Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 83 - 73: Potential Limit, Invitation to Join (Second Update!)

Chapter 83: Chapter 73: Potential Limit, Invitation to Join (Second Update!)

"Ouch ouch ouch ouch——"

In the basement, Qin Shi delivered a beautiful shoulder throw, smashing Lin Yunqing into the soft mat, though he held back a little considering the Fourth Level Energy Liquid.

That bitch could enjoy baby-like sleep once again.

"Is this how you repay me!"

Lin Yunqing puffed out her cheeks, rubbing her dramatically shaking chest.

What a painful throw!

"Helping you develop your Life Force isn’t also a form of expressing gratitude?"

Qin Shi shrugged.

He had figured out the bitch’s nature; you absolutely cannot treat her nicely.

The moment you show a bit of gentleness, Lin Yunqing immediately acts presumptuous.

Must teach her harshly, just like dealing with a Samoyed tearing up the house.

"Could the bitch be a masochist? Actually enjoying this specific treatment?"

Qin Shi thought back to their first in-depth exchange, where a deliberate punch turned her eyes black and blue, marking their bond.

This woman, something’s really off!

"Sigh, my potential limit stands as it is, no matter how hard I try, it’s unlikely to have any effect."

Lin Yunqing suddenly lost interest. Although her father was a renowned scholar, a guest professor at the Four National Universities.

Yet she aspired to follow her mother, take the Martial Artist path.

Unfortunately, her innate potential limit was too low; even with all the resources, she could only reach the Amateur Level, around Fourth or Fifth Rank.

"What’s a potential limit?"

Qin Shi felt like a curious baby.

Due to his background as a worker’s child from Old Factory Street, his knowledge of the surroundings was indeed limited.

No way around it, with various sealing policies in place; Heng Province’s information monopoly was terribly severe.

"The three main systems have been steadfastly established and perfected over time. Dongxia has long summarized an effective assessment method."

Lin Yunqing had her palm behind her head, looking at the upright Qin Shi.

Could it be the classic stone-touching queue, then "Third Strength Rank"?

Qin Shi sneered inwardly.

"Blood and flesh activity tests start from age five and are conducted annually until age ten.

They roughly determine the potential limit for the Martial Artist path with about eighty percent accuracy."

Lin Yunqing’s tone was regretful; wealthy families from Imperial Capital and Hai Province spent high costs inviting professionals for "career planning" right from the child’s birth.

Strong blood and flesh activity suited the Martial Artist path.

Exceptional Spirituality or a certain degree of Mechanical Affinity.

There is the potential for exploring the Spiritual Ability and Mechanical Systems.

"Brother Yuan and Brother Cheng thought the first significant turning point in life was the college entrance examination."

Qin Shi’s mouth twitched, but looking at it that way, the first should be amniotic fluid.

It makes sense; for the rich or middle class in the Tai’an Metropolitan Area, the arrangement of classes and special courses from an early age is routine, let alone those in super-first-tier administrative zones like Imperial Capital and Hai Province.

"Why does Teacher Lin have to pursue Martial Arts? Is it because of the legendary aura of the First Ten Greats?"

Qin Shi asked, head lowered.

Lin Yunqing suddenly sat up; her loose practice clothes instantly tightened:

"It’s cool! Haven’t you watched the final battle between Qi Wuxiang and He Lanchan in the Star Cup? They used the entire planet as their ring; the sky, the ground, the ocean, nowhere was not a battlefield!

A punch that shook the stars, disturbed the magnetic field, moved the continental shelf... It was too cool!"

What a pure reason.

Qin Shi’s forehead veins twitched.

Sure enough, no expectations should be placed on the bitch.

He was expecting to hear some passionate lines like "pursuing dreams" or "elders’ expectations."

"Don’t listen to her tough talk. Little Qingqing, when studying in Imperial Capital, was often bullied by that Yu guy, she lost her little pearls several times."

Chen Yun, sitting aside and playing a game casually, unapologetically exposed:

"Things like pulling braids, cutting hair, stealing toys, putting cockroaches in pencil cases... They may seem insignificant, but they left Little Qingqing deeply marked, never forgotten.

She wishes she could become a Martial God and crush that Yu kid."

Bullying even in kindergarten?

Qin Shi blinked.

"Tch! Don’t make me sound like a pushover; I fought back too, okay!

Pouring dirty water on Yu Li, tearing up his homework... I just never succeeded!"

Lin Yunqing continued to act tough.

Qin Shi stared at the proudly raised head of the bitch, touching the Fourth Level Energy Liquid he carried.

A wave of excitement not fitting his psychological age suddenly surged:

"Teacher Lin, if we get a chance to compete in the Star Cup and meet that Yu guy.

I’ll help you— make him cry!"

Lin Yunqing looked at the earnest Qin Shi, stunned as if scalded by burning iron, hastily turning her head.

Damn it! The damned feeling of myocardial infarction!

She gritted her teeth and hypnotized herself repeatedly.

Absolutely must not fall for it! Little Qin assistant is a finance product!

Investments need returns, no impulsive decisions!

"What a sin."

Chen Yun, watching, facepalmed.

The traditional talent of the Lin Family.

Indeed a teacher-student romance!

...

...

Returning to the shacks of Old Factory Street, the crowded streets after the rain finally weren’t so chaotic

After learning some truths about Heng Province New Star from Chen Yun, Qin Shi’s desire to escape the current situation grew stronger.

