In response to recent reviews in the comments section.

Firstly, some readers feel that the direction of basketball is somewhat off. Basketball serves as a subplot leading up to subsequent events. Additionally, while Hao Ren knows how to strive, he does not know how to persevere. Even the most unassuming Buddhist teachings have "勇猛精進" (brave and diligent advancement). The breakthrough timing for the third level of the Concentration Technique embodies this principle: never yield or bow down; fight for every thread of vitality with heaven and earth.

Secondly, some readers feel that Xie Yujia's scenes are excessive, causing dissatisfaction. I don't have an explanation but can only say that Xie Yujia serves as a pivotal character whose role may adjust based on reader feedback. Readers interested in her should share their opinions.

Thirdly, some readers feel Hao Ren is just coasting and not putting effort into his training. This might be due to insufficient representation, which I'll improve upon. In the story, Hao Ren seeks clarification for any uncertainties in修煉 (cultivation). Doesn't that indicate an eager cultivator Also, with the Tai Mountain Bracelet, does he harbor resentment toward it or toward Su Han What is its function, compelling Hao Ren to almost constantly cultivate Concentration Technique when awake

The novel has progressed past 100,000 characters; I don't add extraneous characters and plots. I'm the type who won't pad out chapters to reach a certain word count because that's not what readers want or deserve for their subscriptions.

This chapter is well-written.

Rushing outside the gym, Hao Ren now understands what it means when they say there are unusual phenomena in the sky!

The originally sweltering and cloudless weather suddenly amassed layer upon layer of white clouds converging above the campus!

Even basic techniques like Concentration Technique trigger such celestial phenomena at its third level breakthrough. One can only imagine what a tribulation would look like!

While Hao Ren thought this, he suppressed his boiling blood and sprinted!

He needed to find a place to safely advance in cultivation, and the entire campus had but one location that could offer undisturbed training.

"Bang bang bang" He rushed into the administrative building, raced up the stairs, and headed for Su Han's office!

No time for knocking, he knew Su Han would be there.

Bang! Hao Ren pushed open the door and charged in.

Su Han saw Hao Ren rush in and was not surprised. She faced the sky and flicked her fingers one after another, instantly dispersing the fluffy clouds.

With a wave of her hand, the door that Hao Ren had pushed open automatically closed by itself.

Hao Ren didn’t bother greeting Su Han and rushed to his usual meditation mat, immediately focusing his mind to sit in meditation.

Su Han continuously waved her hands, enveloping Hao Ren with two layers of purple-green halos, serving as protection for him.

Half an hour passed like this. Hao Ren took a deep breath and opened his eyes, looking at Su Han and saying, "I have surpassed the third level!"

Su Han nodded indifferently, withdrew the two layers of halos, but said nothing.

Hao Ren assumed that Su Han was displeased, so he continued to explain, "I didn’t mean any offense; it’s just that I suddenly felt like I needed to break through. There was nowhere else for me to go, so..."

Su Han waved her hand to stop Hao Ren's words.

Seeing Su Han’s attitude, Hao Ren couldn’t guess what she was thinking and stood up. "I’ve bothered you enough today. I won’t come again after 4 PM."

As he spoke, he examined his body and felt the充沛天地之氣充滿每個毛孔，無比舒暢。如果控製這些氣息凝聚與流動，還可以散發到體外，真正達到“內氣外放”的第三層境界！

原來突破凝神訣，並不像想象中那麼難。一切都要靠機緣，當然努力修煉也是冇錯的。達到第三層後，郝仁心裡一陣輕鬆，壓力也減輕了不少。

之後再鞏固凝神訣第三層的境界，找一份功法練一練，衝擊坎級應該不難吧！隻要底子打好，入門就不難了！

當！

郝仁走到門口，卻像撞上了一堵牆。

他回頭看看蘇涵，而蘇涵指了指郝仁剛纔坐的那個位置。

郝仁疑惑了幾秒，忽然想到什麼，麵色鐵青。差點忘了，真正的考驗還在後麵！

Translated to English while keeping the original HTML tags:

Hao Ren felt the充沛天地之氣 filling every pore, incredibly comfortable. If he controlled these breaths to condense and flow, he could even emit them outward, truly achieving the third level of "internal qi external emission"!

Breaking through the Spirit Condensation Formula wasn't as difficult as imagined; everything depended on fate, but diligent practice was never wrong. After reaching the third level, Hao Ren felt relieved and a lot less pressure.

Solidifying the third-level realm of the Spirit Condensation Formula, finding a technique to train in should make breaking through to the Kan rank not difficult! As long as you build a solid foundation, it's not hard to enter.

Clang!

