I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Wan felt as if she had been struck by a technique called "Soul Drain," her mind buzzing, her scalp tingling.

No, rather than being drained, it felt more like something had been poured into her.

Knowledge, experience... even immersive experiences.

In a trance, she seemed to transform into her younger brother, controlling a body so powerful it was beyond belief, situated in a bizarre space with a Nine Chi Great Spear in hand, conducting extremely complex calculations in her mind, every part of her body executing precision maneuvers.

Time and again, she engaged in deadly training with a man named Zhou Yinglin, a matter of both ranking and life or death.

Such unbelievable fatigue, pain, and the suffocating terror brought about by facing death...

...Had her brother, Xue Jing, been enduring such torment all along to become this strong?

Xue Jing placed his hand on Xue Wan's crown, feeling the effects of the "Empowerment."

The moment he used this skill, he instinctively mastered the methods of Empowerment and various more sophisticated maneuvers.

Firstly, this skill wasn't the type of Empowerment where "once the skill is transferred, the giver loses it"; it was more akin to "sharing."

It allowed Xue Jing to transfer the experience and knowledge in his mind, as well as the memories etched into his muscles, to anyone he wished without losing them himself afterward.

Empowerment had to be performed by Xue Jing touching the recipient's head with his hand.

Xue Jing himself could intricately choose which parts of knowledge and memories to pass on and which to withhold.

The use of Empowerment wasn't a huge burden for Xue Jing himself; it only consumed a small portion of his spiritual power, transforming it into fragments of knowledge, memories, and experiences that entered the recipient's brain.

"But it seems like the mental burden on the recipient is quite heavy."

Xue Jing watched as Xue Wan's face began to show signs of weakness and pain, her lips turning pale, her body breaking out in a thin sweat.

"The 'Impeccable' technique I imparted to sister only taught less than thirty spear techniques... but I can't continue anymore."

Xue Jing discontinued the Empowerment, his palm slowly moving away from Xue Wan's head.

"Uh ah!!" In an instant, like a drowning victim who had finally been rescued, Xue Wan started gasping for breath incessantly.

She fell backwards, limp on the sofa, opening her eyes wide with lingering fear.

"Jing... this is…"

She gasped for a while, then turned pale as she looked at Xue Jing beside her.

Her weakened state was a stark contrast to her usually lively demeanor, offering a delicate beauty of frailty.

Xue Jing poured a glass of water and handed it to Xue Wan, waiting until she had gulped it down before he apologetically said,

"Sorry, sis... I just learned a new technique, thought it would be beneficial for you so I tried it, didn't realize the side effects would be so severe."

Speaking, Xue Jing expected Xue Wan to complain and feign anger, demanding various forms of compensation.

However, unexpectedly, Xue Wan merely reached out, tenderly touched Xue Jing's face, and said compassionately,

"Jing, it must have been very hard."

"You've always been so diligent and suffered so much, and only now do I understand…"

Xue Jing appeared puzzled.

It's not sisterly… don't be like that, I'm scared.

Where did my goofy sister go? My sister can't be this normal.

This wasn't the Xue Wan he knew.

"Who are you?"

"Smack—" Xue Wan stretched her hand and gave Xue Jing's arm a crisp slap.

"You're getting cheeky, huh?"

Now that's more like it... Xue Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said, "Actually, it's not so bad, the hardships and efforts are nothing compared to the gains."

Xue Wan must have received memories of his harsh training along with 'Impeccable.'

Xue Jing realized, it was no wonder it was such a huge mental burden on her.

The infusion of foreign knowledge and experiences must already be torture, not coming from a gradual personal experience but forcibly stuffing a stream of concepts into one's mind and body in a short time, definitely demanding great mental resilience.

Especially with his relentless training methods... although he was accustomed to it himself, it was indeed terrifying for others.

It seems he should be more cautious performing Empowerment on others in the future.

Better not accidentally cause someone's mental breakdown, turning them into a fool.

Xue Jing glanced at the panel notification.

[You've conducted Empowerment on someone else, topping experience points +668]

Eerily, only one notification.

Xue Jing frowned slightly.

Hm? Where did the large "Nurturing Return" function from "Teaching" go before the Skill Sublimation?

How come the Skill Sublimation seems to have eliminated that function?

Strange... Xue Jing shook his head, looked at Xue Wan, and asked,

"Sis, how do you feel?"

Xue Wan pondered for a moment, hesitated, and said,

"I think... I know martial arts now."

Instinctively, she raised her hand, extending just her index finger, then with a focused look, she quickly targeted various vital points on Xue Jing.

One point after another, each strike was a perfect hit, creative as an antelope hanging its horns, though her fingertip couldn't harm Xue Jing, if it were a sharp spearhead... although it would also not hurt, such a deep mastery of the essence of martial arts in finger-pointing was beyond what an ordinary person with no martial arts knowledge could achieve.

Xue Wan exclaimed excitedly:

"Jing, this must be like the method of imparting martial arts in those martial arts TV shows!"

"I remember it's called… called..."
