When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 467 - 353: Refining the Divine Soul! (Two Chapters Combined)_2

Professor Guo said, "You can keep it secret, just like a pioneer who can’t disclose their mission."

An Xiyu shook her head, "The alliance has all sorts of Awakeners, including those who excel at decryption. I don’t possess your strong defenses, nor do I have Professor Luo’s indestructible spiritual power, making it hard to resist them."

Professor Guo’s gaze wavered uncertainly; he had not considered the underlying reasons behind the whole matter until now, when he realized the severity of the situation.

After a long time, he sighed and asked, "Are you really willing to do this for him? Do you truly have no feelings for him... in that regard?"

An Xiyu withdrew her gaze, a strange light in her eyes—perhaps melancholy, perhaps loss. She didn’t know why she felt this way, since she and he were just classmates.

She was a teaching assistant; he was the class representative.

Their usual interactions were limited to discussing how to lead their classmates in dealing with beast tides.

Yet, when she made this decision, her heart felt empty.

"No."

She said softly, biting her lip.

Xiang Beifei returned to his cultivation spot and began refining his soul.

He needed to quickly enhance his cultivation level; only with strength could he protect those around him and do what he wanted to do.

"To refine the spiritual veins into the soul, you need to strip out the spiritual veins,"

Xiang Beifei recalled Professor Guo’s words.

According to Professor Guo, stripping out the spiritual veins and refining them into the soul wasn’t too complex a process, but it was very troublesome. Initially, Professor Guo achieved it with the help of the system, using a God-gathering Talisman and spending a hefty sum of system points, step by step with the system’s aid.

For high-level System Awakeners, Qi-Controlling and Meridian Opening stages are not difficult, but the step of refining the soul, everyone spends a long time on it!

Because refining the soul is very difficult!

This process is divided into two steps.

The first step is to separate the spiritual veins. The second step is to refine the spiritual veins into the soul.

Professor Guo, a highly gifted SR, took over a year to complete these two steps!

Elder Luo was relatively more adept; it took him eight months to complete these two steps.

The process is lengthy, and even with the system’s help, God Refining is not achieved overnight.

It means that his high school principal, S-level Li Nanxing, who obtained a God Refining Pill last July, might not have reached the God Refining stage yet; he might only be on the second step.

Once in the God Refining stage, cultivation improvements become much slower, and system missions more challenging; like Yuchi Shen and Ye Changfeng, who have had awakening systems for at least twenty years and are still only in the mid to late stages of God Refining.

"No wonder so many people get stuck in the late Meridian Opening stage."

Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but exclaim.

Refining the soul represents a qualitative change! It’s a completely different realm from the Meridian Opening stage.

These two steps determine their strength.

Both Professor Guo and Elder Luo refined their souls relying on their cultivation techniques. Elder Luo used his extreme spiritual power that could block UR detection to refine spiritual power, while Professor Guo used a powerful counter-technique.

Fortunately, Professor Guo explained this process in great detail, Xiang Beifei had also learned both men’s techniques, and even combined their techniques, which could exert more powerful effects.

"Learn by Analogy" allowed him to quickly find a method to refine his soul that suited him, but he did not rely on spiritual power and counter-technique, but "Learn by Analogy" to his own Chaos Yin-Yang Formula.

The Chaos Yin-Yang Formula is highly receptive to other system’s techniques, capable of simulating the status of spiritual power and counter-technique, then transforming into his own version; it does not reject any technique, thus Xiang Beifei could practice various system techniques.

Elder Luo and Professor Guo’s techniques were just what Xiang Beifei had blended together, so he began to cultivate following their ways of soul refining.

The first step is to separate the soul!

Chaotic Yin and Yang circulated throughout his body, the spiritual power contained within the spiritual veins was very abundant and flowed smoothly, soon he entered a very peculiar state.

To refine the soul, one must first perceive the spiritual veins throughout the body and strip the perception of the spiritual veins alone, maintaining a very clear state in mind.

