The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Yun Yao took the package out of the secret compartment with shaking hands. Her hands were shaking slightly because of nervousness and excitement. This package seemed to carry her hope of surviving in this strange world. Every movement was very careful, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

She gently unwrapped the cloth bag, and an ancient book appeared before her eyes. The paper of the ancient book had turned yellow, which was a mark left by the years. The edges of the paper were slightly curled, as if telling the long years it had experienced. A faint scent of ink emanated, which was not strong, but had a unique charm, like ancient wisdom spreading in the air. The handwriting on the ancient book was a little blurry, but it was still recognizable. Those ancient words seemed to have mysterious power, and each word was like a small rune, containing endless mysteries.

Yun Yao couldn't wait to open the ancient book, her eyes eagerly scanning the pages. Although there were many contents that she couldn't understand, the combination of those ancient words was like a mess for her who had just arrived in this world, but she knew that this was a rare opportunity. This ancient book was like a mysterious key, and perhaps it could open the door to her counterattack in this world.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded in her mind: "Congratulations to the host for completing the task, and you will be rewarded with a basic cultivation method." This voice was like the sound of nature, echoing in Yun Yao's mind. A ray of light flashed, and a secret book of cultivation methods emitting a soft light appeared in Yun Yao's hand. The texture of the paper of the secret book of cultivation methods was different from that of ancient books. It was tougher and exuded a fresh breath, as if it contained endless vitality. The handwriting on the secret book was clear and neat, and each word seemed to be written with spiritual power, emitting a faint halo.

Yun Yao tightly grasped the secret manual of martial arts, her heart filled with joy. She knew that she finally had the capital to gain a foothold in this world. This was not just a secret manual of martial arts, but also her hope to change her fate. Her mind began to imagine her future in this world, no longer the princess who was bullied by others, but a person with strong strength who could dominate her own destiny.

Yun Yao carefully examined the secret book of the technique in her hand. She found that there were some complex patterns drawn on the cover of the secret book. Those patterns looked like some ancient formations, or like mysterious biological forms, with smooth and dynamic lines, as if they would jump out of the cover at any time. She gently opened the first page of the secret book, and the name of the technique was written on it - "Spiritual Source Body Tempering Technique". This name sounded full of mysterious power, and Yun Yao secretly looked forward to the magic of this technique.

The opening chapter of the secret book details the basic principles of cultivation. Yun Yao read it word by word, and she understood that in this world, the human body is like a small universe, containing endless potential. And spiritual energy is the basic energy of this world. It exists in every corner between heaven and earth, just like the air in the modern world. Practitioners need to guide the spiritual energy in their bodies to flow along specific meridians, just like guiding a river to flow in a river channel, in order to achieve the purpose of tempering the body. This process is like forging iron. Through continuous tempering, the body becomes tougher, so that it can accommodate more spiritual energy and improve its own strength.

Yun Yao continued reading and found that the method also mentioned the attributes of spiritual energy. There are five basic attributes of spiritual energy: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Different attributes of spiritual energy have different characteristics and functions. Some attributes of spiritual energy are suitable for attack, while others are suitable for defense or treatment. During the practice, practitioners may sense spiritual energy of different attributes, which depends on the practitioner's own physique and talent. Yun Yao secretly guessed in her heart which attribute of spiritual energy she would sense. She hoped that she could have a strong attribute so that she would have a better chance of winning when facing the enemy.

After understanding the basic principles, Yun Yao began to study the cultivation methods of the Body Tempering Realm. The secret book describes in detail the various stages of the Body Tempering Realm and the goals to be achieved in each stage. The Body Tempering Realm is divided into three stages: the initial stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. The initial stage is mainly to guide the spiritual energy into the meridians and open up some basic meridian channels; the middle stage is to use the spiritual energy to temper the various organs of the body to make them stronger; the late stage is to integrate the various parts of the body into a perfect whole and reach the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. Yun Yao knows that she has just started and there is still a long way to go before she can reach the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, but she is not discouraged, but full of fighting spirit.

Yun Yao knew that if she wanted to survive in this world, she had to master this skill as soon as possible. She began to follow the instructions in the secret book and tried to feel the spiritual energy around her. She closed her eyes, calmed down, and tried to spread her consciousness to capture the spiritual energy floating in the air. At first, she felt it was very difficult. The spiritual energy was like a naughty elf, difficult to capture. Her consciousness was like an invisible net. Every time she felt that she was about to capture the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy slipped away from the net like a slippery fish.

But Yun Yao did not give up. She tried again and again. She thought of her own tenacity in the face of difficulties in the modern world. Whether it was academic difficulties or setbacks in life, she never gave up easily. She adjusted her breathing to make her mind calmer, like a deep lake. She focused her attention, excluded all distracting thoughts from her mind, and focused only on feeling the aura around her.

Finally, during one of her attempts, she vaguely felt a faint spiritual energy beating at her fingertips. Although this spiritual energy was weak, it gave Yun Yao great confidence. She was like a traveler who had been groping in the dark for a long time and finally saw a ray of light, her heart was full of hope. This spiritual energy was like a seed, planting her love and persistence for cultivation in her heart.

