Chat group: Taming Kuina, controlling Cynthia

After Carlos spent two days with Calunia, Gu Beichen returned to his home in Sinnoh's Hundred City.

The daily sign-in rewards made him happy.

"Has everything been taken care of on Karuno's side?"

As soon as I got home, Cynthia came up to me and asked me questions.

Although she had already confirmed it via video, she still wanted to hear Gu Beichen say it in person.

"Of course, what problem could there be with me taking action?"

Gu Beichen smiled, put his arm around Xirona, and gave her a light kiss on the cheek, his face full of pride.

"Come on, this time it's all thanks to Wataru and Daigo's help."

Cynthia gave a soft hum, "Remember to thank them properly."

"I know, I'll treat them to dinner another day."

Cynthia couldn't help but laugh.

"Watari might like eating, but Daigo would prefer rare minerals, right?"

"Yes."

Gu Beichen nodded.

That Hoenn champion was obsessed with mining all day long, and even the league couldn't do anything about it.

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance and was grooming Mikoli to succeed him.

In this respect, he and Gu Beichen were like-minded—they were both very good at finding successors.

Where did Xiaoxue and Nazi go?

Gu Beichen looked around and searched the entire manor with his mental power, but he couldn't find them.

Cynthia glared at him.

"Where else could I go? Of course, I'll help you handle things at Beichen Group! By the way, Naz is planning to move her office to the Beichen Building in Baidai City, and she asked me to tell you."

But it's pointless to say anything; you, the hands-off manager, don't care at all.

Gu Beichen grinned and moved closer.

"You understand me best! Let's just move the headquarters here too, it'll be more convenient that way."

He was planning a new strategy for the group after the chat group was established.

In particular, it is necessary to build several large-scale experimental bases to prepare for future research on technologies from other worlds.

One of them would be best built underground in the manor, but construction cannot begin for the time being to avoid damaging the environment.

"If only I could get my hands on the sealing techniques from Naruto, or the space-time magic from Bleach..."

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

Cynthia took a vanilla ice cream out of the refrigerator and sat down next to him.

"Moving here is indeed convenient; it'll be closer for you to teach everyone cultivation in the future."

Besides…

She winked slyly, "I bet Karuno will move back within three days."

"With you gone these past few days, we've finally realized just how tempting delicious food can be."

"Isn't it?"

Gu Beichen raised an eyebrow, "Karuna has more self-control than you, you glutton."

I even saved her enough beast meat to last her a month."

"How about we make a bet?"

Cynthia licked her ice cream and looked at him defiantly.

"Just bet!"

Gu Beichen was not to be outdone.

Suddenly noticing the ice cream smeared on the corner of her mouth, he grinned mischievously and leaned closer…

Three days later, Gu Beichen finished his morning exercise and entered the newly arranged training room.

He skillfully opened the group chat interface and issued instructions to the system.

"Activate the advanced martial arts training room."

The system immediately deducted 10 points and teleported him to the familiar white space.

This 20-meter square training room has become a place he visits every day, and he will not leave until he has pushed his body to its limit.

"The spiritual energy here is so comfortable."

He took a deep breath and stretched his muscles.

Although the concentration of spiritual energy in the Pokémon world is not low, it is not conducive to human cultivation.

The spiritual energy here is easier to absorb, and the efficiency is several times that of the outside world.

In this world dominated by elves, humans need to go through multiple refinements to absorb spiritual energy, a complicated process.

Even so, the long-term exposure to spiritual energy has made the people here far more physically robust than ordinary people.

An hour and a half later, a crisp sound suddenly came from inside Gu Beichen's body.

The sound of his punches accompanied by thunderous roars seemed to transform him completely.

The meridians throughout the body are unobstructed, and even the pores become exceptionally sensitive.

Even more amazingly, his teeth began to naturally replace each other.

As the old teeth fall out, new teeth grow in rapidly, increasing the number from 32 to 36.

This change made him truly feel a breakthrough in his realm.

Gu Beichen sensed that his internal organs were undergoing a tempering process.

The next step is to harmonize the internal organs and muscles and bones to achieve a state of internal and external harmony.

This requires time to accumulate experience; even with his talent, it would probably take him half a month to a month.

"Ugh... That smells awful!"

After finishing his cultivation, he found himself covered in sticky residue, with dark red and black grime on his clothes and skin, emitting a pungent, fishy odor.

He immediately held his breath, quickly left the training room, and teleported directly to the bathroom.

He first used his telekinesis to crush the grime and dirty clothes, then flushed them down the toilet. After that, he turned on the shower and rinsed himself seven or eight times until only the scent of shower gel remained on his body.

