After talking for more than two hours straight, Gaspar felt a bit thirsty. He picked up the tea by his side and took a big gulp, then nodded and said, "I’ve talked long enough. You try it first."
Fang Heng tried to understand Gaspar’s description of the environment and the external spatial strength rules, then slowly closed his eyes.
He could try to comprehend it.
The so-called spatial rules were roughly the omnipresent spatial strength.
His heightened perception allowed him to sense the ripples of spatial strength around him.
The next step was to use the spatial strength while aligning as much as possible with the flow of that power.
Fang Heng opened his eyes again and, following Gaspar’s guidance, attempted to release his spatial strength ripples, matching the flow of the external spatial strength.
The idea was to go with the flow.
This was a domain he had never touched before. Without a master’s guidance, he wouldn’t have known how long it would take to gain insight by himself.
Gaspar noticed the spatial fluctuation Fang Heng released and was shocked inwardly.
This kid had incredible talent!
Gaspar even suspected that the clumsy act Fang Heng had shown earlier might have been an act.
Fang Heng closed his eyes tightly and meditated along with the flow of spatial strength.
Suddenly, a line of small words appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player accepted guidance, currently triggering special mission- Spatial Science Advancement (Grandmaster Level).]
Mission name: Spatial Science Advancement (Grandmaster Level).
Mission description: Complete the grandmaster-level spatial science advancement under the instructor’s guidance.
Current mission progress: 0%.
[Hint: The player gained new insight into the flow of spatial rules, mission completion rate increased...]
After a moment, Fang Heng opened his eyes again.
He glanced again at the game hint.
In just over ten minutes of perceiving the external spatial flow, his mission progress had already reached 2.21%.
The Black Fog Game was truly a great tool, like a special addon constantly monitoring one’s cultivation progress.
Gaspar looked at Fang Heng, suppressing his surprise, and thought he should investigate this kid’s background after this was over. He said, "Not bad. It seems you have gained insight. Your general direction is correct."
"I’m tired now. You should keep pondering and cultivating on your own. When you truly have a breakthrough or encounter problems, we can arrange another session."
"Thank you," Fang Heng replied and then stood up.
The breakthrough in cultivation was much easier than he had imagined.
The bottleneck was like a thin layer of window paper; once pierced through, the path ahead was clear.
Fang Heng was eager to find a quiet place to continue cultivating and finish the breakthrough quickly.
"Mr. Fang Heng, are you satisfied with your cultivation?"
"Not bad, I gained a lot," Fang Heng said as he left the cultivation room and looked at An Qian waiting by the door.
"Is there a quieter place? There are too many people here and it’s noisy. I like quiet."
"You have a private lounge and room in the Noel Clan headquarters building. We can also rent a villa for you."
"A villa? Does it have a basement?"
An Qian found Fang Heng’s request a bit strange but thought for a moment and nodded.
"There is one ready now, located in the main city district near the outskirts. However, it was previously rented by other warriors and hasn’t been fully cleaned yet. If you don’t mind, we can arrange it immediately. If you do, we’ll find a suitable villa as soon as possible."
"No trouble. Just this one. Take me there quickly."
"All right, I’ll arrange it right away."
Two hours later, Fang Heng arrived at the villa.
"Pretty good. You can go handle other things. Please book a one-on-one spatial science cultivation session for me tomorrow, preferably with today’s instructor."
An Qian respectfully handed over the room key card and left.
Back in the car, An Qian glanced at the villa and showed a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
As his personal assistant, she always asked about his cultivation progress after each session.
Based on Gaspar’s feedback, Fang Heng’s talent in spatial science was very high, already reaching a master-level standard, which was quite good.
But even so, advancing to the next stage would still take some time.
Book another session with the instructor?
Maybe to better adjust.
Since all learning funds were provided by the Noel Clan, resource waste among warriors was common.
Hence, assistants controlled such matters.
An Qian decided to schedule another session with the instructor the next day to monitor the situation.
Inside the villa, Fang Heng was unaware of An Qian’s little plans.
After wandering the first floor, he headed straight to the basement.
The basement alone covered over a hundred square meters.
Enough for a normal person.
But far from enough for Fang Heng.
He had many zombie clones.
He flipped his wrist, and several rune papers appeared in his hand.
As the rune papers exploded in midair, over ten Lickers leapt out, quickly condensing into flesh cocoons on the spot.
This step of cultivating by sensing external spatial strength could not be delegated to zombie clones, but it might help later on.
Better safe than sorry.
Also, after breaking through grandmaster-level spatial science, he would rely on Abe Akaya to convert natural energy into spatial energy to rapidly increase his spatial science level.
Fang Heng instructed his zombie clones to set up the summoning magic array of Abe Akaya in the basement, then sat cross-legged on the spot to continue cultivating spatial science.
Guiding spatial ability was not easy.
Fang Heng closed his eyes tightly, sensing changes in the flow of external spatial energy, adjusting the frequency of mental strength release and spatial strength ripples.
The next afternoon, spatial science instructor Gaspar saw Fang Heng easily condense a spatial sphere in his hand, his eyes showing extreme astonishment.
Yesterday, Fang Heng seemed like a complete beginner in academic ability.
It was completely different!
Such a terrifying cultivation speed was simply abnormal!
From a beginner level to this degree in just one day?
Gaspar even suspected Fang Heng’s act of ignorance yesterday had been deliberate.
"Instructor Gaspar, what do you think?"
Gaspar calmed himself and nodded.
"Very good. Reaching this stage means you have mastered sensing external spatial strength and harmonizing your own power with the outside world. You have effectively broken through the grandmaster-level spatial science rank, lacking only the professional qualification certification."
"As for further training in spatial science, I can’t interfere. Everyone has their own learning methods. But I can give you some general guidance."
"My instructor once told me that beyond grandmaster level, most academic paths involve gradually changing internal cycles to eventually sense and control external cycles."
"I’m still exploring myself. Your talent in spatial science is strong; we can discuss and study together in the future."
As he finished speaking, Fang Heng’s retina displayed a game hint.
[Hint: The player has completed mission-Spatial Science Advancement (Grandmaster Level). The player’s current master-level spatial science skill has been deleted. The player acquired grandmaster-level spatial science.]
