"Phew, it's finally here." Chen Yi slowly exhaled.

He thought the system was pretending to be dead on purpose...

It turned out there was just a slight delay; an hour had passed since he left the secret realm before the message popped up.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the plan is completed.

"Wait a minute, the reward for comprehending a minor supernatural power isn't going to be in that kind of form, is it?"

He suddenly remembered something.

【Yes. 】

"......"

Chen Yi remained silent.

However, if one gains enlightenment in that mysterious dream space, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Because the flow of time there is really something special; one hour there can be used as at least two and a half hours.

"Never mind, it's not far from midnight now."

He simply sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate his Dao heart as usual.

After tempering his Dao heart, he opened the proficiency panel.

Two skills have already reached level 2: Body Tempering and Beast Taming.

The next two closest to level 2 should be and .

Furthermore, the and are very close to level 1, and should both be achievable in the next few days.

He had just chatted with Qin Guan and asked about the joint entrance exam of the five schools.

Qin Guan told him that Xiande Middle School had been ranked second to last for several years in a row.

Except for one school that is not even as good as Xiande, the other three schools all have better grades than Xiande.

Chen Yi certainly knew that the third place was Beastman Middle School, and that hadn't changed for many years.

As for the two schools that ranked first and second, they often competed against each other, and they were called Jiuding High School and Cangyan High School respectively.

It is said that both of these high schools have the influence of powerful sects, and more than 60% of their students are admitted to top universities every year.

Hearing this, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel a little pressured.

But for the prize money, he still had to find a way to get into the top five.

Only the top five are eligible for the grand prize; if you want to obtain the Foundation Establishment Treasure, then being in the top three is the safest bet.

Chen Yi has now refined two kinds of rare and precious materials.

According to the standards for Foundation Establishment in the Heavenly Dao, he still needs to obtain three more rare and precious materials and condense four more types of true spiritual energy.

Now that the five-school joint entrance exam offers a chance to obtain rare and precious materials, he naturally doesn't want to miss it...

Of course, although he felt a little pressure, he was also very confident in himself.

After all, with two months left before the Immortal Examination, a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining is basically among the top ranks.

You mentioned the five-school joint exam; has anyone reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage?

He thought there must be some, but the number could probably be counted on two hands.

Besides, even if it's the tenth level of Qi Refining, it's not like he can't touch it.

After all, his physical body had been tempered by the red phosphorescent fire, making him absolutely qualified to go toe-to-toe with someone at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

In addition, his own ability to condense the Nine Yin Earth Fire True Spirit Qi is also an advantage.

"I'll see if I can comprehend that minor supernatural ability in the next few days..." he murmured to himself.

[Warning: It's time for washing up and going to bed. Please do so immediately!]

Hearing the schedule broadcast again, Chen Yi felt as if he had been transported to another world.

In the secret realm, he hadn't heard any reminders about the schedule for a month.

Even without a schedule, he still practiced diligently, as if he had already gotten used to it.

He finished washing up in a minute, lay down on the bed in the blink of an eye, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

As expected, his consciousness entered that strange space again.

Just when he thought that the minor supernatural power would appear like last time, with a spinning wheel to draw from, he was informed by the system:

"Minor supernatural powers are powerful techniques that surpass ordinary spells. Their conditions for use are often quite demanding, but their power is astonishing."

"Minor supernatural powers are mostly derived from the cultivator's own cultivation techniques and spells, combined with the mysteries of heaven and earth, through repeated deductions and comprehensions."

"Some major sects have methods to help their disciples comprehend minor supernatural abilities, but these are only guidance and assistance, not direct instruction. The minor supernatural abilities that each person comprehends will be different."

Chen Yi looked thoughtful.

No wonder the system reward says "comprehension of a minor supernatural power"; the key lies in the word "comprehension".

In other words, there were no options this time, and he relied solely on his own imagination?

"But since it is a reward, this system will naturally help the host to comprehend it more quickly."

Chen Yi nodded.

After all, many of the minor supernatural abilities of those sects were developed by predecessors over decades and perfected by generations of people.

If he, an eighteen-year-old youth, didn't have the help of a system and had to figure it out on his own, who knows how long it would take.

As the system's voice faded, Chen Yi suddenly entered a state of enlightenment.

In this state, flashes of inspiration began to appear in his mind...

The Nine Yin Mystic Scripture, the Nine Yin Earth Fire True Spirit Qi, the Wraith Step, the Blood Furnace Secret Technique, and other cultivation techniques and secret skills he had practiced all transformed into points of spiritual light, in red, blue, white, and purple, intertwined together.

This is the process of fusion and enlightenment. What changes will ultimately occur, and what minor supernatural powers will be formed, no one knows.

Chen Yi felt as if he had been in a state of enlightenment for a long time, until the system's prompt woke him up.

[Warning: Your sleep time has ended. Please get up immediately!]

[Thunder Tribulation Countdown, Three...]

Chen Yi suddenly jumped out of bed to start a new day.

Unlike before, he has now mastered the true secrets of movement, and when he leaves the dormitory, he can be said to be completely unnoticed.

Even the gatekeeper almost didn't notice him climbing over the wall.

"Why is this kid here again?" the gatekeeper said, half-opening his eyes as he lay on his armchair.

In his memory, Chen Yi had been quiet for a month.

He still thought that the young man had probably given up.

That's true, who can train at such a high intensity every day?

If he were younger, he probably would have collapsed from exhaustion in three to five days.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yi reappeared today, and his strength seems to have greatly improved compared to a month ago...
