"D*mn it, such a thing actually exists? Can I really improve my cultivation while sleeping? Will I be able to break through in my martial arts?"
A mechanical voice suddenly rang in Xiao Chen's head.
[Congratulations, host, for activating the supreme Sleeping System! As long as you sleep, your cultivation will improve. Every two hours of sleep will double your cultivation speed!]
[The maximum increase is 100,000 times!]
[When you break through a realm in your dreams, the system will reward you with a supreme martial arts manual!]
[Now, host, please activate sleep mode and strengthen yourself in your dreams.]
Xiao Chen wouldn't let this chance slip, especially after what had happened a few days ago...
Inside the Xiao Mansion, located in Yunhai City of Tianlong Land.
"Master Xiao, please remain calm. Young Master Xiao's cultivation..." The sentence trailed off into a sigh.
An old man with a snow-white beard and a head full of white hair pressed his finger against the sleeping youth's wrist. He sighed and said with pity, "Young Master Xiao is only at the First Level of cultivation."
"What? My son, Xiao Chen, is only at the First Level of cultivation? He was born ordinary?"
Xiao Fa slammed his fist on the table, lamenting.
Bai Ling shook his head and said helplessly, "Master Xiao, please forgive my incompetence. Talent is God-given. The innate power of a human cannot be changed."
"With only the First Level of cultivation, he is destined to remain a layperson his whole life."
Xiao Fa sank into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
In Tianlong Land, everyone practiced martial arts. The strong were respected.
Talent was the foundation that determined a martial artist's future strength.
There were ten levels of talent, ranked in ascending order of strength. Each level had a significant gap. A person with the tenth level of talent could theoretically cultivate ten times faster than someone at the first level.
"First-level cultivation talent?"
Xiao Chen rubbed his eyes, opened them, and asked in confusion.
At the time, he couldn't accept it. But now, everything seemed to have changed!
Since he could gain cultivation while sleeping...
Overjoyed, Xiao Chen decided to go back to sleep.
Without hesitation, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Xiao Chen, are you asleep again?"
Xiao Fa was taken aback, his face stiffening.
Suddenly, a figure pushed the door open and entered the room.
"Xiao Fa, I heard that Xiao Chen's talent is only at the first level?"
A burly middle-aged man strode into the room with a young man. At the sight of Xiao Chen, he sneered and exclaimed loudly.
This was Xiao Hai, Xiao Fa's younger brother and the Xiao family's second master.
"Xiao Fa, since Xiao Chen only has first-level talent, he is not qualified to continue as the young master of the family. I think it's better to hand my son, Xiao Feng, the title as soon as possible."
Xiao Hai proclaimed proudly, "Xiao Feng is at the third level of talent! Xiao Chen can't compare with him at all. I believe the Xiao family will become more powerful under Xiao Feng's leadership!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Furious, Xiao Fa glared at Xiao Hai.
Xiao Hai might have been his younger brother in name, but they were not related by blood. Xiao Hai was the son of Xiao Chen's grandfather's close friend.
"Stop that racket! You're disturbing my sleep!"
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and spoke in irritation.
He had been sleeping soundly, but the brothers' quarrel woke him up.
"Who told you that I can only be an ordinary person? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I've already broken through two realms in my sleep."
As he spoke, a wave of energy emitted from his body. He had reached Level Two of the Qi-refining Realm!