The process was very cumbersome because a person’s spiritual veins, said to stretch for 108,000 miles, was not an exaggeration; intertwined closely with the blood vessels, they formed the shape of the human body, and his task was to fully display this state.

When he circulated spiritual power in his spiritual veins, his mind clearly perceived the full view of his spiritual veins. Next, he needed to slowly strip away the perception of the spiritual veins, allowing the spiritual veins to exist independently of the body, as if drawing silk from a cocoon.

This was a meticulous task.

According to Professor Guo, the first step took him a full two months.

Xiang Beifei was prepared for a prolonged battle; he figured it would also take him a long time, at least ten to fifteen days. Thus, he seriously circulated the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula, drawing the silk from the cocoon following Professor Guo’s guidance.

The Chaos Yin-Yang Formula slowly circulated through all the meridians in his body, and then—

Hum!

An odd fluctuation spread throughout Xiang Beifei’s entire body.

"Huh? What happened to the prolonged battle?"

Xiang Beifei was stunned.

In his mind, he distinctly felt his body’s meridians peeling off smoothly under the flow of the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula.

Very smooth.

It was as if—with just a slurp—they separated on their own!

This made Xiang Beifei become solemn!

Too smooth!

It certainly didn’t seem like something that would take two months to achieve.

He had only used half an hour!

Could Professor Guo have been mistaken?

"No, I must confirm this."

The matter of refining his soul was something he was exploring on his own. Everyone else was slow, but his progress was alarmingly fast, which made him nervous.

Professor Guo had mentioned that if there was the slightest carelessness during the separation of the meridians, failing to separate them properly could damage the meridians. That would be equivalent to cultivation regression, requiring the re-opening of the damaged meridians!

He couldn’t be careless!

He carefully examined the separated meridians. They floated outside the blood vessels, and it seemed as if his body and bones no longer existed, leaving only a skeleton composed of pale white meridians.

His ultimate goal was to transform these pathways into a soul, which meant providing these meridians with a bodily framework. If one had to describe it, it would be like coating the meridians with a layer of flesh conjured by Spiritual Power to form the soul.

This framework is usually built using one’s own cultivation technique. Elder Luo used spiritual power to condense it, while Professor Guo used his Contrary Technique.

Similarly, he needed to use his own Chaos Yin-Yang Formula.

Xiang Beifei carefully compared notes with his notebook. Professor Guo was very responsible; to help him, he had meticulously recorded every point, every step clearly, almost as if he had personally helped Xiang Beifei separate them himself.

About ten minutes later, Xiang Beifei had finished checking all the meridians in his body.

"There’s nothing wrong!"

Xiang Beifei compared the key points in the notebook and again checked his own state of the meridians.

The meridians had separated from the bodily blood vessels and could change shape at any time, without any discrepancy!

"Perhaps Professor Guo was a bit too exaggerated. This isn’t that difficult."

Xiang Beifei didn’t think further. Having separated the meridians, he moved on to the next step—to refine the meridians into a soul!

The second step was the hardest!

Professor Guo took nine months on this step!

"This is the real endurance battle."

Xiang Beifei once again prepared himself, perhaps for the next few months he would be cultivating here.

But soon, he realized he might be mistaken again.

Because about a week after he ran the Chaotic Yin-Yang Qi Formula, a black aura started rising around those white meridians!

This seemed different from what Professor Guo had described.

Where did it go wrong?

He was practicing the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula, but now he couldn’t be sure what this technique actually implied. However, he quickly remembered Xiaohei, who was entirely white. The Chaos Yin-Yang Formula had come from Xiaohei, and Xiaohei could not only become white but also black. Could there be a connection?

He ran the formula again, and at that moment, the black aura, lingering outside the white meridians, began to condense automatically. That black aura swiftly formed into a faint figure, as if it had created a black skeleton supporting the white meridians!

This... seemed to be a soul?

"Huh, it seems... not too difficult."

Xiang Beifei stroked his chin.

These two steps had taken Professor Guo over a year, Elder Luo eight months, yet he had only taken a week?

Was that too fast?
