Chapter 2: The Extent of Brain Regions

Lin Feng was slightly surprised, "What happened? Didn't you say she was your favorite?"

The gaze exchanged between them is filled with the warmth of maternal affection, and everything is understood without the need for words

Zhan Er's character is like his father's, too rigid and easily broken; while Feng Er, your character is tenacious and unyielding, setbacks are instead excellent tempering for you, stripping away the superficial, and one day you will surely shine brightly, believe in your mother

Rest assured, " Ji Ruhua seemed to have seen through Lin Feng's thoughts, and said lightly, " As long as you do not take action, no one will know what kind of mental technique you are cultivating."

My soon-to-be twelve-year-old sister has a strong desire for knowledge about this world. In three months, she will undergo genetic testing to determine whether she possesses 'innate genes' that allow her brain capacity to naturally grow by 5%. This is a necessary condition for absorbing genetic energy and becoming a 'genetic warrior'.

However, it must be said that it is an exhilarating piece of good news that my sister can become a part of it

"Very good." Ji Ruhua smiled slightly, her eyes reflecting a sense of affirmation and satisfaction. Suddenly, a thin brown booklet appeared in her hand. Lin Feng focused his gaze and reached out to take the booklet that his mother handed him, asking in confusion: "Mom, what is this?"

Hmm? Lin Feng replied

Gazing at his mother's face, Lin Feng felt an overwhelming sense of affection and longing, as if he had not seen her for a whole year

Then what happened? Lin Yuer immediately became interested

There is no place to plant, the urban area is just this big, how can we grow vegetables when it is filled with people

"Do not sacrifice yourself for your family, foolish child, because... they love you just the same." Ji Ruhua said softly, "Go, and cultivate well."

Lin Feng knew he could not hide it from his mother, and he nodded, saying: "Back then, my elder brother worked hard to earn money to cultivate me, but unfortunately... I have let down my brother's expectations. Yu'er is intelligent and hardworking; if there is enough money to purchase the gene fluid, I believe she will surely cross the critical threshold before the age of eighteen and become a gene warrior"

"How can it be the same? Mom's cooking is the best of the best!" Lin Yuer had a look of intoxication on her face, "Don't worry, brother, there is still quite a bit of money left by elder brother..." Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Yuer seemed to think of something and nervously covered her small mouth, peeking at Lin Feng like a frightened little rabbit.

Brother, why are fresh vegetables so expensive

... ...

Lin Feng's eyes sparkled as he slowly said: "Gradually, humanity began to value itself, to value the brain, and to explore every possible way to tap into its potential, yet they could never find a correct method to enhance the breadth of the brain's domain, until... one day, they suddenly discovered the existence and mysteries of ancient martial arts."

Lin Feng's heart suddenly tightened upon hearing this

... ...

"I am sorry, Yuer," Lin Feng gently embraced his sister, affectionately stroking her little head, and said softly, "Over the past year, I have caused you worry." Feeling the slight tremor of her petite body in his arms, Lin Feng couldn't help but let out a soft sigh; although his sister was still young, she was quite clever and had learned a lot since childhood.

This is an agreement between myself and my elder brother, and it is also the responsibility of a man

A year of confusion and haze, I have been practicing as if I were mad, like a small boat stubbornly trying to sail against the waves in a tsunami. But why bother? The raging waves of the tsunami will eventually pass, and I can patiently wait for the next opportunity to set sail.

The ancient martial arts mindset is of great importance to ancient martial artists, just as the Heart of Elements is to genetic warriors. Ancient martial artists absorb the energy of heaven and earth through this mindset, strengthening themselves, and combining it with martial techniques to unleash formidable combat power. It can be said that ancient martial artists cannot separate their cultivation or combat from the ancient martial arts mindset.

A hundred flowers bloom, the green grass provides shade, and guards can be seen patrolling everywhere

I have read a book that records some scientists who made significant contributions to humanity at that time, such as Newton and Einstein. Their brain capacity far exceeds 5%; there are also athletes who hold world records, such as boxers, whose brain capacity is similarly close to the 10% threshold

As she watched Lin Feng enter the training room, Ji Ruhua's beautiful eyes flickered slightly

If it were my former self, I would not be so calm, but this time, having walked out of the nightmare that haunted my heart, I feel as though I have let everything go, or perhaps I should say...

