110: precipitation

“Hmm?” Zhang Ling and Lin Qiaoqiao looked at Bai Mo in confusion.

Bai Mo explained the Breathing Technique, stating that it could increase cultivation speed by 10% to 20%, with the exact effect depending on when they started practicing it.

“There’s such a good thing! Bai Mo! Did you know this all along! You’ve been hiding it! No wonder your spiritual power increased so fast! How annoying!” Zhang Ling said huffily, though of course, she didn't mean to blame him, as the item belonged to Bai Mo.

“Hahaha! I was still testing it out! After all... this kind of thing, perhaps only internal national secrets might have such cultivation techniques... Since I have it, I have to be cautious!” Bai Mo said with a smile to Zhang Ling.

Although the Spiritual Power Absorption Technique was universally adopted, Bai Mo didn't believe that various countries weren't continuing to research it.

They definitely were! Perhaps those national secret forces specifically had such cultivation methods that could increase efficiency by 10% or 20%; accumulated over time, that would absolutely be a huge difference!

Not to mention adding in innate talent, this thing, while it could raise the lower limit and allow people with low talent to achieve greater accomplishments.

But it also, in the same way, raised the upper limit of highly talented people again.

These things were all interconnected.

“That's true!” Zhang Ling and Lin Qiaoqiao thought about it and agreed. Although they were part of the same organization, they had only known each other for two or three months.

Especially Lin Qiaoqiao, who had known him for an even shorter time.

They didn't have a deeper understanding of each other.

No wonder Bai Mo specifically told Wen Yu.

After all, Bai Mo and Wen Yu’s relationship was more than just like siblings; they were practically bound by life and death.

Their constant flirtatious glances had made Zhang Ling and Lin Qiaoqiao numb.

You’re already like this! Why haven't you confessed! Why haven't you become a couple! Do you just enjoy this “secretive” feeling!

City people really know how to have fun!

“Tomorrow, I’ll give you this cultivation method. I don’t need to say much about what you should do, right?” Bai Mo said.

“Don’t worry!” Zhang Ling and Lin Qiaoqiao simultaneously raised three fingers: “I swear! We will absolutely not reveal a single word related to this!”

“Mm!” Bai Mo nodded. Even if it was revealed, it didn't matter. The surface was important, but in reality: it was irrelevant!

Bai Mo and Wen Yu exchanged glances, clearly both aware of this, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

“Then it’s settled! All right, what does everyone want for dinner?” Wen Yu said with a smile, directly changing the topic to dinner.

...

Bai Mo “left a message” for Yi Xin; the Exchange Platform had this function.

He asked Yi Xin about the “reverse modification” of this cultivation method.

“Simple!” Yi Xin replied with just two words.

When he went to sleep that night, Bai Mo received several cultivation methods that Yi Xin had “modified” in the Exchange Platform.

“The effects are different. I don’t know what your 10% and 20% mean, so I made quite a few. You can try them yourself. I’ve already significantly reduced the effects,” Yi Xin said to Bai Mo.

“Thank you, great one!” Bai Mo nearly knelt before Yi Xin.

Is this what a super great one from a level 3 world is like! Yi Xin said he was a novice, but if a novice was this formidable, Bai Mo couldn’t imagine how formidable those great ones were!

Could the gap between a level 3 world and a level 2 world be so vast!

Yi Xin’s actions made Bai Mo believe that in Yi Xin’s world, it was not a problem to cover the sky with one hand or shatter stars bare-handed.

As for his own world, well, he didn’t know how high the combat power of his world was either. He was also just a novice and hadn’t come into contact with the upper world.

Then, Bai Mo handed this cultivation method to Lin Qiaoqiao and Zhang Ling, and also sent a copy to their “nominal” leader, Zhang Qier.

After receiving it, Zhang Qier rushed back overnight, then held a meeting, and ultimately decided to make this cultivation method a “benefit” for their organization!

At the same time, they would also provide Bai Mo with substantial compensation.

