Running Out

'Oh? Really. Interesting.'

The entity seemed confused by Dyon's response. He could clearly see that this was Dyon's actual reaction. He didn't show despair or apprehension. In fact, he had already thought of many possible avenues for dealing with it. Possibilities that the entity found absolutely ridiculous, but, how could Dyon have as much experience as the entity? He could only try his ideas until one worked.

After all, if his intelligence had acted as a lure to break the dam on his soul cultivation. And he catalyzed his body cultivation with the essence blood of his master. Didn't that mean there must also be a way to break the dam on energy cultivation as well? He just had to find a way…

"You don't seem to understand."

'Well, grand teacher, you're in my mind, aren't you? You know more than anyone else whether I truly understand or not.'

The entity ignored Dyon's words. Seemingly intent on making the situation as clear as possible.
