Chapter 363 Disrupting The Assessment
363 Disrupting The Assessment
When absorbing energy, it wasn't instant that it would be added to his own. There was a process which took some time. He could still use the added energy almost instantly, but it wouldn't actually be completely absorbed into his own if he used it this way. During the times he had used the extraction technique again and again, he had been experimenting with it. Absorbing energy from those he fought against, if he used it straight away, it helped him fight using Qi for longer periods, but if he wanted to gain strength from it, It was best that he didn't fight and waited for it to be processed through his body and added to his dantian, and now it had finally done it. All of the extra people he had absorbed and the main disciples' Qi, which was more pure and more refined compared to that of most of those he had absorbed before, was causing him to break into the sixth stage. The palms of Raze's hands were sweating. Down the side of his head, it was the same. Instead of a clear liquid, it was slightly black in color. Just like the times before, he could tell that this was the same. Each stage was getting rid of more of the impurities that affected the human body, and each time it would just happen in a different way. 'Is he going through to the next stage right here and now? Is it because he absorbed the mana of the two girls?' Dame thought. 'No that can't be. Raze is at a high initial stage now.'
'Those girls, they were at stage 3 or 4, that means he must have absorbed much more, much more before he had even come down here. Raze, what happened to you while you were away?' Dame thought. It was amazing; Raze had practically not taken part in the assessment but had managed to grow even faster than those who had done so.
This had to be an impossibility, and if people knew about it, clans from all over Pagna would be trying to meet with Raze, dissecting him to ask for his secret and knowledge in growth. "Arghh, it hurts my stomach!" Liam called out. Turning his head, though, Dame also saw something else, and that was Liam, Simyon, Safa going through something similar, but he soon noticed it wasn't just them. The others, Tinson and his group that were eating, they were experiencing it as well. All of those who had eaten were experiencing the advancement to the next stage. 'They fought with everything they had, pushed their bodies further than they were meant to go. With no food, no energy, they had to summon and force their bodies to grow from somewhere, but that can only work so much.'
'After digesting the food, their Qi energy, their focus, everything is coming back to them, and now, their bodies are in the state to grow to the next stage.' It was then that Dame realized this was how the others must have grown as well; only when they had gotten food by eating the others around them. 'This is what we need, this is it. To get them stronger, we need everyone to eat for now!' Dame's eyes were widening, but there was one thing.
What about him? Now that Raze would be at the sixth stage, both of them would be at the same level in terms of being a Pagna warrior. He too needed to advance, and he needed to do something about it. After Raze had finished going through what needed to be done, he stood up as if nothing had happened, and continued to head to the seclusion room. When he got inside, he looked around before finally sitting on the floor. He let out a big sigh and started to close his eyes. 'I managed to come back, just in time... I did a bit too much this time, one thing after the other, but I knew I needed to come back quickly. I was a bit worried that something might have happened to them.' He thought. Finally, Raze was able to get some rest.
Back in the lit-up training area, everyone had finished going through their advancement and had finished eating until their bellies were full. It didn't take much for them, since their stomachs had shrunk quite a bit from the lack of food they had. They also knew that they would have to save what they had for now. Even more than that, they were happy that they had managed to gain some strength. "I can't believe it, we advanced through to the fourth stage!" Liam said, his eyes glowing. "But don't forget what it cost to get here," Safa replied. "So many students, so many people had to die for that to happen."
"We can be happy we gained strength but, I can't believe it took all of that." "Hey, why don't you go talk to Raze?" Simyon said. "You've been waiting for him to come back, right? Maybe you can just ask what he did and stuff, and how he got this food."
"I'm sure he's got some stories to tell, and hey, maybe you can show off your magic skills as well." Safa knew Simyon was just trying to comfort her, but she was fine. "I'm happy to see that he's still here, and I'm sure he needs his rest. He looked tired." "You call that tired?!" Liam commented. "That man just took out so many, and even the main disciples. I'm sure he could have continued going on if he needed to." Safa didn't say anything else but just allowed Liam to ramble on.
It took a while, but eventually both Mada and Ricktor had decided to go to the food and grabbed some stuff to eat for themselves. Dame, who had been keeping an eye on them, smiled as soon as he saw this. "Does this mean that you plan to join him?" Mada whispered. "What do you mean, you are eating the food as well; doesn't that mean you plan to join him as well?" Ricktor replied, stuffing another piece of bread in his mouth. "I'm just doing this to survive right now; I need the food," Mada replied. "The whole thing about him going back against the Academy, it seems crazy!"
"Sure, I hate their guts right now, but to even think about going against them, it would be impossible. We're still students; that would mean going against all of the Clan Heads."
"Not just the Clan Heads, but also their talented disciples, that might even be family members of ours. Do you really think a bunch of students can do something?"
"Do you think Raze doesn't know that? Do you think he's the type of person to go in if he believes he will lose?" Ricktor replied. "The way I see it, without this food in here, or if he and his friends were to take this assessment seriously." "Me and you would be dead; that's as simple as it is. If we have to die later, or things get too tough, we can make a decision then, but right now, we owe him something."
"And I believe something might just happen soon." "What do you mean by that?" Mada asked. "Didn't you know, Lisa was regularly communicating with her Clan Head in here; how do you think she got that dagger?" Ricktor replied. "And what do you think is going to happen when Lisa stops reporting to the Clan Head?"
