Chapter 14
When he went back to his room, Noah felt tired .
Even if the meeting of today was short and only half of the morning passed, the depletion of "Breath" from his body caused tiredness to envelop him .
'To think that with just that little "Breath" that I have I can make a blunt weapon cut, I wonder how much more powerful the twin saber style can be with an actual dantian . It's understandable why cultivators give so much importance to the dantian; if it can accumulate a higher quantity and quality of "Breath" every technique the user use will be exponentially more powerful . The difference will be really too big . '
Sitting on his bed he engraved the sensation of the execution of his last attack .
'That sharpness of mind must be my normal state from now on, no! It must be my starting point! I can't rely only on the sheer quantity of my mental energy I must also refine it in an orderly way in order to speed up my thoughts and my learning process . '
One of his biggest secrets was that his mental energy was progressing at an astonishing rate, in these 6 months since he started training it he raised of half an hour the time he could stay in a training session . The effects of this increase were evident as he would learn faster every lesson his Master imparted him and his ability in manipulating the "Breath" became more precise and smooth .
Inside his sea of consciousness at the center of the sphere, there was a slight disturbance in the space above the sea . It seemed that something was about to appear but could still not consolidate itself .
'During this week, I must focus completely on the Forging of Seven Hells and on increasing my mental energy . Training in the twin saber style will be used as a rest when I need to take a break . I can't lose any more time . '
Deciding himself on the new schedule for this week he immediately got to work and used all his attention to read and memorize the body-nourishing method .
At night he practiced hard on the Kesier rune .
In the morning he spent some time in meditation, trying to maintain the sharpened state his mind experienced with his Master, then he would practice the forms on the twin saber style for about 2 hours . The rest of the day was dedicated to the memorization of the nourishing method and the night was used to increase his mental energy .
Like this, days went by till the day before the appointment with William .
As per instructions, Noah didn't practice the martial art nor trained with the Kesier rune but spent the day reading the Seven Hells tome and focusing his mind to sharpen it .
During lunchtime, he went to see his mother .
Noah knocked at his mother door lightly saying with a firm voice:
"Mum it's me, I got something to talk to you . "
After some moments, the door opened and Lily's figure appeared with a radiant smile and said happily:
"It's so rare for you to look for me, I believe that if it wasn't for your need to eat you would spend all your time training . "
Noah instinctively looked at her body before focusing again his eyes on her face smiling lightly .
'4 more since the last time I saw her . '
His father was growing more violent as time passed, and Noah had the sensation that it was linked with his success in entering the guards .
"It is actually about training . I will go on a special training with my Master tomorrow and he said that it will take a week or so for it to be completed . So I'm not coming back here starting tomorrow . "
Lily instantly got worried and wanted to ask more about this training but then realized that her son had somewhat changed . His eyes were more focused, his presence was more imposing, he seemed like a rock standing in a river constantly resisting the flow of water .
She knew her son . She knew that he had decided to take part in this training and that nothing will make him change his mind, so she limited herself to touch his cheek and ruffle his hair a bit .
"Promise me that you won't do anything reckless or dangerous . "
"Don't worry mum, my Master will be with me all the time and he is really strong so there is no real danger that can affect me . "
