In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 56, Mid-Level Awakener, All-Round Breakthrough

Private room.

Lin Ran did not join in; instead, she opened her terminal and wrote down simple information for everyone.

For someone like him, who is a first-choice thinker, forming a team requires reporting to higher authorities. Anyone randomly selected from this group is a genius, one in a million.

The terminal needs to return to the parent world or a connected small world to be used.

Crystal records, however, carry the risk of leakage. There are mental demon species that can see the contents of storage rings and even read information.

Therefore, in the battlefield of the heavens, for the human race, the technological terminals are actually similar to bricklaying, and the level of secrecy is higher.

The information to be reported is very simple: name and time of joining the team are all that's needed. The rest will be organized by someone else.

Once the data entry is complete, close the terminal.

Lin Ran covered the private room with spiritual energy, and Zhou Yu took out a strange statue and placed it on the table. A layer of sticky, mind-corroding curse power was attached to the spiritual energy shield.

Yan Lingfei and Mengyu, who had been playing around, took their seats, and everyone looked at Lin Ran.

"Let's all briefly explain our abilities, I'll start."

Lin Ran spread out her hands, and flames, earth crystals, wind, and darkness flashed by in turn.

"I possess four attributes: fire, earth, wind, and darkness. My fire attribute is currently at level ten. I also have some knowledge of eye techniques and martial arts."

"Yan Lingfei, come here."

"Alright, I am a single fire attribute, ninth level."

Yunzhu: "Single fire attribute, ninth level."

Mengyu: "Wind and Dark attributes, both at the eighth level."

Jian Linglong: "Sword Dao is equivalent to the tenth level of a lower-level Awakened, and in necessary situations, it is equivalent to a mid-level Awakened."

Zhou Yu: "The Cursed One's main ability is support; their strength is not commensurate with their realm. They can affect the lower three levels of mid-level Awakened Ones."

Ling Qiqi: "Single attribute, life healing, ninth level."

Nangong Yu: "Single attribute, light, primarily for purification, also has healing abilities, tenth level."

After everyone finished introducing themselves.

Lin Ran nodded.

"Well, in that case, the first goal is to break through to the mid-level Awakener before the secret realm opens, so as to deal with the powerful races from the depths of the battlefield one by one."

"Next, I will apply for a base for operations. If it is not necessary, I will try to cultivate at the base, which will make it easier to exchange cultivation experiences."

"Nothing else for now. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Lin Ran looked around, and everyone shook their heads.

Lin Ran then withdrew her spiritual energy, and Zhou Yu also put away the statue.

"Alright, let's serve the food!"

……

The meal ended relatively peacefully, with Yan Lingfei and Yunzhu keeping the atmosphere lively and preventing it from becoming too dull.

After the meal, Lin Ran received news from the location of his application. There were three locations available, and he could choose whichever he liked best.

Lin Ran wasted no time and went to check it out under the cover of night, and decided on a post location.

There are eight cultivation rooms, four living areas, twelve daily rooms, and a large enlightenment room that can accommodate ten people cultivating at the same time. There are also partitions in the middle so that they can not affect each other.

"This is it, thank you for your help."

After signing the document, Lin Ran handed it to the person who had taken him on the tour.

The man accepted the documents with a broad smile and both hands.

"No trouble at all, Mr. Lin. May I have your contact information?"

"Go find Lin Sheng, she'll tell me if anything happens."

"Alright, then I won't bother Mr. Lin any longer."

The man left with the documents, looking disappointed.

Lin Ran sent a message to Lin Sheng, saying that this logistics person was very dedicated and had followed them all the way from the human race's mother realm to the base.

Not long after, Lin Sheng arrived, still dressed in a pure black combat suit, his aura having reached the eighth level of a lower-level awakened being.

"Mr. Lin."

"Okay, have someone clean this place up. It will be my team's base from now on. If they can't contact me, they can come here to find the others."

"Now begin gathering information on the exact locations of Trist, the son of the wolf god, Gao Ming, and other alien races."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Afterwards, Lin Ran sent a message to the others and went into the Enlightenment Room to cultivate.