After drying myself off and changing into clean clothes, I felt refreshed.

He felt much lighter than before, and his condition was better than ever before.

"We need to deduce the internal energy cultivation method as soon as possible."

He walked to the backyard, glanced at Cynthia and the others who were cultivating, but didn't disturb them. Instead, he lay down on a chair and opened the group chat.

Group owner Gu Beichen.

Good morning, everyone!

[Ding! Group owner Gu Beichen has successfully checked in and received 100 points.]

Gabriel.

Good morning...yawn...(sleepy)

Gabriel.

Damn it! Why do you get 100 points every day? That's not fair!

Group owner Gu Beichen.

...You didn't stay up all night playing games again, did you? It's already past nine o'clock.

Gabriel.

　Mind your own business! So what if it's nine o'clock? Isn't that morning? Humph!

【Guina】

So lazy... I get up at six every morning to practice swordsmanship.

Saeko Busujima posted an emoji, indicating that she is preparing for the apocalypse while envying Gabriel's leisurely life.

Gabriel smiled smugly.

Guina reminded her.

"Be careful, your sister might come after you."

She knew very well that Gabriel had a formidable and strict older sister.

Gabriel immediately retorted.

"Stop trying to scare me! I've been practicing cultivation lately!"

Group owner Gu Beichen interjected.

You should really pay more attention.

"Besides, the divine spell you gave me is too difficult; I simply can't learn it at my current level."

It turns out that Gabriel had given Gu Beichen a spatial bracelet before, and as a return gift, she gave him a divine spell.

But Gu Beichen couldn't figure it out even after studying it all day.

Gabriel complained.

"You're really dreaming! You actually want to break divine magic? Wait until you become a god before you think about it!"

Unlike others, Gabriel believed that Gu Beichen was just an ordinary superpowered person—although this "ordinary" was...

It refers to someone who is extremely capable, incredibly lucky, and also handsome.

Chapter Fifteen: Rapid Advancement in Martial Arts! The Group Leader's Breakthrough to the Transformation Realm Revealed

Kuina wasn't very interested in analyzing profound topics like divine magic; she preferred to spend her time practicing swordsmanship.

Recently, she has been using the auxiliary functions of the training room frequently, and her martial arts have improved significantly. However, she is not very lucky, and the points she gets each time she signs in are pitifully small.

At the kendo dojo, only Kuina, Koushirou, and Zoro are currently focused on practicing traditional Chinese martial arts.

Koushirou has completed the initial tests on traditional Chinese martial arts and internal energy cultivation. Considering efficiency, they decided to focus on improving traditional Chinese martial arts first.

Gu Beichen tagged Yue Buqun in the group chat, asking him how many martial arts manuals he had collected recently.

He had just broken through to the Transformation Realm and was preparing to start cultivating internal energy, but the techniques he had were not yet perfect and he needed more references.

In exchange, he sent his optimized version of the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" to Yue Buqun, which increased efficiency by 50% without affecting the quality of internal energy.

Yue Buqun had just come out of Plum Manor in West Lake when he saw the message. He immediately accepted the red envelope and began to carefully study the new version of the martial arts technique.

He tried it, and the effect was indeed as Gu Beichen had said, which amazed him.

When Ip Man heard that Gu Beichen had broken through to the Transformation Realm in just fourteen days, and even reached the Transformation Realm from the Anjin Realm in only seven or eight days, he was speechless.

It took him twenty years to reach the late stage of Dark Force, and he only recently managed to reach the perfection of Dark Force by relying on the meat of ferocious beasts and the training room.

This gap was a bit of a blow to him; people really can't be compared.

Yue Buqun excitedly sent a message.

"Group owner, the cultivation techniques you gave me are too powerful! Congratulations on breaking through to the Transformation Realm! I just defeated Ren Woxing at Plum Manor in West Lake and obtained the Star Absorbing Technique and the martial arts manuals of Huang Zhonggong and others, as well as some cultivation techniques from minor sects. I will send them to you now."

A system notification sounded, and Gu Beichen received a red envelope from Yue Buqun.

Upon opening it, dozens of martial arts manuals appeared before him.

He quickly skimmed through it and soon grasped the content.

"Apart from the Star Absorbing Technique, the others are not very good."

Gu Beichen put away the manual and muttered to himself, "It seems I need to find some more advanced techniques to refer to, preferably Zuo Lengchan's Frost True Qi, Shaolin's Yi Jin Jing, or Wudang's Tai Chi Manual."
