Today, the school's curriculum mostly consisted of lectures on the techniques of breathing methods, meditation, qi circulation, and entering a meditative state.
After a day passed,
With the assistance of the Cultivation Technique talent "Easy to Understand," even the student with the worst Aptitude in the class managed to get started.
Of course, this was also thanks to the Martial Dao panel's assistance.
In between, there were also two cultural classes, but only a few people listened attentively.
As soon as school was dismissed, Su Yuan rushed home without stopping.
"Huh, Older Sister, are you feeling better today?"
Su Yuan opened the door, about to quickly enter his room to refine the qi and blood pill,
But his gaze swept over, and he was surprised to find his Older Sister also meditating on the sofa.
This was a long-awaited event!
When her talent first disappeared, Su Yu was unwilling to give up, practicing diligently every day without ceasing.
But the harder she tried, the more frustrated she became.
Sometimes,
If you don't try, you truly won't know what despair is.
The Spiritual Qi Su Yu Cultivated always dissipated along with her life essence, Qi, and spirit.
Over time,
Coupled with her increasingly failing energy,
Su Yu gradually gave up, no longer striving to Cultivate, and she didn't expect to have rallied again today.
"Ning..."
Su Yu opened her eyes, only then realizing Su Yuan had returned, "I'm feeling better, don't worry, Older Sister just... still wants to try,"
She smiled weakly, then looked a bit surprised,
"Why are you back so early today?"
...""Hmm, I also wanted to refine the Medicinal Pill earlier to improve my Cultivation."
Su Yuan pursed his lips.
It seemed Older Sister hadn't gotten better; the reason she was Cultivating might have been because she was stimulated by the news yesterday about 'another student's talent disappearing.'
Su Yuan hesitated to speak.
Su Yu, however, had already smiled and said, "That's good, Cultivate hard, whether our family can live a good life depends on you, little brother!"
"...Okay!"
Su Yuan nodded, no longer saying anything more.
He went straight into his room.
He let out a long breath. He felt heartache but also powerlessness regarding his Older Sister's situation.
But as things stood, even the truth behind the disappearing talents couldn't be found!
He could only focus on improving his strength first!
Thinking of this, Su Yuan no longer delayed and quickly took out a qi and blood pill to consume!
...(80%)
...(93%)
"Rank": Martial Dao First Realm Third Layer (3%)
It took three more qi and blood pills to finally Breakthrough to the Third Layer.
"It only took three Medicinal Pills to Breakthrough the First Layer, but it took six to Breakthrough the Second Layer."
"Besides the increased Spiritual Qi required for the Second Layer, there's also the reason of drug resistance!"
"The effect of the same Medicinal Pill weakens if too much is consumed!"
Su Yuan felt a bit regretful.
However, the good news had also arrived!
The panel once again displayed a prompt:
"Rank increased, congratulations on Breaking through the First Realm Third Layer."
"You will randomly acquire a talent!"
"Ding!"
"Divine Rank Selection System has been triggered, you can choose any one talent from 2-10 random talents."
1:
"Talent Name": Serpent Affinity
"Talent Rank": green
"Talent Effect": Snakes will be more friendly towards you, and normally you will not be attacked by snakes without reason.
"Oh..."
2:
"Talent Name": Nine Oxen Strength
"Talent Rank": red
"Talent Effect": You will gain the strength of nine giant savage oxen.
"Why is it 'Nine Oxen Strength' again... Huh, no, why is it a red talent this time?"
Su Yuan looked closely.
Only then did he realize that this time's "Nine Oxen Strength" was the strength of nine giant savage oxen.
And not the strength of nine ordinary yellow oxen from the previous green talent.
"This..."
3:
"Talent Name": Frail and Sickly
"Talent Rank": gray
"Talent Effect": Your body will become weak and you will frequently fall ill.
"Damn it!"
"Random 2-10 talents, this time only 3 were randomized, and one of them is a gray talent!"
Su Yuan was a bit speechless.
