Ki Gathering Level 2

After cultivating for one whole day he finally started feeling some power in his body. But soon he heard a growling sound coming from his stomach. He realized he was hungry. He opened the fridge and found some fruits and ate them. Then he checked the time and found it was 3 am. He decided to cultivate until he reaches Ki Gathering level 1.

This continued for 3 days until he found he was out of fruits and had nothing else to eat. But he was happy cause he finally reached Ki Gathering level 1. His body ejected out black filth from the pores on the skin so he took a shower. After coming out he saw his body became clearer and smooth and his physique changed a lot. He grew 2 inches taller and now reached 1.8m. He started feeling hungry again so he decided it was time to go out and check this world and buy some edibles.

Although his body strengthening level still did not reach the first stage, he did not mind much cause it was very hard to strengthen your body internally much less he was in the mortal world with negligible Ki energy.

Enzo suddenly remembered that one needed money to buy things in this place. He checked his wallet and found 50 Solari.

'How did this guy earn money if he was an orphan?' He wondered. 'Oh babysitting for others, this does not seem like a job that can pay well. Perhaps that is the reason he lived so poorly. If not for the savings his adoptive mother kept for him before her death, this guy would have died from starvation.'

'Wait, this guy was shot so it's better to stay low-key. I don't have enough power right now and I don't think I have a chance against guns at my mere Ki Gathering level 1 power. Perhaps at Ki Gathering level 4, I might stand a chance against guns using my own body.'

He wore a cap and a mask to disguise himself. Although it was the lowest level of disguise and Enzo was ashamed using it even though he knew stealth magic, it was better than nothing since he could not even use the lowest level of magic before Ki Gathering level 3.

While walking on the road he kept observing people. He found many interesting people which made him smile because the difference in people of the two realms was too huge. People in the immortal realm were all greedy and selfish and considered their own things much more important than others. But people here were sensitive and cheerful.

Soon he found a restaurant in the market and thought of eating the delicacies of this world. But when he entered he realized that not much can be ordered for 50 Solari. But still, he ordered a plate of fried rice clearly not remembering that this was his last money and he still needs to eat for more days. After wasting the last remaining note in his wallet he walked out of the restaurant dejectedly. Clearly, the fried rice was so so.

Now that he had no money and nothing to do he walked on the banks of the Zhyne river which flows in the city. He found a bench and sat on it and started cultivating, clearly not wanting to waste any time.

Soon a black Mercedes Benz S class arrived there. A man in his 60s got out of the car and stretched himself. Then he saw a young man sitting on the bench he always sat on and was surprised. His two bodyguards who also got off the car wanted to go and remove the young man from the bench but were stopped by the man.

The man went and sat beside Enzo. He saw Enzo had closed his eyes and seemed like he was meditating. He checked Enzo up and down once again and found that this young man although looked ordinary but had a different vibe to him. Then he also started enjoying the breeze and stopped paying attention to Enzo.

Enzo was delighted. He found that this place for some reason has more Ki energy than his room. In a short, while he felt he progressed a lot and if he cultivates here for full 1 one day he might even reach Ki Gathering level 2 here. Enzo quickly stopped cultivating cause he wanted to know the reason why the Ki energy was more here.

As soon as he opened his eyes he saw an old man in his 60s sitting beside him. He looked around and saw two sturdy-looking men in black suits standing as guards near this old man. He was shocked by seeing them. These two bodyguards were Ki Gathering level 3. Although not exactly Ki Gathering level 3 as he clearly saw they did not have the aura of Ki energy around them. But their powers were the same as Level 3 warriors.

Enzo was surprised. He did not know that there were powerful people in this city. Realizing something, he quickly diverted his attention towards the old man.

The old man was enjoying the breeze. The old man felt someone was looking at him. He turned and looked towards Enzo and found him staring.

"Young man is something wrong?"

"No not at all, I was not expecting someone to sit here. My name is Enzo."

"Hello Enzo, I am William, William Bane". The old man smiled.

Enzo gave a smile too. He did not care about the old man's name. The old man was surprised. He was from the renowned Bane family, one of the most powerful families in the city.

Most people would do anything to sit beside the old man and talk so casually as if they were his friend. Yet this young man showed no emotion hearing his name.

'Hmm, this is interesting, this lad here seems to have no intention of using this opportunity to form a connection with me. Interesting, very interesting.' William thought.

"Are these your bodyguards old man?" Enzo asked.

"Yes, they are".

"Old man, don't mind me saying this, but you are clearly stronger than your bodyguards. Then why do they still follow you? It's not like they can protect you, considering your own power." Enzo questioned. This question was bothering him from the start.

William was shocked. How could this young man who looked so ordinary, could know he was actually stronger than his own bodyguards?
