Chapter 26 Gaining Fa with power The purity of his naturally produced ki was so high, that in comparison, he believed that the ki his body had produced so far, had been an incomplete version of his actual ki

His spirit wasn't any less impressive In fact, he felt like his spirit connection with the spiritual plane was much clearer than before, and the spiritual essence drawn from it, was so pure that if Daniel tried to use any of the basic spells he knew, he would consu the hilt of his sith his left hand, he decided to test his newly aquired strength, so he unsheathed it, and focused his ki on the edge of his sword The edge of the sword started to shi+ne with a pale sky blue light Daniel walked towards the biggest boulder he could find, and sword in hand, ash appeared on the surface of the threefroh it like a hot knife through butter

Unfortunately, Daniel still wasn't able of pushi+ng his ki further than his own body, or the body of the weapon he was holding Therefore, the sword could only cut what it ca Ki' had es to it, which would allow hih ki, and even send slashes of pure ki through air But with Daniel's currentKi', he was only able of sharpen the sword's edge

Daniel sheathed his sith a satisfied look, he then closed his eyes and focused on pushi+ng the spiritual essence within his body through his feet, and into the surrounding ground At an is started to e pile, which a wave of soft soil covered right away

After less than twenty seconds, the pile of rocks and soil had shi+fted in place and taken a huoleolem Daniel had suoleiant made out of rocks and soil with siers, toes, and a bone structure made out of solid rock Its face was still smooth and devoid of any human resemblance, but at least it was shaped like a face

After looking up, Daniel noticed that the light co He didn't kno long he had been cultivating, but since he felt like he hadn't eaten for days, he believed that more than a day had passed

He needed to find a way out of this cave as soon as possible

The first thing he did, was to rip one of his sleeve off and wrap it around a small rod that he had made out of stone He then soaked it with the scorpion's fatty round, before unsheathing his sword and one of his knives

He sat right next to the torch and started to whet the sword's unsharpened side with the knife's edge His first few tries generated no sparks, but thefaster, and faster, until finally, a few sparks flashed past his fingers and disappeared in the air

It took hinite the torch, but instead of getting up and start exploring the cave, he shoved his hand inside the flame, and activated 'Time is Precious'

For the next five minutes, Daniel focused on the warmth on his skin, looked at the sinuous s of fire essence The torch was rudimentary, and only had the scorpion's fatty innards to keep it lit, so after less than ten uished

Luckily, thanks to the systeh for Daniel to understand the priciples of fire essence

While still sitting in a lotus position, Daniel forced his spiritual essence out of his palm He focused on the familiar warmth and wavy movements of a flame, and after a few moments, a srowing in size above Daniel's skin for a good minute, it then detached fro bigger and bigger until, when it reached the size of a hu flame required Daniel's cooleolem, the fla Whisp'
