Kapitel 97: Autonomous absorption
But it was a ridiculous request. First of all the boy was twenty, there wasn't an age limit to begin by, but there was a time limit, his life span. The normal human life span was 70-100 years if they didn't die of unnatural causes. Depending on talent alone a person may never reach the silver stage where they would get another 50 years. In his world humans only lived around 200 years once they reached the golden stage. In comparison the normal Naga lifespan was 300 years and 500 once they reached the golden stage.
That was if they were training the effects of one Tantra alone. For every additional method Zhao Wei would want to learn was also additional time in order for that method to be effective. If he just stacked several methods without putting in enough time, it'd just be a collection of weak effects combined into one.
Additionally, the world's energy was thin. Even after 3 days of continuos absorption of world energy Zhao Wei's Tantra progressed very little. It might just be the situation around Dracas but they didn't really know the situation outside either. If he had to train several different methods even after a year the effects still wouldn't be enough to be any help in battle.
But Guru did think of something that might potentially be effective. Zhao Wei himself was actually getting better in his spar by leaps and bounds. Before Zhao Wei had used weapons simply because he was too weak and frightened without them. But they limited him mostly because he wasn't used to any of them.
When Guru forced him to stop using weapons and face all the trainings with hand to hand combat he was struggling a lot less as it was completely freeing for him. When he was using the staff he had trouble even catching one hit. But with his hands and feet he could still block or dodge at least three moves before he was sent into the air again.
Several times Guru had brought weapons from the armory to test him with it only to find that he was equally shitty in all of them. It wasn't like he couldn't use them, but he didn't cater to any of their specific traits and intricacies. All of them might as well have been a club in his hands.
Although, he had a better handle on longer weapons probably due to prolonged use of the spears and the staff and had a proficiency for slashing and hacking weapons like his tooth blade.
At night he practiced his breathing technique, like his charging of the Trap Molds he was trying to make it a continuous process. Even he knew that if the energy of the place he was in right now was extremely thin. If he only spent a few hours a day absorbing energy he'd be old before he got anywhere.
At this point his mind was already split into 3 functions which was charging his Wrap Trap and Bite Trap as well as doing his normal everyday functions. He had way more Wrap Traps as they were faster to charge, so he stopped charging the Wrap Traps and focused on only the Bite Traps.
Instantly it was like 10 kg of weight was dropped down in his head. If he put all his focus in one area who knows what he could become, but now was not the time. He needed to make the absorption of world energy replace the function of charging Wrap Traps. Originally he wanted to add it in so he could focus on four things at once, but unlike charging which felt more natural to him, trying to absorb the world energy hadn't become second nature yet and was still quite unstable.
When he tried to do it all together, every time the absorption failed the relapse in his mind would break focus from all four activities. So for now he would try to stabilize this process before attempting to multitask all four things at once.

After 4 days of training, Guru came a little late one morning. Zhao Wei had noticed that after he'd shown his Tantra that even though he was still training him well, Guru's mind was somewhere else. And today he knew why.
Guru had brought with him another Tantra flow chart, but this time it was for Nagas. Guru wanted him to train in this breathing technique as well for some reason. In his mind Guru had been searching for any Tantra techniques he could test on Zhao Wei, but most of his were meant for Naga. Finally he decided on one where the charging of vessels and meridians focused mostly around the Naga's upper torso where they were mostly similar to humans and very little on the tail.
This was a rare type of Tantra but was deemed completely useless. The colour would be dull grey and the effects were that the person with this Tantra could have an extremely flexible body. For Naga whose lower bodies were already that of a snake's this specific trait only helped their upper bodies and didn't do much beyond making their fighting style a little more peculiar.
Hence any who had this Tantra was considered a waste. After all, the term rare didn't always mean good. But that was if it was alone. An extremely flexible body wasn't the best effect, but with Zhao Wei's fighting style and original Tantra effect, it could act as a supplement for him and cover him in an aspect that every human was always lacking in comparison to Naga warriors. Besides that, this was the safest method he could find.
