Chapter 1042

(Unedited)

…

When Xin Ja opens his eyes, he found himself covered in sweat and is lying on the hay-covered ground. When he shifted his gaze to his surroundings he found that it was already dark. It seems that he has been really immersed in his lessons from his unique vision that he lost track of time. In fact, he has learned a lot of stuff from the unique vision and at the last part… while gritting his teeth he decided to absorb the remaining knowledge directly into his mind.

Although it caused him to feel like his brain is going to explode, yet it was worth it. He knew that he needed the knowledge fast, and he has no time to waste anymore.

Just like the medical knowledge he absorbed when his father was stabbed that day. Everything that he has learned and absorbed about science and technology are being processed by his mind slowly. For now, he has already understood around 30% of that knowledge.

And for him, that is already enough to be able to try and work on the cuff that is binding his hands.

And so he decided to begin working on the cuffs.

He cleared his mind and began to think of the things that he needed to do. Although he feel a bit excited, and yet he tried to control himself with one goal in his mind. To free himself from the binding bracers cuffs.

According to what he has learned his mind should have the ability to feel his surroundings. It is an ability that his former self, Shin Jiao has developed. It is called Absolute Sense. If he could heighten all of his senses to a degree, then he could extend it outwards from his body.

And so he look inside his body using his knowledge in medicine and has quickly identified some of the needed points in his meridians. Well, meridians actually did not exist in science. This is because those are what you call spiritual pathways of energy.

They are located near the veins of the body but they do not follow the same path as the veins. And so, after feeling his meridians, Xin Ja begin to use his Ki according to the practice that his unique vision taught him.

"This is the first acupoint…" he muttered.

When he willed his Ki to hit the acupoint, Xin Ja almost lost consciousness in pain. It was too painful that he could feel his meridian and veins almost bursting. He did not expect that the amount of Ki he used would be able to hurt him that badly.

"Argghh… That… that hurts…" he complained.

But then as he circulated the Ki in his body, he realized that it actually healed his veins and meridians a bit too fast.

"No… I must try using just a pinch of my Ki this time…" he muttered.

And so he tried once again.

When his Ki suddenly hit the same point, he did not writhe in pain but still feel a pang of pain in that part of his meridian.

He then continues to another acupoint and did the same. It was still painful but it is manageable. This time, his sense of smell, was heightened.

It did not take long before; all of his senses were heightened. But it cause Xin Ja to feel a bit weak. After those bouts of pain in his body and the healing effect of his Ki circulation, he was still able to hold on.

After his senses have been heightened, he followed the pattern on how he could activate Absolute Sense. After following the right pattern of circulation in his body, he suddenly feels that he could sense everything around him in a 1-meter radius.

Even with his eyes closed, he could actually picture out in his mind what everything looks like within that 1-meter radius.

The feeling is a bit exhilarating and wonderful.

His mind suddenly shifted down to the armband cuff in his hand and carefully ȧssessed it.

He could see a couple of mechanisms from that armband cuff.

After checking for a while, he decided to stop using his absolute sense. Upon stopping he was immediately ȧssaulted with a bout of dizziness.

"Hmm… I have to adapt with my heightened senses first before I will be able to effectively use the Absolute Sense…" he muttered.

Closing his eyes once again, the tips of his right hand began to glow with different colors.

Each color represents the elements of this world which are, fire, wind, water, earth, and space.

After concentrating and feeling the elements around him using his Absolute Sense, Xin Ja carefully touches the armband on his left arm.

But then when his fingers touch the armband, his expression changes from confusion to shock, and then to disbelief and helplessness.

The reason for this is because right in front of his eyes, he learned the truth about himself and his weakness.

'Warning! Your energy is not strong enough to affect the material being forged.'

'Warning! Your energy is not strong enough to affect the material being forged.'

He was a bit baffled at this warning and so he quickly navigates to ask why his Ki energy is not enough to have an effect on the material used.

His vision then showed to him, his body's real condition, and the real reason why he is weak.

"Ki is actually a different type of energy… another name for it is Heavenly Spiritual Energy…" he muttered while reading.

In fact, this information came from a dragon emperor. Which he did not know who? Well, that information was recorded by him in his previous life, so he knows that he could trust this information.

According to the information presented, to be able to fully utilize the Ki in the surroundings, he has to continue developing his Ki sphere and turn it into golden in color. Once it is golden, then his body would be able to handle absorbing the Ki in his surroundings.

"So… I am unable to practice forging right now, and only after the Ki sphere in my dantian is already golden color that I can use this skill?..." he muttered to himself.

"… No… I can't that long… I must at least have a way…" he thought for a while.

Then suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

If he could not have a large effect on the armband cuff, then he could try having just a minute effect. What he needed is just enough to render the locking mechanism of the armband useless.

After thinking to this point, in his mind he could immediately picture out the armband.

"Hmm… This small mechanism is not made of metal, right… then… then maybe I can…" after checking the whole picture of the armband in his mind, Xin Ja suddenly discovered something.

With an idea in his mind, he quickly went to work on his conjecture.

He touched the surface of his left armband and then quickly controlled the balance of the energy in his fingertips.

'Warning! Your energy is not strong enough to affect the material being forged.'

'Warning! Your energy is not strong enough to affect the material being forged.'

The warning suddenly came out, but he did not mind it. With pure concentration and beads of sweat pouring out of his forehead and body, Xin Ja began controlling the balance energy to travel towards that certain part of the locking mechanism of the armband.

When the five balance energy touches the surface of that tiny metal part, he quickly willed it to make it thinner.

This action alone almost depleted the Ki in his dantian. When he feels his head having another bout of headache, Xin Ja quickly stopped.

He then weakly slumps on the floor and felt that his vision slowly getting blurry.

"I… I think… I might… have overused… my ability…" he muttered weakly.

But instead of worry, or feeling afraid by feeling weak, the expression on Xin Ja's face is one of happiness. Before he feels his consciousness faded, a slight smile crept on his mouth and a satisfied expression appears on his face.
