Chapter 8 – Twenty-fold Amplification Reward! Heaven-Defying Comprehension!

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for slaying an Emperor-Level Star Beast while surpassing levels. Reward amplified twentyfold: Obtained Heaven-Defying Comprehension and twenty years of cultivation!”

“Hiss!”

Hearing the system’s rewards, Qin Yang couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

Twenty years of cultivation was one thing—after all, he’d already received sixty years of cultivation last time. Qin Yang could still handle that mentally.

But this Heaven-Defying Comprehension? Just how heaven-defying was it?

Qin Yang was already itching to test it out.

The next moment, Qin Yang’s expression shifted slightly as a familiar sensation rapidly washed over him.

He felt a surge of pure energy flooding into his body.

Immediately focusing his mind and calming his breath, Qin Yang devoted his full attention to refining this power.

Driven by this energy, the bottleneck that had stalled Qin Yang at the Half-Step Innate stage actually began to gradually loosen.

“Am I about to break through…?”

Qin Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his brow furrowed tightly.

He absolutely could not break through inside the Library!

Breaking through to the Innate Realm would inevitably cause a huge commotion.

The second and third floors of the Library were guarded by powerful experts.

It was entirely possible that the mysterious Library Director, who possessed Innate Realm cultivation, was stationed on the third floor.

If Qin Yang chose to break through inside the Library, he would undoubtedly expose himself.

An Innate Realm expert in his teens!

Well, that would indeed make him a peerless genius.

Even an ultimate prodigy!

But the problem was, Qin Yang’s reputation as a trash talent was well-known throughout the Library.

If he suddenly revealed Innate Realm cultivation…

Alright, actually, exposure might not be a big deal.

It was said there were only three Innate Realm experts in all of Jianghai City.

If Qin Yang broke through to the Innate Realm, he would become the fourth person standing at Jianghai City’s peak.

Who could possibly do anything to him then?

Qin Yang simply preferred to keep a low profile.

While being a peerless genius came with unlimited glory, it would undoubtedly bring all sorts of troublesome matters along with it.

Qin Yang just wanted to peacefully stay in the Library and take it easy.

This was a fantasy world after all—the Innate Realm was just the beginning, with the Grandmaster Realm and even stronger existences above it.

Until he possessed invincible strength, Qin Yang had no intention of exposing himself.

He had no ambition to conquer the world—he just wanted to live well.

“Xia He, keep an eye on things for me. I’m going out to buy something.”

Forcibly suppressing the surging True Essence within him, Qin Yang called out to Xia He next door before quickly leaving the Library.

“What did you say? Huh? Why are you running off so fast?”

Xia He, who had been dozing off, was jolted awake looking completely confused.

…

“No one should find me here.”

A short while later, Qin Yang appeared in a small grove within a park.

It was just past noon, and the park was practically empty.

“Can’t hold it back anymore.”

With an expression as uncomfortable as someone constipated, Qin Yang finally stopped suppressing the energy within him.

The next moment, the stagnant energy burst forth like a breached dam, surging wildly.

“Whew!”

A look of relief spread across Qin Yang’s face.

As the True Essence in his dantian grew increasingly dense, Qin Yang gathered all his energy at once to assault the Innate bottleneck.

Thump!

Not long after, a dull sound emanated from within Qin Yang’s body.

A joyful expression appeared on Qin Yang’s face.

Innate Realm!

Success!

“Hahaha, I’m an Innate Expert now too!”

Qin Yang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Although his personality was quite laid-back and he preferred taking it easy.

The good fortune of breaking through to the Innate Realm still made him unable to contain his excitement.Feeling the wildly surging True Essence within his body, Qin Yang focused his mind, and a wisp of True Essence rushed into his fingertips before bursting out of his body.

Bang!

The True Essence struck a nearby tree trunk, instantly piercing straight through it and leaving a thumb-sized hole.

True Essence leaving the body!

Star Warriors who have reached the Innate Realm can release the True Essence within their bodies to achieve long-range attacks.

This is a capability that martial artists in the Acquired Realm cannot match.

Of course, breaking through to the Innate Realm doesn’t only bring this benefit.

Qin Yang suddenly closed his eyes, yet the scenery within a hundred-meter radius was clearly projected in his mind.

Perception!

Upon reaching the Innate Realm, one gains an incredibly formidable perception.

No movement within a hundred-meter radius could escape Qin Yang’s perception.

Moreover, when martial artists reach the Innate Realm, their lifespan also increases significantly.

Martial artists in the Innate Realm possess extremely rich vitality and can generally live to around 150 years old.

“Now I can be considered to have some ability to protect myself.”

Qin Yang’s face showed barely concealed joy.

Even if this world hides many powerful experts, the Innate Realm is definitely not weak.

“Right… I almost forgot there’s still a reward.”

Thinking of the “Heaven-Defying Comprehension” mentioned by the system, Qin Yang quickly calmed his mind and focused, allowing his consciousness to sink into his mind.

The next moment, he saw a hazy, gray space in his mind.

As his consciousness entered the space, Qin Yang immediately felt his mind become clear and tranquil.

When the contents of Breeze Swordplay flashed through Qin Yang’s mind, various insights surged into his thoughts.

Originally only at the beginner level, Breeze Swordplay’s proficiency rapidly increased as various Sword Dao insights emerged.

After a short while, Qin Yang’s Breeze Swordplay had already reached the minor mastery level.

But this was not the end.

Qin Yang immersed his mind in the gray space, continuously absorbing the Sword Dao insights emerging in his mind.

Driven by these Sword Dao insights, Breeze Swordplay, which had just reached minor mastery, advanced to the next level.

“Hum!”

As a gentle breeze passed by, a faint sword hum seemed to resonate around Qin Yang.

Faint Sword Qi surged from Qin Yang’s body, merging with the breeze, drifting unpredictably yet leaving a traceable path.

Suddenly.

Qin Yang abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing within them.

Breeze Swordplay, major mastery!

“Heaven-Defying Comprehension… it would be more fitting to call it the Enlightenment Space.”

Recalling the sensation he had just experienced, Qin Yang’s face showed astonishment.

When his consciousness sank into the Enlightenment Space, it felt as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.

Whatever he focused his mind on, countless insights would rapidly surge into his thoughts.

Breeze Swordplay, which had only been at the beginner level, had advanced directly to major mastery in less than half an hour.

Such efficiency was truly heaven-defying!

With this Enlightenment Space, no matter what martial arts he cultivated in the future, he would master and perfect them in a short time.

“The Library holds so many martial arts—now I have plenty to learn.”

Thinking of the martial arts in the Library, Qin Yang felt eager and excited.

With this Enlightenment Space, he would effortlessly become a master of martial arts, proficient in all kinds of techniques.

In the past, Qin Yang’s comprehension was limited, so he dared not learn too much, fearing that too many would be hard to digest.

But now, with the Enlightenment Space, Qin Yang naturally wanted to learn as much as possible.

Well, as the saying goes, one can never have too many skills.

Chinese literature is truly profound and vast!”Qin Yang, where did you go?”

When Qin Yang returned to Area 1, Xia He couldn’t help but ask.

Qin Yang replied casually: “Didn’t I tell you? I went to buy some things.”

Xia He looked at his empty hands and asked: “Then where are the things you bought?”

“Oh, I forgot.”

Xia He: “…”
