Overlooking the vast spiritual channel within his body, which was as wide as the ocean, at this moment, Fang Yuan only felt that his power had risen sharply to a new level.
Looking at his health bar, it had gone from 70% full to completely maxed out, and it surged from occupying half of the screen to three-quarters of the screen!
"If I keep leveling up like this, my health bar might end up becoming two bars."
Fang Yuan sighed. He was now a little worried. As he grew stronger, if his health bar eventually filled the entire screen, he might not be able to see the enemy clearly. What would he do then?
After slightly adjusting to his current state, Fang Yuan quickly gathered his aura.
Even though it was only leaked for a brief moment, it was enough for everyone in the Genius Camp to feel it. At this moment, everyone's expressions were extraordinary.
"Such a strong aura!"
The talented young people marveled, feeling a sense of heart palpitations, and a feeling of insignificance surged. After all, most of them were only at the second realm and couldn't understand what this aura really meant.
The only one who could understand it was probably the Chóngwǔ Wèi in the central building: Shí Mò.
Although he was only at the third realm, he had seen this aura before on the first guardian of the Chóngwǔ Wèi: Qín Hǎi!
This was the aura of someone at the peak of the fourth realm!
Moreover, in terms of its depth, the aura was even stronger than Qín Hǎi's by far!
The highest cultivation level of the students in the Genius Camp was only at the third realm. How could such a peak fourth realm aura suddenly appear?
Just as this question emerged, a figure suddenly appeared in Shí Mò's mind!
Fang Yuan!
In that instant, Shí Mò's skin crawled!
My God?!
No way!
A fifteen-year-old at the peak of the fourth realm?!
Are you kidding me? And the most important thing is, when this kid first came to the Genius Camp, wasn't he just at the early third realm?!
Has it only been half a month?!
"Is he really this exaggerated of a genius..."
Shí Mò clenched his fists, a bitter smile on his face.
Earlier, when he saw Lord Chóngwǔ's personal disciple, he thought he finally understood the true value of a "genius."
That was a kind of talent that was obvious at first glance, one where you could immediately see a bright future ahead!
But now...
"Turns out the real genius is someone you see and don't even feel an ounce of jealousy toward..."
When facing that personal disciple, Shí Mò would feel envy and jealousy, but when facing Fang Yuan, he had no thoughts at all.
It was like looking up at a mountain—would you feel jealous that the mountain is higher and stronger than you?
...
In the wooden house, Fang Yuan's actions had not yet finished. His goodwill points were still abundant, so he turned his attention to the last technique that needed upgrading: Slash.
Fang Yuan was quite satisfied with this technique. No matter how many goodwill points it consumed, he was determined to max it out!
Start!
With a thought, Fang Yuan's goodwill points surged into the technique:
[You have spent too much time refining at the beginner stage. Now, you will delve deeper into your study and practice of Slash.]
[This practice will also come with great risks, but with your ever-growing health bar, you are like a computer full of anti-virus software such as 360, RuiXing, and Kingsoft, not afraid of any viruses.]
Wait a minute, you don't even need viruses with that, the computer will freeze on its own! And using such modern terms with The Good Person Scripture really isn't appropriate, is it?
As the words of The Good Person Scripture appeared, Fang Yuan's health bar once again began its extreme bungee jump. The rate of decline was so steep that even stock market investors would want to jump off a building upon seeing it.
This was also why Fang Yuan left Slash for last—other techniques required talent, but this one required life!
It wasn't until 20% of his health bar was drained that a success prompt appeared:
[You have consumed 1500 goodwill points. You have cultivated Slash to the Lesser Success stage and gained the divine ability: Blade Attachment.]
[Blade Attachment: You can now add the effect of Slash to any of your attacks.]
This ability, at first glance, seemed hard to understand, but as soon as it entered Fang Yuan's mind, he understood everything.
The effect of Slash was to release a powerful slashing strike with no preparation time.
And Blade Attachment allowed all of Fang Yuan's attacks to have no preparation time!
All of his attacks would now be initiated with zero frames!
Tsk, tsk, another practical and powerful divine ability!
"Is this the 'Old Six Plus' version? Another divine ability that fits my style perfectly!"
Fang Yuan nodded lightly, immediately deciding to continue pouring goodwill points into this extreme martial art. As long as he couldn't "kill" it, he would pour it in as much as he could!
However, the next moment, The Good Person Scripture displayed a line of text, interrupting Fang Yuan's wild upgrading thoughts.
[Your realm is not enough to cultivate this.]
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, but it made sense. This was a forbidden technique created by a martial arts master; it wouldn't be possible to max it out at the fifth realm.
He had been careless. He should have asked Lord Chóngwǔ about the cultivation methods for the fifth realm when he was at the Treasure Pavilion.
However, Fang Yuan actually knew a little bit. The fifth realm required absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth.
In fact, after his 362 major acupoints had been opened, Fang Yuan had already felt the aura of the surrounding world.
In his perception, the surrounding spiritual energy was quite lively and enthusiastic, as if it would rush into his arms the moment he beckoned.
This was actually quite normal. After all, others had spiritual channels like small thin dogs, while his spiritual channel was like a mighty king, and the attraction was on a completely different level.
This was what they meant by "better to cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle."
Tsk, tsk, who would have thought spiritual energy would be so realistic. Thinking about some experiences from his past life, Fang Yuan felt a little hurt.
Since that's the case, should he try absorbing it and see?
With that thought, Fang Yuan gently inhaled.
And with this action, The Good Person Scripture suddenly revealed some text. The sensation felt like when an antivirus program pops up a window during a movie download:
[You tried to absorb a wisp of spiritual energy but found that the heavenly and earthly energy seems to be impure, mixed with some kind of mysterious force.]
[Would you like to use your 'Goodwill Points' to eliminate this mysterious force?]
Fang Yuan was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect such a prompt.
What exactly is this mysterious force? Is it good or bad if absorbed?
Unfortunately, The Good Person Scripture couldn't answer Fang Yuan's questions.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yuan decided to slow down his upgrading and, if possible, figure out what this mysterious force was first.
...
In the following days, the top fifteen geniuses in the Genius Camp received the necessary rare materials and chose to enter seclusion for cultivation.
Soon, some students began to break through.
Lù Tiānyàng successfully broke through to the third realm, level three; Lín Jìng broke through to the third realm, level one; even Mò Wúhén, who had been beaten by Fang Yuan twice, broke through to the third realm, level six.
Unfortunately, these incremental breakthroughs were nothing compared to Fang Yuan.
No choice. Cultivation was like this: other geniuses only needed steady progress, while someone like Fang Yuan, who jumped an entire realm, had to consider many more things.
It's still the same: others' cultivation is gradual and unstable, while Fang Yuan's cultivation is solid, thanks to The Good Person Scripture and point allocation! Very reasonable!
