"Brother Chu, you are too polite to this kind of person." Walking on the path leading to Supervisor's Office, Jiang Kuo still looked a little aggrieved.
"It doesn't matter." Chu Bai looked as usual. To him, Li Han was just a touch of dust on the path of spiritual practice. After brushing it away, his heart was still clear.
He glanced at the fading dusk and said to San Humanity's Dao: "I have important matters today, so I will take my leave first."
Training at different locations three times a day, Chu Bai will not fall behind in progress.
More than twenty days later.
Chu Bai once again stepped into the door of Scripture Repository.
This time, he did not stop in front of the messy attack Spell Arts on the first floor, but went straight to the defense Spell Arts bookshelf.
After a fierce battle with Zhang Shan, he fully understands the importance of defense methods.
[Origin Guard Shield]
This is the Spell Arts selected after repeated comparisons with Chu Bai.
Compared with those heavy but clumsy stone wall techniques, Origin Guard Shield is made of pure "Origin Return Formula" Spell Power condensed into a palm-sized round shield that can be moved at will within three feet of the body.
The core advantage of this Spell Arts is its compatibility.
Origin-Returning Spell Power is inherently neutral and can simulate various attributes.
This means that when Origin Guard Shield faces fire-based attacks, the shield can instantly become cold and thick; when faced with metal-based attacks, it can become flexible and unpredictable.
More importantly, Origin Guard Shield's defense power increases with the purity of monk Spell Power. For people like Chu Bai who are proficient in the technique, this is simply tailor-made.
"Spirit Water Needle is the main attack, Formless Cloud Hand is the main control, and Origin Guard Shield is the main protection."
Chu Bai holds the burned Jade Slip, and my heart feels clear.
These three doors, Spell Arts, can be considered as initially able to cooperate, both offensively and defensively.
Part of the next Dao Merit income was invested in his practice.
One dish of the cheapest Spirit Cuisine and one serving of Dao Merit every day.
But in the eyes of Chu Bai, this is the most cost-effective treasure.
Every time Spirit Cuisine enters the stomach, [Food Injury Leaks Elegance]Fate Destiny will exert force.
He could feel that his meridians were getting wider day by day, and the acupuncture points that were originally a little rough were gradually becoming rounder under the nourishment of spiritual energy.
He accumulated all the remaining Dao Merit with only one goal - Pills.
He does not lack insights and does not need to worry about bottlenecks.
It's just this progress in practice that needs to be mentioned.
Time flies by in this extremely disciplined and almost boring rhythm.
After winter comes, Dao Academy is covered in silver.
Dao Academy back mountain, Lone Peak top.
The cold wind howled like a knife and rolled up large amounts of snow, shrouding Chu Bai in a hazy white mist.
He has been sitting here for three whole hours.
Over the past two months, Chu Bai has almost become an invisible person among the Dao Academy.
Except for going to class and doing tasks, he refused almost all social activities.
Zhou Tong once complained that Chu Bai is now more difficult to hire than the old antiques in Supervisor's Office.
But only Chu Bai himself knows how terrifying the accumulation in his body has reached.
On the panel deep in his sea of consciousness, the progress bar in the realm column was almost complete.
[Qi Refining First Layer:99/100...]
This progress bar has just been reached and the breakthrough is close.
During these days, the Spirit Cuisine on the first floor that he devoured every day was not of high quality, but the quantity was great.
He discovered that as his qualifications slowly improved, the meridians that originally required ten executions to widen now only required three.
"Compared with those Aristocratic Clan guys, my start was still slow after all."
"But I have my own way. As long as I keep progressing, I will not lose."
Chu Bai took a deep breath and took out a delicate vial from his arms. What was inside was the Qi-Gathering Powder that cost him ten Dao Merit points.
It can increase the speed of breathing, which is even more useful for Chu Bai, which already has advantages.
As soon as a Pills enters the mouth, it turns into three scorching torrents.
If he were an ordinary monk, he would be facing a formidable enemy at this time and carefully direct the medicinal power to flush out the bottleneck.
But Chu Bai doesn't need it.
[Acquired Fate Pattern: Relentless Toil, Relentless Effort]
The bottlenecks in realm and technique do not exist for him.
As long as you make enough progress, everything will fall into place!
A grand and majestic aura suddenly rose from Chu Bai's body.
The medicinal power that should have been rushing wildly through the meridians actually became like a docile lamb, running wildly along the route of "Origin Return Formula".
Click--
There seemed to be a crisp cracking sound coming from the depths of the sea of consciousness.
That was the last cry of Qi Refining First Layer's barrier in the face of absolute progress.
The next moment, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, forming a tiny vortex on the top of Lone Peak, converging crazily towards Chu Bai's eyebrows.
Qi Refining Second Layer, done!
Chu Bai only felt that the total amount of Spell Power in his body more than doubled outward in an instant. Origin-Returning Spell Power, which was originally deep, was now a little darker in color, with a vague metallic luster.
Divine Sense also underwent a qualitative change.
In the past, his Divine Sense could only detect a radius of three feet, but now with a thought, every plant and tree within a radius of ten feet around him, as well as the wind and snow, were all as clear as a picture.
This sense of control made him unable to help but let out a loud roar, which shook the surrounding areas and caused the snow on the surrounding trees to flutter down.
[Name: Chu Bai]
[Realm: Qi Refining Second Layer(1/100)]
[Exercise: Origin Return Formula (Mastery 315/500)]
[Skills: Spirit Water Needle (Proficient 149/500), Formless Cloud Hand (Proficient 36/200), Origin Guard Shield (Proficient 32/200)]
Looking at the updates on the panel, Chu Bai slowly stood up and patted the frost off his shoulders.
Enrolled for more than three months.
From a poor kid who couldn't even afford to be a cultivator at the Academy, to an elite student at the Dao Academy Qi Refining Second Layer now.
What is crossed here is not only realm, but also class.
He knew very well that although Qi Refining Second Layer was not the best among the entire Dao Academy, that was when the seniors were included.
Among this freshmen, those who can break through the second level at this time are definitely no more than two hands, and most of them are direct descendants of the Aristocratic Clan who have family backgrounds.
And it only took him less than seven months.
Dao Academy Examination was only Qi Refining a month ago, but now it has broken through to the next level.
"Half-Year Grand Competition, Spirit Pavilion quota."
Chu Bai looked towards the direction of the main peak, with an unprecedented confidence in his eyes.
At this time, he has made up for all his shortcomings.
With the three methods of attack, control and defense in hand, plus Qi Refining Second Layer's cultivation level Foundation Depth, and the master of killing [Seven Killings in the Fate Palace]...
Next Half-Year Grand Competition, he didn't just want to see it.
"Rankings must be fought for."
"One quick step will lead to faster steps. The more resources and attention we get, the smoother our future development will naturally be."
"Especially when I am short of resources..."
He is determined to win the legendary Spirit Pavilion that can change the characteristics of Spell Power.
The wind is still cold and the sky is full of snowflakes.
