Ling Wu recalled for a moment before she started speaking; actually, the matter was quite simple, and she quickly described it once over.
After hearing what Ling Wu said, Ling Chen frowned tightly. From these matters, he did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
"Did anything strange happen?"
Ling Chen asked.
What Ling Wu mentioned were all trivial, commonplace matters, and it was difficult to clear his thoughts momentarily.
"Something strange?"
Ling Wu thought for a moment and said, "Nothing strange really, except that I was so sleepy last night that I couldn't help but fall asleep several times."
Ling Chen looked at Ling Wu's bloodshot beautiful eyes and felt a touch of emotion in his heart; the girl probably didn't sleep well last night!
"It's okay, you go and rest."
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Ling Wu might be sleepy now, some memories might not be clear, it's better to wait until she has rested well before discussing further.
"Okay."
Ling Wu nodded slightly, then got up and left.
When she opened the door, a gust of wind blew in suddenly, Ling Wu's expression became serious, and she turned back and said, "Young Master, the wind last night seemed a bit off."
"Uh, what wind?"
Ling Chen looked up.
Ling Wu walked to the window and lowered it, leaving only a small crack. She then said, "At that time, you were unconscious, and I suddenly felt the wind blowing. But, the strength of the wind was definitely not small, it's absolutely impossible with just a crack!"
Ling Wu realized the anomaly just now when she felt the wind at the door.
"Okay, I understand, you go and rest."
Ling Chen nodded.
This clue was indeed very good, he planned to think it over first, then investigate further. After all, it concerned cultivation, a significant matter, and he must be cautious.
After half an hour, Ling Wu came in again, this time not empty-handed, but bringing a meal. Usually, Xiao Wu took care of the daily meals.
"Didn't I tell you to go rest first?"
Ling Chen couldn't help but reprimand with a stern face.
"A little rest for Xiao Wu is a small matter, but a hungry stomach for the young master is a major issue!"
Xiao Wu said with a cheerful smile.
You could see she was quite exhausted. But in his presence, she still laughed and talked. However, her smile had a unique charm that eased people's hearts, making even his mood much better.
"Young Master, you eat by yourself; I will go to sleep first, I'm dead tired. After you finish, just leave the dishes here, I'll get up later and clean up."
Xiao Wu said and then ran back to her room.
"This little girl, truly makes one's heart ache!"
Ling Chen said affectionately.
After the meal, Ling Chen sat crossed-legged on the bed and continued to ponder. He had to figure out the source of spiritual power and how to cultivate it as soon as possible.
"Could it really have something to do with the wind?"
Ling Chen muttered to himself.
To be honest, although the matter was somewhat weird, what does wind have to do with spiritual power? Could it be that the wind blew the spiritual energy into his body?
"Wind?"
A sudden insight flashed through Ling Chen's mind.
"Right, air movement forms wind, so if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth moves, it should also create wind, right?"
"If that's the case, then the wind Xiao Wu mentioned must be the flow of spiritual energy. When could this phenomenon be triggered? I heard from the Family Head that cultivating spiritual techniques will produce a suction force that attracts the surrounding spiritual energy, this explanation seems quite logical!"
"So now the most important step is how to transform spiritual energy into spiritual power?"
As he deduced to this point, Ling Chen once again hit a dead end. Let alone not having a spiritual technique, even if he had one, he wouldn't attract spiritual power without cultivation, nor could he transform spiritual energy into spiritual power.
Time passed by, and Ling Chen lost track of time as he pondered. However, even as evening approached, he still had not figured it out.
Just then, Ling Wu came in again.
After three hours of rest, Ling Wu's complexion looked much better. As soon as she entered the room, she busied herself cleaning up the dining table.
"Young Master, how is it going?"
Ling Wu asked with a smile.
Ling Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Not yet, haven't got a clue!"
"Oh, it's okay, don't rush, think slowly."
Ling Wu said with a smile.
As Ling Wu finished cleaning up and came back, Ling Chen's gaze shifted and fell on Ling Wu, making her feel a bit creeped out by such a look.
"That, Xiao Wu, have you ever beaten someone up?"
Ling Chen asked.
"Of course I have."
Ling Wu naturally nodded.
"Have you ever knocked someone out?"
Ling Chen asked again.
"I haven't done that. Young Master, who do you want to beat up?"
