…

In another room next to Theo’s room, Qin Beihe was meditating with a book opened in front of her. The energy around her was flickering as if reacting to her comprehension.

"You have a talent, but you always think too much. It’s fine to think, but when you overthink everything, there will be a lot of gaps in your movement. Sometimes, you have to follow your instinct and do whatever you need to do."

Qin Beihe spread her arms as she listened to the voice in her head. Both arms rotated in a clockwise direction until the right arm was above her head and the left arm was on the opposite side.

Then they moved toward each other until the palms of both hands slid on each other. The energy started to swirl violently until Qin Beihe ended her action with a simple clap.

*Pak!*

The energy dispersed into the surrounding area, causing the entire room to vibrate.

"Huu…" Qin Beihe let out a long breath. "I’ve broken through just from learning this martial art. This is incredible."

Because she had a limited amount of time to stay here, she continued reading the book to gain a better understanding of the martial arts.

In another room not far from this one was yet another acquaintance of Theo. Yes, it was Yue Yi.

Yue Yi was actually transported not far from the palace. So, she was one of the first few people to enter this place.

Unlike Qin Beihe, she received pills and items as her reward. She had been devouring the pills to boost her cultivation a lot more. When she came to this place, she was only a 5-Star Foundation Establishment Expert. But after a few hours, she had broken through once. If this pace continued, it wouldn’t be weird for her to become an 8-Star if not a 9-Star in the next few days.

If she became stronger, she would definitely have the strength to actually help Theo.

There were a lot more people who had entered the palace. They had their own reward depending on the result they produced when entering the Fist Emperor’s tomb.

And the one that stood out the most was actually a young man in his late twenties. If Theo, Qin Beihe, and Yue Yi’s room were one floor above most people, this young man would get the third floor for himself.

He was moving his body according to the instruction manual he received.

Despite his movement being slow, the air and the energy around him started to shake. When he actually threw his fist, the air flowed according to his movement and increased its ferocity, releasing a bit of impact when hitting the wall.

Fist Emperor Luo Tian appeared in the room with a smile on his face. "How is the progress?"

"I haven’t achieved small success, but I think I have grasped the basics of the martial arts."

"This is the foundation of my martial arts if you want to become strong."

"I understand, Master." The young man clasped his hands politely.

Luo Tian smiled. "In that case, you can continue practicing here for another two days. In the last day, I want to show you something and introduce you to someone."

"Yes."

The young man didn’t know who he wanted to introduce, but the person the Fist Emperor wanted to introduce shouldn’t be so simple. There might even be a chance that he would meet a famous younger generation that managed to catch the attention of the Fist Emperor.

…

While comprehending his new power, Theo couldn’t help but say, "This is going to be hard, but it’s interesting."

"What’s wrong, Dad?" Mia asked while lowering her stance.

"Why don’t you hit me with that technique?" Theo smiled, implying that it would be faster to show it to her.

"In that case, I won’t hold back." Mia looked excited as she gathered her energy into her fist. She punched forward, releasing all the energy.

Theo caught her tiny fist with his palm. Mia wanted to disperse the energy in a way that wouldn’t harm Theo, but to her surprise, even before she channeled the energy that way, the energy had completely dispersed. Even her palm looked a bit distorted from her point of view.

"Eh?" Mia hurriedly retracted her fist before checking if her hand had deformed or not.

"Don’t worry. It’s harmless."

"What is that, Dad?" Mia blinked her big eyes a few times. "My energy is actually dispersing faster than my control."

"It’s the space element. I am using the power to expand the space around my palm, meaning that everything will disperse outwardly like your energy. What you see is just a little bit of distortion from using my power, but it doesn’t really cause any harm unless you’re exposed for a long time."

"I see. But if you can disperse it, you can gather it, right?"

"Of course. There are also several things I want to test." Theo smiled.

"Like teleportation? Will you have teleportation abilities, Dad? With this, you can bypass everything."

