My Dragon System

Chapter 58: Accident

Chapter 58:Accident

After seeing the message I went and opened up my status screen. The screen showed that it really had increased my mana pool, underneath my name were before it displayed 0/0 for mana, it now displayed 1/1.

The old man was right in saying that mana was like Ki. To the system it treated them as the same thing.

I went over to the old man who was still lying on the floor. I lifted his body so he was now lying on his back rather than his front. I placed my ear against his chest to see if could hear a heartbeat. Then I went to check his breath.

Thankfully he was still breathing and his heart was still beating. The old man was teaching me and I would of hated to have killed him in the process. He was also an elder of the academy, there was no way anyone would believe me if I was to tell them what happened. The whole kingdom would be after my blood.

While I waited for the old man to wake up, I thought about the incident that just took place. What had made the skill activate on its own? Nothing had happened when he touched me before, it only started when he tried to move his Ki flow into me. Then the notification sound came.

Maybe the system was trying to help me? But this in itself was a scary thought, if the system had a mind of its own it meant it wasn't being controlled by me.

I looked towards the old man, he no longer looked to be in pain and was now happily snoring away. I watched the old man for a while thinking he would wake up soon, after five minutes it didn't look like that was happening any time soon.

I didn't want to waste my time waiting for the old man. At the same time I didn't want to wake him up. It felt like I had stolen something from him so the least I could do was let him rest.

I decided to practice the Ki flow on my own. I sat down in the middle of the floor and activated my dragon eyes skill. It was easier to see the flow moving around inside my body this way. I closed my eyes and tried to feel and gather the energy inside me. Slowly I could sense small glowing green particles all around my body, I started to gather them towards my stomach until it formed a small pea-sized ball. This was the Ki flow the old man was talking about.

I slowly tried to use my will to move the flow to different parts of my body just as the man did. I felt an odd feeling and suddenly the flow dissipated.

It seemed if I stopped focusing for a single moment the flow would disappear.

I kept on repeating this process until I could move the flow freely around my body. I found that the flow was easier to control the smaller I made it. At first, I was only able to control the size of a pea around my body, after a while I was able to control the size of a fist.

I was unable to use the Ki flow to activate my cells like the old man though and with him still sleeping away I had no way to ask. I decided then to just see how big of a Ki flow I could gather inside my body.

The flow went from a pea to a fist to than a small football. When it reached the size of a ball my body started to shake. My muscles began to twitch, my organs felt like they were on fire and sweat begin to run down my body. The energy felt unstable like it wanted to be released back into small particles again.

A dull pain could be felt around my whole body but it was bearable.

The system had appeared with another message, was the internal force the Ki I was gathering in my body?

The system had never done harm to me before so I started to come to trust it. Whenever it would pop-up it had always helped me. So I decided to select yes.

Then suddenly a force from outside started to gather in my body as well. The football sized Ki had grown slightly. The problem was now the dull pain had become stronger. It felt like any second now my muscles would tear apart.

More Sweat was running down my face. I wanted to stop the Ki flow but didn't know how, it felt like if it didn't leave my body it would just explode.

"What are you doing!" The old man shouted.

The old man quickly ran over towards me and placed his hand on my back. This time it felt like the Ki flow was being taken away from me. The flow was quickly leaving my body and at the same time, the pressure on my body started to go.

The old man started to sweat, his hand then left contact with my back. I didn't see what he did but then a loud bang was heard.

It was as if someone had shot a cannon inside the martial arts hall. As I turned around to see what had happened, the old man stood there panting for air with his fist held out as if he was punching the air. It looked as if steam was coming from his whole body.

When I went to look at where his fist was aimed at, I could see the street outside.

A circle hole had been made in the building's wall. The wall had completely broken to the point where you could see the street.

"You stupid boy! you could have gotten yourself killed!"

As I heard the man's words my vision started to blur, then slowly blackness filled my eyes.
