Chapter 10 - CHAPTER 9: PROGRESS

The child did not get up like every day the next morning, but slept longer and only woke up in the afternoon.

The sensation that the boy had when he woke up reminded him a lot of the moment in which he woke up for the first time in this world, so for a moment he thought that everything he had experienced was just a dream, that until the clarity came to him by complete to your mind.

"*Sigh*, yesterday's experience was the most painful I've ever experienced in my lif ... don't wait, 2 lives..."

Recalling the events of yesterday, the boy shuddered, but quickly pushed those thoughts out of his mind and focused on his main goal: cultivating to quickly reach the 4th level of refinement of the body.

Thus, the boy sat cross-legged in his usual corner of the room to continue his cultivation, and it was at this moment that the boy realized the changes his body underwent, not only did he feel lighter and stronger, but also his cultivation speed was at least twice as fast as it had been the day before.

"Wow this feels amazing, although I don't have a place here to test my strength, it should at least be triple as strong as yesterday, not to mention my current cultivation speed, and… wait, what the heck!"

As the boy reflected on the changes his body underwent, he realized that what improved the most was his eyesight, even though he did not have bad vision before, the sensation he got now reminded him of the moment in which in his world Previously he used lenses for the first time, it was like seeing the world in 4K HD, everything looked much more colorful, plus he could adjust his vision to focus on certain places, like using a camera and zooming.

"Gods, I practically have cameras in my eyes, besides now that I think about it, yesterday I didn't turn on any lights, did I? So…, don't tell me I also have night vision now?"

Thinking about it, the boy became excited, being able to see in the dark could offer him many advantages once he goes outside.

"Hahahaha, if these are the benefits, then all the pain yesterday was completely worth it, not only is my hope reaching the other children my age more and more within my reach, but now I also have a slight advantage for nights and dark places, this is great!"

The boy was very excited, but he calmed down shortly after, in this world, that one obtained one or another peculiarity was not at all strange, perhaps in his previous world it could be extraordinary, but here, in Kunlun, strange things happened often, so it was better to calm down and cultivate calmly, after all, only strength is the boss in this new world.

"Alright, cheers aside, I still have to consider the matter of why I experienced the situation yesterday, if it wasn't because of my cultivation manual, then it can only be because of my bloodline right?"

With bloodline, the child did not refer to that of the Aegis family, since it was stolen from him at birth, according to his past self, he had another bloodline, the problem was that he still had to wake her up and to make matters worse, her past self-left no clue about it.

"I had read that some very pure bloodlines can bring about a spiritual cleansing at a certain stage of cultivation, and the sooner it is, the stronger and more extraordinary it will be upon awakening, so, following that line of thought, I underwent a spiritual cleansing. I barely entered the first level of refinement of the body, so I wonder what kind of power this bloodline will grant me once I wake up."

The boy thought deeply about it, because he lost his bloodline, the boy had read and searched a lot of information about bloodlines, so he had learned about the classification established in Kunlun that they were divided into four:

Those of low rank are the mixed or third level bloodlines, they are very low in purity and generally the power they grant is very unstable, and they are the most common in Kunlun.

The 2nd and 1st level bloodlines, as is obvious, differ in their purity, in addition to the fact that they grant a more stable and lasting power and that the people who possess them are well regarded and trained by the different organizations of culture.

And finally there are the royal bloodlines, which are very rare, grant great power, in addition the birth of one of them in a bloodline family is very celebrated, since generally in the future they will become pillars of the family.

Now, it is royal-class bloodlines that can allow their possessor to experience spiritual cleansing at some point in their cultivation and the earlier it happens, the more potential that bloodline will have.

This is why the boy was excited and intrigued, everything indicated that the spiritual cleansing he experienced was due to his bloodline, which would mean that he should be of a royal class, too bad he could not wake her up and activate it.

"Maybe I should prioritize finding a way to activate my bloodline when I go abroad, but for now, to cultivate."

The boy decided that he should focus on what was available to him, so he put aside all his thoughts about bloodline and focused on reaching the 4th level of refinement of the body so that he could practice with the arts of the sword and saber.

