What Ethan saw was not a 3 cm marble-sized core, but a massive 14 cm core.
"When did this happen?"
"Didn’t the teacher say only a major breakthrough could make the core bigger? But... it seems that’s not the case for ."
Before unlocking his gene, his core was 3 cm. After unlocking, it doubled to 6 cm. Then, each minor breakthrough gave him 1 cm more, making it a whopping 14 cm in total.
Even the core of a Martial Grandmaster is only 8 cm, and a King’s is 16 cm.
But here he was—Ethan—already at 14 cm, and he was just a Level 9 Warrior.
Even if he told others, no one would believe him.
"Hah... what an anomaly."
But the good thing was—the anomaly is .
Ethan laughed in his heart.
Then he went to sleep.

When Ethan woke up, it was 10 in the morning.
He first checked his panel:
[Master: Ethan Hunt
Physique: 30.8
Spirit: 30.8]
He had been busy the past few days, so he hadn’t had ti to reflect on his spirit value. But now, he realized—he could pick up 30 tons of weight using just his spirit!
Then he tried manipulating multiple objects. He could only control 10 at a ti.
He spread his ntal force around, trying to sense his surroundings.
He could clearly sense a radius of 500 ters—a 1 km-wide domain!
Within this range, anything under 30 tons of weight was within his control.Moreover he could sense everything within his ntal domain.
Ethan freshened up and went down for breakfast. His parents had already left for the office, but breakfast was prepared with a sweet note from his mother. He loved reading her notes—always filled with warmth and care.
He ate voraciously. His appetite had grown significantly after becoming a warrior.
Then Ethan began thinking: "What should I do today?"
He didn’t plan to break through again so soon.
So maybe... he should find a skill to hone?
He had heard that many techniques could multiply the force of one’s attacks. That was practically magic! And Ethan deeply longed for such a skill.
But those were only available to official Martial Warriors.
So—should he go to the Alliance Hall and get his identity token?
His hand rested on his chin.
"Maybe I should just say I broke through to Level 1... so it won’t cause a panic."
But even then, he couldn’t fully grasp the situation.
A quasi-warrior becoming a full warrior in one day?
That was literally unheard of in history.
Ethan got ready and took his rcedes Vision XX to the Alliance Hall.

He walked up to the receptionist and said, "Hello, I’m Ethan Hunt. May I know where Mr. Richard is?"
The receptionist looked up and saw a 1.9-ter-tall, handso young man dressed in rich attire standing in front of her.
She wasn’t a martial artist—just a normal girl. So she was stunned for a mont.
"This guy is so handso..."
Last night, after Ethan’s body purification during his breakthrough, he had beco even more attractive. Not every martial artist got to experience such a transformation.
The girl asked with a smile, "What do you want from Mr. Richard, if I may ask?"
Ethan replied casually, "Oh, he was the instructor of our batch during the awakening process. Now that I’ve beco a warrior, I’d like to ask Mr. Richard to help get my identity."
The girl nodded. "Oh, so that’s how it is... You’ve beco a warrior..."
But then sothing clicked in her mind. She suddenly looked at Ethan, her eyes wide in disbelief.
"Wait... Mr. Richard was your instructor? Didn’t he only instruct a batch yesterday? And I don’t rember him taking any batch for the past year or two. Are you saying you awakened one or two years ago? But you’re so young—you must’ve awakened recently, like within a month or two."
Ethan was surprised by how sharp this girl was. He was genuinely impressed.
He nodded. "Yes, I was in the batch yesterday."
It was like a nuclear bomb exploded in the girl’s mind.
Her voice trembled, "A-Are you telling the truth? You... beca a warrior in a day?"
Ethan was puzzled by the fuss.
"There should be many geniuses in the super cities who’ve done this, right?"
Still, he confird, "Yes."
The girl imdiately called Richard.
"Sir! There’s a person nad Ethan Hunt. He says he awakened yesterday under your supervision and has already beco a warrior. He’s here for registration."
