Within minutes of closing the door to his pagoda, Alex was sitting on the floor, hands on knees, while taking deep breaths. He savored the ambient spiritual energy all around as he meditated upon the pair of fights he had endured. Both opponents had been well-rounded in terms of Strength, Vitality, and Quickness, both just a half-step away from twining their cords of Bronze into the first of the seven cables that together would symbolize their transcendence through Silver and, for the elite few who truly had the potential to ascend, serve as the woven basket of potency that would one day contain their golden core. The path of transcendence was one which every cultivator dreamed of achieving, yet exceedingly few managed. Perhaps one in ten million actually managed to break through to Gold, and those exceedingly rare souls were more than likely from a royal clan.

Even achieving that first Silver Cable was beyond what most Bronze would ever achieve, forever just a half-step away from enlightenment. Yet to underestimate their power, the power of the five Adepts he would face, and the benefit of years spent mastering themselves and their favored elemental attacks and wards, was to risk utter peril.

No one knew better than Alex just how dangerous a game he was playing. He was painfully aware of three distinct strikes that, had he slipped at the wrong time, failed to parry with consummate skill, or just been terribly unlucky, could have easily crushed his skull. Had any of those killing blows connected, he doubted that even the best Silver-ranked healer could have saved him before he awakened a powerless soul in a certain serpent deity’s coils, to be tormented for his audacity for all time.

As incredibly powerful a boon as both Eternal Fox regeneration and Dark Qi metabolism were, he was quite sure that his brains exploding to paste under the force of a powerful enough strike would kill him instantly, just as it would anyone else.

He needed to continue forging a body strengthening technique that would truly be in harmony with the unique path he walked. He had caught glimpses of what he thought might be the perfect path in that surreal garden experience that was more dreamlike than real, putting a boy’s crystalline remains to gentle rest after millennia of torment, each bone radiating such an impossibly complex matrix of Dark and Light Qi.

He was almost certain that this was the key to his own evolution, indicative of the path he must follow. Yet how to even take those first steps, he had no idea.

At the very least, it would take time, and who knew how many trips to a library filled with scholars who were indifferent at best, predatory at worst. Weeks, months, perhaps years.

For right now, while learning under a master who seemed every bit as singleminded as Panheu in terms of pushing him to the brink and beyond, and not even for his own benefit so much as for the scores of students
