As a student about to undergo the martial arts examination, Han Tao's daily routine was extrely tight.
He got up to run and train his breathing before dawn.
Then he would go to the park to practice boxing and refine inner Qi.
Next, he attended classes at the academy to hone his martial techniques, body technique, and combat skills.
His life was filled to a certain degree.
Recently, he noticed an odd couple moving into his neighborhood.
The man looked barely in his early twenties, and the woman even younger, looking almost underage.
Every day before dawn, they fished at Shuangyu Lake, not returning even after nightfall.
Their diligent deanor made him feel ashad of himself.
However, after more than a month, it seed they'd never caught any fish.
Every day he passed by and looked into their fish basket, it was always empty.
Sotis he could hear them chatting with other anglers.
The two seed economically free and were fishing here to retire.
He envied this very much.
Currently, he was still distressed about the martial arts examination!
He wanted to get into the prestigious Ziwei Martial Academy; he had already achieved excellence in body technique and combat, but his inner Qi was lacking.
To enter the Ziwei Martial Academy, one needed Fifth Rank Inner Qi to et the admission requirents.
Currently, he was only at the early stage of the fourth rank.
With less than half a year until the exam, he could only train desperately, hoping for a miracle.
Today, he finished his run and then went to the park to practice boxing.
The boxing technique he practiced was the "Basic Boxing Technique," revised multiple tis by the state, theoretically suitable for most people, with a refining efficiency of over sixty percent.
Perhaps out of curiosity, he chose to set up his practice spot near the couple.
He wanted to see if they could actually catch sothing.
Then he noticed that over half an hour passed, and the two hadn't moved at all.
No fish in half an hour?
Isn't Shuangyu Lake supposed to be easy to fish in?
Doesn't the governnt release so many fish here every year; could it be that they just don't know how to fish?
Han Tao rembered casually catching a few small fish with a random fishing rod.
"Getting distracted is not a good habit; your posture is off in several moves."
Suddenly, Han Tao heard the man speak up.
He was startled, only then realizing the man was speaking to him.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Han Tao nodded, refocused, and started practicing his boxing seriously.
"Your kicks can go twenty degrees higher, that punch lacked force, and since you're taller, you don't need to crouch so low..."
Lin Qianxuan casually gave him a few pointers, helping him optimize his Qi refining technique.
Hearing this, Han Tao tentatively practiced according to Lin Qianxuan's advice.
Almost imdiately, he could feel his Qi and Blood circulating more efficiently, with warm currents spreading throughout his body, indicating the formation of inner Qi.
Previously, to have such a clear sense of refining inner Qi, he would have to go through two complete sets of boxing. But now, following the man's guidance, he felt it after just a third.
In an instant, he thought a lot.
They, the ordinary students, practiced the standardized version of "Basic Boxing Technique," which had varying adaptability based on individual physique.
Therefore, they could only gradually adjust as they practiced, making it more suitable for themselves.
So wealthy individuals could directly hire supercomputers to customize their cultivation techniques, achieving an efficiency of over ninety-five percent in refining inner Qi.
But the cost of using supercomputers often started in the millions, which he certainly couldn't afford.
A simple pointer with the effectiveness of a supercomputer, could he be a hidden master?
Right, soone so young, retired, and financially free to fish, it couldn't be that simple.
His mind imdiately beca active.
"I'm Han Tao, thank you for your guidance, may I know your na?" Han Tao asked.
"Fisherman." Lin Qianxuan glanced at him and said.
Without getting a specific na, Han Tao didn't probe further.
After so thought, he just turned and left.
A while later, he returned with a large fish.
"Sir, the fish in the lake aren't easy to catch; everyone's been coming here daily and learned all the tricks. If you want fish, I can cook for you; I can make all sorts of fish!" Han Tao said.
Shuangyu Lake's fish were much easier to catch than those elsewhere, but to ride on Lin Qianxuan's coattails, he couldn't suggest Lin Qianxuan had poor fishing skills. As for cooking?
If Lin Qianxuan wanted to eat fish, he'd enroll in a cooking class and specially learn how to cook fish.
"I don't have the ti to hook fish." Lin Qianxuan said, looking at Han Tao with a shake of his head.
"I know, I know, you're just enjoying the experience; you release them back into the lake anyway. But to be honest, lake fish aren't as tasty as these. I'm simply grateful for your guidance, I'll just leave the fish here." Han Tao said while nodding.
Seeing no objection from Lin Qianxuan, Han Tao placed the lively fish into Lin Qianxuan's fish basket.
Lin Qianxuan, speechlessly waved his hand, saying, "Get lost."
"Alright!"
Han Tao laughed and left.
