Chu Bai slowly opened his eyes. At that moment, there seemed to be a deep gray light flashing in the depths of his pupils, and then quickly disappeared. He felt the endless power in his body, which was a completely different texture from that of Qi Refining First Layer.

If Spell Power at the time of Qi Refining First Layer was a stream running through rocks, clear but thin; then at this time, the Spell Power in his body was like a bottomless pool, which had no waves but contained an astonishing sense of weight.

He was not in a hurry to go down the mountain, but held his breath and concentrated, entering the state of inner vision again.

"Origin Return Formula" After breaking through the realm of mastery, the meridians, which were originally tougher than ordinary exercises, now faintly revealed a warm and jade-like luster under the wash of the second layer of Spell Power.

What surprised him even more was that the long-term nourishment brought by [Food Injury Leaks Elegance]Fate Destiny exploded into real power at the moment of breakthrough.

He could clearly feel that his perception - or Divine Sense - had undergone a qualitative leap.

He closed his eyes and no longer relied on his naked eyes to observe.

Within a radius of ten feet, the subtle vibrations of snowflakes falling to the ground, the frequency of wind blowing through withered grass, and even the breathing of a few hibernating insects in the crevices of rocks are all like three-dimensional pictures directly reflected in his sea of consciousness, every detail reflected.

"Is this the 'Subtlety' feeling brought by the second floor?" Chu Bai showed a smile on his lips.

He slowly raised his right hand, his mind moving slightly.

Buzz!

A ray of blue spiritual light flickered at the fingertips, and in an instant, a three-inch-long, completely transparent "Spirit Water Needle" with solid spiral patterns condensed out.

After breaking through Qi Refining Second Layer, due to the sudden increase in the total amount and purity of Spell Power, this water needle no longer looks as light as before, but has a heavy texture. The air around the needle tip actually produces a distorted refraction due to the high-frequency rotation.

He waved his hand casually, and the water needle was like a blue lightning, instantly hitting a Green Ironwood plant twenty steps away that was hugged by several people.

There was no obstruction or violent explosion, and the ancient wood, which was as hard as fine iron, was penetrated instantly.

Chu Bai Upon closer inspection, a round hole as thick as a finger was left on the tree trunk. The edge of the hole was as smooth as a mirror, and even appeared in a semi-scorched state due to the high heat generated by the spiral force.

"The power has increased by more than 50%." Chu Bai commented secretly.

Later, he tested [Formless Cloud Hand].

When he grasped it with five fingers, the originally ethereal Spell Power condensed into a transparent hand the size of a millstone in the atmosphere. As his mind changed, this palm could not only capture heavy objects, but also generated a strong gravitational force in the palm of the hand.

The snow and gravel on the ground were pulled by this gravitational force and quickly gathered into a ball in the palm of my hand.

"This is no longer just a capture. If used in battle, this move is enough to cause deviations in the opponent's Spell Power operation."

The last test was [Origin Guard Shield]. As Spell Power was poured into it, a translucent round shield with mysterious patterns opened instantly.

Chu Bai flicked the shield surface with his fingertips, making a crisp metallic impact sound.

Due to the purity of Spell Power, this shield is no longer a rigid defense. It can even automatically remove the impact force through the subtle flow of Spell Power according to changes in external pressure.

When we returned to Room Seven, Yi Block, the sky was already dark.

As soon as Chu Bai opened the door, Jiang Kuo, who was wiping a jade-inlaid magic sword, suddenly raised his head.

At that moment, Jiang Kuo felt the magic sword in his hand sink slightly, and an inexplicable sense of oppression spread from the young man at the door, making his chest feel tight.

"Chu... Brother Chu?" Jiang Kuo was stunned. He rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief, "Your aura... you have made a breakthrough?!"

Zhou Tong and Chen Shi, who were still sleeping with their heads covered, suddenly woke up and came over one after another.

"Oh my god, it's really Qi Refining Second Layer!"

Zhou Tong circled around Chu Bai twice, smacking his tongue and said, "Brother Chu, you are changing every month. In our class, except Lin Xuewei who grew up taking medicine, and Class Two that Dong Feng, I haven't heard of anyone who has steadily broken into the second floor at this point.

Why does your aura feel more stable than those old students Class Two?"

Chen Shi Although he said nothing, the admiration in his eyes was beyond words.

He could feel that Chu Bai was now like a volcano about to erupt. Although it was calm on the surface, the spiritual pressure contained inside already made him feel a slight difference.

Chu Bai smiled faintly and waved his hand, "It's just a matter of accumulation and the results of Spirit Cuisine in the past few days. The competition is about to happen, so we can't embarrass our Class Three."

"How can this be embarrassing? You are trying to make them look embarrassed!"

Jiang Kuo clapped his thighs excitedly, "I was originally worried that Midyear Examination our class would be overwhelmed by Class Two, but now that you are in charge, Dong Feng is probably going to hit the wall."

In the afternoon of that day, Chu Bai went to Supervisor's Office for the last monthly report.

It is still the simple but majestic stone house.

Supervisor Chen is still as skinny as usual, sitting on Meditation Cushion, closing his eyes to rest.

Chu Bai respectfully handed over the Monitoring Jade Slip in his hand and said softly, "Master Supervisor, this is the monitoring data of Law Net in the past half month. The fluctuations have increased slightly recently, especially around Withered Well on the Back Mountain. There have been three weak 'node resonances' in the frequency of the spiritual breath, and the students have recorded them all."

Supervisor Chen opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes like an eagle fell on Chu Bai.

This time, he did not take Jade Slip immediately, but stared at Chu Bai for a moment, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if showing a smile that was extremely difficult to detect.

"Qi Refining Second Layer, the foundation of Zhengqing has not been lost, but has become more condensed. Not bad." Supervisor Chen's hoarse voice echoed in the stone house, "But you want to join the lineage of [Scattering Spirit Dust]?"

"If this is the case, you should be careful when entering the spiritual energy selected by the Spirit Pavilion."

During this period of time, Chu Bai came to Supervisor's Office only a few times, but Supervisor Chen was naturally able to pay attention to the speed of his progress.

According to this progress, it is not difficult to get a high ranking and get the Spirit Pavilion quota, so I am giving a reminder.

"Thank you very much for the guidance from the Supervisory School. It's just that it's still early for Dao Foundation. Students haven't thought about Dao Path yet. If you are lucky enough to get into the Spirit Pavilion this time, you should also choose a foundation like Pure-Origin Spiritual Qi to consolidate yourself."

"Yes."

After receiving the reply, Chu Bai thanked Supervisor Chen again. It was rumored that he had a weird personality, but in fact, he was not as concise and concise as he wanted, so he was not difficult to get along with.

As for the Dao Foundation[Scattering Spirit Dust] mentioned just now, it can be regarded as the path followed by many monks.

The Qi Refining stage is dominated by Pure-Origin Spiritual Qi. This is the path to attaining Dao Foundation without practicing other methods.

However, it is Miscellaneous Order, and Miscellaneous Order of the same origin is called [Primordial Origin], and Proper Order is the famous [Primordial Qi].

The foundation of the Qi Refining stage and the purity of the spiritual energy in the body can often determine the ownership of the three sequences of Dao Foundation.

If you want to obtain Proper Order, you need to obtain all the same kind of spiritual energy without any other mixture.

Supervisor Chen put away Jade Slip, and with a wave of his hand, another Dao Merit reward was credited to his account.

The wind and snow are getting tighter, and the huge Teleportation Formation has begun to be set up on Martial Training Ground.

The first real competition for the freshmen has finally begun.
