Noah was in the torture room below the guards' building, tied to the metal table .
A black and smelly liquid came out from his body as he absorbed "Breath" in the point where his acupoints once were .
Noah had already predicted that situation so he was calm during the process even though some scream was still yelled from time to time .
Assea's figure was hidden under the clothes on his lower body and was waiting patiently for the process to be over .
A huge amount of "Breath" was being accumulated in Noah's body, strengthening and refining it .
The process lasted for about ten minutes before he could finally form the new acupoints .
These acupoints were crystalline and seemed incredibly sturdy .
They absorbed "Breath" at an unimaginable speed and Noah felt an immense surge of power coming from his body .
He nodded to William that was at his side and he undid the bindings to set Noah free .
A smile was on William's face as he saw that his disciple was finally released from that dangerous technique .
"You really did it . "
He patted Noah's shoulder uncaring of the filth on it .
Noah nodded again happily, he wanted to test his new power right away but his mental energy was almost completely depleted and he could not sense things accurately .
However, before he managed to bow to his Master, something unexpected happened .
A strange sensation hit his low waist and a small empty ball formed there .
Noah touched the spot but felt no uneasiness in having this new organ .
William noticed his behavior and inspected the spot where he was pointing .
His mouth opened and his eyes widened, he put one hand on his head and exclaimed in a soft voice .
"That is not possible . "
Noah looked at his Master's expression and was confused, then an idea hit his mind and he widened his eyes too .
"Don't tell me?"
William nodded and carefully inspected the spot again .
"Your dantian formed . "
Noah was stunned but then he exulted loudly .
A wave of pain was delivered from his tired head which forced him to calm down .
"But Master, I'm only thirteen and a half years old . Last time you spoke about gaining months not a whole year . "
William mumbled with himself for a little before answering .
"Rank 1 mage, rank 2 body for most of your growth and now rank 3 body . I told you that the centers of power were linked but I never thought they could be influenced this much . "
Noah's thoughts were slow since he had just done the treatment and could not keep up with his Master's reasoning .
He was still inspecting the new organ when he thought of something .
"Does it means that now I can know my element?"
William nodded but then he shook his head and put a stern expression .
"First, go wash and rest, I'll make the needed preparation in the meantime . Meet me here tomorrow morning . "
Noah was a bit unwilling to go and wanted to ask more question but another wave of pain hit him so he decided to follow his Master's order .
He bowed deeply, there was only gratitude toward the man in front of him .
"It's only thanks to you that I am growing this much . So thank you, Master!"
William looked at the young man covered in filth and memories about him emerged .
The first time he received the command to take him as a disciple he thought that he would be some kind of nanny but Noah surpassed every expectation that he had for him .
He had to admit that his disciple made him proud beyond reason .
William ruffled his dirty hair a bit and smiled .
"Just go now, we will talk more tomorrow . "
Noah left and the happy expression on William's face transformed in a worried one .
'This time I really can't cover you . '
When Noah woke up the next day he could clearly feel the changes in his body .
He felt an incredible vitality coming from it and when he checked the amount of "Breath" he had he was astonished .
'This is enough for more than one hundred attacks!'
Then he remembered the dantian event and his excitement built up .
'I wonder how the training will work and there is even the question about my element . '
He hurriedly went into the guards' building and then in the underground prison .
William was waiting for him with a small book and a transparent stone as big as a fist .
"Read this, it is a rank 1 cultivation technique for the dantian, it has no limitation to the element of the user so it's perfect to determine the cultivator's attitude . Every family uses it . "
Noah took the book and hastily read it .
It was a simple respiration method to be done in a fixed position, with his status as a rank 1 mage he memorized it instantly .
"Ready?"
William asked and Noah nodded in response .
William then gave the stone to Noah and explained .
"This is a Pharos stone . It has the peculiar characteristic of changing color based on the element of the "Breath" that passes through it . Put it on your waist and start meditating in the cultivation technique, your body will naturally absorb the element of your attitude, changing its color . '
Noah didn't waste any time and sat on the ground in the cross-legged position indicated in the technique .
He put the stone on his waist and began to practice .
The "Breath" moved toward his body and entered the small empty dantian, filling it with a gaseous substance .
As the gaseous "Breath" entered the dantian, it pressed on its surface, enlarging it .
The pace was slow but also relaxing, Noah felt a bit more refreshed every time his dantian was charged .
After about one hour, William's voice sounded .
"You can stop . "
Noah looked at his Master's face and saw that he had a worried expression .
Then he lowered his gaze on the stone on his waist .
