Aeric stirred awake, the first light of dawn casting a faint glow through his window.
Ding! The system chimed softly, and then came the gentle reminder to begin his morning cultivation exercises.
[Begin Cultivation Exercise]
[Exercise will focus on Body Tempering by strengthening muscles with Divinity]
[Take position: Divine Tortoise Method]
[Begin].
With a groggy sigh, Aeric rose, stretching until his muscles felt taut. Today was no ordinary day. Unlike his usual life as Dagwood Ackley, he had a goal to meet — a challenge to face — and he couldn't afford a slow start.
Settling onto the floor, Aeric entered into the Divine Tortoise Method, connecting with the imagination of the river and its channels, focusing on his breathing as he directed his Divinity into controlled, steady pulses.
This time, rather than the meridians, he aimed to strengthen his muscles, envisioning each bubble of Divinity and infusing them with resilience.
