Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 20: Soaring Strength, Ready to Set Off
Inside the cave on the mountain wall.

Qi Yuan took out a Dragon Vein Fruit.

The entire dragon vein fruit is only the size of a longan, and its entire body is green and crystal clear.

But if you look closely, you can faintly see mysterious veins resembling dragons beneath the crystalline surface.

Qi Yuan threw the Dragon Vein Fruit directly into his mouth.

"Click~"

The moment the skin of the Dragon Vein Fruit was bitten through—

Suddenly, a surge of vitality, many times more concentrated than the life energy contained in the wooden crystal, erupted!
The entire Dragon Vein Fruit was digested rapidly, as if it were liquid, and a large amount of life-giving energy frantically flowed into his body!

And each of those cells, which had just undergone a fundamental transformation and were now in an extremely weak state, immediately began to devour this energy with insatiable 'hunger'!

Bloodline evolution involves the recombination of cells and the release of potential.

During this process, a large amount of the life-sustaining substances stored in the cells are consumed.

The overall quality of cells improves, but internal energy decreases, which leads to each cell being in a state of extreme hunger and lethargy.

At this moment, nourished by the vigorous vitality contained in the Dragon Vein Fruit, these cells absorbed it frantically and recovered rapidly!
In less than half a day, the energy of the entire Dragon Vein Fruit was completely absorbed.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's listless state had completely vanished!

Every cell in his body absorbed enough energy, and at this moment, the vigorous life magnetic field surged like a tsunami, directly causing the air in the entire cave to tremble continuously!

However, Qi Yuan did not stop there.

After his bloodline evolved, not only did he absorb energy and evolve faster, but the upper limit of each absorption also increased significantly!
He took out the second Dragon Vein Fruit and threw it into his mouth!
"boom!"

The overwhelming vitality that had reached its peak erupted once more, propelling his physical energy towards a certain extreme.

finally--

As the immense life force contained in the second Dragon Vein Fruit was about to be exhausted, his physical strength seemed to have reached a certain limit!
"Click~"

It's as if an invisible shackle has been broken!
Within the dantian space, incomparably powerful genetic energy surged forth from every part of the body like an erupting tsunami!

The pure genetic energy surged like ocean waves, then gathered wildly, forming a giant 'water sphere'.

The 'water sphere' kept expanding and contracting, and the whole world seemed to consist of only this 'water sphere'!
With the final contraction, the entire dantian space resounded with a booming sound—

A brand new 'star', radiating endless, dazzling light, has finally formed.
In preparation for the 'trainee mercenary assessment' a year later.

The entire planet Thunderstorm, from Lord Hugo to Qi Yuan and his personal guards, and even the planetary slaves mining thunder crystals in the mines, was in an unprecedented state of activity.

Hugo was busy trying every possible way to quickly enhance his own and his subordinates' strength.

Meanwhile, those poor planetary-level slaves were busy mining more lightning crystals, striving to provide their masters with more 'economic' support!
Despite his busy schedule, Qi Yuan's life continued in an orderly fashion.

After consuming the Dragon Essence to strengthen his bloodline, his efficiency in absorbing energy and converting it into cultivation skyrocketed.

In addition, with the Dragon Vein Fruit providing ample energy, he hardly wastes any time accumulating and improving his cultivation.

He, on the other hand, devoted more of his energy to the practice and comprehension of the secret techniques!

Of all the techniques he devoted the most energy to, it was naturally the newly acquired lightning secret technique, "Lightning Strike." Lightning, by its very nature, is an energy that is extremely violent and unrestrained.

The Thunder Domain is constructed from countless streams of the most violent lightning energy.

Today, the essence of the secret technique "Lightning Strike" is to compress this extremely violent energy almost infinitely, ultimately compressing it into a sharp "lightning strike" that is as sharp as a blade.

Just think about how difficult that is!
Leaving aside how to compress the immense power of the entire field into a blade-like sharpness, even if one were to succeed by chance, maintaining this state for a long time would be a major challenge.

Without warning, the incredibly compressed and condensed violent lightning energy suddenly erupted, and even he himself suffered a lot!

Besides regularly absorbing a Dragon Vein Fruit every half month to improve his cultivation, Qi Yuan devoted most of his remaining time to comprehending the "Thunder Light" secret technique.

Even so, his progress in comprehending "Lightning" was slow, and he was never able to find the balance that would sustain the formation of "Lightning".

Left with no other option, he had to change his approach.

Don't forget, we have cheat codes!

Although the contents of the "Thunder Light" secret technique cannot be passed on to outsiders, he can focus on controlling the domain!

The higher his proficiency and the stronger his control over the field, the more efficient he will be in cultivating "Lightning Light"!
So, in the following year...

Aside from one instance where he used the return function to return all the accumulated Wood Crystal 'salary' as Dragon Vein Fruits,

The remaining eleven return opportunities were all used for 'passing on cultivation experience'!

Moreover, during each lecture, he would use his cultivation insights into the Thunder Domain as the main teaching content.

During his lectures, he devoted himself wholeheartedly, striving to impart all the knowledge he possessed in the field to Cang Fan in the most detailed way possible!

Under his painstaking and dedicated instruction, Cang Fan was naturally deeply moved and received a series of powerful blows!
[Successfully imparted Thunder Domain cultivation experience to disciple!]

[Trigger a 60x critical hit reward.]

[Reward: Abundant cultivation insights into the Thunder Domain!]

[Successfully imparted Thunder Domain cultivation experience to disciple!]

[Trigger a 50x critical hit reward.]

[Reward: Abundant cultivation insights into the Thunder Domain!]

With the system's extremely high return rate, Qi Yuan's comprehension of the domain skyrocketed like a rocket!
After just the first return, he reached the second level in his comprehension of the Thunder Domain!

His control over the domain was greatly enhanced as a result, and his efficiency in comprehending the "Lightning" secret technique improved significantly!
After verifying his guess, Qi Yuan naturally paid even more attention when he taught the material again.

Each time I impart my knowledge with utmost care, I receive high returns each time.
Qi Yuan's understanding and control of the Thunder Domain soared at an exaggerated speed, and his comprehension of "Thunder Light" also progressed by leaps and bounds.
In this incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable cultivation experience, I can see myself getting stronger almost every day.

A year passed quickly and quietly.
On this day, Qi Yuan finished teaching Cang Fan once again.

Suddenly his expression changed, and he quickly answered a call request on the arm protector's computer—

"Assemble at the castle immediately!"