Yun Yao was not satisfied with this small achievement. She knew she still had a long way to go. She continued to try to feel the spiritual energy around her and tried to introduce more spiritual energy into her body. She followed the method in the secret book and guided the spiritual energy along a specific meridian. This process was like walking on a tightrope. You need to be very careful. Once the spiritual energy deviates from the meridian, it may cause harm to the body.

Yun Yao carefully controlled the flow of spiritual energy. She felt the spiritual energy flowing slowly through her meridians, like a warm stream. When this stream passed through some acupuncture points, it would produce a slight tingling sensation, but this tingling sensation was not strong. Instead, it made her feel that her body was undergoing some changes. Her body was like a dry piece of land, and the spiritual energy was like rainwater that moistened the land. Every drop was greedily absorbed by her body.

As the spiritual energy flowed through her meridians, Yun Yao found that her perception of the surrounding environment became more acute. She could hear sounds from farther away, and those sounds that were originally too subtle to be heard were now clearly transmitted to her ears. She could feel the direction of the flow of spiritual energy in the air, just like being able to see the trajectory of the wind. Her vision also became clearer, and she could even see the veins on the leaves in the distance.

Yun Yao knew that this was the benefit of cultivation, and she was more determined to continue on the path of cultivation. She continued to immerse herself in the state of cultivation, forgetting the passage of time. She didn't know how long she had been sitting in this room, she only knew that she had to constantly improve her strength and gain a foothold in this world full of dangers and challenges.

During the practice, Yun Yao also encountered some problems. Sometimes, she would feel tired because of over-concentration, and then she would stop to rest for a while and adjust her state. Sometimes, she would find that the spiritual energy was not flowing smoothly in the meridians, and then she would re-examine her practice method to see if there was anything wrong. She was like a brave explorer, constantly exploring in the unknown field of practice, looking for the practice path that suits her best.

After a period of practice, Yun Yao's understanding of the "Spiritual Source Body Tempering Technique" has become more and more profound. She found that this technique is not just a simple way to guide the spiritual energy to temper the body, but also contains some deep philosophical principles. For example, in the process of guiding the spiritual energy to run, you need to maintain a peaceful state of mind, just like in modern society people need to maintain inner peace to better cope with various pressures. For example, in the process of practice, you need to constantly adjust your breathing rhythm, just like you need to arrange your own rhythm reasonably in life, not too fast or too slow.

Yun Yao realized that this technique was not only a tool to improve her strength, but also a way to cultivate her character. She began to integrate the practice into her daily life. Whether she was walking, eating, or sleeping, she would always keep in touch with the spiritual energy. Her life became more regular, and her state of mind became more peaceful. She was no longer as impetuous and uneasy as when she first crossed over to this world, but was full of confidence and calmness.

As she practiced the technique more deeply, Yun Yao also began to try some higher-level practice techniques. She found that in the process of guiding the flow of spiritual energy, if she could integrate her will into the spiritual energy, she could make the spiritual energy flow more obediently according to her will. She began to try to control the flow speed and direction of the spiritual energy with her will. This was a very difficult process, but Yun Yao relied on her perseverance and wisdom to slowly master this technique.

The mastery of this technique has significantly improved Yun Yao's training speed. She can guide the spiritual energy into her body more efficiently and make it flow more smoothly through her meridians. Her body has also been better tempered in the process, and her strength, speed and endurance have been greatly improved. She can easily lift heavy objects that were difficult to move before, and her running speed is much faster than before, and she will not feel tired even after long periods of exercise.

These changes in Yun Yao did not escape the eyes of some people in the palace. Although she was practicing in her room, the changes in her aura brought about by her increased strength were still noticed by some sharp people. Especially Liu Yan'er, she had always been jealous of Yun Yao, and these changes in Yun Yao made the fire of jealousy in her heart burn even more vigorously.

However, Yun Yao was unaware of these potential dangers. She was immersed in the joy of cultivation and her vision of the future. She imagined that one day she would become the world's top powerhouse, free to roam the world without being bound by anyone. She knew she still had a long way to go, but she believed that as long as she practiced unremittingly, she would be able to realize her dream one day.

Dear readers, in this chapter, Yun Yao finally got the important prop for her counterattack in this world-cultivation technique. This is a key step for her to become stronger, just like we seize an important opportunity in life. In the process of describing Yun Yao's practice, I want to convey a positive and fearless spirit. In real life, we will also encounter various challenges, just like the difficulties Yun Yao encountered in practice, but as long as we persevere, we will be able to overcome difficulties and make progress. At the same time, Yun Yao's understanding of the technique in the process of practice is not only limited to improving strength, but also involves self-cultivation. This is also a concept I want to express. I hope that everyone can focus on inner growth in the process of pursuing their goals. I hope you like the content of this chapter, and I look forward to your continued attention to Yun Yao's counterattack journey!
