The rest of the night carried on happily as they ate, talked, and watched movies together as they cached up with one another. The night went on with none of them really noticing time passing. After a few movies in, they all ended up passing out on the couch....and floor.
A few hours later the sun rose and James woke up."mmmm....wa" Sitting up he looked around, finding everyone still passed out around the room. groaning he stood up, and went and got washed in the shower, during which the rest also woke up.
Going back downstairs he found everyone except Austin sitting up barely awake. James smiled before walking into the kitchen and cooking some eggs and pancakes with maple syrup on it, with a side of sausage. As he placed the plates down, everyone ran into the room drooling a lil at the smell. They all quickly downed the food, as James had a grin on his face not sure what to do at this point.
A few minutes later all the food he had made had been devoured. Giggling he walked out back and sat down, starting his cultivation. He had been stuck at his level 10 cultivation for a while, although it wasn't extremely important at the moment, it did increase his stats by a lot. He also wanted to do this due to only having one wing at the moment. Although he could fly, Having a second wing would greatly increase his capabilities with this. As he sat their eyes closed, breathing allowing energy to flow through his meridians and refining it, he allowed it to flow throughout his body to refine himself further. After a few hours passed he reached the peak stage of the 10th level.
Sadly he hadn't found out a way to breakthrough yet, but he decided to move on and practice his lightning. As he sat there he slowly twirled lightning around between his two hands. As he stared at the flickering light, he wondered what else he could use this as. He pondered this for a moment before remembering some concepts from novels he has read before, and anime. He could try channeling it through his body to ether buff him of maybe if he gets strong enough form armor out of it! He quickly tried to channel it into his body at first, only to shock himself and all over in pain.
"Agh! fuck that hurts..."
*bing*
*level 1 electric resistance gained*
'...son of-...whatever'
*Is something wrong?*
'...No.' Sitting up he stared at his hands before trying it once again although this time with more patience and trying to avoid pain if possible. And....he got shocked again. "AGH! wtf man...."
*Bing*
*level 4 electric resistance gained*
'*sigh* I'm going to have to endure this for while aren't I...'
*Yep :3*
'....'
A few hours of bings and screams latter,
*Bing*
*level 10 electric resistance gained, Normal lightning will no longer be able to cause noticeable harm to your body*
"FINALLY!" James didn't even remember to not yell as he was happy he had achieved some form of progress so that maybe he could do something with this. After calming himself he did it once again but this time he didn't get shocked by it. As he brought it up to his arms he stopped after casing his arms and shoulders in it.
*bing*
*lvl 1 lighting armor*
*increases your speed, Attack power, defense and you look cool*
'Great, now let's try to materialize it...' As he didn't have any experience with this he wasn't 100% sure about the process of this but he understood the general concept of what he should do. He focused on the lightning around his arms and started to try to force them together like fibers in cloth but with the strength of Iron. A few hours passed and he finally managed so "sew" his armor. The plating went up to a lil past his shoulders down all the way covering his hands and nails.
The appearance of the armor had draconic like scale plating to its design up the arm while its hands had claws to the end of the fingers which also had the draconic like look. The overall piece was azure with black spikes rising off it although they weren't large, probably an inch long.
*bing*
*level 2 lighting armor, congrats man*
'mm...Thanks' The armor dissipated and then James fell over feeling exhausted before passing out completely. James laid there passed out for a while before his brother found him and dragged him in on the couch. James stayed asleep for the rest of the night. During which everyone else trained on there own for the upcoming matches.
As the sun raised so did everyone else, although James didn't until around 10 am. As he did so he found himself on the couch and was slightly confused before moving on.
'Nessie, why did I faint suddenly?'
*All that work you did completely wiped out your mana reserves so you're body had to recover in order to get it back.
'I see, So that's how it is...' Getting up he looked at the calendar. Tomorrow was school again, which meant all the matches would resume... the rest must be out getting ready. Well, I might as well relax for the day, I don't want to overwork myself. James laid in the house for the rest of the day. Resting his body for the following challenges.
