As the notification appeared, Xiang Yu found himself engulfed in a state of pure enlightennt. His comprehension expanded and transford—not painfully, but as if divine insights were flowing effortlessly into his mind. The problems that had previously stumped him regarding the Fire Tempering Scripture now resolved themselves naturally, without requiring active thought. He surrendered to this current of knowledge, allowing the insights to cascade through his consciousness until the process finally completed.
He exhaled deeply to center himself. Though not overwhelming thanks to his high Mind level, the experience remained profoundly shocking. The sheer volu of insights and previously unconsidered perspectives was staggering. This revelation matched the mont his Enlightennt had first entered the High grade—truly like witnessing an entirely new world unveiling itself.
As the flood of insights subsided, Xiang Yu turned his attention to his other stats. First, he noted with surprise the hundred-point increase in his Body Refining. Contemplating this improvent, he concluded it likely resulted from when the competing bloodlines had ravaged his internal organs. His body, much like tal in blacksmithing, had apparently grown stronger through the cycle of damage and restoration—tearing and healing rather than heating and cooling.
An evil grin spread across his face. This discovery provided even more justification for his plan to deliberately stimulate conflict between the bloodlines. He suspected this sa process had contributed to the five-point improvent in his Transcendent Dao Physique, though discovering the ice and wind elents had certainly played a role as well.
The other stats hadn't increased significantly, with the notable exception of Fire Palm, which had gained an extra ten points. He attributed this to the phoenix bloodline subconsciously enhancing his fire elent affinity. His Appraiser profession had advanced to seventh grade, and after brief testing, he confird he could now extract more useful information—such as identifying specific talisman types, though certain limitations remained to be explored later.
Although his Talisman Maker profession had already reached eighth grade before the reset, the system's doubling effect had finally granted him the insights he'd missed by breaking through independently. He acquired several new formulas for ninth and eighth grade talismans, which he ntally cataloged for future reference.
His spirit cultivation progressed impressively. At this rate, he predicted a breakthrough to the sixth layer after the next reset. His pace was finally accelerating, though compared to his master's remarkable progress, he still had considerable ground to cover.
Regarding the bloodlines, this first doubling had produced subtle changes—perhaps just a slight growth in the essence drops. This matched his expectations. Today, he would thoroughly test both bloodlines. Since they seed so eager to battle, he was determined to discover their true capabilities.
Most impressive of all was his Abyssal Void Fla, which had finally crossed the halfway mark toward fifth grade. He wondered what changes this advancent might bring, though recalling its previous breakthrough, he tempered his expectations.
The fla clearly possessed extraordinary power, evidenced by how it had made mythical bloodlines cower in fear, yet Xiang Yu still didn't fully understand how to utilize it properly.
He'd questioned his martial aunt about the fla, receiving only the simplistic answer that "it was used to fight." Was he supposed to simply hurl it at opponents? Considering its ability to reach a thousand degrees almost instantly, it would certainly function as a devastating weapon. Yet he couldn't imagine immortals engaging in sothing as crude as throwing fireballs at each other.
Regardless, he would unravel its secrets eventually. A new idea suddenly struck him—with his newly elevated Enlightennt level, perhaps he could gain insights by directly analyzing the fla itself. He decided to attempt this later, after using his newly gained insights to complete the all-elent Tempering Scripture.
…
With the profound insights gained from his Enlightennt breakthrough, Xiang Yu made swift progress in templating the scripture. Within minutes, he had successfully produced individual Tempering Scriptures for each of the eight elents. Just as he prepared to rge them into the final technique, a bold idea struck him.
He retrieved the [Midnight Yang Restoration Scripture] from his spatial ring, turning the scroll over thoughtfully in his hands. Perhaps he could extract the yin and yang elents and incorporate them into his templated scripture, creating sothing far more powerful than he'd initially envisioned.
With this ambitious goal in mind, Xiang Yu unfurled the scroll and began studying its contents ticulously. He wasn't attempting to learn the technique itself—with his Superior Enlightennt, he could have mastered it even yesterday, as techniques only required ten percent experience to learn if they were one grade above his Enlightennt level. Instead, he sought to deconstruct its fundantal principles, to reverse-engineer the yang elent from its core components.
If successful, he could then theoretically derive the yin elent by applying opposite principles, as yin and yang were perfect contraries of one another. Though the concept seed straightforward, the execution proved exceedingly difficult. Without his multiple Enlightennt enhancents—from his phoenix bloodline, and his Transcendent Dao Physique—such an attempt would have been utterly futile.
Xiang Yu noted that it was ti for his usual mind cultivation, but he dismissed the concern. Missing a single day wouldn't significantly impact his progress, especially with his Mind advancent rely two resets away. The potential benefits of successfully integrating yin and yang elents far outweighed the cost of skipping one ditation session.
He persisted in his analysis, thodically examining every character, every energy pathway, every subtle nuance of the scripture. His concentration remained unwavering as minutes stretched into hours.
Nearly three hours into this intensive examination, his eyes growing weary from the strain, Xiang Yu continued pushing his ntal faculties to their absolute limits. The scripture's complexities seed to multiply with each layer of understanding he achieved.
Then suddenly, like a veil lifting from his perception, everything aligned perfectly. The scripture's true essence revealed itself to him in a mont of crystal clarity:
[Midnight Sun Yang thod]

Author's Corner:
I don't like that the FMC is so much stronger than the MC so that's why the previous chapters have just been focusing on his strength. Feel free to speak up if you feel like I'm moving too fast.
I've always loved fast paced breakthroughs, kind of the reason why I wrote this book. But I just realized that my mc is still in qi gathering in the second volu.
I apologize to the ancestors for disappointing them 🙏
