Chapter 305 - 34: Anya’s Reward (Part 2)

Chapter 305: Chapter 34: Anya’s Reward (Part 2)

The young man sounded a little confused. "Why does it feel like there’s a power vibrating inside me?"

The Female Knight’s voice was full of joy. "That’s your Qi and Blood transforming. Just hold on for about another half an hour, and your Qi and Blood Power should successfully ignite."

The conversation that followed took a strange turn.

"Does it have to take that long?"

"I heard you men like it to last longer. If you’re worried about your stamina, I can control the pace."

"No, I mean the Qi and Blood transformation is taking too long."

"The ’Holy Joyful Qi and Blood Secret Technique’ we’re using already shortens the transformation time considerably. A normal Secret Technique would require at least a day."

"The Holy Joyful Secret Technique? What a strange name."

"But its Effect is excellent, isn’t it?"

The talking stopped.

Only the sounds of the Secret Technique in motion remained, maintaining an extremely precise rhythm.

「One minute later.」

The young man broke the silence.

"I have an idea. Maybe I can use Divination to speed up the Qi and Blood transformation."

"Huh? You can use Divination for this?"

"Of course. Divination can be applied to anything."

"Alright, what do you plan to do?"

"This afternoon, I borrowed two books on Qi and Blood Secret Skills from the library and did some research. I deduced a simple diagram of Qi and Blood energy levels, and I want to try it out."

"You’re the first person I’ve ever seen use Divination to analyze a Qi and Blood Secret Skill. You really are a genius!"

"I need a few sheets of paper to do some calculations."

"You’re going to perform Divination calculations while stimulating your Qi and Blood? You geniuses really do things in peculiar ways!"

The Female Knight’s words weren’t a complaint, just an expression of her amazement.

She was very cooperative. She had the young man sit down while she steadily controlled the rhythm of the Secret Technique, allowing him to focus on his calculations.

Of course, because the Secret Technique was quite stimulating, the young man was inevitably affected. His calculation efficiency was much lower than usual.

The Female Knight watched with her own eyes as formula after formula—things she had never seen and couldn’t understand—poured from the tip of the [Pen of Contemplation].

Just two minutes later, a long string of data appeared on the paper.

"Done." A smile appeared on the young man’s face. "I’m confident I can shorten the Qi and Blood transformation time by more than eighty percent."

"Really?" The Female Knight was utterly astonished.

A reduction of more than eighty percent meant it would take less than six minutes—an astonishing improvement from the original half an hour.

Afterward, the Female Knight witnessed a Genius Level method firsthand.

Because of the "Deep Linking," she could clearly sense through her own Qi and Blood Power that the Qi and Blood inside the young man’s body had suddenly begun to oscillate with extreme regularity.

The Female Knight was flabbergasted. "How did you do that?"

The young man let out a HUFF and explained, "By using Secret Divination to calculate a specific Tier Two Magic Power spectrum, it’s possible to induce a resonant oscillation in the Qi and Blood."

He paused for a moment, his smile deepening. "It seems my idea was completely correct."

The Female Knight expressed her admiration for the genius in her own unique way. "My dear genius, may I kiss you?"

She didn’t wait for an answer, expressing the love in her heart with the most ardent of actions.

Only five minutes had passed when the Female Knight’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and even her movements in performing the Secret Technique faltered for a moment.

She sensed with extraordinary clarity that after the Qi and Blood oscillation inside the young man’s body climbed to a peak, it bizarrely transformed into a Qi and Blood vortex.

The Qi and Blood that had been freely circulating throughout the young man’s body was drawn to the vortex, rapidly converging within it.

And this change in quantity immediately brought about a change in quality.

An intangible flame—the very flame of life ignited by this transformation—kindled in the center of the vortex and began to grow rapidly.

The speed of its growth completely upended the Female Knight’s understanding.

The Qi and Blood Power had finally been ignited!

The Female Knight’s worldview was dealt a heavy blow. "Heavens! It seems you’ve created an incredibly powerful Qi and Blood Secret Skill."

The young man didn’t agree. "It’s just a simple Secret Technique. I only spent half an hour devising it. I wouldn’t call it ’incredibly powerful’."

But the Female Knight disagreed. "You’ve clearly performed so many miracles, yet you’re always so modest."

The young man changed the subject, teasing, "The protective suit does have a slight channeling Effect on Qi and Blood, but now that I’ve ignited my Qi and Blood Power, I find it’s getting in the way. Don’t you think?"

The Female Knight strongly agreed. "I think so too."

*****

「An hour passed quietly.」

The Female Knight’s formidable stamina greatly surprised Mo Ning.

After the Secret Technique ended, her pretty face showed no signs of fatigue. Mo Ning, on the other hand, felt a little tired.

"My dear Mr. Mo Ning, you should get some rest. I’ll go to the kitchen and prepare dinner for you."

For some reason, Anya had suddenly taken a liking to the address "Mr. Mo Ning."

In the past hour, she had tirelessly called him that twenty times.

But the "Mr. Mo Ning" from the Noble Lady’s lips was completely different from Reina’s.

The latter was mostly respect, while the former carried seven parts intimacy, two parts affection, and only one part reverence.

"MWAH—"

Anya left a little mark with her lips and walked toward the bedroom door, her fair, tender feet bare.

She took a few light steps, then suddenly turned back with an alluring smile. "I like this big bed. It’s much more comfortable than the one in the newcomer’s dormitory."

Mo Ning instantly understood the subtext of her words—she hoped there would always be a place for her there.

He smiled and gave the Noble Lady the answer she most wanted to hear: "You’re always welcome in my apartment."
