Wang Yi was reborn into a world of Swallowed Star. After eighteen years of living an ordinary yet extraordinary life, he finally met the conditions on the eve of his high school graduation. He activated his own golden finger and completed his first sign-in. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in for the first time. You have signed on Earth. Special rewards have been granted: Nine Tribulations Secret Code!] [Your genetic level has been increased threefold.] Disclaimer : This is Translation Original Author: Boss Styx I have no ownership over Swallowed Star novel, This just a translation. I have zero rights over the original series. It's also one of my favorite light novels
After leaving Gao Yurong's house, it was already dark. Wang Yi walked out of the complex and glanced back, noticing that the lights in Gao Yurong's house were still on. He shook his head, not because he didn't recognize Gao Yurong's feelings for him, but because he was not ready to address them at this time.
After all, he had more pressing responsibilities.
Wang Yi was inexperienced in matters of young love.
"Let's focus..." Wang Yi murmured to himself.
Lin Youyu, Shen Yan, and Gao Yurong all appeared in his mind. Wang Yi shook his head, thinking he must have been slacking off recently if he was dwelling on these thoughts.
"Let's practice more today."
Soon, Wang Yi arrived outside the District Xtreme Martial Arts Hall.
He swiped his card skillfully at the entrance and walked in, suddenly remembering that he hadn't signed in for the day.
According to the rules, he could sign in at the martial arts hall once a day. "Panel," Wang Yi thought silently.
A golden panel appeared before him.
"Sign in."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. Reward: Body Experience +1.]
[Your body style has been elevated to the level of 'Proficient'.]
[Number of check-ins available for this place: 0]
Wang Yi frowned upon hearing this.
Physical fitness for a warrior can be improved through training. However, skills such as body techniques and sword techniques rely on experience.
It's not enough to have strong physical strength; high-level body techniques require practice.
To improve body techniques and sword skills, one must undergo rigorous training repeatedly—there's no shortcut.
A solid foundation, proficiency, and ease of use are the first three levels of body techniques and sword techniques. This is just the foundation and is the lowest level among human warriors.
The levels can be divided into: Basic, Subtle, Perfect, and Artistic Conception!
"I didn't expect the sign-in panel to actually improve my physical fitness. It's incredible," Wang Yi thought. He felt a vast amount of knowledge and memory flood into his mind, while his body instinctively acquired a new level of dodging and experience as if he had trained thousands of times.
For ordinary martial artists, improving body skills is difficult. It requires extensive training to make even a slight improvement.
Wang Yi had spent over a decade of hard training to reach the first level of solid body technique, with a long way to go to proficiency.
But the sign-in panel allowed him to advance from solid to proficient in one sign-in!
Incredible!
The improvement in body skills also made Wang Yi's overall strength stronger.
After all, body techniques are part of strength.
Wang Yi couldn't help but think, "Since I can sign in at the Xtreme Martial Arts Hall in Guqing District, I should be able to sign in at the Thunderbolt Gym as well."
There are currently two major martial arts gyms in the world: the Xtreme Martial Arts Gym, created by the world's top powerhouse "Hong," and the Thunderbolt Gym, established by the world's second strongest fighter, "Thunder God."
These two are the strongest individuals who stand at the top of the human world!
They are known for their 'invincibility.'
"Thunder God" is renowned for his speed, physical strength, and power amplitude, while "Hong" has even more extraordinary abilities!
Wang Yi is aware of the prowess of "Hong" and "Thunder God." The gap between him and these two is as vast as the difference between the sun and the moon compared to a firefly, but this only motivates him more to catch up.
"With this sign-in panel, if I can't surpass Hong and Thunder God, then I'm really useless!"
Wang Yi was filled with determination.
"But I have signed in once today; I have to wait until tomorrow to sign in at the Thunderbolt Gym."
The sign-in panel allows only one sign-in per day, and the same place can only be signed in once.
There are other restrictions as well.
Wang Yi was walking through the courtyard of the martial arts hall, wearing his senior student certificate. It was now after 7 o'clock in the evening. Since most martial arts halls are frequented by students and office workers, they are usually empty during the day and crowded at night. At this moment, there were many students around the lawns and roadsides. When they saw Wang Yi, they greeted him with respect.
"Brother!"
"Hello, Brother."
Wang Yi smiled and nodded in greeting but was preoccupied with his own thoughts.
"Now that my genetic level has increased threefold and my body skills have reached proficiency, passing the quasi-warrior examination should be no problem."
To become a warrior, one must pass two assessments, with the 'quasi-warrior assessment' being the first.
It tests 'fist strength', 'speed', and 'neural reaction speed'!
With Wang Yi's current physical fitness, he has long surpassed the requirements for a 'quasi-warrior' and reached the level of a real warrior.
Of course, physical fitness is only the basic part. Real warriors have undergone countless life-and-death battles. Combat experience, willpower, and on-the-spot performance are also crucial aspects.
This is why there is a 'warrior combat assessment'—to filter out those who pass the physical fitness test but fail in actual combat.
"But I've improved too quickly. Previously, my punching strength was around 800 kilograms. Many people in the martial arts gym know this. If I suddenly reveal my enhanced strength, it might attract unnecessary suspicion," Wang Yi thought.
Rising from 800 kg to 850 kg might be seen as a genius-level improvement.
Achieving a doubling of strength is rare and signifies a once-in-a-century talent.
But moving from 800 kg to 2,400 kg?
What would people think of him?
The trouble that might follow could be quite bothersome for Wang Yi.
All his activities are well-known and obvious.
He couldn't explain how he suddenly became so powerful.
"You can't take risks!" Wang Yi thought.
"Even if I want to showcase my strength, I need to pass the martial artist assessment and obtain the genetic primordial energy training method first!"
The genetic primordial energy training method is a technique for humans to absorb universal energy and optimize gene evolution!
It's similar to ancient martial arts techniques used for internal strength cultivation in martial arts novels!
But it's focused on genetic power!
It strengthens the body to the point where modern thermal weapons can be ignored!
However, the genetic training method is confidential and can only be obtained after passing the 'quasi-warrior assessment'. One must reach the 'quasi-warrior' level to have a chance to practice successfully!
The vast majority of quasi-warriors succeed in their training, though a few do not.
Wang Yi certainly wouldn't consider himself unsuccessful with his current threefold genetic level enhancement.
"Moreover, practicing genes for the first time is the biggest improvement!"
Wang Yi's eyes sparkled.
"Even if there is a substantial increase in physical fitness now, others will only see me as a rare and exceptional genius, eager to recruit me. They wouldn't suspect me."
Wang Yi recalled that in the original story, Luo Feng's first cultivation of genetic power led to a significant increase in physical fitness. This greatly shocked Jiang Nian, the district martial arts instructor, who then recommended him to Zhuge Tao, the director of the Jiangnan Base City General Assembly, resulting in a 'special recruitment contract'!
That treatment is something Wang Yi envies now.
"Luo Feng only increased his strength to 2,000 kilograms, and he was considered a monster genius appearing only once or twice a year in Jiangnan Base City. With my strength potentially reaching 2,400 kilograms and continued training, plus the genetic awakening, my improvement could be significant!"
"Plus, with sign-ins!"
"Increasing strength to four to five thousand kilograms during the initial practice is not unheard of."
"Joining an elite training camp is not an exaggeration."
"Ah, I'm such a genius."