"Teleportation is a bit hard. First of all, you need the same level of energy from one place to another. If you don’t, you need to supply it with your own. This way, there won’t be any energy flowing in and out of the portal. There are also a few requirements.

"I feel like the original power in our world is a bit too simple. It is probably because the world is doing most of the work, but if I can fix this problem, I can actually create a gate that connects two spaces or teleport directly."

"Then, can you create an inventory?"

"Probably. But I am going to study the principle of this space ring and mix it with my own understanding to create the space. It will take some time as well, but it might be possible to create an independent space within myself. It’s like another realm, but smaller."

"We can bring these guys with us then." Mia made a big smile while pointing at the two sleeping horses.

"Yeah." Theo nodded. "There are a lot of variations I can do with spaces. In fact, I can even combine my existing technique with this new power like the expanding and shrinking environment. If I add this power, I can actually produce anything I want such as new terrain or even a hill during the expansion."

"It’s going to be amazing if you steal a mountain or two and use it as an ultimate move. Even if they are strong, can they actually stop a mountain? Even if they destroy it, it will still crush everything in its surroundings." Mia really wanted a new power, different from her original power. However, she knew that she should work harder instead of taking it for granted.

"We’ll see about it." Theo didn’t deny the possibility, even though it would definitely take a lot of energy to do it. And it was impossible for the current him.

He needed to deepen his understanding of space. In his original world, he was friends with someone at the pinnacle of the space element. In fact, Theo’s brother also had a space element.

In addition to his original understanding of space related to illusion and reality, his overall understanding was extremely high.

That was why Theo felt that the Space Dao indeed suited him. However, he still wanted to pursue a new power. Now that he had gained a power that could branch out not only related to his illusion but also other things, he wanted to test all these potentials.

In fact, his spirit was similar. If he used the gravity staff, how much of this power could he harness? Gravity itself was an amazing power from physics and if he added magical things and fantasy about this power, he might discover a new thing. The unbreakable wires and the soul scythe were the same.

Theo couldn’t help but look up, saying, "I know that you’re watching. I assume that we’ll be fighting on the last day."

Luo Tian could send his voice into the room, but because of Theo’s status, he decided to go to the room personally.

"Indeed. It’s going to be on the last day. I’d like to introduce my successor as well so that there won’t be any misunderstanding between you guys."

Theo nodded with a smile. "How are you going to fight in that body? While you can exert some power with energy, it’s not going to be satisfying, right?"

"Of course. I’d ask my successor to do it. This will also be a good chance for him to learn, considering that your body only has that amount of energy. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"I will do my best not to hurt that body." Theo nodded.

"Thank you very much."

"By the way, do you have some normal martial arts that you don’t need anymore?" Theo asked.

"I do have them, why do you ask?"

"I’m thinking about learning them. It’s not that I’m going to utilize the martial arts, I’m just going to use them as references, especially for my own version of Dantian."

"Ah. If that’s what you want, I can give it to you. It’s not like my successor is going to need it. However, I’d like to ask you to be patient until the last day. I need to give some to other participants, so I might not have anything to give the incoming participants if I give all the books to you now."

"Yeah. I don’t really mind."

"Then, please consider this as a payment of the favor." Luo Tian nodded and politely clasped his hands. "We shall meet again in two days."

Theo nodded with a serious expression. This would also be a good opportunity for Mia to learn from his fighting style since they were quite similar.

But before that, he had one more important thing to do.

"This is just a test, but in the next two days, there shouldn’t be anything exciting, at least in this room. Hence, I predict that the author is going to speed things up by using a time skip or focusing on other people to create a transition in the scene.

"Previously, the time skip was successful, but it was because the time skip was quite long. On the other hand, I’m quite curious about the shorter time skip like this. So, if you don’t mind, please tell me if the experiment succeeded or not.

"With that out of the way…" Theo looked at the comments. "Yeah. I’m talking about if I can’t really come to your world, it means that the author will end up projecting himself in the story. Or he might even project all of you as well. But if we truly can meet in one way or another, I will take up that offer." Theo winked playfully.
