"But there's no question about Beibei's strength and potential!"

"What a pity Beibei doesn't have any siblings. Otherwise, no matter what, I'd contract one!"

Lin Lei laughed. "Hahaha, Brother Yun, don't even think about it. Meeting Beibei was an accident for me too."

"And forget Beibei—even contracting an ordinary Shadow Rat is incredibly difficult. Rather than putting your mind on contracting a magical beast, I think you'd be better off putting more effort into your realm!"

"You've been studying my family's Dragonblood Secret Tome for quite a while now. Have you made any breakthroughs in your realm?"

Lin Lei and Fengyun had always been close, and this trip to the Monster Mountain Range had brought their relationship to an even higher level.

After Fengyun returned to the group, Lin Lei found an opportunity to relay Delin's words to him: don't focus too much on one's realm, and especially don't neglect the accumulation of battle-qi and advancement in level for the sake of one's realm.

However, after learning that Fengyun was steadily improving himself with the help of Body Strengthening Potions and Blood Boil, Lin Lei no longer worried about his future growth. Instead, he lent Fengyun the Dragonblood Secret Tome, hoping he could make a breakthrough in his realm.

Although most of the contents of the Dragonblood Secret Tome were useless to outsiders, the cultivation insights left behind by the various ancestors were still worth studying.

But as an item passed down through the family, Lin Lei normally would never show it to others, much less let others read it.

But Fengyun was different. Through this expedition, Lin Lei believed Fengyun had surely noticed some of his secrets.

Leaving aside everything else, Fengyun must have noticed during the battle against the Wind Wolves that, under the influence of the Coiling Dragon Ring, Lin Lei could sustain spellcasting six times longer than an ordinary magus.

Yet Fengyun had never asked about it. Instead, he cared more about Lin Lei's growth through this training. That heartfelt sincerity moved Lin Lei deeply, so he willingly lent him the Dragonblood Secret Tome without holding anything back.

Fengyun shook his head. "Over this period, I've completely mastered lifting the heavy as if it were light. I can thoroughly control every bit of my strength, as well as the condensation and eruption of my battle-qi. The side effects of the Body Strengthening Potion and Blood Boil are easy for me to deal with now."

"But that realm Reno once mentioned—Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth..."

"How should I put it? I don't understand it at all!"

"Ah, if I'm not mistaken, Control Over Self is complete control over everything within a warrior, while Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth should be control over the surrounding environment—or, more directly, control over the elements of heaven and earth."

"Although Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth is a realm above Control Over Self, I'm afraid the two have no connection at all. That's why I have no clue whatsoever about Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth, the third realm of a warrior, and I've made no progress at all."

Thinking of how someone had spent only three years training in the Monster Mountain Range before directly comprehending the momentum of earth and wind, and then comprehending Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth, Fengyun felt a little bitter and jealous. Not wanting to continue the subject, he changed it. "Forget it, let's not talk about that. By the way, do you want another bottle of Body Strengthening Potion?"

Lin Lei's face immediately went pale, and he waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no. Brother Yun, you should keep that stuff and enjoy it yourself!"

After learning about the effects of the Body Strengthening Potion, Lin Lei had naturally wanted to try it. Although he had no battle-qi and the potion's effects couldn't even be brought out to a tenth of their potential for him, he thought anything that could make him stronger was good.

Unfortunately, Lin Lei primarily cultivated magic. Though his warrior training had given him a solid foundation, he was not much better than the other warriors of the Special Warfare Camp.

After spending a quarter of an hour writhing on the ground like an oversized "worm" and suffering some muscle and bone injuries, he had begun to keep well away from the stuff!

After Fengyun used a Healing Spell to treat his injuries, Lin Lei never again had any desire to drink the potion. Fengyun had brought it up now partly to change the subject, but also because he wanted to confirm whether Lin Lei truly had not experienced any increase in Spiritual Power when he drank the Body Strengthening Potion.

Seeing Lin Lei refuse, Fengyun could only wonder to himself, Lin Lei is a magus and should be more sensitive to increases in Spiritual Power. Since he said last time that he didn't feel any increase, then his Spiritual Power must truly not have changed much.

Whether I confirm it again or not, the result will be the same. But why didn't his Spiritual Power increase after taking the Body Strengthening Potion?

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Fengyun suddenly grew excited. "Could it be that this is my cheat?!"

Whenever he thought of this, he became inexplicably excited. On the Yulan Continent, there were two paths to reaching Saint Ascension. One was the path of a Saint Warrior. To take that path, one needed to comprehend the warrior's realm to the level of Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth.

Fengyun was currently only one step away from that level, but making that breakthrough was unimaginably difficult and depended entirely on opportunity!

The second path was becoming a Saint Magus. This path was extremely reliable: one only needed to continuously strengthen one's Spiritual Power, use quantitative change to trigger qualitative change, and ultimately transform one's soul.

But while one's physique and battle-qi could be rapidly enhanced with heavenly treasures or potions like the Body Strengthening Potion and Blood Boil, Spiritual Power—the foundation of a magus—could scarcely be improved through external means. A magus could only slowly hone and increase it through painstaking effort, making talent especially important.

As an ordinary person whose initial Spiritual Power was merely low-grade and who would not live past five hundred years without reaching Saint Ascension, Fengyun had never considered taking that path from the beginning.

But if taking the Body Strengthening Potion could strengthen his Spiritual Power, if this truly was his cheat, then such enhancement was likely not as limited as he had previously imagined.

If that was the case, then becoming a Saint Magus was the cultivation path best suited to him.

Although that path required far more potions and wealth, compared to the outcome of reaching Saint Ascension, no difficulty was worth mentioning!

With that thought, Fengyun's spirits soared. "Hahaha, Beibei, you've played long enough. Encountering a Seventh-Rank Magical Beast in the outer region is rare luck. Let me use this unlucky fellow for practice next!"

With that, he raised the Light Shadow Shield and slashed his blade at the Raptor.

Though Beibei had not quite had enough fun, he still retreated. Watching Fengyun attack, he communicated with Lin Lei through their souls. "Boss, why do I always feel like Brother Yun has been really happy lately?"

Lin Lei shook his head and sent back, "I don't know either, but it's not a bad thing. If we don't know, then we don't know."

"Still, after we return, I should introduce Brother Yun to some classmates who cultivate light-element magic. I don't know why, but he's suddenly become interested in magic lately."

Beibei said strangely, "Yeah, it really is strange. Brother Yun never used to care much about magic. Other than a Healing Spell, he wouldn't learn any other spells at all."
