An Kexin felt very conflicted at this moment, finding it hard to believe what she was witnessing.
Because in her impression, Jin Buhuan at this time did not possess such terrifying strength. In the academy, he was considered to be of average to above-average level. It was only during the Late Stage Championship that he began to rise and embark on the path of invincibility.
But now, he was actually able to defeat an 8th stage expert barehanded?
This level was only one step below the top ten geniuses of the school, but how was this possible?
And then there was Lin Weiwei, the Dark Witch. Her current strength had already reached the mid-7th stage, with a solid foundation and much stronger than An Kexin remembered. All of this made her feel incredulous.
It seemed like anyone who had a connection with this little b*****d would deviate from their original path.
This filled her heart with worry.
History has already changed, will it have an impact on her?
She was just an ordinary person, and her biggest advantage was foresight. If she lost even this advantage, how would she fare in the future?
Would she become cannon fodder again?
Then wouldn't my rebirth be in vain?
"It's all that b*****d Lin Beifan's fault!" An Kexin felt indignant in her heart.
After Jin Buhuan finished the match, An Kexin left.
Then she deliberately took a detour to take a look at Lin's House, but found no activity and left.
With the Divine Ability to observe the heavens and the earth, Lin Beifan became even lazier to go out. He usually only went out to have a meal at midnight and spent the whole day at home, using the Divine Ability to observe the entire academy.
Lin Beifan was surprised to find that in the following days, whenever Jin Buhuan or Lin Weiwei had a match, this beautiful girl named An Kexin would always arrive on time, with a very interesting expression on her face.
Then she would walk to Lin's House with an anxious expression, but would leave disappointed without seeing anyone.
After returning home, this Alchemist actually didn't refine pills, but instead practiced martial arts, and did so with great skill.
"Could it be that this girl has taken a liking to me?" Lin Beifan had a bold guess in his mind.
If it wasn't the case, why would she pay so much attention to people related to me, have such an unpleasant expression when I'm not around, and come to Lin's House every day, reluctant to leave...
Lin Beifan thought more and more that he was right.
"There's no way around it, I'm just too charming. Even if I stay at home, there are people who like me!" Lin Beifan felt a little pleased with himself.
"I can only say that the girl has good taste!"
After so many days of cultivation, Lin Beifan's strength had reached the peak of the Mortal Realm. He could even compete with Transcendent experts in terms of physical strength alone.
But he wasn't satisfied. He wanted to get more, to become stronger.
"The so-called cultivation is nothing more than the cultivation of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit in the human body."
Although in this era there are many professions and many Body Refining systems, ultimately they all come down to the cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit.
Essence refers to the essence that makes up the human body's life tissues, in other words, the body itself.
Energy refers to the energy that drives the human body, such as True Qi or Dou Qi.
Spirit refers to the spirit, soul, and so on.
Among the three, one can specialize in one, or cultivate all three together.
Generally, those who cultivate all three or two of them are stronger than those who cultivate only one, but their cultivation speed is slower.
For example, cultivators cultivate all three treasures. They have very high talent requirements, and their strength is stronger than those at the same level of cultivation, but their cultivation speed is very slow.
So all cultivation methods have their pros and cons.
Lin Beifan's "spirit" is the Primordial Spirit, already incredibly powerful.
As for "essence," his body has been constantly strengthening through the process of comprehending the principles of heaven and earth.
Now, only "energy" is lacking.
His cultivation speed is not slow. Lin Beifan pondered, since he had this condition, could he make up for this deficiency in "energy" and make himself more comprehensive and stronger?
"I wonder if my modified body can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"
Lin Beifan tried the basic breathing technique and suddenly exclaimed, "It really can!"
Surrounding him, the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth surged into his body like moths to a flame. The cells within his body greedily absorbed this spiritual energy, as if the thirsty earth was absorbing water.
Once this spiritual energy entered the cells, it transformed into a transparent and intangible energy.
It wasn't True Qi, nor was it martial energy, and it definitely wasn't internal power. It was a kind of life energy that Lin Beifan couldn't recognize.
Due to its strong suction force, all the surrounding spiritual energy was sucked dry.
Without hesitation, Lin Beifan threw out a spiritual mountain, allowing his body to continue absorbing.
As a result, this million-dollar spiritual mountain was disappearing at a visible speed, eventually turning into a pile of powder.
However, his body's cells still felt hungry.
Lin Beifan threw out another spiritual mountain, but it still wasn't enough.
Then came the third, the fourth...
After continuously throwing out five spiritual mountains, Lin Beifan finally felt full, temporarily not needing to absorb anymore.
Observing his body, Lin Beifan discovered that every cell inside had become more crystalline and vibrant, each one filled with vigorous vitality, as if this was his true nature.
"To achieve enlightenment, the essence, energy, and spirit must be harmonious and flawless, advancing together in unison, only then can one achieve enlightenment!" Lin Beifan realized.
Once again clenching his fist, the surging power within his body was almost about to burst forth.
Lin Beifan found a large steel plate and punched it, creating a big hole.
"My strength has at least doubled, reaching 200,000 jin!"
"And this is only the strength of my body!"
The transparent energy within Lin Beifan's fist covered his body, and then he threw another punch.
There was no sound, the steel plate directly melted away.
Wherever his fist touched, it melted away directly, as if punching on the surface of water, silent and without a trace.
Using his fist as a knife, he then chopped forward.
The steel plate was split in half directly, just like cutting tofu.
"What a terrifying aura! Will anyone I touch just dissolve instantly?" Lin Beifan took a deep breath and activated the transparent energy on his fist, suddenly feeling powerful.
If his whole body was covered in this transparent energy, who would be his opponent?
"For now, let's call this energy 'Yuanqi,' meaning 'Origin Returning,'" Lin Beifan couldn't be bothered to come up with a complicated name.
Now that he had physical strength, energy, and spirit, it was time to consider his attack methods.
He couldn't just charge straight ahead every time, right?
He was a respectable person!
A person who pursued elegance!
A person who loved peace!
He hated this kind of barbaric behavior the most.
Sorcerers were so much better, they only needed to chant spells to unleash magic, full of style.
And there were cultivators, driving Law Treasures to launch long-range attacks, elegant and handsome, yet not dangerous.
After a fight, their hair wouldn't be messy, and their clothes wouldn't be dirty.
Lin Beifan thought he could emulate them.
The first thing he thought of was talismans.
Among Talisman Masters, there was a legend that when they reached the realm of "Void Drawing Talismans," they would transform from a support-class profession to a combat-class profession, greatly increasing their combat power, becoming unbeatable!
Because talismans had various effects, encompassing Myriad Manifestations, they had a restraining effect on other professions.
A Talisman Master with the ability to "Void Drawing Talismans" was like an attacking kaleidoscope.
You never knew how many tricks they had up their sleeves.
Lin Beifan thought he could strive in this direction.