The benefits were that everyone would share half of their future academic credits with Bai Mo, and Zhang Qier would supply a much larger amount of cultivation resources, among other benefits not mentioned.

No one had any objections to this.

Academic credits were not something they lacked much, and increasing cultivation speed by 10% or 20%... they knew how terrifying that was! Don't underestimate that 10% or 20%!

“We’ll strive to directly unseat that former strongest freshman, Yi Yun! The top four will all be from our organization!” Zhang Ling was now directly inflated with confidence.

“Haha! Yes, yes, yes!” Lin Qiaoqiao laughed heartily; she also had this idea.

“...You two are really getting ahead of yourselves!” Wen Yu smiled helplessly, watching everyone in high spirits, and shook her head slightly.

Sometimes, the influence of special abilities is truly enormous; even if your spiritual power surpasses theirs by several times, you might not be an opponent.

Spiritual power is just your “endurance,” unless the quantity is so vast that it becomes an overwhelming qualitative change.

Not to mention, there's also the concept of spiritual power intensity.

Combat power is influenced by all aspects.

After a while of revelry, everyone fully prepared for the upcoming Exchange Platform competition.

...

Clarissa was bored at home. Having just finished her sword practice, she took a bath, then comfortably sat in the living room drinking tea and eating snacks, cultivating her mind and body.

There was nothing she could do; it was truly too boring. She practiced daily, and her strength grew very steadily.

Ever since resolving that “world invader” incident, two months had passed.

Clarissa had practically nothing to do during these two months.

Alice contacted her less frequently, always busy with state affairs.

The Grosster Empire had no intention of expanding outwards for now; everyone's current life was quite good. War, if it could be avoided, should be avoided!

Moreover, Alice was currently focused on developing the people's livelihoods. These things couldn't be achieved in a day or two; they required long-term development. When everything was ready, that would be the beginning of the Grosster Empire's golden age!

This led to Clarissa's current boredom.

She had avenged her great hatred, and the orcs were gone.

There was no world to save, and no world invaders to resolve.

Then, the members of the Cross-Realm Platform were all busy with their own affairs, so what else could she do? She could only practice and practice every day in such boredom.

However, the effects were indeed there.

After two months of cultivation, Clarissa's physical fitness had reached 1822 points.

Her biggest gain was the Star Sword Intent, which increased from 11.4% to 15.8%. The further she progressed, the slower she found her improvement speed to be.

But correspondingly, the effects and power brought by the Star Sword Intent also became increasingly powerful.

And the transcendent combat skill One Sword had also been successfully perfected under Clarissa's diligent practice.

Her source points also increased by over twenty million.

Her current balance was 57.29 million source points.

At the same time.

In the Apocalypse World, Lin Ze and Lin Zhi's strength grew increasingly formidable. Then, they discovered that the world was becoming increasingly turbulent, with countless monsters appearing. Gradually, they also found that the current survivor bases were growing stronger, and countless evolvers emerged.

After such a long time, humanity had begun to adapt to this world and started to launch its own counterattack!

The increase in evolvers brought about a series of “virtuous cycles.”

However, Lin Ze and Lin Zhi, who had seized the initiative, always stayed together as a pair.

They did not join any survivor base.

Lin Ze had a storage space, so one person was equivalent to “one city.” Lin Zhi stayed with him, living extremely comfortably, able to go anywhere.

And Lin Zhi had already reached 26 enhancements from evolution crystals, possessing a strength of half a ton with one hand.

Her growth was quite good, but compared to other worlds, Lin Ze's power here was relatively singular and uninteresting.

And then there was Xu Duantong from the Tianqi Continent.

Nearly half a year had passed.

His level had reached level 32, making his progress the fastest.

Especially in the “game world,” he mastered over twenty skills. In terms of variety, Xu Duantong was the most “flashy” person.

As time passed, the power in Tang Ziheng’s hands slowly developed.

Tang Ziheng’s source points had also accumulated to over 700 million.
