Chapter 33
"Your body was glowing. And it felt like I was in the presence of the Alpha King himself there for a moment, what in the world happened?" Jurgen exclaimed.
"It seems like you levelled up?" Karl’s tone makes it a question "Like you broke through a bottleneck and got a qualitative change in your abilities?"
I think he’s right, whatever starting level we were at, I’m one beyond that now, my physical abilities have gained a noticeable amount at the very least.
Karl reports the situation to the other group over the radio, only to hear that Mary is currently in the middle of the same thing.
Energy was simply pouring into her, surrounding her in mana and she was freaking out a bit, not knowing what was going on. I guess there’s slight differences between the advancements of magical and physical cultivators.
"See if you can control the energy in your body more freely now too" Karl asks me with a notebook in his hand, rather reminding me of Mary’s enthusiasm for all things new knowledge.
Circulating the energy in my body, I find that the process is far easier than it used to be, and the flow is quicker. Pushing it through to my sword is less effort, but the effect seems unchanged.
I’ll need to combat test it to see if the quality of the energy makes a real difference in combat effectiveness. After a few minutes of experiments while we walk, I find that I can make it cover my lower arms, but anything more than that is a huge effort.
This information gives the Ramirez brothers a great idea when we share our findings over the radio though. They’re thinking that if they can get their internal energy to the point where it can be used to cover the entire body it could be used in place of a mage’s protective spell.
