"Thirteenth Step!"
Chun Ma felt his arms torn asunder, and his legs refused to move even a little. They were crying in pain and agony, so he had to close his eyes for a bit.
At the same time this happened, his regeneration was taking place, and his body was recovering, growing stronger. His <Genius> skill activated, and his body growth increased.
He took another step and a long breath to rest for five solid minutes before taking another step and resting again.
The children silently looked at him with stunned expressions before grinning:
"Hee, this guy is arrogant for no reason, even though he couldn’t handle it, so he’s taking so much time to rest."
"Haha, even a genius can be greedy, huh."
They bloated, and the happiest of them all was the little twerp. He looked at Chun Ma with evil eyes:
"You made a grave mistake, you bastard."
Chun Ma felt the killing intent from behind him and thought to himself, ’Sigh, people never learn their lesson.’
Anyway, he continued on his path, his body growing slightly stronger and stronger.
The people behind him quickly overtook him, and Chun Ma was at last soon enough.
But...
As they climbed higher and higher, the number of people slowly started to dwindle because they were simply too tired.
Chun Ma was incredibly slow but was the steadiest one, with his pace increasing instead of decreasing.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the two suns in the sky were already on the horizon.
Chun Ma took a deep breath and reached the peak of the hill with heavy breaths.
’Sigh, even with <Genius> skill and all my other titles, it is still too much.’
He sighed. There were already fifteen people who had reached the peak, even that twerp was included in this.
As for the others, they were still a little further away from him. The last one was Number 1, who was halfway up the mountain.
After Chun Ma reached the peak, he sat on the ground to calm his surging thoughts.
Just then, he was handed a book by the bearded instructor:
"Here."
Chun Ma raised his brows and curiously looked at the instructor, who replied:
"This is a book that trains the body by drawing the Qi from the surroundings, one of the basics of the Martial Artist."
"I see."
He took the book and flipped through the pages for a brief glance:
"Can I take this book?"
"It is yours to take; everyone has it already."
The bearded instructor shrugged and looked at the people who were crawling on the floor with a ferocious expression:
"If you don’t reach the peak before the moon rises, then there will be no food for you."
That motivated the people under almost instantly, but barely ten people could reach here, and the rest were still crawling on the floor, trying desperately to reach it. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Chun Ma sat cross-legged and opened the book. His skill <Accelerated Comprehension> went to work, and he already understood the essence of the book after a minute, but still kept looking.
Contemplating, questioning, solving!
These three things were being done rapidly in his head.
"I see what a unique way of using Qi. If this were Mana, then it wouldn’t be possible, but with Qi, it’s possible."
It was a relatively simple technique, circulating the Qi through the vessels in a certain pattern and gradually opening all the meridians in the body; you didn’t even have to establish a core for it.
But at the same time, a thought emerged in his mind:
"What if I merge Qi and Mana together?"
He could do this with the help of his <Mana Share> skill.
So, he immediately went to work by asking the main body to supply him with mana.
Qi was sticky in nature, and Mana was freely flowing; two similar energies but completely different at the same time!
What would happen?
The moment mana began to manifest within him, he immediately sought to merge it with the Qi from the outside world.
He formed a hand sign, shaping it like a ball, and inside, two swirling lights, one green and the other blue, danced and clashed together.
This process lasted only a few seconds before a new, flickering light appeared in his vision, glowing with a deep purple hue.
It contained the combined properties of both Mana and Qi!
