Chapter 55 (1/2)

Rong Kaixuan was in his bedroom slowly breathing out True Qi.

Between the path to becoming a Spiritualist and the path to becoming a Martial Artist, Rong Kaixuan had made an unexpected decision. He had not given up cultivating on either path. Instead, he kept both Spirit Power and True Qi and cultivated them at the same time.

For a beginner, this method of doing things was definitely a path that led to nowhere.

Cultivation of both True Qi and Spirit Power needed a tremendous amount of time.

On top of that, the path of cultivation was ultimately the path of battling.

Purely focusing on cultivation wasn’t very useful. If one did not support it with relevant battling techniques, it was difficult to break through to the next stage after a certain point in cultivation.

The time it took for a Martial Artist to cultivate his Martial Arts techniques and for a Spiritualist to cultivate his spells did not take any less time than the time taken to gather and refine True Qi or Spirit Power.

For most ordinary cultivators, they were in a race against time. They had to grasp as many things as they could within the limited time they had.

Rong Kaixuan was different. He left six Spirit Bodies to cultivate in the mountains for him, so he didn’t need to spend time cultivating techniques and spells.

The only thing he needed to do was keep refining the True Qi and Spirit Power he had so that he could match the Spirit Bodies’ progress.

Suddenly, Rong Kaixuan frowned slightly while cultivating.

He opened his eyes. There was a surprised look in them.

In that instant, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

This was a special feeling that was difficult to describe. It was as if something incomprehensible had happened within his body.

This feeling wasn’t new though. The last time the Spirit Body Fighter increased in cultivation level, he had sensed the same feeling. He felt a movement in his heart. Had those Spirit Bodies in the deep mountains increased in level again?

Wasn’t this rate of increase a little too fast?

Rong Kaixuan redirected his consciousness into the middle of the little round ball.

Inside the ball, the few shadows were still there. They quietly floated in their own space. The glow around the shadows, which represented the five elemental Spirit Body Spellcasters, seemed to be brighter than before.

Rong Kaixuan immediately understood that the Spirit Body Spellcasters had increased in level at the same time.

Even though he was the one who had evoked these Spirit Bodies, Rong Kaixuan couldn’t help but feel incredibly surprised by what he saw. It felt rather magical to him.

He didn’t understand how these five Spirit Bodies could have increased in level at the same time. Were these five Spirit Bodies together all the time?

Rong Kaixuan shook his head and directed his Divine Sense towards the five Spirit Bodies in the mountains.

All the things these Spirit Bodies had experienced in the past few weeks instantly surged into his mind like a giant wave.

Gaining a huge addition to one’s memory was a dangerous thing. If this was the first time Rong Kaixuan had received this amount, he might have instantly lost consciousness. He had already received a lot of information many times over. While it did cause him a little discomfort, this amount of agitation was not considered too much of a burden.

After an hour, Rong Kaixuan let out a long sigh. He finally understood how these Spirit Bodies could move up in level at the same time. They had chased away a giant python that dominated part of the mountain forest in a combined effort.

During the intense battle, the five of them had reached a stage of enlightenment, so they advanced at the same time.

After increasing in level, the five Spirit Bodies didn’t have any change in terms of their outward appearance, but their ability to control and cast spells had reached a fairly frightening level.

For the water element Spirit Body Spellcaster, all it needed to do was to think about it and it could unleash the spell Flowing Water Waves anywhere within a 60-foot radius around itself.

Even an Elementary Stage Spiritualist Mentor might not have been able to cast a spell with such precision, never mind someone at the Spiritualist level.

Similarly, the other elemental Spirit Body Spellcasters were just as excellent at wielding spells of their own element.

Rong Kaixuan frowned and quietly thought for several moments. He redirected his thoughts. An area about 32 feet away from him lit up. That spark was the center. It instantly gave off water ripples that started expanding outward in waves.

Rong Kaixuan had also been able to cast the water element spell of Flowing Water Waves as if it came naturally to him.

His eyes became a little brighter, and he had a tiny smile on his face.

This was definitely the effect of being able to instantly unleash spells.

He had experienced this effect when he had that sudden outburst of energy during his fight with Lin Hui. After that sudden outburst of energy was used, he went back to square one.

He was able to cast various spells quite quickly, but it still wasn’t considered instant.

Now, after the Spirit Body Spellcasters in the mountains had successfully reached Advanced Stage Spiritualists, his own body was able to fully grasp how to instantly unleash spells.

After thinking through what he wanted to do next, Rong Kaixuan stood up and headed for the Hall of Spiritualists.

Given the ridiculous number of talismans he had on hand, it really wasn’t a problem if he wanted to go into the mountains to cultivate. Of course, if he accumulated more trump cards, he wouldn’t give up that chance.

He didn’t mind using the last month he had to increase his power by another level.

In no time, he had reached the Manuals Library.

When he walked into the Manuals Library, he immediately felt the strange looks from everyone around him.
