"AHHH!..."
"GOOD MORNING, MASTER!"
"Good morning, Lingfeng," Shen Hao said while waking up from his sleep.
"Shen Hao, get ready quickly! We need to start training! NOW!" Mo Han shouted at Shen Hao.
"Yeah, yeah..." Shen Hao mumbled.
Then Shen Hao suddenly realized something.
"Wait... what will I tell my parents about my leg? How will I explain how it all got fixed in just one day?!" Shen Hao said, worried.
"You don't need to!" Mo Han replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, just wrap the bandage around your leg again for 3 more months. This way, you won't have to explain anything, and you don't have to go to school. You can fully focus on your cultivation."
"Oh, nice. Good advice!"
"I'll go buy some bandages before I encounter any of my family."
This window was supposed to be there to see the view, absorb sunlight, and for ventilation. But nowadays, it's more like a secret escape door for me, Shen Hao thought to himself.
"Now then, you already know how to cultivate Qi. Start your cultivation now!"
"Wait—what?! At least let me wash my face!"
"NO! There's no time for that. You can do it later. Now start your cultivation!"
"Fine, fine..."
Shen Hao started cultivating on his bed, just a few seconds after waking up.
"You already know how to channel your Qi through your body. That means you know the basics for now. You just need to concentrate your Qi in your chest, and you will break through to Beginning Realm Level 1."
Shen Hao started doing exactly as Mo Han instructed him. After just a couple of minutes, it happened.
"Master! Master! I'm feeling something!"
"I think... I think I'm about to break through!"
"Good, good! Just don't lose focus! If you fail in this advancement, you could suffer fatal injuries!"
"GO MASTER!" Lingfeng cheered for Shen Hao.
"SHEEEEEEEEEE—"
"Shut up, you talking dagger! Let him focus!" Mo Han scolded Lingfeng.
"Okay, okay, I got it. Don't worry," Lingfeng replied.
And while they were talking, Shen Hao did it.
He had finally broken through to Level 1 of the Beginning Realm.
"I DID IT!"
"MASTER, I FINALLY DID IT!"
"Good, good—but don't get too happy yet. You've just started."
"The initial stages of cultivation are always quite easy, because it's more about understanding Qi than cultivating it."
"Now continue your cultivation," Mo Han instructed. Shen Hao immediately resumed his training.
He cultivated that entire day, and the day after that, and the day after that.
Eventually, two months had passed.
Now, Shen Hao had reached Level 5 of the Beginning Realm.
It was a normal day as usual. Shen Hao was cultivating in his room when suddenly Mo Han appeared in front of him and began to speak.
"Shen Hao!"
"You're a Beginning Realm Level 5 cultivator now."
"It took my previous student nine years to reach the 5th level, but it took you only two months."
"No way! Really?!"
"But why? Why is my progress so fast?!" Shen Hao asked, concerned.
"It's obvious. I've already told you—it's because you have stronger and more evolved genes, which took hundreds of thousands of years to reach this point. Of course, you are way faster than my previous student. And don't forget—you also have the Origin Consciousness."
Mo Han started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA!"
But then suddenly, Lingfeng barged in from the window into Shen Hao's room at full speed.
He crashed straight into one of the walls while screaming.
"MASTER!!!!!!!"
"LINGFENG! Are you alright?! What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?!" Shen Hao quickly stopped his cultivation and stood up in panic, concerned.
"MASTER! MASTER! MASTER! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW!" Lingfeng shouted in worry at both Shen Hao and Mo Han.
Then suddenly Mo Han spoke.
"Tell me, what happened!?"
"There's no time to explain—just come with me!" Lingfeng said.
Shen Hao and Mo Han looked at each other, then looked at Lingfeng.
And then, they quickly followed Lingfeng somewhere. It was obviously quite far away, but they followed him.
When they reached their destination...
What they saw was terrifying.
Or maybe even traumatizing for some people.
Very terrifying.
