Chapter 1643: Intense Practice

United City (Tier-3 Sub-Post)

Residence

In the room, I was waiting for the administration staff to come. Until then, I lay on the sofa and began to wait.

20 minutes later,

I heard a knock on the door. I opened my eyes and went to open the door.

Creak!

I saw a male staff member dressed in a tuxedo. I looked toward him. My gaze fell on the silver-colored box he had brought.

The male staff member didn’t speak, but he handed the silver box to me. I didn’t know why, but I thought the staff member didn’t want to bring the item at all.

He gave off the same vibe as the driver. I accepted the silver box. The next second, the staff member walked away.

He didn’t even bother to say anything. I watched the staff member until he was out of sight. Then I shut the door and went back to the sofa.

I placed the silver box on the table.

"I guess no one likes you here anymore," the ancient spirit said to me.

Hearing that, my mouth curved into an arc.

"I don’t care. As long as the warriors can improve their strength, then it’s fine," I replied.

The ancient spirit didn’t reply. Then I shifted my attention to the silver box. I opened the box. My gaze immediately fell on the affinity stones.

"Top-grade lightning affinity stones," the ancient spirit said.

"Physique-strengthening pills, energy fruits, and other treasures," the ancient spirit added.

The ancient spirit was excited as well, because all of these treasures were Red Mark Level Treasures.

"Good. These treasures are enough to push you to the Half-Step Red Mark stage," the ancient spirit’s voice said.

My eyes flashed with understanding. Next, I decided to begin my practice right away. I took the physique-strengthening pills first.

After collecting the four pills, I entered the essence chamber. The door shut automatically. I went to the switch and turned it on.

Buzz!

The energy began to spread across the essence chamber. The energy was pure mist. I came to the middle of the room and sat cross-legged.

Then I looked toward the pills. They were Red Mark Level Pills. I consumed one of them. I closed my eyes and started running the blood energy method.

The blood rune in my mind began to throb. The blood energy force separated from the energy and drifted toward my body.

The blood energy force entered my body. I guided the blood force along with the pill energy. I circulated the two powers through my body.

As the two powers circulated inside my body, I could feel the pain in the pathways. The pill energy was causing the pain. I continued to endure the pain.

A red blood light appeared above the stream of the two energies. It began to convert a small portion of the two energies into mysterious white energy.

The mysterious white energy drilled into my bones. The other part entered the dantian and settled inside the space of the blood energy force.

The pill energy was not exhausted yet. I continued to repeat the process. More and more pain was brought by the circulation of the pill energy.

The pathways inside my body were facing immense burden and pain. I had to control the energy. Otherwise, the pathways could be damaged.

Meanwhile, the ancient spirit was watching over me. It would warn me if there was any danger. I was also reminded to watch over my practice.

There was also immense pain brought by the mysterious white energy drilling into my bones.

Time passed.

When the pill energy was dried out, I took a ten-minute break before consuming the next physique-strengthening pill.

A few hours later,

The blood rune in my mind became denser. The Red Mark Level Strengthening Pills worked efficiently. The blood rune seemed to get closer to the Half-Step Red Mark strength.

If I continued further, I would reach the Half-Step Red Mark strength in the blood energy force.

The ancient spirit didn’t speak, but it was paying attention to the pathways. It noticed that the Red Mark pill energies were tempering the pathways.

But if Zack Lockwood continued to do this, his pathways might get hurt. It told Zack Lockwood to stop the practice.

Hearing the ancient spirit’s voice, I stopped practicing. Next, I stood up and went to the console. I turned off the switch.

The energy began to recede from the room. It didn’t take long for the room to become empty. Next, I exited the essence chamber.

I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I spent twenty minutes in the bath. After coming out, I put on comfortable clothes.

Next, I went to bed and slept well.

The following day,

I woke up late. After getting out of bed, I got to my feet. Next, I started doing my morning routine. The morning routine lasted for one hour.

I could feel the changes in the blood rune in my mind. It was way thicker than before. Seeing that gave me hope.

I could achieve the Half-Step Red Mark strength sooner than I thought. Next, I decided to enter the essence chamber.

I opened the silver box and saw the lightning affinity stones. Then I closed the box and put it inside the storage ring.

Then I went to the essence chamber and started my daily practice. I used the lightning affinity stones with the purple lightning method.

The dark purple lightning rune in my mind began to throb.

As time passed, the lightning force drifted toward my body. Along with it, the pure lightning force from the affinity stones entered my body.

I guided the lightning force as per the method. After circulating, the purple lightning force settled down inside my dantian.

Right then, the dark purple lightning sprout began to absorb the thick purple lightning force. When this happened, I began to gain new inspiration.

I was completely immersed in it. My understanding of the purple lightning method went deeper. I could feel that the purple lightning film was improving.
