[ Your order has arrived! Thanks for buying from Freed Store! ]
A sudden ring interrupted my search as I looked for more information on Yelan. It scared me as I was too focused on my research.
Oh wait, was this that? If I'm right, it should be the breathing technique that seems incredibly broken. No one's allowed inside Tree except the students and staff, so the package should be at the front gate. The guards there will just give them to us by themselves after a thorough inspection. As long as there's no illegal items inside the package, there should be no problem. You wouldn't have to worry about them destroying the package or possibly ruining the item, as it'll just go through a scanner and it will see what its content was.
" Hello, a package for Mon Weise? " A rough voice escapes from the opposite side of the door.
" Yeah, just leave it there, thanks." I replied instantly, incredibly excited about this gem that I had just found.
" Oh ok, we'll deduct the delivery fee through your accounts then." He says with a louder voice, probably trying to inform me there's a fee for that delivery.
" Uhh, aren't S-class students exempted from that fee? "
" huh? Mo…. Mon Wei- . Oh, Student Mon! I'm sorry for this misunderstanding. Uhh, I thought, you know, since this was the Tiger dorms.... Anyways, yeah, I'm sorry it's free. " He stutters as he seemed to have figured out who I was. I mean, it's pretty reasonable. I should probably move out of here soon. It's pretty quiet as no one's really strong enough here to argue with me, but the facilities in other dorms are way better than this. They have their own training arena, vending machines, and other helpful stuff, so that'll probably be next on the agenda after I handle everything else.
Alright, it's finally time. The packaging was a little messy, but I guess that's what you would expect from an inexpensive F-tier item. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
" Mana-KI Collection Technique "
It sounds like a weird disease or some kung fu for collecting spare change.
- Dr. Frego's lifetime research. By using Mana to attract its counterpart through the constant attraction of negative forces. Just start collecting Ki through the prescribed technique, and as long as mana is formed through the normal conjuration process, Ki will start to gather inside the projectile or structure that the mana has formed.
Pfft...
I mean, the fact that they were so proud of this item, then it just says " Just start collecting Ki as you shoot fireballs." I get it why this was treated as a joke. Don't worry, Dr. Frego, I'll take this technique to another level as long as it works the way I thought it would.
Phew....
Sitting down in a lotus position, I try to breathe in the Ki prescribed by the book.
Whew...
I calm down as I feel the ki enter my body every time I breathe at equal intervals.
Hoo....
I don't know how long it's been, but slowly I could feel the Ki change to something odd. I could feel it whirl, almost like a wild whirlpool pulling everything in the vicinity.
Whew...
I think it's time to test it out.
I can't really fit all the arms here, so I might have to go to the S-class training arena. There should be no people there anyway, as it was still class hours. Besides, Sol is the only one who uses it anyway. The Dragon dormitory, or the one the S-class students use, has its own training arena. There's really no need to go to this public one, which has pretty much become more private than the actual one, considering the number of people going to the S-class one.
Anyway, even if Sol was present in the training arena, it wouldn't be my concern as he already knows what I could do.
...
With that being said, I rushed there as I couldn't contain my excitement and curiosity. I planned on collecting rare and ancient equipment that would help me collect Ki faster with the help of my future knowledge, but if this works, I wouldn't need them anymore.
I scanned my Holic on the gate as my excitement continued to rise. The door opens and, sure enough, there are no other people inside and I have this entire area to myself.
Without wasting a second, I grabbed a Ki restoration potion as I prepared myself to collect KI 10x faster than I normally do.
" Armaten! " I said so with the same posture and about eleven arms formed behind me.
I calmed myself down as the excitement would interrupt me from learning this skill properly.
Whew...
I started doing the collection technique indicated in the book, and surely enough, the arms made of mist that contain the purple pulsing mana started collecting Ki from the surrounding area.
" Oh my fucking god... " I couldn't help but exclaim as I looked at the arms as the mana inside whirls, absorbing the Ki particles in the surrounding area.
Ki started to gather and build up inside of the arms. The amount of ki was pretty minuscule, but that was already obvious as it was an F-tier collection technique. But yet again, I'm here playing with quantity. My arms might be weak, but they are large in number. With that being said, the amount of Ki in one arm was not something I'm going to worry about.
Now is the time to see if it actually fits for me. Even if I could form a million arms right here right now, I couldn't really get the collected Ki by itself. It needs to have direct contact with me, according to the review that one guy left.
And by those words, it would mean that I would have to tank a million mana bullets...
I could have the speed of light in terms of collecting KI, but I would also die as fast if I did it the orthodox way, at least according to that one guy.
Anyways, as I look around all of the arms I formed, there seems to be one where the whirring fully stopped. At least according to the book, this should mean it's full. So with that, it's time to test if I can collect this Ki safely.
Oh god please...
I was incredibly nervous. It was time to find out whether this was a priceless treasure, or just another scrap pretending to be one.
The arm floated in front of me. The mist was even thicker than normal, as the bright purple mana light wasn't fully visible any longer.
Tsk. It's now or never!
Without wasting any more time, I walked through the arm, causing it to disappear that instant.
...
It worked?
I feel Ki enter my body as I pass through the arms made of mist, filled with mana.
This... I couldn't help but grin at this new discovery as I finally found a way to catch up to the rich and system-abusing main characters of this world.
Excitement filled me as I continued to run through every single arm full of Ki. I even drank a few Ki restoration potions to redo this process, which was a bad idea, as I couldn't even feel my stomach anymore.
Well, it was all worth it as quantity was proven superior yet again to quality. I mean, whenever I use this technique, it pretty much increases my Ki storage, and whenever that happens, I could increase the speed and efficiency of collecting Ki. It's literally an engine that fuels and upgrades itself.
People would normally struggle as it takes an incredibly larger amount of Ki the stronger you are, but in my case, the stronger I am, the faster I am at collecting Ki.
It only took that much time to make me ascend to the level of a 2* martial artist.
