Zero exclaimed, "You don't mean you want to start right now, do you?"
Han Feng smiled without saying a word, withdrew his consciousness from the cultivation space, glanced at the time, it was exactly 11:30, and muttered to himself, "I wonder if Mengran is asleep yet."
Han Feng originally intended to find Liu Xiaoran to test the technique, but considering that Liu Xiaoran had already cultivated the Liu family's original cultivation method, he dared not take the risk before he was sure that the two would conflict.
At this moment, Han Feng stood in front of Liu Mengran's door, his finger hovering a few centimeters in front of the door panel, not dropping it for a long time.
"Mengran is, after all, a member of the Liu family. As an ancient martial arts family, her foundation should be quite good, even if she hasn't cultivated any original techniques..." Han Feng pondered as he prepared to knock on the door.
His knuckles finally tapped lightly on the door, the sound so soft he almost didn't hear it himself. After waiting a moment without response, Han Feng was considering whether to postpone it for another day when the door suddenly opened a crack.
Liu Mengran appeared behind the door, rubbing her eyes. The strap of her nightgown had slipped to one side, revealing her fair shoulder. Upon recognizing Han Feng, she instantly sobered up, her cheeks flushing red at a visible speed.
"Ah, didn't you... didn't you already..." Her voice was barely audible, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her nightgown, "...Why don't you go see Wanwan today..."
Han Feng paused for a couple of seconds before reacting, then couldn't help but laugh and cry. He reached out and ruffled Liu Mengran's slightly messy long hair: "What are you thinking about? I'm here on important business."
"Huh?" Liu Mengran froze, then her entire face flushed red, even her earlobes turned pink. "I...I'm not...that..."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Han Feng squeezed into the room and closed the door behind him. Liu Mengran jumped to the bedside like a startled rabbit, grabbed a pillow and hugged it to her chest, looking at him with teary eyes.
"It's about training soldiers." Han Feng sat down in the chair in front of the dressing table, trying to sound serious. "I've learned a new method of energy transfer and plan to teach it to the soldiers at the base, but it's only in the theoretical stage right now. You are, after all, a member of the Liu family, and your physique might be a bit special. I want you to try it first; maybe... it can give you special abilities too."
Liu Mengran blinked, her grip on the pillow loosening slightly: "Like you and your brother?"
"Similar, but different." Han Feng carefully chose his words. "This requires you to completely trust me, to let my energy build a framework within you. The process may be risky, if—"
"I'm willing." Liu Mengran interrupted him, putting down her pillow and kneeling on the edge of the bed to meet Han Feng's gaze. "What do you need me to do?"
Her decisiveness surprised Han Feng: "Aren't you going to ask about the specific risks?"
Liu Mengran reached out and touched his cheek, her fingertips slightly cool: "My life has long been yours." A simple sentence, yet it made Han Feng's chest burn.
"Go lie down on the bed," Han Feng said, his voice slightly hoarse. "Try to relax."
Liu Mengran lay down obediently, her nightgown spreading out on the sheets like a blooming flower. Han Feng took a deep breath, his fingertips shimmering with a faint starlight.
"What is this? It's so beautiful." Liu Mengran asked unconsciously, looking at the starlight surging from Han Feng's fingertips.
“This is my primordial power, called the power of the stars. Next, I will guide it to build a star map orbit within your body, so that you can do the same as me,” Han Feng explained.
Liu Mengran hummed in agreement and nodded emphatically.
"Let's start with the meridians in the hands." He gently grasped Liu Mengran's left hand, and the power of the stars flowed into her palm like a gentle stream.
"Mmm..." Liu Mengran hummed softly, "It's warm and feels quite comfortable on my arm."
Han Feng focused intently on guiding the energy along the acupoints on her arm. Unlike practicing in the system space, the meridians of a living body are more complex and changeable, requiring him to constantly adjust the intensity and direction of the energy.
When the starlight touched a certain acupoint on Liu Mengran's elbow, Liu Mengran frowned slightly, as if she was in pain.
"Does it hurt?" Han Feng asked anxiously.
Liu Mengran shook her head, a strange light gleaming in her eyes: "It's very comfortable...like soaking in a hot spring, and you can hear the sound of flowers blooming."
At this moment, Zero's voice came: "Try not to make it too complicated. If you haven't fully unblocked all your own acupoints and meridians, don't expect to unblock them all for others. Just unblock the main acupoints and meridians."
Han Feng paused, thinking, "That's true. My energy is also limited. If I act rashly, I'm afraid that in the end my star power won't be enough to open up Liu Mengran's meridians."
As the star network was gradually constructed, faint star patterns began to appear all over Liu Mengran's body. These luminous patterns slowly emerged from within her body, forming magnificent nebula patterns on the surface of her skin.
Han Feng's forehead was beaded with sweat. The construction process went more smoothly than he had imagined; he hadn't expected Liu Mengran and his soul to be so compatible. But then he thought, given how far he and Liu Mengran had progressed, it would be strange if their compatibility wasn't high.
"The final step." Han Feng gently pressed his fingers against the center of her collarbone. "It might feel a little swollen here."
The power of the stars poured down like the Milky Way, flowing into the completed star orbit nodes. The entire network lit up instantly, Liu Mengran's body floated a few centimeters in the air, her long hair moved without wind, and countless tiny starlight vortexes appeared out of thin air in the room.
"Ah!" Liu Mengran suddenly arched her back, gripping the bedsheets tightly with both hands. The star pattern on her chest converged into a miniature galaxy design, slowly rotating and disappearing into her skin.
Han Feng quickly helped her up: "What's wrong?"
Liu Mengran gasped for breath, her eyes sparkling like stars: "It's nothing, I just felt really good and couldn't help it." She buried her face in the blanket after saying that, she was startled by the groan she had just made.
Han Feng seemed not to have heard her, smiling as he looked at her and said, "Alright, can you feel the power within your body now?"
Liu Mengran closed her eyes and sensed it. She felt as if there was a dragon-like energy flowing through her blood. Han Feng guided her, saying, "Try it now. Condense this power and see if there's any reaction."
Liu Mengran nodded and did as Han Feng said. She raised her hand, and a pea-sized starlight condensed at her fingertips! Although it was fleeting, it was indeed the rudimentary form of stellar power.
"It worked!" Han Feng exclaimed excitedly as he watched. It seemed the method really did work.
Liu Mengran covered her mouth when she saw the changes in herself. She never thought that she could have special abilities like Han Feng.
Next, Han Feng taught Liu Mengran how to guide this power and how to absorb the power of the stars. Liu Mengran was very intelligent and mastered it completely in less than half an hour.
Han Feng nodded with satisfaction and said to Liu Mengran, "Alright, it's getting late. Get some rest. I'll teach Wanwan a bit tomorrow so you all have the ability to protect yourselves. Once you've mastered it, I'll teach you how to materialize energy."
