Khali took a deep breath and absorbed the surrounding mana. The circle of golden sand around him shone with solf gold light.
The mana formed a visible vortex around him startling those standing nearby. A few moments later there was a pop.
However he was not done, he continued absorbing more and more mana and after a few more minutes there was another pop.
He finally opened his eyes and took a deep breath. The vortex of mana was absorbed into him rapidly and disappeared.
Black smoke rose from his body stinking up the entire place. It had been two years since he got here and he finally reached the knight/Acolyte realm.
He sighed, the low ambient mana density made his cultivation very slow. He looked inside him.
On his glabella and abdomen, the areas where his primary mana nodes for mage path and warrior path respectively, used to be were now vortexes.
