Meanwhile, Sean and the girls returned back to the city.
The former was sleeping the entire journey.
Yana invites her friend to watch the exam with them.
Tsu was trying to teach her pet beasts simple tricks while cooking a large feast for Sean.
Hina wants to go to the Evergreen Shop under the angry look of her three friends.
The day passed by, Sean only wakes up when the sun was finally down.
Stretching slightly, he checks inside Beast World and just like he expected, the vigorous heartbeat emitting from the egg Wuk transformed into is now growing heavier and stronger.
"Evening guys, can anyone tell me what is our dinner?" Walking downstairs, he asks while yawning.
With the advent of his family become Spiritual Tamers, a huge load was cast off from his back.
Suddenly, he smells a captivating scent and his stomach immediately rumbles.
Without hesitation, he hastens his step and he was greeted by a large array of food.
"Big brother, you're finally awake! The others are now waiting for you so that we can eat." Yana shouts, attracting everyone's attention.
Sean was very attracted to the feast before him, without hesitation, he takes a seat and before anyone can say anything, he immediately starts devouring the dishes presented in front of him.
Seeing him like this, the girls aren't surprised and joins him in the feast.
"Your family eats in a such a hearty way." Ganko chuckles.
Only Chika was eating like them, blending in with their family.
"I don't know what your type of martial arts are but the most important one for me is to EAT." Sean emphasizes causing everyone to pause.
"Interesting, care to tell me why's that so?" Asks the principal.
"In this world, you can't grow stronger without resources, we absorb spiritual energy, an activity similar to eating but before we can achieve that, we need to train our body." Sean explains putting his utensils down.
"To nurture your body, you need to eat, the more you eat, the more energy you can burn, that's why I always emphasizes to eat, my training is basically focuses in building one's foundation with muscle, generating a much stronger vital force compared to normal method."
Ganko asks. "So eating will increase the speed of our rank up?"
"Yes and no, yes, if you're being trained by me, no, if you're training a different method that focuses in other paths."
Ganko and the rest starts eating in a voracious manner, they clearly believe his words.
Sean turns to Chika and his expression is full of confusion.
"Your body clearly has immense potential, why did you ruin it and advances to the Vital Realm through medicines?" He asks.
Chika pauses, she looks at him strangely. "Before I met you, this was considered a common method for households that can sustain martial artists."
Sean was speechless, he forgets the fact that his training is considered strange in this world.
He sighs. "Join us when we're going to train but I warn you, considering your current physique, I'm going to wring you dry to dispose of the impurities in your body."
"Do all those that had big boobs has immense potential?" Asks the principal sourly.
Sean pauses and glares at her. "You should know the mutated bloodlines that I purged from their body causes their current appearance."
He then pauses and sighs. "But what you say isn't actually false, big boobs that eats a lot but doesn't get fat meant that all their excess fats actually transferred to their chests, you can actually say they serve as some sort of storage unit."
Everyone was speechless, they didn't expect him to say this.
The meal that was large enough for a hundred people were finished by them in just a matter of minutes.
"I'm going back to the Outside."
Everyone immediately says. "No!"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to the inner core, I'm just taking over Jasmine's job." He waves his hand dismissively.
"Now that you say it, I can't see the video regarding Jericho and the others." Yana states.
"Night is the only time Jasmine can cultivate normally, I don't want to take that away from her."
Standing up, he leaves the house under the gaze of his family.
They're prepared to bring him back if the video feed of Jericho and the others doesn't return.
At the Outside, Sean shifts through the trees with ease before arriving at Jasmine's cultivation spot.
Taking the camera, he left, not disturbing her.
Back home, the girls were happy to see Yana's camera is moving again but the shifting scenes made them a bit dizzy.
On the other hand, Jericho and his group are now sleeping peacefully.
The first person that was stationed to watch through the first shift is actually Emirose.
'As expected of that guy, he gave the early shift to Emirose.' As long as her shift ends, she can sleep throughout the entire night.
Hiding in the trees, the three were unaware he's there.
Sean senses something and sneers, leaving the three, he arrives in front of a large swarm of bats.
He doesn't want the camera to break so he decided to leave it at a tree.
Charm activate!
Jade Skin activate!
Impenetrable Fortress
The strongest amongst these bats are low tier silver ranks, there's about fourteen of them.
A doable number for him and clearly, the swarm used a lot of resources to raise these.
The girls watching the video doesn't know what's happening, they only saw a large swarm before the camera feed shifts to a tree branch.
The sound of screeching can be heard, so does blood spluttering.
After a while, the sound ceased, the camera then starts moving as Sean returns back to the sleeping trio.
The bats were no longer present in the are, the hundreds of them are now inside Beast World, their corpses serves as nutrient for the large patch of rabbit grass present inside.
The entire night, Sean keeps on moving, hunting any mystique creatures that are at least bronze rank and above.
