Chapter 22 - Preparing For Breakthrough

After eating a large breakfast of wolf meat, Mors stood up. Full and ready to test out his new body and cultivate. The first thing he does is find out what this sword stat does. Mors stands on top of the hill as he breaths in, his eyes focusing on a piece of land on the base of the hill.

He tries to imagine his sword attacking that spot. Just like he did before when fighting the skeletons. He wanted to attack that piece of dirt with his sword. As he makes a clear picture of his sword piercing the ground, a large yellow transparent sword appears on the base of the hill.

Soon the sword did a large strike on the ground, leaving behind a large crack as it disappears. Mors closes his eyes as he waits for the feeling of QI depletion, but it never happens. As he opens his eyes once again, he tries to summon a sword in front of him.

Slowly a new yellow sword appears in front of him, but with a mission, it disappears as soon as it came. A slow smile forms from Mor's lips as he imagines 25 swords attacking the same piece of dirt as before. Soon 25 swords appear in the air as they do countless attacks on the ground, once they did their attacks they will disappear. But weirdly, he felt like he has not used even a drop of QI.

"So why he could summon so many swords without a problem. So, I can summon 25 swords, but the QI will kick in if I go over 25"

He said out loud as he tests out his theory. As he summons 26 swords to attack the same spot, he could feel a heavy drain on his QI. As the swords disappear, he drops to the ground, sweating. It seems like the high cost of the yellow sword was still the same.

"Alright…so I get 25 free swords to attack the enemy with. Hahaha nice"

As Mors continue to practice with these swords, he found that their limits were still the same. As long as he can see something he can attack it with his swords. He could also make them explode on impact or change what type of attack they will do. He could probably use them for blocking as well, but can't really test out with an enemy to attack you.

After training and testing his new stat, Mors checks his war legacy. He did so much fighting for this thing, it better be good. As he looks over at the War's legacy, he could not help but smile. Seeing that as he went through the cultivation stages, he would unlock new powers and martial arts. He decided to focus on the stage he will breakthrough.

[Warrior Stage: War's First Symphony and Blood Thirsty Eyes]

[War's First Symphony(Primordial)]

[ A Mind Art helps the user create music from the cruelty of battle and war. As the user follows the notes of the Symphony, they will be awarded an increase in the damage their attack does, but also an increase in QI consumption. Be careful, if an enemy realizes the way the symphony will play, they can use the symphony effect against the user]

[Blood Thirsty Eyes]

[ A fragment of War's eyes, able to confuse and frighten enemies if the user channels QI to their eyes.]

After checking all of his new things, Mors started his final cultivation before reaching the Warrior Stage. Like these 3 weeks go by. Mors spends his days cultivating and practicing his martial arts and control of his QI. Only stopping to eat wolf meat and to sleep. Mors wants to save his remaining points to increase his stats once he breaks through the Warrior Stage. After 3 long weeks of boring cultivation, Mors finally reaches Mortal Rank 10. thankfully there is a small river in these plains where he can drink water from and bathe.

His body could no longer hold any more QI. Every cell in his body is already full of QI, any more and they will explode. He has hit his first natural wall in his cultivation journey. Now it is time to break through and reach new heights. Mors sit down in lotus position, he took out the [Calming Elixir] from his ring and place it down next to him. Weeks ago, he already took off his half-broken hafu, now walking around half-naked.

He took the cork off the Elixir, as the sweet smell of the Elixir enter his nose. Just from smelling it, he could feel his emotions calm down and his eyes get heavy. Mors shallows some of his own saliva as he looks at the Elixir in his hand.

"Well, here goes nothing"
