Practicing continuously without a sense of time, even after leaving the practice space, Ethan was in a daze for a while before realizing what he had been doing.
In the practice space, he relied on his strong will to overcome emptiness and loneliness, but that didn't mean he had become accustomed to them.
On the contrary, having experienced seemingly endless emptiness and loneliness, he cherished the breath of life even more now.
"It seems my mind is still not strong enough if I can become sad and sentimental," Ethan suddenly laughed at himself, taking a deep breath and adjusting his mindset.
Sentimentality wasn't his style.
Indeed, his time in the practice space brought him many insights, but they were merely feelings. His primary goal was to become stronger.
Setting aside unnecessary emotions, Ethan quickly adjusted his mentality and began to assess the gains from his practice.
The results were significant.
Despite the mental and spiritual toll, experiencing the equivalent of a hundred days of practice in the outside world, and perhaps even more effectively, led to substantial growth in his strength.
Not only did he develop the Thread Fruit ability, but he also improved physically and mentally.
Using Devil Fruit powers consumes physical energy, so Ethan didn't neglect physical training while developing the Thread Fruit.
Especially since he is an Enhancer.
In addition to basic physical exercise, the continuous circulation and nourishment of mind energy significantly enhanced physical growth.
Additionally, his Nen, or mind energy, grew considerably.
This included various applications of mind energy, as well as the basic quantity of it.
In the practice space, the body was immune to negative influences, including mind energy, allowing him to use and deplete it freely.
By repeatedly exhausting his mind energy through 'training' and then quickly recovering thanks to the practice space's immunity, Ethan thoroughly developed cellular life energy, significantly increasing his potential energy.
There was also the display of energy.
If the body is likened to a water tank, then potential energy is the amount of water in the tank, and displayed energy is the amount that can be drawn at once.
Holding a small bowl, you can only take out a small amount of water, but with a larger bowl, you can extract much more.
The size of this bowl depends on a person's spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy is more intangible and immaterial than life energy, yet it is very real.
Emotions such as anger, sadness, pain, and fear affect the performance of mind energy because they cause fluctuations in spiritual energy.
For instance, anger can temporarily boost spiritual energy, leading to a surge in displayed energy.
Conversely, emotions like sadness and fear weaken spiritual energy, resulting in decreased displayed energy.
There is no exact method for exercising spiritual energy; it is often enhanced through fighting or rigorous practice.
Although Ethan didn't engage in fighting in the practice space, he practiced intensely.
Most importantly, he underwent extreme spiritual training.
Willpower is a force belonging to the spirit. A person with strong willpower also possesses a robust spirit.
Therefore, Ethan's progress in displayed energy was particularly impressive, even surpassing the growth in potential energy.
The more potent the displayed energy, the more effectively one can utilize mind energy.
Especially since Ethan is an Enhancer Nen user.
In terms of enhancing attack and defense through mind energy, Ethan has made significant progress compared to before using the [Hundred Times Practice Card].
"There are less than five days left..."
After assessing his growth, Ethan thought about his upcoming fight with Hisoka. He felt no nervousness, only anticipation and a strong fighting will.
Lisa slept until it was dark before waking up.
After taking out food from the [Storage Space], Ethan and Lisa chatted while eating at the cave entrance.
The food was purchased by Ethan on the airship at the end of the second exam, intended as emergency supplies.
Furthermore, food stored in the [Storage Space] remains fresh, appearing as if freshly cooked when retrieved, still steaming.
"It turns out such a training environment is indeed a great test of willpower. No wonder you've undergone such a big change."
During their chat, Ethan described the practice space to Lisa, who was deeply moved by the concept.
Although she hadn't experienced it herself, imagining practicing for a hundred days in an environment without a clear sense of time, vast and empty, made her feel a bit uneasy.
She had trained in harsh environments before, but at least she had a sense of time and knew how long she had been practicing.
This alone can relieve spiritual loneliness to a great extent.
"It's tough, but the effect is truly remarkable. If I had such an opportunity again, I would seize it without hesitation."
As Ethan spoke, he finished the roast suckling pig in his hand in just a few bites.
The stronger the body, the greater the consumption, or perhaps just a better appetite.
With Ethan's current physique, he's naturally a big eater, which is why he prepared a large amount of food in the [Storage Space].
"What you said makes me want to try it. I wonder if there will be rewards for multiple people practicing together. That would be even better," Lisa said with interest, quickly finishing off a roast chicken.
"In my dreams. I'd be satisfied if I could have such a reward again."
"Can't you think about it?"
Lisa rolled her eyes at Ethan's comment.
