"Finally!"
The spear energy that was revolving endlessly inside my energy core finally broke out of the energy core through the spear shadow inscribed on it as it started flooding my whole body!
Reaching every corner and side of it, the amount of energy kept inflating as if it was threatening to combust my body, however, I kept my mind calm as I observed the changes since I already knew that this was a necessary part of the breakthrough process.
Soon enough, my face, just like my whole body, was completely red as if I was being constrained by something, my concentration was fading and my mind started to fail hazy threatening to give me another blackout… but just then, it finally happened!
The spear energy was leaving my body! Not that it could still be called "Spear Energy" anymore…
The energy that had morphed to Ki a few months ago had once again morphed and taken a new form!
As my body started to regain its natural color, the colorless "energy" that had punctured its way out was gathering in the middle of the air as it orderly started to form a certain shape!
[ Your body has been cleansed by "Spear Energy (A)" ]
[ Your Strength has increased by 0.42! ]
[ Your Const.i.tution has increased by 0.23! ]
The final form which I could only perceive using my mental energy was just as expected, a giant ethereal spear!
"There it is!"
My very first manifestation of Weapon Essence! The first sign of an essence stage weapon dominator"s birth!
The large spear was intimidating yet formless as it immediately disintegrated after giving out one abnormal s.h.i.+ne, rus.h.i.+ng back to my body at breakneck speed!
However, this time, the "energy" or better mentioned as "essence" didn"t bother with my body as much, immediately heading for the energy core lying deep in my heart...
[ Your Strength has increased by 0.19! ]
[ Your Const.i.tution has increased by 0.11! ]
The insane rush would have obliterated a normal body, but mine was naturally abnormal so it didn"t cause any trouble, especially since it was my own "essence"...
The energy core immediately quaked as it absorbed all of the "essence" in my body in no time as my body returned to its usual calm state, but that wasn"t the end of it.
As another expected occurrence, my energy core had entered a chaotic state once more, just like it happened back then, but unlike the mini-conflict that made me unable to use any weapon while using the upgraded one, the qualitative change was simply too much!
The "Spear Essence" was simply dominating the core, trying to eliminate the other low graded types of energy which were still stuck at the Ki stage, it appeared that the balance might be hard to maintain this time around…
The shadow spear inscription on the side of the core was s.h.i.+ning brilliantly as it started to deform the spot it was situated at, trying to distort the spherical figure to form a the head of a spear, one that seemed to be identical to both the head of the ethereal spear and the inscription it was growing from… it was as if the essence was trying to morph the 2D inscription into a 3D spear model using the core"s body as building material!
This change wasn"t actually a weird thing, in fact it was the final conformational sign of a successful advancement to the Tier-7, turning your own spherical energy core into the shape of your essence manifestation!
This was actually supposed to be an exhausting process that needed one to use special means to perceive their own essence manifestations to begin with, some used powerhouses" help and others used mental boosting pills for that, after which they would still have to carve their energy core to take that form…
However, in my case, the process was already taking place on its own, which would probably seem like one of the biggest blessings in life in the eyes of peak Tier-6 and Tier-7 weapon pract.i.tioners, but in my case it seemed like some sort of a disaster instead…
If the process was to be completely finished, that would completely demolish all of my progress with other weapons, but I didn"t panic as I hastily used my "Telekinetic Force" to slow down the process.
Even though I have read detailed research books on the process of weapon practice in the Imperial Library of the Lightning Empire, there was none of them who mentioned someone practicing two weapons till the Tier-7. Sure, there were those who managed to somehow harmonize 2 or even 3 weapons at Tier-3, but they couldn"t progress forward and created a bottleneck for themselves which could only be solved by demolis.h.i.+ng all the weapons" foundation except the one you want to breakthrough with.
As such, I had nothing to base my attempt to fix the situation on, so I could only rely of the "Harmony" ability of "Weapon Mastery" to save the day given enough time as I slow the progress, otherwise, I could only keep it contained using "Telekinetic Force" till I breakthrough with the other weapons and hope that balance will sprout from disorder or at the very least keep it in that state for now…
Thankfully though…
"Here it comes…"
A few minutes later, only the complete head of the spear was formed, but the process has already been considerably slowed down, the spear essence finally stopped its attempt to dominate and demolish the Ki that shared the same core as it started to get replenished naturally.
"Harmony" was finally taking effect!
The core which looked like a ball with a spear head started to change once more, the spear head was being ejected!
However, it wasn"t being ejected on its own, the rest of it had come out as the head started to grow farther than the sphere as the spear"s pole grew out of it before finally stopping...
The spear essence has finally calmed out as it migrated to revolve inside the spear figure that was erected out of the spear!
"Success!"
The climatic breakthrough process has finally pa.s.sed safely!
"Hah...huh…"
Finally breathing in and out, I started checking the changes of my body while taking a look at the system notifs that I wasn"t able to bother with during the whole thing.
"It"s true…"
Another body barrier of mine has been broken!
Just like how the barrier disallowing the elements from leaving my body has been demolished before, the cycle of essence cycling out of my body has achieved the same result!
Unlike the first stage at which energy could only be gathered and replenished through the weapon, or the second stage where the body produced Ki at a certain limited pace, I could currently absorb weapon energy from the atmosphere like elements and also let out without the need of using the weapon as the channel. In a sense, there were hardly any physical constraints for me now!
"Let"s check the performance…"
