Days later, Bren woke up with an ache all over his body.
"Aghh" Bren tried to sit up but felt pain whilst doing so.
"Crap, I don't have food" Bren was worried by the fact that he is injured and is running low on food.
Bren then pushed himself and stands up while feeling the pain the skill {Life Drain} inflicted on him.
The overwhelming shine of the sun made Bren squint his eyes, whilst the hissing of the cicadas annoyed Bren.
"Tch, noisy cicadas"Said Bren
Bren who was in a weak state, started his hunt for food.
13 minutes later, Bren found an Edible Monster.
Quick Explanation: There are Inedible Monsters as well.
Bren held out his hands towards the monster, before he stuck his grip in the monster's butt.
The monster of course resisted but failed, due to Bren's {Life Drain} having a weakening effect.
After Bren sucked out all the remaining life force the monster had, he carried it back to the cave he sheltered in.
Bren then took out the flint and steel he had and started to lit the wood.
1 hour later
Bren finished eating and had regained the depleted energy he lost.
" 'Sighs, What?!? Im breaking through?" Bren then felt his Soul Core tightening. He then immediately positioned himself into a comfortable position.
Bren exhaled air before tightening his muscles and proceeded to Gather Chi.
In the middle of his Breakthrough, a Black Miasmatic Smoke Engulfed him and started to enter his body.
"Ahh!!" Pain ran through his body
"What the f*ck is this?!?" Bren who was Breakingthrough, made sure to prepare for instances like this.
"Circulate it!!, Distribute it E-evenly" Bren then circulated his Chi around his body making space for the Black Miasmatic Smoke.
Bren succeeded and had broken through Chi Gathering Period, which made him a 13 years old Warrior Period Cultivator.
He then clenched his fist in hope "No matter what...Nothing can drag me down" Said Bren passionately.
Bren stayed and sheltered in the cave for weeks.
After weeks of rest. Bren had finally decided to continue his journey of Cultivation.
"It's Time...."
