Primordial Harem System

He continued to refine the technique, working on controlling the intensity and focusing the energy for maximum effect.

After some time, he became able to coat his arm with a small amount of lightning Qi, not even enough to harm someone.

"Hmm... Maybe I can do thunder massage with this. I should try it on someone," he thought to himself as various targets flashed in his mind.

Soon, he began training his defensive technique.

The Lightning Barrier was essential for defense.

Sitting down, he concentrated on forming a shield around himself.

Lightning Qi flowed outward, creating a crackling barrier that enveloped him.

He tested its strength by manipulating his Fire Qi and launching small energy attacks at himself.

The barrier held firm, deflecting the attacks harmlessly.

"Not strong enough; I need to strengthen it for real-life combat situations," he remarked, seeing the quality of the barrier.

He practiced maintaining the barrier while moving and executing other techniques, ensuring he could use it instinctively when needed.

The Storm Summoning Art was more complex, involving manipulating the environment.

Although inside the chamber, he could simulate the conditions thanks to the Chaos Coins.

He raised his hands, channeling a huge amount of his Qi upward.

The air around him began to stir, and dark clouds formed above.

Lightning flashed within the clouds, and thunder rumbled.

"Even without real atmospheric conditions, the simulation is quite realistic," he thought.

"Maybe I can prank someone by impersonating the Heavens with this technique. Heh, it will be fun," he thought about how he could fool his enemies.

He worked on controlling the intensity and area of the storm, aiming to use it to his advantage in battle and other situations by enhancing his lightning techniques and disrupting opponents.

He also tried to bring down thunder to strike his opponents, which left parts of the room charred black from the intensity of the thunder.

As the month within the chamber drew to a close, Shen Yuan had made significant progress with all four techniques.

He felt more confident in his abilities as his vitality had just increased by a level; he felt eager for the sect competition to arrive so he could test his abilities.

[You've really improved too much in this period of time. Not only has your cultivation base stabilized, but you even made progress with the other Dantians,] Yue Lan praised. [Your mastery over the Thunder God Codex is even more impressive; it has already surpassed your other Dantians except for your main one.]

"Of course, it would be a shame if I couldn't do at least this much with my talent," he replied with a small chuckle.

He stood up and stretched, feeling invigorated. "It's time to leave the chamber."

Exiting the dual cultivation chamber, he felt the familiar shift as time normalized. Only a day had passed in the outside world.

"Now, how many days are left for the Sect Competition?" he thought aloud as he walked out of his main building and entered the garden.

"There should be around a week left, more or less," he said while looking at his serene garden. "Maybe I should visit her now; I made that promise quite a few days ago after all."

He decided to seek out Han Qingyu for the training session they had discussed.

It would be an excellent opportunity to see what hidden bloodline she had unlocked, as well as to give her some pointers.

As he walked through the sect grounds, he noticed the vibrant activity.

Disciples were busy preparing for the upcoming competition, training diligently.

While making his way towards Han Qingyu's mansion, Shen Yuan spotted a familiar figure approaching him.

"Senior Brother Shen Yuan!" a cheerful voice called out.

He turned to see Wan Ling hurrying towards him, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Wan Ling," he greeted with a nod and smiled gently at her. "You seem energetic today."

She smiled brightly. "I heard about your breakthroughs! Congratulations on advancing to the Origin Core Creation Realm."

"Huh? How did you know? I just came out of seclusion," Shen Yuan tilted his head and asked.

"Of course! You're the talk of the sect. An Inner Sect elder who was going somewhere felt the disturbance in Qi around your mansion and guessed that you were already breaking through to the Origin Core Creation Realm," she excitedly said.

"Everyone is curious about the only male disciple who's progressing so rapidly," she continued playfully.

He shook his head. "I'm just doing what I can."

Wan Ling tilted her head slightly. "By the way, are you heading somewhere? Perhaps you could give me some pointers sometime before the competition."

"I'm actually on my way to meet Han Qingyu. I had promised to spar with her," he explained.

"Ah, I see. Well, don't forget about me. I'd love to get some pointers from you," she said with a wink.

He smiled. "I'll keep that in mind. See you around, Wan Ling."

"See you!"

Continuing on his path, Shen Yuan finally arrived at Han Qingyu's residence. Her mansion was modest yet elegant, surrounded by a serene garden filled with blooming flowers and a small koi pond.

He approached the entrance and knocked gently on the ornate wooden door.

Moments later, the door opened to reveal Han Qingyu, her eyes lighting up upon seeing him.

"Brother Yuan! Finally, you're here," she exclaimed with a warm smile.

He returned the smile. "Qingyu, been a long time. I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"Not at all. I was just finishing up some meditation," she replied, stepping aside to invite him in.

He entered the mansion, noting the calming atmosphere and the subtle fragrance of jasmine in the air.

They walked to a sitting area overlooking the garden.

"Please, have a seat," she gestured.

He sat down, taking in the tranquil surroundings. "You have a lovely place," he commented.

"Thank you. I prefer a peaceful environment for cultivation," she replied.

She hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Brother Shen Yuan, there's something I wanted to share with you."

He looked at her calmly. "I'm listening."

She took a deep breath. "As you had expected, Brother Shen Yuan, I recently awakened a dormant constitution.And because of that, I made significant progress in my cultivation."

He chuckled playfully. "Haha, I had said before that you have a hidden constitution. You should have just believed in me."

She nodded. "Yes, it's called the 'Azure Phoenix Physique.' It's a rare lineage that enhances one's cultivation speed and grants control over wind and fire elements."

He smiled warmly. "Looks like congratulations are in order, Qingyu. You might surpass me soon at this rate."

She giggled softly at his words, "Don't make fun of me, Brother Yuan. I know what I'm capable of. I'm sure I can't compare to even 1% of your talent with my meager abilities."

She continued, "Anyway, because of the awakening, my cultivation base has advanced to the fourth level of Origin Core Creation Realm."

He nodded approvingly. "Your progress is impressive. I knew you had great potential. See, you even surpassed me in cultivation base."

She blushed slightly at the compliment. "Thank you. I wanted to tell you first since you've always supported me."
