Although my current state is better compared to yesterday's, I gulped down at this book's complexity.
"This golden orb writes in small font. This thousand-page book's equivalent should be…"
At least ten thousand pages in terms of real-life books. That's at least seven Strength of Material books!
One alone is enough to traumatize for my entire college life. What about seven of them?
I shook these thoughts.
It's not important.
I screwed myself by creating a complex cultivation technique outdoors. I am too eager, I admit. I can't even beat up ordinary goons yet. I can only run away, or in my current situation, let Kiana beat them up.
It is my third day in this world. Knowing its true nature, I wanted more power to change things. What would a weak twelve-year-old do in the face of honkai beasts and Herrschers?
Hence, my eagerness to complete my plans. I have eight techniques piled up in the queue.
"Ha…"
Alright.
I shouldn't stain the coat with blood. I will go and lean over. Then, try to perform the [Toushen Manual]. If I can't, I hope this cultivation technique can help.
It's more than enough to resolve being knocked out.
Alright.
Alright.
Alright.
"I can do this."

"Huff…"
When Kiana ca back, she saw Shi Tian on the verge of losing consciousness. Her heart sank. It was the second ti this happened. It made her wonder whether he had so sort of chronic illness.
"Hey!"
"..very…"
She was surprised to hear these familiar words coming out of his mouth. Blood dripped out from its corner, but he did not care. What followed after the [Two-Phase Art] were a series of unfamiliar words.
Shi Tian tried to lean his head straight, only to fail.
It was then did Kiana place her left hand behind his head. She dropped the plastic bag on the small table. Her right hand was placed on his forehead.
"He's burning…"
Just then, a series of changes occurred.
First was the familiar transparent blue air. It began to circle around Shi Tian. Kiana was distracted by it. The mont she breathed so of it, a noticeable refreshing feeling ca to her entire body.
"Huh?"
Kiana was puzzled.
'Is he practicing now? When he's sick?'
She did not know what to do. Her left arm slowly moved, causing his head to fall behind. Noticeably, the blue air around them nearly disappeared.
"Oh!"
Once she returned his head to its straight position, the blue air continued to appear. Akin to a vacuum, it was attracted to Shi Tian himself.
So of them passed by Kiana, to which she felt that refreshing feeling again.
After ten minutes, it gradually weakened. There wasn't any more blood that ca out of Shi Tian's mouth. He was able to retain his position by himself. His palms faced upward; the sa as the top of his head.
A visible jolt later, his eyes widened as he returned back to reality. His breaths ford a white fog. He saw Kiana holding his head. Her face was near his. She sighed out of relief after seeing his well-being.
"Sorry for making you worry."
He could not face her eyes for long. He focused his eyes on the table, intentionally looking down.
Upon seeing this, all the words Kiana wanted to say were swallowed back. She does not know how to react to it.
She's only fourteen. Although her maturity was okay, she ultimately isolated herself from others. It was evident inside the ga. All of her years wandering around yet she made zero friends. Only when she arrived at Chiba Academy did she slowly befriend i.
Shi Tian saw it all and felt even more guilty. He was twenty-one when he graduated. He should have been more mature at this ti.
This silence carried on until he broke it.
"You should have felt it. Those transparent blue air… that's spiritual qi. Breathing on it alone is beneficial to the body. That's also the missing part of the technique I taught you."
"You an, I can run faster with that?"
"Yeah. You can kick that basketball ring down with one try. If you run around before kicking, it won't just be the iron pillar you'll destroy. The impact should create a few craters on the ground."
Shi Tian explained the benefits of cultivation (in simple terms). It was an exaggerated practice that granted humans monstrous strength and power.
Qi-Refining Stage? It can blow up buildings.
Foundation Establishnt? Cities.
Purple Mansion? Continents.
At least, that's how it was described in the [Xiutian Yin-Yang Jue Art] (lit. Unparalleled Heavenly Immortal Yin-Yang Art).
As for shattering planets and the likes, it belongs to the realm of Golden Core.
Shi Tian knew all the realms under the Great Dao. Their specific capabilities were subtly hinted at in the cultivation technique he brought out.
His hopes were placed on cultivation.
At least…
'Helping her along the way is possible.'
It was a death wish to co with Kiana. Most, if not all major events, were centered around her. Lacking strength while being with her is tantamount to seeking death.
"Sorry again…"
She fell silent.
It was similar to catching a younger sibling doing sothing bad. It felt strange to her.
His company made her experience new things—things she ignored in the past.
'He is like a younger brother…'

Cultivation checklist: one out of eight.
"Fu…"
I am sitting on the sofa. I left the entire bed to Kiana.
Taking it is extrely embarrassing. I am already relying on her for food and accomodation. Heck, even clothes. I can't ask her for more.
"Only the top of the head and my palms… They need to consistently face upwards."
The [Xiutian Jue] (shortened na) I practiced is very complex. It is the equivalent of Linear Systems in Algebra. You know, Mclaurin Series, Taylor Series, Gaussian-Jordan thod…
It's way beyond the likes of high school math.
Thankfully, I fully rembered it in my head. It will only take a few tis practicing in real life. I didn't have to worry about guiding spiritual qi in more than 1,500 unfamiliar ridians.
It basically consists of spiritual qi guidance, reciting opening formulae, maintaining a strict posture, and a set of eighty-one different breathing patterns.
Overall, an entire session lasts for an hour. I can sit however I want, which is a plus.
The only thing bothering was the insane difficulty of my techniques.
It's as if…
"It's ant to be the Daluo equivalent."
The Primordial Era.
In s, it ant overpowered but difficult to practice techniques.
The ones I have gave off that feeling. There's a need to simplify them when it cos to teaching others.
"It's ti consuming. How am I supposed to practice like this for six years..?"
This is based on my feelings.
I am currently on the first realm, Qi Refining. To complete that entire stage, I might have to spend a year or two. For the Foundation Establishnt, three years. The ones beyond that, I don't know.
Simply put, I can't achieve the level I want within these six years.
That's why I am stuck thinking:
How can I speed up my progress?
I have three techniques to practice, one for Body, Mind, and Qi each. Then there's the sword technique and the spells. Finally, the alchemy and talisman side jobs.
Speeding it up…
"Oh!"
I patted my thigh.
"Auxiliary technique!"
If I can create any technique I want, it won't be much to create one that lets practice three techniques at the sa ti…
No?
