Gao Wu: I have a dimensional gate

Lu Qiu shook his head and chuckled; he had forgotten about that.

The so-called innate ability is the ability to manipulate source energy before one becomes a source energy warrior.

Physical enhancement, brain strengthening, and even the manipulation of fire and frost.

They have no advantage below martial artists, and may even be slower to cultivate because their bodies are too weak to withstand the source energy.

But once you become a martial artist, you'll achieve instant success.

Those with innate abilities will never stop at the Source Energy Warrior level; breaking through to the next higher realm is almost inevitable.

However, such people are extremely rare, even rarer than Little Celestials.

He is the only student of Xiaotianren in this year's graduating class of 032, but if we go back several decades, we can count him on one hand.

As for innate abilities... there has never been one in the more than 100 years since the establishment of Resource City 032.

Talent and ability don't depend on genetics or hard work; they depend on luck.

A resource city with over a million people might only produce one every hundred years or so, so it's no wonder Lu Qiu didn't consider that possibility.

It seems that the practical training not only covers 032, but also those resource cities at the top of the sequence, which must be for those with talent.

Lu Qiu closed the training manual: "I'm just taking a look. There are no gifted individuals in the entire 032. Even if I could afford to replace it, I wouldn't replace this thing."

Wang Hao chuckled: "We were just discussing how you suddenly became so powerful, maybe you've awakened a special talent."

Lu Qiu slapped him on the back of the head: "Focus on your cultivation, don't let your mind wander."

Wang Hao's words reminded him that he needed to quickly organize his cultivation insights from the morning and send them to the group he had just created.

He took out paper and pen and began to carefully recall his experience, writing it down quickly on the paper.

Three hours later.

"In short, when practicing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation), you can focus more on the mental aspect, viewing the bones as the roots, the muscles as the branches and trunk, and the Qi and blood transporting nutrients within them. The physical body is the entire tree."

When the three of them resonate with each other, it can be said that they have reached the threshold of becoming little celestials.

"Mission accomplished." Lu Qiu closed the pen cap, rubbed his sore and numb hands, and stretched.

He spent the entire afternoon carefully reviewing the few minutes Chen Jue had instructed him, writing thousands of words and then spending a long time revising them before finally producing this note of his insights.

Lu Qiu took a picture of the notes and uploaded it to the group file, then tagged everyone in the group chat.

No one replied, but more than a dozen file download notifications popped up instantly; everyone must be getting impatient.

After packing his things, Lu Qiu was about to go home and prepare for today's journey through the boundary gate when his phone vibrated.

Upon opening it, I found that someone in the group had sent a special red envelope.

The sender was Xu Wen, the recipient was him, and the amount was a full thousand yuan.

Lu Qiu looked up and saw that there were hardly any people left in the classroom. He didn't see Xu Wen. He asked in the group chat, "Giving money before even a minute has passed? People will think you're a shill. And how did you even get into the group?"

All the people who gathered at noon were grown men, so he was sure Xu Wen hadn't participated.

"I had Wang Hao pull it."

Xu Wen sent two messages in a row: "My aunt Xu Banxia is an intermediate source energy martial artist who has just reached the Lesser Celestial Realm. What she told me is similar to what you said."

There's even less reason to buy it then. Lu Qiu had no idea what this woman was up to.

"But he didn't explain it in as much detail as you did, and it was very useful," she replied.

"Holy crap, Brother Lu is awesome!"

"So, in other words, my brother Lu's martial arts skills have already reached the level of an intermediate-level Source Energy martial artist?"

"Don't tell anyone, our group is destined for greatness!"

……

Xu Wen's words caused an uproar among the group. After a round of praise, everyone transferred money.

With her 1,000 yuan already in the picture, no one else transferred less than that amount.

The group consisted of sixteen people, and Lu Qiu had 20,000 members in his tent.

Lu Qiu was both amused and exasperated.

