Rapid Progress!

"Panel, pull up my info."

Lin Ye immediately commanded.

As the thought fell, an interface materialized in his mind—

[Name: Lin Ye (Junior Battle General)]

[Attribute Points: 87]

[Body Technique: Microscopic Level (Proficiency 95/100)]

[Strength: 8600kg]

[Speed: 104m/s]

[Spirit: Psychic Power (Gray)]

[Domain: Not Activated (Gray)]

[Avatar: Not Activated (Gray)]

[...]

Lin Ye briefly browsed his info, already clear in his mind.

Aside from the three grayed-out rows at the bottom, his strength and speed had seen massive breakthroughs during this wilderness operation.

Just from the last time he took down a Primary Beast General—

Going from a mere beginner High-Level Warrior, rapidly crossing the watershed, his strength alone now rivaled a Junior Battle General.

"With this level of power, plus the material proof from killing a Primary Beast General, I could swap for a new rank badge anytime."

Lin Ye lifted his head slightly, glancing at the Combat Suit draped over the wall.

Right now, the "High-Level Warrior" badge on his arm no longer satisfied him.

The warrior rank badge needed an upgrade too!

After all, things like the Warrior Forum and other warrior-related features required different permissions.

There was a clear divide between Warrior and Battle General, and the gap between Battle General and War God was enormous.

But for now, Lin Ye focused on sensing cosmic energy and cultivating Gene Energy.

The rest could wait...

"System, add one Attribute Point!"

With a thought, a cool breath of air appeared out of nowhere, pouring down from the top of his head—then vanished in an instant.

Before Lin Ye could savor it, the breath was already gone.

All that remained was a slight bump in his panel's Strength and Speed.

Now, like a gambler unwilling to quit, Lin Ye kept allocating points, trying to grasp the cosmic energy through it—

"Add another one!"

"Add it!"

"Add!"

With each thought from Lin Ye, Attribute Point after Attribute Point turned into cool breaths, irrigating his entire body.

From the inside out, they enhanced his cells, meridians, flesh, and skin, making them tougher.

Lin Ye closed his eyes, once again trying to sense that familiar energy in the surrounding world.

His breathing steadied, his mind cleared, nearly reaching a state of perfect awareness.

Following the description of the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method, Lin Ye split his awareness into five parts, focusing them on the Baihui acupoint at the crown of his head, the centers of his palms, and the soles of his feet. He strained to sense.

Under the Point Allocation, the droplet-like cool breaths that appeared out of nowhere kept gathering, then merging into the great river that was Lin Ye's body.

Lin Ye carefully felt the energy brought by the allocation inside him, while also striving to sense the cosmic energy outside.

In a daze, he seemed to catch that familiar energy.

As the allocation continued, that energy gradually grew clearer.

It wasn't from the Attribute Points—this faint, drifting coolness from outside felt ancient, as if it had existed forever, or had just materialized out of thin air.

"This is the feeling. Wonderful."

Lin Ye eased into the state, then kept allocating points at this steady pace...

Finally, as the last five Attribute Points turned into cool breaths, above Lin Ye's head, he sensed that familiar energy in the surrounding space seeping slowly through his Baihui acupoint into his body.

No—

Not only the Crown Point (Baihui acupoint), but even the centers of both palms and the soles of both feet also produced the same thread-like wisps of energy, slowly flowing into his body.

Like an IV drip, drop by drop, they entered his body.

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +0.5]

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +0.5]

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +0.5]

As these faint, cool wisps of energy burrowed into his body, a continuous stream of electronic prompts rang out in Lin Ye's mind.

"It worked!"

When this indescribably mysterious energy arrived, joy surged in Lin Ye's heart.

But he wasn't satisfied with this natural, slow rate of absorbing cosmic energy.

He wanted to speed it up.

"Focus the spirit, circulate the breath, empty the air within the body. Emptiness is the break; the break births destruction; life is illusion; illusion is clarity..."

"Gather the jade's path, collect heaven and earth!"

Silently reciting the Nine Splendor Art mantra, Lin Ye quickly adjusted his internal state.

As he chanted the mental technique's formula, some of the lingering doubts in Lin Ye's sea of consciousness were directly resolved, becoming clear.

At the same time, Lin Ye felt a lightness in both body and mind.

This feeling was like slowly merging into this vast, boundless world, able to freely absorb its energy.

Sensing this change in himself, Lin Ye didn't hesitate. He directly focused his consciousness on the centers of his palms, the soles of his feet, and the Crown Point at the top of his head.

Immediately after, a series of thoughts about absorbing cosmic energy emanated, spreading toward the five centers.

Soon, the soles of Lin Ye's feet, his palms, and his Crown Point all activated simultaneously, and the rate of absorbing cosmic energy suddenly skyrocketed.

From the initial IV-drip speed, it abruptly expanded into a small stream, with cosmic energy flowing continuously into Lin Ye's body.

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +10]

A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, and Lin Ye's breathing quickened slightly.

"It really worked. The rate these Attribute Points are increasing is absolutely unheard of."

"Hahaha..."

Lin Ye was incredibly excited inside.

He hadn't expected that the [System] he'd brought with him through time could not only grant Attribute Points for killing monsters.

But even cultivation could produce this many points.

"This is just too great!"

Joy filled Lin Ye's heart as the Attribute Points kept climbing, and the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile.

At regular intervals, the cold, synthesized electronic voice rang out in his mind—

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +10]

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +10]

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +10]

Although most of the cosmic energy absorbed into his body was converted into Attribute Points, a small portion was intercepted by various parts of Lin Ye's body.

From the inside out, it optimized Lin Ye's genes, meridians, bones, flesh and blood... In this process, Lin Ye's physique was also steadily and orderly improving.

In the silent room, only Lin Ye's steady, even breathing and heartbeat could be heard.

In a state of absolute meditative stillness, Lin Ye clearly perceived that every single cell in his body was wrapped in a wisp of cool energy, undergoing a transformation bit by bit...

Outside the window, the night was deepening.

It was early autumn, yet the weather in Shan City was no different from midsummer—the night wind was scorching and wild.

The sky was gloomy and pitch-black, not a single star visible.

A thin mist rose from the earth, gradually thickening, like a cage closing in on the entire shelter...
