Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2466 - 2304: The Grand Prize
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
A few moments passed.
Tang Qingly displayed two bite marks on his hand. These had been inflicted by Qin Shiqi and Tang Nian’er; although Qin Shiyu had experienced agonizing pain, she ultimately could not bring herself to bite him.
Nevertheless.
Her expression still glimmered with a trace of resentment.
Truly.
The intensity of that torture felt as if her soul were being ripped from her body. It must be what true disintegration feels like! And she had been told that such ordeals would likely repeat in the future.
Oh dear.
How terrifying!
Even so.
Reflecting on the fact that Tang Qing must have endured that same exquisite agony himself, her vestigial resentment faded. After all, it was for their benefit, as proven by how they felt now.
Brimming with internal Qi.
At this moment.
Tang Qing donned a solemn expression.
“Take heed.”
“What has occurred here must never reach the ears of outsiders. Such information would trigger an immense storm, with consequences too grave to bear.”
“Holding the Precious Jade is a crime in itself.”
“Wealth.”
“Financial success can be explained, as it is merely external. However, the discovery of methods that shatter human limits would shake the very foundations of this world.”
“Furthermore.”
“Even your closest companions must remain ignorant. Should this secret leak, not only would we face catastrophe, but those around us would be placed in lethal danger—the nature of which is better left unknown.”
While offering this guidance, he purposely instilled a sense of caution in them.
This matter.
Is of the utmost importance.
...
Upon hearing his warning.
The young women adopted serious expressions. Tang Qing had not divulged much, yet they were far from foolish; the sheer power of this technique was earth-shattering.
Considering the implications.
Surely, this was not something Tang Qing had devised on his own.
Therefore.
Only one explanation remained.
—An ancient inheritance.
Whether passed down by a reclusive individual, a mysterious Sect, or a clandestine organization remained a mystery. Looking back, Tang Qing’s rapid rise over these past few years was simply too unnatural.
While the public merely witnessed Tang Qing accumulating massive amounts of wealth, his family observed far more peculiar phenomena.
For example.
The security detail patrolling outside.
Every single one of them.
Possessed strength that defied belief.
Originally.
They assumed these men were akin to Special Forces, yet they soon realized that even elite soldiers could not compare to them. They were utterly enigmatic.
Furthermore, Tang Qing’s circle of friends and a series of inexplicable incidents all pointed to the existence of a formidable force backing him.
Now.
With the revelation of a method to transcend human limits, their minds naturally coalesced around the concept of an inheritance. If they dared to share this with outsiders, perhaps those people would be silenced permanently.
Contemplating this possibility.
The girls recoiled in fear.
“Brother, rest assured, I shall never whisper a word of this to anyone.”
“Indeed.”
“We will remain silent.”
“...”
They offered their solemn assurances repeatedly.
Witnessing this.
Tang Qing nodded with satisfaction.
“Good.”
“I trust in your judgment. Cultivate your connection to Qi diligently; you will grow stronger, achieving not only vitality and health but ensuring your bodily functions remain at their peak.”
“Which signifies.”
“The deeper your cultivation.”
“The more your youth shall be preserved. Even thirty or fifty years hence, your appearance will remain unchanged, free from the ravages of age.”
Hearing these words.
The trio’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“What?”
“Is that the truth?”
“Oh my heavens!”
They were stunned. Initially, their sole objective had been to grow strong enough to defeat Tang Qing, as being bested even when attacking three-on-one felt incredibly frustrating.
But now.
Tang Qing was promising that continued progress would lock their youth in place for decades—a concept that sounded truly mythological!
Thinking back on it.
Could it be that everything they once understood about the world was entirely false?
“Naturally, it is true. Surpassing limits is not merely about physical brute force, but about optimizing your body’s meridians and extending your innate lifespan. A standard healthy individual rarely reaches a century.”
“You three.”
“Having achieved this, your lifespan will likely reach 150 years. As you continue to unravel further gene locks, your longevity will only increase. How far it can go?”
“That depends on your own Dao fortune.”
“Remember.”
“These truths must never be uttered, even in the privacy of your own homes when guests are present.” Tang Qing issued one final warning.
“We understand.”
“It is etched in our minds.”
“...”
The girls recovered from their shock, nodding solemnly. If such secrets leaked, the world would surely descend into madness. They felt their existing worldview crumbling away.
In its place.
A new understanding of reality was forming.
This was followed by intense excitement; the prospect of everlasting youth was a temptation no woman could resist. If their original motivation for training was to defeat Tang Qing…
Now.
Their cultivation served the purpose of eternal youth, filling them with a renewed, fervent enthusiasm.
...
Ten minutes later.
Having adapted to their fresh reservoirs of power.
“Brother.”
“Prepare yourself.”
With that declaration.
Qin Shiqi launched a strike.
Yet.
With a quick snap, even with their enhanced skills, she and Tang Nian’er proved no match for Tang Qing. He easily taught them a lesson, showing that they were still far from strong enough.
Or perhaps.
Tang Qing was simply too monstrous a genius.
“Brother, just how strong are you, really?”
“That is a secret for another time.”
Having spoken.
He walked away, leaving the three girls to admire his back. He appeared more towering than before, as they finally glimpsed the true heights of the martial world.
Looking back at themselves.
How weak they had been previously! Despite breaking through one limit, they realized there were countless more ahead—a path that seemed endless.
“What do you think? How many levels has our brother broken through?”
“At the very least, Level Two.”
“Nonsense.”
“I suspect he is above Level Three, perhaps even the fifth or sixth!”
“...”
After debating for quite some time, they were forced to give up. Without a proper reference point, they only knew one truth: the three of them combined were mere novices compared to Tang Qing.
Sighing!
“Let us put in the effort. I refuse to believe I cannot eventually close the gap.”
“Agreed.”
With renewed determination.
They began to train again, setting aside time every single day for their cultivation—all in the name of staying beautiful!
...
The fact that the three girls had breached the Level 1 Gene Lock did not circulate outside the core of the Tang family. Tang Qing merely urged everyone to cultivate their internal strength, noting that rewards would be granted upon reaching specific milestones.
Consequently.
Aside from the girls, only Lin Jiaxue was privy to the secret, having cleared that same barrier at the end of last year. She, however, remained extremely restrained regarding the matter.
Kept things quite low-key.
“What exactly is this reward?”
Second Uncle Tang Kai asked, his curiosity piqued.
“I am forbidden from saying.”
Tang Qing smiled and shook his head. Before his parents could press him further, Qin Shiqi and the others excitedly interjected, declaring that it would certainly be a miraculous prize.
With no regrets.
In fact.
They urged both parents to take the practice seriously.
At first glance.
They also seemed intrigued, but regardless of how they pushed, Tang Qing and the girls refused to spill the beans. This left the others dying for answers, but discerning the genuine excitement in the girls’ eyes, they knew something extraordinary was afoot.
“Why not... give it a try?”
Training the physique could hardly do any harm, after all.
“From today onwards.”
“Mom, we shall return home every day,” Tang Nian’er promised her mother.
“Oh?”
“We are here to supervise your training as well,” she added. “University equipment is no longer sufficient for our needs.” They had only caught a glimpse of a vast new horizon.
Full of ambition.
Therefore.
They were committed to returning home daily; having experienced collegiate life, they had felt the limitations of mortal existence. Now that they saw a path without bounds, they seemed to have discovered new purpose in life.
In response.
Youman and Tang Kai were naturally delighted to have their daughters home more often. They had previously been lonely when their daughters only returned on weekends. Now, the prospect of having them close was a joy.
