South Palace Lingyun's newly formed innate True Yang energy, in terms of quality, was almost on par with Angel Yan's substantial soul power, which had undergone multiple evolutions, enhancements, and purifications.
It should be noted that Yan was different from other ordinary titled individuals or extreme limits in this era. Shortly after summoning, he had successfully condensed his soul core under Diao Chan's guidance.
At this point, South Palace Lingyun had only just started cultivating. His true energy was immature and weak, far from the true essence of True Yang.
But with continued cultivation, his energy would undoubtedly continue to evolve and enhance.
However, much like Tang San's martial arts inner strength, it had not yet transcended the restrictions of the world and dimensional rules of the Soul Master realm. Every ten levels granted a soul ring and a title.
Additionally, because the True Yang energy had forcefully purged or completely converted all of Lingyun's original soul power, his level had reverted to a pitiable level one.
However, this level one was dozens of times stronger than his previous level of twelve and a half.
The potential for improvement was boundless.
The most basic benefit was that innate true energy, regardless of its attributes, came with an extreme amplification ability.
When the true energy exploded, it would elevate all of the body's strength, attributes, and abilities to their highest, maximum, and strongest potential, based on the intensity and direction of the explosion.
This included life-threatening moves like the Sky Demon Disintegration, which gathered all available energy and could result in death or crippling injury. Now, amplification-type soul skills and soul masters had essentially become useless to him.
...
There is an ancient saying: A gentleman hides his talents and waits for the right moment to act.
Another ancient saying goes: A hidden dragon should not act; its sun is below.
South Palace Lingyun was always quite good at enduring solitude, or rather, when he focused entirely on something, he even enjoyed it.
When it came to cultivation, which had clear visible progress and a promising future, he felt even more this way.
After his initiation into the Longevity Technique, for the past two years, South Palace Lingyun had been diligently training his body at 6:00 a.m. each morning, facing the rising sun. At noon, he read ancient books like the I Ching, Tao Te Ching, Huangdi Neijing, and Huangdi Yinfu Jing, which helped him understand the Longevity Technique.
In the afternoon and evening, he devoted himself to comprehending and refining the Longevity Technique itself.
Day after day, without fail, as if he never got tired.
He didn't know if heaven would let down those who worked hard, but he was certain that it would never fail those who were "hacked" into success.
...
In the early morning, the rising sun was like a shy young girl, hiding behind the clouds on the horizon, slowly revealing half of her red cheek.
Nearby, in a mansion split into three sections in front and behind, South Palace Lingyun cupped his hands into a semi-sphere and aimed them at the faucet, splashing water onto his face.
Beside him, Xiao Wu, more graceful, wiped her face with a damp towel.
Because his daily training often attracted the curiosity, observation, and shock of many classmates, especially when it caught the attention of certain individuals, he decisively moved out of Dorm Seven.
And that foolish rabbit truly deserved the title.
Before South Palace Lingyun had even thought of a reason to lie, after taking a brief tour of the mansion, she immediately proposed that they move in together.
Xiao Wu even felt like she had struck a great deal, thinking of him as a kind, generous person with a pure heart.
This situation was ridiculous.
What man could refuse such an innocent and easily deceived girl?
And she was beautiful, a little loli, and even had the ability to turn into a rabbit.
He casually mentioned a few modest conditions, and before long, agreed "reluctantly."
Seeing his goddess bouncing happily into a rich man's mansion, tossing aside the sandbag and weighted clothing, then happily changing into a cute bunny suit and admiring herself in the mirror, South Palace Lingyun had a bewildered expression and muttered:"It's just a few days off, is it really that big of a deal?"
Nearby, Angel Yan chuckled.
"What do you think?"
In a fantasy world, where power is paramount and strength is revered, diligent cultivators were not rare.
But people like South Palace Lingyun, who used every minute of their 24-hour day to its fullest, were few and far between.
After two consecutive years of relentless effort, he was almost unparalleled.
After hearing Angel Yan's words, South Palace Lingyun suddenly felt a little lost in thought.
His gaze swept over the walls of the courtyard, where slogans were posted:"Youthful years wasted, regret will come when old."
"Why sleep for too long in life when death will make you rest forever?"
"An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time!"
Suddenly, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Once, when he was a student, he always looked forward to the end of school, weekends, and holidays.
But when one reaches middle age, suddenly struck by the bullet fired in youth, crossing time and space to hit and kill, one suddenly realizes the cruel truths hidden in those seemingly simple words.
