" Why can't I cultivate, huh? Well, its because of my soul, it is simply to weak to hold the strain required to even awaken. I have used many soul herbs that I could afford in the cities, but it was of no use, my soul did not accept it, the soul essence of the herbs leaked out of my soul whenever I consumed any herb. I only have enough soul strength to survive for about 30 years, after that I will die." Alaric told Max about his soul with a gloomy expression. Max felt emotions burning up inside of him when he saw his father's expression and when he heard about his soul,' I will find the herb that can save you father don't worry. I wont let you die no matter what.' Max promised to himself as he heard his father's condition. Anastasia, who already knew about Alaric's condition, just held his hand for comfort.
" Don't worry, I will find a way to fix your condition and let you cultivate. " Max promised Alaric with his expression full of confidence.
" You already have so many things to think about, don't burden yourself about it right now, I still have 30 years left. You should also start to cultivate again." Alaric regarded the last statement to Anastasia," What did you think that only you both have the potential to cultivate?" Anastasia scolded Max for the blank look he was giving her." You can cultivate???" " Of course, I can. I was not doing it because I didn't want to make your father fell worse about not being able to cultivate." Anastasia replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the whole world. Max just blankly stared at her after deciding that he had enough surprises for today and he was only going to cultivate now.
He went into his room and sat in the lotus pose to cultivate, he didn't feel much of a difference at first but after about half an hour, when he was just about to stop, he felt something elusive inside himself, he tried to grab but it was elusive, he was always a little short. He continued trying to catch the elusive thing, after trying for two hour he stopped. He felt it was the first stage for his cultivation method, where he had to catch the elusive substance, only after catching it would the cycles start.
He left his house to share the news of him a=becoming a cultivator with the twins. He decided to pass them the cultivation manual only a day before they awaken. It was also enough time to think about how he got it or he would also tell them about his reincarnation.
" Hey, did you awaken?" Kane voice resounded across the street as he shouted the moment he saw Max. "Let's go." Max only replied with these word already numb to Kane's behavior. After they reached their usual spot, Max told them that he had became a cultivator after which Kane leapt towards him for a hug while Adrian had already distanced himself from Max but had a smile on his face, happy for his friend.
Max told them about his cultivation technique, well only a bit but it was enough to astonish them as they had very low knowledge on manuals but knew that it was a good manual. Max told them he had a manual for them too but would only give them it a day before, the last part while looking at Kane, who still hadn't let him go and was hugging him like a koala bear." Hey, get off!!!"
After hanging out with them for a few hours and beating them in the name of a duel. His states had truly increased as he felt his moves lighter and his strength greater that he nearly smashed Kane's head with full power before he controlled. He also ran into a tree which cause Kane to laugh his guts out.
After eating dinner, he sat down to cultivate and grab the elusive thing. After half an hour, he felt that elusive thing appear. He tried grabbing that thing but failed many times but growing close each time, after trying for three hours he changed his way of approach, instead of trying to grab it he let the thing come towards him. After 2 minutes he felt the thing appear again but he did not try to grab it. As the time passed, he felt it coming closer to him. Some time later, it felt like he is just going to comprehend the thing. After a few minutes, he understood what that thing was, it was his soul.
