Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Spirit Awakening

At noon the next day, the Earth Dragon Team gathered in the canteen.

"I slept so well last night."

Xiao Yunlong took a big bite of a chicken leg, his mouth shiny with grease as he said, "I wonder what the base will arrange for us. Captain, have you heard anything?"

Qin Dadi shook his head, "I haven't received any notice yet."

"Ah, I really hope we can stay here and not be assigned any other tasks," Xiao Yunlong wished aloud.

"Have you saved enough military points?" Liu Zhaozhao asked.

"Yep, I have."

Xiao Yunlong chuckled, "Thanks to Qin Tian, I've now saved enough military points to exchange for a Black Iron Bloodline Potion. As soon as we return to Alpha 1 Star, I can receive the bloodline injection."

Upon hearing this, both Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao showed envious expressions.

With the enhancement of the Black Iron Level bloodline, Xiao Yunlong's strength will surely progress rapidly, possibly reaching Tier Four or even Tier Five in the future.

"Don't look at me like that. You two must have also saved enough military points for the Superpower Enhancement Potion, right?" Xiao Yunlong asked.

"Yes, we have."

Qin Dadi nodded and added, "But even with the Superpower Enhancement Potion, my strength won't exceed Tier Three, so I can't compare with you."

Superpower users, unlike Spiritualists, don't have a well-established cultivation system.

All superpower users can only gradually enhance their mastery of superpowers through repeated training and attempts, just like ordinary people building muscle in a gym. Growth is rapid during the initial benefit period for beginners, but as they progress, every further step becomes increasingly difficult.

This is when external help is needed—the Superpower Enhancement Potion.

The Superpower Enhancement Potion can help superpower users break through bottleneck periods and enter a second growth spurt until they encounter another bottleneck.

Every superpower user can only inject the enhancement potion twice in their lifetime.

Those with excellent talent can use these two chances to soar to Tier Four, Five, or even Six.

While those with mediocre talent will remain stagnant at Tier Two or Three.

Qin Dadi is very aware that he's not a talented person; his superpower is only average, and reaching Tier Three would already be quite satisfying in this lifetime.

"I've also saved enough. I plan to get the injection after we return," Liu Zhaozhao said.

"Hehe, that's right. Each of us has a bright future ahead," Xiao Yunlong grinned.

"Ahem~"

Just then, Qin Tian coughed gently and then nonchalantly continued to eat.

Xiao Yunlong glanced at him and suddenly realized something, quickly saying:

"Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing. Qin Tian, I'll teach you the Spirit Awakening Technique later."

Qin Tian, with food in his mouth, mumbled, "No rush."

Xiao Yunlong looked at him suspiciously, slowly raising an eyebrow:

"Did you cough on purpose just now? Just to remind me?"

Qin Tian wiped his mouth with a calm expression:

"You're thinking too much."

Xiao Yunlong seemed to have discovered something amusing and laughed:

"Haha, it definitely was. You've learned that trick now."

"Qin Tian, you're getting more and more..." Liu Zhaozhao struggled to find an appropriate word for a moment before finally saying: "...adorable."

"That's right." Qin Dadi nodded with a smile.

Qin Tian: ...

Adorable?

What the ghost!

It's all about the image!

I can't just shamelessly beg Xiao Yunlong.

That would completely ruin my cool image.

......

"And that's all the details of the Spirit Awakening Technique. Did you get it?"

In the room, Xiao Yunlong explained the Spirit Awakening Technique in detail, emphasizing many of the details.

Qin Tian silently recalled it. This body not only had a strong physique but also a much better memory than in his previous life.

After Xiao Yunlong explained it and demonstrated it in person, he was able to commit the entire process to memory.

"I've got it."

Qin Tian nodded.

"Alright, give it a try then."

Xiao Yunlong advised, "Be careful not to rush. Entering the meditation state is a big hurdle for most people. I also failed several times before I managed it."

"Okay, I understand."

Qin Tian took a deep breath and then slowly closed his eyes.

Xiao Yunlong stepped back two steps, standing together with Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao.

Inhale~ Exhale~ Inhale~ Exhale~

The rhythmic breathing sound filled the room as Qin Tian's eyes closed, his chest heaving, his consciousness gradually emptying as if entering a new world.

"It's started."

Qin Dadi's lips moved slightly, his eyes showing a mix of complexity and melancholy.

Becoming a Spiritualist was his lifelong dream. He had practiced this Spirit Awakening Technique countless times.

Unfortunately, limited by his talent, his body could not interact with the Spiritual Ability Factor, and he had to settle for becoming a Superpower User, enduring a 70% awakening death rate.

Qin Tian, do your best. I hope you can successfully awaken.

Only by becoming a Spiritualist can you break free from the shackles of your original identity and embrace a brighter future.

"Qin Tian, you can do it."

Liu Zhaozhao pursed her lips, silently wishing Qin Tian well.

Inhale~ Exhale~ Inhale~ Exhale~

Gradually, Qin Tian entered a mysterious state. His brain wasn't consciously controlling it, yet his breathing maintained a very unique and stable rhythm.

His mind seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, continuously falling until it finally entered a strange world.

This was a colorful world filled with multi-colored light particles.

The particles twirled like lively elves, sometimes intertwining to form different colors.

Qin Tian realized that he had successfully entered the meditation state.

Next step, absorb the Spiritual Ability Factor.

Ssss~~

His thoughts turned into a black hole, attracting nearby Spiritual Ability Factors.

Some factors greatly resisted him, moving further away.

But most factors drew closer to him, with two particular colors being the most numerous.

One was blue-purple, and the other was black.

"These should be the Thunder Element and Dark Element," Qin Tian thought to himself.

[Shadowbone Physique] and [Purple Thunder Bloodline] increased his affinity for the dark and thunder elements. Comparatively, the Thunder Element was more close to him, with the largest number approaching.

"It's done!"

Qin Tian felt a burst of joy.

In the process of spiritual awakening, entering meditation is the first hurdle that blocks more than seventy percent of people. Absorbing the Spiritual Ability Factor is the second hurdle, even harder than the first.

However, successfully absorbing the Spiritual Ability Factor indicated he was already halfway into the realm of a Spiritualist.

I suck! I suck! Keep sucking!

Qin Tian was like a glutton, pushing himself to absorb as much of the Spiritual Ability Factor as possible. The more he absorbed during the awakening process, the stronger his talent would be, benefiting him when consolidating the Star Acupoint later.

After a long while, when Qin Tian felt he was about to burst, unable to absorb any more Spiritual Ability Factor, he ended this state, returning his thoughts to reality.

The moment he opened his eyes, Qin Tian saw three shocked and excited faces.

"Brother, you succeeded!!!"

Xiao Yunlong grabbed Qin Tian's shoulders and shook them vigorously, his face flushed with excitement.

Successfully awakening Spiritual Energy on the first try

Qin Tian's talent almost matched that of Bloodline Martial Artists.

"Congratulations!"

Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao said with smiles, genuinely happy for Qin Tian.

Qin Tian blinked, sensing an unfamiliar power flowing through his body, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you~"
