This System Really Delivers-Whatever's Missing, It Provides
Zhang Daosheng glared at Ye Chen in exasperation, then pulled out a ring and tossed it to him.
"There are a thousand Spirit Stones inside. Come find me when you've used them up."
Ye Chen caught the ring. "A Spatial Ring?"
"Tsk, kid, you've got quite the eye. You even know about Spatial Rings?" Zhang Daosheng looked at Ye Chen in surprise.
"This ring is worth far more than those thousand Spirit Stones. You should have some idea now of how much Firmament Academy values you, right?"
Ye Chen stared at the ring in his hand. This was practically an unexpected windfall!
He put it on and examined it carefully.
A thread of Spiritual Power entered the ring, revealing countless Spirit Stones packed densely inside.
"Old Zhang, thanks. Then I'll head back to class?"
"What class? You don't need to attend classes." Zhang Daosheng spoke directly to Ye Chen.
"There's actually something that good?"
Zhang Daosheng sighed helplessly. "You're in the support division, so the demands of combat aren't that high. You only need to complete some physical training."
"After all, as a support-type awakener, your task is to keep yourself alive and heal your teammates in time."
"So your speed is very important. You need to improve your physical fitness."
Ye Chen fell silent. Zhang Daosheng was right. Those were indeed things a support-type awakener should do.
Making sure you didn't die was the most important thing.
But the problem was, I'm not a support-type awakener!
"So, from now on, your task is to run one lap around Zanghai City every day. You don't need to come to school or anything. Use your rest time to properly absorb Spirit Stones."
"Oh, then I'll head back."
"Go."
Ye Chen helplessly set off for home. He had thought he would at least learn something, but instead, he had been told he didn't need to attend classes.
Meanwhile, Zhang Daosheng watched Ye Chen's departing figure, seemingly lost in thought.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Lan Batian, I agree to your conditions."
A bold voice came from the other end. "No problem, no problem. Although Shuang'er won't take you as her master, this still makes you half her master."
Zhang Daosheng hung up and silently lit a cigarette.
"Kid, this is all I can help you with."
He exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke and raised his head toward the sky.
"I hope I made the right choice... A support-type... god."
After returning home, Ye Chen began frantically absorbing Spirit Stones.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, with over a hundred Spirit Stones placed beside him.
The Basic Breathing Technique circulated slowly. Its efficiency was simply too low.
Ye Chen knitted his brows. "When will I ever reach the Second Awakening Realm at this rate?"
"Ding! The draw has refreshed."
His tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
"Draw!"
The system panel appeared once again, and a huge two-colored wheel materialized.
All Heavens. Dimensions.
The two options each occupied half the wheel.
"Not very creative." Ye Chen complained as he swiped a finger.
The wheel began to spin, turning faster and faster.
Ye Chen called out softly, "Stop."
The wheel gradually slowed until it finally came to a complete halt.
"All Heavens."
Ye Chen muttered, "If Dimensions refers to those anime or movies, then what about All Heavens? What is that? A xuanhuan otherworld?"
A golden capsule machine appeared.
Ye Chen abruptly pressed the button in front of him.
The capsule machine churned for a while, and a purple egg dropped out.
Ye Chen lightly tapped the egg.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Creation Breathing Method."
Ye Chen: "..."
"System, come clean. Was this reward decided by you?"
"Ding! No."
"I complained about the Breathing Technique yesterday, then complained about how slowly I was advancing today, and you gave me a Breathing Technique? And you still say it wasn't?"
"Ding! It really wasn't."
Ye Chen's face was full of disdain. What an arrogant system!
He took out the Breathing Technique and held it in his hand.
A cool sensation swept over him.
The instant he opened the book, everything related to the Creation Breathing Method was imprinted in Ye Chen's mind.
A sudden torrent of knowledge flooded his consciousness, and Ye Chen let out a soft cry.
"Fuck, why does it hurt so much?"
However, the stabbing pain did not last long.
Ye Chen began circulating his Spiritual Power according to the method of the Creation Breathing Method.
With every inhalation and exhalation, the amount of Spiritual Energy drawn in was more than a hundred times that of the Basic Breathing Technique.
The words "Creation Breathing Method"—especially "Creation"—sure sounded impressive.
But in reality... the drawbacks of this Breathing Technique were rather obvious.
It absorbed Spiritual Energy far too quickly!
The meridians in the body were somewhat fragile. For an ordinary person, this would likely damage the body.
However, that was not a problem for Ye Chen. With the Wood Release's automatic healing, the damage to his body was being repaired constantly.
Originally, a single Spirit Stone was enough to sustain Ye Chen's absorption for two hours.
But now...
He could absorb around fifty Spirit Stones in an hour.
Feeling the changes within his body, Ye Chen was overjoyed.
With this, forget the Second Awakening Realm—even breaking through one realm a day wouldn't be a problem!
I'll quietly become outstanding, and then... scare the living daylights out of every one of you!
What Ye Chen did not know was that his name was already known by everyone.
A support-type awakener had rejected Beijing University's recruitment offer.
Naturally, this grand spectacle was all Yan Feng's doing.
After a series of outrageous maneuvers and fanning the flames, nearly all the students of the same year now knew this name.
"I, Ye Chen, don't think much of you, Beijing University."
That infuriated the majority of the students who admired Beijing University and dreamed of entering it day and night.
Lan Batian was also feeling somewhat regretful at that moment. Earlier, he had asked Zhang Daosheng for the cultivation manual for the Ice Element.
After all, he was a beast-type awakener, while his wife possessed the Water Element.
He was unable to teach Lan Lengshuang...
Zhang Daosheng's condition for handing over his own cultivation manual had been that Lan Batian help Ye Chen enter the top hundred of the College Entrance Trial!
As an expert of the Ice Element, Zhang Daosheng naturally knew how overbearing it was.
In his eyes, if Lan Lengshuang took Ye Chen with her...
Entering the top hundred should be easy!
Besides, having a Wood Element support-type awakener would still bring Lan Lengshuang some benefits.
Thus, Lan Batian agreed.
Who could have known that such a change would occur?
"I somehow ended up aboard Zhang Daosheng's pirate ship. I regret it so much!"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
A crisp voice rang out, and Lan Batian could only sweep away his earlier frustration.
He turned to look at Lan Lengshuang, only to discover something that delighted him.
"It's nothing, precious daughter. You've entered the First Awakening Realm?"
"Yes. I broke through last night."
"You entered the First Awakening Realm on the very first day of awakening your talent. As expected of my daughter, Lan Batian!"
"I finally broke through." Ye Chen put down the Spirit Stone in his hand.
He glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.
"Two hours... the Second Awakening Realm."
"The Spiritual Power in my body has more than doubled. This time, I shouldn't be drained dry after releasing only one Wood Stockade Wall, right?"
Feeling the Spiritual Power surging within him and the further strengthening of his body, he murmured, "I wonder how much combat power I have now..."
"There seems to be a combat-power testing device at school. I'll have to find some time to make a trip there."
