Chapter 39: Rising Fame Achieved! Prestige Value System Activated

Song Family Villa.

Song Mo was training under Bruce's guidance.

The two were currently sparring.

Although Bruce wasn't using his full strength, Song Mo—who had only been learning martial arts for a few days—was able to hold his own against Bruce's restrained attack.

Bruce praised:

"Boss, you've got real talent for martial arts. I'm certain you've never trained before."

"Yet everything I taught you, you learned on the first try. Your progress is already exceptional."

Song Mo was drenched in sweat.

Bruce, by contrast, remained calm and composed.

He moved lazily as he spoke:

"I originally thought teaching someone like you—a spoiled young master—would be a hassle, given how weak your foundation was, and I always feared you'd get hurt."

"But now it seems this job isn't so hard after all."

These past few days, he'd been learning Sanda.

Song Mo had already unlocked a Fighting Skill.

【Fighting Novice: 88/100】

Let Bruce feed him a few more moves, teach him some real practical skills.

He'd likely reach Fighting Beginner soon.

Once he reached Fighting Beginner, he could take on three or five ordinary adult males without weapons.

Then, Song Mo lost focus.

Bruce swept him down with a spinning kick.

Bruce shrugged his shoulders.

"Boss, zoning out during a fight isn't a good habit."

Song Mo waved his hand.

Signaling to end the training.

Just then, a digital alert sounded in his mind.

The System's voice!

"Through your relentless efforts, you've gained substantial Prestige Value and achieved a System Prestige Achievement."

"Phase One 【Rising Fame】 completed."

"System Mall officially activated."

"Prestige Value System activated."

Song Mo told Bruce:

Training for today is over.

Immediately, he entered his room.

Ready to thoroughly explore the System Mall's capabilities.

Opened the Mall.

Song Mo examined it carefully.

He discovered an item called 【Prestige Value】.

He currently possessed exactly 10 million Prestige Value, which continued to rise—this was a virtual currency calculated from his influence and fame.

Prestige Value could be used to purchase items from the System Mall.

It could also be used for lotteries.

Song Mo checked what was available in the Mall.

Then…

"Holy shit!"

Song Mo exclaimed.

It was an instinctive reaction!

The items displayed before him were astonishing!

Items: Invisibility Cloak, Bamboo Helicopter, Master Key, Future Mech, Super AI…

Medicines: Great Return Pill, Marrow-Washing Pill, Beauty-Preserving Pill, Bone-Strengthening Pill, Anti-Cancer Pill, Body-Strengthening Pill…

Books: Five Animal Frolics, Health-Preservation Secrets, All-Inclusive Great Tonifying Decoction Recipe, Dragon-Tiger Bone-Strengthening Pill Recipe, Stable Temperature Harmony Formula, Stable Temperature Harmonious Combination Formula…

Everything imaginable!

Insanely powerful!

Holding 10 million Prestige Value, Song Mo instantly felt inflated.

Buy buy buy!

After careful browsing and selection:

Marrow-Washing Pill, 500,000 Prestige Value!

Bought!

Da Huan Dan, 500,000 Prestige Value!

Bought!

Long Hu Zhuang Gu Wan Recipe, 1,000,000 Prestige Value!

Bought!

Five Animal Exercises, 5 million Prestige Value!

Got it!

Instantly spent 7 million Prestige Value.

Song Mo felt unsatisfied, but stopped purchasing anyway.

Over three million left—save it!

"Trust no one but yourself; as long as my combat power reaches a certain level, even Jesus can't take my life—unless the state comes for me!"

Choosing the tech path might create greater impact and buzz.

But for Song Mo,

There's plenty of time ahead.

Self-preservation is the most important!

Song Mo was curious: why could such a simple Five Animal Exercises cost a full 5 million Prestige Value?

After reading its description, Song Mo finally decided to buy it.

Five Animal Exercises: Imitate bear, tiger, monkey, deer, and bird—fully exercise the body, unlock physical potential, strengthen tendons and bones, prolong life.

Human potential is infinite!

Song Mo firmly believed that pursuing evolution and transformation, focusing solely on developing one's own martial arts, was the true path of Martial Dao.

As for Combat, Bruce's teachings were already enough!

The system could not directly implant power into Song Mo.

Everything still had to be trained by Song Mo himself!

He clicked to use 【Five Animal Exercises】, and immediately felt a flood of information pouring into his mind, displaying a series of images.

In the images, a figure was continuously performing various stretching movements!

Song Mo wasn't foolish—he began moving, imitating the images in his mind.

Fortunately, his room was large enough to perform them.

During this process, Song Mo received a cultivation mantra; as he silently recited it, he felt a qi flowing through his limbs and meridians.

When he fully mastered it,

The images in his mind vanished.

To focus his attention and sense the "qi" within his meridians, Song Mo had kept his eyes closed the whole time.

When he happily opened his eyes,

Song Mo felt his vision had improved, his hearing sharpened, and his body grown more flexible and supple.

It was the work of the vanished qi!

Equivalent to having practiced ten full rounds!

At the same time, Song Mo gained a special skill.

【Five Animal Exercises: Beginner: 1/1000】

Just the Beginner stage? To reach Proficient, he needed 1000 proficiency points?

Definitely a good item!

Song Mo felt this wasn't the traditional Five Animal Exercises—it was a heavily modified version, refined to perfection by absorbing the essence of the Five Animal Exercises!

Song Mo then turned his attention to the other items.

Bone-Marrow Cleansing Pill: Purify tendons and marrow, return to primordial qi.

Da Huan Dan: When life is in peril, it can sustain life; if unharmed, its potency fully transforms into pure primordial energy, strengthening the body and increasing power.

Song Mo put away the Da Huan Dan.

He picked up the Bone-Marrow Cleansing Pill and swallowed it directly.

He'd heard: when a person is in the mother's womb, primordial qi is most abundant; after birth, that primordial qi gradually dissipates, mostly gone by age eight or nine.

Primordial qi aids martial cultivation, so many begin training from childhood.

Although Song Mo was already nineteen, by taking this Bone-Marrow Cleansing Pill, he could still reverse to primordial state, improve his innate quality, and make martial training twice as effective.

The Bone-Marrow Cleansing Pill entered his stomach.

Song Mo immediately felt a strong urge.

His face changed—he opened the door and ran to the bathroom.

During detoxification, impurities exuding medicinal fragrance continuously seeped from his pores.

He took a shower while he was at it.

After washing, he looked in the mirror.

He felt his skin had improved greatly.

It had a translucent, glowing quality.

"Next, I'll use the Dragon-Tiger Bone-Strengthening Pill formula to brew my own potent medicine and enhance my physique."

But the Dragon-Tiger Bone-Strengthening Pill formula requires wild tiger bone as the key ingredient.

Only then will the effect be optimal.

Wild tiger…

Song Mo knew it was hard to get in China.

But if he was willing to spend any price, he could find it in Maoxiong.

Song Mo called Sheldon.

Abroad, he clearly had more influence than Song Mo did.
