Global Awakening: I Got A SSS-level Library System

Chapter 10: Was It Just Studying After All?

The moment Wendy made that sound, she was instantly alarmed, her hands flying to cover her mouth. How could she let out such a noise? It was just too embarrassing.

In the midst of Wendy's flustered thoughts, Alex kept his focus, urging, "Stay focused, immerse yourself in this energy."

Prompted by Alex's reminder, Wendy quickly gathered her scattered thoughts, directing her full attention inward to the sensations within her body.

Alex, with his extensive mastery gleaned from the Divine Library, had anticipated Wendy's possible reactions to the energy infusion and wasn't taken aback by her response.

He was at this moment delicately merging his Divine Light energy with Wendy's, ensuring their energies intertwined smoothly. Once Wendy's Divine Light had adjusted to Alex's influence, he started to gently propel the Divine Light through Wendy's body.

Alex's Divine Light attribute, having escalated to an impressive 300 points, dwarfed Wendy's by a significant margin. His potent, yet exceptionally pure Divine Light, was unsurprisingly soothing and pure, leaving Wendy feeling refreshed every time it meandered through her pathways.

Although Wendy managed to align her focus with Alex's rhythm, her body's spontaneous reactions remained unchecked. Soon, a light sheen of sweat formed on her forehead, and a warm flush tinted her cheeks.

Time flowed silently, with Alex guiding the Divine Light through Wendy, repeating the process until he gradually withdrew his energy.

Exhaling deeply, Wendy felt a profound sense of relief wash over her. The exhaustion from continuous cultivation over the past couple of days seemed to vanish under Alex's guidance, leaving her feeling unexpectedly revitalized.

More so, Wendy sensed a transformation within herself. Gazing at Alex, who was smiling at her with a warmth that felt like the first day of spring, she couldn't help but express, "Mr. Watson, I feel somehow different now!"

Watching Wendy light up with realization, Alex asked gently, "In what way do you feel different?"

After pondering briefly, Wendy responded, "My body feels stronger, my core more resilient, my physique more robust, and my stamina seems to have increased. And... it feels like my mind has gotten a bit sharper too."

With a shy smile and a bashful scratch of her head, Wendy conveyed her embarrassment.

Alex, nodding with a warm smile, confirmed, "You're right. Your body has indeed experienced those changes. This is the essence and the most significant impact of mastering Divine Light Mastery."

Wendy stood there, slightly stunned by the realization.

Wendy had mistakenly believed Alex used some formidable technique to boost her strength. To her astonishment, what had been employed was Divine Light Mastery, a foundational skill common among all Blessers but applied in a manner entirely unknown to her.

Alex, seeing Wendy's stunned reaction, explained with patience, "Divine Light is the purest, most gentle, and clearest of all elemental forces. Allowing such energy to freely flow throughout your body is immensely beneficial. Unfortunately, most practitioners wield this sacred power too aggressively against their acupoints, leading to suboptimal outcomes. This is a key reason why many undervalue Divine Light Mastery as merely a basic skill."

Wendy absorbed this insight, her curiosity spiked, "Then, is Divine Light Mastery actually a formidable technique?"

With a solemn nod, Alex confirmed, "Absolutely. If one truly understands how to utilize and cultivate this technique properly, Divine Light Mastery's rightful classification is at the Purple-tier level."

Wendy's jaw dropped in disbelief, her eyes widening. Techniques in their world were ranked in tiers from White to Purple for the common folk, with anything more advanced being out of reach for the majority.

The revelation that Divine Light Mastery, a skill she had diligently practiced as a fundamental one, was, in fact, a Purple-tier technique thrilled her to the core.

Watching his first disciple momentarily lose herself in elation, Alex couldn't help but smile and lightly tapped Wendy on the head once more.

"Ow!" Wendy instinctively covered her head, gazing up at Alex with a look of hurt confusion.

Alex, adopting a more serious tone than usual, cautioned her, "You're letting yourself get distracted again. Have you noticed how much the Divine Light, previously balanced throughout your body, has dissipated?"

This remark jolted Wendy to a realization. Indeed, maintaining such a balanced state of Divine Light energy was more complex than she had anticipated.

As the bell signaling the end of the class session rang, Alex paused briefly before deciding, "Well, it's time to wrap up for today."

"Just focus on today's lesson, and I'll introduce new material tomorrow," Alex said, signaling the end of the class. Unexpectedly, Wendy stood up as if on impulse: "M-mr. Watson...?"

"Yes?" Alex turned, his curiosity piqued by Wendy's awkward demeanor.

With a bashful shuffle of her feet and a nervous twist of her shirt hem, Wendy hesitated, "I found today's lesson quite challenging. Could you, perhaps, guide me through it once more? Just once more would be great..."

Alex, amused by her earnest request, laughed softly, "Of course. You're my sole student at the moment, and I've got nothing else pressing. If you're still feeling uncertain, we can go through it a few more times."

Relieved and delighted by his willingness, Wendy quickly drew him back, positioning his hand on her head again, ready and waiting for his instruction.

Meanwhile, Isabella, hearing the class bell, felt an involuntary acceleration in her heartbeat. The idea of casually strolling past the classroom, feigning nonchalance, filled her with nervous anticipation. She was not one for acting; the fear of her pretense being noticed was mortifying.

But as she fretted over her impending act, the Omni-Class door remained steadfastly closed. Two hours later, just as she was nearly succumbing to sleepiness, the door finally swung open.

Jolted awake and rigid with resolve, Isabella approached, attempting to sound nonchalant, "Oh, Wendy Queen, what a coincidence..."

Her casual remark trailed off as she stared, wide-eyed, taken aback by the sight before her. Wendy emerged, her face a vivid shade of red, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead.

Seeing Wendy in such a state, especially after the class had extended two hours beyond its end, Isabella was hit with a sudden, unsettling thought, "Could they have been doing something other than studying there?!"
