In the northern outskirts of Nuoding City, outside an ordinary little town.
An ordinary little wooden hut!
This was the town's Spirit Hall. Usually, no one came here, but now it happened to serve as Link's lodging for the night.
He had no money for an inn and did not want to sleep on the streets, so he could only borrow the Spirit Hall.
However, Link had not felt particularly sleepy. He was waiting for midnight to pass so he could perform his second sign-in.
Of course, he had not been idle either.
He still had to practice the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill.
With his current physical talent, his progress in cultivating this divine skill was truly astonishingly fast.
This was a divine skill that cultivated both the internal and the external!
Compared with Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, it was on an entirely different level.
Cultivated to its pinnacle, it could turn the flesh into vajra, forming a three-foot aura around the body that no art could penetrate.
Even Tang San's Plate Crystal Golden Dragon Whisker Needles, specifically designed to pierce protective energy, were child's play before the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill.
"Good stuff. This really is good stuff!"
"Time to train!"
Link began cultivating tirelessly.
Having shared Xiao Wu's talent, Link truly experienced completely different results when he cultivated.
Previously, when he cultivated, his body had been like a single-cylinder engine on the verge of being scrapped. Now, it felt rather like a rocket engine, and his cultivation improved as though he were riding a rocket.
What a rush!
By the time Link finished cultivating, midnight had long since passed.
"Sign-in!"
The next moment, golden text flashed past.
[Congratulations on signing in and receiving the Great Dream Heart Sutra at perfection!]
At the sight of that line of golden text, delight had barely begun to appear on Link's face before he felt countless streams of information surge into his mind.
The vast flood of information poured in all at once. Link's brain instantly crashed, and his eyes rolled back as he passed out.
There was too much information, and his brain entered a state of self-protection.
He slept through the entire night.
As Link lay unconscious, it seemed as though decades passed in his mind. Those decades consisted entirely of experience cultivating the Great Dream Heart Sutra. The moment he awoke, all of it became his experience of the perfected Great Dream Heart Sutra, fully assimilated and mastered.
"This is good stuff!"
The perfected Great Dream Heart Sutra gave Link's spiritual power a terrifying boost.
When a Soul Master absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, enduring the terrifying Soul Power flooding their body was only the first hurdle. The most terrifying trial was the Soul Shock produced by the resentment of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
And this so-called Soul Shock was actually a test of the strength of a Soul Master's spiritual power.
With the Great Dream Heart Sutra, the strength of Link's spiritual power was assured.
"System, I misjudged you!"
Link felt that he really had misjudged the system.
His first sign-in, the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill, had provided assurance for his physical body.
This sign-in, the Great Dream Heart Sutra, provided assurance for his spirit.
Two sign-ins had forged a solid foundation for his future growth.
A system like this was simply wonderful!
Of course, gaining the perfected Great Dream Heart Sutra did more than strengthen Link's spiritual power. It also gave him mastery over numerous secret spiritual arts.
The secret spiritual techniques produced by Tang San's Purple Demon Eye were still the little brother before the Great Dream Heart Sutra.
Besides that, Link no longer needed to invite potential Chat Group members face-to-face.
He could meet them in their dreams.
This undoubtedly increased his personal safety.
Seeing that it was still early and the town's residents had yet to get up, Link quickly tidied up and hurried out of the Spirit Hall's crude wooden hut, chewing on dry rations as he traveled.
Although he could meet potential Chat Group members in dreams, the prerequisite was that he had to find them and meet them face-to-face first.
So he still had to go to Heaven Dou City.
Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.
Xiao Wu also woke from her dreams, and once awake, she likewise quickly chose to sign in.
Xiao Wu, who had received the Soul Ring Evolution Gift Pack on her first sign-in, obtained a cultivation method this time as well: the Moonlight Spirit-Concentrating Art.
Xiao Wu's second Soul Skill was a spiritual Soul Skill, Charm.
But if her spiritual power was lower than her target's, Charm would not only fail to work, but could even backlash against her.
The Moonlight Spirit-Concentrating Art was a cultivation method for training spiritual power, making it highly suitable for her.
Xiao Wu: "Link, I got a spiritual cultivation method from signing in. What did you get?"
After learning the Moonlight Spirit-Concentrating Art, Xiao Wu immediately began calling for Link in the Chat Group.
Link: "Not telling you!"
Xiao Wu: "Why?"
Link: "I'd advise you not to go telling everyone about these things either!"
Xiao Wu: "Why?"
Link: "You might as well die of stupidity!"
After saying that, Link stopped paying attention to the Chat Group. He was still in a hurry to get moving.
His luck was very good. Not long after leaving the town, Link encountered a merchant caravan at a fork in the road.
The caravan was not heading to Heaven Dou City, but it was going to Barak City, a major city along the route to Heaven Dou City.
With just a little use of the Great Dream Heart Sutra's hypnotic methods, Link successfully joined the caravan and traveled with it toward Barak City.
Along the way, Link also solved his food and lodging problems.
Sitting in a carriage, Link did not idle away his time, but seized the opportunity to cultivate.
He could not practice the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill, but he could cultivate the Great Dream Heart Sutra.
Although the Great Dream Heart Sutra was already perfected, it was a cultivation method focused on spiritual power. Every cultivation session could make Link's spiritual power more condensed and more powerful.
While Link was busy cultivating, Xiao Wu kept talking in the Chat Group.
It was not until nightfall that Link opened the Chat Group interface. Seeing Xiao Wu's flood of messages, he rolled his eyes and considered giving her a muting package.
As it turned out, despite being the Group Leader, he actually had no authority to mute anyone.
"Xiao Wu, do you really want to save your mother?"
"With your innate full Soul Power aptitude, you've spent over four years in the human world, yet you're only a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Link sent those two messages in succession, and Xiao Wu instantly fell silent on the other end.
At the Soul Master Academy, Xiao Wu looked at Link's words and sank into silence.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I've let you down!"
Xiao Wu cried in distress.
Not far away, Tang San saw Xiao Wu suddenly squat on the ground and burst into loud sobs. He unleashed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track footwork and reached her in the blink of an eye.
"Xiao Wu, who bullied you?"
"Tell me. I'll get revenge for you!"
Tang San was very agitated.
He had sworn that he would protect Xiao Wu and never let anyone hurt her.
But now, Xiao Wu was crying so bitterly that she must have suffered a terrible grievance, yet he knew nothing about it. He was far too negligent as her older brother!
"Go away!"
Not only did Xiao Wu fail to appreciate Tang San's concern, she only found him annoying.
She blamed Tang San for all her lack of ambition.
That's right, it was all Tang San's fault!
If it weren't for Tang San, I would definitely have been cultivating diligently.
