章 204: Breaking through

'Just… huff… a bit… huff… more…'

Alex sat in the same meditative position, sweat covering every nook and crevice of his body.

It had been an hour since he had started practising his Heart of the Phoenix technique, a drastic improvement since the first time he had learned it.

And now, he was nearing in on breaking through to stage 1.

He had already moved the chaotic energy from his head down to his neck, and now all he had to do was move all of the accumulated energy in his neck down to his heart, and then the breakthrough should be completed.

On the side, Mira was still watching intently, like she had been doing the whole time, waiting to see if Alex made any slip ups.

She was hoping he wouldn't, but he had already gotten past the most concerning part of moving the energy away from his brain, so the likelihood of turning into a vegetable was drastically weakened.

But it was still a small possibility, so she stayed focused.
