After returning to Yangzhou from the Dojo of Limits headquarters in Jiangnan Base City, Qin Hao went straight home to share the news of his joining the Dojo of Limits with his family, and began preparing for the move.
He had lived in this small home for eighteen years, and it was hard to leave, but wasn't becoming a warrior precisely for the sake of changing his family's circumstances?
The next day, Qin Hao's family's move stirred up the surrounding neighbors.
"I heard the Qin Family boy became a warrior and is moving to Mingyue Community."
"The Qin Family has finally made it; he joined the Dojo of Limits at 18."
...
Qin Hao didn't pay attention to the discussions around him.
Helping the hired moving company load the items they planned to take, he then directly brought his parents and sister to Mingyue Community.
"Stop! This is the Dojo of Limits Mingyue Community; outsiders are forbidden!"
"I am Qin Hao, a newly joined warrior of the Dojo."
Saying this, Qin Hao handed over his identification.
After Qin Hao signed the contract, his status as a Dojo of Limits warrior was already marked on the Dojo's internal network.
"You are Qin Hao! Welcome to the Dojo of Limits.
We will take over the next steps.
Your villa is at number 198, and I will take you there now."
The security of Mingyue Community was handled by the Dojo of Limits' own warrior team.
Led by the person in charge, Qin Hao's family quickly arrived in front of a villa.
"This villa has a usable area of over 500 square meters.
Besides living space, it also includes an independent training room."
Qin Hao listened to the introduction while surveying the villa.
As expected of a residence built by the Dojo of Limits for warriors, both the environment and the building quality standards of the villa were very high.
"Wow, it's so big!" Qin Ying entered the villa and immediately ran inside with her short legs, beginning to cheer.
After moving into the Dojo of Limits Mingyue Community, Qin Hao rested at home for two days before entering a state of cultivation.
As for the upcoming college entrance examination, it was no longer relevant to him; he did not participate.
He only visited Luo Feng in the hospital after hearing that he had fainted during the last exam.
Luo Feng fainting also meant that the plot of Swallowed Star had officially begun, and he didn't have much time left.
The first opportunity he needed to seize, the Universe Genius Battle, was only a little over a decade away.
He needed to break through Planetary Level and Astral Rank, and also master the power of laws.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao became even more frenzied in his training.
In the training room, Qin Hao wore specialized weighted gear, which was soaked with sweat.
However, Qin Hao's movements showed no sign of stopping; every punch he threw was extremely steady.
What Qin Hao was currently practicing was not the basic cultivation methods previously provided by the Dojo, but a series of Inner Force techniques like Baguazhang, Taijiquan, and Wing Chun.
Although these martial arts are not widely spread now, and not many people practice them, most people practice the basic cultivation methods compiled by various Dojos.
After becoming warriors, they directly specialize in new-era martial arts like Ninefold Thunderblade and World Extermination.
However, Qin Hao knew in his heart that whether it was Thunder God's Ninefold Thunderblade or Hong's World Extermination, the force exertion techniques were all derived from ancient boxing and Inner Force.
Simply learning Ninefold Thunderblade or World Extermination could lead to rapid improvement, but it would be difficult to surpass.
Qin Hao wanted to surpass, so he had to start from the beginning.
Moreover, Qin Hao felt that these ancient boxing and Inner Force techniques were not that simple.
The original work only mentioned the force exertion method of 'Dark Force', but whether in Inner Force or traditional Chinese martial arts, beyond 'Dark Force' there are also realms like 'Transforming Force', 'Dan Force', and 'Seeing God'.
"Ha!" With a punch, force permeated his body, and Qin Hao felt a wave of exhilaration.
The 'Hum' and 'Ha' sounds, as techniques for training force in Inner Force cultivation, Qin Hao had already gained some insight into them after a week of practice.
In the recent punch, Qin Hao also completed the processes of 'listening force' and 'integrated force'; next was the comprehension of Obvious Force and Dark Force.
Obvious Force is force that is clearly visible, whose application can be seen from the outside.
Dark Force is hidden force, which can only be perceived through touch during contact.
Dark Force is mentioned in many places in the world of Swallowed Star, but Obvious Force is rarely mentioned.
It's as if they skipped all the preceding processes and jumped directly to Dark Force.
"Perhaps this is why Thunder God and Hong made mistakes in their force exertion," Qin Hao thought as he began a new round of cultivation.
Although both Hong and Thunder God had Eastern bloodlines, from the global situation in Swallowed Star, their sense of belonging was quite limited.
So, how much would they understand about the cultivation of Obvious Force and Dark Force?
Furthermore, even the current China has very limited understanding of force cultivation.
The Great Nirvana was like a great catastrophe, causing too many inheritances to disappear.
Qin Hao, however, was different.
His understanding of Swallowed Star and the countless cultivation methods he had seen in his previous life allowed his thinking to be unrestricted, enabling him to constantly try and explore.
Even if he made any mistakes, with the meteor tear, there would be no danger.
Time passed very quickly during cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and it was July, with only one month remaining until the warrior practical assessment.
Qin Hao had also gradually stepped into the threshold of Obvious Force, and his control over strength had advanced to a new level.
His strength increased by 1500 kg within a month, his speed reached 135m/s, his movement technique broke through to 'Subtle', and his blade technique also improved.
His comprehension of force could also be applied to his blade technique; every swing of his blade was incredibly powerful.
"Gege, come out, come out!" Just as he finished his training that day, Qin Ying's voice came from outside the training room.
Qin Ying rarely disturbed Qin Hao's training; after being scolded a few times by her parents when she first came, she stopped coming and would wait until Qin Hao finished his training.
This time, she actually came directly to find him.
"What's wrong? Aren't you afraid Mom and Dad will spank your little bottom?" He said, picking up Qin Ying directly and gently patting her.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ying quickly covered her bottom, her eyes involuntarily scanning around.
Seeing no sign of her parents, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, stinky Gege!" Qin Ying said, hitting Qin Hao.
"Tell me, why did you come to find me?" Qin Hao knew that Qin Ying usually wouldn't come looking for him when he was training, so something must have happened for her to run over now.
"Luo Feng Gege, Luo Feng Gege, come, come, come!" Qin Ying called out Luo Feng's name, and Qin Hao understood.
It must be that Luo Feng had passed the Quasi-warrior assessment and had already moved to Mingyue Community.
According to the original plot, Luo Feng's home should be right next to his own.
Thinking this, Qin Hao carried Qin Ying out the door and walked towards the villa next door.
Stepping out, he happened to see Luo Feng's family.
"Haozi, I didn't expect us to be neighbors now!" Luo Feng said excitedly after seeing Qin Hao.
Qin Hao had become a Quasi-warrior, and he had even visited Luo Feng after his college entrance examination.
After joining the Dojo of Limits, he also knew that Qin Hao had already joined the Dojo of Limits.
"Qin Hao, come sit inside," Luo Feng's parents warmly invited as Qin Hao conversed with Luo Feng.
"No, you've just moved in and are probably quite busy.
We're neighbors now, so we can visit often in the future," Qin Hao replied.
After chatting with Luo Feng for a while longer, Qin Hao took Qin Ying directly home.
The urgency of time made him immerse himself in cultivation once again.
