You are a dual-ability user, and He Li is also a dual-ability user.
You are a dual B-class, and He Li is a dual A-class.
You teach He Li, nurture He Li, and after He Li becomes stronger than you, he will protect you in return. Is there anything wrong with that?
There is nothing wrong with that.
Isn't that how novels are written?
What do you mean by raising your own daddy? He Li is a great master in his infancy. If you don't nurture him well, how can he become a towering tree?
Besides,
When He Li becomes awesome in the future, when we from the Binjiang branch attend branch meetings, we will have the halo of a great master teammate, and our prestige will be different.
Bai Fei felt that his thinking was correct.
After the team-building activity dispersed, He Li slowly walked home. He could accept the current changes relatively well. After all, he had experienced transmigration, so why should he care about this?
Night fell, the sky was dark, with no moon or stars. The occasional twinkling points of light were more like demons overlooking the world blinking their eyes.
He Li took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it. He didn't continue walking but sat on a bench by the roadside.
Hoo...
He Li exhaled a puff of smoke and asked softly, "What exactly are启灵者 (Qi Ling Zhe)? Why didn't Susan tell the truth?"
Jin Fang appeared out of thin air to He Li's left, his long legs crossed, and his hands resting on his thighs. At this moment, even He Li had to admit that Jin Fang was very handsome, full of mysteriousness, a dangerous mysteriousness.
Jin Fang said, "We don't know what启灵者 (Qi Ling Zhe) are either, but judging from the extent to which they monitor you and Susan's state when she spoke,启灵者 (Qi Ling Zhe) are definitely not people with innate spiritual power as she described. They should be more dangerous and mysterious."
"It's not impossible that Susan lied, or perhaps, even she doesn't know what启灵者 (Qi Ling Zhe) are."
He Li nodded and said, "But so far, the only information we have about启灵者 (Qi Ling Zhe) is what Susan said. The rest can only be figured out by ourselves."
He Li looked at Jin Fang, wanting to speak but hesitating. After a moment of silence, he said apologetically, "You're not angry, are you?"
Jin Fang waved his hand and said generously, "It's not to the point of being angry. Chen Sui and I are worried about your safety. The number of demons appearing around you has been increasing recently. In this situation, if you actively fight demons again, something might happen."
He Li smiled and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, you guys are still here. Besides, the frequency of demons appearing is increasing. We can't keep hiding like this. I suspect it has something to do with启灵者 (Qi Ling Zhe), and it's not a solution to always be passive."
Jin Fang hummed softly and then disappeared.
He Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled. The cold-blooded killer was quite tsundere.
The next day.
On the 33rd floor of the Spirit Management Bureau building, the entire floor had been converted into a martial arts training ground.
He Li and Bai Fei sat cross-legged, and Bai Fei said, "When the activity of the body's cells reaches its peak, spiritual power is generated through metamorphosis. With each metamorphosis of cells, our bodies and spiritual power will be enhanced to a certain extent.
The method to strengthen cell activity and cause rapid metamorphosis is our method of cultivating spiritual power.
It's called 'Breathing Technique.'
He Li nodded. The name "Breathing Technique" was easy to understand.
Bai Fei continued, "The Breathing Technique lies in actively regulating the frequency of breathing, guiding the body's organs, muscles, blood, meridians, and cells to be in a state of high vitality at all times."
"The biggest difference between a Spirit Warrior and an ability user is the body and spirit."
"Spirit Warriors cultivate their bodies through the Breathing Technique, while ability users strengthen their mental power through gene locks."
"And we dual-ability users need to cultivate both spiritual power and temper our mental power. We need to put in several times more effort and time than ordinary Spirit Warriors and ability users."
"Okay, I understand," He Li replied solemnly.
"Mhm." Bai Fei was satisfied with He Li's serious attitude and continued, "You reached Level Three Spirit Warrior without mastering the Breathing Technique, which surprised me. But after knowing you have dual A-class talent, I understood. Perhaps for geniuses, normal logic doesn't apply."
He Li smiled a little embarrassedly. He didn't know how to respond to Bai Fei's words.
Bai Fei didn't continue to tease He Li.
"Next, you will follow my breathing frequency to master the Breathing Technique."
"Mhm."
"Hoo..."
"Hah..."
"Hoo..."
"Hah..."
The two grown men sat facing each other, their eyes closed, inhaling and exhaling simultaneously. The scene was almost too beautiful.
"How is it, have you mastered the Breathing Technique?" Bai Fei asked with a smile.
He Li nodded blankly. He felt a sense of unreality. The method of cultivating spiritual power that he had longed for was just breathing. Wasn't it just slow breathing? Every breath had to be full, feeling the fullness when inhaling and the emptiness when exhaling, feeling the changes within the body with each breath, and resonating with every part of the body.
Seeing He Li nod blankly, Bai Fei understood. The Breathing Technique was profound and difficult to grasp. Achieving bodily resonance was by no means achievable overnight. Even for himself now, it was only possible when he was fully immersed. Alas... take it slow.
He cultivated the Breathing Technique in the morning, and in the afternoon, He Li wanted Bai Fei to teach him some combat skills. Bai Fei said there was nothing to teach, that all techniques were fragile in the face of speed and strength.
If your moves are fast and fierce enough, and your strength is great enough, that's all you need. Techniques are used in relatively matched combat. The weak can defeat the strong with techniques, but this relatively matched relationship is limited to situations where all beings are in a normal state.
Spirit Warriors, ability users, and demons are clearly not in this category.
Demons won't wait for you to use techniques with them. Are you going to use a shoulder throw on a five-meter-tall demon? Or a sliding tackle?
He Li suddenly realized. So that's how it is. Novels and TV shows lied, damn it!
Bai Fei took He Li to the armory downstairs. An entire floor was filled with weapons, all sorts of firearms and melee weapons, everything imaginable.
He Li swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Fei, aren't you afraid of criminals coming to rob you?"
Bai Fei was stunned. He didn't react for a moment. Criminals coming to the Spirit Management Bureau building to rob weapons? He had never considered that possibility. Or rather, why would ordinary people come to a gathering place of superhumans to rob weapons?
This wasn't robbing weapons; it was delivering themselves to their deaths.
"Uh... I'm sorry, my reaction is a bit slow." He Li awkwardly scratched his head. Coming here to rob weapons was no different from robbing a military camp.
Bai Fei shook his head, thinking to himself: Why is this kid a bit reckless?
"Every time you go on a mission, you can choose weapons here. These weapons are specially made to conduct spiritual power and special abilities. They are very powerful. A Level Six demon can be dealt with by one shot."
"You can also choose melee weapons, such as swords, spears, sabers, and halberds. However, we of the manifestation system don't use these. Both of us manifest weapons."
