The Girl

In the Shower area of the School Gym.

As he peaked out, his eyes bulged out of his face and he was stunned silly. Meng Tian continued to stare at the wonderful scenery which the holy angels had bestowed upon him.

He could see a fair maiden covered in sweat, slowly undressing her clothes. She had perhaps assumed that the showers were vacant this time of the day. Her sweat filled face was enchanting to say the least. The sharp blue eyes, the red lips, the slim neck,... everything about her mesmerized Meng Tian. He was convinced that this beautiful lady had to have been an angel, who had somehow forgotten how to fly and stayed back on this Earth.

Meng Tian's unblinking eyes had a clear view of her flowing black hair, covering the red peaked mountains, which was then tied up effortlessly in a bun above her head. Her slim waist was the path leading to the strangest valleys known to mankind, ever since the inception of this universe. He did not have to imagine anything as everything was laid bare before him.

The long slender legs that supported the two perky cushions could not have been more perfect. He could not have imagined that such a view would be presented to him when he came to the shower room a couple of minutes back.

This was the first time for the 16-year old Meng Tian to have seen a naked woman, even if by an accident. Fatty Li always tried to let him experience it, through different audio visual aids, but Meng Tian was a bit shy to walk that way of the experts.

As she finished undressing, Meng Tian had already stored this scene in the precious depths of his memories. Just as she was about to go inside one of the shower rooms, she felt like somebody was watching her.

She turned towards a certain direction and her eyes turned cold and wary. She scanned the entire area once, but could not find anything. So, she went inside her shower and locked it.

Meng Tian was petrified from her gaze as she had been looking straight at his shower room. His recent breakthrough to become a Martial Soldier (Qi Condensation Lv.1) had increased his reflexes to such an extent, that a normal high school student who had not even become a Martial Apprentice (Body Forging Realm) could not perceive his movements.

So, as she was about to look towards him, Meng Tian ducked back into his shower room without making a sound. Although his heart had been racing at a very high speed, Meng Tian's movements were precise and fast.

After waiting a couple of minutes and confirming that the lady was not going to come out soon, Meng Tian was about to escape the shower area slowly. That was when he finally remembered that he was naked. He did not even have a single piece of clothing to cover himself.

At this moment, Meng Tian knew that he was not going anywhere for the time being. Even though he did not have anything on him, his consciousness space still had his smartphone. So, he could call Fatty Li to get him some gym clothes. But, he could not do it now as the beauty was taking a shower.

His hearing had become super sensitive after becoming a Martial Soldier and he could hear what was happening in her shower, painting a blurry picture in his mind.

"Sigh... I can't get out of here as of now. I might as well check out what I can improve again. I have more than 45000 Energy Points remaining. I'll add some of them to my cultivation again... Or I can try to add some points to my Elemental Water Affinity Talent..."

1,000 Energy Points spent... [Elemental Water Affinity Lv.3 (0/1,000)]

10,000 Energy Points spent... [Elemental Water Affinity Lv.4 (0/10,000)]

In his consciousness space, Meng Tian's Soul started reacting to the Energy Points being spent. A cloud of blue elemental particles started gathering around it. They were the water elements generated by the Energy Points inside the dark consciousness space, around the Soul body. It would gather all these water elements to condense it into a blue Energy ball and swallow it.

His Soul would double in size and the level up would be completed. Meng Tian repeated this process twice... Previously when his Soul size increased, his body could not keep up with its progress. Hence, there was a clear danger of his body exploding... But, his current cultivation had increased the tolerance of his body, and it could house a bigger Soul.

However, the limit had been set to two levels above his own cultivation realm. For example, if his cultivation is at the First Realm (Body Forging), the maximum Water Affinity possible is Lv.3, where the size of the Soul would be four times that of an ordinary Body Forging Realm Soul. The same applies as his cultivation keeps on increasing. Hence, the current maximum Water Affinity possible is Lv.4.

"Then again... Each point increase in any talent or skill requires 10 Energy Points. Even if I consume the remaining recovery serums, I don't have enough points to level up my Water Talent again. So, the limit is just about right for my current Energy budget as well... Next I'll improve my Sword and Movement skills..."

1,000 Energy Points spent... [Sword Lv.3 (Advanced) (0/1,000)]

10,000 Energy Points spent... [Sword Lv.4 (Perfection) (0/10,000)]

100 Energy Points spent... [Movement Lv.2 (Intermediate) (0/100)]

1,000 Energy Points spent... [Movement Lv.3 (Advanced) (0/1,000)]

10,000 Energy Points spent... [Movement Lv.4 (Perfection) (0/10,000)]

As he leveled up his Sword skill, the Energy Points spent turned into a stream of golden liquid. It flew and buried itself into Meng Tian's mind forming the picture of a blur-faced Swordsman. That picture started moving and performing the various stances of the Sword in a much more profound manner.

The basic stances were performed to perfection and by the time the performance had ended, Meng Tian felt that he had already practiced the sword for many decades together. His skill level increased and the only thing left was for his body to get a little bit accustomed to it.

In a similar manner, the Movement skill that had been left at level 1 had finally improved to level 4. The current known skill levels are- Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Perfection and Mastery. Meng Tian had already achieved touched the perfection level in both the Sword and Movement skills.

By the time Meng Tian was done adding Energy Points to both of his skills, it had only been a couple of seconds.

"Hmm... This is the best I can do for my current main skills- Sword for offense and defense, Movement for dodging and escaping. Sigh... My Energy Points are still insufficient. I only have a little over 12,600 points left. All of my other skills are currently knowledge based. Their level is sufficient enough for my high school studies."

"The five Primary Stats will improve with cultivation. So, I will just add the remaining Energy Points to increase my cultivation level again."
