I've become the emperor of humanity, and only now is spiritual energy reviving?

[Wisdom Fruit Tree Seeds (Grade C, Low Quality): Requires a high amount of nutrients for growth, has poor adaptability to the environment, and needs comprehensive care. After maturity, it will continuously produce "Wisdom Fruits."]

[A rare treasure, one in a hundred years, that would drive even kings and generals mad.]

An Sheng carefully examined the other seed in her hand, which was as pure as mutton fat jade.

After reviewing the differences between the descriptions of the two seeds, he came to three conclusions:

1. Items of grade D quality are not in the same league as those of grade C. One is merely "countryside martial arts," while the other is something that "kings and generals would go crazy for."

2. It now appears that even if they are of the same type, items related to mental attributes are usually of a higher quality than those related to physical attributes.

3. However, this difference in rarity makes no difference in determining the value of the "King's Treasure" legacy.

An Sheng put the two seeds back into his backpack and decided to plant the Bone Strengthening Tree when he got back.

Anyway, this thing is very adaptable; it can just make fertilizer.

As for the smart fruit trees, let's see if we can get Lao Gu to plant them in a constant-temperature greenhouse.

Otherwise, it would be a huge loss if you planted it in the yard or in a flowerpot and it died.

An Sheng carefully inspected the thatched hut several more times, and only continued walking north after confirming that nothing had been missed.

As time went by, the physical enhancement brought about by the two rotten bone-strengthening fruits gradually became apparent.

An Sheng, who was getting more and more energetic as she walked, thought to herself that if she were in the original situation, she would probably have been poisoned and collapsed on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Several more hours passed northward.

Aside from the fact that he had already come all this way, and frantically looted the corpses to collect a few dozen copper coins, An Sheng, having gained nothing, temporarily withdrew from the Lostbelt.

No other reason than I got tired from walking.

[The newly crowned emperor, will you depart from "Lostbelt: The End of the Great Era"?]

"Yes."

……

An Sheng opened her eyes in her soft little bed.

After escaping the high temperatures, the fatigue of the long journey, and the effects of the rotten bone-strengthening fruit on his body, he felt light and airy, as if he were on the moon.

The true qi in the lower abdomen dantian, originating from the physical body, also increased in size by two sizes as the physique improved.

"This is like someone trying to step on their own foot and fly to the sky..."

An Sheng could even hear her younger sister tapping her feet to a four-beat rhythm in the living room, and the faint sounds of her parents walking down the stairs to the first floor.

He pulled out his phone from under his pillow and sent An Zhiwei a message saying, "Dad will arrive in half a minute."

[The wronged younger sister: ?]

An Sheng didn't care what his younger sister thought and directly opened his personal panel on his phone.

【quiet】

[Realm: None (Just an ordinary carbon-based life form)]

[Physical Strength: 0.9 (If there were no extraordinary beings in the world, you would already be standing at the pinnacle of eight billion humans)]

【Spirit: 0.8】

[Spiritual Power: 0 (Poor, pathetic mortal, the spiritual energy within you is less than that of a single herb in the Great Jing Dynasty)]

[Legacy: Gate of Babylon]

[Skill: Houtu Qi Cultivation Method (An ordinary martial arts technique)]

The number one person below the extraordinary level, the strongest man with a billion!

With the addition of the true qi within his body, he could probably kill ten tiger cubs with a single punch—Hakimi wouldn't have a problem!

An Sheng stood up.

He gently pushed open the heavy double-glazed window with his little finger, closed his eyes, and felt the evening breeze and the subtle sounds of almost the entire building enter his ears, which he then discerned one by one.

Well……

My parents were talking about the recent overtime work at the bureau when they got to the third floor.

The elementary school student on the seventh floor is still blasting TikTok at maximum volume, making the floor rattle. Anyone want to slap him?

Why are those two on the eleventh floor always doing this? It's so embarrassing!

The gossiping voices of middle-aged women could be heard from the first floor, the fifteenth floor, and even hundreds of meters away.

Everything was heard.

An Sheng thought for a moment, found an open space in the room, and tried to do a handstand for the first time in her life.

Success was achieved in one go through control of the body.

Then, slowly and carefully fold all four fingers of both hands together.

One-finger handstand!

His remaining thumb, nourished by the true qi, still steadily supported his entire body.

An Sheng held on for almost three minutes before her fingers gave way and she collapsed to the side.

"call!"

Exhale freely and easily.

Now, he understands a little better about those guys who are obsessed with long-distance running and fitness.

The feeling of gradually increasing physical strength and power is truly captivating.

It's just unknown what his current strength stats are.

Testing in commercial gyms, where the maximum weight for barbells is around 200kg, doesn't seem quite appropriate.

"Old Gu probably has a gym at home, I never noticed before..."

