After comforting Xu Xin and waiting for her to leave, Xu Feng thought back to everything before he passed out. It finally hit him,
"Why did that fragment suddenly change direction before?"
Xu Feng clearly remembered the scene. If the fragment hadn't changed course, it would have pierced his heart.
The scenery outside the window had never been so beautiful. The veins of the leaves, the chirping of insects, and even the sound of two leaves rubbing against each other on the grass could be heard clearly. He could even hear the television and the conversations of passersby.
"Wait, it's not that the sounds are louder. My hearing has improved significantly."
Xu Feng got out of bed and stood up. Walking around the bedroom, he surveyed his surroundings. His vision, hearing, and even his sense of smell had all improved dramatically.
Xu Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Even though he wasn't using his eyes to observe the scene, he strangely felt the presence of objects around him. It was as if he had painted the surrounding scenery into an abstract painting, but all the objects in the painting only had vague outlines.
Hoo.
He felt the gravity of the surrounding objects in his mind. His intuition told him he could counteract this force. In the dead of night, the furniture around him actually floated.
"Huh? What… what's going on?" Xu Feng was startled. "I can control things to float?"
From initial shock, Xu Feng gradually calmed down and began to carefully feel this power.
"Could it be that I've awakened Mental Power? Am I a Mentalist, as the legends say?"
Xu Feng didn't know much about Mentalists; after all, the original story didn't go into detail about them.
However, he still knew some basic information. Mentalists were generally powerful martial artists who also cultivated Genetic Yuan Energy.
Before a Mentalist could refine all their Mental Potential…
A Mentalist's Mental Power is typically two minor levels higher than their physical cultivation.
"How strong is my Mental Power?"
Xu Feng opened his eyes and looked at the objects around him. He found that everything nearby was floating off the ground.
Almost everything in the entire bedroom had left the floor, as if there was no gravity in space.
"I'm still young. Maybe I can step into the world's top ranks in the future," Xu Feng said with anticipation.
In this quiet bedroom, Xu Feng had awakened his ability, and he was also too excited to fall asleep.
After all, Mentalists on Earth were known to be able to fight across two levels and mow down enemies in groups!
"Forget it, I'm too excited today, and it's probably hard to sleep. I'll cultivate Genetic Yuan Energy instead." Xu Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, assuming the Five Hearts Towards Heaven posture, and closed his eyes to begin his cultivation.
After calming his excited emotions, Xu Feng assumed the posture of the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method.
He had clearly memorized every step of the movements after the martial artist assessment, and the cultivation method was also clear in his mind.
Although it's called Five Hearts Towards Heaven, it's actually a posture similar to meditation, but because of his body's flexibility from practicing martial arts since childhood, he could turn his feet upwards after sitting with his legs crossed.
His hands were also palms up, laid flat on top of his legs. His waist was naturally straight, and his spine was like a dragon soaring upwards. This allowed his entire body to enter a state of neither tightness nor looseness.
"There's only one Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method in the entire world for Genetic Yuan Energy cultivation. Generally, if you meet the physical requirements of a martial artist, you can begin cultivating Genetic Yuan Energy," Xu Feng took a deep breath. "The article says that the first time sensing it is the hardest."
To absorb the subtle energies from the universe, one must first sense them.
Cosmic energy is everywhere on Earth and even exists in the vastness of space. However, the vast majority of humans are completely unaware of the existence of these energies. "As long as I can sense it, absorbing it will be easy."
"Generally, talented individuals can sense it on the first day of cultivation. While martial artists with weaker talent may spend a year or two just sensing the cosmic energy." Xu Feng adjusted his breathing, then maintained the Five Hearts Towards Heaven posture. Here, the five hearts refer to the soles of his two feet, the palms of his two hands, and the Baihui Acupoint on top of his head.
"Huu, xi."
Xu Feng's breathing gradually evened out, controlling himself, calming his mind.
Everything around him became incredibly sensitive; he could even clearly feel the airflow from his own breath. For him, this process of taming the heart-monkey was still difficult.
He was usually silent because he knew more than others. He had been like this since he was a child, unable to connect with his peers.
But his inner thoughts were never lacking. His inner world was rich, and this richness was now an obstacle.
This was the most difficult part of sensing cosmic energy. He knew he needed to enter a state of no thought, no idea, no desire. Only then could the cells in his body spontaneously begin to absorb cosmic energy.
Slowly, he released his mind, emptying his thoughts bit by bit. After eliminating external interference, he could perceive the changes in the world more clearly.
Silent, his breathing barely audible.
One minute, two minutes, thirty minutes, one hour.
The night grew deeper.
Xu Feng didn't move at all, nor was he anxious. He was constantly reining in his thoughts, preventing them from interfering with his body's instincts.
His mind became still, and distractions vanished. Xu Feng seemed to be asleep. He relinquished control of his mind and body, yet remained in the Five Hearts Towards Heaven posture.
"Hmm," Xu Feng suddenly opened his eyes in the hospital room. "Where exactly is this so-called cosmic energy? I can't feel it at all. My mind should have been incredibly, incredibly calm just now. Could it be true, as the Instructor said, that talented individuals can sense it in a day, while those with weaker aptitude might take a year or two?"
"I'll try again." Xu Feng closed his eyes, once more attempting to sense the cosmic energy described in the article, which was said to exist everywhere around him.
Relax and be still.
These were the two most emphasized points in the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method.
"Still wrong." Xu Feng opened his eyes again after half an hour.
Xu Feng truly realized that the first stage of cultivating Genetic Yuan Energy, sensing it, was extremely difficult.
"Let's try one last time. If it doesn't work, I'll wait until tomorrow night. Hopefully, I can succeed." Xu Feng hoped in his heart, closed his eyes, and began to calm his mind again, trying to sense the cosmic energy.
Time ticked by, minute by minute. Ten minutes, thirty minutes, fifty minutes, an hour, and twenty minutes...
"Why hasn't it worked yet?"
In the near-meditative stillness of his mind, Xu Feng's thoughts also became slower.
Gradually…
In this state of closed-eye meditation, Xu Feng originally still held a trace of longing in his heart, hoping to sense the cosmic energy. However, as time passed, Xu Feng himself was about to fall asleep. After all, even a normal person would probably fall asleep if they closed their eyes and did nothing for half an hour in the middle of the night, not to mention that Xu Feng had already persisted for three hours.
Approaching a state of sleep, Xu Feng had forgotten to sense the cosmic energy at this moment.
"So comfortable."
