Normal cultivation methods to absorb Yuan energy are far too slow; even an Earthling’s physique won’t help much. I must get Yuan Stones soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo rose quietly, picked up a wooden basin, and prepared to wash up, careful not to wake Liu Xuande and Li Zhanxing, still fast asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the dormitory stood a large water tank; though he didn’t know where the water came from, at least there was water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo slowly opened the wooden door, fearing the creak would disturb them—but still woke one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t mind it. They should be waking up soon,” Zang Feng said, eyes still closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… Zang Senior Brother, you were cultivating all night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo was curious—how could someone stay awake all night without sleep?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo turned to look at Zang Feng and noticed a faint glow beneath his chest, so dim it was visible only because the room was dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it a technique or some treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though curious, Cang Luo understood enough not to be so naive as to ask outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zang Feng nodded, halted his cultivation, and the glow beneath his chest vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes and said, “My talent is average. To grow stronger, I must work harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zang Senior Brother is right. I must learn from you,” Cang Luo sighed, shaking his head. Clearly, he still wasn’t working hard enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. Go wash up. Then we’ll head to the Beast Forest together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zang Feng suddenly leapt from bed, strode to Li Zhanxing’s cot, and kicked him awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhanxing scrambled up in panic, grabbing his basin to wash up; Liu Xuande was also jolted awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So brutal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo watched Zang Feng’s wake-up method and broke into a cold sweat—he suspected this wasn’t the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a quarter-hour later, all four had washed up. Cang Luo, Liu Xuande, and Li Zhanxing each took an iron sword and a backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zang Feng carried nothing in his hands, yet no one objected—he was the team leader and the strongest, so such treatment was expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron swords were ordinary, not engraved with any magical arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo’s sword had originally belonged to Zang Feng, who said he didn’t need it; Cang Luo gladly accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the backpacks were dried rations, water, and several sheets of animal hide and hemp cloth for setting up tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everything ready, the four left Xuantian Gate and sprinted toward the Beast Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed through Xuantian Town outside Xuantian Gate, Cang Luo learned something interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuantian Town was governed by Xuantian Gate, home to hundreds of thousands, and housed ten thousand laborer disciples of Xuantian Gate; only those who became Warriors could enter the Outer Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laborer disciples were youths aged fourteen to fifteen who had activated their dantian but had not yet formed a Yuan Wheel—called Martial Apprentices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the planet Yuanwu, roughly one percent of humans activated their dantian and became Martial Apprentices upon turning fourteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of these Martial Apprentices joined sects as laborer disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others joined the military, learning army techniques and exchanging battle merits for cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some chose to become retainers for powerful clans or wealthy families…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the chance of forming a Yuan Wheel and becoming a Warrior was only about one in ten; ninety percent of Martial Apprentices would never walk the Martial Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the ratio of ordinary people to Warriors on Yuanwu was roughly a thousand to one—one Warrior per thousand people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuantian Gate recruited ten thousand Martial Apprentices annually—ten thousand laborer disciples—not for free, with a ten-silver-tael entrance fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ten thousand laborer disciples lived in Xuantian Town, working and taking a special herbal decoction provided by Xuantian Gate to aid in forming their Yuan Wheels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their duties included mining Yuan Stones, managing herb gardens, orchards, vegetable plots, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these were Xuantian Gate’s assets, and the sect paid no wages—only provided food and lodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when a laborer disciple successfully formed a Yuan Wheel and became an Outer Gate disciple did they stop working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who failed to form a Yuan Wheel after one year were expelled from Xuantian Gate and sent back whence they came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information came from Liu Xuande. Cang Luo found nothing odd about it—until Zang Feng spoke one sentence and made everything clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zang Feng said with meaning, “The herbal decoction Xuantian Gate gives laborer disciples must be taken continuously for eleven months to have any hope of forming a Yuan Wheel. Some succeed earlier, but they’re extremely rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo instantly understood—it was precisely what made it interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laborer disciples had to take the decoction for eleven months because Xuantian Gate wanted them to work a full year for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much wealth could this free labor force generate for Xuantian Gate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even counting the ten-silver-tael entrance fee—ten thousand disciples meant one hundred thousand silver taels, or ten thousand low-grade Yuan Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo sighed deeply, recalling the Mission Hall and the Treasures Pavilion—suddenly realizing Xuantian Gate was a corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chief Supreme Elder was the chairman; the Sect Master was the CEO.