Chapter 18 Manifesting mana.
In the mind space Kai kept pushing himself as he tried again and again to push outward his mana and failing while also swinging the sword and trying not to fall due to the increasingly more painful soul training
Right now it felt like there was lava instead of organs and all of it was tingling Kai was holding down his teeth so hard he feared that they would break and created a mouth guard for himself and bit down on it
Finally after another hour
[Sword Arts completed]
[Sword arts Become proficient in the use of a sword allowing increased damage and speed]
[Sword arts level 1]
[Sword technique Ungraded]
Kai sighed and stopped with the sword training as he said "Ten thousand damn sword swings And whats basic?"
[Technique ranks are many but the main four are Ungraded Normal Spirit Earth Heaven yours is the weakest of them all the most useless and most unused kind]
Kai sighed and said "but its my own creation does that do anything?"
[You are correct you did gain 2 attribute points because its your own art but it is an Ungraded rank so its less than useless even but either way this is the correct path]
[Your current status is]
[Name Kai]
[Strength 10 current limit]
[Intelligence 4]
[Speed 10 current limit]
[Charm Locked]
[Perception 4]
[Agility 8]
[Defense 10 current limit]
[Mental Fortitude 10 current limit]
[Endurance 10]
[Mana 550 out of 550]
[Body Status 0.5 percent out of 100 percent]
[Attribute Points 4]
Kai smiled inwardly at his status still biting down on the mouth guard after all the soul training had not stopped but he said in his mind "S So about that charm"
[As I said have you even talked to a female outside of your family]
Kai replied "W well no but"
Kai stopped speaking and just sighed disappointedly giving up and sat within one of the water paths he made and completely submerged himself to his surprise he could swim against the current with ease
Kai wondered why
While the system reminded him by showing old notifications
[Emergency Quest Complete]
[Reward Ability to Swim God Eyes Bloodline Rank Up]
Kai growled and said "Damn you I completely forgot about that Anyway I used to see some symbols above people with the God Eyes and a number whats that about am I high enough rank to see it"
[Incorrect your level is 1.9 right now you are about to break through to the second system level]
Kai sighed and said "fine lets see what ill get"
[Nothing but another attribute point]
Kai ignored the so called Heavenly Bloodline System and started to circulate his mana again through his body this time with force trying to push it out of his body with much effort and somehow he got a new notification
[New skill unlocked Mana Steel Body]
[Mana Steel Body]
[While infusing your body with mana you are able to infuse your entire body with it to create a body with the same durability as metal]
Kai only smiled and said "not the right skill"
But then he wondered and finally said "show me all of my skills"
[Host skills will no longer be split into different areas but all in one area called cultivation skills]
[Cultivation skills]
[Mana control level 1 allows the host to flow their mana through their body enhancing specific parts of the body]
[Sword arts level 1 allows the host to have proficiency in wielding a sword]
[Inspect level 1 allows the host to view a short or detailed summary of a target or an in depth one depending on intent]
[World Language allows the host to understand and communicate in any language]
[Condition must have a rudimentary understanding of the language]
[Mark 0 out of 5 Locked allows the host to mark individuals enabling shared vision and location tracking allies or enemies can be marked with a unique scent only the host can detect]
[Silent Movement Locked silences the natural sounds of a human while active breathing footsteps etc]
[Shifting Tide level 1 allows the host to change their physical appearance at will]
[Regeneration level 1 allows the host to heal his body for the cost of energy or mana]
[That is mostly it for now but expect this list to rapidly grow in the future]
Kai smiled in his mind and said "Im happy with that"
Kai then hummed as he still tried to push out his mana with no effort and then suddenly a new notification appeared
[The month only has 19 days left and you have yet to finish your monthly task this is your first reminder]
Kai stared "I forgot about that hell I didnt even open it"
[Monthly Task]
[Gain at least 3 new skills Completed]
[You have completed your monthly task would you like to claim your rewards]
Kai stared dumbfounded and burst into laughter the mouth guard flying out before he suddenly yelped as the soul training was still going and it got stronger and he said "DAMN IT"
Kai sighed and grabbed the mouth guard again and bit down on it and said "mhm claim"
[Your reward for completing monthly tasks is a new skill called basic forging]
[Basic forging allows the host to forge weapons of the Normal class with enough practice and very high materials to even a Spirit class weapon]
Kai stared and said "Normal I get whats Spirit class"
[Rankings for weapons in your world are]
[Normal Spirit Earth Heaven Divine]
Kai hummed finally understanding how weak he truly is
[You are right now what would be called a jack of all trades]
Kai said "why would that be"
[You are able to learn many skills for a normal person with your Earth class bloodline]
Kai sighed finally happy and said "I am progressing pretty fast"
After a while
Ding
[5 hours of soul training completed]
[24 hours are left for you to wake up]
[Due to your excessive soul training you can now wield both Spirit and Earth ranked weapons while before you would have died]
[Your soul body integrity is rapidly rising there are 24 hours left for you to wake up]
Kai smiled as he felt the fading soul training disappearing and the mouth guard disappeared and he flexed his jaws
