Super Game System-Otherworld King: Rise to Power

"Ronald! You're in charge of gathering intelligence on the Elves!"

"Wang Li, head to the plains and scout the Minotaurs and other tribes!"

"Wang Hong, you'll handle intelligence on our own people!"

The three men knelt, responding in unison, "Yes, Master!"

After assigning their tasks, Ronald returned to his room and took a Yuan-boosting pill, settling down to sketch the blueprints in his mind.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of heat rise from his dantian, a warm flow spreading through his limbs and body.

"Crack!"

It felt as though something inside him had shattered.

"Did I… just break through?"

As he sensed the changes within, Ronald felt his blood and qi surging, his strength expanding!

Thanks to his hard work and the nourishment from the Yuan-boosting pill, his transformation had finally been completed!

"Body Refining Realm, First Stage—achieved!"

He set his pen down and walked out of the room, taking a deep breath. Reaching the Body Refining Realm meant he was no longer the weak little king, but a general capable of leading charges into battle!

"Li Haotian, Wang Fuchen—wait for me!"

He pulled out the fragment of the "Azure Sky Mystical Way" manual he had obtained in the cave and hurried back to his room to begin cultivating.

This technique had a threshold—one couldn't practice it without reaching the Body Refining Realm. Ronald was no selfish man, and after obtaining the manual, he had shared it with Liu Long and the others. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, none of them could practice it. Every time they tried, they experienced intense headaches.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, he began following the breathing method described in the manual, bracing for the inevitable headache.

But after an hour of practice, he was stunned to realize that he felt no discomfort at all. Instead, his mind felt clear, and his body was completely refreshed.

"What's going on?"

He was puzzled. After a moment of hesitation, he asked in his mind, "System, can colonizers cultivate martial arts techniques?"

"Colonizers have fixed skills and cannot cultivate external techniques. To improve their power, they must earn system rewards or purchase exclusive techniques."

"Alright, how much does it cost?"

The system's emotionless voice responded.

"The cost for exclusive techniques ranges from 100,000 to 500,000 silver, depending on the technique."

Without hesitation, Ronald ended the conversation with the system.

He then flipped through the "Azure Sky Mystical Way" manual once more and discovered another problem. This technique wasn't just for the Body Refining Realm—it also contained methods for advancing to the Spirit Communication Realm!

"Didn't they say humans, as inferior races, can't breakthrough to the Spirit Communication Realm? But from the description, it seems like as long as one has talent and opportunity, it shouldn't be too difficult to break through?"

He couldn't quite make sense of it, but his instincts told him that there was a massive secret hidden within this manual.

Shaking his head, he knew now wasn't the time to dwell on this. If he could cultivate this technique, then he should focus on training.

Most of the cultivation techniques on the continent were based on grinding the muscles and bones, supplemented by food or medicinal pills. The "Azure Sky Mystical Way," however, involved drawing in the world's spiritual energy to nourish the body. With the right rare herbs and treasures, cultivation would be even faster.

It had to be said, Ronald did have a certain degree of talent. The manual noted that most people needed three days to sense the flow of spiritual energy, but Ronald felt the pulse of the world's energy after just half a day.

Now that they had the necessary supplies like blankets, Ronald saw no reason to have Fan Qingyue share his bed. Sleeping together all the time might lead to complications.

After some hesitation, he decided to sleep alone in his room, leaving Fan Qingyue in the room next door. He didn't want to lose focus.

Of course, in his heart, the female general was already his chosen queen. He was just waiting for the right moment to hold a grand wedding.

After cultivating through the night, he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he felt more energized and alert. He took a tour of the camp to ensure everything was running smoothly.

Seeing that everything was progressing well, he returned to his room and resumed his cultivation.
