Kevin, now known as Norman, looked at his status and found himself puzzled by the mention of the cultivation technique called “Essence Harmonization” and the term “Divine” in brackets. Curiosity sparked within him, and he turned to the system, seeking clarification. “System, could you please explain what this cultivation technique, ‘Essence Harmonization,’ entails? And what does the term ‘Divine’ mean?”

[Essence Harmonization is a divine ranked dual cultivation technique that harnesses the inherent power of yin and yang energies, derived from the male and female essences respectively. Through this practice, the balance and synergy between these fundamental forces are achieved, leading to a harmonious union of spiritual and physical energies. It is a method that embraces the inherent duality of existence, recognizing the complementary nature of opposites and the transformative potential that arises from their interplay. ]

Kevin’s confusion remained somewhat unresolved, but amidst the jumble of information, he managed to catch certain phrases that sparked a glimmer of understanding. “So, dual cultivation implies a connection between sex and the divine,” Kevin pondered, his mind weaving together fragments of comprehension. He surmised that such cultivation practices might be categorized similarly to earthly and mortal ranks, indicative of different levels of attainment.

Kevin’s excitement grew exponentially as he realized the immense potential held by divine-ranked cultivation techniques. He understood that even earth-ranked practices could elevate a person to superhuman status, and thus, the possibilities presented by a divine rank were truly awe-inspiring.

However, there was one significant obstacle: Kevin or rather Norman, the consciousness inhabiting his body, harbored a deep aversion to engaging in sexual activities. Having fulfilled that desire in his previous life, Norman found no appeal in pursuing it further. However, Kevin was faced with a predicament. He understood that to make progress in the cultivation technique, it required engaging in sexual activities to harness the vital yin energy necessary for his practice.

Deep in contemplation, Kevin turned to the system, seeking a solution to his predicament. “Hey, system, would it be possible to change this technique? Even lower rank would be fine,” he inquired, hoping for a more suitable alternative.𝓞𝗏ℯ𝑙𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t

[The host can choose whether to learn the technique or not. It’s entirely up to you. However, the system will not provide any other technique in exchange.]

Kevin pondered the system’s response, realizing that his path forward would require careful consideration and personal choices. He understood that while the divine-ranked technique held immense advantages, it might not align with his current circumstances and desires. The decision of whether to embrace the technique as it was or seek alternative paths lay solely in his hands.

But this world was not like his previous one. In this new world, where dangers lurked not only among ordinary people but also among superhumans and other extraordinary beings, Kevin recognized that he needed to adapt his approach. Considering the circumstances and the potential advantages the technique offered, he made a resolute decision to learn the Essence Harmonization technique provided by the system.

“System, I am ready to learn the Essence Harmonization technique,” Kevin declared with determination.

The system acknowledged his request and sought confirmation, stating, “[Please confirm if the host wishes to learn Essence Harmonization: yes or no?]”

Kevin took a deep breath, closing his eyes, and affirmed his choice. “Yes.”

As he confirmed his decision, a flood of information began etching itself into Kevin’s mind. Within a matter of minutes, the process of assimilating the knowledge of the technique was complete.

When Kevin opened his eyes, he took a moment to absorb the newfound understanding of the cultivation technique. However, he realized that only a portion of it was currently comprehensible to him, while the rest remained veiled. He understood that as he progressed further along his cultivation journey, the remaining aspects of the technique would gradually unfold before him, revealing their secrets in due time.

Kevin let out a weary sigh, feeling the burden of engaging in sexual activities once more. “Ugh, here we go again. It’s like a never-ending workout routine,” he grumbled, dreading the prospect of gathering yin’ energy through intimate encounters. The thought of men discovering his aversion to sex sent a shiver down his spine. After all, he didn’t want to end up being chased by an angry mob of offended guys.

But as Kevin shifted his focus to his own body, his hand stumbled upon a surprising revelation. “Whoa, hold up! This guy has quite the ‘generational treasure’ down here,” he exclaimed, chuckling at the sheer size and weight of his newfound asset. It seemed luck was on his side in that department.

Curiosity piqued, Kevin grabbed a glass slab from the nearby table, repurposing it as a makeshift mirror. With a mischievous grin, he peered at his reflection and couldn’t help but comment, “Well, well, well, look at Mr. Ordinary over here.” He noted his unremarkable black hair, black eyes, and a face that could blend into a crowd without a second glance. The only thing that stood out was his fair skin, which made him look like a vampire in dire need of some sunlight.

Standing at a modest height of around 5 feet and a handful of inches, he quipped, “Not exactly a towering presence, am I? I guess my dream of joining the NBA is out the window.” He playfully flexed his lean physique, jokingly adding, “But hey, at least I’ve got this amazing chiseled… sense of humor, right?”

Kevin paused for a moment, contemplating his situation. “Well, they say money can make anyone attractive. Guess I’ll just have to work on that part, too. Step aside, Bill Gates, here comes Kevin, the new heartthrob!”
