Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent

Chapter 5



Chapter 5: Insufficient Contact, Unable to Flow Smoothly

Room 214005.

Shu Fuyao’s dormitory.

Her three roommates sat cross-legged on their beds. Their eyes closed, and cultivating.

Like three statues of Buddha.

Motionless.

The aircraft carrier did not provide any other space. Cultivating on the bed was not very appropriate. So Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao sat cross-legged on the dormitory floor.

They extended their hands forward, palms facing each other.

Their palms touched.

Shu Fuyao’s hands were slightly cool and soft.

Their eyes met, and she shyly looked away. This was the first time she had touched hands with a boy like this. Inevitably, she felt a bit awkward.

Li Chengfeng, on the other hand, didn’t think much of it:

“Let’s begin.”

“Okay.”

Shu Fuyao agreed.

She closed her eyes and lips tightly.

The two of them meditated according to the cultivation method described, entering a state of deep meditation. They reached a soul consciousness state that allowed them to perceive the microscopic world within their bodies.

They had both attempted this kind of deep meditation before. They were quite adept at it, and they knew how to quickly activate their spiritual consciousness.

However, soon after, they both opened their eyes.

Shu Fuyao slightly furrowed her sword-like eyebrows:

“It doesn’t seem to be working!”

She felt that the communication between them was not very smooth.

They couldn’t establish a proper connection.

According to the “Dual Cultivation Divine Art,” the two participants in cultivation must increase direct skin contact as much as possible. Only in this way could their spiritual consciousness and Qi (spiritual energy) communicate smoothly and without obstruction. Thus forming a stable four-corner balance.

Li Chengfeng thought for a moment.

This might be due to insufficient contact area. So, he suggested:

“Let’s interlock our fingers. This will increase the contact area.”

Shu Fuyao pursed her lips.

It seemed there was no better way.

She nodded calmly.

They spread their fingers apart, their fingers interlocked.

Ten fingers intertwined.

Even with her close friends, Shu Fuyao had never done such a thing.

Fingers connected to the heart.

With their fingers interlocked, wasn’t it as if their hearts were connected?

Shu Fuyao appeared calm on the surface, her expression serious. However, her cheeks gradually turned red.

She couldn’t control it!

Both closed their eyes, ready to activate their spiritual consciousness once again, but they couldn’t clear their minds for a long time.

The distracting thoughts in their heads galloped like wild horses.

Unrestrained.

Letting themselves go.

After a long while, they finally activated their spiritual consciousness. However, the result this time was not much different from the last time.

It was still unstable.

Communication was still not smooth.

Balance was still not achieved.

The contact area had only increased a little bit.

It wasn’t enough!

Far from enough.

Shu Fuyao opened her eyes and rolled them helplessly:

“Why is it still not enough?”

“This…”

Li Chengfeng scratched his head.

Quickly thinking of a solution:

“How about this? I’ll hold your arm, and you hold mine. This way, we not only have palm contact but also arm contact area.”

Shu Fuyao thought for a moment.

For the sake of cultivation, she had to make some sacrifices. If she didn’t cultivate and become stronger, in that other world, she would be at the mercy of others.

She still hoped to have control over her own fate.

“Hopefully, this will be enough.”

Li Chengfeng raised his arms and opened his palms. Shu Fuyao reached out and held them. This was somewhat better than interlocking fingers. However, it seemed the contact area was still not sufficient.

The flow of Qi always felt somewhat blocked.

It seemed the channel connecting them was still too narrow. What else could they do? They had already used their hands.

“Let’s use our feet, the soles.”

Li Chengfeng came up with this idea.

Shu Fuyao hesitated:

“This…”

“Don’t worry, I don’t have athlete’s foot.”

Might as well go all the way.

Shu Fuyao didn’t believe that they couldn’t cultivate today.

So, it was sole against sole.

Even so, the four-corner balance was still shaky and not firm enough.

At that moment, one of Shu Fuyao’s roommates finished her cultivation and opened her eyes. She saw Shu Fuyao and a young man tightly holding each other’s arms.

Their soles pressed against each other.

The posture was very strange and it looked quite ambiguous and hard to explain.

She was instantly dumbfounded.

“Oh my god! Fuyao, what are you doing?”

The others also woke up and opened their eyes in surprise.

“Tsk tsk tsk, what are you two doing?”

“In broad daylight, what are you two doing, this… this, this… practicing some evil art?”

Shu Fuyao quickly withdrew her hands as if they were burning. Her face turned crimson with embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

Li Chengfeng explained:

“We are cultivating.”

“Is this how you cultivate?”

“What kind of cultivation is this? Your arms are twisted like pretzels!”

“Handsome brother, who are you?”

Shu Fuyao covered her face and ran out.

“My name is Li Chengfeng, sorry for disturbing you!”

“What is your relationship with our Fuyao?”

“Yeah, we’ve never seen you before!”

“I’m telling you, if you dare to bully our Fuyao, we won’t let you off!”

Li Chengfeng smiled awkwardly and backed out of the narrow dormitory.

It seemed that dual cultivation was not that simple. He had no choice but to return to his own dormitory.

After a while, Shu Fuyao called him via voice communication.

“This is so embarrassing, let’s never cultivate in the dormitory again.”

Shu Fuyao’s tone was extremely frustrated. Now her roommates would definitely think she had some special relationship with Li Chengfeng.

“There’s no other place to cultivate besides the dormitory.”

“The washroom isn’t bad, it has quite a bit of space.”

“Then let’s try the washroom next time.”

“But… let’s forget it, I think this method is too strange. Using both hands and feet still didn’t work, more than that won’t be possible.”

“Alright, it is indeed a bit strange. I originally thought just touching palms would be enough.”

Li Chengfeng didn’t insist. After all, to practice this divine art, sacrifices had to be made. At worst, they would rely on another method to level up.

For the entire week, the two of them did not attempt cultivation again. They placed their hopes of leveling up on killing alien races.

A week passed.

The journey was about halfway through. All the students were diligently cultivating, and everyone had made some progress.

Modu University Genius Group—

Principal: How has everyone’s cultivation progress been these past few days?

Chu Xiang: I’m at level 4.1.

Principal: Not bad, not bad. Try to break through to level 10 before we arrive.

Chu Xiang: Definitely.

Zhang Kun: I’m at level 3.5.

Principal: That’s also very good.

Principal: @Shu Fuyao, Li Chengfeng, how about you two?

Shu Fuyao: Same as before, level 0.

Li Chengfeng: Level 0.

Someone who usually liked to lurk couldn’t help but speak up upon seeing this situation.

Zhao Tang: Even the ones with D-level cultivation talent in my dorm are at level 0.1, and you two geniuses are still at the starting point.

Zhao Tang: What genius group? More like a group of losers.

Principal: Sigh!

Soon, Shu Fuyao received a notification:

“You have been removed from the Modu University Genius Group by the administrator.”

Shu Fuyao was stunned.

She had actually been kicked out of the group! She, with an SS-level world-class genius talent, had been removed from the genius group.

Humiliation!

Utter humiliation!

She never thought she would be treated this way.

She was almost infuriated to death.
