Chapter 50 - A scrawny creature

After drinking some water, Mady went back to meditation and did the energy cycle. Mady had a better understanding of many things about archery ever since she was enlightened with the Dao Tablet. For example, thanks to the technique she learned from her master, before she could do five times more damage by rotating the arrow with her spiritual power. However, speed of arrow wasn't changed much. After her enlightenment, the arrows were able to move five times faster as she was able to direct the energy of the air in the same way.

She was now stronger enough to hit her opponents with about 8 times more power. Another benefit of the Dao Tablet was that it accelerated the opening of the acupuncture points necessary for advancement in archery. There was only one month left, and Mady had already opened ninety-third acupoints. With the opened ninety-third points, her eyes shone with joy. It was impossible not to see the glimmer of intelligence in her eyes. Mady felt like she had butterflies in the stomach when she thought what level she could be when she opened the remaining six acupuncture points. The excitement, curiosity and desire she was feeling now were read from her eyes.

Mady spent three weeks across the tablet using the energy conversion method. It was only a week left when she left the world in quiver and returned to the room. Mady opened the ninety-fifth acupoint during this period. She continued to meditate without a break, absorbing the mana of the environment with all her might and directing the energy towards the acupuncture points. She managed to open the ninety eighth point on the last day of the week. Mady had little time left. Months turned into weeks, weeks into days, and eventually days into hours.

Mady who wanted to open the last point of acupuncture, was burning with an extremely stubborn and never giving up her desire. For a moment, a visible white energy emerged from the Dao Tablet and it entered Mady's body, and when Mady opened her eyes in panic, her 99th point was finally opened. By the time she finished her entire cycle, she felt like she had reached perfection. Her soul had been lost, an empty body all this time, and now her soul and body came together. It was as if she had found the missing piece while living like a jigsaw puzzle with a missing piece. Mady felt herself completed and everything seemed much clearer.

Mady recalled the soul formation technique of the energy conversion method, and in a few minutes the entire sea of mana merged and formed a block like a large reinforced concrete in the middle. But this concrete block was like a historical artifact of tens of thousands of years. The capacity of her dantan was starting to expand again. But the energy was not filling up fast enough to build a second block.

While Mady was trying to adapt to the soul formation she had just established, she noticed that the ratio of outside mana had decreased very much. Finding herself in the arena again, Mady stood up and looked at her opponent. Her opponent in the eighth test was someone whose soul formation had reached the highest level. *(1)**(2)*

Mady placed her arrow on the bow and stretched her bow. Her opponent was coming towards her quickly. Mady didn't have to look at her opponent to aim. The arrow moved with her thought. Her opponent felt his body freeze the moment the arrow was released. He was killed in just 355 milliseconds. Mady let out a light breath and turned her head to the entrance of the arena. The officers came with a smile.

"Congratulations! There is only one more test left." Then they handed a rare bow to her hand. Holding the bow in her hand, she found herself again in the waiting room. She could not connect when she sent the spiritual energy to the bow. "Ohh! I couldn't connect like that. This bow must really be on another level." After establishing the connection by drip blood, she contacted the bow again with the spiritual energy.

'Vigal's Bow. This bow was designed to be handed over to a warrior who would destroy Vigal's enemy. Vigal's request from you is to raise the bow to the level of the immortal weapon. He will meet with you after that.'

-After the bow is held at both ends, it is divided by the spiritual power and turns into 2 daggers. When the hilt of the two daggers is held in contact with each other, it turns into a bow again.

Mady almost fell in love with the bow in her hand. Mady found herself in the arena for the last time. There are five soul formation ninth-level opponents. Mady quickly sent her arrows, killing her opponents with one arrow each in less than two seconds. Testing was quite easy for Mady now. The officers came in front of Mady and knelt. A light flashed in the middle of the arena and the image of the God Vigal appeared. Unable to withstand the energy from Vigal, Mady knelt down. Her whole body wanted to worship him. Her body was out of control. She could not understand herself.

Vigal's clone looked at Mady with a smile and made a sign with his finger. At that moment, a midnight blue light appeared. In the center of the light a little spirit rotated. The spirit looked like an elf. He just sent the one-centimeter tall spirit towards Mady. Mady felt like her soul was going to explode out of her chest. After a few seconds, Mady was struggling on the floor. Vigal didn't really care about Mady's condition.

When Mady recovered, she realized that her soul remained the same and was not captured. 'I wonder if I can't even realize that I have changed. Why I am so weak against such uncertainties. The man is a god, but I don't want to worship him. Why does he put his energy on me and put pressure on me to worship him? Why is that! I just want to be free. I wanted to be a free, independent person who earns her own money and has a fun and extraordinary life. Why should the gods be interested in me?"

Vigal called out while Mady was contemplating herself. "Listen to me carefully, little girl. You've done this test for yourself as well as for me. Now I'm really going to send you somewhere. If you die you will really die. Take that necklace!" Vidal handed Mady a necklace with a dark green glow.

"The moment you send your spiritual power to this necklace, it will bring you back here from where you went. Your aim is to capture the tribal tablet of enlightenment. The only way to capture is to kill every guardian elf you see. With the blood and energy of these elves, a formation will be activated and then you will be able to capture the tablet. If you do, you'll only appear to have passed the Seventh test when you get out. Nobody will ask for anything from you. If you fail, you will appear to have passed Test 9 and will lose all your rare items."

"I can't give Rare items to those who fail, but I can give you a dao quiver. If you succeed, we will meet again when you are immortal." When Vigal finished his speech, he looked with interest towards the tattoo on Mady's chest. Mady felt a little awkward when she saw the god staring at her breasts. She wanted to prove the power of the woman once again to all the worlds by stretching her chest slightly and standing straight. 'That's it! Men! Even if you are God, you cannot give up between 2 hills. Hmph!'

Vidal did not know Mady's strange thoughts. Breaking the silence, "By the way, I will seal that medallion. There is a scrawny creature who wants to control you, even if you are under my wings now."

After some thought, Mady responded "He also wants me to be an immortal. Until then, he will not act against me. Why shouldn't you let me keep the medallion?"

Vigal knowingly nodded and acknowledged "If you pass the next fatal test, I'll not unseal the medallion and take you to Roulda. In a few months on the planet with immortal energy, you can reach dao descriptor level. But if you stay on such barren planets, it will take you much longer to grow."

"Come on, little girl. Show me how determined and talented you are."

*(1)* [Mady: Physical Power: 33.01 Agility: 41.81 Intelligence: 5.0]

*(2)* [Someone who has formed a soul formation with 90 acupuncture points and has risen to ninth level should have reached physical power around 26.49. Mady now had a total of 33.01 points of physical power. This was also the advantage of the coin. Agents could not only improve their soul energies, but they could also have mind and body enhancement techniques and other traits.]
