Chapter 475 - Improvement And Worry (2/2)
”A dud?” he wondered for a second. Abruptly, a rush of Qi, similar to when he broke through ran up to his mind and started rushing through all over it.
Alex could only feel a cool sensation around his skull, and some sudden bursts of heat. Neither of which hurt him at all.
He endured the happenings in his head for a while and soon they disappeared.
'Is it over?' he wondered. Just to be safe, he decided to wait for a few more minutes more. Once he was sure it was all over, he released his spiritual sense once more.
It slowly spread outwards and soon reached a point that made Alex's eyes go wide in surprise.
”So far,” he thought and immediately reeled back his sense. His eyes were still stunned as he muttered a single word. ”40.”
40 meters was what his spiritual sense had extended to. At best, he had expected it to extend to around 37 or 38 meters, but he had never expected it been reached such a high 40 meters mark.
”Is this pill supposed to be this good?” he wondered. That could only be the explanation to the current happenings, for the other explanation of there being something different about him was not something he was looking forward to hearing.
”Okay, good. I got 40 meters mark, that's great. Let's cultivate now,” he said. He wanted to quickly move away from whatever he was thinking of at the moment and called out Pearl.
He sat him down next to him and soon the two of them started cultivating. Alex too started breathing in and out slowly and before he realized it, he had fallen asleep.
******
Alex logged back into the game after returning from his second last day at the university. He now only needed to go to his classes for a single more day before his exams would start.
After that, he was going to drop out of the university for sure. He was still thinking about how to break the news to his parents.
While he was surely earning a lot of money, he was also missing out on learning stuff that would be helpful in his life. As long as he could persuade them that he could easily learn later, but not earn as easily, he could likely get away with dropping out.
His storage bag was buzzing a lot, but he ignored that entirely. The thing that took his attention immediately event though he had already felt it already was his True Qi.
”50%,” he said quietly. That was the percentage of Qi in his meridians that hard turned to True Qi.
This was happening way too fast for him right now. From 5% to 20% to now 50%, the amount at which his True Qi was increasing per breakthrough was astounding.
However, this also came with a simple worry for him. If he kept on going like this, by 5th Mind tempering realm, he was likely to turn all 100% of his Qi into True Qi. What would he do after that?
As far as normal cultivation progress went, once someone converted all 100% of their Qi to True Qi, and were left with not a single hint of Common Qi, they could then, and only then, breakthrough to the True realms.
”Does that mean that when I get 100% True Qi at 5th Mind Tempering realm, then I too would directly go to the True realms?” he wondered. He just couldn't see how else it would work.
He worried that his advantage of having a high cultivation strength while having a low cultivation base was soon going to disappear.
”Urghh! Why did it have to be like this?” he worried. He moved around his hands in frustration, not sure if punch something or pull out his hair.
Finally, he managed to calm down and took a deep breath. He took a few more deep breaths and opened his eyes to look at his storage bag that was relentlessly buzzing for the last few minutes.
”What is it?” he thought and opened his bag to take out the thing that was buzzing. It was his badge.
”Oh, did they decide to come back—”
He suddenly stopped when he remembered. So many things had happened with his cultivation base and his spiritual sense that he forgot about the reason he had broken through in the first place.
He looked at the badge and saw what was written on it. Alex couldn't help but snicker at the words.
