I Can Control Resources

Gao Neng was a diligent and studious young man. He understood the principle of sailing against the current—if you don’t advance, you fall behind. So, now that he possessed a Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, what was next?

Studying, of course!

’Yes, the kind of studying completely free of any... distracting thoughts!’

Gao Neng read with great relish.

’Dual cultivation!’

’The stuff of legends!’

Shen Ning’Er, meanwhile, occasionally provided explanations from beside him.

"This Dual Cultivation Secret Technique actually comes from an ancient sect. Simply put, dual cultivation is just two people cultivating in concert."

"Look at this position... The male partner actively channels energy from his body into the female partner’s. Then, look at the woman’s part... She can’t absorb all the energy directly; she needs to transform it..."

"Mhm, just like that!"

"..."

The two of them studied it together for half an hour.

Then, they moved close to one another and naturally began their hands-on practice.

Gao Neng could clearly tell that while Shen Ning’Er talked a big game, she was actually a complete novice when it came to the technical skill of dual cultivation.

Her movements were rather stiff.

Of course, Gao Neng wasn’t much better.

They were both feeling each other out, getting in sync.

However, both Gao Neng and Shen Ning’Er were top-tier geniuses of the Human Alliance with exceptional aptitude. As a result, this break-in period didn’t last long.

An hour later, they moved past the initial awkwardness and into a state of formal cultivation.

Strengthening the bones was a process of fusing energy with skeletal tissue. The advantage of dual cultivation was that it allowed them to combine their energy for the process.

As a result, their cultivation speed instantly doubled.

Gao Neng’s bones already had a solid foundation, having reached 8th-tier strength, which was slightly superior to Shen Ning’Er’s. On the other hand, Shen Ning’Er had reached Tier Six Late Stage, and the intensity of her energy surpassed Gao Neng’s.

They complemented each other perfectly.

A perfect match.

The moment they began to formally cultivate, Gao Neng felt the surge of powerful energy from within Shen Ning’Er. The sensation truly made him want to cry out.

Shen Ning’Er’s face was also flushed.

Her cheeks were like rosy peach blossoms in bloom.

From just one brief session, both of their cultivation speeds increased rapidly.

This made them both unwilling to stop.

For three whole hours.

Both were completely immersed in their cultivation, unable to pull themselves away.

Just then, Gao Neng felt himself approaching a critical point.

Yes!

He was about to break through!

This speed was nothing short of terrifying. After all, it hadn’t been long since Gao Neng had broken through to Tier Five Late Stage—a few days at most.

Yet now, under the surge of Shen Ning’Er’s powerful energy, he could feel himself on the verge of breaking through to Tier Six after a mere three hours.

"Ning’Er, I... I think I’m about to break through!" Gao Neng knew that his breakthrough would release a massive amount of energy. If he didn’t warn Shen Ning’Er, there could be an accident.

"Break through?" Shen Ning’Er opened her eyes. They held surprise, joy, and even a hint of satisfied accomplishment.

"Yes, I feel like I’m at the critical point. The magnetization of my entire skeleton is complete. With just a little more time, I can break through to Tier Six!"

"Okay, I’ll help you! From now on, I’ll increase the surge of energy. You focus everything on breaking through. Don’t worry about me!" Shen Ning’Er nodded.

"Mhm..." Gao Neng didn’t refuse.

His breakthrough was founded on his dual cultivation with Shen Ning’Er. Without her, it would have taken him at least another ten to fifteen days to reach Tier Six.

Now he had the chance to break through.

He certainly wasn’t going to pass it up.

Once he reached Tier Six.

He would have a better chance of competing once he entered the Underground City.

After all, he knew that the real scramble for resources was just beginning. With three hundred geniuses entering the Underground City, the ensuing conflict was easy to imagine.

Neither of them spoke again.

Gao Neng gritted his teeth, doing everything he could to release the energy from his magnetic cores. The two cores spun wildly as he pushed to increase his power output.

HUMMM!

HUMMM!

The room filled with waves of energy.

Shen Ning’Er matched his efforts completely.

The power of a Tier Six Late Stage expert was on full display. No matter how much energy Gao Neng released, no matter how powerful the surges were, she could withstand it all. More than that, she could even use her own energy to assist him.

Five minutes!

Ten minutes!

Half an hour!

The surges of energy grew increasingly intense, lifting the covers off the bed.

VWOOM!

Just then, a translucent long saber materialized above Gao Neng’s head. It was his Soul Saber, the very blade that had once slain a high-ranking Great Elf with One Slash.

And now, this saber had been unleashed.

A sharp glint from its edge raged throughout the room.

SLASH!

SLASH!

The bed covers were slashed to ribbons.

Slash marks appeared on the table.

A leg of the chair was severed.

Gao Neng’s eyes flew wide, and a roar escaped his lips.

"Break... damn it!"

BOOM!

In that instant, the energy was completely unleashed.

The bed in the room immediately collapsed.

As for Gao Neng, he entered a transcendent state, as if ascending to immortality. He felt every bone in his body begin to ring out, crackling and popping like a string of firecrackers.

Shen Ning’Er was likewise flushed, fine beads of sweat dotting her forehead.

This was because, in the instant Gao Neng broke through, she had also benefited immensely. That powerful energy had circulated continuously through both their bodies before finally gathering in one place.

This was especially true for her Spiritual Power.

Gao Neng’s Soul Saber had been unleashed.
