"That went well." A wide grin spread across Grey's face as he put away the phone.
Now that the deal was set up, he officially had a source of income!
He was gonna become rich overnight!
"Actually, aren't I already rich?" Grey shook his head. There were 4000 or so Union Credits still left in his account, and for someone his age, it was an exaggerated amount of money.
"The rich get richer…" Grey sighed as he checked the time.
He had spent quite a bit of time speaking with Lia, and it was almost 8 PM. Since that was the case, he decided not to head out this late at night.
"I should use this time to comprehend the True Origin Breathing Technique." Grey felt that he was extremely close to comprehending the True Origin Breathing Technique.
He was only missing a few pieces of the puzzle to fully recreate the technique.
And he believed that this technique held the answer to him becoming an evolver.
Why? Because Alissa wasn't actually able to sense True Origin Energy. From the fragments of information in his mind, he had come to the realization that this special breathing technique allowed her to form True Origin Energy on her own.
If he comprehended it, then chances were his disability of not being able to become an evolver would be a thing of the past.
Of course, he had come to this conclusion after careful analysis of the fragmented information. Only after fully comprehending it would he be able to say with certainty whether he could use it to become an evolver or not.
"But I won't become an evolver just yet. Now that I have found an emerging pattern within energies, I might just be able to create a completely new energy. An energy not bound by the rules of evolution and which completely belongs to me alone." Grey's eyes flashed.
That was his end goal, and he would only use the technique to become an evolver if his goal didn't work.
Soon, Grey made his way to the dining room.
He saw Alissa, wearing an apron on top of her casual clothes, putting the food in her hand onto the table. With the steam coming from the food, he knew that she had just reheated it.
And most importantly, she had a smile on her face as she hummed a song while putting the food down.
"I'm here…" Grey said awkwardly.
Immediately, as if the entire ocean froze over, the smile on Alissa's face vanished, and a cold expression appeared instead.
It was rather disheartening to see, but Grey could only sigh. Such a good girl, and yet she had to act cold and reserved in front of her arch-nemesis—who was none other than Grey.
'I should move out of the house once I have enough to buy a mansion,' Grey mused silently.
That way, both Alissa and he would be happy.
"I've reheated the food. You can start eating now," Alissa said in an indifferent voice.
"Alright." Grey nodded and immediately started eating. Along with Alissa, they sat silently, with Alissa scrolling through her phone while eating.
Utilizing this time, Grey took occasional glances at her, which caused his ability to constantly ring in his mind.
[By seeing a true dragon's breathing, you've gained insight into "True Origin Breathing Technique."]
[By seeing a true dragon's breathing, you've gained insight into "True Origin Breathing Technique."]
Eventually, by the time he was finished eating dinner, the puzzles were finally pieced together.
[After gaining insight into "True Origin Breathing Technique," you have comprehended the "Flawless True Origin Breathing Technique."]
Buzz!
"Thank you for the food!" Grey immediately got up from the table and rushed into his room with bottleneck speed.
Information rushed into his mind like a tidal wave. The puzzles were now pieced together, everything placed in order, and all the information about the breathing technique was fully revealed to Grey.
"It is exactly as I thought. This technique is a way for Alissa to imitate the energy flow of True Origin through her breathing, which attracts True Origin Energy towards her. It doesn't have anything to do with sensing."
A bright expression appeared on Grey's face. This had just opened up new possibilities for him.
For example…
[Your understanding of the flow of spiritual energy is exceptional. Through your comprehension, you've managed to create "Spiritual Energy Breathing Technique."]
[Your understanding of the flow of cosmic energy is exceptional. Through your comprehension, you've managed to create "Cosmic Energy Breathing Technique."]
It was instantaneous. He knew the energy patterns of cosmic energy and spiritual energy like the back of his hand, and with his comprehension of the True Origin Breathing Technique, he knew how to imitate the flow. He fused them all together and created two new techniques—one for spiritual energy and another for cosmic energy.
"I just bypassed the limitation placed on me by the rule of evolution." Grey's grin widened. "With this technique, I can effectively choose any evolutionary path to cultivate."
What was true strength?
This was true strength!
There was no one in the entire Blue Star who could achieve the same result as Grey. He had bypassed the absolute rule of evolution and overcome his lack of talent!
"But this can wait. I need to make some research on Life Energy too." Grey's eyes flashed.
During this time, he had noticed something far crazier than Cosmic Energy and Spiritual Energy having the same flow of energy pattern.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but maybe placing another energy together might help him realize whether he was right or wrong.
If he was right, then…
"It would be akin to creating history," Grey said with some seriousness.
Of course, he didn't jump to conclusions yet. He would only finalize his findings once he looked into Life Energy.
The reason he wanted to look into Life Energy was that everyone had it, but only martial artists actively used it, and hence he could only see the flow from a martial artist.
With that said, he directly went to sleep. Since there was nothing to do, he could only sleep and wake up early in the morning.
Tomorrow would decide whether or not he would be able to forge a perfect path.
