Chapter 16: Elemental Body Refining

Both Athan and the Ape started brawling.

First, Athan didn't learn any Martial Arts and Ape....obviously didn't know any martial arts. so both just punched and kicked each other.

The only difference was...

" Hahaha, Little Ape, Hit me harder because your blows ain't even giving me feeling of scratches..."

*Growl...*

The Ape became enraged because It was taking a solid beating from Athan while its attacks were not working on Athan at all.

They fought for few more minutes before Ape started to make whimpers.

Athan was stunned as he stopped his beating, anyway he was not using his full power but just beating the shit out of Ape.

Seeing Athan stopped beating, Ape made a few more sounds and gestures with its hand to Athan.

Athan understood from gestures that it wanted him to follow it, ' Wait...could it be that he is going to call his boss or parents? whatever, It would be better if the ape called out a grade 5 beast as I want to fight them. '

And so, Athan followed the Ape, as they both went deeper into the Forest.

After 10 minutes of Fast traveling, Ape stopped at the spot before putting its hand in the ground and opening a hole by removing a naturally made flat stone that was covered with vines, The hole's path led into a hidden underground cave.

After opening the Path, The Ape once again gestured Athan to follow it inside.

Athan had no fear for Ape's scheme so he went inside the cave with Ape.

After entering the cave hole, both of them walked for 5 more minutes before arriving at a spacious area.

Seeing what was in the area, Athan got a shock because in front of him was a Big Black Crystal, Half a meter long, The Crystal looked similar to the black crystal he mined every day,

But it looked way more pure as it had Metallic luster, so its color looked Black Metallic instead of blurry black which was the color of crystals he mined every day.

Athan walked near the big black crystal to check it out.

Just as he was 1 meter away from the black crystal, He could feel the essence of this big crystal getting sucked by The Black whirlpool.

" Looks like this big crystal is way higher grade than Hig-Grade, could it be a Peak-Grade Elemental Crystal? Wait what element is this in the first place? " Athan still didn't know what to call this element, because everyone called it black crystal.

The main use of this crystal's energy is that It can increase the durability of items and strengthen the physical structure of people's body gradually if they stay near it.

' Whatever...I'll find it later, for now...hehehe ' Thinking about once again strengthening his body, Athan was delighted, Because even after working in that mine and absorbing bits of Essense from crystals in that mine, The Black Whirlpool still did not produce the strange black energy.

" Maybe because this black crystal's energy is different from the general element? whatever, I'll find it out later, For now, let's powerup the whirlpool and absorb the essence of this black crystal "

but before that...

Athan turned his face towards the black striped Ape that was sitting beside the crystal and said while doing hand gestures, "You... Go away, Don't come here before I come out."

Ape whimpered as it pointed at the Black Crystal and then itself possibly trying to say that I also want to strengthen my body.

But After Athan glared, it obediently left the cave.

" Let's start. " muttering, Athan injected his Psychic Energy into Black Whirlpool and then fell asleep to recover his energy while the black whirlpool sped up its process of sucking and absorbing the essence of the big black crystal.

...

...

Since his Psychic Energy was doubled, he slept for 3 hours before he woke up.

Anyway, he can't control his Psychic Energy when it nears the black whirlpool as it always sucks all of his psychic energy at once.

After waking up, Athan looked at the black whirlpool which was still sucking and absorbing the essence of the black crystal in front of him.

Seeing that nothing came out from the black whirlpool, Athan once again powered up the black whirlpool before sleeping.

...

...

This time Athan woke up after 2 hours and 50 something minutes, looks like his recovery speed is still shortening with each draining and recovering process.

Athan directly entered his Psychic Realm after waking up.

Looking at the black whirlpool Athan was delighted.

" Yess...Finally. "

The black whirlpool was currently releasing tons of strange Black energy that was spreading inside all over his body, Not just one part but everywhere.

After 10 minutes, his body's every part became black, It was not pitch black color but metallic black.

And similar to what happened before, once again happened, The black energy started to wreak havoc inside his body after all his bones, organs, and other things transformed into black energy.