An Sheng knocked on Gu Mingsu's ear.

Tomorrow is Labor Day, and Gu Mingsu, who is usually controlled by her older sister, finally got to touch her phone.

So I replied instantly.

[Azur Lane: A Loli Game - Part 1]

[Azur Lane: Top-Tier Training Setup, Come and Train!]

[Day 1 of Reflection: Are there any temperature-controlled greenhouses where trees can be grown?]

[Azur Lane: A Loli Game - Shall I Have Uncle Xing Build One for You?]

An Sheng paused for a moment, then deleted all the words she had typed that were already halfway through.

[Day 1 of Reflection: The rich are getting richer...]

After replying "Come before going to Aotai," An Sheng focused her attention on the countdown that had been lingering in the corner of her mind.

[2 days, 5 hours, 46 minutes, and 38 seconds remain until the first surge of spiritual energy.]

—When the spiritual energy tide officially arrives, it would be best to become a martial artist.

Based on years of gaming experience, An Sheng knew that if a major game version was updated, the character level cap would definitely be raised accordingly.

Therefore, the number of extraordinary beings, who are now almost extinct, may increase rapidly after the arrival of the spiritual energy tide.

Currently, the amount of true qi is sufficient.

The only differences are in mindset, physical fitness, and skill.

The heart is like Mount Tai collapsing before you, yet remaining calm and composed.

The body is the physical body that has been tempered to the limits of ordinary people.

The skill, in this context, requires the ability to clearly identify the meridians and acupoints throughout the body, to grasp the positions of the internal organs, muscles, and bones, and to integrate the body's strength into every move and stance, which in a sense is similar to the so-called "transformation of energy".

Among them, the body is the simplest.

"The limit of ordinary people" should be the human limit of physical strength reaching "1" or even lower. He can reach it by exploring the Lostbelt, eating some herbs, or cultivating the Qi cultivation method to a great degree.

As for skills, they may be as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people.

However, An Sheng boasted that with his exceptional talent and spiritual attributes, coupled with the detailed explanations of the human body in modern medical books, he could clearly identify and integrate the power after spending a few days in the Lostbelt.

The key is the heart.

Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, you remain unmoved... To put it simply, even if you are certain to die in the next second, you must muster all your strength and fight to the death in this second.

That's how An Sheng understands it anyway.

Overcoming human instincts is not something that can be achieved overnight.

"If we encounter enemies in the Lostbelts again, let's keep one for practice."

Real-world experience is the best teacher.

"in addition……"

An Sheng raised her hand and stared at her arm, which was suspended in mid-air, for a long while, and noticed a barely perceptible tremor.

—When physical attributes exceed mental attributes, the control over the body will decrease.

This is a bad thing.

In the future, if possible, try not to let physical attributes surpass mental attributes by too much.

Fortunately, when Wang Zhicai learned the Houtu Nourishing Qi Method, he also obtained another book related to the spirit, "Huangtian Mingshen Method".

Judging by the time, the progress bar should be almost finished by the time I wake up tomorrow.

Tonight, I'll use AI Hakimi to compile all the medical and human data he needs into a booklet.

An Sheng pushed open the door, greeted her tired-looking father briefly, and then saw her younger sister at the dining table pretending to flip through test papers while awkwardly chatting and laughing with her mother.

hum.

His phone vibrated.

An Sheng glanced at the emoji his younger sister had sent, one of her prostrating herself in gratitude.

While her mother went back to her room to change clothes, An Zhiwei quickly put her hands together in gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord An Sheng, for saving my life."

Immediately afterward, An Zhi narrowed her eyes, touched her chin with a puzzled look, and asked, "Hmm, why do I feel like you're a little different than before?"

An Sheng: "Hehe, so you've finally realized your brother's actually a handsome guy?"

wrong.

An Zhiwei thought to herself.

—Brother, you didn't get more handsome.

—Instead, he's gotten much bigger and seems to have grown taller.

Perhaps my parents, who work overtime all year round and don't see their older brother often, wouldn't notice it at first, but it's really very obvious in her eyes.

After pondering for a long time, An Zhiwei came up with an answer that excited her greatly.

Could it be... that my bro has finally figured things out, started dating, and wants to get in shape?!

She decided to observe secretly for a few days.

……

An Zhiwei was right.

During what should have been a time for sleeping, An Sheng once again ventured into the Lostbelt, where he spent almost the entire day in a secret rendezvous with Hou Tu Yang Qi Fa under the scorching sun before finally giving up, exhausted.

The next day.

The first day of the May Day holiday.

An Sheng, who had a dreamless night, was fully recovered and saw the new cultivation technique that arrived as promised.

[Imperial Heavenly Netherworld Divine Technique: 100%]

[You have learned the skill - Fragment of the Heavenly Netherworld God Technique!]
