Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 275 End of the Second Semester

Qin Xiaochuan sat on the open-air balcony of Han Kexin's villa, completely immersed in his own world of cultivation. Han Kexin and the others were catching up on sleep in their rooms, while Kaiming and Feifei were watching anime in the living room on the first floor. Although the people were mixed, the whole villa was still very harmonious.

A gentle breeze caressed his body, and Qin Xiaochuan took a deep breath, feeling as if he were breathing in harmony with nature.

This gave him a feeling that he had the world under his control. At his current cultivation speed, he would soon reach level 8 of spiritual power. With his Samadhi True Fire and spiritual space, he was full of confidence. He was even confident that he could challenge a spiritual master at the initial level 9 of spiritual power.

However, so far, apart from Guo Tianming, he doesn't seem to have encountered any level 9 spirit masters, and even level 8 spirit masters are few and far between.

"Does being so young mean I'm already invincible?" Qin Xiaochuan wondered, troubled. "Isn't that too unchallenging?"

How lonely it is to be invincible.

Stop!

Qin Xiaochuan slapped himself, pulling himself back from his daydream. He couldn't open the champagne halfway through the game, or he'd be in big trouble.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Qin Xiaochuan calmly began to plan his cultivation journey again.

Although he gained a lot from this trip to Kunlun Ruins, it also made him realize that he had many shortcomings. First of all, his skills were too limited, making it difficult to cope with complex combat scenarios.

This is understandable, since his cultivation has always grown wildly and he has never had the opportunity to properly refine his skill system.

It's clear that his skills are primarily offensive, lacking flexibility and control in combat. Therefore, he needs to supplement his skills with more mobility and control abilities.

Furthermore, the "Flame Dragon" skill he unleashed when defeating Leviathan was actually something he saw and spontaneously developed from Zhu Rong while watching ancient historical illusions. However, due to the short development time, it is not yet mature and only has a rough outline, and its release is also unstable.

He unleashed the "Flaming Dragon - Burning Heaven" attack because it was a life-or-death situation that triggered his potential. He couldn't do it again now. So he needs to refine this skill, since his previous attack skills were a bit too monotonous.

Of course, while researching these skills, he also needs to continue to study how to use Samadhi Fire to enhance the power of each skill, and strive to develop the first legendary SS-level skill in the shortest possible time.

Whether it's learning or developing new skills, it actually takes a lot of time. Fortunately, he now has a Heart Imprint, so he doesn't need to spend time improving his spiritual power. He can just focus his energy on skill modification, which is another great benefit of the Heart Imprint.

He opened his phone and reviewed the skill information Han Kexin had sent him before. He had to admit that high-level skills were an extremely scarce resource.

Even though Han Kexin is so wealthy, she only managed to produce a dozen or so A-level skills and two S-level skills. It seems that the only ways to acquire high-level skills above S-level are through development and modification.

Qin Xiaochuan first selected a wind-type movement skill from the A-level skills—Wind Shadow Flash. This is also one of Han Kexin's core skills. Having such a movement skill can make his combat more flexible. Combined with his mental space ability, it can even have unexpected effects.

Moreover, wind-type skills

It is mainly activated through fire and wood elemental spiritual power, which is quite in line with his personal circumstances.

Unfortunately, his skill set lacked suitable control skills, which troubled him somewhat. The absence of control skills would put him at a significant disadvantage in combat, as many of his attack skills, such as Holy Flame Baptism and Blazing Dance, are projectile-type skills that require a targeted object to unleash their full potential.

Especially when facing highly agile opponents, he had suffered a loss when he competed with Han Kexin before. Faced with Han Kexin's super agile wind-type skills, all of his fire-type skills became auxiliary skills that blocked movement. In the end, he could only rely on close combat to have a chance to defeat his opponent.

Although his mental space can be considered a control skill, it can only slow down opponents and is difficult to coordinate perfectly with his attack skills.

A skill system without control skills is imperfect, and he must make up for this deficiency in any way.

"What should I do?" he frowned, deep in thought.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he couldn't help but shout, "That's it! How come I didn't think of that?"

There was clearly a master of control skills right in front of him—Kaiming.

Kaiming's main skills are lightning and mental skills. Among them, lightning skills are mainly driven by fire-attribute spiritual power and secondarily by earth-attribute spiritual power, which is also very compatible with Qin Xiaochuan's spiritual power situation.

When he fought Leviathan, he and Kaiming cooperated very well. It was because of the paralysis effect of Kaiming's lightning skills that the conditions were perfect for his fire skills to deal damage. Since the two were so compatible, why couldn't he learn some lightning skills?

"I'm such a genius," Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself smugly. The next second, he immediately went to Kaiming and made his request.

However, Kai-ming rejected him without any mercy.

"So stingy! I even helped you retrieve the Contract Stone and brought you from that desolate Kunlun Ruins to this wonderful world," Qin Xiaochuan said with dissatisfaction.

While grabbing the remote control from Feifei, Kaiming said dismissively, "In our time, there was a saying: 'Do good deeds without expecting anything in return.' Nowadays, it seems like everything is a transaction. The world is going to the dogs."

Qin Xiaochuan felt ashamed. Although Kaiming's behavior was somewhat shameless, what he said did make some sense and was irrefutable.

However, Qin Xiaochuan's determination to learn control skills could not be easily changed, and dealing with a naive guy like Kaiming was still a piece of cake.

After all, it's the 21st century, and in this dazzling world, there are so many new and exciting things to see. A few days later, when Qin Xiaochuan took out the PSP game console he had just bought and placed it in front of Kaiming, the guy's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Deal! You can learn any skills you want, as long as you tell me how to play this game." Kaiming snatched the game console without hesitation, as if afraid that Qin Xiaochuan would change his mind.

Qin Xiaochuan was dumbfounded, unsure whether he had successfully bribed Kaiming or had fallen into Kaiming's trap.

Perhaps what the other party really meant from the beginning was—you can learn the skill, but you have to exchange it for something.

Regardless, before the start of the new semester, Qin Xiaochuan successfully learned the area control skills of Wind Shadow Flash and Enlightenment, as well as Thunderstrike Sky Net.

Thus, Qin Xiaochuan's second semester at Mingde University can be considered to have come to a fairly perfect end.