How could mother possess the ancient martial arts heart technique

Simple dishes, yet due to the changes of the heart, have transformed into the most exquisite delicacies in the world

From the moment I took that step, the answer was already within my heart

Making this decision is difficult, as genetic warriors and ancient martial artists represent two completely different paths. There are significant differences in terms of cultivation, combat, internal energy, and even equipment. Moreover, the path of the ancient martial artist is tenfold or even a hundredfold more challenging than that of the genetic warrior

Indeed, if one only practices in silence, who would know if one does not speak of it?

But she is not good to my brother," Lin Yuer said, "I do not like anyone who is not good to my brother

It is evident that the ancient martial arts manual in one's hands is not ordinary

"Hmm, it smells so good~" Lin Feng squinted his eyes and took a deep breath.

Oh, are the great monsters in that wilderness particularly formidable

Lin Feng chuckled in disbelief and said, "You are just greedy; as long as you provide your body with enough calories and nutrition, isn't it all the same? Besides... fresh vegetables are not cheap." Lin Feng's gaze turned towards the kitchen, and despite his words, he felt a warmth in his heart, knowing why his mother was in such a particularly good mood today

"Yes, Mother," Lin Feng said decisively, his gaze piercing.

With a soft beep, the door opened with a click as the fingerprint was pressed

Silly child, your elder brother's talent is indeed astonishing, but... you are actually not inferior to him in the slightest

The soon-to-be eighteen-year-old self must support the entire family

I still remember that I once asked my elder brother this question. He has always placed great importance on history, as he stated that history is a thick book that records everything that has happened. The reason humanity has been able to unlock its potential and enter the ancient martial era is due to the existence of history

Most importantly, ancient martial arts techniques above the yellow level must not be privately taught or sold; violators will be wanted by the Ancient Martial Artists Alliance. Therefore, to become an ancient martial artist, one must first join a martial arts school or sect in order to receive proper instruction in ancient martial arts techniques.

Perhaps I do not possess the same talent as my elder brother, but I will never give up. Regardless of the setbacks and blows I may face, I will continue to move forward with courage and determination

With their eyes locked, Lin Feng gazed at his mother, his conviction unwavering in the slightest.

"Brother, what exactly is the breadth of the brain?" Lin Yuer propped her chin on her hand, asking curiously

"What are the siblings chatting about, looking so happy?" A gentle and graceful voice sounded. Lin Feng raised his head, and there was a face as poetic and picturesque as his mother's name, Ji Ruhua, as if she had walked out of a painting, exuding unparalleled elegance. Time had left no traces on his mother's face; instead, it added a touch of mature intellectual beauty.

With a serene smile, Ji Ruhua looked at Lin Feng and gently said, "It's good that you are back"

Compared to the rudimentary civilian areas, the Ping'an Community is quite commendable in terms of residential environment, conditions, and security measures.

Humanity has experienced a significant enhancement in both intelligence and physical strength, unlocking great potential, officially transitioning from the Quaternary period into the Ancient Martial Era

... ...

Looking at his sister's sparkling big eyes, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile faintly

I will never pay attention to Sister Qian again in the future Lin Yuer's voice was very soft, yet very certain

"Brother." Lin Feng pushed the door open and was greeted by a charming and adorable figure

This sentence contains profound meaning

"Did you see?" Lin Feng said with a smile as he playfully rubbed his sister's nose, "You are so meddlesome"

"The method of the heart, or perhaps one might say... the decision of the heart." Ji Ruhua said softly, her eyes reflecting a different kind of enchantment.

With large eyes, a delicate nose, and lightly pursed cherry lips, her gaze carries an unmistakable concern, and she is none other than my younger sister, Lin Yuer.

Lin Yuer pouted and said, "I am not a child anymore"

Ancient Martial Arts Heart Sutra

Concentrating energy in the dantian, when one reaches the limit of cultivation, one can attempt to open one of the Ren or Du meridians, which is what we now refer to as 'Chong Po'. Each time a Po is opened, the breadth of the brain domain can continue to increase. When both the Ren and Du meridians are fully opened, the power of the Po and the central axis will be activated, and the limit of the brain domain's breadth will be enhanced by 30 percent

"Mother," Lin Feng spoke, his voice soft and hoarse, yet imbued with certainty, "I have returned"

In a question-and-answer format, Lin Feng patiently addressed his sister's inquiries

Lin Feng furrowed his brows and said: "Both my elder brother and I are born with this genetic trait, Yu'er should..." A hint of uncertainty flashed across his face, and Lin Feng hesitated, indeed having forgotten that Yu'er was not born of their mother

A fleeting glance of longing crossed Lin Feng's eyes as he smiled gently and said, "I am fine"

Lin Feng smiled casually as he took off his shoes and entered the living room. The house was not particularly large, with an area of 150 square meters clearly visible. The minimalist decor featured three bedrooms and one living room, along with a closed training room, which was almost a standard configuration.

