Chapter 27: Training
Angela now having been training in the methods that were provided by the Jade Empress for a few days now seemed to have two juxtaposing auras within her, the golden, warm saint healing and the ice-cold jade aura.
Within these days Lex now knowing that others would use the energy in the air to break through the shackles of their energy storage and body limits, he was now more enlightened when training and was using the Jade Empresses facilities to strengthen himself.
She had something called an array which he didn't understand and was too confusing and looked similar to the weird patterns and symbols on the warping door to Beast Dimensions and seemed to interconnect with the laws of nature and the energy in the air similar to a circuit with electricity.
Lex although very curious and wanted to understand how arrays work, he felt that currently, it was most important to strengthen himself first.
Using a gravitational array, he would train his body audaciously, doing all kinds of exercises under the multiplied gravity as his body's muscles are tightened, becoming denser and strengthened.
Then in the afternoon would use corpse cores that the Jade Empress would obtain for him, which were condensed from the corpses of all the levellers who tried to get into the forbidden mist grounds.
Although slightly immoral, Lex was too focused on strengthening himself and reaching what he currently thinks is the rest of the universe after forgetting what he knew by the system.
The corpse cores had much purer energy and also was much easier to convert into his own energy as it used to be a human's energy, whereas beast cores have very violent and impure energy which slows down levelling speeds and reduces how much can actually be used.
After 2 weeks of training alone, day and night without sleep as energy would nourish his body not needing to sleep Lex was brimming with power and felt that it was finally time to leave his seclusion and he was reaching a sort of bottleneck that would need him to break his limits.
[System show me my current status] he asks knowing that anything man-made like technology doesn't work in beast dimensions and his wristwatch had broken in the heat of battle.
{Ding, the host's current status is:
Name-Lex Black
Body Power LVL- Mortal LVL 33
Energy Power LVL- Mortal LVL 31
State- Healthy
Eye Powers- Telekinetic Control Eye, Scouting Eye, Lightning Manipulation Eye

As this resounded in his mind, he smiles proudly, happy with his current progress and felt that this training session was very productive and he felt that he would need combat to become more adept in using his newfound power and to break past his limits.
As he left the room that he was provided that had arrays and an abundant amount of corpse cores; he had already placed the rest of the corpse cores leftover in his inventory; he heads out. As soon as he opened the door and jump forth a wave of freezing air strikes him making him jump back as he shivers profusely.
"What low temperature" he exclaims feeling his blood was thickening beginning to freeze.
"If I got any closer, I would have been frozen" he observes from his current state.
Scouting Eye.
As his iris fuses with his cornea as his whole eye becomes white.
His senses all fuse as he seems to be able to see and feel everything around him in all directions and felt that his Eye Power was boosted again and he could see from him as the centre 360 degrees around himself with a radius of 500 metres without straining himself.
In the centre of the central golden hall like room that was covered in ice, was a plump and beautiful girl that had the left side of her hair golden and the right side ice blue with a purple gem embedded into her forehead and was sat cross-legged as she was using a weird method to raise her power and ice energy through extracting the energy from corpse cores without touching them.
"This must be a method from another place in the universe where there is energy in the air" mutters Lex who was now ignorant and forgot about the current situation of his tiny universe due to not being able to handle the information and the system didn't want to burden his fragile mind and will.
Retracting her aura, energy and method which was impacting her surroundings after feeling Lex's presence Angela jumps up in excitement wanting to show Lex her new power and that she wasn't a useless burden.
However, as she lands her feet slide across the ice as she slips and falls onto her large and soft bottom. Feeling the coldness dissipating he walks towards her while retracting his Scouting Eye as not to reveal his secrets to a spirit that he didn't completely trust.
Seeing Angela slip onto the ground he couldn't help but giggle at the sight but watching her alluring breast wobble as she falls on her large bottom her couldn't help but feel slightly attracted as a 14-year-old youth.
Looking at each other they both burst out into laughter covering up the embarrassment and awkwardness. However the fading spirit of the Jade Emperor interjects slightly frustrated, "I am now running out of life force and will dissipate now, I gave you an amulet on your wrist which on it is all my methods and techniques and will be given to you as you are capable of using them" she announces pointing at Angela.
"Now that I can no longer stay this temple will collapse and the mist will dissipate and I will no longer be able to help you and provide arrays, here are the corpse cores left and be careful as I can tell that there are powerful cultivators compared to yourself in each direction around the mist grounds and seem to be waiting for you" she warns as she waves her arm leaving a heap of nearly a hundred corpse cores.
As she began to fade away so did the mist, placing the corpse cores in his inventory he began to see that the mist around the golden temple began to fade away.
ZOOM, the 4 figures at each corner of the mist grounds charge towards the falling golden temple in the centre, two of them causing the ground to shake.
As the temple begins to collapse, Lex rushes towards the wall to his right launching his fist into it causing it to shatter and leave a large hole in the caving in golden temple.
Leaving the temple into the outside flat ground that doesn't have any trees due to being cleared out by the Jade Empress.
Seeing the hunters charge at them from every direction they were fired up, "I was looking to test out my power now" state both Lex and Angela at the same time.
One released a powerful blue and golden lightning battle intent with the other released from her left side a warm golden aura radiating over herself and her right side releasing a piercingly ice-cold battle aura.
