A few days after he had finished building his tree house Daedalus completed his personal sauna. When everything had been completed Daedalus had only three days left until the safe zone became significantly smaller.
With this knowledge Daedalus decided to up the difficulty of his training, as well as making the surrounding formations several times tougher to break. He already knew that he would need the extra room his formations would give him as he was constantly gathering materials for his hobby.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently it was the first of three days and Daedalus had decided to start with increasing his overall control of his energies. The way he did this was to get all of the energies in his body at once and do his best to surpass his limiters as quickly and efficiently as possible. It was an extremely painful but effective way of increasing his control as well as the overall efficacy of his energies.
Daedalus started it off slow using a small amount of each energy however every five minutes he would double the amount causing greater and greater strain to his entire body. After he reached the twenty five minute mark Daedalus was sweating as if he was in side of a furnace. Another five minutes later his skin started to peel and crack painfully.
After barely making it to the fourty five minute Daedalus' bones where vibrating as his muscles spasmed in a incredibly visible and horrific way. Daedalus finally stopped at this point and enveloped his body in calmer energies and used them to slowly heal his body. This actually made his body slightly tougher for when he did it again, so he decided to call it the masochist body refining technique.
Daedalus did this a few more times and managed to get to the same point of control in all of his energies. With his new found control Daedalus gained a few simple abilities that pertained to the specific energies. For soul he gained a super sensitivity passive skill that in simple terms meant that unless he actively tried not to it would always be active. For Qi Daedalus got an active skill that would allow him to harden his skin and general bodily defenses as well as a slightly modified healing rate passive skill. Finally for mana Daedalus got an interesting enhanced energy sensing and absorbing active skill.
With these new skill Daedalus was quite confident in his ability to survive when the safe zone closed in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Daedalus woke up the next morning, the day before the safe zone closed in, he immediately began working on his energy control similarly to the day before.
It was a similar process of basically constant torture, however it lasted slightly longer than the day before and he managed to reach the two hour mark by his final attempt before the end of the day. After he was done for the day Daedalus immediately began eating as he had used an insane amount of his energy to keep up the practise for so long.
