"AAAAAAAAA!"
Keisuke woke up in cold sweat, having woken up by a nightmare
"What the fuck! Why a nightmare all of a sudden!"
In the nightmare Kei was being chased by crazy strong monsters, thankfully he woke up right before he was eaten alive
"Bbrbrbrbr I need to get stronger, damn. How long has it been since I last slept? I haven't been sleeping properly since I became a cultivator, instead I practice my cultivation technique every night. Maybe that's a little unhealthy, but, why did I become so sleepy all of a sudden?"
[Notice: Making pills takes soul power, you simply depleted it, so you had the urge to sleep, being tired. Also while strong cultivators don't need sleep thanks to their cultivation/breathing technique, getting a night's rest once in a while won't do harm]
"I see, thank you system, ahh, I guess I have 19 more days to properly train now or 20 if you count today. System, let's see what 10 days of practice has done to my Techniques, status"
[Keishuke Fujima
.
Foundation establishment peak stage
.
.
Techniques:
True Breathing technique, breathe the universe 8 star (up to 10)
Soul expansion technique 4 star (up to 10)
Basic Breathing technique 4 star
Basic fist technique 6 star
Eclipse steps 7 star (up to 10)
Silent Moon sword technique 7 star (up to 10)]
"Wow, look at all those numbers, surely they mean something, system explain."
[They represent your proficiency in said technique, basically once you reach 10 star you have complete understanding over the technique. The More understanding the stronger the technique gets. This is just a representation, basically the better you get in a technique the more the stars rise]
"Hmm hmm, good explanation, now then, time to break through, I finally have Qi pills, I'll break through in a jiffy, but I'll keep two or three cobolt Qi pills in case I need to replenish my Qi in case of a dangerous situation"
'Now then, where should I break through? I'll need a secluded space where no one will disturb me...'
"Well, no place like here"
Kei felt too bothered to look for a safe place to breakthrough, thuss
Kei decided to use the guest room as a place to break through
~gulp~
And devoured his first pill
'in order to breakthrough to martial body, I'll obviously need to strengthen my body, Martial body is about Joints and Marrow. I need to nourish my marrows, temper my joints and finally my bones. Damn cultivation is so cool'
Qi starts burning up inside Kei and he starts the process of nourishing and tempering his Marrow
*4 hours latter
~gulp~
'Damn, this is the last cobolt pill, thankfully I still have the other monsters Qi pills and I think this cobolt pill will be enough for my Marrows'
Qi swirls around Kei as he came close to finishing his Marrow nourishing
'Oh shit! I forgot! After every major breakthrough I have to defend against heavenly tribulations...'
Kei started tearing up but he already was so close to finishing his breakthrough, he could only think of grabbing his sword and defending against the lightning like that
' well, I guess I'll get on with the breakthrough'
Kei focused on his marrows with his Qi and finally the Air around him once again started swirling violently, knocking down decorations in the guest room
Finally all the turbulent winds slowly condenced towards Kei and when they came close, they finally disperse knocking down even more decorations
Kei's Marrows were finally nourished
"This is a refreshing feeling, cheers to another successful breakthrough"
[Congratulations on reaching Martial body low stage]
Suddenly Kei felt Qi Gathering outside above him
"Damn it! I forgot again! Damn you 80HD!"
Kei quickly headed outside, the guest room was destroyed enough already, Kei didn't want to destroy it any more than this
'I'm sorry Akira I didn't think my cultivation would cause so much damage to the room, anyways. Time to fight some lightning'
Kei unsheathed his sword as he went outside and got ready to defend
And as if it had waited for him, divine lightning finally showered down upon Keisuke
"This time I'm a little prepared!"
Kei poured his Qi into the sword and used The silent moon sword technique to defend against the lightning
The lightning had a cyan hue, as it hit the sword it shined bright like a diamond, it was almost bright enough to blind Kei
" AAAAAAAAA! take this you bastard! full power silent moon technique!"
Kei easily defended against the lightning, receiving close to no damage
But as he looked up, he instinctively knew it wasn't the end, Kei still felt Qi
"God fucking damn it."
They say that lightning never strikes twice, but that's a myth
Lightning Fell once again, even stronger than before, the Heavens' rule is relentless
~lightning~
"Again! SILENT MOON SECOND FORM!"
As lightning fell stronger than before, Kei couldn't help but be a little frightened
'EXCITING!'
Again Kei defended against the lightning with his sword
This time it lightly scorched his palms
"Damn it, I think there is one more."
Like clockwork the heavenly tribulation took a little more time to gather all its strength
"Hahaha you fucking bastard."
Kei readied up and gave it his all to defend against the tribulation, Kei put almost 70% of his Qi into this final attack/defence
~lighting~
"Silent Moon technique, sixth form"
As Kei's sword and the lightning clashed, he understood the true strength of the tribulation
'I'm fucked.'
The lightning was brighter than ever
Kei's defences failed him but they did lighten up the weight of the impact
Lightning hit Kei's body and in self defence Kei tried sucking up all the heavenly tribulations' Qi with the True universe breathing technique
But Kei still got injured
As the lightning finally stopped and the tribulation was over, Kei's body felt numb
"KEISUKE!"
Akira had found Kei and was rushing towards him
Kei started falling down
"Hehe, what do you think"
~grab~
Akira grabbed Kei before he fell down
"It wasn't that ha-gaawa"
~gulp~
Akira shoved a pill down Kei's throat not letting him utter a single word
It was a healing pill
"Dude at least let me finish"
"Sshshshhsshhshshsh, that's what she said"
Akira put his finger on Kei's lips
"You are a fucking idiot."
Akira then let Kei down to the ground and Kei started up his cultivation technique so that he could absorb the pill and heal up
Akira started speaking
"You broke through at a place with no arrays to help you and no defensive equipment. Do you know what cultivators like you are usually called?"
"no, this is kind of new to me" Kei naively proclaimed at Akira
"Dead. Keishuke, they are called dead."
A heavy atmosphere surrounded Akira like he had personally gone through a loss in this manner
"I should have thought more, I was just so excited you see? I'm sorry"
"AND YOU DUMBASS WE HAVE SPECIAL SECLUSION ROOMS FOR BREAKTHROUGHS WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DESTROY THE GUEST ROOM!"
"Honest to God (hehe) I didn't know it would be like that, and I didn't think about it, look, in my defence you never mentioned this."
Akira got a sly grin on his face as he looked at Keisuke with anger
"Well then, why don't we get back to training once you heal up?"
Akira's Qi started flooding out more and more, visibly leaking from his body
'I messed up...'
And so Keisuke's "training" continued for the rest of the 19 days
*To be continued
