"So comfortable."
Lu An let out a low cry of comfort. After his Cultivation Technique upgraded to Blazing Vajra Body, some faint red patterns appeared on the sides of his light golden shoulders, like burning flames.
【Point addition complete. The host only needs to circulate the Cultivation Technique to return to a normal state.】
Clenching his right fist tightly, feeling the sense of full power coming from all over his body, Lu An let out a long breath. This was the first time he had felt his own strength so clearly, making him unable to help but purse his lips. Now, he finally had the capital to establish himself in this world, no longer needing to worry about his future life. With the help of Little Assistant in the future, he would only become stronger and stronger.
To hell with being a porter, he wasn't doing it anymore!
"Little Assistant, thank you."
Lu An silently and sincerely thanked in his heart.
Thankfully, Little Assistant had suddenly appeared, otherwise, he didn't know what he would have become.
【This auxiliary's existence is to help the host. We will also live together in the future. A family doesn't talk like two families, the host doesn't need to thank.】
Looking up at the window, the rift had quietly disappeared at some point, and the sky became gray and tranquil again, as if nothing had happened.
"Knock knock."
"Xiao An, are you asleep? Open the door."
The door knocked twice. Shen Li's voice came from outside the door. Lu An quickly went over and opened the door.
Shen Li, wearing a set of pajamas, walked in quickly and looked at Lu An, asking, "Are you okay?"
"What could be wrong with me? It's just that rift just now was a bit scary."
"It's good you're okay. You were shouting blindly just now, I thought something had happened to you."
After confirming with a glance up and down that Lu An was fine, Shen Li's tense nerves relaxed with a sigh of relief. She waved her hand and slowly walked out of the room, "Go to sleep quickly, you still have to go to school tomorrow. The Xuantian Division should issue a notice about the rift tomorrow, just wait for the announcement."
Watching Shen Li return to her room, Lu An closed the door, went back to his desk, opened his computer, and entered a large forum.
《Shock! The night sky suddenly underwent this change, who was behind it?!》
《Who knows why there was a rift in the sky? That gray airflow makes me a bit scared, and if you stare at it for too long, it feels like someone is whispering in your ear.》
Clicking on a post, opinions were divided. Some said the apocalypse had arrived, some said powerful individuals were experimenting with Yuan Technique, and some said this was the reawakening of spiritual energy, the descent of myriad worlds, the coming of the golden age, the only one in eternity, with prodigies emerging together, and so on.
Most were just flooding with comments and spouting nonsense, only a few were seriously asking for guidance.
Randomly scrolling through the forum, he didn't see any useful information, but rather a bunch of idiots bragging everywhere. Shaking his head, Lu An closed his computer, lay back on his bed, and re-entered dreamland.
...
Early the next morning, Shen Li's knocking on the door came on time, waking Lu An from his dream.
"Get up, hurry down to wash up and eat breakfast, there's not enough time."
The pleasant voice speaking words like a Mother made Lu An feel a sense of hazy illusion, as if he had returned to his teenage years.
Smacking his lips, he stretched and walked out of the room to get ready to wash up...
After finishing breakfast, Lu An busily got dressed with Shen Li, and they left the house together.
On the way to school, the two passed a quiet path. Lu An, feeling something, glanced towards the depths of the path. He seemed to have just felt an extremely disgusting evil energy, but he didn't investigate further. Even if there was something inside, the public security officers from the public security office would handle it, it had nothing to do with him.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu An communicated with the auxiliary in his heart: "Xiao Fu, I forgot to ask before, how do I get Source Energy points?"
【Source Energy points are the spirituality of living beings. Anything with life will have Source Energy points, which can be absorbed after their death. The amount of spirituality depends on whether their Soul is strong or not. Like the two evil entities that previously corroded the host, because they were Soul-like entities themselves, their Souls were stronger compared to other creatures, so their spirituality was naturally a bit more.】
After listening to the System's explanation, Lu An stroked his chin and thought thoughtfully: "So Source Energy points are the spirituality of living beings' Souls, and I can absorb them after death? Wouldn't I take off in one go if I found a slaughterhouse?"
【This auxiliary has a standard for absorbing spirituality and converting it into Source Energy points. For example, the spirituality on ordinary birds, beasts, and insects mostly doesn't reach the level of 1 Source Energy point. There are a few exceptions that can reach it, but the number won't be too many. With this time, the host might as well go kill demons, evil entities, fierce beasts, or people. The demons and evil entities just arrived in this world last night and haven't adapted yet, their strength isn't very strong. Go find and kill them, there's a lot of Source Energy and they're easy to find, isn't that better?】
【Furthermore, the host must personally kill them to absorb all the Source Energy points, otherwise, only a small portion can be absorbed.】
..."Alright."
Lu An pondered over the three options given by the System. Currently, the only feasible option was to go kill demons and evil entities. Fierce beasts were in the wilderness, and the wild was too dangerous; he might die if he wasn't careful. As for killing people, he couldn't bring himself to do it without any grudges or enmity. He considered himself not a good person, but he was also not a perverted murderer.
Chatting and bickering with the auxiliary along the way, they unknowingly arrived at the school. The autumn air was thick, and Students were coming and going at the school gate, the place bustling with noise.
Quite a few female Students were dressed lightly, making someone unconsciously glance a couple more times.
On both sides of the gate of One High, a stone-carved Chinese dragon coiled, with four large characters "One High" carved in the middle. The calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, like a dragon and snake moving, and one could even feel a slight sharpness from these four characters, clearly the work of a master.
Walking into the school, Shen Li immediately attracted the attention of a group of boys. Her beautiful face, perfect figure, and cold temperament seemed to say 'strangers keep away'. Lu An, who was next to her, also received quite a few jealous looks, but he didn't react at all, his expression calm and composed.
The reason for this was that he was bickering with Little Assistant and had no time to pay attention to other things.
Shen Li was also in her third year of high school like him, but not in the same class. For Students with extraordinary talent like Shen Li, the school specially divided them into several Lingdao classes. Only those with a talent of 5 stars or above could enter, receiving guidance on various cultivation resources, instruction from famous teachers, and regular missions led by instructors to the Spiritual Secret Realm.
This mystic realm could be seen as a virtual world. According to Shen Li, one could only enter using a crystal key and matching wristband. Inside, one could accept various missions issued by the Cultivator Association, there was an arena, and so on. The most important thing was that there was also one's own private territory where one could build houses in various styles, which truly made Students from ordinary classes like Lu An envious.
After seeing Shen Li to the teaching building where the Lingdao class was located, the two parted ways.
Class 3, Year 2.
As soon as Lu An entered the classroom and sat down, he heard several sarcastic voices coming from not far away.
"Yo, isn't this Lu An? What, you hid at home for a week, and now you finally dare to come out? Coward, haha."
"I'm dying of laughter. He was beaten up by Young Master Liu and them and didn't dare to come to school anymore. I really don't know what Gu Mengmeng saw in this trash."
"Exactly, no strength, completely useless. Isn't he just relying on having a good Sister?"
Hearing these words, Lu An glanced sideways indifferently, then withdrew his gaze.
A bunch of little kids, their trash talk couldn't even compare to internet trolls, unable to cause the slightest ripple in his heart.
Furthermore, with his current strength equivalent to being invincible at the Naling Level, squeezing them was like squeezing chicks.
Although Blazing Vajra Body is a body refinement technique, it is also an all-round improvement of physical quality. Strength will naturally increase significantly. If he accidentally fails to control his strength and smacks them to death on the spot, it would be a bit troublesome.
"Tsk, just arrived and ran into three idiots."
