Chapter 2 Spiritual Advancement
The next day, the morning sunlight streamed through the window and shone on Jiang Chen's handsome face, making it sparkle.
His eyelashes fluttered slightly, he opened his eyes, and subconsciously touched his head.
However, instead of feeling pain or dizziness, I felt refreshed and clear-headed.
"Isn't this a loss of mental control?"
He muttered to himself.
During the moment he fainted last night, he thought it was because he had overused visualization techniques.
This situation has occurred before when I overdid it during cultivation.
But that's clearly not the case.
"Could it be that he has broken through?"
Suddenly, a bold idea popped into Jiang Chen's mind.
My mental level has been stuck at 0.99 for a long time, so it's actually quite possible.
He quickly sat cross-legged, sat upright, and began to introspect, following the guidance of the visualization method.
Soon, he felt his mental strength become unprecedentedly powerful.
"Um?"
At the same moment, he suddenly noticed that something resembling an electronic display screen had appeared in his mind.
The thing emitted a faint blue light and floated there quietly, exuding a strong sense of technology.
"Is this the system?"
Jiang Chen had this thought immediately, and he felt a little excited.
He focused his mind and looked at the "screen display".
Then, lines of text slowly appeared on the screen.
Name: Jiang Chen
[Body Level: 0.69 (Unranked)]
[Spiritual Level: 1.001 (Tier 1)]
[Technique: Basic Cultivation Method, Basic Visualization Method]
[Skill Level: Basic Swordsmanship (95%), Basic Movement Technique (86%)]
[Talent: Diligence can compensate for lack of talent (every time you practice diligently, your strength will increase!)]
"Holy crap, it really is a system."
Upon seeing those words, Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise, overjoyed.
Eighteen years.
Eighteen years in total.
Do you know how I've spent these past eighteen years?
Jiang Chen was extremely excited.
He originally thought that a life of mediocrity would be his life's label, but then things took a turn for the better.
At this moment, Jiang Chen wished he could jump out of bed, look up at the sky, and shout.
Who else!
Of course, this was just a little fantasy in his heart, an emotional release of his efforts over the past eighteen years.
Back in reality, he finally focused his attention on the panel.
The panel displays various data about myself.
"My mental strength has actually reached a higher level?"
Jiang Chen was shocked once again when he saw the information in the "Spiritual Level" column.
It seems that last night's collapse was indeed due to a breakthrough in mental level.
Then, incidentally, he also activated the system he had been waiting for for eighteen years.
Mental strength, level one.
It seems that he was the only student from the entire Jinling No. 3 High School who achieved this.
Mental level is much harder to improve than physical fitness. Generally, martial artists first advance their physical level and then cultivate their essence through physical cultivation.
Because compared to physical improvement, there are far fewer ways to improve one's spirit; it's not something that can be achieved simply through effort.
In this respect, Jiang Chen is more outstanding than the other students.
However, martial artists value physical fitness more. At lower levels, no matter how high one's mental level is, it's just a matter of one punch from the opponent.
This resulted in his grades at No. 3 Middle School consistently remaining at an average level.
Fortunately, he now has a system.
But what is the purpose of this system?
With a sense of doubt, Jiang Chen moved his gaze downwards, and then he noticed the last column: Talent.
[Diligence can make up for lack of talent]: Every time you practice diligently, you will increase your strength!
The brief text did not reveal any further information.
"system?"
Jiang Chen mentally called out, attempting to communicate with the other party and inquire about the function of this talent.
Then, the dark blue panel remained unresponsive.
"Okay, it seems it's not intelligent."
He muttered something to himself.
Since that's the case, then we'll just have to figure it out ourselves.
"Does diligent training really increase my strength?"
He recited this introduction, and then decided to try continuing with mental visualization.
He returned to reality, taking deep breaths to calm his excitement.
After adjusting his mindset, Jiang Chen began to relax his body and mind through meditation, aiming to achieve a state of inner peace.
As his distracting thoughts were cleared away, his concentration improved.
Immediately afterwards, he began to mobilize his mind according to the content of the visualization method, so that he could perceive the things around him more clearly.
He had repeated these movements for three years, so he was very skilled at them.
Under his perception, the desk, wooden chair, teacup, and other objects around him were all clearly presented in front of him.
The so-called visualization method is to visualize a certain thing and seek out the endless mysteries and energy contained within it, thereby enhancing one's spiritual power.
As he focused his mind, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a cool sensation in his brain.
It felt like a cool summer breeze gently brushing against my head, incredibly comfortable.
This is something that doesn't happen in regular cultivation.
Because the improvement of mental strength is very slow, like a trickle of water that grows stronger without you even realizing it.
Such a significant change was like someone suddenly opening a dam upstream, causing the spiritual energy that should have been a trickle to surge.
Your Spirit level has increased from 1.001 to 1.002.
The next second, a text prompt automatically appeared on the panel in Jiang Chen's mind.
"Your mental strength has increased?"
He was taken aback and quickly looked at the panel.
Name: Jiang Chen
[Body Level: 0.69 (Unranked)]
[Spiritual Level: 1.002 (Tier 1)]
[Technique: Basic Cultivation Method, Basic Visualization Method]
[Skill Level: Basic Swordsmanship (95%), Basic Movement Technique (86%)]
[Talent: Diligence can compensate for lack of talent (every time you practice diligently, your strength will increase!)]
"It really has improved!"
Jiang Chen was greatly alarmed.
Although it only increased by 0.001 levels, it hasn't been that long.
To know.
Normally, it would take at least ten days to half a month for my mental strength to increase by even 0.001 levels.
I just did my usual visualization and I improved?
At this moment, Jiang Chen seemed to understand the role of that talent.
His peaceful state of mind was stirred once again, and he was overjoyed.
This kind of visible improvement is so satisfying.
This is especially true for Jiang Chen, who spends all his time diligently cultivating.
It's like when you're struggling to earn 100 yuan a day, and suddenly one day you're earning 100 yuan an hour.
The joy brought by the contrast between before and after is indescribable.
The visible improvement brought about by visualization excited Jiang Chen greatly.
"If visualizing once can increase my level by 0.001, what if I visualize it a few more times?"
Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea, and he quickly adjusted his mindset and continued to meditate.
As the visualization continued, his breathing became calm, his mind returned to tranquility, and his spirit gradually underwent a transformation under intense concentration.
Soon, that familiar cool and comfortable feeling reappeared.
