Chapitre 98: Strange Mystery
Fell left the Endurance room with silent steps. He closed the door after him and chose a random spot in the hall of the floor where he sat in a lotus pose. His eyes closed as he began cycling skillfully cycling his Heaven and Earth Energy; strings of energy flew through his meridian as he absorbed energy from his pores.
Soon enough, his Energy Core, where the energy he refined went turned into a black hole absorbing all of the surrounding energy. His chest could be seen minutely rising before falling down. This simple act of respiration extended to over a minute and he soon seemed completely immobile.
"I've left my training of the three systems on a standpoint ever since I entered the Main District! Time to catch up", he thought as he refined all of the surrounding energy into the purest form he could achieve. Small flowing dots of light, similar to shiny pearls, were attracted to his body in such a way that Fell could be considered their magnet.
Time flowed under his meditative state, and soon an hour passed but he didn't move a single inch from his place and kept refining the surrounding energy. At this step, his body contained an extraordinary amount of energy for a first step cultivator, and he didn't even need to use his will to attract the Energy in his surroundings. The range of his absorption kept growing bigger before encompassing the building where he was.
At some point, his eyes suddenly opened, and a shiny spark rushed out of his iris. His hand flashed in front of his face as he took out several pills from his spatial pocket.
"Time to rush to the top of the Energy Condensation Steps!" he exclaimed while throwing the pills in his mouth as if they were candies. The moment the pill entered his mouth and touched his tongue, they immediately turned into a liquid that streamed through his throat rushing straight toward his stomach.
The fact that the quantity and density of Heaven and Earth energy that coursed through his meridian caused his body's attraction to energy to rush to the top. His range of absorption broke through his limit and kept growing as he turned into a black hole that consumed every particle of energy. From the building to the street close by, he soon obtained a range large enough to consume approximately ten percent of New Casablanca's main district's Heaven and Earth energy.
Several cultivators noticed the strangeness that was happening. The four noble families' Elders also took notice of the matter as they swiftly made contact with each other asking if it was their doing. Their hearts trembled when they confirmed that it wasn't one of them and that only meant one thing. Someone was trying to rush to the peak of the Energy System's first step, they swiftly entered closed-door cultivation as they knew that their hegemony might be contested if they lost their status as New Casablanca's strongest cultivator.
"Who can it be?!", the Golden Family's Elder asked himself as a youthful face flashed through his mind. Fear appeared in his heart as he knew that the individual he just thought about didn't have a clean relation with his family.
He washed the idea out of his mind as he took out the resource he had just traded with their guest. Thankfully he had managed to form a decent relationship with them, or else he might forever stay in the first realm. He thought as he popped an azure colored pellet in his mouth, before closing his eyes to focus on refining the energy that was contained in the medicine.
The three other Noble families were also actively using the resources they managed to trade with their families' guests in the hope of attaining another breakthrough. Normally they had an agreement between them not to rush through their cultivation, their common goal was for them to breakthroughs in a natural manner. But the abnormality they felt had scared them thus they decided that they couldn't wait anymore.
Fell was completely oblivious to what was happening. If he knew that his current cultivation session had forced the Noble Families' Elder into training, he would have understood much more on the Main District's situation. About their insecurities as individuals in the top of the cities' food chain. But he couldn't care less about their goals. As his goals weren't set on a small city like this one, ever since he saw the painting in Battle Center his mind had a clear goal.
