Chapter 150: CHAPTER 150 – Breakthrough.
"Let's get down to it now…..."
Alex muttered as he sat cross-legged in the gym of the villa.
'Is it going to damage the surroundings?' Alex questioned Sophia.
[If you can control your mana perfectly, then no.]
'I think I can do that,' Alex took a deep breath before he closed his eyes.
It had been almost a week since they returned back to their villa, and the suppression of Alex's power had been removed.
Alex had been stopping his progression for a while since the world's limit was still not broken, but after it broke, Alex had his power suppressed.
Now, however, his power had been released from suppression as the penalty was lifted and he could finally break through and reach the level above EX-rank.
'So, what should I do now?' Alex asked Sophia as he only had her who could tell him about it.
He could just buy a manual that tells him it, but why waste points when Sophia can tell him?
[You need to turn the mana flowing inside your body into strings like your veins.
They need to follow the blood flow as it would help in better circulation of mana along with blood.
But if even one of your mana strings inside of your body is in the opposite direction to your blood flow, it might cause harm to you.]
Sophia explained what Alex had to do.
'Tell me more about it,' Alex spoke as he looked inside himself.
All he could see was mana flowing around in his body aimlessly but with much more density than any normal person.
[Unlike normal power-ups, one needs to build up mana strings inside their body to progress further ahead.
These mana strings help in better circulation and control of mana by their host, and when it is said better, we are talking about 100 times better.
With better control over mana, one can cast spells faster, and with better circulation of mana in the body, the healing abilities of the body are improved along with several other things.
The circulation of blood along with mana also enriches the quality of the blood and longevity of the body.
Once a person breaks through EX-rank and enters the next rank, they can live up to 1000 years.
That's how much difference it had.]
Sophia paused for a bit letting her words sink into Alex's brain which was working more than it would do normally.
By now, Alex had already started pushing mana in the direction of the blood flow, and this was taking a considerable amount of focus as it was not an easy thing to do.
He had to guide or push every single particle of mana inside his body in a single direction.
To push mana in a direction he needed to burn some mana as well.
No work is done without energy and the energy he was using for moving the mana particles in an orderly manner was the other mana particles.
Alex needed so much focus as right now, he had to focus on a single particle that he was burning every time.
Why a single particle?
Alex had instant regeneration of mana, so the moment he burned a particle of mana, it regenerated.
That was why Alex decided to use a single particle of mana to do all the work, and it was taxing for his brain to keep an eye on the flow as well as take in the information Sophia was providing.
Sophia continued as she saw Alex nod his head.
[But that is just the start as the strings of mana that flow the mana like blood in your body also affect your skin.
Just like blood flowing and passing through the skin or any part of the body, the mana veins or strings do the same.
But unlike blood, mana is more potent, more nourishing, and more destructive, so the moment it passes through your skin and bones it breaks them and then nourishes them to make them better.
As the procedure continues, your body turns stronger than ever.
You will be strong enough to take the fully powered physical attack from any EX-ranked raider after you are done with the process.
Your skin and bones will have faster healing and your blood will be immune to many low-rank poisons as your blood can eliminate the less potent poisons on its own.
You might feel some pain when you do it, but I know you will be fine.]
Sophia paused again, and this time Alex questioned.
'I get all that, but how long will it take for me to form my mana veins?' This was the only thing Alex wanted to know as he didn't want to worry Alice, and Ann, who knew that he was doing something important.
He didn't tell them what he was doing, he just told them that he had to do something important and he didn't want to be disturbed unless it was a very important matter.
He had read those cultivation novels, and he had seen them going in seclusion for years, and he didn't want to do that as he knew both Alice and Ann might die of worry, not to talk about Noctura who didn't even know where he was.
Alice and Ann could just open the door and come in, but Alex had told them not to disturb him unless it was something very important, so even if they wanted to, they wouldn't come in thinking that it might disturb Alex.
They would just load themselves with worry.
[If it were a normal person, then it would take them around four or five days as one needs to compress a lot of mana to make even one string of mana, emptying their mana reserve in the process.
Then they will need to keep their focus on keeping the string together and not let it break until they recover mana to continue the process again.
But for you, it might just take hours as your mana will keep regenerating.
You need to make the mana flow correctly first then it's just the same process of making mana veins one after another, again and again, and again, and again….
It would be a boring process for you as you just need to continuously create strings rather than waiting with the half-constructed string with complete focus, scared that it might break off.
You really have it easy...]
Sophia sighed as she was reminded again just how much of a monster this guy was.
'Hours?!' But Alex's exclaimed inwardly.
'That's too long, I will do it in an hour or two.'
Alex spoke with determination as he started burning more of his mana to make the other particles flow perfectly.
But just as he increased the speed of the mana flow, his eyes widened as the next second...
