Wu Shen never felt tired of the busy daily routine. Each day was a new opportunity to understand the world he now lived in—a world filled with spirit energy, cultivation, and powers beyond what any normal human could imagine. But despite the incredible strength his Kryptonian body gave him, he knew that without understanding and practice, this power could become directionless and wasted.
Li Muwan, as the heir of the Li family, had spent years honing her cultivation abilities. However, she always trained within the limits of this world, striving to reach higher levels of cultivation to meet the expectations of her family and the world. Wu Shen often observed Li Muwan practicing diligently, and he couldn't help but feel awe at her determination.
However, there was something different within him. Though still young, his Kryptonian body absorbed solar energy perfectly, granting him limitless physical strength. With a single punch, he could shatter a large boulder, and with one leap, he could jump over a mountain. But his body also needed more than just physical strength.
Spirit cultivation was the key to directing that power more precisely. Wu Shen knew that if he only relied on his extraordinary physical strength without learning to align himself with the spirit energy, he would lose the chance to fully reach his potential.
Hot Morning
That day felt hotter than usual. Wu Shen stood in the vast courtyard near Li Muwan's pavilion, dressed in simple training clothes. He stood upright, his eyes closed, trying to sense the flow of spirit energy around him.
Li Muwan, who was training a few steps away, watched curiously. "Wu Shen, what are you doing?"
Wu Shen opened his eyes, looked at her, and replied, "I'm trying to feel the flow of spirit energy inside my body. If I can control it, maybe I can use my physical strength more wisely."
Li Muwan stepped closer, walking lightly, and stopped right in front of Wu Shen. "Spirit cultivation indeed requires perseverance, Wu Shen. But it's not easy. Many people can't reach its peak even after training for years."
Wu Shen nodded. "I know. I'll give it a try."
With a gentle movement, Li Muwan extended her hand to the air, and spirit energy began to flow into her body. Wu Shen watched closely, trying to feel what Li Muwan felt. The spirit energy in this world was very different from his physical power, and combining it with his Kryptonian strength felt like trying to unite two different worlds.
Li Muwan turned and looked at Wu Shen, who was still standing, deeply focused. "Don't rush. This process requires patience. You must start slowly and not force your body."
Wu Shen smiled slightly. "I won't push myself. I know when to stop."

Evening: The Deepening Process
After the long morning training, Wu Shen felt somewhat tired. But the perseverance he had put into his training was beginning to show results. As night fell and everything became quiet, Wu Shen sat again in the corner of the pavilion, trying to align his physical body with the spirit energy.
In the silence of the night, his body began to glow faintly—a soft light that was visible only to him. With full concentration, he started to sense a stronger, clearer flow of energy than before. His body, which was used to absorbing solar energy, now began to adapt to the spirit energy.
The spirit energy was like a river that carried Wu Shen deeper into the world of cultivation. He felt power not only physically but also spiritually, flowing through his body. Every time he took a deep breath, he could feel the flow more clearly. The spirit energy that once seemed like a random current now became more directed.
For the first time, Wu Shen felt as though he had merged with the surroundings—the sun's power blending with the spirit energy. In that moment, he realized that he was no longer relying solely on his physical strength, but on something greater—a power that was more harmonious.

The Next Morning: A Visible Change
The following morning, Wu Shen woke up earlier than usual. He felt refreshed and full of energy, more than before. His body, which had usually only absorbed solar energy, now seemed more balanced, as if his physical strength and spirit energy complemented each other.
Li Muwan was already in the courtyard when Wu Shen came out of the pavilion. She looked at him with clear curiosity.
"There's something different about you, Wu Shen," Li Muwan said as she observed him closely.
Wu Shen nodded. "I feel stronger. Not just physically, but also in controlling spirit energy."
Li Muwan smiled faintly, but there was a sense of pride in her eyes. "I knew you could do it. You really are different from everyone else."
Wu Shen looked at Li Muwan, his eyes shining with determination. "I want to keep learning, Nona. I want to become stronger, more skilled, and one day, I want to protect you."
Li Muwan couldn't help but smile. "I know you'll protect me, Wu Shen. But remember, this journey won't be easy. There will be many challenges ahead."
Wu Shen nodded resolutely. "I'm ready, Nona. I will face whatever comes."
With steady steps, Wu Shen continued his cultivation training. That day marked the first step in his long journey toward true power. Now, with the ability to unite solar energy with spirit energy, he began to feel that the world wasn't such a frightening place after all. It was a place where he could grow, learn, and ultimately reach his goals.
