---------------------------------

Tobi stared at the multiple notifications with a look of surprise, delight, and then finally a bit of fear.

Though he was really happy with the reward from completing a hidden quest, but the upgrade from punishment for failure almost ruined his mood, even till now the b*stard System was still breathing on his neck.

What's more, he knew the system definitely wasn't bluffing, it was even possible the system might kill him on point and take him for another spin at reincarnation realm.

He was really confused about the concept of the system, and what it thinks of its host, maybe the system considered him nothing more than a host, just like a freaking parasite.

'It Turns out if I didn't subconsciously complete the hidden quest, the punishment wouldn't have been able to upgrade itself.

'Dammit! It seems like I definitely can't put all my hopes, on this damn thing.'

Tobi breathe in a sigh before the rewards from the brightened his moons again.

'Completing the hidden quest might not be so bad after all, since I even achieved Mana Sensitive in the process.

'Even with a created Sub-Technique?' He thought with a smile.

Tobi's days soon reassume, as it consisted of his meditation technique daily task and Sub Technique, as he began to have a steady flow of it all together with Mana Sensitive.

After discovering the system since arriving in this world, he had begun to grasp the basics of the meditation technique. As he practiced relentlessly.

With his constant practice, he felt himself gaining a deeper understanding of mana and his Mana core.

Tobi discovered that the amount of Mana in his stats doesn't correspond to the ones in his Mana core. It only corresponds to the amount of Mana he has access to in his core and could control.

He even felt he most likely had an unlimited amount of Mana in his core and would be able to control them with a constant increase in his Mana stat.

Also, after achieving Mana Sensitive he got to know that natural mana was just a formless uncongested gas, a world elemental energy in its complex natural form.

And making an elementary form of a general element consisted of various steps. First, one had to see the particular filament of elementary mana he wants control over, and then slowly feel its movement pattern with Mana Sensitive.

Then mix the elementary mana he was trying to manipulate, with the Mana emanated from his body. The last step which is the hardest is condensing it into an entity and then controlling it.

All this made Tobi's control increase, since natural mana had no physical form, he could only rely on his perception and Mana Sensitive.

And if he was to use his power without borrowing the elementary mana. That would make it more difficult, than manipulating the natural mana.

It also required much more focus, compared to his Mediation techniques. The clearer his perception and Mana Sensitive of action he wanted, the better the effect and result.

With his training progress sailing smoothly, he could clench his fist to conjure a wisp of earth magic. Though it would barely last a minute, it was still a sign of progress.

As Tobi's comprehension increased, so did his control. After a month(now a year), he felt confident enough that he could hear a 100meters(328ft) from himself, see in perfect clarity at night with 'Demon Eyes', which could shift between day and night.

Tobi could also slightly lift a wooden chair. Even though he could walk, and do all these things without instant tiring himself out, he still hadn't tried out most of his other abilities, skill, and techniques.

He would always be careful about doing everything, he discovered that his body physique exacted a ridiculous amount of strength for a baby.

After that, he shifted the whole focus of his night training on further control rather than accumulating attributes stats. His mana was very much limited, with just 15mana points.

So he preferred doing a few elaborate tricks perfectly, rather than doing something extravagant and elegant at the risk of shooting himself in the foot.

The only downside of all that training was that Tobi got hungry faster and fatigue. Luckily, his unique situation brought enough benefits to his stomach and body.

After getting a head start, Tobi now formed a free time that he had dedicated to practicing the Demon meditation technique and his Sub-Technique.

In this way, one could strengthen his body while the other one could increase the durability of the"mana core", which soon grew faster to the point of hitting a bottleneck.

Apparently, Tobi realize some of his theories might have been a miscalculation on his side, even though Sub-technique could strengthen his core, it wasn't to an indestructible level.

Which made him notice, both his body and Mana core weren't matured enough to hold an indefinite amount of strength and Mana, this made him realize that even with 100 free attributes points the system hadn't let him increase his stats points.

All these came down to malnourishment, since he was an abnormal growing child the food he needed, would obviously constantly increase as he grew.

Tobi had never realized these facts before, except from the system's constant notification putting restrictions on him, so he didn't notice that due to Tim limiting his meal, his baby body couldn't grow at the rapid pace it should be.

And now that it was rapidly growing, he had only spent so much time exploring his powers and the Mana core.

So, preciously, his body and power core had been creating a balance and developing together.

But after getting the system notification, he realized the balance had suddenly broken off, his Sub-Technique would make the system issue series of warnings.

Luckily, the system was there and he was still well-fed and as well developing fast, so despite not doing any physical body training his physique was constantly improving and transforming thanks to the system, which meant the bottleneck had more or less of a counter down that would be worn off soon.
