Cultivation?

Yel slowly opened his eyes and adjusted to the exposure to light after so long.

He blinked in surprise. He could still see wind particles in the air. They were still giving him a warm and fuzzy friendship signal. However, he felt different this time.

He felt he was closer to the wind particles and became companions.

Timon smiled at Yel, "I see you have gained a lot from that!"

Yel nodded, "The world feels different now…"

"That was my first reaction too," Timon said cheerfully and waved his hand. "You deserved your new class and a new position in the Suresa Blade Guild!"

Yel's long-awaited moment finally came. Not only had he advanced into a hidden class, the other rewards were also overpowered. 

He opened his character window:

Spirit Energy?! Yel was shocked.

Spirit Energy is a type of energy that runs through both the body and the mind, it is the path to getting stronger in cultivating stories that he used to read in his old world.

His current Spirit Energy is 100. If Yel thought right, he could increase this value by himself, and not just from the passive levelling up.

He looked at Timon and asked, "Spirit Energy… I can increase it by myself right?"

Timon smiled (why is he always smiling), "Sit down and feel it yourself."

Yel obeyed and closed his eyes again.

He focused on his body and grasped onto the energy that he felt was flowing through him.

He tried to control that energy and directed it through his veins.

He suddenly felt a pair of hands on his back and heard Timon's voice, "Remember the path of Energy flow."

Yel felt a flow of denser Spirit Energy enter him and guide his own Spirit Energy through his veins. Timon guided him through the path 3 times. By the end of it, Yel was confidently directing Spirit Energy through his body.

[Unlocked Spirit Gathering Technique, "Ways of the Wind"]

[Ways of the Wind (Earth)]: Advanced Spirit Gathering Technique that only Acquaintances of the Wind can use. 

Yel smiled. This was just like cultivating! He never thought that this game would have a cultivation function as well.

Timon stood up, "Congratulations! You are now a graduated Acquaintance of the Wind!"

"There's still a long way to go though!" Timon added and waved his hand again.

Yel jumped, there were more stages left? More class advancements?
