Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Body Refining 5th Layer

When his enlightenment doubled, getting over a hundred new points, Xiang Yu experienced something transcendent. If yesterday’s sensation was intense, this was an entirely different realm of perception. His consciousness seemed to explode outward, merging with the world around him. Insights about his techniques cascaded through his mind like a torrent of crystalline understanding, each concept perfectly clear yet overwhelmingly numerous.

The sensation persisted, building in intensity that threatened to overwhelm him. When it finally subsided, Xiang Yu gasped for breath, his chest heaving as though he’d run for miles. "That was... intense," he murmured to himself, wiping beads of sweat from his brow. A genuine concern flashed through his mind—if these doublings continued at their current pace, could his body and mind withstand such profound transformations? The enlightenment felt like trying to pour an ocean into a teacup.

But just as panic threatened to overwhelm him, a sudden clarity washed through his consciousness. His racing thoughts settled into perfect order, his mind becoming as still and reflective as an undisturbed pond. This must be the effect of the doubled Mountain Heart Sutra, he realized. The mind cultivation was balancing the explosive growth of his enlightenment, providing the mental fortitude necessary to process such vast insights.

"The mind level is truly crucial," he thought, making a mental note to prioritize this aspect of his cultivation more. Without it, his accelerating talents might tear his consciousness apart rather than elevate it.

His attention shifted to his knife technique, which had undergone its own remarkable transformation. Unlike the broad insights granted by enlightenment, these revelations focused exclusively on bladecraft—pure, concentrated understanding of the knife’s every application.

Memories flowed through him like a visual montage: his first awkward grip on the weapon’s handle; vegetables yielding beneath its edge in the kitchen; the desperate, survival-driven slashes against Gu Wuqing’s men; the more calculated exchanges with Gu Hanming’s disciples; countless sparring sessions with Li Yao; and finally, that triumphant moment when he’d first managed to pressure her into a genuine defensive position.

All these experiences, once separate events, now connected into a seamless understanding. This was Great Completion—true mastery that transcended mere mechanical skill to become intuitive expertise. Xiang Yu exhaled slowly, appreciation flowing through him. "If Great Completion feels like this," he wondered, "how profound must Perfection be?"

His eyes found the system interface floating before him, noting the experience required for Perfection was double that needed for Great Completion. The magnitude didn’t discourage him—how could the pinnacle of mastery be easily attained?

Methodically, he examined his other advancements. His cooking skill had improved marginally, offering refinements to techniques he already possessed rather than revolutionary new insights. His Abyssal Void Flame had reached twenty points, progressing faster than initially predicted—a pleasant surprise.

His battle instinct had nearly reached a hundred points, though without actual combat, he couldn’t fully appreciate the changes this would bring. The movement technique showed modest improvement, granting him slightly better control over its execution. His iron body technique’s advancement was more tangible—he could feel his skin hardening further, developing the resilience he’d need for future conflicts.

The sword technique had gained a hundred points, impressive progress that confirmed the efficacy of spirit food in accelerating cultivation. At this rate, it would soon match his knife mastery at Great Completion.

Finally, he turned his attention to the Mountain Heart Scripture. Breaking through to the fifth layer of Body Refining represented a significant milestone in his journey. Strength flowed through his muscles, his physical form growing more powerful with each passing moment. Xiang Yu savored this sensation of tangible growth.

Satisfied by the day’s progress, he summoned his complete system interface, ready to plan his next cycle of advancement.

...

The system interface floated before Xiang Yu, its ethereal blue glow illuminating his face as he meticulously examined each statistic:
