Faint stinging pain spread through my body as I tried to do the third cycle of 'Lightning Cell', it seemed like I didn't reach the requirements for it just yet, however, the great difference in the degree of pain proved that my track of thoughts would bear fruits soon enough.
I proceeded to take out 4 more weapons from the ring, a spear, a bow, a hammer, and a halberd. Most of them were weapons that I made during my intern with Drake but the halberd was one of the things I bought stealthily from the weapon shop while Tia was busy looking at some displayed gloves that caught her interest.
I started by picking up the spear, and repeated the familiar process once more…..

3 days later, on the fourth day of my seclusion exactly at 4:56 PM
[ Your body have been cleansed by 'Arrow Energy (F)' ]
[ Constitution +0.8 ]
[ Agility +0.5 ]
[ Strength +0.4 ]
For the last three combinations, there weren't a time that I fainted like before, it could be said that my body was already adapted to the process by now.
Going out to the backyard of the small house, I used my 'telekinesis' to raise small stones to use as targets, and trained to fuse the concept of my bowmanship. Which took me less than 2 hours to do, it was time to view the benefits of the last three days of work…

And most importantly what happened next…..
Trying to achieve the third cycle proceededsmoothly exactly till it reached half-point before collapsing, my target was almost there. Having fused 3 more weapon skills so far, my cells' quality increased quite magnificently, that a full third cycle was almost at hand.
[ 'Lightning Cell' First stage (12%) ]
It definitely increased! Albeit a minimal increase of 0.4%, however, it was still half a success. What's next depended heavily on whether the last skill combination would give the desired result or not…..
