11 9th Stage of Dantian Formation (1/2)

Chapter 10: 9th Stage of Dantian Formation

Van felt the pill go down his throat and dissolve into his Dantian.

A fiery energy flooded his meridians and widened them to the point of almost breaking.

A few of the minor meridians were growing cracks unbeknownst to Van.

A searing pain drove Van to his knees and Yu Lin helped guide the energy to the right places.

After 3 hours, Van had reached the 6th Stage of Body Fortification. He gritted his teeth as his meridians continued to stretch, crack and widen.

After a day, he was at the 10th Stage of Body Fortification and was ready to start the breakthrough.

Yu Lin gathered the Qi next to his Dantian and compressed it until most of the remaining energy from the pill was used up.

”Are you ready?”

Van was covered in a pool, ten feet in diameter, full of black waste that his pores had excreted from the rapid refinement of his body.

Van nodded his assent and Yu Lin directed the energy to attack the gate.

The energy crashed into the gate relentlessly causing Van to cry out in pain each time.

After about thirty minutes, the gate opened abit and green light shown through. He laughed in delight, but the Qi didn't stop there.

It continued to push against the gate with a little bit flowing through each time.

Van convulsed and spat out a wad of black blood every few impact.

After a few hours, the pain was to great and Van blacked out.

Van woke up feeling reenergized and ready to try out his new abilities.

He used his newly found spiritual sense to find his outer Dantian. He found a large puddle of Qi in his slightly transparent outer Dantian.

”9th Stage of Dantian Formation...”

Van muttered to himself. A year ago, this Stage would've been only a dream.

”Great! Now you must control your energy so that you don't reveal your true cultivation. You must also refine away the pill toxins and consolidate your foundation so it doesn't hurt you in the future.”

Yu Lin reminded Van.

Van sighed and withdrew his aura within himself.

”Now, enough sitting around. You need to get out there into the world. I'm tired of getting fought over by low level Beasts.”

Yu Lin walked towards Van and placed a finger on Van's forehead.

Van felt a cold energy enter his body as he was transported outside of the dodecahedron.

He woke up to the newly transformed Sanji staring straight into his eyes. He jolted up with a startled yelp but fell because of his body's lack of use for the past year.

”I guess I'm 13 now. I wonder how my aunt and Ghan are doing.”

Van took a deep breath and looked at Sanji.

”Are you ready to go back?”

Sanji nodded and got into a sprinting position.

Van grinned.

”On your marks! ... Get ready! ... Go!”

Van dashed off with Sanji on his heels. The Fierce Beasts all ran off in terror as the duo made their mark on the forest surrounding the crater.

Van's figure left behind an afterimage, that faded away after a few seconds.

Woosh!

”Crap! I forgot to hide my foundation base!”

He was already a short distance of 10 kilometers away from the city and was detected by the City Lord.

Despite being detected, the city lord was currently bowing to a woman clothed in a modest blue robe with a lavish body and many well defined curves.
