Chapter 168: Skyes Issue (1/2)

Gravis had been training for over two days until he was finally finished.

BOOM!

The surroundings exploded as Gravis stretched his muscles. He grinned and touched the muscles all over his body, which felt harder than steel. ”Finally, a body equal to the tenth level of Energy Gathering. Now, I am invincible in the Energy Gathering Realm even without my Will-Aura,” he proudly said to himself.

Yet, he also sighed a little bit when he looked at his current wealth. ”I only have a couple of weapons from the Darkness Guild left. I even used up all Energy Stones that I have plundered up until now. Luckily, I am only missing 20% Energy to reach the tenth level of Energy Gathering. After I sell those weapons, I should have enough Energy Stones to reach the tenth level. Then, I'll immediately break into the Spirit Forming Realm.”

Gravis kept the Energy in his head at a constant 99%. If he shot a single dot of Energy into his head, he would immediately break into the Spirit Forming Realm. Of course, that would damage his foundation. The stronger he was before a breakthrough, the better. The amount and density of Energy that he cultivated now would serve as a baseline in the future.

'After I sell those weapons, I will directly break into the tenth level and then ascend into the Spirit Forming Stage. At that time, I only need to finish some unfinished business in the Middle-Continent and then…' Gravis looked up towards the sky, ”the Core-Continent.”

CAW!

Skye shouted as it noticed that Gravis walked around. For the last two days, he had only been sitting around, eating pills without end. Skye knew that it shouldn't disturb Gravis during that time, so it kept itself busy with other stuff.

Skye quickly landed before Gravis and rubbed its head against his body. Gravis only laughed slightly and ruffled its feathers. ”How's it going, Skye? How far are you from a breakthrough?” asked Gravis with a laugh.

Skye pulled its head back and looked at Gravis with an unsure expression. When Gravis saw that, he lifted an eyebrow. ”What's up?” he asked.

Skye shook its head, and Gravis immediately understood what Skye meant with that. It meant that it wasn't even close to a breakthrough. As Gravis saw that, he furrowed his brows. ”This shouldn't be right. You have eaten so many humans in the later stages of Energy Gathering. You should be close to a breakthrough or even have broken through by now. Something's not right.”

Gravis thought for a bit and grabbed a stick from the surroundings. He started drawing a smaller Skye and a bigger Skye with a line between them. Skye looked with interest at the drawings. It was naturally curious, and it was always interested in learning new things from Gravis. Their last lesson had been some time back.

”This is you right now, Skye,” said Gravis as he circled the smaller bird. ”This is you when you break through,” he said as he pointed at the bigger bird. ”This line shows how close you are to a breakthrough.” Gravis pointed at the line in between.

Gravis created three marks on the line. One mark was closer to the smaller bird, one in the middle, and one closer to the bigger bird. ”This means you are at the beginning stages,” he said as he pointed at the first mark. ”This means that you are in the middle, and this one means you are close to breaking through. Do you understand?” asked Gravis.

Skye looked for some seconds at the drawings and then nodded. ”Where are you right now?” Gravis asked.

Scratch.