He didn't go before because there weren't many enlightenment rooms at the base, and he had to queue, which he found troublesome.

His cultivation speed in the Enlightenment Chamber was about three times that of normal cultivation outside, though others were unaware of this.

When the Fiery Cloud Divine Skill is running at full power, you can gain 60 experience points per hour.

Lin Ran was so engrossed in cultivation that she didn't even notice the others arriving at the camp.

On the fourth day, eleven hours later.

[Fire Cloud Divine Skill - Level 1, Experience Maxed Out]

[Skill adjustments in progress... Skill complete... Evolution in progress... Evolution complete]

[Fire Spirit Magic - Second Level LV1: 1/500]

Lin Ran's consciousness sank into his dantian, where he saw ten crimson flames transform into fiery snakes under the power of the skill panel, smoothly merging together and finally becoming a quietly burning warm red flame.

Fire attribute, mid-level Awakener, first level!

Lin Ran came to his senses and realized that the current Fire Element Technique was the most suitable technique for him, while the previous Fire Cloud Divine Technique was not a good fit.

However, due to the advancement in cultivation level, the experience cap remains unchanged, but the speed of gaining experience has decreased significantly.

After practicing for a while, Lin Ran discovered that the experience gained from the Fire Element Technique per hour had decreased to 15 points, and normal practice only yielded 5 points!

After a moment of silence, Lin Ran turned to the Earthly Yuan Technique.

With a change in the cultivation technique, the cultivation speed immediately increased.

The Enlightenment Room, with its second-tier fire attribute bonus, allows the Earth Element Technique to gain 500 experience points per hour!

[Diyuan Gong LV5: 1800/2500]

In less than two hours,

[Diyuan Gong LV5 → LV6: 1/3000]

One day and sixteen hours later,

[Earthly Elemental Skill, experience maxed out]

[Skill evolving...Evolution complete]

[Diyuan Kung-Second Level LV1: 1/500]

Subsequently, Lin Ran found and recorded one cultivation technique each for the three attributes of wind, darkness, and spirit.

Since the skill panel can be automatically adjusted, he didn't make any selections.

【Attribute Control - Wind LV6: 2140/3000】

Thirty-six hours later,

【Wind Spirit Spell - Second Level LV1: 1/500】

……

【Attribute Control - Dark LV4: 1830/2000】

Forty-six hours later,

[Dark Spirit Magic - Level 1: 1/500]

……

Fifty-five hours later.

【Soul Nourishing Technique - Level 2 LV1: 1/500】

[Spiritual Aura Specialization LV6→LV7: 220/3500]

Lin Ran let out a long breath and brought up the skill panel.

Martial Arts:

【Dragon Soaring Skill LV3: 10/1500】

【Wind and Thunder LV2: 290/1000】

[Hidden Dragon Body LV5: 1230/2500]

……

Miscellaneous skills:

【Curse Heart LV1: 400/500】

【Eye Technique: Instant Slash LV5: 10/2500】

[Cooking Skill LV4: 410/2000]

……

Spiritual Qi Path:

[Spiritual Aura Specialization LV7: 220/3500]

【Soul Nourishing Technique - Level 2 LV1: 1/500】

【Wind Spirit Spell - Second Level LV1: 1/500】

[Dark Spirit Magic - Level 1: 1/500]

[Fire Element Technique - Second Level LV1: 1/500]

[Diyuan Kung-Second Level LV1: 1/500]

All those who had entered the mid-level Awakened Realm had reached the Spiritual Qi Path.

Martial arts are quite special; without the use of spiritual energy, one's level is only equivalent to the sixth or seventh level of a lower-level awakened being.

Pupil techniques are related to the quality and quantity of energy provided; they are a type of technique with no upper limit, only limitations on range and attack method.

Currently, the range of eye techniques can be limited to objects that can be seen, whether real or conceptual/illusory.

And mid-level Awakened Ones, who are able to fly in the battlefield of the heavens.

After making a final decision, Lin Ran left the Enlightenment Room.
