Chu Han, already lying in bed, suddenly received a message.
He opened his communicator and saw that it was actually from Zhao Feiyu.
The moment he opened the message, Chu Han was overjoyed.
"There's news from the buyer. Zhao Feiyu really came through this time!"
Chu Han could not help but feel more hopeful. He looked at the little beast sleeping sprawled across his blanket and smiled.
"Little fellow, your future is finally settled."
Chu Han chatted with Zhao Feiyu a little longer. They agreed to make the trade after the martial artist certification was over—two days from now.
Having found a buyer, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Chu Han soon drifted into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, he began the draw.
[Congratulations, you have obtained one Spirit Power Cultivation Method: Hundred Explanations of Spirit Power Cultivation (Beginner Volume)]
"A Spirit Power Cultivation Method!"
Chu Han instantly perked up.
With a thought, the contents of Hundred Explanations of Spirit Power Cultivation (Beginner Volume) were imprinted into his mind.
"It really is a method for cultivating Spiritual Power. And it's like an encyclopedia, covering every aspect of Spiritual Power cultivation."
Chu Han was overjoyed. This was truly good stuff.
On Blue Star, secret methods for cultivating Spiritual Power were a hundred times more precious than Elemental Power techniques or martial skills.
Because Spiritual Power was a higher form of power.
Although everyone was born with Spiritual Power, it was far harder to cultivate and use than Elemental Power.
Other than special geniuses who had awakened Spiritual Power talents, ordinary martial artists could only cultivate Spiritual Power after reaching the realm of a 7th Rank Grandmaster.
And Grandmaster Level martial artists capable of controlling Spiritual Power in battle dealt dimensional strikes against martial artists below the 7th Rank. The gap was enormous.
Of course, there were also some peerless geniuses whose Spiritual Power became strong enough to cultivate as early as the 6th Rank.
But in either case, those capable of cultivating Spiritual Power were one in tens of millions.
And now, Chu Han had been given an opportunity as well.
He discovered that he could begin cultivating the contents of this Hundred Explanations of Spirit Power Cultivation (Beginner Volume) right away.
One had to know that the low-level Spiritual Power cultivation methods available on the market were all intended for martial artists who had awakened Spiritual Power talents.
Even if Spiritual Power cultivation methods used by Grandmasters were made public, ordinary martial artists would be unable to cultivate them. Not to mention that every such Grandmaster method cost hundreds or even thousands of times more than an S-Class martial skill!
So, the fact that Chu Han could cultivate Spiritual Power now was an immense stroke of luck!
To cultivate Spiritual Power, he first had to understand the various pieces of knowledge about Spiritual Power recorded in Hundred Explanations of Spirit Power Cultivation.
With the comprehension granted by Ten Thousand Times Talent, Chu Han quickly mastered all of that knowledge completely.
Spiritual Power was an extension of human consciousness. In Hundred Explanations of Spirit Power Cultivation, it was divided into multiple realms, though he currently only understood the first four.
First came beginner-level Spiritual Power. It could strengthen one's perception, insight, and mental defenses, and could also impose mental pressure upon others through one's gaze.
Only after Spiritual Power grew strong enough could one enter the second realm.
Spiritual Power at the second realm had already formed effective means of attack, such as direct mental attacks, interference, hijacking, and enthrallment.
It could also affect small masses of matter through Spiritual Power, such as telekinesis, though telekinesis at this level could not form any real attack power.
Only upon reaching the third realm could one freely affect the outside world with Spiritual Power. The simplest manifestation was telekinesis, which could manipulate objects to attack or alter their shape.
The fourth realm was even more formidable. It could even affect space and construct a real spiritual world of space...
The Hundred Explanations of Spirit Power Cultivation Chu Han had obtained was only beginner-level. At most, it could allow his Spiritual Power to reach the first realm, strengthening it and making him immune to all kinds of mental illusion attacks.
Even so, it was exceptionally rare.
Once his Spiritual Power was strengthened, his perception would increase dramatically. He would be able to release Spiritual Power to sense his surroundings and predict the trajectory of an enemy's attacks earlier.
Even attacks his eyes could not catch could be detected through Spiritual Power perception.
And once his mental defenses were strengthened, he would have another layer of protection when he encountered martial artists or mutant beasts capable of mental attacks.
Hundred Explanations of Spirit Power Cultivation came with a nameless beginner-level visualization method.
This visualization method contained only a single image, which seemed almost engraved into Chu Han's consciousness.
The image depicted a constantly changing space. Every instant was different, every instant shifting.
The method of cultivation was also simple: gaze upon the changing space and let Spiritual Power grow stronger.
Without hesitation, Chu Han immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, focused all his attention, and began visualizing that image of space.
At first, his consciousness could only follow the shifting space endlessly. Before he could clearly see one space, the image had already changed into another.
He felt as though his consciousness were being pulled by some invisible force, constantly traveling through different spaces.
During the process, he discovered that his Spiritual Power was steadily growing stronger.
After an unknown amount of time passed, he found that his perception was also continuously strengthening.
Though his eyes were closed, he could clearly see his internal organs, bones, and flowing blood.
As his Spiritual Power continued to grow, he could see more and more.
Every strand of hair on his skin, every fiber in his clothes.
As he continued cultivating, the range of his perception gradually expanded to one meter, then two meters...
By the time sunlight fell, the range of his perception had expanded to a radius of five meters.
Everything within five meters was clearly displayed in his "field of vision": the Black Mane Lion cub that had awakened, the peeling paint on the wall outside the window, and the lock on the front door outside that was being turned open.
"Click."
The sound of the lock turning entered his mind as well. Mom was turning the key.
His parents, who had spent the day looking at houses, had returned.
Mom carried a bulging cloth bag filled with freshly bought vegetables, while Dad held several folded sheets of paper, probably floor plans he had brought back from the house viewings.
Chu Han slowly opened his eyes, a bright glint flashing through them.
He slowly rose and went out to greet them. "Dad, Mom, you're back?"
"Xiaohan, how did you know we were back? We only just opened the door."
"My hearing became very sharp after I got stronger." Chu Han smiled as he explained, not revealing anything about Spiritual Power.
He had just finished cultivating and had sat still for an entire day, yet he did not feel tired at all.
Moreover, his mind was exceptionally full of vigor, and his thoughts were far more active than usual. He did not feel the slightest bit weary.
"How did your cultivation go today?" Chu Zhan asked, concern in his voice.
"Pretty well. I laid down a solid foundation." Chu Han smiled.
"That's good. Do your best in tomorrow's martial artist certification."
"Don't worry. I'll definitely become a martial artist tomorrow!"
Chu Han was brimming with confidence.
That night, Chu Han lay in bed without the slightest hint of sleepiness.
So he continued cultivating his Spiritual Power.
He did not sleep for two hours until the early hours of the next morning.
Though he had only slept for two hours, he felt more mentally refreshed than ever.
By the time he woke up, it was already six o'clock.
His draw chance had refreshed once more.
