Ethan stood in the middle of the training room, his breath still heavy after his fight against the modified Zenith android. His hands still trembled slightly, not from exhaustion, but from the residual Qi flowing through his body.

"I actually did it."

He gazed at the massive android now lying on the floor, its red eyes, once glowing, now dim. It wasn't just a victory—it was proof that he had surpassed his limits.

Lazarus looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, then nodded slowly. "I didn't expect you to destroy it with a single final strike."

Claire crossed her arms. "He learns quickly. Even faster than we anticipated."

Adrian whistled with a grin. "Well, I have to admit... I'm starting to understand why Zenith is so interested in you."

Ethan frowned. "What do you mean?"

Adrian sat on a metal bench in the corner, his expression more serious than usual. "Zenith isn't just looking for players who can experience the effects of cultivation in the real world. They're looking for... those with limitless potential."

Ethan tensed. "Limitless potential?"

Claire nodded. "Yes. Of all the players who have undergone this transformation, only a handful can progress this quickly. Zenith calls them Qi Pioneers—the first humans to naturally connect the virtual world and the real world."

Lazarus stared at Ethan intently. "And you, Ethan... are one of them."

Ethan's heart raced. "So, Zenith is watching people like me... because we are proof that their project has succeeded?"

Adrian sighed. "More than that. Zenith doesn't just want to observe... they want to control."

Ethan clenched his fists. If Zenith was after him because of his potential, it meant he was deeper in this than he realized.

"So, what's our next move?"

Claire looked at him deeply before answering.

"You've passed the first trial. Now, it's time for you to face the outside world."

A New Chapter Begins

After a brief rest, Ethan returned to the main meeting room of the Investigators' headquarters. There, a large screen displayed a digital map showing various secret locations scattered across the city.

Claire tapped one of the red dots on the screen. "This is one of Zenith's secret facilities. We suspect they are conducting advanced experiments here."

Ethan looked at the map seriously. "So, we're going to investigate it?"

Adrian grinned. "Exactly. And you, Ethan, will join us on your first mission."

Ethan felt a mix of excitement and tension within him. He had developed rapidly since entering Immortal Cultivation VR, but this would be his true test—taking his cultivation abilities into the real battlefield.

Lazarus patted his shoulder. "Get ready. The real world is far harsher than the virtual one."

Ethan nodded. "I'm ready."

The world had changed.

And now, he walked forward as a true cultivator—into the real world.
