"Dog Star? What is going on Infinite Star? And what does fitting Star mean?" Zayn was enraged by Infinite Star's taunting. He was extremely excited to absorb a Star Body, but then Infinite Star crushed his excitement. He began to laugh about the Star and called it the Dog Star.
"Don't worry. It's not that bad. Even though the Sirius Star is a low-level Star, it's still a major power increase for you. I only laughed because of how fitting the Dog Star is to you."
"What? Why the hell would you say that the Dog Star is fitting to me?!?"
"Relax. It's not because of its name. It's called the Sirius Star, but at some point, humans started to call it Dog Star. The name is truly insulting, but for me, it's just funny.
The reason, why I said it's fitting, is that the Sirius Star is the complete opposite of a Qi Cultivation Star. Sirius itself is trash in regards to the Qi Cultivation, just like you. Still, absorbing him should enhance your Qi talent... Just not that much!"
"Wow! What a waste of time. Is it still worth it to absorb it?"
"Worth it? Kid, I only told you that it's trash in regards to the Qi Cultivation. That doesn't mean it's generally trash. Trust me, you'll still experience major increasements."
Zayn was at first a bit disappointed by the Dog Star but through Infinite Star's reassurance and his Quest, he still, wanted to give it a try.
"All right! So, what's the next step of the plan? The Python Beast is still near the Star Body."
"Well, now the Thunder Fist comes into play. You just need to come close to the Python Beast and use your Thunder Fist at it. After that straight up jump into the Star Body."
"All rig- WAIT?!? This is your magnanimous plan?!? You told me that you had a way to neutralize the Python Beast! This is just hit and run!"
"Calm down! It's not simply that. The Thunder Fist is Martial Skill which utilizes Lightning. Lightning is a subclass of Light, which still harbors many attributes of the element of Light.
One of the attributes of this element is Order. And with the help of the attribute Order, you have the ability to restrict.
As Lightning is a subclass and your use of the Thunder Fist isn't the full might, the restriction won't last long.
But even a millisecond is long enough. You just need to use this to jump into the Star Body. The restriction just needs to slow down the reactions of the Python Beast, else it would be too fast and catch you instantly.
After being accepted by the Star Body, it'll protect you. The Orb of Qi will be placed around you and act as a shield."
Zayn, somehow, knew that Infinite Star had also an answer for that. His knowledge was truly vast and supreme in the cultivation world.
But still, Zayn always needed more information to assure himself, if he would do something risky.
"Oh and hit the Python Beast at its eye. That's its weak spot and only there will the Thunder Fist successfully restrict the Python Beast. Sneak towards there carefully and then launch your attack. Right at the instant after your attack, you need to jump to the Star Body. Don't use up much time, it needs to happen quickly!"
Zayn immediately began to sneak towards the Python Beast. Its enormous body was still terrifying, but Zayn trusted in Infinite Star's plan and ignored his growing fear.
Reaching the huge face of the Python Beast, Zayn didn't hesitate as he used his Thunder Fist on the Python Beast.
The usage of the True Thunder Fist was instantaneous, thanks to Zayn's growing expertise with Martial Skills in general.
*BIZZ*
The electrical sound exploded into the Python Beast's eyes, as the lightning traveled from its eyes towards all of his body. Resembling a cage of lightning.
In a flash, Zayn jumped towards the Star Body. His speed was thanks to his cultivation greatly increased.
And as in Infinite Star's calculation, the Python Beast was only stunned for a short time. Not even a second.
The attack enraged the Python beast and it immediately chased after Zayn.
As Zayn launched an attack and jumped, his Qi was now present. The method wasn't able to erase Zayn's Qi anymore.
Zayn was still flying towards the Star Body when he noticed a huge mouth opening behind him. It was right behind him.
But fortunately, he reached the Star Body right at that time. And passed inside the Orb of Qi.
The huge mouth of the Python Beast still chased after Zayn and engulfed the whole Star Body.
