Chapter 20: Soul-Body Synchronization
Kai's daily routine had now become clear and unwavering: build and solidify the pillars—one after another. With only two months left before the academy trials, he poured all his energy into the training space, where time flowed differently. Sixty days in the real world translated to six hundred days within.
That should have been more than enough—or so he believed.
Thanks to his Eternal Frost Sovereign bloodline, his body adapted with rare efficiency. What once seemed an impossible feat—forming all nine divine pillars—now felt almost destined.
With unwavering focus, Kai forged the second pillar and solidified it through sheer will, channeling energy with precise control. This was the Flesh Tempering Pillar, and as he completed it, he felt his body become tighter, stronger—refined.
But he didn't stop.
Driven by determination and the quiet ticking of time, he pressed forward:
The third pillar... Muscle Binding.
The fourth... Blood Essence Activation.
The fifth... Nerve Refinement.
