"Don't tell me that my spiritual energy turned into dark energy?"
He immediately poked the sword to the wall of the cave. The wall started to corrode. Seeing this, he immediately put down his sword. But the sword in his hand also corroded and broke down.
"Indeed, as I thought. It is dark energy."
"But why is it so strong? The dark energy that I felt in the lecture hall was not so corrosive. Let's try to control it."
He used a little bit of his spiritual power on top of his right finger. The finger slowly turned black and he poked it on the table. The poked part corroded just with a touch.
"Even a little bit of my dark energy can corrode this. I was always having doubts about my spiritual energy. It looks like the quality of my energy is much better than others. Even flames from the flameape couldn't hurt me when I used my spiritual energy back then."
"But can I turn back my dark energy to normal?"
Thinking about this, he again started to generate spiritual energy in his fingers. The finger slowly turned to white this time. But there was a little bit more silver mixed into it.
"So, it looks like the higher I level up, the stronger my spiritual energy becomes. Not only this, but this spiritual energy looks like it can transform into any form of energy. It might be able to replicate fire, water, earth, and many others too. Sheesh...."
"It is really unbelievable."
"Oh, I forgot to check the strength of my physical body. I just broke the sword."
He took out another sword that he had seen in the green ring. He poured his spiritual energy into the sword in his left hand and swiped the other hand.
He didn't feel any pain and when he opened his hand, only a faint white scratch was there, which soon disappeared.
Davion smiled, "The Body Tempering Art could not have made my body this strong. This technique only draws dark elementary particles from the surroundings to stimulate your body. But I used my strong spiritual energy instead."
"If I want to use my dark energy, then normal swords won't be able to handle it. Looks like I can only look for the spiritual artifacts. This sect is too poor to afford one. So, I can only go to either Dark Moon City or Lilium City near the sect. I should go when I have time. I should rest now."
The next morning,
Same as yesterday, Davion wearing his same white robes came to the Lecture Hall. There he saw both Isla and Hendrix with other disciples.
Seeing Davion coming, Isla waved her hand and scrutinized him from top to bottom, and finally said, "Junior brother, why do you look more handsome and different today?"
Hendrix was also a little puzzled but he acted like he didn't care about it. But deep down he was also a little curious.
Davion smiled, "I always looked handsome. I don't remember looking different than yesterday. Hehe.."
"You guys can come."
While they were talking a calm voice came from inside and the door opened.
They all bowed in unison and sat down in their mats as usual. Thaddeus waited for a couple of minutes and saw that even more disciples had left. There were only about ten disciples in the lecture hall. He turned blind eye to this and started his lecture as usual.
He started explaining about the important points in cultivation and as usual, he tapped his finger on the desk and black smoke containing dark elemental particles started to fill the room.
Then they all started to close their eyes and started to meditate.
"I have already got the art for body tempering. Also, the Qi refining manual will be useless to me, as I already possess Dark Energy. So, the only thing that can interest me in this sect is the library and the Hall where immortal exercises are kept. That Hall is guarded by an elder. So, the only thing I can do now is, try to show my talent and win the favor of the Sect Master." Davion pondered.
He closed his eyes and did the movement of breathing technique of the Body tempering art. But this time he used some part of his dark energy in his body and tried to attract those dark element particles from the surrounding. If he had used all those energies then everything here would have been chaotic.
While everyone was cultivating, they suddenly found out that many of the dark particles started to flow away from them in another direction.
So, everyone opened their eyes and saw that above Davion was a large number of dark particles. He was doing the usual Body Tempering Art but was attracting and breathing more dark particles.
Seeing this, Thaddeus was also shocked. Nobody could breathe that much as a disciple who had just started cultivating. So, he got suspicious and used his senses to check on Davion. But he couldn't find anything unusual.
"Strange...I thought that he had a very poor talent. He couldn't even breathe a single particle yesterday. But how could he do this so easily now?"
"Is he a spy from another sect? But it doesn't look possible as he came from the Southern Mainland. I was thinking about giving the secret art of this sect to Hendrix before the Conference begins. It looks like I need to wait a bit more."