And so the monotonous life of the boy began, on the 2nd day of his cultivation he reached the 2nd level of refinement of the body, which to his relief, he did not experience anything strange, so he rested a bit before continuing, on the 4th day, the day of his birthday, he reached the 3rd level of refinement of the body, but did not stop and decided to move on, immersing himself in cultivating wholeheartedly, only stopping to sleep a few hours, to play a child in the yard and avoid that the person who watches it does not suspect anything or to eat the food that the maids left in the living room, although from time to time he would stop by the library to see how the librarian was, only to leave disappointed.

It was only on the seventh day since he started cultivating that the boy stopped, got up and stretched, before heading to the room next to his, which was much larger.

The boy had moved almost all the things in the room leaving it almost empty, he had done it with the purpose of being able to train a little with his body, which became stronger with each passing day.

Although the boy in his past life had never practiced any martial discipline, he had seen roughly what they practiced and decided to imitate what he remembered about it, little by little it became a habit and it helped him calm his mind.

"*Sigh*, it took me 7 days to reach the top of the 3rd level of refinement of the body, just one step away from the 4th level that I set out to do, although it is somewhat slow, once I advance to the next level, I will be able to start practicing with the arts of the sword and saber."

Thinking about the arts of the sword and saber, the child could not help but get excited, in his previous life, since childhood, he was always interested in swords and sabers, a pity that he never had the opportunity to wield one, so he did not know which one. of these 2 weapons he had a greater affinity, so now that he had the opportunity, his emotion was very evident.

It was for this reason that the child decided not to advance to the 4th level, but stayed half a step away from it, since, on the one hand, he wanted to have a very good mental state when breaking up and, on the other hand, he knew that the 4th level would be different from the previous ones, since now it should store the spiritual qi in its meridians, meridians that, by the way, due to the circulation of the spiritual qi and its "little" incident on the 1st level, had been widened and strengthened , thanks to this there should be no problem for your advance.

The child did not stay long in the adjoining room, he trained a little in it and then went to his room to rest, he knew that the advance to the intermediate stage of the level of refinement of the body marked a before and after, so decided to rest early.

"Tomorrow I will reach the 4th level, so, to avoid any problems, I better be in my maximum state, so it is time to sleep."

While a cultivator could go many days without sleep, this was only fulfilled in the higher stages, in the case of the child, he would still have to sleep to regain his optimal mental condition.

The next morning, the boy got up early, stretched a little before sitting cross-legged, his mind was rested and serene due to the good sleep the night before, so he decided to start.

"According to the manual, the path from now on consists of storing the spiritual qi in my meridians, also following a specific order, well, I guess the time has come to start."

Without wasting time, the boy once again began to draw the spiritual qi into his body, as he had already done this process countless times, it was no problem for him, so he continued to circulate the spiritual qi completing the cycle.

At this point, the sensation he was experiencing was practically the same as when he tried to advance to the 1st level, the saturated body and the barrier that prevented him from advancing were unmistakable of an imminent advance, the biggest difference was that, this time, that barrier was felt much tougher and difficult to get through.

"Well now the most crucial step, I must start storing the spiritual qi in my meridians, otherwise that barrier will be impossible to cross."

Basically, the idea behind was to store the spiritual qi in one's body, thus the amount of spiritual qi available to use would be much greater, so breaking down that barrier would be much easier.

Well that was in theory, the reality was much more difficult, in itself, trying to store spiritual qi in the meridians was dangerous, any mistake could break them, leaving him crippled, so, in Kunlun, many families used different resources to strengthen the meridians of his juniors and thus reduce the risk much more, unfortunately, the child could only rely on himself for this step.

Therefore, the boy focused and was very careful when storing this spiritual qi, he did not hurry and gradually filled his meridians in the order established in the manual.

So the hours passed, and by the time he finished filling the last one, his entire body felt swollen to burst, he could barely contain so much spiritual qi in his body, so, with the last of his concentration, he began to circulate his spiritual qi. at full power, causing the barrier that prevented him from advancing to break easily.

"At last, 4th level of body refinement!"
