My Cultivation System

Chapter 162 - Stage 2 Muscle Strengthening Realm

Henrick almost completed one of his daily missions but still, there was some pure internal fire energy left in his dantian; however, that didn't bother him much as he had many ways to waste his pure internal fire energy.

'It is hard to form pure internal fire energy; however, it is easy to spend it,'

Henrick jokes to himself as he focused on his next daily mission.

'Circle the 'Blazing sun sutra' for 10 times,'

Henrick muttered to himself as he started circulating it and with each circulation, he gained 1 percent of pure internal fire energy.

'Phew... nowadays, it is easy to circulate the cultivation technique for 10 times,'

Henrick remembered when he almost felt like dying when he tried to circulate the cultivation technique five times without a break.

However, for the same pain he felt back then, he could circulate 12-15 times.

'Ding,

     Circulate 'The Blazaing Sun Sutra' foro 10 times. (Completed)

'Now, it's time for the most difficult daily mission,'

He didn't waste any time as he directly decided to complete the next daily mission which was the most difficult one among the three.

'Start'

Soon, he slowly started refining all his muscles with his pure internal fire energy.

'Uff...uff'

By the time he finished one complete cycle of muscle refinement, he was gasping for air.

'Even though it is still painful, it is not that much compared to before,'

Henrick was able to easily notice the changes from before as he felt his body's endurance had grown very much with the help of 'Endurance' skill.

'I will take a break for some time,'

After thinking that, he thought to take a break and asked the system, 'System, show me my dantian.'

'Ding,

    Dantian:- Pure internal fire energy (19 percent / 200 percent)

'Oh. One refinement consumed 2 percent,'

After seeing the system notification, Henrick noticed that it took 2 percent of his muscle strengthening compared to 1 percent in the beginning.

'Nevermind, I have to empty my dantian, anyway,'

Henrick felt it was a good thing as he took a break for an hour.

'Time to continue the refining,'

Soon, he was back to his muscle refinement.

'Aargh'

However, just as he started he felt a heavy pain wherever his pure internal fire energy moved to.

'I need to endure it...as long as I refine my muscles and reach stage 2, my body will be strong enough to complete the ascending trial,'

Henrick had his own reasons to complete this difficult daily mission as it would help him in the trial.

One he completes the ascending mission, he could reach level 1 challenger rank then he could know the prices of the items he needed to buy.

So, he was so stubborn to complete it.

'I can do it,'

By now, Henrick was used to enduring the pain and was able to slowly move the pure internal fire energy to refine his muscles with it.

'Ding,

     Congratulations to the master for reaching rank 2 of the muscle-strengthening realm.

'Ding,

    Reach the rank 2 muscle strengthening realm. (Completed).

Soon, he got the two system notifications; however, he was in no position to concentrate on anything as his body was literally in pain.

Soon, he became unconscious as he fell sidewards.

'Swoosh'

The moment he fell asleep, the fire vine on his right hand glowed with orange colour as it grew a lot and reached 2 meters in length.

Still, it didn't unwrap from Henrick's hand as it continued to absorb the pure internal fire energy in its body.

With each passing minute, it continued to grow a couple of centimeters and after a couple of hours, Henrck's hand was completely covered by the orange colour fire vine.

However, by the time the orange coloured light disappeared, there was another noticeable change to that fire vine and it was a new green coloured leaf that appeared at one end of the fine.

'Zap zap'

After it completely absorbed the pure internal energy inside its body, it looked at its surroundings as the leaf on its head fluttered a little. 

'Swoosh'

After that, it saw that Henrick was asleep with a pale face and it immediately touched Henrick's head with its leaf.

The moment the leaf touched his head, the pale look on Henrick's face had completely gone and replaced with a lively look.

However, he still didn't open his eyes.

As for the fire vine, the green coloured leaf on the fire vine first turned into red and later it turned into black colour.

Finally, it turned into a speck of light as it disappeared and there was no trace of that leaf.

Soon, the fire vine went back to sleep while wrapping around Henrick's hand.

'Huh?'

After some time, Henrick opened his eyes and rubbed his head before looking at the 5-meter long fire vine which was wrapping around his left hand.

'You absorbing all the energy and grew so big already,'

Henrick was excited at the rapid growth of the fire vine.

'But, you are still in the rank 2 only. Nevermind, even I am also in the muscle-strengthening realm,'

Henrick shook his head as he caressed the fire vine.

Henrick felt that after absorbing 50 percent of the pure internal fire energy from his dantian, the fire vine would break through to rank 3.

Nevertheless, he was already satisfied that the fire vine was as strong as he was.

"There is still some pure internal fire energy left for you. Go and consume it,"

Since he had to empty his dantian to finish the last daily mission, he gave permission for the fire vine to consume some more pure internal fire energy.

'Ding,

    Empty the dantian (Completed).

Just as he gave the permission to consume the pure internal fire energy, the fire vine entered into his dantian and consumed the whole 17 percent pure internal fire energy within a few moments and Henrick received the system notification.

'What did I do? Did my fire vine become some kind of monster or what?'

Henrick was shocked by the speed at which the fire vine absorbed his pure internal fire energy.

...

Inside the sect leader Gamos' cultivation abode,

"Since the outer sect yearly tournament is coming within a month, should I force my disciples to win in it?"

While the sect leader Gamos was searching about bloodline sealing techniques, he suddenly remembered something and thought about it.

"I think, it's finally time to repay your master. He lost all his power because of your reckless behaviour in the past and now staying away from the mountain. So, you need to do whatever it takes to help him,"

The sect leader Gamos was not thinking in his head. So, his uncle was able to hear his words and gave his thoughts on his earlier words.

"I am thinking the same,"

The sect leader Gamos nodded his head and agreed with his uncle's words.

"But making Henrick powerful with the cultivation resources is not good. We still don't know how to suppress his bloodline and if those old monsters find out about him, then even you can't save him. Moreover, if my master is here, we don't have to fear any of those old masters,"

The sect leader Gamos replied to his uncle as he came to a decision.
