Blonde Little Girl in the Library

"What are you reading?"

A crisp voice rang out beside Lin Feng's ear, accompanied by a faint Fragrant Wind.

"A book."

Lin Feng replied without turning around. At this moment, finding a method for his future cultivation was his highest priority.

Qian Renxue frowned. She had actually been observing Lin Feng for a long time. Over the past year, this guy had come to the Library every day, always sitting in the same spot.

The only thing that changed was the book in his hands. After playing the scarecrow for an entire year, it was impossible for Lin Feng to avoid drawing attention.

Qian Renxue was somewhat annoyed by Lin Feng's indifference. In her seven years of life, aside from her mother, no one had ever spoken to her in such a tone.

Does this guy not even know to turn around and look at me? Hmph.

Smack!

Qian Renxue slapped the table.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Shouldn't you look at me when you answer? Learn some manners, understand?"

Lin Feng helplessly turned his head to look at her, a flash of surprise passing through his eyes.

He sized Qian Renxue up and secretly sighed. As expected of the future Angel God—one could already see hints of her peerless elegance to come.

Her long golden hair cascaded down, and her delicate cheeks carried a rosy blush. She wore a short gold-and-white gauze dress.

Her round eyes held a trace of playful cuteness, yet she also exuded an aura of nobility and holiness.

But why was she here? And why did it seem like she had come specifically to find him?

"Alright, miss. I'm reading."

With that, he lowered his head and continued reading the material in his hands, taking notes.

Qian Renxue, who had been feeling a little pleased upon seeing the admiration in Lin Feng's eyes: ...

What was this feeling of wanting to speak but being unable to? Reading, reading—was that what she had asked him to answer? She wanted him to tell her what kind of book it was!

"Possibilities for Improving the Meditation Method, Part Six?"

Qian Renxue sat down beside Lin Feng and softly read the title of his notes.

"Hey! Lin Feng, let's get acquainted. My name is Xiao Xue."

"You investigated me?"

Qian Renxue froze. Seeing Lin Feng's utterly calm expression, she became a little uneasy. Waving her hands, she hurriedly explained.

"No, it's not that! You come here to study every day, and lots of people here know your name. I didn't investigate you at all!"

Lin Feng set down his pen and looked at the flustered Qian Renxue with some amusement.

"Mm, I'm not angry. It's just that I don't think I've seen you at the academy before?"

"Oh, um, one of my elders is a high-ranking official at Spirit Hall, so they didn't send me to the academy.

You love studying so much, so you should know that everything taught at the Primary Academy can be learned at home."

Lin Feng nodded. He did not care about Qian Renxue's concealment. After all, with Innate Soul Power at level twenty, it made sense for her to lie low for a while in the early stages.

"I see. Then did you come to the Library to read too? The bookshelves are over there. If you can't find a book, you can ask that older sister at the counter over there."

Qian Renxue's breath stalled. What was this guy talking about? She had already come and sat beside him—it was obvious she had come to find him! Was this guy made of wood?

So she firmly pressed her right hand onto Lin Feng's shoulder, puffed out her cheeks, and threatened him fiercely.

"I said, I came to find you and see what you were researching. Do you understand now?"

"It hurts, it hurts! I get it, let go already!"

"Hmph."

Lin Feng rubbed his aching shoulder and looked helplessly at Qian Renxue. He actually had not wanted to come into contact with her this early, but there was nothing bad about it either.

"What do you want to know?"

Qian Renxue curled her lips, crossed her arms before her chest, and huffed.

"Tell me everything about yourself!"

"The route Soul Power travels through the body? I already know that." Qian Renxue proudly raised her head, her expression seeming to say: Praise me, praise me.

"It's different. What I mean is having Soul Power flow through the Human Body Meridian Diagram along fixed paths, driving the enhancement of the body, the growth of the physical body, and the speed at which Soul Power is absorbed.

Not the ordinary method, where you simply guide Soul Power whenever you need to use it. Every spirit master knows that, right?"

Qian Renxue was briefly speechless. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear to hide her embarrassment.

"Is that so? What use would it have specifically?"

Lin Feng took out a Human Body Meridian Diagram.

"Look, the human body contains all kinds of Acupoints and Meridians. When spirit masters release soul skills, their Soul Power actually surges through their bodies. The Meridians are the riverbeds through which Soul Power flows.

When releasing soul skills, a spirit master's abilities and physical qualities are greatly enhanced.

If that is the case, then in my opinion, the most crucial step in extracting and transforming Soul Power lies in its circulation within the body.

If we can create a method with a specific Soul Power circulation route, then spirit master cultivation will undergo another revolution.

Just imagine it: Soul Power circulating through the body, driving the growth of one's physical constitution, removing accumulated impurities from the body, and accelerating the absorption and conversion of Soul Power.

Going a step further, it could allow Soul Power to develop its own traits, make Self-Created Soul Skills easier to create, and so on. That is what I'm researching right now."

Watching Lin Feng speak endlessly, Qian Renxue curled her lips. She had thought this guy had produced some earth-shattering research over the past year. Wasn't this far too unrealistic?

She began to advise him earnestly.

"You? If something that the predecessors of thousands upon thousands of years failed to discover could be researched by you, then wouldn't that be absurd? You'd be better off focusing on cultivation."

Lin Feng interrupted her.

"Since you've looked into me, then you should know my Innate Soul Power Level, right?"

Qian Renxue became a little embarrassed. Was it really appropriate to expose someone's weakness in front of them?

"Um, I heard it's level one! That's just what I heard from others! It's actually not too bad—you can still cultivate, so don't be too upset."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

"I'm not upset. My current Soul Power Level is six!"

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes widened, and she blurted out instinctively.

"That's impossible!"

It was an acknowledged fact in the Spirit Master World that Innate Soul Power Level was directly proportional to cultivation speed. With her level twenty Innate Soul Power, even excluding the three-level increase from adding a soul ring, she had only gained five levels over the past year.

How could Lin Feng's talent possibly accomplish such a thing?

"Whether it's true or not, come feel it for yourself."

As he spoke, Lin Feng extended his right hand.

Qian Renxue looked at the palm before her and hesitated slightly. Aside from her father and Several Grandfathers, no other male had ever touched her.

Seeing the smiling boy before her, Qian Renxue felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"Hmph, what does this young lady have to be afraid of?"

The next moment, a warm, delicate touch reached Lin Feng's hand. Qian Renxue's soft little hand was very comfortable to hold, and unconsciously, he traced a line across her palm.

"You! Don't move around!"

A faint blush spread across Qian Renxue's cheeks. She glared at Lin Feng. Instead of merely covering his hand, she directly gripped his right hand tightly.

"Hiss—"

"Hmph."

After sensing carefully, a look of shock appeared on Qian Renxue's face.

"It's actually true? How did you do it?!"

In her excitement, Qian Renxue loosened her grip. Without even withdrawing her little hand, she leaned forward and asked Lin Feng.

Lin Feng glanced at their still-clasped hands and smiled.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm researching this. Right now, I've already achieved some preliminary results."

Please give me some recommendations, dear readers.
