Building One's Own Energy

Inside the training floor's hall that Fell had rented, a dumbfounded Wind could be seen sitting close to the door. It had been several minutes since he left the room and had seen the Fell's breakthrough. The young official hadn't moved his limbs even once ever since he fell down. It wasn't only his body that was in a shocked state, even his mind had experienced a thunderous bolt and was currently reeling.

"So this is cultivation…", he mumbled under his breath as he saw streams of energy rushing inside of Fell's body. The young cultivator's body seems to be similar to a black hole, endlessly absorbing energy as if there was no tomorrow. "Although Senior is talented, he should still be in the first few realms of cultivation!" he thought as he began asking himself when he would attain this might. What Wind didn't know was that Fell was only a first realm cultivator, it was only due to him cultivating the three main systems that his breakthrough achieved this terrifying might.

In the end, his cultivation of the three ways didn't hinder his progress. It was quite the opposite; his body grew to an astonishing rate, making his meridian enlarge and turn into hard rubber bands. Even if the streams of energy coursing through his body savagely smashed down on the walls of his meridian, there were only pain and no actual damage. His soul also came in factor as he could skillfully direct the abnormal amount of Heaven and Earth energy through his body without hindering.

If what he was doing was attempted by a normal energy cultivator, he would have failed at the first step as his body wouldn't be capable of sheltering this amount of energy. Cultivating three ways at the same time wasn't doable by any average cultivator. But whoever succeeded in the first steps could achieve extraordinary success at the breakthrough as his accumulation wouldn't be the same.

Time passed and the density of Heaven and Earth energy surrounding Fell grew at an astonishing rate. Wind's sight was filled with a blinding golden light. His sight was veiled but he could still feel the energy inside of Fell's body accumulate even more. Although his soul cultivation didn't attain the point where he could attain vision without his eyes. The small amount of energy that coursed through his body served as a medium for him to assess the situation. The faster the energy rotated inside of Fell's body, the faster it happened in Wind's body.

Wind could feel that his muscles and bones were nourished due to the abnormal potency of the energy in their surroundings. Thankfully, he only had a minute amount of energy in his body as he had only consumed a very mild pill. Thus, although the benefits weren't extraordinary. They also couldn't be ignored. The longer it will take for Fell to achieve his breakthrough, the better Wind's benefits will be.

"Stop dozing!" Wind screamed to himself as he closed his mind to focus his will on his own body. A very rough image of his own physique appeared in his mind. There was no flesh around his body, But the bones and muscles could be clearly seen. The shining dots that traveled through his veins appeared in his mind. Time passed and the minute amount of energy gathered into a thin string that sneaked through his veins, it began traveling inside of paths that he wasn't aware of.

Suddenly, his eyes opened from an unknown pain. It was as if someone was taking down walls inside of his body; his pores opened and he began sweating huge amounts of perspiration. The trembling continued for a few minutes before he managed to recover his mind. After focusing his will on his body, he immediately understood what was happening.

"Why the hell is the energy not traveling through my veins anymore!" he asked himself puzzled by the current situation. Another wave of pain traveled through his body, and Wind began trembling again as he felt a fiery burn pierce through his flesh.

"Arghh!", a muffled sound escaped from his gritted teeth. What he didn't know was that due to his body being close to Fell, the small amount of energy he had regrouped in his body and had begun preparing his meridian on his own. But he was completely oblivious to this fact as Fell hadn't explained anything on the energy system.

Fear appeared in his heart as he didn't know what was happening, and every few minutes, waves of pain would appear all over his body as the small energy string pierced through his flesh. Wind could only grit his teeth in this situation as his body seems to weaken every time he felt the piercing pain in his flesh. Under this state, he soon lost track of time and lost himself in a cycle of pain and recovery.

In the beginning, the waves came every few minutes before stopping. This gave him ample time to recover his breath and get ready for the next attack. But as Fell's breakthrough advanced on its own. The 'attack" rate went up gradually. From every few minutes to every minute, it soon turned into every few seconds.

Wind's pores opened every time the waves of pains appeared, and he soon didn't have any more perspiration to evacuate. But it didn't mean that the ejection stopped. As out of his shivering body, a strange mixture of darkened blood rushed out of his pores every time the energy string finished excavating a new energy tunnel.

Hopefully for him, although he felt physically and mentally feeble. He still felt that what was happening to him was befitting to a pie falling from the sky. Thus, he only gritted his teeth in patience and didn't try to stop the current situation. Thankfully he held his thought and continuing his attempt at forming meridians as it was an important step for cultivators, a step that couldn't be stopped as it would cut any further development.
