Second-Rate

Ryu's attention turned to his Internal Matrix. His self-created method was built off the back of Real Qi alone. Even after all the changes to his soul, he hadn't touched it. 

But now, he felt a state of enlightenment coming that he couldn't suppress. 

The moment his gaze turned to the Internal Matrix, it was as though something had exploded in his mind. 

Waves of Essence descended, forming a golden pillar as he lost himself in thought. He didn't even have time to register what level of Enlightenment he had just triggered. He had already begun to tear apart his Internal Matrix and reform it. 

If he had gotten these many benefits from just the fusion of Real Qi and Nether Qi, didn't that mean if he split his Spiritual Sea into perfect thirds, incorporated Ethereal Qi as well, it would rise to another level? 

But this was just speculation, he didn't know for certain.