*SSSSS*
A loud shriek was heard after the engulfing of the Python Beast.
Zayn, inside of the Star Body, saw the Python Beast inner mouth, as it was burning through the Star Body.
The Python Beast retracted its huge mouth and continued to cry in pain.
Zayn was now safe. Inside the Star Body, he was still able to see the surrounding cave and the Python Beast. He was overjoyed at that moment. The plan worked. He was now inside the Star Body.
"Kid, what are you waiting for? Start to absorb the Star Body, as if you were cultivating!"
Without waiting much, Zayn started to absorb the Star Body.
When he first tapped into the Star Body's energy, Zayn's surrounding abruptly changed.
He didn't see the Python Beast or the cave anymore.
The space in which he was situated was dark but also glowing. He looked around himself and noticed many other stars far far away from his location.
He was in outer space. It looked really similar to what Zayn imagined the outer space to look like.
Dark, but also colorful.
"It's only your link to Sirius. The connection shows you its main bodies place. This isn't important, just concentrate on absorbing the Sirius Star."
Zayn was fascinated by that sight. It was truly beautiful and mesmerizing.
"KID!"
Zayn was still engrossed in the sight. It was too amazing to ignore it.
"KID!!!"
"Calm down! I'll get back to absorbing!"
.
Zayn was still immersed in absorbing the Star Body. His surroundings didn't change, it was still the outer space, completely throughout the absorbing. The Star Body started slowly shrinking in the process.
.
Hours flew by.
.
The Star Body shrunk and shrunk.
The Orb of Qi, around Zayn, maintained its size and continued to protect Zayn.
.
The Star Body was now, after hours, at Zayn's size. And right when it reached that size it began to shrink in an instant to a small ball, smaller than Zayn's hand.
It then started to enter Zayn's body. As it approached Zayn's body, his veins and his body began to glow up.
"ARGH!"
Zayn cried out in pain, as the Star Body continued to drill inside his body.
"Kid, endure the pain! Don't give up! You're nearly there!"
"ARGH!"
The drilling of the Star Body felt like if a burning metal ball was being held at Zayn.
"Don't pass out! You need to endure that! Only a few moments."
Zayn gnashed his teeth together and tried to endure the pain. He didn't know how long he had to endure that.
"Only a few moments, kid!"
Zayn continued to endure. Infinite Star constantly reminded Zayn that it was only a few moments left to endure.
.
With that many hours again passed.
.
Zayn completely endured all the pain, when the Star Body fully entered his body.
After that Zayn's body calmed down and diminished in glowing.
The Star Body was now inside his body and became a part of Zayn.
"Done!" Zayn was excited, after successfully absorbing the Star Body. He was overjoyed and wanted to see the changes in his strength and in his body.
"Not yet, kid."
Right, when Infinite Star told that, the Orb of Qi, around Zayn, were drawn instanously inside Zayn's body.
All of this pure Qi inside Zayn triggered him to automatically enter the Zero Heart Realm. He began to refine the Qi to enhance his cultivation.
The amount and pureness of the Qi far surpassed the Qi from the cultivation side.
But the surprising thing during Zayn's cultivation was that he didn't need as much time as he needed before, to refine all of this Qi.
Before, he needed five days to cultivate in the cultivation side, but now cultivating the whole Orb of Qi, which surpassed the cultivation side's Qi, only required Zayn to use a few hours.
Zayn felt his cultivation rising and rising. And then it stopped.
Zayn dropped down to the cave.
He clenched his fists together and felt his major upgrade.
Right after that, he noticed that the Python Beast should be still inside the cave. As the Orb of Qi and the Star Body was now absorbed by Zayn, the cave was now pitch dark.
"Infinite Star, what the hell am I supposed to do now? The Python Beast should be still close by. What's your plan now? Erasing my Qi, again?"
"What to do? Naturally, you need to kill it!"
