Chapter 39

The elevator descended, doors opening.

Rows of track spotlights lit up from above, and soft light rippled across the surrounding walls, illuminating the nearly two-hundred-square-meter space brightly.

Lin Yunqing said softly:

"This place was originally meant to be a health-preservation venue simulating natural scenery, letting Mom sit in meditation when she had nothing to do, nurture her Qi, cultivate her heart.

Later it was shelved, so I had someone install a full set of Life Force Detectors. San Tan Heavy Industry's latest product — quality is definitely no problem."

My dear oh my!

Qin Shi felt like he had walked into a superhero's secret base; everything he looked at seemed novel.

He thought silently in his heart:

"Rich people's way of speaking is really niche; spending a few million is like spending a few hundred bucks.

If I eat a few more servings of Nutrient Paste, I have to consider it."

Lin Yunqing opened the silvery-white machine placed in the center, connected the power and activated the switch, emitting a vibrating hum.

"Xin Yi High School is a strong public school in the Taian Metropolitan Area, fully equipped; Assistant Teacher Qin should know how to test, right?"

Qin Shi stared at the thing that looked like an MRI machine, nodding:

"Take off your clothes, lie inside, then stand up, sit down."

Lin Yunqing adjusted data while saying:

"Right, first look at your physical intensity, body tempering condition.

If needed, we can also test Spiritual Field Power."

San Tan Heavy Industry truly lives up to being a Dongxia State-level giant.

The latest model detector can actually even capture The Brain's spiritual fluctuations.

The instrument at Xin Yi High doesn't have this function.

Looking at the busy Lin Yunqing, Qin Shi politely inquired:

"Teacher Lin, then I'll take them off?"

"Take them off."

Lin Yunqing answered magnanimously without even lifting her head.

Qin Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief; if Teacher Lin suddenly blushed and acted shy, it would make him awkward instead.

Fortunately this dog woman has the straightforward demeanor of a jianghu heroine who doesn't sweat the small stuff, completely not minding this.

Next time I use Deliberate Cannon Fist, I'll go lighter on the force.

He thought this.

"Can start now."

Lin Yunqing sat at the console, secretly putting away the phone she had opened the camera on.

Then without changing expression she swiped open the contact list and typed out a line:

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: 1.8m male high school handsome younger brother, Life Force twelve points or above, minor Old Martial Arts faction genius, quality seedling, buy fast.】

Beep beep.

The phone vibrated once.

The message got a reply.

【Lightning Whirlwind Chop: As everyone knows, male high school, handsome younger brother, Old Martial Arts faction. These three conditions cannot coexist simultaneously.】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: Pics or it didn't happen, one bottle of United Pharmaceutical's Level 4 Energy Liquid in exchange.】

【Lightning Whirlwind Chop: Scam me and you won't eat four Nutrition Meals in your lifetime, Life Force forever stuck at bottleneck!】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: Hurry up, transfer the money! Includes a Life Force physical exam report!】

【Lightning Whirlwind Chop: Transfer amount 48888】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: Payment received】

"Blood profit blood profit!"

Lin Yunqing kept her promise, opened the album, picked a few photos where muscle definition was most obvious and sent them over.

By the way she critiqued them:

"Old Martial Arts faction doesn't take drugs, emphasizes Natural Body Refinement, indeed looks more pleasing to the eye than New Martial Arts faction's muscle men. Tsk tsk tsk, drool-worthy."

Qin Shi, completely unaware he had been sold off, took off his shirt and long pants, leaving only boxer briefs.

He took a deep breath, lay on the large instrument's loading bed, then was slowly pushed into the cabin.

The cantilever rotated, the loading bed with its lid closed shifting from horizontal to vertical.

Under Lin Yunqing's operation, beeping sounds rang out in succession, rings of pale blue light flashing at high frequency, faster and faster.

The Life Force Detector, based on the "Heart-Magnetic Theory" proposed by the famous scholar Yan Tongxuan and which derived countless related application technologies.

Counts as one of the most famous inventions in nearly a thousand years.

During the turbulent period of the Dongxia Old Era, Life Force was difficult to concretize, only able to be vaguely described as conceptual terms like "Innate One Qi", "Source of All Things", "Cosmic Force".

Until Yan Tongxuan, descendant of the First Martial God's lineage, in his capacity as a Grandmaster of Heart Cultivation, first proposed two major theories.

One was "Heart-Magnetic", one was "Three Realms".

The former uses instruments made of special materials to assist, creating a strong magnetic field environment, resonating with bioelectricity, extracting the hidden weak Life Force Fluctuation signals.

Combined with body imaging, bone scanning, various technical aspects integrated.

Finally obtaining the precise numerical unit of Life Force completely and accurately.

As for the latter, it is even more the important cornerstone for all career paths requiring Spiritual Field Power cultivation, such as Mechanics, Meditation Masters, Espers!

Yan Tongxuan was thus elevated to the altar, and the "Tongxuan Award" representing Dongxia's highest academic achievement was established.

"Assistant Teacher Qin's physical intensity is shockingly high."

Lin Yunqing lightly traced with two fingers, enlarging the muscle image as it gradually sharpened.

It could be seen that Qin Shi's four limbs and trunk were exceptionally powerful, as if wrapped and connected by a layer of tough "tendons," integrated as a whole.

