Several weeks later…

.. .. .. .. .. ..

”The world is one, I am the world.” Micheal's voice echoed softly as he sat in meditation, on a lone outcropping on the side of one of the towering skyscrapers. This particular outcropping was located deep within the territory of the Godfather Organization, facing the large, empty grass plains on the edge of the Cluster.

”The rhythm of the world… the heartbeat of the universe…” He continued, his eyes shut.

”Grasp it. Draw upon it. Shape it.” In his hands, he held a long and slim black sword, made of a material that reflected no light. It was pitch black, yet had an extremely keen edge.

An Ashari Blade, a weapon that cost him 38,000 Points in the Shop. An actually decent sword that would be able to hold up if he used his Sword Energy, all the way up to the Advanced Tier, without becoming damaged.

It would even last for a few swings if he used Master Tier Sword Energy, leaps and bounds beyond the Steelborn Sword or White Steel Swords he had previously used.

'Now, however…'

”Wield it.” He took a deep breath.

WHOOSH

Red energy swarmed around his hand, imbuing itself into the blade he held. All around him, the world seemed to flow back and forth for a brief moment.

An instant later, a horrifying aura of sharpness emanated from the sword he wielded. A feeling that felt as if the sword could cut through anything it faced, a feeling that there was literally nothing in existence back on earth that could stop it.

A slightly strained look appeared on his face, as if this action was somewhat strenuous.

”Ahh.” He exhaled, smiling slightly. The horrifying aura of sharpness dissipated, the sword returning to normal as he glanced down at it with a smile.

'I can use Intermediate Tier Sword Energy freely, and am able to use Advanced Tier Sword Energy in limited amounts. Enough for four or five full attacks, much better than before. And each one of those attacks would be strong enough to slice through Brandon's Black Knight armor as long as they were made with the Ashari Blade.' He nodded,

'The increase in my Soul stat is a bit helpful, but it's mostly because of my stronger body being able to handle the burden. My biggest priority will be on upping my Soul stat from now on. The sooner I can use Master Tier or Grandmaster Tier Sword Energy, the better.' He blinked,

'Status.'

'Hmm.' He took a moment, looking it over. He decided to mentally tally his improvements, his eyes flashing.

'My Strength is already at 50… The strength of 5 men.' He set his sword into his lap as he held out a fist, slowly clenching it.

'I could probably take on a regular Morenkai with my bare hands now, without resorting to any tricks.' A few well-placed punches could cause serious damage. His body was strong enough now that it could bear a few strings of Sword Energy, enough to boost his attack power.

'50 Points is what I reached last time with my Mortal Tier Ki Cultivation, when I grew it to the Peak Stage. Yet now, I've only entered the Late Stage, and have already achieved it. I've even managed to increases my Soul stat by 3 Points. When I originally reached the Peak Stage of Mortal Tier Ki Cultivation, it only grew by 2 Points.' He smiled,

'This must be the difference between Physiques, huh?' A stronger Physique would make his Ki Cultivator Ability grow stronger and stronger, far more than those with weaker Physiques.
