And all of this when he is still weak; if he trains and improves a few days to increase his blood qi and internal energy a little, then his punches can easily explode humans and even kill the demon bear in a few attacks.
Old Caine, seeing his understanding, also taught him a movement technique called 'Star Constellation Steps' which seems to be Old Man's own creation, as he proudly showed him.
It was a difficult technique, one that required synergy with the '108 Star Empyrean Technique' to be used effectively and unleash its true potential. Only when used together could it display its miraculous movement speed, which was many times faster than using it on its own.
He quickly got the basic hang of it, and this time Old Caine was calmer as he expected that. After a few pointers, old Caine left him alone to train, but before he left, he gave him some resources and a space ring.
"Take this; it is a space ring; you can store things within it." Old Caine quickly handed the ring and told him how to use it and about the things that were within it.
Seeing the space ring, Ash's eye glowed, as even in his previous life, space storage devices were very expensive and rare. He also had it in his previous life because of luck; otherwise, his ass couldn't afford it.
He quickly took it happily, as it seems his master is really a big boss with riches and treasures.
All he needed was to channel his spiritual strength to activate the space ring. It was quite different from the space devices used in his previous life, which could be used by normal people. Here, however, such rings required a certain level of spiritual power or intern energy to use.
Ash came to his place and calmly sat down and one by one took out the things in the space ring.
There wasn't a lot of things—only one armor, some silver coins and a few bottles. He already knew about the items; his master had already told him about them.
First he looked at the bottles—to be more exact, the pill bottles. There were three pill bottles here containing three kinds of pills used for training in martial arts.
The first one was the blood qi pill for increasing his physical strength and blood qi within the martial artists. The second one was the Energy Pill, a simple pill to increase the internal energy.
And then there was the last and most special blue pill bottle. Unlike the others, which each contained nine pills, this one held only three. The pill inside was called the Spirit Fortune Pill, which, according to his master, was one of the rarest pills available that could be used to increase the spiritual strength of martial artists—a priceless treasure.
It was the important thing he needed to increase his spirit and improve his evolver realm.
But first he was going to use the simple blood qi pill to increase his physical stats. Not only will it increase his strength but also his speed and physique stats that he most urgently needed.
He took the pill out of the bottle. It was a reddish color, but the moment it touched the air, he caught the distinct smell of blood. Almost instantly, an indescribable sense of hunger stirred within him.
Without waiting any longer, he swallowed the pill. The moment it entered his body, it exploded with immense power and a surge of blood Qi. Feeling the overwhelming pressure, he immediately used the 108 Star Empyrean Technique to control and digest the raging blood qi from the pill.
Using the technique, he quickly gained control of the ferocious blood qi and slowly, with time, started to absorb and increase his strength.
It took him nearly an hour before he absorbed the entire energy of the blood pill, which seems to be faster than his master said.
Which only means his body seems to absorb the energy better than his master thought would be, but he didn't think much as this was a good thing. He quickly then used his eyes ability to see the exact change the blood qi pill brought.
[Ash/Asterion - Level 01(9.5/10)]
[Evolver Level - Early Stage Awakened ]
[Martial Arts Level - Third Rate ]
[Strength- 1.5 (+0.3)↑]
[Speed- 1.4 (+0.3)↑ ]
[Physique- 1.4 (+0.3)↑ ]
[Spirit- 1.8 (+0.1)↑ ]
[Talent- Eye of Myriad Manifestation (Level- 01)]
[Cultivation Skills-108 Star Empyrean Technique [Level - 0(11/5000) ], Shadow Wolf Technique [ Level - 2 (35/80)]
[Martial Skills- Dragon Elephant Divine Fist [Level - 1(04/3000) ], Star Constellation Steps [Level - 1(03/1000) ]
All his physical stats improved by 0.3; even the spirit seems to improve a bit because of the increase in star empyrean technique.
He still has nine such pills, meaning when he fully digests them, he will be twice as strong as he currently is, and with the boxing technique and his eyes, he should be able to handle the demon bear on his own.
Not to mention he also had the other two pills; after taking all of them, he should only be stronger.
After understanding the effectiveness, he came to the next pill, but not the energy pill. As he was currently just a third-rate martial artist, he needed to be a second-rate martial artist to fully use this pill. Maybe because of his superior technique he should be able to absorb it, but he would still waste most of it.
So, now he wasn't going to take it, and instead he moved to the Spirit fortune pill, which he had the most expectation, and hopefully improve his evolver strength along with spirit.
He opened the blue bottle, and the moment he did, a gust of mysterious energy surged out, instantly calming his mind and spirit. He felt refreshed and energized, as if a wave of vitality had washed over him.
The pill, just like the bottle, was crystal blue, and even smelling it, he could feel a surge in his spirit. He instantly knew with it his Evolver strength would definitely improve. So wasting no time, he swallowed it immediately.