This serve as a harm for the ecosystem but he doesn't care, in fact, controlling their numbers might at least decrease the chances of a mystique tide.
The next day, Jericho and his group finally decided to hunt a mid tier.
The successes they had increases their confidence and now that Emirose was cooperating with them, they're on the right track.
The entire exam lasts for three days, the stream is no longer that exciting but many still watched with relish.
As he expected, the first group to complete their task were Missel's group.
All three girls are considered geniuses, especially Kommi, she can be called as a prodigy amongst the geniuses.
Jericho's group might lost but all three of them are now stronger than ever.
His tier even increases, the one that improved the most was actually Golden, it's tier is now three, one tier higher than Jericho.
"The exam has ended, congratulations to Missel, Kommi and Dorothy, as promised I'll give something for you and it's my self created technique that increases your chances of reaching gold rank by at least fifty percent."
Back home, Sean's word reverberates throughout the entire field.
They know that there would be a reward for thr winner but they didn't expect this.
"It's called Basic Cultivation Technique, it's main purpose is to absorb spiritual energy into the body, to use this technique, I'll have to open a pathway from your body." He shares.
"Lucky for you three, I'm already quite proficient in opening the meridian points in a human body so there wouldn't be any danger."
Jericho suddenly raises his hand, causing Sean to stop.
"Is there another way to obtain this technique?" He asks.
This question attracted the attention of everyone other than his family.
"Sure, a hundred spirit stones, I'll teach you this technique and would also open your meridian points." He casually states.
Only to be dumbfounded in the next second.
"Here is a hundred spirit stones a reward from me and my sister, here is another hundred, teach me that technique." The principal casually gave him two hundred spirit stones.
"Sean, here's mine." Fabuki also gives him a hundred spirit stones.
Sean can't help but feel his mouth twitching, these two sisters are loaded.
"I'll teach you tomorrow, I need to give the reward to the three first." He then gestures for the three to approach.
It took just an hour to teach all three and open their meridian point, they instantly feels something entering their bodies.
"You can meditate anytime you want, this technique doesn't require motion but it needs your spiritual sense to cultivate, my advice, keep candies within you, especially chocolates."
The girls are more than happy to receive such divine technique.
"Brat, aren't a hundred spirit stones too cheap? From what I can see, this technique can even develop your spiritual sense, basically giving a normal gold ranker the opportunity to reach innate realm."
The principal suddenly release a shocking statement.
"Nope, after all, I can choose which people I can teach this technique to and reaching innate realm? That's too farfetched." Sean shakes his head and winks at him, only to be smacked in the head.
The teachers are looking at him with gleaming eyes, in this world, the most important is strength and the advancement of one's own rank.
The prospect of a technique giving you more chance to reach higher heights is something everyone cherishes and desires.
"You're quite a strange man but I don't know but I don't dislike that about you." The principal frowns and says this.
"Sean, what would happen if you don't unlock your meridian point when you try to learn this technique?" Asks Fabuki.
"The meridian points are transit pathway for the spiritual energy to flow inside your body without clashing with your vital force, training my technique without safely opening your meridian points wouldn't cause anything but this also means that you can't truly contain or absorb spiritual energy making my technique useless."
"You're already studying the meridian points at bronze rank, no, more like when you're at iron rank, such a high level knowledge should only be accessible to gold rankers and a small number of elite silver rankers, just how much had you suffered to create such technique? You really care for them, huh?" The principal sighs and looks Sean's family.
Cherry asks. "What's a meridian point exactly."
Sean also wants to know, all he has are theories and the ability of the system to pinpoint them without fail.
"Meridian points are important locations inside a living being with flesh and blood, unlocking them would awaken your hidden secret and unearthing your potential, only if you unlock the eight man meridian points would you be able to transition from Vital Realm to Innate Realm." She shared, shocking everyone inside the room.
Sean was speechless, doesn't this meant that he basically doesn't have any bottleneck as unlike his family, his meridian points are all unlocked without any risk because of the system's existence together with Beast World.
"But, unlocking them is extremely dangerous, even trying to unlock the flow is considered dangerous and that's the safest way."
Everyone turns to Sean with incredulous expressions.
"I guess I just got lucky, haha." He tried to brush it off, can't really tell everyone here about his goldfinger, can he?
"Don't you dare try to laugh it off!" The principal suddenly shouted, Fabuki agrees with her reaction.
"I was confused as to why you have immense vitality, why you are so unafraid of death, such tolerance for pain! A body seemed to hone, an absurd knowledge about a human body." Tears starts coming out of her eyes.
"It's because you had experienced death multiple times, how many times had you tried in order to get where you're now? It must be painful, no? Just how much, no the question should be, what wouldn't you sacrifice for your family?" She asks.
Fabuki clenches her fists, her sister is one of the person she knows that is the closest to Innate Realm and she had been studying meridian points all these years.
