Condensing energy into a certain shape was an arduous task and sufficient control with mind power, having a more detailed shape in mind might boost the art's efficiency later, but it would undoubtedly make it harder to condense.

Luckily, I had already trained that by controlling sword energy, However, that was only good enough not to ruin it, I'd probably still need dozens of tries to perfect the elemental seed.

I first controlled my mind power to absorb a spark of lightning from the orb, this was to be the core of the cell. Shaping it wasn't hard to do as it was just the beginning.

Next, I'd supposedly need to absorb about half of the orb's energy, and use it as a shell for the core. However, before I even got the chance to…

Thump!

A lightning energy, much more tyrannical than the one in the thunder lion's attribute orb, started to accumulate around the core forming a shell on its own, and the source of this energy?

It was gushing out of my own body and into it!

I started to feel the sting of pain coursing through my body as I let the orb out of my hand, now that a better energy was provided, what else could I do than be thankful. The pain was too much for me to wonder how did I have this energy in my body, all I could do now was to concentrate on the third step!

The third and last step was to carve this shell, into the true shape of a cell, the most arduous step of them all.

However, I gritted down on my teeth as I started to use my mind power as a carving knife, while referring to the visualization in my head, unaware of time....

>>>>

Huh….Huff….

I panted as I was finally able to relax my tension as I looked at my latest masterpiece, a blue cell that resided in my heart's left ventricle, in the exact opposite location where sword energy resided.

It almost looked exactly like a real cell, the only difference was that it was all made of pure lightning energy that even I didn't know where it came from….

That was the 'Elemental seed' of 'Lightning cell', with this it could be said that I have successfully set down the foundation.

[5h: 2m: 33s]

It also took me almost five hours to make so it wasn't a product of recklessness, I'd even say that it was much more detailed than the cell diagram in the book.

Next was to use this small lightning cell to temper the whole body, the whole body was made of cells which meant that once 'Lightning Cell' is successfully practiced, lightning could be conducted from any point on the practitioner's body.

On the other hand, most other 'Elemental Arts' have limited conductance, so while 'Lightning Cell' seemed much harder to practice, its use could be quite versatile.

There were at least almost 100 trillion cells in the whole body, yet a single cycle of 'Lightning Cell' only took less than an hour.

Starting by the heart and also ending at the heart, I started moving according to the body diagram in my mind which was mostly in the book with little edits done by me.

1 hour later….
