28 3rd Spirit Gathering (1/2)
As the spirit gathering pill took effect, an abundant amount of energy was stored within her beast core.
As she refining the energy it started out as quite violent and wild but quickly became more stable as time passed.
Sensing that she had achieved enough energy to break through she began to circulate her energy toward her third meridian point.
As the spirit energy violently clashed against the final wall of resistance, the third meridian point opened up smoothly.
After breaking through, Shadow felt her bodies limits being surpassed once more.
Her body grew stronger every second as she spread her spirit energy through her body nourishing every part possible.
Now she felt more confident in being able to fight other beasts with equal or a little more powerful strength than herself.
As she was training her dark attribute, she would not use her light attribute unless it was to heal her injuries because her light spirit energy was now only at 2nd spirit gathering thanks to the excess energy from the beast cores and the pill used.
Truthfully speaking dark attribute suited to her current environment, the dark forest was a perfect place for her to use her abilities.
At a higher mastery of their dark attribute cultivator can leave behind an after image or doppelgänger of themselves when used with a movement technique.
There are also techniques that allow the dark energy to envelope other types of spirit energy attacks upon clashing, as they clash the energy is absorbed by the dark energy and serves to strengthen the cultivator so long as their opponent is not too high of a cultivation above them.
Dark spirit cultivators must use their concealment and sneak attacks to gain the advantage at the start of a battle, once the opponent has been injured their focus would be on trying to expel the dark energy from their bodies leading to them not focussing on the fight or they don't and they slowly weaken as they try to take down the dark cultivator… Both are fatal in a life and death battle.
As she came out of cultivation she laughed happily. ”Now I am a quarter of the way through the spirit gathering stage, not only has my cultivation speed increased after opening three meridian points, my body has improved by so much. Fighting tougher opponents should not be a problem, not to mention if I run into a human they would need to be even stronger or be lots of them of the same rank or above to pose a threat to me.”
As she stretched her body she began to take steps towards a tough looking tree, a black energy wrapped around her antlers as she charged and landed a fierce attack onto the tree.
As parts of the tree was shattered, wisps of the black energy lingered on the tree.
