Revelation of the Way of Heaven

After Han Kexin explained the reason for the Seven Star Lamp's life-extending effect, Qin Xiaochuan asked, "Where are we going to find the Seven Star Lamp? And in ten days we'll be starting our elective course in Spiritual Studies."

Han Kexin said calmly, "I don't know where the Seven Star Lamp is now either, so I can only go and check first. As for your spiritual power, you can only rely on your diligent cultivation in the next few days to try to break through to level 2 of spiritual power in ten days."

"Cultivation?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at Han Kexin with anticipation, then said excitedly, "Is it like in the novels, where you give me an ancient cultivation manual, and I cultivate according to it, and before long, I will become the strongest person in the universe?"

"You're overthinking it," Han Kexin said coldly again. "Our Blood Witch Clan's cultivation methods are not exactly the same, so I don't have any secret manuals for you."

"Then how am I supposed to cultivate?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, looking disappointed.

Han Kexin didn't care about his disappointment at all, and still said coldly, "The reason I let you choose the Department of Spiritual Studies is because you can learn human cultivation methods in the Department of Spiritual Studies, but don't make it that complicated now. What you need to do now is very simple, just keep releasing spiritual power and keep consuming physical energy."

"Holy crap, what kind of cultivation is this?" He looked at her in disbelief; this cultivation method sounded incredibly simple and brutal.

"This is a cultivation method. You'll find out the specific reasons when you enter the Department of Spiritual Studies. For now, you just need to do as I say." Han Kexin's voice was icy, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Okay, I understand." Qin Xiaochuan nodded helplessly. Although this cultivation method was simple and direct, it was still good to exercise the body properly.

Seeing that he agreed so easily, Han Kexin glanced at him before coldly saying, "You must listen carefully to what I'm saying. I'm talking about constantly consuming spiritual energy and physical strength. In other words, apart from the time you spend in class, eating, and sleeping, you must engage in these two cultivation practices whenever you have free time."

"What?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at her incredulously. What a joke! If what she said was true, not to mention the constant drain on spiritual energy, just the constant drain on physical energy was enough to kill him.

"I can't do it. I'm not a robot, how could I?" he answered decisively.

Han Kexin snorted coldly and said, "Who was it that just now said that he would do whatever I asked him to do, and that he would never have any disloyal intentions?"

He was momentarily speechless. This was probably a case of shooting himself in the foot. But it was too late to take it back now. Thinking of this, he looked at Han Kexin with a wistful expression and said, "I always thought that no matter what I said, you wouldn't take it to heart. Why did you remember this sentence?"

Qin Xiaochuan originally intended to make a sarcastic remark, thinking it was questionable whether she would even listen to it given her personality. However, he didn't expect that when he finished speaking, Han Kexin's expression would visibly freeze for a moment. Although it was only for a split second, it was quite noticeable on her perpetually icy face.

But after a moment she reverted to her cold demeanor and said, "You're overthinking it." Then she added, "Now you can do it, right?"

"Okay!" Qin Xiaochuan agreed, not caring, because he knew that after leaving this place, the other party would no longer be able to control him, and how he cultivated would be entirely his own business.

Seeing that he had agreed, Han Kexin said, "Then take this with you."

Before Qin Xiaochuan could understand what she meant, a black object suddenly flew out of her hand and landed on his shoulder.

Qin Xiaochuan turned his head to look at his shoulder and saw a beetle the size of a thumb. The beetle had a hard horn on its head that was almost as long as its body, making it look rather majestic and imposing.

"What is this?" he asked, puzzled.

"This is a rhinoceros beetle. If you carry it with you, it will supervise your cultivation. If you slack off even slightly during these ten days, it will remind you in its own way."

"What method?" he asked quickly.

Han Kexin gave a cold laugh, then said in a gloomy tone, "You can try it, it's worth the experience. And don't even think about catching it, because it's definitely more difficult to deal with than you imagine."

Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but swallow, finally realizing that he had indeed been too naive; this woman in front of him was not someone to be easily fooled.

He smiled at her and said, "I think we should forget about it. It's too inconvenient to carry around such a bug, and if the girls see it, would they dare to come near me? Don't worry, I will definitely cultivate well even without supervision."

Han Kexin gave him a cold look and said, "Do you think you'll have time to pick up girls these next few days? Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself and don't slack off, it won't cause you any trouble."

The rhinoceros beetle crawled from Qin Xiaochuan's shoulder into his pocket, and he couldn't refuse, so he asked her, "You want me to expend my spiritual energy, but how am I supposed to do that?"

"Haven't you already learned how to inject spiritual energy into the spirit-testing stone? Actually, this is just consuming spiritual energy. In the next few days, you just need to keep expelling the spiritual energy from your body."

"There's actually such a bizarre way to cultivate," he thought to himself, but still obediently agreed aloud.

He then asked Han Kexin a few more questions before she coldly said, "Alright, you can go back now. I'll contact you once I find news of the Seven Star Lamp."

He nodded, said nothing more, and then took Zhou Bin's taxi back to school.

As for what followed, it was a history of blood and tears for Qin Xiaochuan.

Whenever he mentions this period, Qin Xiaochuan first thinks of the military training a month before the start of the semester. Before that, he always felt that the first few days of military training were simply torture for his body, but after those few days of training, he realized how easy those days were.

As soon as he finished class (he only had two and a half classes a day on average), he would rush to the school gym and then spend almost the entire day exercising to exhaust himself. When he was finally able to rest, he would continue to release his spiritual energy.

Don't think that releasing spiritual energy is an easy thing. In fact, it is no easier than physical exercise. The feeling of consuming a lot of spiritual energy is like finishing all the exam papers in one day. You have no energy at all and just want to close your eyes and get a good night's sleep.

In short, these past few days of cultivation have been a double torment of both body and mind.

Under this abnormal training, he wanted to stop and rest many times, but every time he stopped, the rhinoceros beetle in his pocket would immediately climb up his clothes and onto his back, and then start scratching his back with its claws.

As for the feeling of being scratched, it's not just about pain. It feels like ants biting a wound, both painful and itchy, and you can't scratch it, because scratching doesn't help. It's simply unbearable.

After being scratched by a rhinoceros beetle a few times, whenever he felt it crawling in his pocket, he would immediately become incredibly energetic and train like crazy. In the end, everyone in the gym thought he was insane.

It must be said that Qin Xiaochuan has made great progress after these few days of training, especially in terms of physique. His strength, speed and agility have improved significantly.

He knew that this was because his human soul was relatively strong, which was why there was such a noticeable effect.

At the same time, because his Heavenly Soul Power was relatively weak, his spiritual power, which he cared about most, could never reach level 2.