Hao Ren walked to the door and felt like he had hit a wall.

He turned back to look at Su Han, who pointed at Hao Ren’s previous seat.

Hao Ren was puzzled for a few seconds before suddenly realizing something. His face turned ashen. He almost forgot that the real test was still ahead!

The moment when a fierce, sharp flame surged within his body.

All vital points were burning!

This feeling was even harder to bear than being roasted over fire!

Hao Ren hurriedly stumbled back to the seat he had just left, sat down with legs crossed, and activated Concentration Formula. He tried his best to suppress it.

He almost forgot that after the joy of breaking through comes a torment of rebirth!

Puff! Bang!

Each acupoint felt like undergoing small explosions. Qi kept condensing, expanding, and bursting out, causing Hao Ren to be in excruciating pain.

A few minutes later, Hao Ren could no longer maintain the sitting posture. Even before Su Han, a beautiful lady, he couldn’t keep up appearances, lying flat on the chair with a hunched back, fists clenched tightly as he endured the pain.

Each acupoint undergoing explosions—what kind of suffering was this! As if each acupoint had tens of needles being stabbed at once and it happened all over his body!

His clothes and pants quickly became drenched with sweat, even soaking the chair.

Su Han calmly watched Hao Ren. Suddenly, she opened a drawer, took out a bottle of pills, and flicked them onto the table.

"What are these" Hao Ren gritted his teeth to ask.

"Wind-Clearing Pills; they can alleviate your pain," Su Han replied.

Right when Hao Ren reached out to grab them, she added, "Although these pills can reduce your suffering, they will also prematurely end the self-refinement process of your body, affecting future levels of cultivation. Of course, if you don’t expect to break through to the Heaven Level realm, then there’s no issue."

Hao Ren was nearly passing out from pain at this moment, but after hearing Su Han's words, he thought for a while and put the bottle back on the table before pushing it further away.

Su Han looked at Hao Ren's actions with slight surprise. She wasn't sure whether to be impressed by his determination or pity him for his underestimation of himself.

With his talent, does he still want to break through the Dry Stage

I have to admit that his Condensation Mind Art has progressed rapidly, but this is also due to the meticulous guidance from many experts. Does he think that breaking through the following stages of Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder would be as easy

Considering he's a mortal with a chaotic body, being able to continuously break limits and reach the Fifth Stage (Sign) has already been his peak performance. And the East Sea’s expectations for him are merely reaching the Fourth Stage (Thunder), then returning half of the dragon pill to Little Purple, which could save her life—a win-win situation.

Just as Su Han was pondering silently, Hao Ren suddenly flipped over and straightened up in pain. Beads of sweat were constantly pouring down his forehead.

"Don't hold out any longer; if you can't bear it, take the medicine," Su Han advised. Seeing him enduring to this degree, she really didn't know whether to call him stubborn or foolish.

Hao Ren shook his head and gritted his teeth, continuing to endure. His arms bulged with veins as he gripped the chair handle so tightly that it trembled.

Su Han closed her eyes in disgust, not caring about Hao Ren’s wellbeing.

This went on for another half hour before Hao Ren, drenched in sweat, finally sighed in relief and said to Su Han across from him, "Su Han, I've passed."

Su Han opened her clear eyes; her hand stretched out, the medicine bottle flew back into her hand. She didn't say much as she put it in a drawer.

"The subsequent stages will become increasingly difficult. Pain is just the beginning. In the future... forget about it. I believe Zhao Guang won’t sit idly by and watch either." Su Han brushed her hair back, "When you barged in earlier, I was practicing an art to seal my senses; that's why I couldn't speak for a short while—didn’t mean to play guessing games with you."

Hao Ren nodded. Given Su Han’s personality, she had already gone out of her way to explain things to him.

Thinking about his rash entry into Su Han's office almost causing her trouble during practice, Hao Ren felt even more guilty.

"There are restrictions set up in my office. But you wore the necklace I gave you, which allowed you easy access this time—understandable under these circumstances. In future, unless it’s a matter of life and death, please avoid disturbing me between 4pm and 6pm," Su Han continued.

"Okay." Hao Ren nodded again. Despite her seemingly unyielding appearance, she was actually quite nice to him—something he knew well.

"Lastly, since you've broken through the third level of Condensation Mind Art, there's something I should remind you about," Su Han looked at Hao Ren. "In a few days, Zhao Guang will take you to the Dragon Palace for selecting cultivation techniques; if you truly want to advance, choose those with stable progress and beneficial to realm enhancement. Relying solely on power and competitiveness is not sustainable in the long run." up and lift her into his arms.Zhao Yanzǐ suddenly lost support and flailed wildly in panic.