The family of three was harmonious and joyful. Seeing the long-lost smiles of his mother and sister filled Lin Feng's heart with warmth. This is his home, with people he is worth protecting with his life. With his elder brother absent, he is the only man in the family and must take on the responsibility of supporting the entire household

"Are you really determined to start over?" Ji Ruohua suddenly asked, her pair of wise and beautiful eyes seemingly capable of seeing through everything.

Indeed, it is the inadequacy of myself as an older brother

"Brother," Lin Yuer softly murmured

... ...

According to rank, the ancient martial arts heart techniques are divided into the following categories: non-mainstream, nine streams to first stream, yellow rank from first to ninth grade, black rank from first to ninth grade, earth rank, and the legendary heaven rank.

Eh?" Lin Feng said with slight surprise, as far as he knew, his sister had never undergone genetic testing. Looking at his mother, Lin Feng suddenly revealed a smile; since his mother said so, it must be a hundred percent certain. From childhood to adulthood, it seemed that his mother knew everything, and nothing could be hidden from her.

I have already accepted reality

Ji Ruhua smiled slightly: "Are you sure that Yu'er is definitely a natural gene?"

"What?" Lin Feng felt incredulous

Ji Ruhua does not seem particularly surprised: "For Yuer?"

"Yes, yes, today Mother is in particularly good spirits," Lin Yuer said with great delight, her eyes shining brightly. "I haven't had hot meals for a long time; every day it's just cold, compressed energy food, which has no flavor at all." As she spoke, Lin Yuer couldn't help but pout her little lips, looking quite adorable.

The Proud Sun Martial Arts School is affiliated with the Setting Sun Martial Arts School, and in Setting Sun City, in addition to the Setting Sun Martial Arts School, there also exists the "Martial Gate".

I will definitely become an ancient martial artist!" Lin Feng clenched his fist

Oh, right. Lin Feng responded somewhat dazedly, suddenly coming to his senses.

The path of the ancient warrior is the one you are truly meant to follow

Lin Feng felt a tightness in his heart upon hearing those words, as if the softness deep within his heart had been touched, and his eyes became slightly moist, deeply moved. The feelings his sister had for him were akin to his feelings for his elder brother, filled with thick familial affection, dependence, and admiration. Although there was no blood relation, it was even stronger than that of biological siblings

Silly girl, Lin Feng murmured

It is important to note that the probability of being born with a natural gene is less than one percent

With the heart as the source, communicate with the universe, cultivate the inner strength and wisdom, absorb the energy of the world, and strengthen oneself

Thank you, Mom. Lin Feng nodded gently, feeling a warm current in his heart as he held the thin booklet in his hand. A significant part of his desire to join the Jiaoyang Martial Arts School was due to the 'Ancient Martial Arts Heart Method.' With this heart method in hand, the path ahead suddenly became much broader, and the choices increased significantly.

"Brother, you?" Lin Yuer looked on with her big, expressive eyes, her curious gaze directed towards him

This is it. Lin Feng smiled and pointed to his head, "During the last era, the Quaternary period, most humans utilized only 3% to 5% of their brains from birth to death, which is a tremendous waste. The human brain has infinite potential to be explored. As the breadth of brain regions increases, humanity can become smarter and stronger"

Of course, it is quite impressive, but the wilderness is filled with treasures everywhere, including elemental crystals, spiritual fruits and herbs, and metallic ores; even those elemental beasts possess countless treasures.

"Yuer is indeed a natural talent," Ji Ruhua said

"Remember, Feng'er, unless absolutely necessary, do not expose yourself." Ji Ruhua said with a serious tone

Mother, I plan to join the Jiaoyang Martial Arts School Lin Feng said to his mother as he looked at her

The most astonishing aspect is the Three Kingdoms period, during which many military strategists and generals exhibited cognitive capacities that exceeded not only 10%, but even reached 20% and 30%.
