Grinding to Become the Master of the Universe

Chapter 416: Chapter 179: Farewell, Sun Chan Hall! Ten-Complete Hand Epiphany! Cultivation Speed Soars

How to channel Spiritual Energy.

How to clear the meridians.

How to draw upon the Spiritual Energy of the world to nourish his body and repair the most minute injuries from battle.

...

For a time, a strange yet harmonious scene unfolded upon these ruins, which were still thick with the stench of death and destruction from a world-ending battle.

A god-like expert, clad in sea-blue Ultimate Warrior power armor, was slowly and patiently demonstrating a profound and esoteric technique.

And before him, a young man in tattered black power armor stood as still as the most devout believer, his eyes closed, completely immersed in a transcendent state, oblivious to himself and the world.

In the midst of this profound inheritance, time itself lost its meaning.

The great sun rose and fell.

Wind swept through the dead city, carrying away the last traces of blood.

Rain fell, then evaporated.

It cleansed the land of all its dust and filth.

Spring passed and autumn came.

In the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.

Finally, one morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced the clouds to shine down upon the ruins...

Qin Feng, who had been standing perfectly still, suddenly shuddered!

On his attribute panel, the [Nourishing Technique] section, which had long been static, finally changed!

[Ten-Complete Hand (Uninitiated)]

[Current Proficiency: 1/10]

This tiny increase, from 0 to 1, was like breaking through a final, stubborn barrier.

In an instant, Qin Feng felt as if his entire world had become crystal clear!

Countless intricacies of the "Ten-Complete Hand" that had once seemed obscure and difficult to grasp suddenly clicked into place!

He slowly opened his eyes.

Not a trace of confusion remained in his gaze, only the brilliant light of understanding, as dazzling as the stars.

"Thank you, Master Sun."

He had just started to voice his thanks when he realized his voice was raspy from a year of disuse.

Sun Chan Hall, who stood before him, had already stopped his demonstration.

He looked at Qin Feng, a satisfied smile spreading across his simple, honest face.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Your comprehension is quite good."

He nodded, then added, "But you must remember this. To achieve the best results with the Ten-Complete Hand, this Nourishing Technique requires powerful Mental Power as a catalyst. You haven’t yet grasped how to use Mental Power, so its effectiveness will be greatly diminished."

"If you want to use the Ten-Complete Hand on yourself to speed up your cultivation, you’ll have to do it like a common Martial Artist: use your left hand to treat the right side of your body, and your right hand to treat the left. As for the effect... well, it’s barely passable. And it looks pretty stupid. You’ll just have to make do."

"..."

Hearing this, Qin Feng could only nod respectfully, engraving every one of Master Sun’s words deep into his heart.

"All right."

Sun Chan Hall waved his hand and said, "My work here is done, and it’s time I got to my own mission. You should be heading back as well."

"Thank you for the grace of your guidance, Master Sun!"

Once again, Qin Feng solemnly gave Sun Chan Hall a perfect Imperial Army salute.

This debt was far more than could be summarized by simply "saving his life" and "offering guidance."

This was the grace of being shown the true Way!

"It’s nothing."

Sun Chan Hall smiled. His seemingly simple eyes glinted with a light as deep and wise as the Star Sea itself.

He clapped Qin Feng on the shoulder, his tone becoming earnest.

"It’s as I said before."

"We humans don’t have the spore-based inheritance etched into the genes of the Greenskins. Our civilization and strength rely on being passed down from one generation to the next, like a torch."

"When you, too, become a true expert in the future, perhaps an unplanned act of kindness, a casual piece of advice, will be enough to pull a desperate youth—just as frustrated and unfulfilled as you were—out of the mire."

"And you will never know if, perhaps tens of thousands of years from now, that same youth you casually helped might grow into a world-shaking hero, one who will save billions of living stars that were otherwise destined to fall into darkness."

"This is our human legacy."

Having said his piece, he spoke no more.

"I’m off."

He gave Qin Feng a casual wave.

The next second, his magnificent figure, clad in sea-blue power armor, vanished on the spot as if he had never been there at all.

He hadn’t initiated any kind of teleportation.

He had simply vanished into thin air.

It was as if he had merely blended his form into the background of the Cosmos.

Staring at the spot where Sun Chan Hall had disappeared, Qin Feng stood for a long time, his heart filled with endless shock and emotion.

After a long while, he slowly collected his thoughts.

He opened his personal terminal and glanced at the time displayed by Hammer.

[Time elapsed since leaving Canaan Star Martial Arts University: One year and four months]

Qin Feng did a quick mental calculation.

The bloody battle with the Greenskins, from start to finish, and then his rescue by Master Sun, had taken about four months.

After that, he had been immersed in his epiphany about the "Ten-Complete Hand" for another full year.

Before he knew it, more than a year had passed.

It was time to go back.

Back to see just how much the Ten-Complete Hand, even with just one proficiency point, could accelerate his cultivation!

Qin Feng estimated it would be at least five times faster!

’Why do I get the feeling Master Sun came here specifically to personally teach me the Ten-Complete Hand?’

Qin Feng muttered to himself, puzzled.

’What’s so special about me? Why do I deserve Master Sun’s attention?’

Unable to figure it out, Qin Feng decided not to dwell on it.

With a flash of light from the Subspace Teleportation, Qin Feng’s figure vanished. When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the Teleportation Platform of Canaan Star Martial Arts University.

The rewards for his last mission had already been settled and sent to his personal account.

[Contribution Points: 7,400. Warband Reputation: 82,000.]

Including his previous balance, his current reputation was decent.

’Nineteen years until the Warband ranking tournament ends.’

’First, I’ll repair my power armor, buy resources, and then go test out the Ten-Complete Hand!’

Qin Feng was filled with excitement.
