Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Song Ting
In his bedroom, he skillfully locked the door and entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, or more precisely, the All-Attributes Cultivation Room within the market.
He had long since tried out the 580% Spectral Energy Guidance Technique cultivation speed bonus.
He decided to spend the next month immersed in the All-Attributes Cultivation Room. Under a 5.8 times boost, one month would be equivalent to half a year of outside cultivation. He hoped to leverage this to break through to level 5 of the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique in one fell swoop. The technique had been stagnant at level 4 for two years already, and he wasn’t far from level 5. What if he succeeded?
…
The next day, in the afternoon.
Driving his dad’s “Pentium Type III” kinetic flying car, Song Chi headed straight for Jiangyuan Tenglong High School.
As one of the best junior Torch high schools in Jiangyuan, Tenglong High School was quite well-known.
It was the time when Tenglong High School was dismissed, and the roads near the school gates were especially congested. Fortunately, Song Chi was driving a kinetic flying car and didn’t have to add to the already congested traffic like the ordinary vehicles on the road below.
He parked in an empty spot not far from the school gate and calmly began to wait. He always parked in this same spot, and Song Ting knew it well, so there was no need for him to block people at the school gate.
While waiting, Song Chi’s spirit merged into his heart, and he actively visualized the Mythical Mech Projection that had been imprinted deep within his soul. Although the projection could autonomously enhance an Imprinter’s Spiritual Force after being imprinted, actively visualizing it of course resulted in a better effect.
Yesterday, he had further questioned his dad about that Dragon Ridge Overlord Whale – Mythical Mecha Form Contemplation Diagram. The reason one had to wait until thirty years old to attempt visualization was because only after successfully awakening the Seed of Torch and with the enhancement of the Fire Seed upon one’s spirituality, could one withstand the diagram’s mighty power directly acting on the soul.
Otherwise, the outcome would be minor mental damage at best, or at worst, total spiritual collapse, resulting in a complete loss of sanity.
After generations of testing by the Song family, it was finally determined that the chances of successful imprinting were highest only if the visualization took place after the awakening of the Seed of Torch.
Because of this, Song Chi, who always felt that he had a late start, took the visualization diagram even more seriously. With the Zhu Tian Ruins Market in his possession, he was still confident about his future achievements. And since the so-called Mythical Mecha Form was related to his future, he certainly didn’t dare to slack off.
“Song Chi, why are you here? Where’s dad?”
He didn’t know how much time had passed when a familiar voice finally reached his ears.
Before he could speak, the voice rang out again.
“I remember now, the annual awakening ceremony was just two days ago. Song Chi, you didn’t fail to awaken, so Dad sent you instead, did he?”
Opening his eyes, Song Chi turned his head and glared fiercely at the girl standing not far from the right side of the flying car.
“I’m your brother, stop cursing me.”
The girl was indeed Song Ting, just turned eighteen, the twelve-year-old Song Chi’s younger sister.
His gaze swept over her, and Song Chi remained expressionless.
Two soft voices came from behind Song Ting once more.
“Hello, Big Brother Song.”
“Big Brother Song!”
Two beautiful figures walked out from behind Song Ting, standing side by side next to her. Looking at the three vibrant young girls, Song Chi was momentarily startled. Only a few years ago, they were still little girls, but they had matured into graceful figures, which made him somewhat nostalgic.
Lu Xue and Wang Meng Jing, Song Ting’s classmates and close friends. The three of them had played together from a young age, and Song Chi was very familiar with them.
“Xiaoxue, Meng Jing, hello to you too.”
“Alright, everyone get in.”
At his words, the three girls grinned, with Lu Xue and Wang Meng Jing showing no shyness as they confidently climbed into the vehicle.
Over the past eighteen years, Song Chi had picked them up countless times, always taking detours to drop them home, and they had all grown accustomed to it.
The engine of the Pentium Type-3 flying car had just started not long ago when it began to hover slowly off the ground, with Song Ting, sitting in the co-driver’s seat, unable to hold back any longer.
“Bro, did you successfully awaken?”
Hearing her earnest voice, Song Chi knew that although his sister was a bit impetuous normally, she was very caring toward family. She might appear nonchalant about his awakening on the surface, but deep down, she was more concerned than anyone.
Seeing him nod, a smile returned to the girl’s eyes, but it only lasted for a moment. In the next second, her true colors showed, her bright eyes spinning round and round, as if quickly brewing something up.
With experience of this, Song Chi decided it was best to take the initiative.
“Don’t ask about the others, if you ask, the answer is the lowest.”
Song Ting naturally refused to let it go, it was rare for her to have a day off, and going straight home was out of the question. After a brief pause, she suddenly turned her hopeful eyes towards Song Chi at the wheel.
“Bro, I’m hungry, let’s go for hotpot, I remember the place on Minyuan Road is super delicious.”
Song Chi rolled his eyes and took out a micro suitcase from the side.
“Hungry, huh? Have a tube of this, and you won’t be hungry for half a day.”
Song Ting curiously opened the suitcase, her eyes filled with faint anticipation. But when she saw the ten familiar blue tubes of potion, Song Ting was utterly speechless.
“Song Chi, that’s no way to treat someone.”
Before Song Chi could speak, Lu Xue, who was sitting in the backseat, chimed in with a spark in her eyes, whispering:
“Tingting, it’s the Intermediate Body Tempering Potion.”
Upon hearing the word ‘intermediate,’ Song Ting finally realized what it was and looked again, joy appearing in her eyes.
She mostly used the Primary Body Tempering Elixir before, as the Song family’s resources had mainly been reserved for Song Chi in anticipation of his awakening, so she hadn’t had many chances to use the Intermediate Body Tempering Potion.
“Bro, you just awakened, you don’t need to buy these for me. Mom and dad will start providing for me fully…”
Clutching the suitcase worth a million in her hands, Song Ting’s voice weakened again. Song Chi had only just awakened and was in urgent need of resources, so amidst her joy, she was even more worried about Song Chi’s situation.
Song Chi waved his hand nonchalantly.
“This time the benefits from the exploration were pretty good, so you don’t have to worry about me. But you, you have two years until the upgrade exam for the Advanced Torch Academy. Your guidance technique level is still lv1…”
As he spoke, his gaze shifted, sweeping over Lu Xue and Wang Meng Jing, who were in the backseat.
“Same goes for you two. Always comparing yourselves in the wrong areas but so in sync when it comes to the cultivation of guidance techniques. Having lv1 guidance technique is really too low. It will not only affect your further education but also the success rate of awakening the Seed of Torch. Put aside other distractions and devote more effort to guidance techniques.”
After he finished speaking, he took out two wooden boxes from his side and handed one to each of them.
