Inner universe (Part-2)

After three hours, Santaka and Nilam were completely mentally exhausted and observing Jay, who was still going on with his energy manipulation training, when he finally stopped to take a break.

The energy manipulation training for beginners like them is not only physically exhausting but also mentally exhausting due to the high demands on concentration.

But still, they can't understand what's up with the condition of Chandraka, who had not moved from his spot from the start.

Causing them to become concerned.

"Brother Chandraka!" shouted the three in union, yet they didn't receive any response and glimpsed at Inga.

"Don't worry. He is alright just in a state of Inner concentration with his senses completely disconnected from the outside world and maintaining his willpower to remain in the state for so long without losing his concentration. He is really pushing himself to his limits." said Igna in a deep voice with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He is well aware about the condition of Chandraka and his body.

"He probably wants to enter the ranked warrior stage as soon as possible but the cultivation method he has created is not an easy one. Taking one body as the foundation of the universe, with bone marrow being the essence, veins as an energy-flowing river, and cells being building the foundation of the world. Such a crazy method; maybe this can help us to finally break through the barrier of the deity stage, ''Thought Inga with his understanding of the technique as his eyes fell on the notebook in his hand and he kept it away.

Standing up, he waved his right hand and released a ray of green light, which hit the three of them.

Causing them to moan in pleasure and feel strength returning to their exhausted body with clarity of mind.

Opening their eyes, they were shocked and observed their bodies, which had reversed back to their energized state.

"Nilam and Santaka, you two can go back now. You guys must have learned about your current limits of body and mind. In the future, I will like for you two to improve and last longer. So make sure to revise what you have learned today after returning to your house. As for Jay, go to the Grand Library and get the Inner energy cultivation method I have told you about by tonight and start cultivating it. Night time is the most suitable duration for cultivating it."

"Yes, Teacher." responded the three in union, and they looked at Chandraka for the last time before they left.

While Inga stood there and looked at him without disturbing his concentration. Though he can also do what he had done with the other three and help him recover quickly from his exhausted state, I will break his concentration. So, he can only wait for him to get out of this state himself and make sure of his safety.

"What a troublesome fellow, just like his father and grandfather. All of them have been stubborn and one minded men who will not stop until they complete the task they have set for themselves. It looks like he will not stop before he completely refines his bone marrow and essences today." thought Igna with a smile.

"But I like this kind of stubborn person."

On the other side,

Nilam and Santaka were walking side by side alone chatting among themselves after getting separated from Jay.

"Santaka, I did not think that you would become a dual cultivator with this serious face of yours," said Nilam with a curious graze.

She had known Santaka for five years and first met him in a martial competition organized by the royal family. She knows that he is from a family of warriors that had been in decline for the last half century after the death of the old head, who was a half-step grand martial stage expert, while his father is suffering from hidden injuries that he received during the battle against the sea monsters twenty years ago, causing his cultivation to halt at mid-master stage.

The next moment, a beeping sound comes from Santaka's body, and with a quick speed, he opens the message box.

"Hmm... I just didn't think that she would respond so fast" responded Santaka with a look of astonishment.

Seeing his face. She really wants to take a look at the mail he has received.

"What happened?" asked Nilam with curiosity.

"I just received an email from the girl whose professor had recommended and accepted her to become my cultivation partner."

"Good for you, Santaka. You are entering the university, and you have already started making bonds with other students." Santaka raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

"But what about you, Nilam? Don't you have an interest in Chandraka?"

"Huh? When did you get such an impression?"

"You are still denying. It came to my attention that whenever you look directly at him, your eyes are full of curiosity and will shyly fall down when he looks at you, or you will avoid eye contact with him. What can I make out of it aside from feeling that you like him?" said Santaka with a teasing tone.

"It's not like that? I am just curious about him due to the mist of mystery around him, and I want to stop my thirst for this curiosity until and unless I am not able to find all the truth about him. This thirst will not stop."

She doesn't know that he is becoming more and more convinced that she has fallen for Chandraka with the tone of shyness and the eagerness in her voice while she talks about Chandraka.

"This girl's heart is gone, and she is still trying to deny it." muttered Santaka while glimpsing at her when he suddenly felt someone looking at him from behind. He turned around in alertness and found a shadow of a girl around the corner of one of the training ground buildings, which disappeared the next moment.

Causing a mystery glow to flash through his eyes.

"What happened?" asked Nilam in shock due to his sudden and unusual behavior.

"It was nothing. It seems I am overreacting to something these days."

When a beeping sound comes from his wrist band, causing him to become nervous all of a sudden.

"What is this sound?" asked Nilam.

"Nothing, just an alarm that I have set to meet with the girl I was talking about. It seems I need to go now," said Santaka as he said his goodbye without listening to her response.

Seeing as he disappeared before her eyes. She could only sigh and walk back alone towards her house.