For today, forming a good connection was enough. Anyway, Lin Qianxuan was still there, so he had ti to observe him in the future.
Then Han Tao continued practicing boxing not far away, following Lin Qianxuan's pointers.
Ling'Er glanced at Lin Qianxuan, seeming affected by his changing mood.
"Want to eat fish?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"Okay." Ling'Er nodded.
Rarely, she gave a sowhat positive response to Lin Qianxuan's inquiry.
If it were before, she would definitely have said that she can survive without eating.
Lin Qianxuan imdiately took out the accompanying barbecue tools from the nearby toolbox, processed the fish on the spot, and then put it on the grill.
Many fishern here do this, catching the fish and then eating it imdiately.
It was Lin Qianxuan's first ti doing this.
Before long, a grilled fish was ready by Lin Qianxuan.
He didn't deliberately pick out the fish bones, instead, he divided it and handed a piece to Ling'Er.
"Be careful, it's hot, and there are bones, don't eat too fast." Lin Qianxuan said.
The temperature couldn't hurt her, nor could the bones, but Lin Qianxuan still said this.
Ling'Er nodded, took it, and began eating in small bites.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
Ling'Er stared at Lin Qianxuan's eyes, seemingly in thought. After a while, she said, "Delicious."
As the words fell, the Misty Qi surrounding her deepened its connection with Lin Qianxuan.
This Misty Qi transford into a Sound Talisman nad [Human Dao].
Lin Qianxuan didn't have ti to think more, he was already drawn into that mory.
-----------------
On Earth, in a vast palace, countless top Transcendents gathered here.
The Dragon Head occupied the core position.
Everyone was performing their duties. Mysterious patterns ford, converging into an arcane yellow sphere above.
The Dragon Head was compiling and sorting them.
He embedded countless concepts of the Human Dao into its most basic logic.
Human civilization, morality, and perseverance...
Finally, it was born.
At a certain mont, it emitted a spiritual wave.
In an instant, it realized its own existence, in another instant, it comprehended its origin, and in yet another mont, it understood its mission of existence.
To safeguard human civilization.
-----------------
Lin Qianxuan withdrew from this vision, understanding the process of the Human Dao's birth.
She was created by the Dragon Head and countless Transcendents, and also a crystallization of the wisdom of human civilization.
With a thought, Lin Qianxuan learned the information of the first Sound Talisman.
[Human Dao: You have witnessed the birth of a civilization miracle. (The probability of fish finding the bait increases by 50% when you are fishing.)]
This blessing effect is quite good, making it easier to catch big fish in the future.
More importantly, he was on the right track.
Allowing Ling'Er to experience the world more would quicken her emotional enrichnt.
"As long as it's delicious. Take the rest and eat. I'll make more for you later." Lin Qianxuan handed the remaining fish to Ling'Er.
"You eat too." Ling'Er said to Lin Qianxuan.
"Okay, I'll eat too." Lin Qianxuan smiled.
While eating fish and fishing, before long, Lin Qianxuan's fishing rod suddenly gave a strong pull.
This ti it was a big one, at least one-fifth his current size!
Lin Qianxuan dared not slack, holding the rod tightly, he began to wrestle with the fish using strength.
After an hour, he exhausted the fish's strength and pulled it up.
The mont he grasped the fish, his cultivation instantly increased by one-fifth.
This month, he had caught big fish about thirteen tis, but compared to when he first arrived in this world, his cultivation had increased sixfold.
His sheer spatial capacity had expanded six tis over.
This cultivation speed could be described as very exaggerated.
Considering his already high cultivation level, maintaining such growth was like using a cheat.
Ling'Er was even more remarkable; her cultivation could now be compared to Lin Qianxuan.
Without this Sound Talisman blessing, Lin Qianxuan thought she might soon surpass him.
But for now, they were on the sa starting line again.
It's also worth ntioning that Lin Qianxuan recalculated the speed of charging the World Shuttle.
At this growth rate, the ti to fully charge the World Shuttle would be greatly shortened.
It might take less than a year to complete the next charge.
To flee to a further world.
No matter how powerful those Supres are, they couldn't control all the Chaotic Void.
Otherwise, after being exiled by the Dragon Head, they wouldn't have gotten lost and failed to find Earth again for so long.
On the next day, Han Tao ca again.
Lin Qianxuan didn't instruct him, but Han Tao brought another fish and asked if Lin Qianxuan had a preference for any other kind of fish.
However, he didn't get an answer from Lin Qianxuan.
As the weather slightly cooled, Lin Qianxuan cooked a pot of fish soup, which tasted very fresh.
The two of them held bowls, watching the hooks in the lake, appearing relaxed and at ease, in stark contrast to Han Tao laboriously practicing boxing nearby.
