After receiving the ssage, Lin Xinghai imdiately postponed his plans for the day. He then sent a reply to Liu Miaomiao, asking to et.
Over the past few days, Lin Xinghai had been using his free ti to tell Liu Miaomiao about matters related to Cultivation, so she would understand the need for caution when breaking her Genetic Lock.
After all, breaking a Genetic Lock could not be disturbed, or accidents were likely to happen. Therefore, it was essential to find a safe and secure place.
Ten minutes later, Lin Xinghai t Liu Miaomiao in the Lower Level District. She was wearing a pale yellow dress today, which made her look even more youthful and lively than usual.
"Have you had breakfast?" Lin Xinghai asked after they greeted each other.
"Not yet. I ca out as soon as I got your ssage." Liu Miaomiao smiled faintly, her dimples showing.
"Then let’s get a good al first and get you in the right mindset. The breakthrough later is going to be rough," Lin Xinghai said with a sigh.
The pain of the breakthrough was sothing you never wanted to recall after experiencing it once. That pain, originating from the genetic level, was truly worse than any torture.
"I’m ntally prepared. A mont of pain is better than a lifeti of suffering." The smile on Liu Miaomiao’s pretty face didn’t change, but her dark eyes were filled with seriousness.
After her experience with the Axe Gang, and after seeing all sorts of people and hearing all kinds of stories during her ti at the Governnt Hall, she had already gained a clear understanding of how cruel this post-apocalyptic world was.
Power was the root of everything.
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Lin Xinghai smiled. He then led Liu Miaomiao to the Middle Level District and chose the most famous breakfast shop there.
Lin Xinghai didn’t even look at the prices, simply ordering two of each of the shop’s specialty breakfast items.
Soon, rice noodle rolls, soup dumplings, soy milk, stead dumplings, and noodle soup were brought to their table one by one.
"This is so much! Can we even finish it all? And it’s so expensive!" Liu Miaomiao was secretly shocked. A single cup of soy milk cost 50 Points, which was ridiculously expensive.
"It’s fine. We can get the leftovers to go. Don’t worry too much about the price. Living in this era, you should enjoy the present mont," Lin Xinghai said without a hint of concern.
He was, after all, a man with 300,000 Points. As he spoke, he was calm and confident, causing a strange light to flicker in Liu Miaomiao’s beautiful eyes.
...
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the headquarters of the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps.
After learning that Liu Miaomiao was about to have her breakthrough, Fang Tianhe had also delayed his mission for the day, wanting to wait for the result.
The result he was waiting for wasn’t whether the breakthrough would be successful, but what kind of Rare Superpower she would awaken and whether she would awaken a Special Physique.
Liu Miaomiao was a genius with a Genetic Assessnt of A Level, after all. These things were certainly worth looking forward to.
"During the breakthrough, just shatter the Genetic Lock in one go. With your A Level Genetic Assessnt, it’s impossible to fail, so there’s no need for any psychological burden," Lin Xinghai said earnestly, leading Liu Miaomiao to a room on the third floor.
Liu Miaomiao nodded, walked in, and sat cross-legged on the sofa.
The door closed, and Lin Xinghai and the others waited quietly outside.
"A Level Genetic Assessnt! I really wonder what kind of Superpower she’ll awaken," Xu Haishui said, looking at the closed door with a hint of envy.
"I’m more curious about whether she’ll awaken a Special Physique," Roger chid in from the side. "An A Level Genetic Assessnt guarantees a Rare Superpower at a minimum, so there’s nothing to worry about on that front."
"I’ve looked up information on this. Even with an A Level Genetic Assessnt, there’s only a 50% chance of awakening a Special Physique, so it still cos down to luck," Fang Tianhe added.
"Then what’s the probability of awakening a Special Physique if the Genetic Assessnt is B Level?" Xu Haishui asked curiously, his gaze shifting to Lin Xinghai.
"Only a 1% chance. And Ah Xing awakened his Special Physique before even becoming one of the Optimized. That’s a natural awakening, and the probability for that is less than one in a thousand," Fang Tianhe said, unable to resist glancing at Lin Xinghai as he spoke.
Though no one said a word, the sa thought was written all over their faces: ’What ridiculous luck.’
Sothing like that would naturally make people envious and jealous.
Lin Xinghai felt wrongly accused. ’If I really had so kind of Special Physique, I’d own up to it, but the problem is, I don’t!’
Sighing internally, he sat to the side, assuming a ditative posture. He appeared to be lost in thought, but in reality, he had released his Perception Power to quietly observe Liu Miaomiao inside the room.
Judging from the aura emanating from Liu Miaomiao, she should be at a critical stage.
This was the most painful part. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, then trickled down her pale cheeks, soaking a large patch of her collar.
But Liu Miaomiao clenched her teeth and didn’t make a sound.
Fortunately, the ti it took to break the first Genetic Lock wasn’t very long. Five minutes later, her rapidly rising aura began to slow, and the pained expression on Liu Miaomiao’s face started to fade.
Another ten minutes passed, and the door opened with a CREAK.
"How did it go? Did you awaken a Special Physique?" Lin Xinghai was the first to ask the most important question.
The others also turned their gazes to Liu Miaomiao. This was the question they were most concerned about as well.
"Yes! I awakened one," Liu Miaomiao said, a brilliant smile breaking out on her face.
Before anyone could ask further, she continued, "My Special Physique should be the Wood Elent Affinity Physique."
"When I use my Wood Elent Superpower, its power is directly increased by 50%. Also, if I’m hit by a Wood Elent Superpower attack, I can weaken its power by half."
"That’s so enviable!" Xu Haishui was the first to exclaim.
If he had a Special Physique like that, the power of his Superpower would increase by 50%, and his combat strength would rise to another level.
The others didn’t say it out loud, but their thoughts were more or less the sa. Even Lin Xinghai would be lying if he said he wasn’t envious.
"What about your Superpower? What is it?" Lin Xinghai quickly changed the subject. The others perked up; compared to the unfamiliar concept of a Special Physique, a Superpower was naturally sothing that caught their attention more.
"I think it’s controlling Life Force," Liu Miaomiao said, not entirely certain herself.
"Controlling Life Force?" Lin Xinghai repeated reflexively, his voice filled with astonishnt.
In fact, it wasn’t just him. When the others heard it, their faces were also filled with disbelief.
Although they had never heard of this type of Superpower, they could tell just from the na that it was absolutely incredible.
"Yes! It’s sothing like this." Liu Miaomiao walked over to a potted orchid in the corner of the room, then made a beckoning gesture in the air with her slender hand.
Instantly, specks of green light flew out from the orchid and landed on Liu Miaomiao’s fingertips, while the orchid itself withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, everyone’s pupils contracted.

By the way, I’ll reveal a little sothing: the protagonist will awaken a Special Physique later on.
