"Let's become strong!"
"Together!"
...
Several days later, Mo Fan's courtyard...
~Inhale~
~Inhale~
Each breath brought Qi to the golden-haired guy's body, rejuvaneting and streghtening all of his muscles.
Slowly, the World Energy inside of him became so much that his physique couldn't handle it anymore, and so it had to exit, forming a beautiful, scorching orange aura around Mo Fan.
The golden energy augmented the process, making the Qi flowing through the youngster's meridians stronger, and so able to reach Mo Fan's Dantian, where it remained stuck.
Immediately, the Dantian, feeling a presence inside of itself, reacted by refining the World Energy and making this of Mo Fan.
And like this, all of the Qi that was before flowing across the golden-haired guy's meridian network was quickly gathered and refined in the Dantian. Whereas the external scorching energy that was previously surrounding Mo Fan was absorbed by his body, enhanching this on a whole other level: he reached the 7th stage of the Tempered Body realm!
"Yes! I have finally broken through! Now, I can gather and refine Qi inside of my body and make it mine."
"I have to immediately try something!"
...
After a couple of hours of training...
"Fuck, it's still too slow! I have to find another way to speed up the process of the Sun's Qi absorbtion or it will take me ages to gather a decent amount of it inside of my Dantian..."
"Maybe I can try with a Secret Art..."
"Library, here I come!"
...
At the library, Yang Secret Arts Section.
"So, young boy, which type of yang secret art are you searching for? Something like the Yang Breathing Secret Art? Or something like the Yang Flowing Secret Art?" Librarian Zhu asked, pulling some scrolls from one of the many shelves and putting them out for the golden-haired guy to see whether they were to his liking or not.
"Mhm..." Mo Fan quickly checked them. "They are all outstanding, but I am searching for something that focuses more on the speed of Qi's absorbtion than on its quantity."
"Speed, huh..." the library guardian began, starting to deeply think if he had something like that within the ordinary grade secret arts. "Follow me; maybe I have something that fits your needs."
...
Mo Fan followed the librarian for quite a while, and after passing through a lot of compartments, they stood in front of a decadent wooden shelf that appeared to fall at any moment. "Here we are, young boy! This is the shelf where I keep the secret arts that I can't classify, and I believe that among them you'll find what you are looking for."
"Ehm, yes, but are you sure that the secret arts on this 'shelf' are still readable?" Mo Fan inquired, seeing that all of the scrolls on the shelves were entirely covered by cobwebs.
"Yes, yes, they just need a little wiping," the librarian said before blowing off the cobwebs and grabbing from the shelf a scroll, which he then threw to the golden-haired guy. "That is the Yang Swirling Secret Art, young boy."
"The Yang Swirling Secret Art?"
"Yes, a technique that enables you to absorb the World Energy much faster by swirling your Inner Qi around the acupuncture points that are absorbing the energy. In this way, the suction power of the acupuncture points will be much stronger and so your appropriation of World Energy will be a lot quicker than before."
"What? Swirling the Qi around one's acupuncture points? That's simply genius! Why didn't I think about it before?" Mo Fan exclaimed, amazed by the meticulousness of the technique. "And why did you leave such a valuable technique to rot here?"
"Well, that's because I didn't know how to rank it since its effectiveness depends on both the size of one's acupuncture points and meridians. So, I didn't know where to put it and let it here," librarian Zhu explained.
"The size of one's acupuncture points and meridians?" Mo Fan repeated the old man's words, not believing that he had just found something even better than what he had expected to: with his enlarged acupuncture points and meridians, the technique seemed tailor-made just for him!
"Librarian Zhu, can I have it, please?" The golden boy insistently asked, absolutely wanting to get it. "Please, please, please!"
"If you want it that much, you can have it, but you'll have to pay me double for it!"
"What? Aren't you asking for a little too much, old fart? I don't have that kind of money right now!"
"You don't have that kind of money? Do you think I'm stupid that I don't know how well your workshop has been doing in the last few days?" The old library guardian said, intimating the youngster to cough over the money.
"Okay, you won. Here you are..." Mo Fan exclaimed, handing over the contribution points to the old man before starting to run out of the library with the secret art. "I gotta go now; see you later, librarian Zhu!"
"See you, young boy, see you..."
...
Mo Fan quickly returned to his house and immediately opened the scroll, giving a quick read to the secret art before starting to practice it:
With superb control, the golden-haired kid made his Qi swirl around his acupuncture points, their sucking force being enhanced by leaps and bounds, and, immediately, he started to absorb the Sun's Qi at an incredible pace inside of his body.
"This technique is amazing! In just a couple of seconds, I have gathered the same amount of Qi I did in one hour before! If it continues like this, I'll make another breaktrough in just three days!"

Sorry if the dialogue wasn't described much but I am trying to get to the plot as fast as possible (P.S. in four chapters we will get there).
Also I am going on a holiday so don't expect a chapter for a week or so.
