Alden and Chloe headed back to the dorm.
When they reached the dorm, they went their separate ways.
Alden quickly reached his room and entered inside.
Neo and Owen were meditating on the beds.
They had entered deep meditation and did not even notice Alden had returned to the room.
Alden did not want to disturb them. He walked to his wardrobe, and there, on top of the clothes, was the wooden dagger Linda gave him. He took the wooden dagger, walked to his bed, and sat cross-legged on top of it.
Tightly holding the wooden dagger with both hands, he closed his eyes and concentrated. From his dantian, he guided the spiritual energy through his arms to his palms.
Immediately, he felt empowered. He felt he could break the dagger in his hands if he tried.
'Now I need to bring the spiritual energy out of my body and first coat my arms.' Alden thought. Alden emptied his mind and felt the spiritual energy in his palms.
