In the afternoon, the sun was particularly bright.
A fashionable and light "Blue Bird" shuttle slowly floated on the streets of Qingze Town.
Qu Xiaoqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was looking at the scenery outside the window. It had been half a year since she became an advanced origin ability user. She was about to become a true origin ability warrior.
According to the empire's evaluation standards, she had already constructed four and a half origin points in her body. Her physical fitness was B-grade level 1, and her origin ability index was 2932 points. She had the cultivation technique "Tenacious Nirvana Technique", "Nine Styles of Swallow Attack", "Heavenly Star Explosion", and "Cloud Steps".
No matter which city in the empire she was in, she would be regarded as a proud daughter of heaven because she was only 21 years old this year. This age was enough to show her future potential.
However, her origin ability index of 2932 points was only 68 points away from the 3000 points mark. She was stuck at the advanced origin ability user level and couldn't break through for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, origin ability users had three ways to break through. First, they could take drugs to enhance their perception and absorption ability. Second, they could repeatedly consolidate their origin points to achieve the effect of strengthening. Third, they could cultivate martial arts to enhance their physical fitness.
It was said that there were a thousand ways to achieve the same goal. The ultimate goal was to better absorb more origin ability energy. However, Qu Xiaoqing felt that she had reached her limit with the first two methods. Therefore, she had been repeatedly cultivating martial arts recently, but the progress was quite slow, which made her very anxious.
Seeing her thoughtful expression, the female driver in the driver's seat couldn't help but say, "Miss, don't think too much. Your achievements are incomparable to many of your peers. Instead of being anxious, it's better to let nature take its course. When I was your age, I wasn't even an origin ability user."
The driver was a subordinate of the Qu family for many years. Qu Xiaoqing couldn't help but smile and say, "Sister Zhong, you don't have to comfort me. I know the current situation. The school's exam seems to be half a year away, but in fact, there isn't much time left for me. If I don't pass the exam, then I will lose too much face …"
As she spoke, her smile suddenly froze. "Sister Zhong, please stop the car."
Sister Zhong was puzzled, but she still did as she was told. Following Qu Xiaoqing's gaze, she also saw: Outside the gate of Qingze Park, a young man in tattered clothes was curled up on a bench. He seemed to be sleeping soundly.
His clothes were tattered to begin with, and at this moment, the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves. There was not a single part of the young man's body that was intact.
Qu Xiaoqing stared at Ding Meng, who was sitting on the bench. She seemed to be in a trance.
Sister Zhong turned on her wristwatch and scanned the bench from a distance. Soon, Ding Meng's information was reflected on the screen.
"Miss, he's a galactic refugee."
Sister Zhong turned her head and explained with a tone full of sympathy, "His residence is in the Qingxi countryside. He might have come to Verdant Tarn Town to make a living. Without a place to stay, he can only sleep in the park."
Qu Xiaoqing nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement. However, at this moment, her thoughts were even more complicated. This galactic refugee, who was dressed shabbily and had difficulty making a living and did not even have a place to stay, was actually not far from her in terms of martial arts. It could be seen how hard he worked under such difficult conditions. She had a good cultivation environment, but she had been stagnant. What was there to be proud of?
Sister Zhong's expression suddenly changed. "Miss, you have to be careful. I feel a slight fluctuation of origin energy on his body."
"Huh?" Qu Xiaoqing also showed a surprised expression. "He's also an origin ability user?"
She was not surprised that Ding Meng was an origin ability user, but that there was actually an origin ability user who went to the martial arts hall to be a sparring partner. Moreover, it was such a young sparring partner. This was simply a waste of one's talent and talent.
Not to mention the distance, just in the area of Autumn Tarn City, if an ordinary person became an origin ability user, at least the major academies would compete for them. Those with a little talent would definitely focus on training. Once they were promoted to a source strength warrior, their future would definitely be bright. How could there be a reason to not cultivate and run to be a sparring partner?
Of course, it did not exclude some origin ability users from poor families. Because of the huge expenses needed to make a living and cultivate, they had no choice but to do other side jobs.
Sister Zhong sighed again. "It's a pity that the fluctuation on his body is very weak. Maybe his talent is not good."
She had made the same mistake as the officer of the patrol fleet, but this time it was not Little Rascal's shielding function, but Ding Meng himself who was controlling it.
It was reasonable to say that with Ding Meng's level and strength, he should not be able to completely control the origin energy in his body. It was just that his escape from Heijin Base had been too dangerous. Most of the time, his goal was to preserve his life. Thus, his cultivation was focused on "strengthening", and his progress in "constructing the origin" was relatively slow.
This created a unique situation. Ding Meng's foundation was particularly solid. Although there were only three origins, these three had basically reached the realm of being able to freely control them. If there was a flaw, it would only be perceived by people with higher strength or a higher level. However, even if they perceived it, it would cause other people's judgment to be biased.
Qu Xiaoqing closed the window. "Let's go."
Sister Zhong asked, "Miss, where are we going now?"
Qu Xiaoqing said, "To the Vast Martial Arts Hall."
Almost an hour after the Bluebird shuttle left, Ding Meng woke up from the bench.
He stretched in satisfaction and greedily inhaled a few breaths of fresh air. He felt very refreshed.
After a night of cultivation, Ding Meng was already halfway done with the construction of the fourth origin. To be precise, he had already constructed three-fifths of the origin. As the completion rate of the origin increased, Ding Meng could feel that the first three origin points were also growing stronger. The Origin Energy flow was also becoming faster and smoother.
Obviously, the Diamond Star Technique didn't simply increase the number of origin points to stack one's strength. Every origin point had an effect of one plus one greater than two. Ding Meng was looking forward to the appearance of the fourth origin point. What kind of qualitative change would happen?
Now, as long as he had enough nutrition, the formation of the fourth origin would be just around the corner.
However, when it came to money, it was a bit of a headache. It was easy for others to spend money but difficult to earn money. It was easier for him to earn money but easier for him to spend money. It was better for him to go to the martial arts hall. In any case, he would have a job as a sparring partner. He would see how long Miss Qu would train today. The longer she trained, the more money he would get.
When Ding Meng arrived at the martial arts hall, Hu Qi and Du Yue were like ants on a hot pan.
"Brother Ding, why are you only here now?
It's almost two o 'clock in the afternoon. "Hu Qi looked very anxious.
Ding Meng was a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, I just woke up."
"You really can sleep."
Hu Qi rubbed his hands anxiously. "Miss Qu arrived a long time ago. She didn't want any of the other sparring partners we arranged. She specifically said that she wants you to practice with her. Hurry up."
Ding Meng immediately ran to the staff area to change his clothes. "Ask Miss Qu to wait for a moment. I'll be there soon."
