"...".

Soma sighed as he looked toward the windows and saw the black sky and its glittering stars that were shimmering, emitting a light that decorated the bleak sky.

Once again, he looked toward the pill using the monocle, and the description hadn\'t changed. It means that it was a genuine one. The pill that had been extracted from Phoenix.

"That\'s insane!".

Never had he ever thought that the being called Phoenix would found a trace of it, in front of him. True to what he knows about the tales that spread worldwide, he also read them in some books in the library. Once, in ancient times, there were many mythological beasts such as Phoenix or Dragon\'s that hailed as God roamed the land.

All those mythological beings were annihilated upon the coming of disaster, such as the Devil\'s invasion from another world that still haunted every person on the planet.

He shifted his attention toward the other one and found the blue pills in the vial were rather terrifying to find out. However, he wouldn\'t get an answer if he kept hesitating, so he returned the red one and took the blue one.

[Water Core(Legend{Growth}): A pill that was created from the dying wish of an ancient Dragon who governs over water. The Dragon\'s power condensed itself, turning into a Pill that contained its power if consumed. Only a person with Water affinity can consume the pill; if one dares try to test it, they will be engulfed by the terrifying pressure of water and die in the place]

"Okay, let\'s put these things aside and start the training".

The things that describe these two pills were something beyond comprehension. Soma couldn\'t predict what would happen from now on as the story was getting further away from the one he knew. But he didn\'t care about any of that. What matters to him is that he must gain strength to protect his loved ones.

Soma regulated his breathing while trying to collect his scattered mind. He took off the uniform of the Academy and changed into clothes that were easy to move.

His heart filled with intense excitement and anticipation as to what sort of feeling he would be experiencing after practising this breathing technique.

After ensuring everything was ready, he sat straight in the lotus position while holding a yellow pill that was as big as a tiny marble.

Slowly, as he put the pill in his mouth, it travelled down his throat, and it settled in his stomach; he began to focus and engage his core in slow and deep breathing, trying to synchronize with the surrounding natural energy.

His calm heart suddenly let out a thump that reverberated inside the empty room, and then, from his stomach, a faint golden light began to emit its presence, and Soma almost let his concentration break.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

[Extra Skill Adapt activated]

[Absorbing the raw energy from the pills]

Then, from the pit of his stomach, Soma felt an intense heat that burned his internal organs as it spread to all of his veins. Luckily, his extra skill helped him not to break off his focused mind.

The vivid heat that boiled his entire being evaporated, even the surrounding air around him. His body starts to let out steam from the sweat. Soma keeps doing his slow and deep breathing. However, he felt something different as the air filtered through his nose, Soma felt a nice and warm sensation flowing through.

Every time he inhaled, the natural energy that was entered through his nose spread to all of the veins in his body; from that alone Soma could feelt that it nourished them and gradually strengthened his constitution.

All that smooth operation began to face its roadblock; the energy he refined from the atmosphere stopped at some point in his body, delaying his training process. But, to his surprise, a golden light began to follow the energy path, and slowly, it melted the roadblock in its way, letting the natural energy flow through all his veins in circulation.

Each time it circulated, he felt his body invigorated both physically and mentally, and within his deep consciousness, Soma found himself standing in an empty space filled with a void.

Soma wondered what had happened to him; in front of him, he saw a single dot shine brightly; it created other dots that connected to each other like a constellation. From the nine stars of that constellation, a single star was lit brilliantly, and he felt a sudden gust of power burst apart within; it blew him away from his consciousness.

The room where he stayed shone brightly, filled with an intense light before the window in his room blasted open, letting out the lingering power that Soma leaked from his body.

Soma slowly stood up and slowly opened his eyes, submerging in his own euphoria as he could feel his body brimming with power.

[Successful in achieving a First Star]

[The status system starts to distort…]

[Stabilizing…10%...35%...]

[Stabilizing Complete]

[Status Window Stabilize]

Too many translucent windows appeared in front of his eyes, obstructing his view. However, upon closer look, some of them were rather worrying, but eventually, everything turned out fine.

"I am glad that it turned out well".

The moment Soma let out his guard down, a tangy, nasty smell lingered in the air before he inhaled it, making his face contort in disgust. It was like the pungent smell of some rotting waste that had submerged in the water for years, and that made me want to puke.

"What is this?!".

He looked toward the surrounding area and found many black substances beneath his feet. It was a black liquid that was a bit sticky, like a smile.

"Is this cleansing in the Wuxia novel talking about?".

Soma didn\'t have time to dilly-dally with this, so he rushed toward the entrance door and asked the dormitory manager to lend him a mop and bucket.

Inside one of the male dorms for a first year, Lin Fan sat quietly while in a deep state of concentration; his slow and deep breathing was in sync with the surrounding natural energy, and every time he exhaled, a white vapour leaked from his mouth and his body felt cleansed.

Within his deep consciousness from the nine dots of the constellation, one of them succeeded in emitting a light, albeit still dimmed, indicating that he still hasn\'t reached his first star yet. Thinking it was enough for the day, Lin Fan opened his eyes and then abruptly stood up. He then cast his gaze outside, recalling his negotiation with Soma.

Lin Fan glanced toward his study desk, and there were two vials of glass filled with a brown pill a subordinate in his family had created for his constitution training, and one of them contained a drop of elixir Soma had given to him.

Once Lin saw the detail of the vial, he felt a pang of pain in his chest; it hurt his consciousness like it nailed his heart. However, he shook his head to the side and steeled his mind. He took a vial filled with brown pills.

"Sorry, but without some pill or understanding about the universe itself, you can\'t attain even the first star. Don\'t hate me for that because what I did was only translate the book".

He opened the vial and gulped one of its pills before placing it back on the desk.
