Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Farmer: 9th Grade

Inside his spiritual sea, Xiang Yu immediately noticed the continued expansion of the sea. Without hesitation, he jumped in, allowing the rejuvenating energies to wash away his mental fatigue. As the tension melted from his consciousness, he experienced that rare moment of complete relaxation that had become increasingly precious during his intense cultivation regimen.

His peaceful interlude was interrupted by an unexpected presence. The soul infant, usually dormant and unresponsive, had awakened and was now circling him with surprising vigor. Its tiny form bobbed through the spiritual currents, orbiting him.

"It seems this little guy has matured a bit," Xiang Yu thought with mild amusement.

Before he could contemplate further, the infant abruptly collided with him, the impact sending a sharp "Ouch!" through his awareness. The miniature being began jumping energetically, its small mouth working as it struggled to produce sounds, its frustration evident in its exaggerated movements.

"Are you trying to speak?" Xiang Yu asked, genuinely curious about this development.

The infant continued its frantic gesticulation. Though it couldn’t form words, Xiang Yu felt a peculiar resonance through their connection. Concentrating on this subtle link, he finally understood what the infant was trying to say.

"You’re telling me not to be lazy?" he asked incredulously.

The infant nodded vigorously, its tiny features taking on a serious expression.

Xiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh. He’d only wanted to relax a bit, but it seemed he couldn’t do that.

"Thanks for reminding me," he conceded, patting the infant’s head with gentle affection.

Surrendering to the infant’s persistence, Xiang Yu assumed his meditation posture. To his surprise, the soul infant immediately mimicked him, its diminutive form settling into a perfect replica of his lotus position.

Together, they began circulating energy through harmonized patterns, their synchronized cultivation continuing uninterrupted until Xiang Yu finally opened his eyes when dawn arrived.

"Alright, it’s time for me to leave," he announced, preparing to withdraw from his spiritual sea.

Unlike previous sessions where the infant would collapse from exhaustion, it remained alert despite visible fatigue. It floated upward, tiny hands grasping Xiang Yu’s fingers.

"You don’t want me to go?" he asked.

The infant nodded, its expression plaintive.

"Weren’t you the one who said we shouldn’t be lazy?" Xiang Yu reminded it with a bemused smile. "Just be good. I’ll come back later."

Gently, he placed the infant in its usual resting spot within the spiritual sea. The moment he set it down, the small being instantly fell asleep, its energy finally depleted from their prolonged cultivation.

Watching its peaceful slumber, a strange sentiment washed over Xiang Yu. "Why do I feel like I’ve become a father?" he wondered, shaking his head as he retreated back to his physical form.

Xiang Yu’s eyes snapped open as consciousness returned to his body. Reflecting on the soul infant’s rapid development, he realized he might have underestimated its potential. At this pace, employing it for soul attacks might become viable sooner than anticipated—though using what was essentially a child for combat struck him as somewhat disturbing. But that could wait—he’d cross that bridge when he got there.

With a single fluid movement, he leaped from the spirit spring, and donned fresh robes. His attention turned to the small garden he had nurtured so diligently. After days of careful tending, it was finally time to see if his efforts would bear fruit.

Retrieving a knife from his spatial ring, Xiang Yu approached the herbs, ready to harvest. Each plant required specific harvesting techniques to preserve their medicinal properties—some valued for their leaves, others for flowers, buds, or fruits. The specimens before him needed their buds collected at precisely this stage of growth.

Working with meticulous care, he harvested each bud without damaging the vital parts of the plants as they could grow other buds if the ’root’ is not damaged. This precision wasn’t merely out of concern for these relatively common herbs; he just believed that adhering to textbook protocols would increase his chances of officially gaining the Farmer profession.

After completing the harvest, Xiang Yu settled down and accessed his system interface. Bracing himself for disappointment, he closed one eye, though it was pointless since the system displayed directly in his mind. To his satisfaction, the results weren’t disappointing at all:

[Farmer: 9th Grade (10/100)]

"Cough, cough," Xiang Yu attempted to alert him discreetly, but Elder Guo continued unabated.
