BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 Training Circle
Like a perfect sculpture with no unnecessary muscles, it was just perfect.
Those powerful arms, that straight, muscular back, that muscular shoulder, and those gorgeous abs.
It was hard to imagine this boy was just around eleven years old from that attractive physique.
Sitting in this endless dark room with only this one magic circle that was impossible to understand, even by great geniuses, he breathed calmly in the special air.
Special air filled with highly concentrated solar energy, and… he was still calm.
It was impossible for normal beings with no affinity for particular energy to even sense it but, for someone like him, it was a different story.
He can feel it clearly, as well as experience the great pressure from this concentrated energy in his surrounding.
He might be feeling a lot more gravitational pull than normal, feeling almost crushed in that place but, he was calm.
He didn\'t show any form of discomfort and just continued absorbing the dense energy around him.
The process going around him was invisible to normal eyes, but... it was different for the person standing some distance away.
This lady looked alluring and one might fall for those looks, just those glowing blue eyes filled with delight looked somewhat... dangerous.
Not like some hungry predator, but just that they looked unique in this darkness.
They were glowing and the things those eyes saw were a lot different from what met the normal eyes.
This large room was filled with magic circles of different shapes, sizes, and colors.
The giant magic circle he was sitting on was no normal thing, either.
Glowing in a rainbow color with different sections having different colors, this magic circle was creating different spheres of some peculiar colors.
Ranging from orange, blue, yellow, purple, and many other colors.
Coincidentally, all these spheres looked somewhat similar to the common outline of the sun.
And then there was this boy sitting in the middle of all this, unfazed by anything.
This circle had three times the gravity than normal but, he was doing fine.
The physical body was, at the very least.
His astral body, the materialization of one\'s soul, was having a hard time coping with all the different energy radiations in his surroundings.
He has achieved control over his physical body, but he was still a bit away from being able to master the control over his soul.
Well, this concept was new in itself to a child like him, anyway.
One would naturally understand the meaning of the world, the things within it, as well as the extent of one\'s self.
Every being in nature was different but, we all had the same permissions and restrictions as someone who would inevitably be going to die.
Though there were exceptions like her, true immorality didn\'t exist.
But those things didn\'t mean anything to a young boy like him who has just started learning the truth.
He could barely separate the two bodies, just like right now. And that was amazing for any being his age.
She had trained him for almost one and half years and he had grown beyond her expectations.
He wasn\'t a genius who understood everything at once, but... he was a genius who worked hard and figured out everything on his own.
His ability to remember everything was one thing, but his passion and fire to learn were what made him more than a genius.
He had learned many things during the time they had been together, and the knowledge and wisdom he now possessed were more than any normal being.
Be it magic she taught him, magic that he learned from books, or magic that he created on his own, they were all amazing.
And his physical abilities had grown a lot, too.
Be it his archery skills, close combat, or overall strength, he was truly a great disciple to her.
Even at this moment, she was smiling triumphantly as she looked at him.
"Six months... truly, he\'s a monster, if not a genius." She commended while biting her nails.
Her crazy smile and the fiery eyes fixed on him were enough to show her joy at this moment.
Her exaggerated reaction wasn\'t because of him being able to endure this magic circle, but something more than that.
One could only see this spectacle with eyes like her, and truly... it was unbelievable.
The physical body of the boy was the same, but something different was happening with the astral body that was having a hard time all this time.
The astral body had the same appearance as the boy and the pressure that seemed unbearable to this boy was getting lower as time passed.
She was hoping for something as she looked at him, something that she believed wasn\'t possible and something that she would see for the first time in her long life.
She continued looking at the boy and, as time went by, the astral body that floated just above him started calming down and adjusting to these different energies.
At this moment, the body of the boy started glowing up in white, and from the light balls floating around him, the white one floated beside him.
And with that, every other sphere of light turned into white, filling the entire room with white in her eyes.
"He liked my white flames enough to choose white from all those colors?
Well, it will certainly suit him." She smiled again and looked at her orange-colored energy.
These were the colors one accepted the Solnova as materialization.
Just like Mana or Aura, being able to materialize a particular type of energy was different from using them in magic or strengthening.
One could use materialize Aura in a form that came out of their deep subconscious.
But that happened on and after the [Rank-4] of a knight in simple terms.
A mage could materialize Mana easier than Aura at the (tier-5) and it was different from just materializing it in a form.
Materialized Mana was a crystal that worked as an accessory or a gift for someone special.
But Solnova was different from other materializations.
Just like what she had done to open his energy channels, one can materialize that energy ball when they clear the second blockage of the physical body.
