I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"Then I'll do a demonstration for you," Ning Yuantai said happily.

He gestured to someone nearby, and immediately a staff member came over holding a pair of shorts.

Ning Yuantai first stripped off all his clothes, revealing a well-built physique, then put on the shorts, opened the door of the 'Physical Power Testing Machine,' which looked like a transparent shower stall, and stepped inside. He then pressed a few buttons on the control panel, stood in the middle, and spread his arms.

A few seconds later, a ring of pale blue light slowly rose from the bottom up, scanning his entire body.

Suddenly, dozens of soft white tubes extended from inside the testing machine, each tube's tip fitted with something like electrode patches, which attached to various parts of Ning Yuantai's head, limbs, and torso.

While he was testing, Xue Jing watched and chatted with Yin Muhu beside him.

"By the way, Shady Girl, your grandmaster, one of the 'Trio of Jade City,' Vajra Zhou, where is he now?"

Xue Jing asked casually.

His master, Li Qi, had been crippled by an attack and spent half his life nursing the True Dragon within him, which was also killed, forcing him to leave the Inner Ring and barely survive in Qingcheng of the Outer Ring.

The other two of the Trio of Jade City, Vajra Zhou and Asura Chen, should still be in the Inner Ring. Xue Jing was quite keen to meet them, if possible.

When Yin Muhu heard Xue Jing mention her grandmaster, she pursed her lips, showing a bit of disdain as she said:

"The last time I heard news of my grandmaster was half a year ago. My master mentioned that he seemed to have gone to Menghu Palace in the Seventh Metropolitan Circle to prepare for the battle, trying to compete for the 'Overlord' title."

"But the Overlord Battle ended three months ago, and this term's Overlord is still that 'White Emperor' Lu Shenliu. He has already clinched the title four times and if he wins again this year, he'll earn the Eternal Title. I don't know if my grandmaster didn't participate or was eliminated..."

Xue Jing's eyes flashed, "He went to compete in the title battle?"

The seven major titles of Zhuxia, according to tradition, are held at different places.

Martial Saint Battle at Jade Dragon Summit, Army Master Battle at Sky Mirror Lake, Flying General Battle at Pangu Mountain, Heavenly Position Battle in Zizhu Forest, Overlord Battle at Menghu Palace, True Dragon Battle on Thousand Year Island.

The 'Tenth Dan' however, being a title from the new era of martial arts grading system, does not have a fixed location.

This is also one of the reasons why the 'Tenth Dan' is not considered very prestigious; it lacks ancient history.

Yin Muhu folded her arms, shook her head, and said, "I don't know where that old man got his confidence from. Lu Shenliu's 'White Emperor Sword' is known as the 'Most Ferocious in the Human World,' and among the current title-holders of the seven major titles, he is also one of the highest ranked, already recognized as a sure winner of the Eternal Title."

"If my grandmaster had set his sights on the 'Tenth Dan,' maybe he would have stood a chance, but the Overlord... I really don't know what he was thinking."

Xue Jing said, "Senior Zhou must have his own considerations."

He sighed inwardly. The 'Trio of Jade City,' once merely young masters filled with promise, decades have passed, and now Vajra Zhou had dared to set his sights on the seven major titles... Whether he could achieve it or not, at least he had the ambition.

He wondered what his master Li Qi would think upon hearing this news.

As they chatted, Ning Yuantai also finished his testing and walked out of the testing machine.

Wearing only the shorts, bare-chested, he said, "3.9 level... I've improved a bit since last month, sigh, still just shy of breaking 4."

Xue Jing glanced at him and asked, "Is the calculation method for Physical Power Level the same as the danger level?"

Ning Yuantai nodded and said, "Yes, by default, a healthy adult male who hasn't undergone special training has a Physical Power Level around 1 to 1.1."

"The scale is similar to the Richter magnitude scale for earthquakes. Each 0.1 level increase corresponds to an overall 1.414 times increase in combined physical strength, an increase of 1 level is 32 times, 2 levels are 1000 times..."

"Of course, that's combining overall strength, not just physical strength... otherwise, a level 4 Physical Power Level would be over thirty thousand times that of level 1, and I'd be a Kryptonian Superman by now," Ning Yuantai spread his hands.

Xue Jing nodded, "I see."

He then turned to Yin Muhu and said, "Shady Girl, why don't you give it a try?"

Yin Muhu blinked, pointed at herself, and said, "Me?"

"Understanding your current exact strength completely, I think it's beneficial. Give it a try," Xue Jing said with a smile.

Yin Muhu nodded and said, "If Xue says so."

Seeing this, Ning Yuantai asked the staff to fetch the largest size crop top and the largest shorts for Yin Muhu, and had her go to the changing room to put them on.

When she came back, her bare muscles now visible, Ning Yuantai said with a hint of envy, "Yin, you have a great figure."

Yin Muhu, with her sharply contoured face, showed a proud expression, slapped her right bicep with her left hand, and said, "Not bad, right?"

After she entered the testing machine, Ning Yuantai outside guided her on how to operate it.

"Press the red button there, select the aspects you want to test... yes, just like that, now just follow the voice commands..."

Soon, Yin Muhu also completed her testing, stepping out of the machine.

"4.3 level."

Ning Yuantai scratched his head, feeling a bit disheartened, "We're about the same age, and I even practice the more advantageous Neo Martial Arts, and yet my physical level is so much lower..."

"Is this really the difference in talent?"

Yin Muhu said meaningfully, "You might be lamenting too early about this..."
