Standing alone in the middle of the dense forest, Ery was deep in thoughts, thinking what he should do from this point on. Shaking his head, he proceeded to make his way back to the rave. After the patriarch had left, he honestly also wanted to leave this place.
Alas, the mont he returned to the rave, he was caught by Brutus and the other acolytes and forced to join the party. Ery obviously wanted to refuse, but seeing there were so many people who wished to know him better and noticing the nurous eyes watching him, he could only reluctantly stay at the rave until the event finished. It wasn't good for him to offend these people, after all.
It wasn't until the sun rose on the horizon that people started leaving, signifying the end of the gathering. Pack by pack began to leave to their own ho, until there were only Chief Beowlf and his main pack at the area.
The academy acolytes left together, walking through the portal and returning to Zodiac City. After that, they split up and headed towards their own destinations.
The first thing Ery did when he arrived at the city was actually checking out the Bloodline Gene place ntioned by the patriarch. After scouring through the bustling streets of Zodiac City, crossing through countless alleys, he finally found the place.
It was a small place located in a shady corner of the city. Ery had quite a difficult ti to search for it as its location was quite remote. Fortunately, he found it.
Alas, Ery's happiness did not last long as a board seen in front of the place brought cold water over him. The words written on it caused his face to twitch.
'Leaving for 10 days. Will co back on the 10th. - Bob"
Checking out the date, Ery realized that he could only return here later, after his second 5 days elite class training. Knowing there was still ti in the future, he only sighed at his unluckiness and ca later.
At the mont, Ery still had 4 days to spend, before his second round of mandatory class began. So, he decided to go cultivate in the origin room, taking advantage of every second of his available ti.
After thinking for a while, Ery decided to start from the elent he was most confident with, the Plant elent.
That very sa day, he made his way to the Plant Institute,? Elder's Respite. Even though he had seen this massive tree quite a few tis, Ery was still overwheld by the magnificence and fleur it exuded.
When Ery went into the institute, he saw Magus Erica in the main hall. She was one of the plant elent instructors who was badly injured during the previous attack incident. He was glad to see her back to her forr self.
After saying a short greeting to the female magus, Ery went to the acolytes who handled the entry into the origin stone room.
Unexpectedly, the mont the acolyte knew he was an elite acolyte, Ery was offered to stay in the room overnight, which was completely different to when he was a regular acolyte restricted to only 12 hours a day.
This was another benefit of being an elite acolyte. They were given access to use the room fully, similarly to a magus. Of course, the privilege was only similar, not the sa.
Ery quickly asked the reasons behind such rules. Fortunately, the acolyte was kind enough to explain.
Apparently, the origin stone room was not recomnded to be used for an extended period of ti to those who had low talent. In the past, the academy found out that those people, who had low talent, would only receive detrintal results on their cultivation if they used the room too long.
Therefore, the academy made such rules to prevent unnecessary harm towards the acolytes and prevent wasting resources on those who could not use them properly.
After hearing the reasons, Ery imdiately ordered four straight days worth of access to the room, which totalled the staggering eight thousands contributions points.
[8.000 contribution points used]
[146.650 contribution points left]
Before he entered the familiar room, Ery checked his status again, to keep track and compare the improvent he would gain for the next four days.
[Ery Ambrose]
[Battle Power : 47]
[Spirit Force : 185]
[Plant Spirit – Mid-Foundation]
[Water Spirit – Mid-Foundation]
[Earth Spirit – Mid-Foundation]
[Spirit Core of Darkness – Stage 4]
[Fey Bloodline – Rank 3]
[Acolyte Rank: 7]
The next milestone he aid to reach was the rank 8, which ant he needed a total of 250 spirit force. Thanks to the B aptitude he had, Ery had prepared himself for the worst. This ti, he ca prepared.
He had two Spirit Foundation Pills in his hand. One he received as the reward for entering the elite class, while the other for successfully defeating the 10 third years acolytes in duel.
Making sure he was ready, Ery entered the room and walked towards the Origin Stone of Plant as close as he could. After reaching the point where he felt he couldn't advance anymore, he proceeded to sit cross-legged.
Ery took out one of the Spirit Foundation Pill out of his ring and swallowed the nail-size pill whole.
Imdiately after, he felt a rush of energy building up inside his body. Without wasting any more ti, Ery began to slowly channel it into his dark core, guiding it into the green-colored spirit elent. He used the rich energy coming from the pill to aim for a breakthrough in his cultivation.
As Ery was concentrating on the floating stone before him, illusions once again began to fill his mind. This ti, he found the illusion of being part of a forest to beco even more vivid than before. From the previous small leaf, Ery felt its growth until it grew into a huge tree.
…
[Spirit force increased]
[Spirit force increased]
[Spirit force increased]
[Spirit force increased]
The first two days of his marathon went on very smoothly as Ery's spirit force successfully increased by a total of 4 points. Indeed, the uninterrupted ditation did help make the cultivation result much more effective.
…
Third day.
[Spirit force increased]
Fourth day,
[Spirit force increased]
Unfortunately, Ery only got an increase of one point per day during the next two days. He wasn't sure if it was because of the weakening effect from the pill or just the side-effect of doing long duration ditation.
[Total Spirit Force : 191]
The mont his ti ended, Ery walked out of the origin stone room with a yawn. After all, it was tiring to continuously cultivate for four days. Later that day, he returned to his estate.
That night, as promised, he had planned to have a? eting with his five friends.
Julian, Thrax, Chumo and Klea, one by one, arrived at Ery's estate. From their current state, Ery assud they were all just returned from their own personal training.
The five friends shared their results of each of their training. One particular result that caught Ery's interest was Klea, who used her Spirit Foundation Pill during her cultivation in the lightning origin stone room. Coincidentally, she also used the room for four days in the row, the sa as him.
However, unlike his pitiful 6 point increase in spirit force, Klea gained three tis that, resulting in the downhearted Ery.
Klea's result further encouraged him to find a solution to his problem, not wallow in it. Otherwise, he would be left behind faster than he ever thought.
