He grabbed one of them. He was about to focus and circulate qi in his hand. All of a sudden he started feeling weak. His eyelids started becoming heavy.
And before he knew it, he laid down and fell asleep.
He slowly opened his eyes, realizing he was lying on the cold ground confused.
"Is this a dream? Hmm. I have to get to college; I still have my assignment left to do," he muttered and closed his eyes.
----------
"Ugh, didn't I die and reincarnate and meet a naked beauty!!"
He quickly stood up from remnants of sleep, and the familiar surroundings of the cultivation world greeted him once again.
He yawned and looked at the forest, which was still lovely. Cold wind passed by his skin, giving an otherworldly feeling.
He rubbed his eyes, removing the last chunk of sleepiness.
He calmed his mind and closed his eyes, preparing himself for a new endeavor.
"Hmm, what should I do? Oh, I was about to break through? Ah yeah yeah"
[ Qi infusion:
• Spirit stones 55.8%{1} ]
"Ah! Where did the rest of them go!" Then he realized he took out them and they can be seen glowing dimly surrounding him.
" phewh" he sighed in relief.
" so only 1 generated this time?" He muttered and gazed outside. It was still morning meaning he wasn't unconscious for that long.
"Good I guess" He muttered and took it out and grabbed the six lower spirit stones which he got from killing the two wolf's he killed.
He closed his eyes and started circulating the qi in his body. He wasn't sure he was doing it right or not as it become somewhat like as if he know it naturally. soon, intense energy started coming out of the stones like smoke, visible to the naked eye, entering his hand as if a vacuum was sucking all of the smoke. Signaling it's working.
Soon, all of the spirit stones disappeared from his hand, and his body started getting warm. He grabbed the big ones and started processing again. As the amount increased, he felt more warm in his body.
And before he knew it, he was ready to break through. He took a deep breath and focused his intent, feeling the power building up within him. The surroundings seemed to shimmer as he channeled the energy from the spirit stones into his body.
The process was intense, and he could feel the energy surging through him. His body felt lighter and more powerful with each passing moment. He could sense a significant change in his own strength.
the process stopped with a thud sound from his body. But it didn't end there. He started feeling the same feeling again.
He didn't panic he know he has yet to use all of the qi within his body. Thus breaking through again is expected. He won't be shocked even if he broke through again.as the requirements for breaking through to first stage to second stage is only ten exp.
As the process continued, he could feel the energy within him expanding even further. The sensation was exhilarating, and he embraced it, knowing that he was on the verge of breaking through once more.
His body was suffused with the power of the spirit stones and the qi he had cultivated. The surroundings seemed to blur as he continued to channel this newfound energy.
It wasn't long before he felt another surge, even more intense than the first. His body felt like it was on fire, and he could sense a significant transformation happening within him.
After what felt like an eternity, the process finally came to a halt.

He gazed at his new status,
°____°
" well I'm a trash, it's proven now. Three breakthrough no growth at stats and 6 status point. Heh no wonder system gave me shift settings. It's to make up for it" He muttered and looked at the 5 remaining high grade spirit stones.
And started breaking through again. He know he have to breakthrough afterall. And moreover he wasn't sure if his stats are normal or not but that low potential is troubling.
Time passed slowly, as he processed the remaining five spirit stones.
Tanvir slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the system panel.
[You have broken through to 5th stage]
[You have broken through to 6th stage]
[You have broken through to 7th stage]

He stood up stretching his hands,feeling the newfound strength coursing through his body. His senses were heightened, and the world around him seemed more vibrant than ever. As he glanced at the system panel once more, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride at his rapid progress.
Well he still felt like he's growth is too low, still by how he's breaking through, it shouldn't be normal right?.
Thus he was happy about it.
He looked down, and the forest now appeared like mere grass. He gazed up at the broken rooftop.
Then, he climbed on the rocks and reached the cliff again.
"Hmm, she broke the roof for me to come out or because of her flying carpet?" he muttered.
He checked the area where he was kidnapped and looked up at the sky, witnessing sights that were hard to believe. It turned out he was on a huge sky mountain, its peak disappearing into the clouds. He spent a couple of minutes taking in this unbelievable sight.
As he remembered when he saw the tallest mountain on the planet, he was shocked too. But compared to this huge monster, that mountain was still an infant.
Giving it a last look, he started heading back to where Valentine disappeared. The wind was cold, and he could feel that the qi density had increased significantly.
And before he knew it, he found himself in the hot spring area. As he walked toward the hot spring, anticipating warm water as he remembered, he began to think.
"My last encounter in a hot spring... , it was heavenly. I wish I can see the beauty of... her, I mean, the beauty of nature."
He wished he could encounter agi...
Crash! Boom!
He collided with something.
"Who the hell dares to block my path?" he muttered.
He searched for the culprit in anger and frustration, feeling a solid sensation on his palm.
"So this thing stops a man from admiring the beauty," he muttered and touched the barrier.
"Okay, let's focus," he said, his smile disappearing.
"A barrier?" he muttered.
"Aura eyes."
[ Name: unknown
Type: barrier
Details: Unknown]
"*---* Such useful information you got there, system."
And just like that, he walked past it. There was no way he would stay where a mysterious barrier had appeared. If he tried to break it, what if someone got offended and killed him? The chances of stumbling upon a girl relaxing were pretty high. The first time was lucky, but who knew if he would be lucky next time or not.
Thus, he started heading where Valentine had disappeared, with a humming sound.
After a while, the forest began to thin out, and he found himself in a more open area with many rocks in the surroundings. A gentle breeze brushed against his face.
He spotted a cluster of large rocks that seemed like the perfect spot to catch his breath. He sat down and leaned his body on the cool surface of the rock.
Suddenly, a strange sensation coursed through him. He realized the rock under him was vibrating. But before he could stand up, blinding light enveloped him.
