Chapter 11: Reached Perfection, Now I’m here For More

"By the way, do you know what spiritualist even means?"

Morgan asked.

Levi nodded and said.

"I know a few things about them, but not a lot. I guess this year’s curriculum will include that."

Morgan patted him on the shoulder.

"So, I don’t need to explain why I am so excited, right?"

Sera rolled her eyes and said.

"That being said, your spiritual energy level must be due to your physique, right? Especially since it allows you to enter enlightenment?"

"But no matter what, you must not explain this to others, especially the unique powers of your physique."

Levi nodded and asked.

"Mom, is there a way to measure my spiritual energy level?"

Sera opened her phone and showed the picture of a large building. Levi looked at the picture and asked.

"Isn’t that Universal Soul Arena Headquarters? Do I need to go there to measure my spiritual energy level?"

Sera shook her head and explained.

"Yes and No! You just need to get a virtual pod from this. Unfortunately, a single virtual pod costs a million federal dollars."

"So, it’s best for you to go there and register your spiritual energy level. Then, they will give you documents for a loan."

"Since you are not eighteen, you still need our letter of approval alongside our IDs. We will prepare that for you."

"With your spiritual energy talent, you will get the lowest interest rate for your loan. More importantly, you can pay off your loans by entering higher ranks in the Virtual Battlefield Arena."

"Considering there is a chance that your spiritual energy might increase with your enlightenment, it’s best to wait until your blood energy level reaches 9.9"

Hearing that, Levi shrugged his shoulders.

"Then, I don’t need to worry about this for now. Reaching 9.9 will still take more than half a year unless I get lucky with my enlightenment."

Soon, father and son kept talking about the Martial Arts, especially Levi wanted to know more about the different mutated beasts, also known as monsters.

If he wanted to get more resources, he had to find more wealth.

Instead of letting his parents take this risk, why not take it himself?

After all, his goal was far beyond the Grandmaster Rank.

Monsters were beasts evolved from the animal kingdom of the past and the inbreeding of those animals with the alien races.

Humans had few concerns about that inbreeding, but animals? When they got stronger, they just pounced on the opposite gender alien.

Just as humans rallied to hunt animals, monsters also rallied to hunt aliens.

For monsters and humans, Earth was their home. They could fight each other, but to aliens, they had the same response.

’Who the fuck are you to invade my land?’

Animals already had an innate advantage with their sharp teeth, overwhelming strength, and even tough bodies.

Unlike Spirit Trees, which didn’t cause a lot of damage, animals started going haywire.

They were wreaking havoc everywhere. More importantly, their population only grew, causing more problems for humans.

Even though Earth also became larger and tougher thanks to the Genesis Energy.

Genesis Energy was the very energy that brought evolution to the world, while Cosmic Energy was the energy that could evolve all races.

But harnessing Cosmic Energy was extremely difficult. For example, one had to reach Grandmaster Rank just to use a little bit of this energy.

Even if someone reached a Martial Artist Rank, they still had to increase their blood energy through higher-intensity training.

Cosmic Energy was just an impure form of Genesis Energy.

Levi learned a lot about stated Monsters.

Although their actual name was Mutated Beast, humans also call them monsters.

Monsters had a similar ranking as humans: Beast Cub, Beast Soldier, Beast Adult, Beast Captain, Beast General, Beast Commander, and Beast Grandmaster.

If humans could use Martial Arts, only then could they possess the power to fight monsters.

Because of their immense innate strength, they possessed more power than a normal martial artist.

For example, a beast cub could exert a strength of 400 to 500 kilograms without the influence of its blood energy.

And unlike humans, their blood energy boost was equivalent to the perfection of a first-grade technique for a Beast Cub.

That meant every blood energy level would give them at least five kilograms of strength.

So, even if they didn’t practice any techniques or arts, they could still dominate humans with their raw strength.

After Levi got a proper introduction to evolved beasts, he noticed it was already time to go to school.

"Huh? Are you in such a hurry?" Sera looked surprised when she heard him say goodbye.

"Yeah! I am leaving."

Levi waved his hand.

Suddenly, Sera shouted.

"Don’t forget to ask your library for a Second Grade Martial Art for free!"

"Isn’t that just a rumor?"

"Well, just because nobody has gotten it doesn’t mean it is a rumor, right?"

Even Sera felt a bit suspicious about this claim, but nonetheless Levi agreed, closed the door, and walked out of the house.

While walking, his speed slowly increased. He wasn’t trying to run, but his speed was gradually increasing.

This almost made it look like he was sliding on the ground.

When Five Beasts Form was practiced to perfection, this was the result of that practice.

The legs combined the speed of a leopard, the agility of a snake, and the balance of a crane, allowing him to move at high speed seamlessly.

Most of the people didn’t notice anything, thinking he was just using some kind of powerful Movement Arts.

And considering high-level martial artists rarely walk around the street, nobody noticed his true achievement.

He reached the school only a few minutes slower than the car and only because he wasn’t running at his full speed.

After reaching school, he visited the school library. He directly went to the library attendant and asked.

"Hello! I am a second-year student of the Martial Arts Class. I heard you can get a Grade Two Martial Art after practicing a certain Martial Art to Perfection for free."

"Is that true?"

Levi wasn’t sure if this was a rumor since nobody had ever been able to practice a martial art to perfection within three years.

Most of the students who came from his academy were ordinary people. They had some talent but not enough to practice a Martial Art to perfection.

But his words stunned the library attendant.

"Wait, did you just say perfection?"

His voice was quite loud, attracting attention from a few people who had come to the library this early.

Although Levi felt a bit embarrassed by their gaze, he quickly collected his emotions and nodded.

"Yes, I have practiced Five Beasts Form to perfection. Would you like to test it?"

"Wait a minute! I will call our vice principal."

He hurriedly picked up the telephone and made a call to the vice principal’s office.

"Did that guy just say perfection?"

"I think I heard that right. He really did say perfection."

"Holy cow! How can someone from our academy reach perfection in just a year?"

"Maybe he is just bragging."

When one of them said that, the others looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot monkey.

What kind of idiot would lie about something like this?

Especially when they knew they would be tested first.

One of the students quickly walked in front of Tyler and extended his hand.

"Hello! My name is John. I am from the third year class. Which year are you from?"

Levi shook his hand and introduced himself.

"Hello, Senior! My name is Levi. I am from the second year class."

"How did you reach perfection within just a year?"

Hearing that, John was even more surprised.

Levi embarrassedly chuckled and said.

"My blood level wasn’t increasing much for a long time, so I poured all of my attention into a Martial Art."

Hearing that, John shook his head.

"Even if you say that, reaching perfection isn’t easy. People spend decades."

"I guess I have some talent for Martial Arts."

"By the way, what’s your blood energy level?"

"It just reached six."

"Wow! That’s fast. Didn’t you say your blood energy level wasn’t increasing?"

"I used a Blood Energy Pill last night."

"Oh! Congratulations! If you are not lying, you are the first student of our academy to reach perfection within three years."

John helplessly sighed.

"This is my third year, and I only reached Minor Mastery. Even if I reach Major Mastery by the end of this year, it will not be enough."

"Senior, do you also practice Five Beasts Form?"

Levi asked.

John nodded.

"Then, you can just look at performance. Maybe you will get a lucky breakthrough."

"Hahaha! How can it be so easy?"

Levi shook his head and looked at John with a serious expression.

"If you use your blood energy to enhance your senses and carefully watch my performance, you might succeed."

Looking at those serious eyes, John felt a lot of negativity vanish from his mind.

He nodded.

"Hmm! I will try my best."

’In Martial Arts, we compete and prosper together.’