A comfortable environment, powerful strength for a sense of security, and status with welfare and benefits... He needed all of these.

"Old Liang said he’s preparing materials for Breaking the Second Limit, wonder how much more is needed."

Qin Shi muttered, achieving the First Limit on muscle and bones would roughly bring him to about Eighth Rank at the Amateur Level.

If he also breaks the Second Limit, the combination would make development speed snowball.

Estimate getting close to fifty points, the level of Qiguang Heng University Martial Arts System students.

"Ask Teacher Lin one day if there are ways to elevate citizen level and raise permissions.

Although Sister Yun seems more helpful in this regard."

Qin Shi pondered, the Urban Circle Inspection Department held overwhelming authority.

Similar to a combined public and inspection violent institution, reminiscent of a modern version of the ancient Jinyiwei.

"Turns out, the end of the universe must be at work!"

He entered the house, taking out the Fourth Level Energy Liquid preserved in a sealed iron can.

Despite the bitch liking to flaunt, she’s reliable when it comes to delivering. This deserves praise!

Goodwill +0.5

Qin Shi’s emotionless heart, like one who had gutted fish at Hypermarket for ten years, slightly fluctuated.

He was about to consume the Fourth Level Energy Liquid but suddenly stopped:

"My house has no protective measures, any mistake and there’s no remedy, better ask Old Liang to supervise!"

The more Qin Shi thought about it, the more it made sense. He hurried to Sons and Daughters Ninth Middle School dormitory.

...

...

"What are you here for again?"

Old Liang sat by the flower bed, squinting, wearing a white vest, like an elderly man dozing off.

Opposite, Cheng Ze stepped on the elderly exercise space walker; his tone was flat:

"I tied up someone from the Qin Family."

"Teacher Liang, interested in collaborating with your student for a big deal?"

Old Liang tapped his fingers on his knee, raising his head, slightly opening his eyes, revealing deep feelings.

"What? Cheng Ze, planning on pulling your teacher into being a partner for kidnappings and banditry?"

Cheng Ze felt like he was being stared at by a Star Sea Giant Beast, with hairs standing on end, skin tightening, and sweat inadvertently seeping from his forehead.

"Teacher. Heng Province is about to be unsealed, why stay in a place treated like a prisoner, like a blood pack.

Before, I was too naive, thinking better things awaited outside of Old Factory Street! I was wrong, Heng Province has no hope; those pioneers’ descendants are like countless leeches sucking out every drop of marrow!"

Old Liang stopped tapping his fingers, leaned forward, and stared intently at Cheng Ze:

"Cheng Ze, why don’t you ever listen to your teacher? You hold your head too high, favoring unspecified friends.

Don’t you understand how cold and dark the Star Sea outside of Dongxia is?"

Cheng Ze seemed unsurprised by Old Liang’s response; the space walker suddenly stopped:

"I hate Old Factory Street; mud always dirties my shoes when it rains, successive dropout thugs go on to hack people, mine, sell their labor.

They find joy in it as if it’s natural! I don’t get it! Why aren’t they angry? I’m furious, Teacher.

The rage constantly gnaws at my heart, makes me want to burn the Qin Family, Urban Circle, all those elites to ashes!"

Cheng Ze lowered his head, eyes gleaming with anger.

Yet, while speaking this, his tone dimmed.

Looking at his lifelong rogue teacher, the North Street boss who had been a wild dog for life, he smiled:

"As a student, I hardly honored you. Before leaving, I left a bottle of mineral at home, near the stove.

Teacher, I’m sorry I couldn’t become your ideal student."

Cheng Ze jumped off the space walker, turned to light a cigarette, only to spot a short sleeve-clad youth stepping into the cool breeze not far away.

"So nice."

...

...

"Teacher Liang, what brings Brother Ze here?"

Qin Shi ran to the flower bed, obediently handed over cigarettes and bottled water.

"Quit smoking."

Old Liang waved, refusing the box of Hanhua cigarettes he usually liked, smiling:

"He’s inviting your master to a big gig, breaking into the Urban Circle, charging the Central City, and taking the Governor’s seat..."

Qin Shi didn’t take it seriously, it’s no longer the ancient era of feudal kings and local warlords.

This era, rebellion isn’t feared of Martial Gods descending from the sky.

Behind them, warships like clouds, Divine Machines like rain, they could shatter stars right then!

"Teacher Liang, I got a bottle of Fourth Level Energy Liquid."

Qin Shi offered it like a treasure, presenting it to Old Liang:

"This thing doesn’t have usage instructions, please teach me."

Old Liang weighed the cool Fourth Level Energy Liquid, eyes astonished.

Then seriously said:

"You became a gold digger for that female teacher in the Urban Circle? Qin Shi, soft meals are tasty, but being a spoiled child-in-law is tough. Wealthy families’ meals are hard to hold!"

What’s Old Liang thinking?

Talking as if he’s a experienced one?

With his looks, he couldn’t have been much handsome when young either!

Qin Shi’s mouth twitched:

"Teacher Liang, can you be serious!"

Old Liang’s laughter subsided, face turning stern:

"There are many ways to use Energy Liquid. Direct injection, oral intake, or bathing. Even some unconventional poor folks, to improve absorption, choose rectal administration.

Rectal absorption’s peak concentration is nearly double that of oral intake, and avoids stomach acid and liver first-pass effects, significantly enhancing bioavailability.

Qin Shi, do you want to consider it?"
