Chapter 205: Chapter 0205: Late Stage of Qi Sea Realm_1
"Hahaha..." Zhang Bin’s excited laughter erupted from the villa. "I’ve finally reached the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm! The Qi Sea Boundary Great Perfection isn’t too far away."
He had spent just one night refining all the True Essence Pills, increasing the True Qi in his Dantian by ten percent. This allowed him to finally break through to the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm. It was tremendous progress.
He immediately left the villa and went to a spot in Great Green Mountain where he often practiced. After some careful testing, the results were quickly apparent. His speed had reached an astonishing 75 meters per second and his strength had hit 7.5 Newtons. His overall power had improved by at least a tenth.
At his level of cultivation, improving his strength by ten percent was an incredibly difficult feat. It required consuming miraculous elixirs. In reality, even True Essence Pills alone shouldn’t have improved his strength so much. The reason for the significant boost was his consumption of a large amount of Spiritual Water, which, under the medicinal power of the pills, rapidly converted Spiritual Energy into True Qi. Therefore, true cultivation could not be achieved overnight. The idea of some Immortal Pill that could grant invincibility or allow one to ascend to immortality upon consumption was pure fiction. At least, cultivators on Earth couldn’t concoct such elixirs.
I wonder if my special ability has improved as well?
Zhang Bin murmured expectantly to himself, then shouted, "Rise!"
He instantly activated his Telekinesis ability, attempting to lift himself into the air. Previously, he could lift an object of about 60 kilograms at full power. His own body weight was around 80 kilograms. The moment he spoke, he felt his body tremble violently, but it didn’t leave the ground. Clearly, he had managed to move his body. He was close to being able to lift himself.
"Significant improvement." Delight spread across Zhang Bin’s face. He took a discus from his Space Ring to test it.
Indeed, his special ability had progressed greatly. He could now lift 70 kilograms, an increase of 10 kilograms. The magnitude of this improvement was far beyond his expectations.
Could it be that my special ability is closely related to the amount of True Qi in my Dantian? Zhang Bin was quite puzzled.
His following days were fulfilling. He diligently practiced Qi gathering, the Qingmu Longevity Technique, and the Pure Heart Mystique. He also trained his special ability, entered the Virtual World in his dreams to study painting and alien materials, and occasionally practiced calligraphy. He even made a trip to East Lake Residence to guide Tian Bingbing’s cultivation for a night. Incidentally, he brought back a small turtle from East Lake. Using a secret technique, he developed the turtle’s brain before teaching it the turtle version of the Savage Overbearing Body Art.
This was because on Xuanwu Star, there were four powerful Divine Beasts: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Phoenix. Each corresponding version of the Savage Overbearing Body Art could help these Divine Beasts grow strong quickly. Moreover, the Black Tortoise Divine Beast was the guardian of Xuanwu Star—immensely powerful and enormous, comparable in size to an aircraft carrier. He had already been cultivating Da Huang, Xiao Jin, and Hong Ya, but he was still missing a Black Tortoise Divine Beast. This little turtle was now destined to become one.
Zhang Bin named the turtle Xiao Xuanzi, signifying that one day it would grow to be as powerful as the Black Tortoise Divine Beast on Xuanwu Star.
「A month passed by in a flash.」
"Hahaha... I really am a peerless genius in painting! It only took me one month to become a true painting master."
Early one morning, Zhang Bin let out an excited laugh just after waking up. It wouldn’t disturb Xiao Fang, since she hadn’t spent the night, having gone back to her own home. She simply couldn’t handle his stamina. Typically, after one night with him, she needed two days of rest; otherwise, she wouldn’t even have the energy for work.
After a full night of diligent study, Zhang Bin had finally received Tutu’s confirmation that he had become a painting master. Although he still couldn’t compare to the great Painting Grandmasters, it was still an impressive feat. Such progress was something an ordinary genius could hardly achieve in a lifetime. Now that Zhang Bin had done it, it was only natural for him to feel proud, excited, and exhilarated.
However, this was mainly because he had taken the Wisdom Pill, which had developed his brain, granting him a super-strong memory and learning ability. Most importantly, Tutu had played the most significant role. The software Tutu created was simply magical, allowing him to study in his sleep and even virtually reproduce the works of any master in history for him to appreciate and learn from. These were learning conditions that no one else could possibly replicate. It was understandable that he could achieve such results in just one month.
He immediately called Liu Ruolan, using his identity as the Hacker Rabbit King. He arranged to meet the two sisters on the rooftop of the Qingshan International Hotel at 9 a.m. the next day, stating he had a gift for her sister, Liu Ruomei.
Yes, he had called Liu Ruolan, not Liu Ruomei. The last time, he had made plans to have a meal with Liu Ruolan. Moreover, while Liu Ruomei had contacted him occasionally over the past month, she had been less than enthusiastic, almost a bit cold. It was clear she was thoroughly charmed by Zhang Bin and scorned any man who wasn’t him. Even the mysterious Hacker Rabbit King held little interest for her.
In fact, she had come to see Zhang Bin more frequently this month than Liu Ruolan had. However, she was always very rational, never giving him a chance to take advantage of her. She was obviously in a state of extreme conflict; she longed to see Zhang Bin and be with him, but she was unwilling to damage his relationship with Liu Ruolan. Despite this, Liu Ruomei grew more haggard by the day. This made Zhang Bin feel a great deal of sympathy for her.
And today, he would rescue Liu Ruomei from her sea of suffering.
Immediately after, Zhang Bin received a call from Liu Ruolan, inviting him to go with them to meet the Rabbit King.
I am the Rabbit King, so how could I possibly go meet him? Zhang Bin was at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He quickly made an excuse, "Dear, I’m at a very important stage of my cultivation and can’t get away. You two go ahead and meet him."
"As her brother-in-law, aren’t you the least bit concerned about Ruomei’s marriage prospects?" Liu Ruolan said in a playful pout.
"With you as her sister to worry about it, that’s enough. I can’t interfere in her matters," Zhang Bin said.
"Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Ruomei, so you don’t want her to find a boyfriend?" Liu Ruolan teased.
How could that be? No way. Zhang Bin broke out in a cold sweat.
"I’m really worried about Ruomei," Liu Ruolan said with a sigh. "She has such high standards and looks down on ordinary men. She doesn’t even care about the Rabbit King. I’m afraid she’ll never find a boyfriend. Today is actually a farewell for the Rabbit King, since he’s leaving. I guess he’s finally given up on Ruomei."
"What’s the rush? She’ll fall for someone sooner or later. It’s just not the right time yet. You don’t need to worry," Zhang Bin said.
"How can I not worry? The man she likes is you, her brother-in-law," Liu Ruolan dropped the bombshell.