In this state, every time his fists and feet operated force, the output power was one hundred percent.

Especially that extremely active life force fluctuation, flourishing and vibrant.

Like a babbling stream, and like towering green mountains.

Though not vast and majestic, it was light and fresh.

The latter was even more precious; this was the promising future unique to young people.

"Old Martial Arts' secret medicine tempering, truly a perverse inheritance. No wonder my glasses were shattered by one punch; Assistant Teacher Qin's physical quality far exceeds his own life force. This represents that his potential hasn't been fully tapped at all."

The more Lin Yunqing looked, the more she felt she had picked up a treasure, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, clamping her legs tight:

"If it were New Martial Arts, with his such excellent conditions, I'd recommend him to a big corporation's youth training coach.

Brush up Star Cup results, and it's very easy to build him into a star Martial Artist.

Pity, Old Martial Arts lacks that bit of appeal; no one wants it anymore."

After Lin Yunqing calmed down, she couldn't help but feel regret again.

For big corporations that most like to sign youth geniuses, train them, and rush them to the Star Cup arena.

Betting on Old Martial Arts is often a reckless gamble.

Because their professional lifespan is too short, unsuitable for marketing investment, erecting a brand image.

No one can guarantee that they can succeed every time they break through the physical limit.

Once they can't continue, accept the backlash, the previously violently consumed potential turns into a deficit.

Turning instead like a bottomless pit, ruthlessly swallowing their own life force.

Bringing consequences of physical ability decline, rapid aging, and level drop.

This is a hurdle even the First Generation Ten Greats couldn't cross.

"But just like Dad said, where is there a child who cries every day, where is there a gambler who loses every day.

All-in is sometimes also a kind of wisdom!"

Lin Yunqing pondered, a trace of hesitation appearing in her eyes.

Rare to catch an undeveloped, untrained Old Martial Arts good seedling.

Seize the opportunity, spend a little money?

Or go all-in, bet everything?

"Life force wave peak starting to rise."

Lin Yunqing hadn't reached an answer yet, but Qin Shi inside the instrument cabin had already entered the second stage.

As the space unfolded, he began to curl up and sit cross-legged, grasping Qi sensation.

Scorching hot airflow stimulated the body, like ladle after ladle of boiling water poured down, causing the skin to gradually redden.

Heat released, body temperature rose, symbolizing the life force curve gradually rising, soaring rapidly!

"Ten points... eleven points... twelve points... no, how is this kid still rising?"

The surprise in Lin Yunqing's eyes gradually turned to shock, until that curve reached the highest wave peak, leveled off, and maintained for a long time without any sign of weakening.

"Fifteen points! Impossible, does he drink energy liquid like water every day? Also impossible, mortal flesh and blood how can it digest and absorb!"

Fifteen points of life force was not worth the distinguished Lin Yunqing losing composure so.

The key lay in that two weeks ago, Qin Shi's life force was only eight points!

"Even if breaking through the physical limit, this exaggerated rise is enough to show Assistant Teacher Qin's potential depth. Almost doubled!"

Lin Yunqing's gaze gradually burned hot, and further she thought of a very terrifying possibility.

If Qin Shi was not an Old Martial Arts root seedling who built foundation from childhood, he hasn't walked this road for long.

"This sister here, this time I've struck a gold mine!"

Beep beep.

The mobile phone vibrated again.

【Lightning Whirlwind Chop: Such a fresh, juicy, top-quality dish! You didn't betray my trust! Bring him to meet me someday, give me some performance!】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: He's dead, car accident just happened.】

【Lightning Whirlwind Chop:??】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Couldn't be resuscitated, already sent to funeral home for cremation.】

【Lightning Whirlwind Chop:???】

【Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: So sad, can you Venmo me fifty more? Want to eat a Full Family Bucket to ease my mood.】

【Lightning Whirlwind Chop: You wait for death!】

【This message was sent, but rejected by the other party】

Lin Yunqing delighted:

"So easy to fool! With that little IQ of yours, how can you fight me!"

She rubbed her hands, preparing to take out half her wealth, fully supporting Assistant Teacher Qin.

Anyway just buy a few less energy liquid packages, eat high-energy food a few less times, visit the Imperial Capital Haizhou Commercial Center a few less times.

Even if a loss, gritting teeth can bear it.

But if it succeeds, that's huge profit!

This era, the highest return investment is digging up Martial Artist reserves!

As long as they can set section rank as full-time, obtain honorary title, pass Education Bureau's aid project review, obtain certification qualification!

Simply winning like crazy!

"Teacher Lin, I want to test my Spiritual Field Power again."

Qin Shi's voice came from inside the instrument cabin.

"Alright."

Lin Yunqing grinned, completely unable to suppress her amusement.

Right now, even if Assistant Teacher Qin confessed, she wouldn't be unable to accept it.

At worst, she'd sacrifice a bit of her looks, endure the painful flavor of being ravaged by a 1.8-meter-tall male high schooler through tears!

"That bitch is laughing so lecherously."

Qin Shi, inside the instrument cabin, saw Lin Yunqing's face baring her teeth in a foolish grin through the transparent cover.

How could there be such a woman in the world, full of sexual repulsion, a long-legged beauty who makes one unable to conjure any romantic fancies!
