Chapter 11 is a bit of a waste for Xiao Wu.
Seeing his little darling looking so exhausted, Jiang Ci'an didn't expose her little scheme. Instead, he readily picked up a cup from the stone table beside him.
This is a cultivation supplement that he successfully formulated after testing the medicinal properties on Tang San dozens of times.
The medicine is mild and easily absorbed, making it perfect for replenishing the body's nutrients after intense training.
"There's no need to push yourself to the limit every time," Jiang Ci'an said softly as he handed the supplement to Xiao Xiao.
"Practice slowly, after all, too much of anything is bad, and you can't rush it."
"I know..."
As Xiao Xiao spoke, she took a sip of the supplement.
Feeling the easily absorbed medicinal power of the supplement being naturally absorbed by the "Body Tempering Method" running in her body, Xiao Xiao felt a warm sensation throughout her body and breathed a long sigh of relief. Her body, which was leaning against Jiang Ci'an, became even softer.
She closed her eyes, her voice soft and gentle, yet with a hint of seriousness.
"...I just don't want to fall too far behind you."
She also possesses innate full soul power, and even has twin martial souls, plus she obtained her soul ring a month earlier than Jiang Ci'an.
As a result, after half a year, she had just broken through to level 15, while Jiang Ci'an had already broken through to level 16 for some time.
She wasn't jealous; she just felt she was letting herself down.
Xiao Xiao: (⩌⤚⩌)
Seeing Xiao Xiao's sullen face again, Jiang Ci'an's gaze softened.
My childhood sweetheart is like this: although she looks small and delicate, she is easily shy in front of strangers and hides behind him.
But in reality, Xiao Xiao is stubborn and never easily admits defeat. She will try her best to do everything as well as possible.
And this naturally includes spiritual practice.
He smiled and said gently, "Take your time. You have twin martial souls. Once you're officially titled, that's when you'll have a period of rapid improvement. By then, I might not even be improving as fast as you..."
Xiao Xiao blinked, and then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes flickered and revealed a strange fighting spirit, which made her drink the supplement faster.
Jiang Ci'an smiled. Although he didn't know what strange things his little childhood sweetheart was imagining again, he knew that he had managed to comfort her.
Looking at the girl's rosy cheeks, flushed with the healthy glow of her recent workout, the wisps of heat rising naturally from her fair skin, and the undeniable youthful vitality, Jiang Ci'an silently made plans in his mind.
"Martial arts" is only just beginning, and currently, its potential is not high.
The current "body tempering method" essentially involves mobilizing soul power. While absorbing and tempering soul power, it washes over specific acupoints at a special frequency, thereby strengthening the physical body from the inside out.
In the past six months, thanks to the "Body Tempering Method," his soul power cultivation has increased from level twelve after his breakthrough to level sixteen.
At this rate, it is expected that he will reach level 20 in another six to eight months. At the same time, his physical strength will be able to support him in absorbing the millennium soul ring.
Xiao Xiao started learning the "Body Tempering Method" a little later than him, but she has only recently broken through to level 15. However, it is expected that she will reach level 20 in another eight to ten months and will be qualified to absorb a thousand-year soul ring.
Everything seemed to be going very well, but unfortunately, all of this was only in the initial stages.
The "Body Tempering Method" is highly efficient, partly because the cultivation level is still low, so improvement is naturally faster, and partly because body tempering is most effective in the early stages.
However, once it enters the later stages, the "Body Tempering Method" will inevitably become ineffective and will not be able to maintain such a rate of progress indefinitely.
Therefore, he needs to continue exploring.
To be honest, he really wants to see that Electrolux now. If he can get the complete Throne of Gods Knight system from him, his "Martial Arts" might be completed much faster.
Unfortunately, it's just a thought.
Once he successfully acquires that Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, he might be able to try his luck in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Jiang Ci'an shook his head, deciding not to think about it too much.
Although he couldn't get his hands on the Knight system for the time being, he wasn't without other options, given his control over the virtual world.
He already has an idea.
This line of thinking is a bit too much for Xiao Wu...
……
……
After resting with Xiao Xiao for a while, Jiang Ci'an stood up, walked to the spot where Xiao Xiao had been standing, and turned to look at Xiao Xiao again.
"bring it on."
Xiao Xiao understood, raised his hand and summoned the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons. Without hesitation, all three cauldrons appeared and hung above Jiang Ci'an's head, with black ripples pouring down.
This can be considered a tacit understanding between the two of them as they cultivate together.
Xiao Xiao used this opportunity to practice controlling her martial soul, while Jiang Ci'an took the opportunity to cultivate the "Body Tempering Method" to improve his physique and soul power.
However, compared to Xiao Xiao's slightly hesitant movements, Jiang Ci'an was clearly more skilled.
His movements were unhurried and fluid, without the slightest sign of strain. His stance was steady, and his opening and closing of his palms conveyed a sense of effortless ease, as if the pressure from the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron above his head was nothing to him.
The two continued their practice until sunset.
Afterwards, the two sat down at the stone table in the backyard and ate a meal of soul beast meat ordered from a restaurant on the street.
This energy-rich ingredient is carefully selected to satisfy both the palate and the body, providing essential nutrients for spiritual nourishment.
After dinner, Xiao Xiao went to the courtyard to continue her cultivation.
She summoned the small cauldron, carried it, and began a new round of training.
Jiang Ci'an watched but did not stop it.
He had been keeping a close eye on Xiao Xiao's physical condition, and the current intensity was still within her tolerance range, so there shouldn't be any problems.
If there is a real problem, he will naturally stop it.
Seeing Xiao Xiao continuing her efforts in the twilight, Jiang Ci'an naturally didn't waste any time and turned back to his room.
Sitting on the bed, closing my eyes, calming my mind, and communicating with my martial spirit, I was immediately struck by a familiar feeling of falling.
Everything around him faded away rapidly, and new scenes emerged from the void, layer upon layer, enveloping him.
Jiang Ci'an was already used to this process of entering.
Soon, the surroundings brightened, and Jiang Ci'an appeared in front of a large door.
Jiang Ci'an glanced at the four large characters "Notting Academy" on the plaque and immediately understood. Without pausing, he walked straight past the two bored guards at the entrance.
The guards continued chatting, completely unaware of the boy walking past them, their gazes never wavering.
The effect of "not caring" has long since quietly faded away.
Entering the college, passing through corridors and courtyards, Jiang Ci'an knew the way well and soon arrived at a wide open lawn.
Blue silver grass covered the ground, swaying gently in the breeze, looking from afar like a piece of smoothly laid-out silk, quite beautiful.
On the lawn stood two familiar figures.
