Vajra Mingwang Technique: First Glimpse of the Door

[Random Treasure Chest, Grade: White]

[Chest Grades: White, Blue, Silver, Gold, Purple, Jade, Diamond]

"Seven grades of treasure chests, and I've got the lowest one right now."

Yang Ling took a deep breath, rubbed his hands together.

Then he crouched in front of the chest and slowly opened it.

The chest opened, and a soft white light spilled out.

Like a gentle breeze brushing against his face.

Inside the chest lay a single pill, quietly resting.

Yang Ling focused his gaze, and information immediately appeared:

"Spirit Nurturing Pill, can increase 500 proficiency points"

"What the hell? Increase 500 proficiency points!?"

Yang Ling was startled.

This was way too exaggerated.

At his current cultivation speed.

500 proficiency points would take at least twenty-something days!

Yang Ling thought it over, then swallowed the Spirit Nurturing Pill in one gulp.

The White Treasure Chest vanished at that moment.

"Please select the martial art proficiency to increase."

"Vajra Mingwang Technique."

"Please select the martial art proficiency to increase."

"Looks like Vajra Mingwang Technique won't work. So it can only boost martial skills after all."

"Collapse Mountain Fist."

The next second, a warm current continuously surged within Yang Ling's body.

Exactly the same feeling as when he trained martial arts and his proficiency increased.

The only difference was that this warm current came fiercely, wave after wave.

Yang Ling even felt his head grow dizzy.

As if he had practiced Collapse Mountain Fist for over twenty days straight.

When the sensation faded, he suddenly felt an emptiness.

He immediately checked his Attribute Panel:

Character: Yang Ling

Class: Martial Artist

Level: 10

Strength: 11

Agility: 5

Spirit: 12

Martial Arts: Vajra Mingwang Technique (First-rate Cultivation Method, Beginner)

Experience Points: 60/100

Collapse Mountain Fist (First Glimpse of the Door)

Proficiency: 587/1000

Health Points: 110

"It really did increase 500 proficiency points. If I got another one, wouldn't I step straight into the realm of Complete Mastery?"

Yang Ling was secretly amazed.

This was too miraculous.

"Spirit Nurturing Pill... aside from the game's rewards, is there anywhere to buy them?"

"There should be. For example, the Major Sects definitely have treasures like this. That's why the disciples trained by those sects all have extremely high martial skill proficiency."

"That batch I saw before, including Wu Que, were all at Entering the Hall and Room."

"At this rate, Supernatural Skill seems within reach too... I just wonder if the Spirit Nurturing Pill has resistance, where the more you take it, the less effective it gets?"

Yang Ling suppressed his thoughts, opened the Divine Realm Rank List, and glanced at it.

His name wasn't there.

"Of course. Without a Class Transfer, there's no qualification to be on the list."

"The game just notified me that I'm among the first thirty top players to reach Level 10. That means across the entire Divine Domain, my level is in the first tier."

"But mining gives me Experience Points that relieve fatigue, letting me keep digging nonstop."

"Then why are those guys leveling up so fast? Is it because of their starting advantages?"

Yang Ling felt a flicker of doubt.

He'd already confirmed that Zhang Wei, Lin Guoliang, and the others could gain Experience Points from mining too.

But Experience Points were just Experience Points—nothing like his own cheat-like ability to directly relieve fatigue.

That was why Zhang Wei wanted to leave.

For him, leveling up through mining was not only exhausting and painful, but also painfully slow!

"Forget it. Leveling up is what matters. Maybe there'll be a reward at Level 20."

Yang Ling pushed aside his stray thoughts and got to work grinding Experience Points.

He had no ambition to be number one, but he did want to maintain his leveling speed.

Best if he could keep earning game rewards every time.

The sun was about to set. Yang Ling returned to the wooden cabin and began practicing his fists.

Time ticked by, bit by bit.

"Huh, something's off."

Yang Ling's expression shifted.

Before, he could only gain 1 point of proficiency per hour.

Five hours meant 5 points.

But just now, while practicing his fists, he felt the proficiency gain rate had clearly sped up.

"Five hours... could it be 6 points? That's an increase of one-fifth?"

"My Mental Power was 10 before, now it's 12. That means Mental Power really is tied to proficiency..."

"Let me try the Vajra Mingwang Technique!"

Without a second word, Yang Ling assumed the stance and began cultivating the Vajra Mingwang Technique.

Experience Points +1

Experience Points +1

As time passed, the Experience Points quickly added up to 5.

The gain rate seemed no different from before.

Yang Ling didn't stop. He kept cultivating.

After a while:

Experience Points +1

"6 points!"

Yang Ling opened his eyes, overjoyed.

The upper limit of Experience Point gain had increased!

Also by one-fifth!

"So Mental Power really is connected to both proficiency and Experience Points!"

"Great! I don't have to wait until I'm old and gray to become an expert!"

Yang Ling felt a surge of excitement. As long as he kept leveling up and adding Free Attribute Points to Mental Power, he could boost his cultivation speed and create a virtuous cycle!

"I have Free Attribute Points I can allocate, but Zhang Wei and the others seem to only get corresponding attribute points through similar training.

If other players are the same, that's one of my biggest advantages.

I can boost Mental Power whenever I want, but they can't..."

Over the next few days, Yang Ling's life fell into a steady rhythm.

By day, he mined and grinded Experience Points.

By night, he practiced his fists and cultivated the Vajra Mingwang Technique.

His strength wasn't just slowly growing.

His coin purse was also getting fatter by the day.

One day.

Yang Ling's face showed unprecedented seriousness.

After making sure Xi Zhou was nowhere around, he continued cultivating the Vajra Mingwang Technique!

97/100

98/100

99/100

Time passed.
