"Heh, a Psionic Block. First time seeing one in person, right?" Shen Xinghai smiled, though he looked pained and reluctant to part with it.
"You lucky brat. Old Shen's treasured this one for ages. A Psionic Block can be converted into energy inside your body, speeding up your cultivation. This single block is equivalent to half a month, or even a full month, of visualizing the Blasphemer's Diagram."
Jian Fang eyed it enviously. "And it can purify the energy in your body, too. It's much better than absorbing spiritual energy straight from the air."
"Give it a try."
Jian Fang was curious.
Shen Xinghai couldn't help swallowing, then said with a broad smile, "Every Awakened absorbs Psionic Blocks at a different rate. Some people take a whole day, and plenty of energy leaks away during the process. Some geniuses are highly efficient at absorbing them. Like me."
"I can absorb a Psionic Block in an hour, with an absorption efficiency as high as 50%."
"Old Jian takes three hours, and his absorption efficiency is only 20%."
"Chief Instructor Yang takes half an hour, with an absorption efficiency of 82%. That used to be classified, but after the Chief Instructor reached Sequence 6, there weren't many people capable of killing him anymore, so it stopped being a secret."
"Of course, those at higher Sequences generally have higher absorption efficiencies."
"Normally, everyone would be tested in a week. But since I promised to give you this block, consider this an early trial run. Don't be nervous."
Countless thoughts ran through Xu Ye's mind.
He had absorbed a dark energy block before, and it had been fast. It had vanished almost in the blink of an eye, but he had never tried a Psionic Block.
He wondered whether there was any difference between