Her voice was still shaking.
On the other side of the call, Richard was sipping tea.
When he heard the words, the cup slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor.
His eyes bulged. "What did you say? Did you just say Ethan beca a warrior and ca to report!?"
The girl shakily confird.
Richard shot up and ran out of his office like a madman.
His mind buzzed with disbelief. He had to see it with his own eyes.
---
When he reached the hall, he saw Ethan casually sitting on a waiting sofa, playing on his phone.
The receptionist was standing nearby, looking completely dazed.
Richard walked up to Ethan. "Hey, Ethan. This girl just said you’ve beco a martial warrior and ca to register?"
Ethan looked up from his phone. When he saw Richard, he stood up and said, "Yes, Instructor Richard. I was lucky enough to grasp the breathing technique last night and accidentally broke through."
Richard’s brain went blank.
"Is this even human speech?! Accidental breakthrough? Grasped three-elental breathing technique? What are you saying?? Are you speaking alien language??"
After a few monts, Richard managed to compose himself.
"Um, Ethan, if you don’t mind... Could you co with to verify this result? Maybe there’s so misunderstanding..."
Ethan understood Richard’s shock, so he obliged.
He stood in front of a punching machine—and punched.
> 2000 kg
Richard already believed him deep down...
But seeing the number hit him like reality itself.
Still, he maintained his composure.
Next was the speed tester.
A Level 1 Martial Warrior typically had a speed of 35 m/s.
Ethan ran.
> 38 m/s
There was no denying it now. Ethan had really broken through.
But Richard knew—he couldn’t handle this kind of genius alone.
He imdiately made a call.
---
In Super City No. 1, an old man in his 50s or 60s stood up the mont he heard the report.
He was Charles Denver, a Martial King and direct supervisor of base cities 1 through 5.
When he heard soone in Base City 5 had broken through to Martial Warrior just a day after awakening—it blew his mind.
Even the Alliance President himself, the legendary "Dragon," hadn’t achieved that feat.
Charles instructed Richard to treat Ethan with the highest level of hospitality. He would arrive in 5 hours—and imdiately booked a fighter plane for travel.
---
anwhile, in Base City 5, Ethan looked suspiciously at Richard.
"Why is this guy acting so weird? Don’t tell ... is he a pervert?"
Ethan couldn’t think any further.
Seeing Ethan’s discomfort, Richard snapped back to his senses. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Umm... Ethan—no, Mr. Ethan... Our supervisor is coming to the Base City in 5 hours. He asked to et you personally. What do you think?"
Ethan was stunned.
A supervisor-level figure? That ant at least a Martial Grandmaster—possibly a King!
Such a person wanted to et him?
He imdiately agreed. No one dared to act unscrupulously in the Alliance Hall, especially since the President was "Dragon" himself.
Ethan then asked if he could get his identity token now and browse the Warrior Website.
Richard grinned from ear to ear. "Of course, Mr. Ethan! I’ll bring your token right away. Please wait a mont."
Ethan waited on the sofa.
Twenty minutes later, Richard returned with a black card—Ethan’s official Martial Warrior identity token.
Ethan opened the microcomputer on his wrist and logged into the Martial Alliance website.
Everything was there: a warrior forum, online marketplace, and more.
He was especially eager to explore the skill techniques—particularly sword techniques.
He selected the section of special techniques for above martial warrior realm. As there was a basic technique section also which could be learned by quasi warriors too.
1. Dinsion Cleaving – 100 billion Alliance Coins
2. Annihilation – 100 billion
3. ...
...
...
50. Light Sword Technique – 100 million
There were fifty sword skills listed.
The cheapest one? 100 million.
Ethan stared at the prices in a daze.
"100 billion? What the heck?! Even my family, though well-off, has a total net worth under 100 million—and that includes investnts, stakes, house, land, liquid money. And the cheapest technique here is 100 million? How am I supposed to buy this??"
He slumped.
So. Depressed.
