Dark wisps of energy poured from every pore on my body.
My eyes locked onto the space before me as I sensed the changes happening in my organs and bowels.
The aches and troubles of ordinary life seemed to disappear in this instant, like my body had entered a completely different world.
Right then, two brilliant beams shot from my eyes, my power quietly and steadily growing.
Getting to my feet, I squeezed my fists tight, whispering, "My power has definitely gotten stronger, but... I'm still not quite at half-step Martial Marquis level."
Even though half-step Martial Marquis wasn't an official cultivation stage, once someone reached it, the gap between them and a Grandmaster became massive.
And right now, I hadn't felt that kind of change yet.
"Looks like I need to keep training." I muttered quietly.
After thinking it over for a bit, I decided to go outside for some fresh air and figure out how much time had passed.
But when I got to the door, I found it wouldn't budge.
