Chapter 29 - Pathways to Power and Subscriber Frenzy

On the other side, all subscribers who were spamming earlier became really angry because now they couldn't take the opportunity.

Many subscribers began to regret, but there were also some who got really angry and unsubscribed Ankit and all his friends' channels.

But Ankit and his friends weren't concerned about this toxic audience. They completely ignored them.

Yash and Gyan Gaming used this opportunity and made videos saying that they could select 5 extra players for that custom-made controls and sensitivity opportunity.

This idea was given to them by Ankit. Ankit gave this idea because it could compensate for the trouble caused to his friends.

Next day, when Yash and Gyan Gaming started their livestreams, they got spammed by many angry subscribers. But other subscribers who wanted to be selected, helped Yash and Gyan to report them and ban their accounts permanently.

----------

Next day, Ankit began his daily routine: practicing "Earth Controlling Technique", deeply washing his body, eating.

No sleeping—after Ankit had washed his body in substage 4, his strength, speed, defense, sensing power, and lifespan all improved.

Now Ankit could go without any need for sleep for at least 1 month.

This allowed Ankit to give all his focus to cultivation and practicing earth controlling technique without sleeping.

The day quickly passed without any change.

-------

Next day, May 25, 2018

On this day, Ankit didn't cultivate; instead, he played Free Fire because the first elite pass had come.

But after purchasing the elite pass and playing some matches with it, Ankit got really bored and shut off the phone.

Because of his strength, he didn't enjoy Free Fire that much. And the excitement of purchasing the elite pass quickly faded away.

Ankit thought that the excitement from the game wasn't even 1/10 of cultivating.

Then he closed the game and began cultivating.

--------

10 days quickly passed in the river of time.

In these ten days, Ankit had completed substage 4.

He had also perfectly mastered the "Earth Controlling Technique", using the same but distinct method he used with the water controlling technique.

Now he could make stones out of thin air just like water. But he couldn't make hills or mountains because of his limited power, though it could be achieved at higher stages of power.

In these 10 days, Ankit had also mastered wind controlling technique and fire controlling technique using the same method.

These basic elements helped Ankit more in daily life and less in fighting because they were basic, and also because he didn't fight.

He was always cultivating and didn't have time to fight anybody.

------

His family had also arrived two times in these 10 days to meet him—and also to eat his delicious food.

The food got tastier when Ankit began using his fire controlling technique to make food.

------

After these ten days, Ankit didn't know his full strength but could guess that his strength is likely around 10 tons, his speed could easily surpass 1000 km/hr.

He could easily withstand a rocket impact with his defense, his sensing power is 10 km max, his lifespan is 500 years.

Ankit's destructive power could be estimated by - that he could destroy a city block easily. And if he used his water, fire, earth, wind controlling techniques, he could do more destruction.

He could also jump 1000 m vertically if he tried with just his physical body alone, and using his essence flow would increase the jumping power...

------

On this day, Ankit focused on the Root Core pathways. He had already discovered all 6,000 pathways related to the core through his keen senses and enhanced strength.

These pathways weren't yet connected directly to the core, but now he would link them one by one, infusing condensed Essence Flow to cleanse and widen them, much like he had with his 12 meridians.

While the 12 meridians formed a rapid-flow circuit driving Essence throughout his body, these pathways served as vast reservoirs—capable of storing large amounts of Essence Flow and releasing it rapidly and precisely when needed.

By mastering both, Ankit will be forging a dual system—continuous Essence flow for active strength, and deep reserves for sustained power.

For instance, by channeling stored Essence into the energy pathways within his hands, Ankit could unleash devastatingly powerful strikes, releasing energy at least 100 times more efficient than drawing directly from his core. This precision allowed him to conserve power, respond instantly, and command overwhelming force in combat.

Normal Strike: Core --> Meridians --> Hand (slow transfer, steady power)

Pathway Strike: Core --> Meridians --> Hand Pathways (pre-charged) --> EXPLOSIVE RELEASE

The 6,000 Root pathways will not be just pipes—they will be storage tanks.

Specific pathways terminate in hand regions (fingers, palms, wrists), acting as pre-loaded energy capacitors.

Pathways hold concentrated Essence offline (not circulating), ready for instant release.

Once integrated, these pathways would allow Ankit to accumulate large reserves of Essence and distribute it evenly, preventing energy drain and enabling powerful simultaneous techniques.
