Lust System in the Murim World

Chapter 98 Surrounded



98  Surrounded

Martial Techniques were basically manuals that record the method of absorbing spiritual energy. But, there were two kinds of methods. And, each martial technique record both.

Martial Arts- It held different kinds of styles that while performing strengthen the body while absorbing spiritual energy. It couldn't be used in a standstill position.

Cultivation Manuals- It held the passive lotus position style where a person would breathe in spiritual energy and use the martial technique to mold their spiritual energy with their blood and pass it into their dantian.

Whenever spiritual energy merged with blood, it slowly transformed into internal energy and thus it needed to be stored inside one's dantian.

Dantian- It would be a space above the naval point inside one's body which would be bigger from the inside and smaller from the outside. And, using the internal energy, one could slowly expand the dantian.

'I never thought absorbing the spiritual energy would be this easy. Breathing huh! One needed continuous breathing to stay alive but in terms of cultivation, breathing like normal wouldn't be enough.'

'You need to breathe the air that consists most amount of spiritual energy. Since spiritual energy would be much denser, it would be hard to suck spiritual energy from normal breathing so it took a lot of time to accumulate even a little of spiritual energy.'

'But, this wouldn't be a problem for me. I have lived inside a room where the air was limited so I had to breathe a small amount of air which would be almost half of the normal.'

'So, I was able to train my lungs to breathe as I want. Since I could breathe a small amount, why couldn't I breathe a large amount?'

Garven stayed in his lotus position and started breathing. His breathing was heavy but also very stable. From each breathing, he could only absorb the spiritual energy of one-third of the total air he breathe in.

After one whole hour of continuous breathing, he realized that he had enough spiritual energy to start his cultivation. Normally, one would require a martial technique to become a martial artist because, without it, there was no way to merge the spiritual energy into blood and refine it into internal energy.

Otherwise, every person in the world would become a martial artist.

True Mystic Technique!

It was quite a powerful technique because of its ability to refine two different kinds of attributes in internal energy. When he accumulated enough spiritual energy, he infused the spiritual energy into his bone marrow.

Now, his spiritual energy would slowly merge with the blood and start flowing through his blood veins, slowly absorbing nutrients. Basically, spiritual energy would be evolution-type energy.

And, nutrient was the raw material for that energy to properly function. Thus, whenever spiritual energy would merge with their bone marrow and flow throughout his body, it would slowly transform into a pure form of internal energy.

Now, using the sacred words written on the True Mystic Technique, he would slowly add two different attributes to his internal energy.

Dark Attribute! Strength Attribute!

There were different kinds of attributes that could be added to internal energy but pure internal energy only held life force. So, whenever he used the True Mystic Technique, he could use that life force to generate the attributes in it.

After all, one can't directly generate the attributes out of nowhere. But, the internal energy would still retain the life force that could be now used for increasing one's lifespan.

Dark Attribute was a perfect power for lethality and stealth. If this attribute was used by a trained assassin, it would become a perfect weapon. This was also the same kind of energy that Jin used when he used Moonlight Fangs.

Strength Attribute was simply a brute force. Unlike Dark Attribute, it wasn't uncommon and could be found in basically all martial techniques. Because without adding strength attribute to internal energy, a martial artist can't increase his physical powers while using internal energy.

Garven spent the entire day and night refining his spiritual energy into internal energy. It wasn't enough though. He could only add attributes to his internal energy when his dantian would be filled.

It's like exercising. Unless he exercised enough, he couldn't increase his strength. So, whenever his dantian would be full, he could add two attributes to his internal energy using the True Mystic Technique.

It took him four days to properly fill up his dantian though.

On the fourth day,

Garven was contemplating his rapid growth. From what he knew, it would at least take ten days to even a month just to fill up an empty dantian. So, he didn't understand why he was able to fill up his dantian so quickly.

'I am not sure about my talent. I know for a fact that I was easily able to merge the spiritual energy with my bone marrow which would normally be tough for people.'

'But for me, it was more like normal breathing. What I don't know is whether that's because I was talented from birth or because I spent one month in that extreme condition before starting my training.'

'It could be because of both or maybe the air in this place just has more spiritual energy than the air in our cities where there were numerous martial artists.'

'No matter what, my progression was definitely amazing. Now, I would need to properly add attributes to my internal energy. From what I know, my current internal energy has zero attributes.'

'If I merge both attributes, it would be more like adding points to something. If my Strength Attribute is zero, then it would become one after this promotion.'

'I am not sure how much it would increase my actual strength but I need to make a proper way to understand it better. But first, let's just add two attributes to my dantian and finally promote my rank.'

Garven closed his eyes and focused on his martial technique. Reciting the words of his technique inside his mind allowed him to comprehend the meaning of Strength and Dark attributes.

But, even if he could comprehend the entire meaning, he could only add a certain amount of it to his internal energy since his internal energy only had a limited amount of life force to actually transform his thoughts into reality, and shape these attributes inside his internal energy.

After a whole day and night of continuous training, he finally succeeded on the fifth day.

Inside his dantian, his internal energy was silently reserved like the water in a pond.

In the morning,

Garven opened his eyes and took out the metal rod from the side. He made a box on the ground and started writing different words and numbers.

{Basic Attributes- [Strength: 1] [Agility: 0] [Endurance: 0] [Dexterity: 0] [Stamina: 0] [Defense: 0]}

{Additional Attributes- [Fire: 0] [Water: 0] [Metal: 0] [Wind: 0] [Earth: 0] [Lightning: 0] [Ice: 0] [Light: 0] [Dark: 0]}

'Hmm! This is how I view my current internal energy. Only Strength and Dark has one point each. That means if I want to get stronger, I need to find a way to increase all the attributes, at least basic attributes. If I focus too much on additional attributes, it would be harder and longer to improve my rank.'

'So, first I need to focus on Basic Attributes. That man wasn't wrong. Unlike True Mystic, Blood Harmony Technique has four attributes that make it even more amazing.'

'Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Fire. If I train that technique, I would be able to cover two more attributes from basic attributes and as a bonus, I will also get the Fire attribute.'

'But, even if I do get Strength Attribute, it's not like I can add strength right now. I can add other attributes but can't increase the same attribute even if I do use another martial technique.'

'So, that means I need to focus on increasing the zero-point Agility, Endurance, Dexterity, Stamina, and Defense to one point each. Currently, the Blood Harmony Technique covers Endurance and Agility but what about Dexterity, Stamina, and Defense.'

'I need to find all six attributes no matter what. Currently, my battle strength is two out of fifteen. If I train Blood Harmony Technique, it would become five out of fifteen. So, instead of directly increasing my rank, I should increase my battle strength.'

'Thus, when I increase my rank, it would increase my battle strength even more. This process would be long and quite hard as well but there is nothing wrong with taking a long route.'

Garven rubbed the record bar that he made on the ground and stood up.

'I managed to live through that hell for a month without being extraordinary. So, there is no need to hurry. I can just take things slowly.'

He smiled and slowly walked out of the cave.

'It's time for the battle.'

As he came out, the door slowly started opening. The door that was keeping the other fifty children outside opened.

After a long discussion, Azur and others decided not to send any food outside. So, they were confident in this battle. But, the children from outside entered, and Garven's eyes narrowed.

'Something is wrong here.'
