"Boy, do you know what Yi Hai is?"
TL: Yi Hai literal translation = Ocean of Consciousness... basically a common wuxia term used by JinYong, an extremely famous wuxia author

"I don't know, master."

"Yi Hai is a type of force, an invisible power. Mastering both the Qi of Heaven and Earth is considered to be the pinnacle for one's Yi Hai. With your Yi Hai at its pinnacle, you will be able to use Yi Hai to feel the life-force of all living beings–humans, animals and even nature itself. One would even be able to feel the movements of everything on Earth. Starting from today, you will begin to learn, and you must master Yi Hai within 5 years."

......

My mind whirled as I thought of the old man; it had been 7 years since I last saw him. Unfortunately, I still hadn't reached the pinnacle of Yi Hai as he wanted me to.

As I closed my eyes while lying on the dormitory bed, I started concentrating solely on feeling the Qi around me. The closest concentration of Qi around was Glasses. He was quite weak but somewhat healthy; his health wasn't anything to worry about. Extending farther away, I felt the boys within the entire dormitory. My Yi Hai finally extended to even further places and picked up a couple of strong Qi sources that were at the pinnacle of the Refined Body stage. I could feel the Qi come from north of the school, probably near the brothels in the west district. The owner of the Qi must be the bodyguard of some underground mob boss, having a physique much different than the average person.

My brows furrowed as the sweat oozed down my face. This time, I was able to extend the Yi Hai 10 kilometers away. This surprised me since I hadn't been training diligently at all.

As I thought, the old man helped develop for some reason. Could it be that was a game that could actually help develop the brain in order for it to be able to break through the limit most practitioners face? That would mean with , one would be able to learn how to surpass their limits by playing in game!

I kept up with my Yi Hai for some time and then finally I began to feel the exertion kick in. I reduced the circumference back to around 3 kilometers which was just enough to detect Wan Er. If by chance somebody above the Refined Body level or a "Werewolf" with at some unnatural energy level was near Wan Er, then I would be notified immediately.. If the enemy was below the Royal Air level, Wan Er's regular bodyguards would be able to take care of it instead of me.

......

Drowsily, I went to sleep without knowing when I'd wake up. Soon enough, the alarm went off and woke me up. Checking the time, it was 6:00 in the evening. In an hour, it would be time for me to log on and finish up the rest of the mission.

"Du-du..."

My phone rang, it was Wolf calling —

"Hey Wolf, what's going on?"

"Ah, Brother Xiao Yao, do you want to eat dinner together? It'll be at that Hunan restaurant just outside campus. All of Zhan Long will be there, we'll all become closer! Haha, actually, we just want to drink a bit."

I laughed, "Alright, then can I bring Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue too? I'm quite worried about letting Wan Er eat alone..."

"Go for it!"

......

Hanging up, I dialed Wan Er's number–

"Wu..." Wan Er's voice sounded a bit groggy, even a bit annoyed.

Speechless, I asked, "Miss, did you just wake up?"

"Now I'm awake. What happened?"

"I'll be going out with Zhan Long to eat together. Do you and Dong Cheng want to come?"
