"Today is Saturday, and with no school, I can use the whole weekend to see how much Chakra I can accumulate!"
The passive skills didn't require Shiyu's attention or control, nor did they interfere with his own Chakra operations.
They simply kept adding Chakra out of thin air.
Shiyu sat around for an hour, feeling a bit bored.
"Let me try refining Chakra on my own!"
After all, he had nothing else to do. Although he could only refine Chakra three times a day by himself, any extra Chakra was still beneficial.
He returned to his room, closed his eyes, and sat on his bed.
Shiyu began to refine Chakra manually.
This time, however, the refinement process felt unprecedentedly easy.
He guided the fusion of physical and spiritual energy in his body to extract Chakra.
He was long familiar with the process, and it posed no difficulty.
The refinement was completed successfully.
At the same time, he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
Compared to the passive skill column, it took Shiyu nearly 30 minutes to complete one Chakra refinement on his own.
It wasn't even close to the same level!
[Detected: Host has completed a skill release beyond the fixed skill quality.]
[Update skill status?]
"Huh?"
"Beyond the fixed skill quality?"
"Does this mean I completed a more perfect Chakra refinement?"
Indeed, this latest Chakra refinement felt especially flawless.
"Update?"
Shiyu spoke tentatively.
[Skill status update completed.]
Immediately, all Chakra refinements in the seven passive skill slots were updated.
Five minutes later, Chakra was added again, surprising Shiyu.
"It's even more than before!"
Although it was the same seven strands of Chakra, the amount had clearly increased by about one-third.
"Is this the effect of the skill update?"
The Chakra refining techniques fixed in the passive skill slots were now performed at Shiyu's most optimal state of refinement.
After completing an even better refinement, the system updated the skill to use the new standard.
And he only had to complete the refinement once. The system would record it and automatically apply it to the passive skill slots.
Every passive operation would now run with this new level of precision.
"And the system has a skill update feature too! Incredible!"
As Shiyu's body and mind grew, the quality of his Chakra would naturally increase over time.
If the old standard remained, the Chakra refined through the fixed techniques would eventually become insufficient.
"It seems I don't have to do anything at all!"
The system would manage the skill execution and even update the skill status by itself.
Wait a minute!
After the excitement passed, Shiyu suddenly noticed something.
He had just completed a Chakra refinement on his own—so why didn't he feel tired?
This was a manual Chakra refinement!
Normally, he should have felt physically exhausted and mentally drained.
So why did he still feel completely energized?
Could it be that refining Chakra manually was also free of any consumption?
