Chapter 19: Ch-19 Multiple Mana Cores

Once William woke up, he looked at the time.It had been half an hour since William had come to the library.

'I might as well make my multiple mana core before sleeping'. With that thought in mind, William went to his personal training room.

Once he entered the room, he was pleased by what he saw.

The training room was identical to his mother's training room.

With white paddings and training dummies, William decided to place the dummies aside and activate the sound-proof feature of the room.

William decided to remove his shirt, so it didn't get destroyed, and sat in the middle of the room.

'This is going to hurt', William thought as he removed the ring of suppression, releasing his crimson mana.

William took a few steady breaths to calm his mind.

The first part of this cultivation method is the need for proper mana-pathways.

For a normal awakened, mana flows through their blood. Thus, they don't require specified mana pathways.

However, in order to practice this cultivation method one needed wire like mana pathways for proper flow of mana in the body.

Which makes having a formed mana core a perquisite of this technique.

With careful precision and a masterful control of mana, William made specific pathways for mana, allowing it to flow separately from blood before finally connecting to his mana veins.

Once he was done, William felt a newfound strength in his body as the efficiency of mana flow was boosted tremendously.

'Now here comes the hard part', William thought as he sent a mental command to make his core self-destruct.

After a single second, the whole room was involved in a bright blue light.

"AHHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" William let out a gut-wrenching scream, but thankfully for him, the room was soundproof.

However, just when William was about to pass out from the pain, he bit his own tongue to regain consciousness. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This was the most important part of the process. With a broken core. The mana sealed inside rushed out. Before this mana inside could dissipate, he needed to utilize as much of it as he could to form his mana core.

His first primary core was made in the same place where his previous core was, which was his solar plexus.

After a bit of effort, William succeeded.

Now for his second core, he had decided on his lungs so that he could absorb mana whenever he breathed.

The second core was a bit harder than the first one, but it was still possible.

Once he succeeded in this, he had managed to form his second mana core and had successfully started cultivating the multiple mana core method.

However, this wasn't enough for William. He still had some mana.Which he used to form a third mana core near the right side of his chest.

This was by far the hardest one, but he managed to succeed.

He now had a 3 mana core. However, this was just the start, as the part which made this cultivation technique so overpowered was still left.

One's mana core is like a blank vessel. However, most people are unable to utilize them and those who can use it to sign contracts with spirits and house them in their core.

However, there is one more possibility that, while theorized in the past, it was impossible for everyone aside from two people in all of history as it required an extreme affinity to mana.

An affinity that can't be obtained through any means unless one is the child of mana itself.

That theory was forming a mana core inside one's mana core which, if is formed, allows a person to have a seemingly endless number of mana cores.

Right now, William was planning on doing just that. He planned on forming a mana core inside his primary mana core.

It was extremely hard, almost ridiculously hard, but after a lot of trial and effort, he succeeded.

William had done the impossible, made a theory which had long been given up on by everyone possible.

He had formed a mana inside his primary mana core.

Right now William felt elated considering all the possibilities which were now opened to him.

While, yes, William now had a way to easily gain more mana, there was something even more important.

Something which had drastically increased his future potential.

The reason why everyone only has one spirit is due to spirits needing a mana core to house them and a single mana core is only able to house one spirit, regardless of the size of the core.

However, now with multiple cores, William could have multiple mana spirits.

This was huge, as having even a single spirit depending on its rank could significantly boost the overall strength of someone.

There were a few other theories and possibilities William needed to try.

However, they were all put on back burners for now.

"I need to ask mother to teach me how to contract with a spirit" William muttered.

His mother was the first one that came to his mind when he thought of contracting with a spirit.

Myra had contracted a marquiss ranked nature spirit which formed the most important basis of her strength.

William had the pleasure of watching her fight many times and, while she wasn't as powerful as Rex, she was still a powerhouse, with many people calling her the "The queen of nature".

'Wait, I'm getting side tracked. I need to check something first', William thought as he opened his status screen.

------------------------------------------------------------

William couldn't help but feel bitter looking at his Mana core and 8 years of his hard work gone to waste.

"Sigh it is what it is", Muttering the mantra which kept him going throughout his past life, he finally got over the feeling.

With F+ Mana, he had the same amount of mana as someone on the verge of breaking through to a red mana core.

Another thing which caught his attention was the addition of [Mana pathways] to his passive skill tab, so out of curiosity, he clicked it.

------------------------------------------------------------

[Mana Pathways]-Drastically increases the efficiency of Mana flow in the body and the amount of wasted Mana during each spell is reduced to an amount very close to zero.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Increased Mana efficiency, how neat" William muttered with a pleased expression on his face.

However, something else which caught his attention was the time.

He needed to go to sleep now if he wanted to perform well during tomorrow's training.

With a slight, bitter feeling, William decided to swallow his own curiosity and go to his room to sleep.

Once he was on his own bed, he took a few minutes to reflect on all that happened today.

"What an eventful day", William muttered, knowing that today was going to be one of the most important days of his life.

'Finally, after 3 years of begging, I finally get to learn swordsmanship' he thought,with a pleased expression on his face as he thought back to the day 3 years ago when he almost died and the day he became obsessed with the sword.