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Institutional Elders were department heads; other Elders were senior executives; the Stewards were middle management; the disciples were employees…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Forest lay in the northeast of Tongzhou, Chu State, one hundred thirty-five li north of Xuantian Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Forest was vast, covering nearly a quarter of Tongzhou’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the east it bordered the sea; within it ran a mountain range called the Xanyin Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xanyin Mountains extended southward to fifty li beyond Xuantian Gate, where their southernmost end held a Yuan Stone mine, seized by Xuantian Gate and mined by free laborer disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zang Feng led the three in sprinting, claiming it was “cultivating their body technique”—one hundred thirty-five li covered in under two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they weren’t even exhausted; though their physical strength was drained, it could be replenished by Yuan energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Liu and Li sat on the ground, panting as they restored their Yuan energy and physical strength—both had used up nearly all of both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo, however, still had ample Yuan energy; only his physical strength was severely depleted, and he now sat quietly converting Yuan energy back into physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the rest, Cang Luo saw a small village ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling it a village was an exaggeration—it consisted of only a few simple wooden huts and many tents, with several Xuantian Gate disciples moving about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that place ahead?” Cang Luo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhanxing, still panting beside him, replied weakly, “It’s one of Xuantian Gate’s camps in the Beast Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A resting spot for sect disciples training here. There are dozens of such camps, big and small.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see. Let’s go—I can’t wait to fight some beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Cang Luo’s physical strength had fully recovered—he was now energetic, full of fighting spirit, and exhilarated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had just discovered that his satellite possessed an extremely perverted ability—the reason his Yuan energy never ran out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo realized that as his Yuan energy was consumed, it was instantly replenished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, replenished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not absorbed from nature, nor drawn from Yuan Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery stunned Cang Luo—he initially thought it was another cheat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlimited Yuan Energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like having infinite mana, able to cast skills freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cang Luo soon realized this Yuan energy wasn’t created from nothing—he could faintly sense it was being transmitted to him by his mysterious satellite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he consumed Yuan energy, the satellite directly sent more into his dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this passive recovery could not be used to form a Yuan Wheel—only Yuan energy absorbed through cultivating his technique could serve that purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though slightly disappointing, Cang Luo was already deeply satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are Garen and Yasuo so overpowered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they have no mana bar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo guessed the satellite’s own energy consumption wasn’t solar—it absorbed Yuan energy from space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the satellite shared some kind of connection, allowing him to access and use certain satellite functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like linking to its camera, or controlling its laser cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like connecting his phone to Earth’s network, and now this unlimited Yuan energy…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reached this conclusion, Cang Luo’s emotions remained turbulent—he was struggling to control his facial muscles, even biting his tongue until it bled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t laugh. Absolutely don’t laugh. Don’t expose my greatest secret!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Cang Luo desperately wanted to fight a beast—to test his unlimited Yuan energy in battle, to see how else he could use it beyond endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recovered so fast?” Zang Feng glanced curiously at Cang Luo and the still-resting Li Zhanxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo replied calmly, “Yes, nearly fully recovered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zang Feng nodded slightly. “Good. Let’s go. First, find a spot at the camp to set up our tent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zang Feng casually pulled Cang Luo and Li Zhanxing to their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo thanked him, and the four walked toward the nearby camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Set up camp first, then enter the Beast Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>",1583,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0b267180c1aa6adb66f440588b8d2ca53617c49667a7016893d8933b8a646f33","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-28","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-26",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
