Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Divine Ability

After working on it for almost three hours, Xiang Yu finally managed to extract a pure yang scripture without all the unnecessary elements. Although it still sounded somewhat inappropriate, this version was the purest form he could achieve. He exhaled deeply to calm himself, determined not to rest now that he had reached his goal. It was time to derive the yin technique while the momentum remained.

As he delved into the yin aspect, Xiang Yu noticed something unexpected—the process wasn’t nearly as difficult as he had anticipated. This was because, despite the [Midnight Yang Restoration Technique] being primarily yang-focused, it still incorporated yin energy for restoration purposes. Even the name contained "midnight," which naturally inclined toward yin energy. The version he had extracted, the [Midnight Sun Yang Method], still retained this subtle yin aspect.

With this insight guiding him, Xiang Yu concentrated on isolating just the yin energy portion. After merely a few minutes of focused effort, he succeeded:

[Crescent Yin Method]

He could sense it immediately—this was a pure yin scripture, distinct from the yang method he had extracted earlier. Surprisingly, this duality presented an advantage. To fuse techniques using his system function, they needed to be compatible. Merging pure yin and pure yang would be nearly impossible given their extreme opposition, but since the yang method contained a small yin component, it created a connection point where they could interface, making fusion feasible.

However, Xiang Yu encountered an unexpected revelation. When he discovered these yin and yang methods, he realized his fundamental understanding had been flawed. These weren’t elements as he had initially thought—they were more like foundational energies that comprised the elements themselves. Water, for example, contained rich yin energy balanced by slight yang. Disrupting this balance by introducing more yin would transform it into ice. The yin-yang equilibrium formed the very basis of elemental composition.

After attempting to merge these energies with other elements, he found it impossible—such a combination would completely destabilize the elemental balance. Nevertheless, his efforts weren’t wasted. He decided to preserve these techniques, recognizing their potential future utility. Since the yin and yang methods showed compatibility with each other, he proceeded to merge them.

The moment he activated the fusion, Xiang Yu found himself transported to an environment of extreme heat. His entire body seemed to burn and evaporate. In the next instant, he plunged into bitter cold, his form crystallizing and fracturing from the intense solidification. He oscillated violently between these polar states, experiencing the absolute extremes of both conditions.

After what felt like an eternity, everything suddenly stilled. Xiang Yu found himself standing atop a massive tai chi symbol. To his right extended a burning world of scorching heat; to his left spread a frozen landscape of bitter cold. His body occupied the precise midpoint, simultaneously experiencing both extremes. He felt these opposing forces existing within him, but unlike the competing bloodlines that fought for dominance, these extremes perfectly balanced each other—harmony emerging from opposition.

In the next moment, his eyes opened to a new system notification:

[Divine Ability: Yin-Yang Harmony]

...

Xiang Yu stared at his system interface in disbelief. A completely new section had appeared: Divine Ability. He had never encountered such a classification before, but the name alone suggested it might typically be accessible only to those with divine-level enlightenment or higher—a level well beyond his current capabilities. How had he managed to unlock something so profound?

Upon reflection, it made sense. Yin and yang represented the ultimate opposing forces; their successful merger would naturally produce something extraordinary. Still, the reality of what he’d accomplished stunned him.

Examining the interface more closely, he noticed the absence of any numerical stats beside this new ability. It wasn’t that the divine ability couldn’t improve—rather, his enlightenment level was insufficient to accumulate experience points for it. He suspected he couldn’t gain even a single point of experience until his enlightenment reached the divine stage.

Despite this limitation, the situation wasn’t entirely discouraging. Even with just this initial understanding, Xiang Yu sensed a doorway to an entirely new realm of possibilities opening before him. He raised his hand, activating the fire palm technique. His palm began to glow with a gentle orange light.