It was the most basic thing when one had mastered both physical and astral bodies and established a proper connection to both of them.
And right now, Eon was going to clear the first blockage of his body, the [Blockage Of Beginning].
Any energy cultivation would lead one to greater heights and the nine blockages are the same.
She had taught him everything about Solnova she could in this time, and all he had left was practice and more lessons ahead of him.
Though she had plans for different things, right now, the overflowing energy in this room was starting to get even more concentrated around him than before.
The process needed a tremendous will and endurance, but this boy was doing splendidly.
His body was heating up while beads of sweat started appearing on his forehead.
The astral body above his head started stabilizing too.
But blood started coming out of his nose at that same moment.
"You can do it, Eon. Push forward. You won\'t have another chance to come here for the next five years. Get as much as you can." She mumbled under her breath while keeping the smile.
She was happy, and the atmosphere in the room was starting to change.
A mist was slowly covering the room as the subject in the center entered the final stage of training.
This was the 45th floor of the tower, a floor with rooms similar to this one for different energies.
Though this one was special among them too, where only those who can control and use Solnova can enter, the restriction was as great as the benefit.
The process was hellish but, if you can pass through this thing, you were sure to reach new heights of strength.
Through a higher density energy environment and assistance magic circle that supported the user, one can do an average of a year\'s worth of training in a single day.
The one using this right now was the pretty boy, and he was enduring the growing pressure and energy without any problem.
If this was Mana, one might have gotten Mana poisoning at that density but, the energy and the user both were different from usual.
At this moment, this masochistic person was smiling in the face of pain and not only in his physical body but also in his astral body.
The wavelength of Solnova he chose, or more precisely, his subconscious chose, was growing and growing with each moment.
The ball of light had absorbed into the boy\'s body and slowly, other balls of light were getting in line to be absorbed by him.
But it was getting slow with each new ball of light.
It was pure energy; him being able to absorb just one was amazing but, this greedy fool was not stopping on just that.
One, two, three... he absorbed five in a row, but then the absorption slowed down.
The blood flowing out of his nose was also severe and his ears were also starting to bleed.
But something stranger than this was happening with his eyes.
Instead of anything like discomfort, his eyes were calm and glowing in the same light as the balls of light.
p
"Lucky bastard. Looks like his greed pleased the lady of luck."
This entire process, the entire show going on right now, and the deep smile on the boy\'s face were making her even more excited than before.
The boy didn\'t just stop with clearing the Blockage of the beginning, but he was doing more than that.
And this was related to his eyes.
His eyes were red like ruby but, at this very moment, were glowing in white.
The fusion of the pure white balls of light had slowed down significantly and, aside from the last one, every other light ball was slowly vanishing from the circle.
The whole dark room was getting illuminated with the different magic circles and a magic shield had formed around the boy as well as the magic circle.
He had absorbed eight balls of pure light, eight high purity Solnova packs, and now, he was overflowing with it.
And, as the rule of nature, when a dam overflows, the energy will leak without a doubt.
Even though he had absorbed all that energy with the assistance and guidance of this room, he hadn\'t fully absorbed everything.
Around ten or twenty percent was still lingering around his physical and astral body.
The astral body had now stabilized with the physical body and started to form balance.
The astral body existed in the astral world, a place separate from the physical world so, the time flow there was naturally different from here.
Even though you can\'t do much in that form, just having the ability to become a ghost no one can see was a great thing.
Well, it was an awesome thing as we can do \'stuff\' and no one will even know someone was there.
As a living, we can\'t stay without a physical body for much longer, even while having the ability to do so but it was still awesome!
Those were the rules of the world, so there wasn\'t much use for this form but, certainly, it was one of the most fundamental forms to understanding the world and getting stronger.
Strengthening the soul was an arduous task, and this was where things that can strengthen it were used.
Normal people don\'t focus on the soul, but those who know the meaning of a stronger soul know just how much things that can strengthen the soul are worth.
And this whole place that can do such wonders was naturally a ridiculous cheat.
And the boy who was about to finish the last ball of light started feeling the actual hell that one felt at the clearing of a blockage and his body trembled.
"Good luck, my dear child. I know you can do it." She prayed with her hands joint and closed her eyes when the ball of light fully absorbed in the boy\'s body.
<strong>"Khaaaaaaaaaaa!"</strong>
An excruciating pain ran throughout his body, and the boy screamed in utter agony.
A pain one felt when the dam that had restricted the bond of the two bodies breaks for the first time.
And even after all the help and support the magic here could provide, it was a pain no child... can even fathom to understand.
