Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 39, Basic Qi Refining Method

As soon as Liu Xian left, Lingling immediately questioned, "No, how could you agree to that? We don't do charity!"

"Heh, kid, you're still too green. Sometimes, when we're hunters, we don't necessarily have to be after the so-called reward. The information that the mission brings is a reward in itself!"

Chen Hao spoke calmly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "Especially something like this. Vampires, warrior-level, do you know how valuable those creatures are? Scarcity drives up value, and the loot from a vampire is worth far more than a 50 reward!"

Upon hearing this, Lingling's eyes lit up as well. That's right, news of valuable spoils of war is a reward in itself!
In the past, she only provided intelligence support and did not participate much in actual combat, so she did not pay much attention to this aspect. Now it seems that she still has a lot to learn!

"I'll start planning right away." After figuring it out, Lingling immediately got to work.

At this moment, she had changed her opinion of Chen Hao; he was a reliable partner!
……

To deal with a vampire of the general level, one cannot be unprepared. Even with Chen Hao's upgraded equipment, he cannot say that he can take it down with certainty. You should know that in the original work, Mo Fan was already at the intermediate level three, and it took a group of people to attack him to defeat him.

This is enough to prove that this thing is at least a great general, and an ordinary general would probably be easily killed in front of it.

Chen Hao decided to first raise his life level to the Warrior level, and after his combat power underwent a qualitative change, he would then find a group of people to besiege him!

This is destined to be a long hunt.

Of course, Chen Hao did do something during this time. He did protect Liu Xian in secret, often guarding her all night long, but he didn't try to find out more about the vampires. He just kept a watchful eye on them.

The signal is clear: I've got this guy under my protection.

As for its effect, it certainly has some; at least Liu Xian can get a few more days of restful sleep.

However, this cannot be a cure. Nie Dong saw through Chen Hao's actions and scoffed at them, believing that there is no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days without being able to do so.

He couldn't afford to offend the Hunter Alliance, let alone the Azure Sky Hunter's Den, but he didn't believe that Liu Xian could always have someone protecting her 24 hours a day; there would always be an opportunity to strike.

Therefore, he chose to visit other beautiful young girls first, and then come back to pick this delicious twin fruit after a while. Let that stupid hunter wait it out if he wants; vampires are least afraid of wasting time.

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for the official start of the school year.

[Advanced Options Available! Please select an advancement option.] [1. Autonomous Advancement – ​​80% success rate; successful advancement guarantees the awakening of Elemental Affinity and Elemental Control!]

[2. Soul Fusion Breakthrough - Success rate 80%-100%. The quality of the soul directly affects the success rate of advancement and subsequent talent awakening.]

[3. Advanced Spiritual Material-Assisted Breakthrough – Success Rate 80%-100%, 100% chance of awakening spiritual talents upon successful advancement, depending on the quality of the Mind Stone.]

[4. Demonic Courage Breakthrough - Success rate 80%-100%. After advancement, there is a 100% chance of awakening changes in Battle Qi attributes. The quality of the Demonic Courage directly affects the success rate and attribute quality of the advancement.]

"Huh? The success rate has increased?" Chen Hao stared at the light screen, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He quickly realized—it was most likely because the summoning system had advanced to the intermediate level, resulting in an improvement in the quality of his soul. This relieved him and further confirmed that the time for his advancement had arrived.

After a brief consideration, he decisively ruled out the second and third options, as the required materials were too expensive and he simply couldn't afford them at this stage. As for the fourth option, although it could improve his battle aura attributes, his current Blue Star battle aura already suited him very well, so there was no need to forcibly change it.

Then, let's choose the self-advanced option!

The success rate is 80%, and the awakening reward is extremely attractive—especially the "Elemental Control," which is an ability that only high-level mages can master in the original work. If I can possess it in advance, then the light element can play a greater role.

“It’s worth a try!”

Chen Hao took a deep breath and decisively clicked on [1, Self-Advancement].

[You have chosen to make a breakthrough independently. Please follow the steps below to proceed.]

Before the words were finished, a torrent of memories, both strange and familiar, suddenly flooded into my mind, as if an ancient sage had directly imprinted his legacy into my soul, carrying the aura of ancient times and the truth of cultivation.

—"Basic Qi Refining Method".

It is neither magic nor combat skill, but a most primitive and pure form of cultivation technique.

"It's actually a secret technique of the cultivation method category?!"

Chen Hao's heart skipped a beat.

Although this Qi cultivation method is called "Basic," it contains profound principles and is clearly an orthodox cultivation system passed down from some ancient civilization. It can not only refine battle qi, but also hone the spirit and even affect the efficiency of demonic energy circulation.

He immediately sat cross-legged and slowly guided his breathing and circulated his battle qi according to the rhythm of the secret method.

With each breath, it's as if a furnace is ignited within the body, and the fighting spirit surges like a dragon, flowing and cleansing through the meridians. The blood and qi are repeatedly tempered, and the physique gradually transforms.

In just ten minutes, he completed the first cycle, and the fighting spirit in his body was compressed into a more refined form, with a significant improvement in quality.

High-quality battle qi slowly seeped into his limbs and bones, and his whole body radiated a warm glow, as if he were enveloped by a higher level of life force. His entire body was moving towards the level of a warrior general in a stable and orderly manner!

[Expected to successfully break through to the Warrior General level in 30 hours!]

Chen Hao opened his eyes, his lips curling into a wild smile, as excited as if he were possessed.

This basic Qi refining method is anything but basic. Its cultivation ceiling is ridiculously high. It's not just about advancing to the level of a battle general. In the future, he can continue to use this method to hone his battle qi and spirit, and nurture an even stronger physique!
Thus, one can continuously break through one's own life level. As long as one puts their heart and soul into it, becoming a leader or a monarch is not just a dream!

Only at this moment did he seem to have truly unlocked a cheat code.

……

Upon returning to dormitory 404, the damage caused had been completely restored to its original state. Without any hesitation, Chen Hao directly occupied the room that originally belonged to Feng Ziming.

"Dude, you're finally back." Xu Yang peeked at him from the balcony, his tone tinged with worry. "While you were gone, Feng Ziming's brother, Feng Zikun, brought people to your dorm several times, acting all high and mighty."

Chen Hao pulled out a chair and sat down, calmly asking, "What did they say?"

"They didn't do anything, they just acted like you owed their whole family a death sentence." Xu Yang shrugged. "In short, they're planning to cause you trouble."

"Hmph, come on if you're not afraid of death." Chen Hao didn't care at all. He might have been a little wary before advancing, but now that he was about to reach the intermediate level, what was there to be afraid of? It was hard to say whether the top 100 students from the main campus's Fire Academy could even handle a War General-level demon.