He was thinking of giving each person fifty or a hundred as a token gesture, and a thousand or a few hundred would be quite good. Who knew Xu Wen would pull this stunt?

"Never mind, I've got the money now, let's upgrade my equipment first."

Lu Qiu, who had just left the school, originally planned to go straight home, but instead strayed and headed towards Market Street.

……

032 Resource City, Wu'an Community in the North of the City.

032 is not large, and could even be described as small, but it houses a million people, resulting in an extremely high land utilization rate.

Lu Qiu's residential area, which is only 8 square kilometers, is crammed with 200,000 people.

The buildings are extremely densely packed, with no regard for ventilation or lighting; residents of two buildings can shake hands directly by opening their windows.

In contrast, Wu'an Community is quite spacious.

It not only has artificial hills and ponds, but also flowers, trees, and the occasional chirping of birds, which is completely different from the rough style of the whole city.

There are no apartment buildings here, only rows of townhouses.

After all, it's a place where martial artists live, so it's naturally not the same as ordinary people.

Xu Wen walked into Building 12, Row 3. Her parents weren't there, but a woman who looked seven-tenths like her was sitting on the sofa.

However, unlike her fair skin, the woman's skin was a healthy wheat color, and a sharp scar above her left eye, cutting across her eyebrow, added a touch of fierceness.

"Auntie," Xu Wen greeted, "Why did you return to 032 ahead of schedule?"

"It's all because of your internship." Xu Banxia patted the sofa casually. "Come sit down, your aunt has good news."

Xu Wen sat down and asked, "Did you get the cultivation method to help me break through to the Lesser Celestial Realm?"

"A little celestial being?" Xu Banxia scoffed. "You think I can't teach you anything? Be bolder and keep thinking!"

Xu Wen shook her head.

She has a quiet personality, which is the opposite of her outgoing aunt. Although they have a good relationship, this situation often occurs.

"Just as boring as your dad." Xu Banxia patted her niece on the shoulder. "The compatibility results are in, and guess what?"

Xu Wen blinked, but still didn't speak.

Xu Banxia had no choice but to say to her icy niece, "Your compatibility is 55.7%, the highest in the entire alliance! Just send me the talent potion directly, otherwise who would reply to this godforsaken 032?"

"So, if I drink this potion, I can awaken my innate abilities?" Xu Wen stared at the temperature-controlled incubator on the table, marked with a top-secret symbol, and whispered, "Can it help me become a Little Celestial?"

For some reason, she couldn't calm down today; Lu Qiu's face kept appearing in her mind.

Xu Banxia sighed, "Why are you staring at that little celestial being? As long as you awaken your talent, you'll be directly admitted through the Nine Schools Special Admission Program—the Nine Schools Alliance! That's the Nine Schools Alliance!"

Are there any side effects?

"Uh, yes," Xu Banxia choked for a moment, "there will be damage to the body, and the three dimensions may decrease a bit."

"But what are you afraid of? With your aunt here, can't you earn enough money to nourish your body? If it weren't for your father back then, I'd be dead somewhere long ago. Why are you being so polite with me?"

She patted her chest and made a grand promise, then slumped back onto the sofa: "But you're right, if the talent awakens successfully and reaches the level of a Lesser Celestial, it's probably possible to enter the Martial Hero Program."

A hint of doubt finally surfaced in Xu Wen's clear eyes: "The Wuying Plan?"

"The new training program launched by the People's Federation with special approval from the nine schools has a threshold of talent and the ability to reach the Lesser Celestial Realm level before becoming a martial artist."

"It's full of monsters, but there are also monster-level mentors and resources," Xu Banxia said, shrugging. "Drink the talent potion first; it'll take quite a while to take effect."

She used iris recognition to open the incubator and handed the medicine to her niece.

Xu Wen didn't hesitate, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, then looked earnestly at her aunt: "I'm thinking of Little Celestials, who are above martial artists."
