NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 5: Goddess Sister
Chapter 5: Goddess Sister
In his room, Su Mo began his first attempt at cultivating spirit power. He wasn't sure whether the major sects and clans had more advanced cultivation techniques, but for now, he was using the publicly available spirit power cultivation method of Douluo Continent, which could also be called meditation.
Sitting cross-legged in meditation, Su Mo summoned his Soul-Hunting Spear, which floated quietly in front of him.
As he started cultivating, an invisible energy began to gather in the void, slowly being absorbed by Su Mo's martial spirit.
This was how spirit power cultivation worked on Douluo Continent—through meditation, martial spirits absorbed energy and converted it into spirit power.
The quality of a martial spirit determined the cultivation speed of a soul master. The higher the quality of the martial spirit, the faster the cultivation.
Similarly, martial spirits of higher quality typically had higher innate spirit power, which is why innate spirit power was considered a measure of a soul master's cultivation talent.
After cultivating for two hours, Su Mo noticed that his martial spirit had reached its limit and could no longer absorb any more energy to increase his spirit power.
"Is this my limit already?"
"At this rate, it will take me at least six months to increase my spirit power by one level!"
"To go from spirit power Level 2 to Level 10, I'll need about five years!"
"By the time I graduate from the primary soul master academy after six years, my spirit power level will only be around 12!"
"This talent is really lacking—I wouldn't even meet the minimum requirement to enroll in Shrek Academy!"
"And that's just the early stages. The further I go, the slower my cultivation will be with this poor talent!"
"According to the cultivation theories of this world, it's almost impossible for me to reach a high level!"
"Forget becoming a Soul King, even reaching Soul Elder might be my limit!"
Su Mo felt a bit down after finishing his cultivation. He knew his talent wasn't great, but it was still discouraging to see the reality of it.
At his current cultivation speed, he'd only reach spirit power Level 12 by the age of 12.
But in the anime, the protagonists were all nearing Level 30 at that age.
The gap was more than just a small difference.
Su Mo realized he needed to change this dismal situation.
In the past, he might have thought about finding immortal herbs to improve his talent. But now, he felt he should first consult Bibi Dong.
Determined to act on his plan, Su Mo calmed his mind and entered the internal vision state, once again focusing his consciousness on the martial spirit world within him.
Inside his martial spirit world, Su Mo approached the blood-red mist and entered the Rakshasa Domain.
...
"What are you doing here again?"
Seeing Su Mo enter once more, Bibi Dong's figure appeared by the blood pool, her expression displeased as she looked at Su Mo.
She had specifically told him not to disturb her unless it was necessary.
And it hadn't even been that long!
"Uh… um…"
"Goddess Sister, I came to see you because I have something important to ask!"
Su Mo was a bit nervous under Bibi Dong's displeased gaze. If his earlier assumptions were wrong, Bibi Dong might just kill him on a whim.
"Goddess Sister?"
Bibi Dong was taken aback when she heard Su Mo's address for her.
No one had ever called her that before!
For some reason, she found herself liking the title.
"Alright, what is it?"
Deciding to let it slide because of the title, Bibi Dong's expression softened.
"Goddess Sister! I've heard that besides the publicly known spirit power cultivation techniques, the sects and clans of Douluo Continent have more advanced ones. Goddess Sister, do you have such techniques?"
"Heh, women!"
Seeing the change in Bibi Dong's expression, Su Mo sneered inwardly, but outwardly he maintained a nervous and hopeful look as he asked her the question.
"Spirit power cultivation technique?"
Bibi Dong paused for a moment, clearly surprised that Su Mo had come to her for something so simple.
An advanced spirit power cultivation technique was nothing difficult for her to provide.
"Since you're so eager to improve, I can give it to you!"
"But first, answer me this: What year is it in the Douluo Calendar?"
Bibi Dong smiled slightly as she responded to Su Mo, finally asking the question she had been meaning to ask earlier.
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Goddess Sister!"
Su Mo feigned excitement as he thanked Bibi Dong, then answered her question, "Goddess Sister, it's the year 2637 in the Douluo Calendar!" (Tang San was born in 2631 Douluo Calendar.)
"2637?"
"Have I… gone back?"
Upon hearing Su Mo's answer, Bibi Dong's eyes trembled slightly, and she muttered to herself in disbelief.
Perhaps because she felt no need to be on guard in front of Su Mo, thinking that a little kid like him wouldn't understand what she was saying, she didn't even consider hiding anything from him.
Her mind was filled with shock and joy!
She hadn't expected that she really had returned to the past.
Hearing Bibi Dong's muttering, Su Mo's heart skipped a beat.
Returned?
From where?
She couldn't be talking about simply returning to his body as his martial spirit, and it didn't seem to be about returning to Douluo Continent, since Bibi Dong had never been trapped somewhere far away.
The most likely explanation was that she had returned from the future.
That must be why Bibi Dong asked him what year it was.
This situation was eerily similar to those time-travel novels where the protagonist returns to the past after dying.
"So, typically, people who are reborn into the past die first before returning."
"Does that mean this Bibi Dong in front of me was killed by Tang San in the future and has now returned to the past?"
"But instead of being reborn in her own body, she's been unlucky enough to end up as my martial spirit?"
"So, does that mean there are two Bibi Dongs in the world right now?"
Just from Bibi Dong's brief muttering, Su Mo quickly pieced together a lot of information.
No wonder Bibi Dong had introduced herself as the Rakshasa God. In the future, she really does become the new Rakshasa God!
"Goddess Sister, is there something special about it being the year 2637?"
Looking at Bibi Dong, whose expression was filled with emotion, Su Mo tried asking another question to see if she would reveal the truth.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to know what year it is," Bibi Dong shook her head, clearly not intending to tell Su Mo the full story.
However, Su Mo's voice seemed to bring her back to reality. She gestured for him to come closer. "Come here. I'll teach you the advanced spirit power cultivation technique now."
"Okay, Goddess Sister!"
Without hesitation, Su Mo stepped forward.
Bibi Dong extended a slender finger and gently touched Su Mo's forehead. A stream of information flowed into Su Mo's consciousness.
It was the advanced spirit power cultivation technique he had asked for!
"Alright, I've given it to you. Make sure to work hard on your cultivation!"
After encouraging Su Mo briefly, Bibi Dong lightly waved her hand, once again sending Su Mo out of the Rakshasa Domain.
All she wanted now was to be alone with her thoughts.