' F**K THIS PAIN...' just like before, Athan could not move at all, he wanted to scream but could not just like before, Only tremendous pain being fed to his existence.

But the good thing was this lasted for only 10 minutes instead of 30 minutes like what happened with red and blue energy.

He also did not puke any Black filth nor his body extracted the black filth like before.

Athan slowly stood up while feeling the newfound strength in his body, ' i should name this process as Elemental body refining because in a way it's refining my body to make it stronger while giving me resistances to respective elements. '

After that, He entered his Psychic Realm, and indeed, There was a Black Crystal floating beside the Red and Blue Crystal which also cleansed some of the grey impurities around it that increased the amount of his total psychic energy reserve making him more powerful in that aspect.

But Athan was feeling strange while looking at the black crystal Like he had some connection with the black crystal, but he did not have this feeling towards Blue and Red Crystal, ' Now what is the meaning of this.? '

Athan willed his consciousness to go near the black crystal, ' Indeed I can feel a strong connection with this black crystal. '

He then controlled his Psychic Energy and touched the black crystal with it and something happened.

The black crystal disappeared...

" WTF... "

Athan looked around but could not find it but he suddenly started to feel something over his body.

He exited the Psychic Realm and got a shock.

His body was being wrapped by black liquid from outside...

In just 1 minute, his whole body was covered by black liquid and then the liquid turned into a semi-solid state.

Athan looked at his hands and feet while feeling shocked, ' This...This is a f**king suit, but it looks ugly. no design, no patterns, It's metallic black so it's shining a bit but that's all. '

But he could feel a huge surge in power with this weird suit on his body, He moved around and did some tricks with his body, his movements were not hindered in the least, everything felt normal like this suit became a part of his body.

He touched his face but it was also covered by the semi-solid ugly suit, ' How do I speak then ? ' thinking of it Athan opened his mouth and a gap for the mouth automatically opened, but he could see everything normal even though there were no holes for his eyes on his suit covered face.

' Now how do I remove this thing? I don't want to walk wearing this ugly suit everywhere. ' Just as Athan wondered this, something happened, The suit automatically started to separate from his body, and then it shrank before disappearing.

Athan was surprised as he muttered, " So It moves according to my thoughts..hmm " Then he went inside his Psychic Realm but he did not any see The Black Crystal beside the Blue and Red Crystal but an ugly black suit.

Looking at the suit, Athan could not help shaking his head, ' it indeed looks ugly....wait..since I can control it with my thoughts, maybe I can also give it a new shape and design? '

Thinking of that, He immediately focused on the suit and gave various commands like turn into jeans while imagining a cool looking jeans from his past life.

And Voila, The suit turned into exact jeans he imagined but the color remained the same, Metallic Black.

' Hahaha...I can change it into shape, that's so frigging cool, if only I could add colors, but a shame that I can't do it. '

He suddenly thought of an idea and willed the black pants to combine with the blue crystal beside it.

But...sadly it didn't even move this time.

' Looks like this Red Crystal and blue crystal have different uses. ' Athan then exited his Psychic realm and then looked at the Black Crystal in front of him.

"This black crystal still has a good amount of Essence left inside it... " Athan muttered but then shook his head while thinking.

' Nevermind, I don't want it, It's best to let it stay here, for now, I'll take it away when I need something because this black crystal's price should be very high, anyway That Ape can't absorb the essence, it can only sit here to strengthen its body gradually just like normal people hehehe. '

Athan then exited the underground cave because his business here was done, and it was already deep into the night since he spent more than 6 hours here.

He looked back after exiting the cave hole because he was hearing a snoring sound behind him.

*Zzz....*

The Grade 4 black striped Ape was snoring soundly while leaning on the tree.

"So this guy didn't bring any helper? anyway, why it brought me here even tho I beat it? "

Athan had a thoughtful expression, ' Maybe...so that I can spare its life? that must be it.'

"Because every living thing has the desire to live as an instinct especially animals. "

Athan then headed deeper into the forest to find Grade 5 Beasts because he didn't want to waste any time as there was one more important thing to do after checking his strength.

That important thing was...To check if he awakened affinity for Fire Element and Thunder Element or not.
