Chapter 12: The Purpose of the Experience Bar
Chapter 12: The Purpose of the Experience Bar
"I..."
"Lin Sai..."
"Yes..."
"Name... Red Moon... Disciple..."
"My name is Lin Sai. This is the chapel of the Death Sect. I am the disciple of Lady Red Moon."
Initially, Lin Sai was merely imitating what he had seen, but after a few attempts, his writing ability began to improve at an astonishing rate!
The tip of the branch gently touched the ground, but his muscles and mind felt as if they had been arduously practicing all day.
Each character was written naturally, one by one.
Lin Sai glanced at his attribute panel.
After the 'Universal Script', his experience bar skyrocketed, filling up the yellow experience bar.
Then, the experience bar emptied.
After 'Universal Script', the word 'Beginner' appeared as a suffix.
Lin Sai felt a strange change had occurred within him.
"Whoa..."
He took a deep breath, picked up the branch again, and the tip of the branch and the ground made continuous rustling sounds.
This time, his writing was completely different from before.
Although it was slightly slower, he was no longer writing individual characters but a fluent sentence that appeared under his writing:
"My name is Lin Sai. This is the chapel of the Death Sect. I am the disciple of Lady Red Moon."
"..."
Lin Sai blinked and threw the branch away.
He quickly turned and ran into Red Moon's room, looking at the yellowed dossier on the table again.
"I voluntarily go to the hidden frontier land. The people there need guidance to find their final resting place!"
Lin Sai read the words on the dossier with difficulty.
But the situation was vastly different from before when he couldn't read at all!
"Does this mean I've learned it?"
Lin Sai pressed his excited chest and took a few deep breaths.
This unbelievable learning speed made him feel dizzy!
From awkward writing to slow reading, from complete unfamiliarity to stumbling through the text, it took him less than a minute!
And what was even more astonishing was that some of the words in the dossier he had just read were completely new to him.
Just as described on the attribute panel.
The 'Experience Bar' was not merely a simple accumulation of experience but a data transformation of experiences, training, and achievements, possessing limitless potential for improvement!
With such extraordinary skills, Lin Sai could even recognize completely unfamiliar characters if he practiced enough!
This was not just a simple 'skill' but a transcendental ability that transcended common sense!
Eagerly, Lin Sai went out and practiced some more.
This time, he kept an eye on the experience bar after 'Universal Script', and the result was as expected—as the level of 'Universal Script' increased, the growth rate of the experience bar significantly decreased.
But this wasn't bad news.
Even with the reduced speed, the growth of the experience bar could still be barely discerned.
As long as Lin Sai was willing to grind, he could level up 'Universal Script' today!
"With this, even if I'm not good enough, I can still become a linguist."
Lin Sai sat on the ground, grinning.
At the same time, Lady Red Moon, who had been away for a while, returned from the cemetery with slow steps.
In her hand was the bloodstone that had treated Lin Sai's cold, and its color was even redder than before.
Lin Sai pondered.
Treating the disease—the color faded.
Returning from the cemetery—the color turned red.
This change already explained the principle of the bloodstone.
Lady Red Moon noticed Lin Sai's gaze and explained as she walked towards the basement, "The power of the bloodstone comes from the concept of death. Someone was just buried, and I extracted this essence as part of my duty as a gravedigger."
Lin Sai nodded, "I understand."
A few minutes later, the bloodstone was locked back in the cellar.
Lady Red Moon returned to the ground level and saw Lin Sai writing several lines of text on the ground, nodding in satisfaction.
It was as if she were rewarding Lin Sai for her diligent practice.
Red Moon then shared a bit of trivia about the Death Sect:
"Our sect has a treasure called the Death Ring. Its creation process involves extracting nails from the coffins of fourteen kings, which contain the concept of the king's death, and then refining it with bloodstone to forge a ring with the ability to cure all diseases."
After the brief story, it was time to test Lin Sai.
Red Moon squatted down beside Lin Sai and wiped away the marks on the ground, then started writing:
"What does this character mean?"
"Me."
"And this one?"
"Lin Sai."
"The one below?"
"Red Moon."
"..."
"Have you learned them all?"
Lin Sai answered all the questions correctly, and with remarkable speed and accuracy!
Red Moon's eyes widened in surprise.
But she soon realized what was happening and regained her composure. She then asked a question:
"Lin Sai, is this your technique?"
Lin Sai didn't dare to hide the truth:
"Yes, I can transform my experiences, training, and achievements into enhancements for my abilities."
"That's an incredible power," Red Moon praised straightforwardly, then shook her head, "But with this, you won't be able to learn the techniques of the Death Sect."
Lin Sai asked curiously:
"Can an Awakened only learn one technique?"
Red Moon shook her head again:
"Techniques are like an entire river. The Awakened pours their essence into it, closely integrating and elevating it to become the splashes of water within the river. Now that you've jumped into this river and become one with it, unless you nullify all your power and wait ten years to try awakening again, it's impossible to change."
Hearing this, Lin Sai felt a bit flustered.
He had just joined the Death Sect, but now he couldn't learn their techniques. This seemed like a joke!
Red Moon noticed Lin Sai's anxiety and spoke to comfort him:
"Not everyone in the sect is an Awakened."
"As long as you're clear about your heart, any technique is fine."
"Lin Sai, you've awakened the Life Essence. Let's start with methods to cultivate it."
Red Moon changed the topic, and Lin Sai listened attentively.
Then, in a serious tone, Red Moon shared the method to cultivate Life Essence:
"Starting today, you should go to bed and wake up early, eat on time, avoid overeating and drinking, and ensure regular exercise."
Lin Sai continued to listen, but that was the end of Red Moon's instructions.
Red Moon had finished her explanation!
"..."
Lin Sai opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
He had expected some meditation or breathing techniques.
But to his surprise, Red Moon's method was so simple! Compared to cultivating Life Essence, it seemed more like a secret to longevity.
Lin Sai couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical:
"Is this... all I need to do?"
Red Moon nodded slightly, her gaze calm:
"Life Essence is the combination of Essence and your own life force."
"So initially, to cultivate this power, you need to take good care of your body and lead a healthy life."
"And don't underestimate its simplicity; it's a practice that values perseverance."
A simple and easily understandable training method.
However, this was completely different from Lin Sai's initial expectations, leaving him feeling a mix of laughter and tears.
At the same time, Red Moon stood up from the ground.
She looked at Lin Sai, who was still sitting on the ground, and suddenly asked:
"Lin Sai, what are your plans for the future?"
Lin Sai answered without hesitation:
"I want to return to my hometown and see how everything is doing."
Red Moon didn't express agreement or opposition to this goal, but her tone became solemn:
"It's a journey destined to be filled with challenges."
Lin Sai's eyes were determined, and his voice was resolute:
"Then I'll do my best to overcome these difficulties!"
