The female will said: "The Primordial Energy value, which is the quantity of Primordial Energy, along with its purity, collectively influence a cultivator's strength. For an ordinary cultivator, the difference in Primordial Energy value within the same realm is not large, so the impact is limited. But you, who broke through with a Primordial Energy value of over 300, now have a value far exceeding that of cultivators at the same level. Even if your Primordial Energy were of the same purity, the power you could unleash would far surpass that of an ordinary cultivator of the same level."
"Furthermore, you broke through using an optimized secret method from the God-Devouring Chess space. Combined with the extraordinary difficulty of breaking through with such a high Primordial Energy value, the process itself was a form of tempering your Primordial Energy. Therefore, the purity of your Primordial Energy is also much more refined than that of an ordinary cultivator. With these two factors combined, the Primordial Energy power you can unleash will be several times that of an ordinary cultivator at the same realm."
"Several times that of an ordinary cultivator at the same realm..." Hearing the female will's words, Yuyin understood. Insisting on breaking through with a Primordial Energy value far beyond the norm was a risk, but it seemed to have been well worth it. This first step had to be built on a solid foundation; the opportunity would not come again.
This was only considering the power of Primordial Energy eruptions. If one added Yuyin's physical strength, honed through the superior secret method of the Imperial Daughter Physique Cultivation, and her skills like the Polaris Sword Art... an ordinary Source Martial Practitioner in the New Stage of the Spirit-Seeking Realm would likely be no match for her.
But this was just a static assessment of her strength. In actual combat, with its myriad variables, the outcome was unpredictable. Having greater strength did not guarantee victory.
"New Stage of the Spirit-Seeking Realm? So, what other stages are there in this Spirit-Seeking Realm?" Yuyin asked. She figured that the stages within one great realm must be the minor realms, right?
However, the female will did not answer.
"The Spirit-Seeking Realm is the first realm for a Source Martial Practitioner, isn't it?"
"And what comes after the Spirit-Seeking Realm? What other realms are there?"
The female will still did not answer...
Yuyin guessed that the female would typically not answer her questions if they were unrelated to the current God-Devouring Chess system, the implementation of secret methods, or if they were not yet relevant.
"The second layer of the God-Devouring Chess board world will open in fifteen days. Please strengthen your chess pieces as soon as possible..." the female will said to herself after a moment of silence.
"Important reminder: a Total Soul Value of over 360 is recommended to enter the second layer for exploration..."
"A Total Soul Value of 360? That's so high..." Yuyin was a little surprised. Her current Total Soul Value was 287, still a bit short of 300. Moreover, she had to subtract the non-combat pieces like miners and herb collectors.
With that in mind, she would need a Total Soul Value of at least 390 to meet the recommended combat requirement for exploration.
She wondered what kind of chessboard world this second layer was. Clearly, judging by the required Soul Value combat power alone, it was far more dangerous than the first layer!
However, Yuyin was running low on Soul Charm Points now. She had been focused on her cultivation for this past month and hadn't gone to the Underground Fighting Arena. Since the last time she got her acceptance letter, she hadn't gained many Soul Charm Points. At this rate, her resources would soon be depleted.
Go to the Underground Fighting Arena now?
Yuyin shook her head. The semester was about to start. It was better to prepare for the most important things first.
The second layer of the chessboard would open in fifteen days, but once it opened, it wouldn't close again. There was no rush to explore it.
In the final days before the semester started, Yuyin continued to focus on her physical training, supplemented by her sword and leg techniques.
After her breakthrough, Yuyin's strength had taken a great leap. Practicing the Ancient Temple Leg Technique became even more effortless for her.
The setting sun shone through the glass into the six-meter-high living room. Yuyin leaped high in the spacious living room, easily clearing the height of the second jumping platform from her very first jump.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
She kicked out three times in succession. The sharp wind from her legs swirled in the living room. The two chandeliers on the left and right shook continuously, making the light, crisp sound of crystal glass.
Yuyin landed lightly.
The Ancient Temple Leg Technique was now mastered to the point of proficiency.
The cultivation levels of the Ancient Temple Leg Technique could be divided into four major stages: Basic, Proficient, Perfect, and Transcendent. Yuyin had already completely mastered the second stage.
This was a peaceful era in the metropolis, and she couldn't walk around every day with an iron sword. In the city, leg techniques were often more useful.
Yuyin picked up a wet wipe and gently wiped the sweat from her chest, her legs...
"Ah... I forgot I'm still wearing the flesh-colored stockings... Why did I just wipe myself with a wet towel..."
It just made a large wet patch on her thigh.
She didn't care about such details, since she would be taking them off for a shower soon anyway.
Yuyin sat on the sofa and picked up her phone to send a message to Yingluo.
"Long time no see, where are you?"
Yingluo replied a short while later.
"I'm still in the Aegean Sea with my parents. It's so beautiful here..."
She sent a series of photos to Yuyin: an azure sea, snow-white houses.
It was indeed romantic...
"The semester is starting soon. When are you coming back?"
"Our school starts a bit later. We won't be back in the country until early September."
"What school did you get into, anyway? You haven't told me yet." Yuyin sent with a puzzled smile on her face.
However, a moment later, Yingluo sent back a mysterious-looking emoji.
"You'll find out when the time comes."
"..."
Yuyin was even more confused. "What is Yingluo up to?"
Even Liu Li had called Yuyin to say that she had packed her luggage and left early to report to the Lin'an Source Martial Academy. And there was another strange call where the person on the other end said nothing and hung up. She didn't know who it was from.
Yuyin had also wanted to go to the Lingdu Source Martial Academy to report early, but a few days ago, she had received an official email from the academy stating that the summer road closures would last until August 31st. It reminded new students not to report early and to be sure to come on September 1st.
"This Lingdu Source Martial Academy is also so secretive. Other universities allow students to arrive a few days early. Why do they insist on September 1st? I can't even go a day early to take a look." Yuyin shook her head, threw her phone onto the sofa, stood up, and went to take a shower.

September 1st had finally arrived.
Having experienced so many incredible things, Yuyin had cultivated an extraordinary state of mind. Although she was incredibly excited last night, she followed her plan, went to bed early at 9 PM, and slept very well.
She woke up before dawn, got up, and finished her makeup and hair.
There were no school uniforms in university. Girls could finally wear all sorts of beautiful clothes as they pleased, of course, without being too outrageous.
Yuyin dressed according to her own taste: a white miniskirt outfit. Since it was hot... black stockings, chestnut-colored high heels, and a blue-violet ribbon in her long hair.
Carrying a newly bought, light pinkish-blue suitcase, which she had packed in an orderly fashion with everything she needed for dorm life, clothes, feminine products, and other items, she set off early in the morning.
Finally, she was about to enter the Lingdu Source Martial Academy.
Yuyin drove her white Porsche out of the underground garage with a small drift onto the deserted street, floored the accelerator, and sped away with a roar.
