Chapter 62: 62. Discovery and Training (part-2)
Kai thought about using the elemental energy to maintain his body like divine realm cultivators.
A divine realm cultivator didn't need to take food or water for them to stay active; they absorbed the Qi in the surroundings.
But the real reason they can live without food is that they are absorbing the elemental energy with the addition of Qi.
They can't directly absorb elemental energy like how Kai does using the Will Power; instead, Qi mixes elemental energy.
The elemental energy contains all the proteins and vitamins that are required by the body since the food we eat is indirectly created from them.
'Let's try this method' Kai decided to use this method since it wasn't risky, and he has used it for a long time.
The surrounding elemental energy started gathering near Kai, and it was absorbed into his body.
Kai didn't absorb them directly; instead, he used his Will Power to extract the components from them.
Although it was a little hard for Kai to do that, he pulled it off after six hours.
'Although I am not full, I'm not hungry either.'
After having a weird meal, Kai started practicing his Will Power control.
A month had passed, and Kai sat in the same meditative position.
'Phew! It was really hard to do this,' Kai thought about the difficulties during his training.
With the help of his Learning talent, Kai learned this easily and didn't take a long time; otherwise, he would spend more than 10 times as much time on it.
He can now use his Will Power like Qi, without any problems. He can also use his technique without Qi.
'Next, I should work on the Will Manifestation ability'
Kai decided to develop his first ability, Will Path; it is the most powerful ability he has acquired until now. Due to not having enough time and circumstances, he didn't use this ability to its full potential until now.
Kai had the idea to develop his own technique using the Will Manifestation ability.
Kai tried manifesting Will Power outside to form a layer of shield in front of him. He got this idea when the one-horned rabbit used a light element attack on him.
The Will Power appeared outside and formed a shield, but it wasn't refined enough to block an attack.
'I should add my thought or desire to make it stronger.'
He didn't make the same mistake again and started adding his Will to every manifestation to get familiar.
The invisible shield appeared before Kai's face, but it didn't look like a shield; instead, it looked like a piece of paper.
Kai didn't get discouraged, but instead added more Will to it. But no matter how much he added his Will, it didn't become thick; instead, it became even thinner.
'What is happening?' Kai thought in confusion as he did everything perfectly without any mistakes.
'Let's check its defense power in the first place' Kai thought and used a small amount of force to punch it.
The shield didn't break, and Kai increased his force. But no matter how much he increased his power, the shield didn't budge, and Kai didn't even leave a crack on it.
'So, that's how it works.' Kai found out the reason after experimenting with the shield.
The Will Power he manifested didn't make the shield denser; instead, it compressed the Will Power into a single layer, and it continued to compress with the addition of his Will on it.
'Wow, this application has very good potential to develop, and it won't become useless in the future either.' Kai thought happily.
The reason that he didn't learn any of the techniques from the Slaughter Palace is that they would become useless at some point when he became strong enough, and Kai didn't like that.
He had to learn another technique or develop the technique in the future, which he considers a hassle. So he decided to create a technique from the start to avoid wasting time.
The plan is to develop Will Shield to compress the Will Power until it doesn't exist in the real plane and make any attack useless.
After completing that, Kai plans to create a forbidden domain with it. In that domain, he is the absolute ruler and no one attack in the field without his Will.
But he won't be able to develop this technique at that level for now; for now, compressing the Will Power to the atomic level is impossible for Kai.
'Okay, let's get proficient in this technique' Kai started practicing this [Will Shield] technique and tried to compress the Will Power to his limit.
He wanted to compress the Will Power until it couldn't be sensed by any means, but he didn't even get close to the target.
'Seriously, how powerful is this technique?' Kai thought in amazement. Seeing that his goal was very high, he set a realistic goal and started focusing on it.
The Will Power compressed it until it became thin as paper, and Kai wasn't able to compress it anymore.
'It should resist an attack from a Tier 2 beast' Kai thought about the approximate defense capacity of the shield.
'Okay, let's try a multilayer shield.'
Kai tried creating another layer of shield in front of the previous one, and he successfully did it. He also created the third one without any problems, but when he tried creating the fourth one, he wasn't able to maintain the other one, and it fell apart.
'Okay, let's set forth as a target for this training.' Kai's competitive spirit kicked in, and he decided to break his limit.
Kai had many problems maintaining the four layers of shield around him. He can create four shields without any problem, but the defense of the shield reduces and creates trouble.
Kai tried creating again and again, but he only faced failure. But he improved every time it became visible to the naked eye; the shield became more refined, and his time to create it became less.
After training for another week, he managed to create a four-layered shield successfully.
'Well, it seems the learning ability is very good even at this level.'
