Chapter 4 - Chapter 2: Body cultivation

Having decided on what to do next, Viggo went out of his room and went to the kitchen, then began looking around before finding 3 large sharp kitchen knives. A smile appeared on his face and he stored the knives in his inventory.

That was followed by him leaving the house with his hoodie on, which made it almost impossible for anyone in the streets to even take note of his presence due to the effect of the Nameless Ruler ring.

Using his phone, Viggo found a hunting area in a forest nearby and got in. Once he was deeper inside, Viggo pulled out the kitchen knives and used his Qi to telekinetically control them, something that was only possible at his level because of his martial arts and cultivation techniques which are too powerful to be used efficiently force in such a low realm. As normally it would take at least a Nascent Mind realm expert to be able to casually use telekinetic abilities.

The knives were made to float around him in a triangle formation as Viggo was using his Mental Blade Style: Flying Blade Formation, with two kitchen knives at the back, one on the right side, one on the left side, and one at the front. He began moving and looking for some sort of animal to hunt.

This search continued for a while before he found a rabbit and stabbed it with the front knife, killing it with ease. Then he activated his Monstrous Omni-Devourer's Body art, and a shadow-like form of energy hand came from his mouth and smashed the rabbit before consuming it and disappearing back into his mouth.

Training is the main form to gain and consolidate Chi, but it has to be extreme and takes too long, that's why most Chi techniques focus on lessening or removing that need to an extent. That is exactly what Viggo's technique does, it reduces the process by making the accumulation of Chi much easier leaving only the consolidation to be done. The technique works on the principle that all animals inherently have a bit of Chi in them, and one can acquire that Chi by consuming them whole. After gathering enough Chi, all that will be missing is consolidating it by exercising until one's body fully internalizes all of it, using one of the many breathing techniques made for that purpose.

After that, Viggo continued to hunt small animals like rabbits, and weasels, which went on until he had already consumed 12 rabbits and 8 other small animals.

(Master, you have enough Chi to get to the Body Initiation realm. It is estimated you'll take about 2 to 4 minutes to consolidate it depending on how much effort you put into training.) Una informed Viggo right after he consumed the 20th small animal.

(This world's energy forces have such a low quality... It's a grace that it only has 18 lesser realms in total, or I might have had to eventually consume entire planets to move on to the next plane.) Viggo commented upon hearing her, then began to make his way out of the forest.

"Help! Someone, please help me!" Screams could be heard as a cry for help resounded.

(Hum... What is this about?... Let's see.) Viggo activated his while using his Qi to spread his awareness toward the direction from which he heard the scream.

What he saw, was a young man being chased by two masked women.

(A celebrity... It could come in handy to know someone like that, so if it seems doable I'll interfere, otherwise, i'll just leave.) Viggo decided after reading the status of the three individuals involved.

As they were all running, Maverick was able to keep a certain distance from them, but Gilena one of the women chasing him pulled a black thorny dagger, and then a green aura surrounded it as soon a drill-like effect of wind could be seen coating the dagger, that followed by her throwing it at Maverick's right leg's calf. The dagger flew through the air seamlessly, hitting Maverick's calf in an instant, causing him to fall and roll over on the ground.

Having successfully injured and slowed down their target, both women approached with caution, taking some time to get closer without any rush.

Maverick who was on the ground with a frown, soon reached into his jacket and pulled out something, before throwing it at Fillania, who was a step closer.

It quickly reached her and she grabbed it, only to find out it was a microphone, which confused her as she couldn't understand what he possibly intended to accomplish by throwing a microphone phone at her. Had he gone mad or was he just that desperate to survive, she didn't or honestly care, what mattered was to get the job done.

"Hope you like my... Music..." Maverick announced but stopped for an instant midway due to the pain he was currently experiencing, but still, a smile appeared on his face.

*BOOM!*

That exact instant Maverick's EP went from 260 to 40 as an impact sonic wave exploded from his microphone directly hitting Fillania, who was still holding it, and sending her flying until she hit a tree nearby, her eyes, nose, and ears all bleeding, while Gilena who was close but not quite in the range of the main impact, managed to distance herself in time only ending up with bleeding ears.

This was as one would expect very loud, and was bound to attract the attention of people. Gilena was furious at Maverick, who would have thought that he had a frikin microphone that could conduct Qi out of all things! She had to finish the bastard off before he pulled any more tricks on her, caution was good, but this enemy clearly had to be dealt with in the quickest way possible.

Pulling out another thorny dagger, Gilena ran towards Maverick ready to end this, unfortunately for her, it seemed the world was conspiring against her, as a flying kitchen knife(?) came right at her clearly aimed at her throat. She immediately parried it, but just as it did so two more came from different angles.

At that moment a light green aura surrounded her, as she forcible moved faster and parried another of the knives while dodging the last one by a thin hair. This did not however mean that it was over, as the onslaught of knives kept coming at her, time and time again, as she was locked into a cycle of parrying and dodging, not being given enough time to breathe or truly get out of the situation.

*Crack* *Drip*

A black thorny dagger pierced Gilena's head as she was focused on tackling the barrage of coordinated attacks sent at her by three flying kitchen knives. Maverick took the chance and ripped the thorny dagger from his own flesh just to throw it at Gilena, using his last bits of EP to activate his sonic jumper ability and propel the dagger. Fortunately for him, it worked.

"Whoever you are, I really own you one big time... But could you do me a favor and take me home... I'm pretty famous... Finding my address shouldn't be that har-" Maverick was sounding weak and tired made an effort to speak, before giving in to his condition, and passing out.

(He should be able to make it if I take him with me. Let us hope the Juartiny aren't ungrateful, after all, that would be rather rude.) Viggo commented to himself as he approached the body of Maverick.

Once he got Maverick on his shoulder he, stored the corpse of Gilena in his inventory and put Fillania on his other shoulder, since she was still alive, even if not by too much. The Juartiny would probably torture information out of her when he handed her over.

(Master, your Chi cultivation has reached the 10th layer of the Body Initiation Realm. This realm's simplicity allows for many things.) Una popped up to report.

(Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that. Well, I can focus on my soul cultivation, when I'm back.) Viggo decided as he carried two unconscious people on his shoulders.
