Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

On the way back to the dormitory.

Xiao Chenyu stopped halfway through his walk and said, "During the competition just now... thank you for going easy on me."

He's not someone who doesn't know right from wrong.

Qi Dao stopped short of making a move during the competition, and he always remembered that, but he was too embarrassed to thank him because there were so many people around.

Qi Dao casually replied, "No need for thanks. Just remember I'm the top student in the first year. Do whatever I say."

Xiao Chenyu's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, from now on you're my boss. But if I ever beat you, you'll have to give up your boss position to me."

"Your challenge is always welcome, but..."

Qi Dao gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist and smiled confidently, "I will keep winning!"

Xiao Chenyu was slightly taken aback when he saw Qi Dao's confident and unwavering gaze and nonchalant expression.

"This guy..."

"That's kind of cool!"

...

I pushed open the door and entered the dormitory.

In the dormitory, all eyes turned to look at them.

Those chatting on the bed or doing other things all stopped what they were doing at this moment.

"Boss!"

I don't know who started shouting it, but then...

"Boss!"

The entire dormitory was filled with deafening shouts.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory next door.

"What are those first-graders yelling about? It's so noisy!"

"It sounds like they're calling someone 'boss'!"

"School's only just started, and they've already chosen a leader?"

"Who is their boss?"

"I heard that the city lord's youngest son, Young Master Xiao Chenyu, is enrolling in school today."

"So, the leader of the first-year students is Young Master Xiao Chenyu?"

"It should be him. I heard that he has innate level three soul power and also has a wolf martial soul, which is a powerful attack martial soul."

On the other side, in the first-year dormitory.

Qi Dao established a rule.

No loud noises are allowed in the dormitory; if you want to play, go outside the dormitory.

No one else objected to the rule set by Qi Dao.

Although Qi Dao's sword strike when he challenged Xiao Chenyu did not cause Xiao Chenyu serious injury, it had a strong visual impact on the others.

In particular, the powerful aura that Qi Dao later displayed not only intimidated the first-year students at the time, but they still hold him in awe even now.

After Qi Dao set the rules, the dormitory became much quieter, and Qi Dao returned to his bed to cultivate with satisfaction.

The cultivation method in Douluo Continent is meditation, which is essentially a process of guiding soul power to circulate within the body, forming a cycle to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and strengthen oneself.

However, in ordinary Soul Master meditation, the routes and paths of Soul Power circulation are complex, resulting in a longer time for Soul Power to form a complete cycle, and thus lower efficiency.

Like two paths with the same starting point and ending point, but one is a straight line and the other is a winding curve, the one that takes longer to reach the end point is the one that takes the curve.

In contrast, the Xuan Tian Gong in the original work has a systematic route for the circulation of soul power, with soul power flowing along precise meridians, making its cultivation efficiency far superior to that of ordinary people.

Qi Dao possessed only a half-level innate soul power, making his cultivation speed incredibly slow. Even when he placed Wushuang in front of him during cultivation, which slightly increased his speed, the improvement was still limited.

After two and a half months, his soul power was still at level half.

Qi Dao estimated that at this rate, it would take him at least one or two months to break through to level one.

At this cultivation speed, becoming a god is simply a joke.

So now he has two paths to take.

One path is very conservative: to cultivate diligently and peacefully.

Qi Dao could clearly feel that he was different from others, especially in terms of his talent in swordsmanship.

For example, his father awakened the Iron Sword Martial Soul more than 20 years ago, but has not had any connection with his Iron Sword Martial Soul to this day.

Therefore, according to Qi Dao's judgment, as his connection with Wushuang deepens, even to the point of reaching the so-called state of oneness between man and sword,

At that time, the speed of cultivation will naturally increase.

However, he couldn't guarantee that he could become a god, since Ji Juechen in the original work also reached the point of becoming one with the sword, but still stopped at the title Douluo level.

If Qi Dao can't become a god after transmigrating to Douluo Continent, then his transmigration was in vain.

Of course, he also has a second option.

That is to improve the meditation method, making it the most suitable practice for oneself, and the cultivation speed will naturally increase.

The risks are high, but the profits are also high; as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold!

However, Qi Dao has not yet started trying it.

It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but he knew very well that his understanding was far from sufficient to improve his meditation methods.

Forcibly modifying meditation methods would most likely result in ruining oneself, just like Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill.

However, Qi Dao was not discouraged.

He has an advantage that ordinary soul masters do not have: others can only see inwards after absorbing their first soul ring, but he already has the ability to see inwards.

He guessed that this was a benefit he had gained from his two lifetimes, or perhaps a result of a sudden enlightenment on the day he awakened his martial spirit.

The advantage of introspection beforehand is that he can sense the trajectory of the soul power flowing within his body.

What Qi Dao needs to do is observe the trajectory of soul power flowing through the meridians, find the branches of soul power flow between different meridians, and then eliminate the unnecessary parts.

Unfortunately, internal vision is very mentally taxing. Qi Dao would often feel mentally exhausted after just a few minutes of internal vision, and he could only do it once a day.

In order to enhance his mental strength and allow himself to introspect for a longer period of time, Qi Dao devised a method based on novels he had read before.

That is, during meditation, try to construct the shape of "Peerless" in your mind and then visualize it.

In Qi Dao's view, the martial spirit is an extension of one's own spirit and soul, and the process of visualizing the martial spirit may well strengthen one's inner spirit.

It sounds very unreliable, abstract, idealistic, and completely unscientific!

But then Qi Dao thought to himself, "I'm in a fantasy world, why should I talk about science?"

It's always good to give it a try.

Qi Dao has been under construction for two months, and unexpectedly, it has actually achieved some success!

Initially, the Musou he created was extremely blurry, barely recognizable as a sword, and it was also unstable.

But as time went on, the peerless sword he had constructed in his mind became clearer and more stable.

To this day!

Unnoticed by anyone in the dormitory, Qi Dao's aura suddenly sharpened.

The peerless sword he had envisioned in his mind had taken complete shape, even the cracks on the sword were identical, and the sword emitted a faint glow.

Qi Dao only glanced at it, and a stinging sensation immediately welled up in his heart, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

But the stinging pain actually made him a little more awake, and his mental energy, which had been depleted by introspection, was like parched earth suddenly receiving a sip of water.

Visualization has these benefits?

Qi Dao became even more excited, enduring the stinging pain as if being pricked by needles, and continued to meditate on Wushuang, as if entering another state.

As he meditated, the speed at which his soul power circulated within his body miraculously increased.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already midnight!

A smile he could hardly hide appeared on his face. At this rate, he would be able to break through to level one in ten days to half a month at most.

This cultivation speed might not even be comparable to that of a genius soul master with innate full soul power.

However, it is still more than enough compared to a level 5 or 6 innate soul master.
