Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Su Xing sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed.

Feeling, guiding the Origin Force within his body.

Just like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil after a spring rain shower.

The layer of Origin Force armor covering Su Xing's body also protruded a few inches outwards.

This kind of progress was remarkable.

Originally, Su Xing could barely control the Origin Force to wrap around the surface of his skin.

But now, Su Xing could not only wrap it, he could also feel the subtle and different changes of the Origin Force.

The surge in Su Xing's Cultivation Level of Origin Force continued for several minutes before it slowly subsided.

Afterward, Su Xing stretched out his hands, sensing the invisible force on them.

Like wind, yet also like fire.

Invisible like wind, and as destructively powerful as fire.

A thought crossed Su Xing's mind, and a strand of Origin Force detached from his palm.

He then guided the strand of Origin Force, sending it flying towards a boulder a few meters away.

A few breaths later, the boulder was still intact.

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew by, and the boulder over a meter tall unexpectedly crumbled into fine sand.

"Tsk tsk... Crushing a boulder into sand with brute force isn't difficult..."

"But the strength of Origin Force lies in its invisibility!"

"If in combat, you silently inject Origin Force into the enemy's body, by the time the enemy realizes it, I'm afraid their internal organs will have been shaken into blood!"

Su Xing's mouth curved slightly upward, clearly very satisfied with this method of inner destruction through Origin Force.

With this skill of separating Origin Force from the body, from a few meters away,

even against a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse, Su Xing could silently assassinate them!

"Then, let's try wrapping it around the Spirit Sword next!"

A thought rose in Su Xing's heart, and the Ink Ice Sword appeared in his hand.

Immediately after, Su Xing guided the Origin Force, covering the entire Ink Ice Sword in his hand.

The Ink Ice Sword trembled slightly, emitting soft whistling sounds.

It seemed to be enjoying the touch of the Origin Force.

Su Xing slightly felt the strength of the Ink Ice Sword.

Its toughness had doubled in strength, and even the spirit within the sword seemed more abundant.

If the original Ink Ice Sword were a legendary weapon, then after covering it with Origin Force, for a brief moment it would likely surpass even a legendary existence!

When Su Xing withdrew the Origin Force, the Ink Ice Sword returned to its original state.

But Su Xing could feel that in those brief few minutes, the Ink Ice Sword had imperceptibly improved.

"So that's how it is, Origin Force can be both soft and hard..."

"Using Origin Force to nourish a Magic Artifact, thereby transforming it into an Origin Artifact... is the process of forging the Magic Artifact with Origin Force!"

"The stronger a Cultivator's Origin Force, and the longer the Origin Force is wrapped around it, the greater the enhancement of the Magic Artifact will be!"

Su Xing estimated that those Body Refinement Cultivators' life-bound Magic Artifacts must have been nourished by Origin Force for hundreds or even thousands of years to truly become Origin Artifacts, far surpassing ordinary Magic Artifacts.

After withdrawing the Origin Force, the Spirit Sword in Su Xing's hand emitted a series of whistles.

Su Xing could feel that the Ink Ice Sword seemed to be expressing dissatisfaction, as if it wanted more Origin Force.

"Don't worry, once my Origin Force grows stronger... I will feed you every day!"

Su Xing whispered a few words to the Ink Ice Sword, and it ceased its protest.

"Tsk tsk, after this simulation, my strength has probably increased by at least close to fifty percent!"

"If I want to make another breakthrough, I must consider the matter of the Broken Void Realm..."

Su Xing murmured softly, his gaze turning toward the simulation panel.

On the afternoon of July 29, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing promptly began a new round of simulation.

"Begin simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation consumes 4700 points of energy, remaining energy is 15.04 million points, remaining number of simulations is unlimited.]

[Simulation started!]

[Extracting a green talent costs 1000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, extracting a Purple Talent costs 100,000 energy points, do you wish to extract?]

"Extract Purple Talent!"

Su Xing chanted silently.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Purple Talent: Friend of Animals!]

[Friend of Animals]: A Purple Talent, you possess an astonishing attraction and affinity for all animals and spirit beasts, easily garnering their liking, and they have an innate trust in you. You can also understand the languages of all animals and spirit beasts.

"Hm? This talent... seems like an advanced version of the Beast Speech level ten I had gotten before?"

Su Xing arched his eyebrows, remembering the level ten Beast Speech talent he had acquired.

It was when he got caught by that damned Zong for the first time and almost refined into a Human Pill.

At that time, that damned Zong brought out a very strange Gu Insect.

If it wasn't for Su Xing being able to understand the language of the Gu Insects, he would have probably been tortured to the brink.

"Compared to the level ten Beast Speech talent, the Purple Talent Friend of Animals... seems to have the added ability to win animal affection?"

"It's just unknown how potent the effect of winning their affection is."

Su Xing pondered reflectively.

The talent to gain favor with spirit beasts wasn't bad; if there was a chance in the future to enter the Cultivation World, maybe he could contract a Spirit Pet.

If being a Descendant of Shennong means affinity with plants, then Friend of Animals is the affinity for animals; both are of the same category.

"However... the most urgent thing for me now is to improve my Cultivation Level even further!"

"Friend of Animals can directly replace level ten Beast Speech... If extracted at the right time, it can even save the money for an additional talent slot; not a bad deal!"

Su Xing murmured.

Afterward, Su Xing set a target plan for this simulation session.

"If I could take another step further in mastering Origin Force, that would naturally be excellent..."

"Of course, beside Origin Force, it's also time to start learning Protective Gang Qi!"

"After that, it will be about seeking the secrets to breaking through to the Return to Void Realm, as well as finding the ultimate challenging location..."
