Chapter 18: Chapter 6 The Ambitious Ones_3
Every day, he cultivated the Star Power three times, and including the rest period, each session took five hours.
In the last two hours of each rest period, he trained with the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand three times a day, totaling six hours of Ability practice.
He tried to schedule eating and using the bathroom during the rest periods as well.
No sooner said than done.
The next morning at 6:30, Ji Xinghuo got out of bed and started his day's cultivation promptly at 7:00 according to his plan.
By noon, he had completed the first training cycle of the day.
By five in the afternoon, he had finished the second.
He took an hour to eat and rest.
He continued at six in the evening and completed the entire day's cultivation plan by eleven at night.
Then he lay on the bed to relax, watched the news for a while, browsed the internet for a few rounds, and fell asleep right at midnight.
Ji Xinghuo immersed himself in the monotonous training, tirelessly and without leaving the house, as if he had forgotten the passage of time.
Three days later.
[Ability: Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand (3/47)]
The progress of the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand had increased by one point.
Ji Xinghuo was very pleased about this.
Because this improvement took just over nineteen hours of training, it indicated that the leveling up of Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand didn't increase the difficulty. Instead, as he became more proficient, it took even less time.
One week later.
[Ability: Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand (4/47)]
[Star Power: 54]
"Finally..."
Ji Xinghuo let out a sigh of relief.
For seven whole days, after more than twenty times of depleting his Star Power and exhausting every bit of his strength, the physical fatigue began to impact his mental state, his mind becoming somewhat numb. Finally, his Star Power had increased slightly.
Star Power increased from 53 to 54, which actually wasn't much of a change.
If it weren't for the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface displaying the information, it would have been hard to notice the enhancement in Star Power.
Ji Xinghuo calculated that if he could increase his Star Power by one point per week, by cultivating for a whole year, his Star Power could approximately double.
"I wonder what the upper limit of Star Power for a Primary Level Mutant is?"
"How much Star Power will I need for the next evolution?"
Ji Xinghuo didn't have many clues.
He sat down in front of his desk, and a beam of light projected from the desk formed a clear display screen in front of him, which then turned on a search engine.
Earth had entered the Star Realm era nearly two centuries ago.
The internet was filled with materials on Mutants cultivating Star Power, including various teachings, analyses, Ability research, exploration of Professional Templates, videos, and papers. The vastness of the data was as immense as the ocean and was growing by an immense amount each day.
Ji Xinghuo only searched for content related to Primary Level Mutants.
Several hours later.
After reviewing many materials and videos, he had a rough idea.
Generally, the differences in strength among Primary Level Mutants were not large.
For example, two Primary Level Mutants with the same Professional Templates and Abilities, whether one had just been promoted or was on the verge of the next evolution, would not display a crushing difference in a fight, provided their combat experience and Martial Arts Realm were similar.
The latter's greatest advantage still lay in having more robust Star Power and greater endurance.
The difference in Star Power wouldn't exceed twice.
Considering differences in Professional Templates, some jobs boasted stronger Star Power, such as the Martial Artist, Flame Frenzy, and Halo Fighter, whose Star Power significantly surpassed that of other professions.
However, the Ranger did not fall into this category; the Ranger's Star Power was at an average level.
"Twice the Star Power!"
"Just one year of cultivation, and my Star Power could double, nearly ready for the next evolution to become an Intermediate Mutant!"
"This rate of promotion isn't much slower than any prodigy."
Ji Xinghuo's eyes brimmed with anticipation.
He suddenly remembered the recently famous Zhao Man Ying, the "Sword Immortal" who took just over a year to progress from Primary to Intermediate Level.
If you can do it, so can I!
Ji Xinghuo was full of confidence.
However, he didn't immediately return to his cultivation. Instead, he changed into clean clothes and stepped out of the house for the first time in a week.