It seemed he didn't need to struggle and rack his brains to choose this time; he could just blindly choose the red talent "Nine Oxen Strength"!
There was really nothing good to say about the other two!
"Frail and Sickly" can get lost.
"Serpent Affinity" had some use, but it was too singular.
As for "Nine Oxen Strength",
Although he had also randomized this talent last time,
The previous one was only a green talent, only granting the strength of nine ordinary yellow oxen.
Su Yuan didn't think much of it!
But this time's nine oxen were nine Advanced giant savage oxen.
The strength of giant savage oxen,
Is even stronger than a Martial Artist who has just entered the Second Realm!
With nine combined,
Purely in terms of strength, it's comparable to a Third Realm Martial Artist!
Although it's still considered an early-stage skill and its effect will be smaller in the Late Stage,
This is an early-stage Divine Skill!
Even if it wastes a talent slot, it's worth it!
Thinking this way,
Su Yuan then selected "Nine Oxen Strength" on the System page. A flash of light appeared on the Martial Dao panel, and the information changed again.
"Name": Su Yuan
"Talents": gold "Equality of All Beings", blue "Zero-Frame Startup", red "Nine Oxen Strength"
"...": ..."Is there any way to get all Golden talents!"
Every time he saw the messy colors in the "Talents" column, Su Yuan had some unrealistic delusions.
He wanted all Golden talents on his body.
But now, he felt that hope was becoming increasingly slim.
However, he no longer dwelled on these thoughts; he decided to first try out the power of this "Nine Oxen Strength."
Unlike "Equality of All Beings" and "Zero-Frame Startup",
The former both needed to be experienced in combat.
While the latter could be seen to have an effect right now.
"Nine Oxen Strength!"
Su Yuan waved his arm, feeling nothing.
It seemed this talent's effect needed to be actively activated!
Su Yuan's heart stirred.
Thinking of using the "Nine Oxen Strength" talent effect, he punched again!
"Rustle!"
He only heard a rustling sound of air being torn apart!
It was clearly different!
His body felt no abnormality, nor did his muscles bulge.
"It seems this 'Nine Oxen Strength' is just an Attach, not truly making the body bear this part of the strength."
"That's good, otherwise, with my body's current strength, throwing such a punch would directly make it explode!"
Su Yuan understood in his heart.
He lightly grasped the nearby desk and easily lifted it with one hand.
"Nine Oxen Strength, it truly is terrifying!"
Su Yuan was delighted.
He spent half a day getting familiar with this immense strength, only stopping when he could control it with some precision.
"The strength is comparable to a Third Realm Martial Artist. Although there's no progress in reaction or speed, I'll at least have the power to fight in the future!"
"However, I still can't be complacent; continuing to refine Medicinal Pills is paramount."
Su Yuan was about to take out a Medicinal Pill to consume.
But he glanced at the time.
It was already past ten in the evening.
Indeed, Cultivation knows no time; five hours had passed without him realizing it.
"I don't think I've had dinner yet!"
Su Yuan rubbed his stomach; no wonder he felt a bit hungry.
He walked out of the room.
His mother and Older Sister had already eaten, but they hadn't gone to bed yet.
His mother was on the sofa, circulating Qi to help his Older Sister regulate her body.
His mother was at the First Realm Third Layer of Cultivation.
Speaking of which,
If she hadn't unfortunately acquired the gray talent "No Further Progress",
And her Cultivation had stopped ever since,
Perhaps his mother would have become a powerful expert long ago with the talent "A Thousand Miles in a Day."
"You even forgot to eat dinner. You don't need to Cultivate so diligently; you must eat your meals on time!"
Seeing Su Yuan emerge from his room,
Jiang Pei reprimanded him with a slight hint of worry.
It wasn't good to disturb him while he was Cultivating, so she hadn't woken Su Yuan for dinner.
"I know!"
Su Yuan responded, walking to the dining table where there were dishes set aside for him.
He tried them; they still had some warmth.
He was too lazy to heat them up and started eating directly.
