31 Misty Ball
"Angus, you're already awake. aren't you?" Asked Jacob.
Not getting any response from his sleeping son, Jacob creates [Firebolt] on his finger before trying to launch it at his sleeping son.
At this moment, Angus shouted, "Don't shoot.. Don't Shoot!! I'm already awake, okay. How the hell do you know that I am faking it?"
Looking at the awakened son, Jacob disperses his [Firebolt]. "Nah, I don't know. I just have a feeling that you are already awake." replied the duke carelessly.
"@$%%$^#@ Tch.. forget it. So, I didn't kill anyone, right?" asked Angus in a serious tone while still lying on the bed.
Before the duke replied, he sent his shadow guard to guard the door. "It's okay. No one dies. Judging from your tone, you already know about that 'berserk' state."
"Well, you could say that I know some part of it." Angus begins to think hard about explain this situation to his father.
"What do you mean by that?" Inquire Jacob more.
"Ahh… It's just that... I feel there is... something in me." Angus tries hard to giving him the proper answer.
"Hmph... " The duke looked at his son seriously.
After a few moments of silence, "Since when do you feel this strange thing?" Asked the duke more.
'Did he truly believe it? Well, technically, I am not lying.' thought Angus inwardly.
"I don't know. I'm just aware that there is something in me, and I can't control it." replied Angus vaguely.
Hearing this, the duke immediately replied, "I see. I guess this is also one of the reasons why you never try hard in practice, right? Are you afraid to hurt those around you?"
'How come he concluded something like that? Well, it's better this way.' thought Angus silently while nodding his head to his father's conclusion.
"Alright, I get the gist of the problem. But, still, that didn't answer your knowledge to medicate my wound. So, care to explain to me, my dear son?" Asked Jacob seriously.
"Err… Well, I read in a bo...." [Angus]
"Angus!!" Shout Jacob as he releases his mana aura to his son.
"B-but that's true. I read the method in a book (in my past life) and developed it further." Answer Angus hurriedly.
Sensing that his son is not lying, "So, you are truly developing this technique alone?"
"Y-Yeah (in my past life)." replied Angus.
"T-that's… great!! No, it's wonderful." Jacob is happy that his son is such a genius.
'Since Angus was always smarter than his peers, he may truly have found this technique.' thought Jacob inwardly.
Before he finally realized something, "Wait, that means I am your first patient?"
"Y-yeah… (in this world) well, is there something wrong??" replied Angus.
'This kid!! He makes his father as his guinea pig' thought Jacob inwardly.
Alright, don't tell anyone about this before my return, Okay?" As Jacob pat Angus's shoulder.
"Urrgh…" Angus's grimaced in pain from his father's pat.
Noticing this, "How is your body?" asked Jacob.
"Ahh… it's nothing major. I just got muscle pain all over my body. Probably need more than a week before it goes back to normal." replied Angus.
"Good, just don't overtax yourself. Wait, you are not using this as an excuse to laze around, right?" asked Jacob.
"O-Of course not, father. I truly can't move my body without feeling pain now." Angus replied hurriedly.
"Alright, then I will be leaving. Also, don't create any unnecessary problems before I come back." said Jacob while leaving the room.
After Jacob leaves, Angus feels a huge relief.
'Haaa… luckily, my father misinterpreted my vague answer. Well, none of it matters. Now, I need to check my body first.' thought Angus as he scanned his own body.
Suddenly, Angus found massive hidden energy located in his abdomen. The energy is similar to his previous inheritance chi.
It is very big but also hidden well so no one beside him could sense this massive energy. The energy is also intangible and cannot be touch yet also real. Unless some people try to examine his body in-depth, no one will find about it.
The energy is like a dense gas of a misty ball. The deeper he tries to inquire, the thicker the mist, making him unable to see through it. After looking at this familiar misty ball, he knows immediately what this is.
'This is the heritage chi that I got from my master in my previous life. How come I get it suddenly? Moreover, didn't I use this chi to self-destruct myself in the past?' thought Angus.
After trying to think for a few minutes, Angus gives up to find the answer. It is not because he didn't want to know the answer but because he never truly understood this misty ball chi since he inherited it from his master.
Even after researching for years in his past life, Angus never uncovered this heritage chi true power, origin, or capabilities.
One thing that he knows is to use this chi like a sort of external chi battery. It could give inexhaustible chi towards the user.
However, it needs to be refined first before could be used. Otherwise, it will consume the user's mind, like in his previous berserk state when Angus fought his father.
Some people with weak constitutions and minds could even burst into piles of meat immediately because they cannot endure its power.
'Huff… I guess I got lucky to survive despite having this chi.' thought Angus inwardly.
Other than its usage as external chi power, he never uncovered this misty ball chi's additional feature.
After that, Angus put his mind aside and began to look at his system. His system also somehow recognizes this energy during the fight. He hopes he finds his clue about this in his system.
'Let's see my status first.' thought Angus as he summoned his status panel.

'Hmm… The system is not helping at all. Well, at least my body broke through some bottleneck. Let's think about this later. Now, I just want to go back to sleep.' thought Angus before closing his eyes.
