(From MC Perspective)
After getting the treasure box from Mr. Arthur, I hurriedly left the room. I didn't want to embarass him any longer. I don't know why he got paranoid unnecessarily. Shaking my head, I walked straight towards the essence chamber room. It's the best place to cultivate and consume these treasures.
After reaching the door, I quickly entered without alerting anyone. I sat cross legged and opened the treasure box.
"Hmmm" I was taken back seeing there is another layer beside the major lock.
Soon I realised one thing: it's a special container used to store items. It functions similarly to a storage ring. But this one is specifically designed for keeping special herbs intact.
After realising it, I sipped my consciousness into the storage ring. Soon, I found various herbs and essence pills were placed in different cubes. They were isolated from each other with a thin layer.
Seeing the mechanism, I couldn't help but feel amazed. "Good, This special container alone is worth a lot of money," I muttered.
Then my gaze shifted back to the various resources. I need to pick some carefully for my advancement. Since both of my body and essence were in the same state. Only my brain breakthrough is a bit lacking.
After figuring out, I focussed on which of these were useful for my brain power advancement.
After skimming through various descriptions, I came across useful ones. It's not a flower but some kind of pill which is glowing bright and radiating sky blue color.
Though the grades of these were not comparable to Star Tower rewards. But I feel something is better than nothing. There were times I even dreamt of getting these on my hands.
After sighing, I carefully take out the dazzling blue color pill. Before the efficacy fades, I quickly put it into my mouth. A warm current quickly flows through my vein and finally settles down in my dantian. I suddenly feel hot springs bursting out in boys beaming with power.
When the essence pill is done it's a wonder, there is a sudden explosion in mind. I can feel my mind being freshened and widened. I don't know how exactly, but I can feel it. So I tried to hold on to this feeling.
Sometime later,
I exhaled deeply and a large smile blossomed on my face. I can feel my perception getting a lot stronger and strengthened. I can sense it stretches beyond 20 meters. But due to the essence chamber, I stopped stretching out further.
With a gleeful smile, I begin to comprehend the lightning phantom technique. Soon, like a door is kicked open. I tore through the difficulty of the first level of comprehension. I began to comprehend next as I caught the little inspiration.
So I hold it tightly,
Time progresses, Slowly, like a epiphany.
I forgot the time, went into deep comprehension.
Two hours later,
I opened my eyes, "So, That's how it is' ' Earlier, I'm just scratching the surface of lightning phantom technique. Now, with my brain expansion, my aptitude has improved further.
Unlike before, I went step ahead. This time I won't fail in applying the technique. Feeling a new wave of stamina, I exited the essence chamber. And went towards the combat room.
"Creak" the door slid open.
After stepping inside the combat room, I shut the door and quickly begin to try the lightning phantom technique.
When I run my essence energy according to the routes of lightning phantom technique.
"Bang"
I suddenly displaced and crashed at the nearby wall.
"Damn it!" I cursed out loud.
The practical is extremely difficult. I need to concentrate on my sense of direction and at the same time I have to run my energy carefully.
I sighed, obviously this is my first ever essence technique. Earlier, I used common leg martial arts to move around. But my scope of distance is greatly limited.
It will take at least a little more time to grasp a sense of direction. Eventually, I can avoid crashing down.
Anyway, I put these negative thoughts behind my mind. It's very fortunate to have this kind of peerless technique, So I should be more careful here in the future.
After sorting out my thoughts,
I continue to try the technique. Time went on, From time to time I ended up crashing here and there. But with determination I continue to try with little bit caution. It would be worse if I got injured instead.
...
At the same time,
Elder Thornton is back in his cabin. Ever since he came from the Star Tower mission. He rarely stayed on campus. Due to the upcoming Crimson Hall's event, everyone is racking up their mind to guess the content of the event.
But Elder Thornton is a little more invested in it. Since it involves Zack's life. He is very careful about it. Not only about Zack, he knows it might turn around the good fortunes of Hansen Campus.
So after returning, he immediately went around to ask a couple of his connections to inquire information. But unfortunately, none of his connections concretely say anything. Each of them bulshitting thier own speculation.
He suspects since Hansen campus is in line right now. These guys want to rub on some good fortunes. So they are spewing various speculations. Since then he gives up on contacting his connection and chooses to return back to the campus.
Right now, He began to go through the first report, time went on but after five minutes he gave up. "No one gives a break to this old man." He scolded angrily.
Right now, after getting back to his own turf. Elder Thornton goes through various reports. There were piles of reports on his desk. It's just that the event at the Star Tower is held for one month. So various reports were unsigned; they need some verification and sign of his to process further.
But he is the Chairman and he cannot walk away like that. Right now there were multiple endorsement deals, there were some good ones related to the Army Federation. So he plans to contact them to negotiate. He had no idea how the future would unfold. So he feels choosing those organisations who had good relations with the Army Federation is best.
