The spiritual energy were refined by his body, causing his blood to starts pumping at a rapid speed.
His muscles are recovering at intense pase.

(Currently in the state of transformation, uses spiritual energy in the process.)
The only thing that he's a bit confused is Charm, does it operates when he absorbs spiritual energy or can it only operate if he has spiritual energy?
Flipping his body, he stretches his muscles, he recovers quite quickly now that he doesn't need to rely on medicine.
"I'm hungry." He mutters but he knows that the fight is still undergoing and looks at the other students.
The principal suddenly speaks. "That's enough, everyone, you had seen just how powerful this guy, right now, he's the current representative of our school and based on the performance of the candidates, our school either obtains a large amount of resources or be forgotten."
Everyone looks at each other and can see happiness in their eyes.
With Sean around, they have the confidence that their school is definitely going to take off.
"By the way, young man, you and Sean should go to my office together with the other candidates, I want to discuss something to all of you."
Jericho was stunned, then, his eyes lights up, yes! He had forgotten the fact that he had become a martial artists, he can definitely take one of the positions in the team.
He's probably going to become one of the main fighters as currently only Sean and Missel are martial artists.
All the participants for the school competition had gathered.
Due to the ever-growing number of enemies popping up everywhere, the Federation has now decided to nurture students for their cause.
They'll decide on how much funds and investment they are willing to give based on the result of the school competition.
Not many school dares to lie about the origin of their students because once they're found out, they would no longer receive additional support from the Federation.
Looking at the students in front of her, the principal is proud of both her and her sister's accomplishment.
"All of you are going to represent our school, you're going to receive full support and investment from our school but for you to receive that, you had to become martial artists first."
She waves her hand and Jericho floats in front of the other participants.
"This fellow is also a student of our school and even a classmate of our Ace, he will challenge one of you and if you're defeated, you're going to be replaced by him." All the students' expressions changes.
They were hoping that the school will provide them with resources to turn them into martial artists, being challenged by Jericho would destroy that hope.
Sean suddenly speaks. "I think that we should let them fight in an elimination match, the top two are going to be the main fighters of our school, alongside me, Missel and Jericho."
The students looks at each other and were excited, this made their chance a lot higher as all of them are proud.
"What's more, the top two will receive personal training from me while the subs are privileged to obtain vitality rich medicines and sparring with the disciples of Black Ape Dojo."
Jericho added. "You should know that I was worse than all of you but after being taught by this guy, I reached vital realm, in fact, not only me but ten disciples of the Black Ape Dojo that he had taught all became martial artists."
This was a bomb for the students, they didn't know that there's such an inside information about Sean's training.
"I might not know if my training really does turn one into martial artists but I do know that all of those that I taught all became martial artists." Sean added, he doesn't want them to see him as a god-like trainer that can definitely produce martial artists.
"Excuse, is there anyone that you had trained that didn't become martial artist?" Asks Missel.
"My cousin." The principal frowns when he hears his answer.
"She doesn't count, I don't know what their bloodline is but it's preventing them from forming a vital force." She shakes her head and says.
Sean looks at her with surprise, causing the latter to smirk.
"You're the Ace of this school, do you really think we would ignore your family? Their well-being is an important job for us."
Sean feels warm, he then looks at her and hesitates, he wants to tell her about the origin of the Tsu's bloodline but he doesn't know how to explain to her how he discovered it.
He can only sigh inwardly and changes the topic. "Then, it might be..."
He listed some of the disciples of the Black Ape Dojo that still hadn't become martial artists before he was taken by Harold.
"Sean, you hadn't popped on the dojo since you left, a couple of those disciples had become martial artists while the remaining ones are on the verge on becoming one." Jericho speaks.
The principal's eyes starts shining when looking at him, she then asks. "Are you interested in becoming a teacher of our school?"
An individual that has such outstanding track record is extremely valuable for any organization.
"I rather not, I'm not fit to be a teacher, I always spend my time hunting at the Outside and when I return to the city, I used that time to relax with my family." He shakes his head, declining politely.
He has too many secrets, he doesn't want anyone to find out about them.
"For now, we should focus in the battle for candidacy, I know that you guys are chosen by this school but I think that we should let your strength tells the truth, we should let the entire school compete for the spot." Sean turns to the principal and says this.
Maybe they left a hidden gem or people that really doesn't care about participating.
"Announce the reward, proclaim the fame and glory you will acquire if you become one." He wants to ignite the hot-blooded youth of their school.
All the transferees are unable to join but if the students of this school performs well, maybe one of those transferees will take notice on them and invest on them.
The principal thought about it and agrees, she also wants to showoff the students of her school.
"For now, we should start at the battle for the top two so that we can start my training."
The principal agrees and brings them to the underground facility of their school.
"This is where the teachers train, don't underestimate these walls, they can withstand a full blown strike from a peak silver ranker." She's proud of this creation.
The amount of resources she and her sister spent on this place is quite large but for them, it's worth it.
"Sean, why don't you call your pet beast to school, that monkey of yours isn't ordinary." She watched the battle that Wuk participated in and she can't deny its uniqueness.
"It's Outside, we're trying to earn enough money for a staff." He lied.
Jasmine stays back home while Wuk was chilling in Beast World.
"A staff? I know you stopped going to school but using a weapon in this day and age is quite redundant." She shakes her head.
Other than those at the innate realm, anything that were killed would lose their ability to condense vital force and absorb spiritual energy.
They can be easily broken by those of the same rank or even a rank below if they were used in a fight, after all, who would create a weapon from a body of a gold rank mystique creature to fight against an iron rank.
Sean looks at her and says. "Wuk, my partner is able to imbue his own elemental energy into objects, considering his mastery over the staff, I think it's worth it to create one for him."
A light flashes on the principal's eyes, it seems that she has underestimated Wuk.
"Okay, how about this, if you can turn the top two into martial artists before the end of this week, I'll create a staff perfect for that monkey of yours." She tempted him.
Sean laughs loudly. "Even if you aren't going to give me some incentives, I would still accept this task, after all, the money I had taken from you helped me greatly in my endeavors."
"Right! You're already a bronze ranker, I think that you start browsing for medicines that can help you grow."
The difference between the two ranks might not be great but still, the basic pills are no longer effective on bronze rankers.
"I think that I should stick to my current training, I am ranking up too fast, I had to build my foundation." He states.
Especially now that both his innate abilities had improved, if it weren't for the fact that he's automatically absorbing spiritual energy, he would've been starving at this moment.
"Okay, let's do a random lottery battle with a best of two wins." The principal waves her hand and starts the battle.
Missel wasn't interested in watching and sits there to rest her body, she's still angry at Sean for what happened to Blazing Emperor, her Red Hawk
Jericho watches with interest, he wants to compare them to the disciples of the Black Ape Dojo.
Sean was watching in order to assess these students current condition.
Just like he thought, they are quite excellent, it seems that they were trained by the teachers that recommended them.
Unfortunately, many of them are using martial arts that aren't fit to their physique and trait.
The principal was bored, as a gold ranker, fights from non martial artists is too lackluster for her.
'Oh? I thought she was just a delicate flower but it seems that she's not all looks.' Sean locks his gaze on one of the students.
Emirose, one of the school beauty, known for her outstanding good looks and mature body, most young boys are actually attracted to her.
She's confident with a large circle of friends and a background that leaves people envious.
'Her so-called twin is also quite amazing, wait, is she? No way!' He turns his gaze to another beautiful student and his eyes widens slightly.
