Chapter 46: Confirmed x Meditation for Mind Refinement
“Alright, that’s enough for today!”
Biscuit clapped her hands, looking at Luo Lin, who had fallen for the tenth time, and said: “Although Nen recovers quickly, too much is harmful. Ten rounds of Ren practice is sufficient.”
“Get a good night’s rest. Tomorrow, there’s a whole day of training waiting for you!”
“Got… it…”
Luo Lin replied with difficulty.
After being drained ten times in a row, although he wasn’t completely exhausted, each time felt absolutely real.
Watching Luo Lin stumble back to the tent to sleep, Biscuit let out a small sigh of relief.
Ten rounds of Ren practice in one night, and his Ren duration had increased from one minute to two minutes. Although this was still absurdly fast for ordinary people,
for a genius, this was considered normal speed.
“At least he’s showing signs of being somewhat normal.” Biscuit couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.
“Wait… Have I said this a few times before?” A strange premonition suddenly arose in Biscuit’s heart.
…
Back in the tent, Luo Lin lay down on his bed but didn’t fall asleep immediately. After resting and recovering a bit of his stamina, he pulled out his phone and opened the calculator.
He compared the numbers displayed on the system after each round of Ren practice.
Luo Lin looked at the number 259.37 on the calculator and then glanced at the Nen ability section of his system panel, which read (25/259).
If he had any doubts after the earlier rounds, now, after ten rounds of Ren, the growth rate hadn’t changed at all. This confirmed it.
His Nen ability was growing at a rate of 1.1 times with each round of Ren.
“Ten rounds of Ren gives me a total of 259 points of Nen. Twenty rounds will be 672 points, and thirty rounds… 1744 points.”
“So… that’s enough?”
Luo Lin remembered that Biscuit had told him before to extend his Ren duration to half an hour within a week.
“So, I only need to complete thirty rounds of Ren?” Luo Lin mused, resting his chin in his hand.
Of course.
He didn’t think it would be an easy task.
Although it was just thirty rounds of Ren, as his Nen increased, the time required to maintain Ren would also increase.
“Still, a week should be enough.” Luo Lin thought, but what concerned him now was,
how long this growth rate would last. It was unlikely to continue indefinitely.
However…
“I should be able to keep it up for sixty or seventy rounds, right?” Luo Lin calculated to himself.
If he could manage sixty rounds, his total aura would reach 30,000, and his visible aura would be 3,000.
If he could push it to seventy rounds, his total aura would be 60,000, and his visible aura would be 6,000.
Even if each session of Ren took several hours later on, doing one session per day would still be feasible.
In one or two months at most, his Nen ability would reach a top-tier level, and that’s without accounting for any potential upgrades from leveling up.
“Looking at it this way, beating up Netero at the Hunter Association next year doesn’t seem that hard!” Luo Lin muttered to himself, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
After a whole day of exertion, Luo Lin was indeed tired. After some idle thoughts, he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
“Oh right, I remember that Ten is supposed to be maintained even while sleeping, right?” This thought flashed through Luo Lin’s mind just before he drifted off, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
After Luo Lin fell asleep, the Nen aura enveloping him wavered slightly but quickly stabilized.
Although it wasn’t as strong as when he was awake, there was no doubt that Luo Lin was still maintaining Ten in his sleep.
…
Early the next morning.
“Wake up, wake up! The sun’s already high in the sky!” Biscuit called out loudly.
Having secretly observed Luo Lin for a few days, Biscuit had basically figured out his daily routine.
Despite doing some pointless training, Biscuit had to admit that Luo Lin was very diligent in his physical training. However,
there was one big issue…
He had a serious problem with staying in bed in the morning.
According to Biscuit’s observations, Luo Lin would usually wake up around six o’clock, only to go back to sleep and not get up for real until after seven.
But now that she was around, she was determined to help him kick this bad habit.
Biscuit shouted as she walked over to Luo Lin’s tent.
Due to the warm weather, Luo Lin didn’t fully close the tent at night and left the door open.
As she approached the tent, Biscuit could see Luo Lin sleeping soundly on the bed.
“His alertness needs work too… huh?” Biscuit paused when she saw the Ten still active around Luo Lin’s body.
“Ah-ha—”
At that moment, Luo Lin woke up, stretching and yawning as he opened his eyes.
“Hm? Teacher Biscuit?”
Luo Lin blinked, only to suddenly snap fully awake.
“Sorry, Biscuit! Are we starting training now?” Luo Lin quickly jumped out of bed.
“Mm. Go wash up quickly and get ready for morning training.” Biscuit said calmly, turning to leave.
But inside, Biscuit didn’t know what to say. After just one day of learning Nen, Luo Lin had, without being taught, understood that Ten needed to be maintained at all times—even while sleeping.
And the most astonishing thing was…
He had done it!
What kind of absurd disciple is this?!
…
Watching Biscuit walk away, Luo Lin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Honestly, although he was usually slow to get up, he didn’t normally sleep so deeply that he had no awareness at all.
It was mainly because he’d been thrown around all afternoon yesterday and then completed ten rounds of Ren training in a row, leaving him both physically and mentally drained.
Moreover, for some reason, he had felt especially comfortable and secure while sleeping last night, as if he were sleeping at home rather than out in the wilderness.
After tidying up his bed, Luo Lin went outside to wash up.
Since there was a small stream nearby, washing up wasn’t much trouble. In less than five minutes, he was done and feeling refreshed, with none of his earlier sluggishness remaining.
When Luo Lin found Biscuit, she was sitting cross-legged on a large boulder near the stream, meditating.
Even as Luo Lin approached, she didn’t react at all.
Seeing Biscuit like this, Luo Lin stopped himself from calling out.
Before he had learned Nen, he wouldn’t have noticed anything, but now that his aura nodes were open, Luo Lin could clearly see the flow of Nen energy.
Biscuit appeared to be sitting still on the boulder, but the Nen aura surrounding her was flowing gently.
Though the flow wasn’t fast, it gave off a sense of fluidity and naturalness just by watching it.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Lin found a spot near Biscuit, sat down, and began meditating as well.
When Luo Lin sat down, Biscuit opened her eyes, glanced at him, and a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
Though Luo Lin’s talent was astonishing, even beyond belief,
Biscuit couldn’t predict how quickly he would improve, but she knew it would far exceed her expectations.
Because of this, Biscuit didn’t want Luo Lin to become someone who only focused on strength.
After all, Nen training was never just about intense practice!
