Chapter 252 Training
"You...you leveled up?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at Han Kexin in disbelief.
"Thanks to the mental pressure you put on me yesterday, I finally broke through the bottleneck that had been bothering me for a long time," Han Kexin said calmly.
"That's wonderful." Qin Xiaochuan said with relief. He was genuinely happy for Han Kexin. "The reason you competed with me in spiritual power like that yesterday was because of this, wasn't it?"
"No," Han Kexin replied in denial.
"What was it for?" Qin Xiaochuan asked curiously. If it was for that reason, what other reason could have made her work so hard yesterday?
"It's just because I'm not willing to accept it," Han Kexin said calmly.
"Unwilling to accept it?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at Han Kexin in confusion, but she showed no intention of explaining.
Unwilling? Unwilling to be surpassed by me? Qin Xiaochuan kept replaying Han Kexin's words in his mind.
He recalled that yesterday in the mental space, he inexplicably called her name. It was because at that moment, in his subconscious, he felt that his strength had caught up with or even surpassed Han Kexin's. She, who was always sensitive, could naturally feel this subtle change in emotion. So what would she feel in her subconscious?
Suddenly, a strange, indescribable feeling welled up in his heart, and in an instant, he suddenly understood what Han Kexin wanted to express.
The temple suddenly fell silent, with the faint sound of the wind whistling past coming from outside the door.
After a long while, Qin Xiaochuan looked intently at Han Kexin and said, "Now what do you think of the plan I proposed?"
Han Kexin stopped what she was doing, looked at Qin Xiaochuan for a long while, and then asked, "Have you thought about how Shiyi would face you if she knew we were the Blood Witch Clan?"
Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback. He had thought about this question before, but every time he thought about it, he felt confused. Deep down, he even had some resistance to the idea of becoming a blood witch.
"No matter what choice she makes, I won't stand by and watch her suffer," Qin Xiaochuan said without hesitation.
Han Kexin sighed softly and said, "Originally, I would never have agreed to your plan no matter what, but now that I have reached level 8 in spiritual power, even if the plan fails, I am confident that I can protect your safety."
"Really? So you agree?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at her excitedly.
"But!" Han Kexin's voice suddenly turned cold. "Before that, you need to do more training. You must have mastered a new skill yesterday. This skill is very powerful, but it still needs further refinement and you need to be able to use it freely."
Qin Xiaochuan knew she was referring to the 'spiritual realm,' and yesterday was the first time he had used it, so he was indeed quite unfamiliar with it.
"No problem," Qin Xiaochuan said confidently. Even if Han Kexin hadn't said anything, he would have done it anyway.
"Then, when you can defeat me in the mental space, I will let you carry out that plan."
"Huh?" Qin Xiaochuan stared at Han Kexin in disbelief. If Han Kexin had said this yesterday, Qin Xiaochuan would have felt no pressure, but now Han Kexin was already at level 8 in spiritual power. Although the difference in levels was only one, the change in strength was earth-shattering. Prefer fantasy novels? Click here.
The higher the level of spiritual power, the more difficult it is to improve. However, with each level increase, the amount of spiritual power stored in the body at least quadruples, and the improvement in other attributes is also significant.
That's why Qin Xiaochuan has seen many level 7 spirit masters, but there are very few level 8 or above, and he has never even seen a level 9 one.
Back in the underground space of Yuheng Group, five level 7 spiritual masters, Han Kexin, Zhou Bin, Mo Yu, Cheng Xiaoman, and Guo Shiyi, fought against Si Haolong, who was at level 8, and it took them a long time to barely win. Keep in mind that Han Kexin was already in the bottleneck period of breaking through to level 8 at that time.
"Are you sure this isn't a veiled rejection of my proposal?" Qin Xiaochuan asked Han Kexin with a wry smile.
"That depends on how you interpret it. Kaiming's strength is no less than mine. If you can't even beat me, don't even think about defeating Kaiming," Han Kexin said noncommittally.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaochuan clenched his fist, as if he had made up his mind. "Okay, I promise you, I will help Aunt Jiang regain her memories no matter what."
Han Kexin gave him a meaningful look and said, "If you want to defeat me, you need to make full use of your new skill, otherwise you have no chance at all."
Actually, it's not entirely without a chance. After all, he still possesses the Witch's Ring, and the level 8 spiritual power within it is no less than that of Han Kexin. In addition, he has skills that he is constantly improving. Although he has always been slow in modifying his skills, his strongest skill, Flaming Fist, only reached level A.
At that time, he only had level 6 spiritual power, and the highest level of skill he could release was only A-level. However, the Flaming Fist was modified by him using Samadhi True Fire. The higher the level of spiritual power used, the greater its power. If he used level 8 spiritual power from the Witch's Ring to release it, he was even confident that he could reach the power of S-level.
On the other hand, Han Kexin has only just reached level 8 and hasn't had the chance to learn S-level skills yet, so it will be difficult for her to break through her Qilin Armor defense.
Of course, he couldn't tell Han Kexin these thoughts, otherwise who knows what would happen during the competition, and he didn't want to be blasted away again.
"Speaking of which, what were your feelings about my new skill, 'Mental Domain', at the time?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.
Han Kexin helped Xiaoying tie her hair into a bun, and then said thoughtfully, "If I had to describe the feeling, it's like I've been given a status skill. The acceleration effect of all my skills has been reduced. Otherwise, I should have been able to easily dodge your skills."
Qin Xiaochuan nodded. It was pretty much what he had expected. The effect he had applied to Han Kexin was to reduce her speed. So, could it also reduce the power of her skills or her defense?
After all, battles in the mental space may seem similar to those in the real world, but in essence, they are a reflection of reality in the mind. In principle, as long as you can interfere with the opponent's mental energy, you can change everything in the mental world.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiaochuan eagerly said, "You're right, this skill does require more practice. When can we start?"
Han Kexin yawned, covered her mouth, shook her head, and said, "Although I just reached level 8 in spiritual power, my spirit hasn't fully recovered yet. Today, your sparring partner is Zhou Bin." As she spoke, she half-closed her eyes, as if she were about to fall asleep at any moment.
It looks just like a cat! Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but think.