Ling Wu became somewhat interested.
"Then, can you help me knock someone out?"
Ling Chen continued.
Ling Wu nodded heavily, eager to try: "Tell me, young master, who do you want to knock out? Just give the order, and I'll do it immediately!"
"Um, well, it's actually, me."
Ling Chen spoke.
"What?"
Ling Wu was dumbfounded. The young master wanted her to knock him out? What was going on? Had the young master's brain been affected by his previous unconsciousness?
Seeing Ling Wu's expression, Ling Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Wu, I think my Spiritual Power is related to being unconscious, so please do me a favor and knock me out! Because doing it myself feels a bit cruel."
Hearing Ling Chen's words, Ling Wu was completely stunned, her face displaying disbelief. Was the young master too crazy? To even think of such a thing?
"Well, young master. I think you should consider this carefully. There's no need to resort to such extreme measures right away."
Ling Wu, having regained her composure, said with a smile.
The young master was really cruel, even coming up with such a request to knock himself out? Could his suggestion that she warm his bed also be his genuine intention?
Ling Wu silently stepped back, distancing herself from her young master. Although she was the young master's maid and would follow him all her life, she was still young. Couldn't the young master wait a few more years?
"You also think it's a bit cruel? Then let's wait!"
Ling Chen thought for a moment and said.
"Mm."
Ling Wu sighed in relief.
The young master was not only cruel but also crazy.
Her knocking the young master out was genuinely something she couldn't bring herself to do!
"Are you hungry, young master? Shall I go cook?"
Ling Wu felt a bit fearful being alone with him in the room.
"Not hungry."
Ling Chen shook his head.
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Ling Wu could only sit obediently to one side. Her eyes occasionally assessing Ling Chen, ready to run if the young master lost control and made a move on her. She couldn't allow a moment of impulse to jeopardize the young master's future.
Before they knew it, half an hour had passed. To Ling Chen, it felt like just a moment, but to Ling Wu, it felt endlessly long, like years dragging by.
When night fell, Ling Wu felt a chill.
"Wind?"
Ling Wu looked towards Ling Chen.
At this moment, Ling Chen also appeared somewhat dazed.
Because he clearly sensed something peculiar about himself.
Stream after stream of cool energy surged from all directions towards his body, and the energy entering his body almost instantly transformed into streams of black vapor, finally all converging into his Dantian.
As the black vapor entered, the mass of black gas in the Dantian, looking like a black nebula, suddenly intensified a bit.
"Spiritual Power!"
Ling Chen cheered excitedly.
Throughout the day, his body's Spiritual Power hadn't recovered at all, but in just this little while, it had recovered by one percent.
"Young master, can you finally cultivate?"
Ling Wu also felt happy for Ling Chen.
But seeing Ling Chen's excited state, she slowly got up and quietly left the room.
Unaware of Ling Wu's departure, Ling Chen's mind was wholly immersed in his Dantian.
"Is this nature's spiritual energy?"
Ling Chen slightly closed his eyes, clearly sensing countless tiny specks converging towards him.
"This is really amazing, I can cultivate without even using a Spiritual Technique? And I don't even have to control it?"
Excitement tinged Ling Chen's voice.
A whole half hour passed before Ling Chen managed to calm his excited emotions. Over these two days, he had experienced great ups and downs, his feelings complex.
After the failed awakening, he felt he had no possibility of cultivating again. Who would have thought, just one night of unconsciousness later, he would have Spiritual Power in his body, and even easily defeat Ling Feng, who had just advanced to the first level of the Condensing Qi realm?
What was even more terrifying was that his own cultivation level had reached the late stage of the first level of the Condensing Qi realm, surpassing Ling Feng who had been awakened for several days!
And now, he could even cultivate automatically, without even using a Spiritual Technique.
"Pop!"
A strange noise came from the Dantian, as if something had broken.
"Condensing Qi realm second level?"
Ling Chen was dumbfounded.
He hadn't been cultivating for long, and his cultivation level had already made another breakthrough?
"Calling me useless? You are the useless one! If I'm useless, then everyone in Guangling City is even worse than useless, right?"
Ling Chen murmured.
In less than two days, he had transformed from a failed awakening to a genuine Cultivator!
Such speed,even compared to his father from the past, was perhaps crushingly overwhelming, right?
