Chapter 183: Opening the first energy channel!

Chapter 183: Opening the first energy channel!

One can say that the Northern Duke of Dark Starlight hadn’t come across someone like Elliot in their life.

Another notification soon popped up in his mind, telling him that he had gained internal vision—an ability that allows one to peek inside of them. He immediately turned to focus on the changes in his body. He noticed that he had gotten several pounds heavier but thought nothing much of it.

Not just that, there were grey blues lines in his body, one too similar to a person’s vein. Each of them had an entrance in front of them, closed and waiting for him to open them. With a single glance, he realized that they must be a magician’s energy channel. He could also feel a golden line. It was the celestial energy channel! There was a blue line there too.

“How does a magician open their energy channels?” Elliot hadn’t read many records related to this subject, so he was a bit clueless, appearing like a chicken in a wide field.

[I believe that one must direct magic energy towards the entrance of one of them and force it open. However, if too much force is used, one might end up destroying or damaging it, causing immense pain and crippling their potential. I advise the Champion to look for some books about this subject before taking any action.]

“Ah, I guess I’ve no choice.” Elliot sighed. He regretted not spending time in the library, reading about stuff. In the classes, the instructors were still going on about lectures useful to brats in the magical realm and not him.

“Well, at least I can open one of them.” A needle appeared in between his slender, white, but crude fingers. He got it as a reward for becoming the champion of the tournament. The item held the ability to open a magician’s energy channel. He just needed to poke the entrance with its tip.

“Thanks to the internal vision technique, I already know where the entrance to my energy channels is. Though, the needle only has enough medicinal power to open one of them. Which one’s the best choice?”

Elliot pondered for a few moments. In the end, he decided to strengthen his strong point. By opening the energy channel in any one of his legs, he would be able to temporarily increase his speed. How does that work? He didn’t know! But he had heard about it, and he believed he would soon find out by experiencing it himself.

He picked up the needle and brutally stabbed it three inches below his thigh. Its tip pierced through his skin and touched at the entrance of a blue line that was right centimeters under his flesh. In the very next moment, a great amount of medicinal essence surged out of its tip, smashing onto the entrance of the energy channel.

Bam!

The force was great enough to blast open the entrance but several cracks formed on the energy channel, bringing him immense pain, making him feel as if a vicious person had used a dagger to cut him seven times. Of course, he winced in pain. However, his eyes widened as the pain vanished. A part of the medicinal essence enveloped his energy channel, healing the cracks. The rest of it went inside of it through the open entrance, nourishing it. At first, it looked like a withered Persimmon, but thanks to the nourishing provided by the medicinal essence, it quickly expanded to look like a healthy one.

[You’ve opened your first energy channel.]

[You’ve entered the first level of the channel opening stage.]

[Level: 1/12.]

[You’ve nourished it entirely and reached the peak of the first level.]

[Your maximum energy capacity has increased by a hundred points.]

The notifications were enough to make him understand that everything had gone as planned. Slowly and carefully, he pulled out the needle from his flesh, along came out a bit of blood. His injuries healed at a rate visible to the naked eye. The needle had lost its previous shine and needed to be bathed in the medicinal essence extracted from gods know what herbs to regain its ability to open an energy channel. It was now useless, and he stored it back in his spatial bracelet.

Then, he once again shifted his focus back to his body. When he closed his eyes, he could see his bloodstream in full detail! Maybe this is the power that comes with awakening? In his bloodstream, he saw red blood cells with black dots in their center and streaks of grayish-green lines all over them. He could instinctively tell that if he pours magic energy or any type of energy into them, he would be able to manifest his superpowers!

Just when he started to direct spiritual energy out of his celestial energy channel towards his bloodstream, a black screen with golden words up in his mind.

[You just need to think of manifesting your superpower, and the mutated cells in your body will suck an appropriate amount of energy from your body to realize your thoughts.]

“Ah!” Elliot did just that, and immediately he felt a ball of poison forming in the center of his stomach. It wasn’t harmful to him, and he wondered whether his thoughts alone would be enough to pull it towards his desired place. He focused all his intention on it and tried to move it towards his throat, wanting to spew it out of his mouth in the same fashion as a dragon spewing out its flame.

“Mmm!”

However, thanks to his intense concentration, it had just levitated three inches above his stomach when he heard a yawn, one that seduced him, causing his concentration to shatter apart. Elliot’s eyes snapped open, and he saw that Lucy had woken up, and she was reflexively yawning, expressing her tomboyish side.

Plop! Meanwhile, the ball of poison dropped back to the pits of his stomach, bursting apart, passing through his organs, flesh, and bones, and so on, without harming them and seeping out of his pores!

“Oh, shit!” Elliot exclaimed, and Lucy turned to look at him. Her eyes were still weary, and she was a bit muddled.

However, the moment she saw his bare upper body, her eyes widened. He had packs rippling abs rippling down his chest, which was wide enough to hold all of her. Not to mention, an oily liquid was coming out of his pores, highlighting his manliness. Add on the fact that said fluid ate away at what he wore to cover his precious sword and dragon balls, and one would be able to tell what Lucy, who was a virgin and had never seen a man things would feel.

“Kiya!” Her face turned scarlet, and she yelped. Honestly, she appeared too cute. She was afraid and embarrassed. The latter was because this was her first time seeing a man naked, and Elliot was such a fine specimen that her thoughts turned spicy! Undoubtedly, she had thought of something indecent. The former was because his thing was too big, appearing as magnificent and broad as a heavy long sword. ‘Why is it so big? Is it even possible for a woman to take it inside of her?’
