Chapter 176 - Rean Doesn't Want To Fall Behind

Rean had been healing cultivators who came back from missions or got injured because of other reasons. The elder who took care of the building was very pleased too. After all, Rean's Light Element control helped save a lot of pills and expenses. Rean didn't mind either since it was his duty days, not to mention that he will get 300 sect points when it finishes in two weeks.

In fact, Rean was quite happy with this chance. That's because he had been thinking about his own control of Light Element and how to use it recently.

Rean was inside a room, healing another disciple. However, he wasn't simply sending Light Element inside that disciple's body as always. Instead, he was controlling it in a different way to achieve another effect. If that disciple tried to run now, he would definitely be much faster due to the Light Element running through his body.

There was a big difference, though. This disciple wasn't Rean or Roan, so he couldn't use it as well as them. Still, Rean didn't care. That was only a test to see if he could use his Light Element to improve the body's strength of other people other than him and Roan. Of course, being able to increase someone else other than him and Roan's strength was very good too. Nevertheless, the real meaning of these tests was utterly different.

However, this is only something that Rean was working on the side. After all, Rean and Roan can directly use the Light Element.

Rean then quickly finished healing that disciple before asking.

"Try to move now, see if there is any pain."

The disciple was surprised to hear it as he looked at his injury. Sure enough, not even a scar was left behind. The disciples quickly got up and began to run around. He couldn't help but feel shocked after that. For the next ten or so seconds, his body strength increased a lot. Of course, the Light Element effect quickly ran out, and he returned to his normal condition.

"What was that? Not only my injure is gone, I felt like I was so much stronger for a few moments, but then it disappeared."

Rean smiled before saying.

"It's just a side effect of my Light Element. Since I'm not injecting any Light Element in your body anymore, the effects quickly disappeared. Anyway, you are fine now, so you can go."

The disciples felt a little sad that the increase in his strength wasn't permanent. Still, he bowed to thank Rean and left right after.

Rean then looked at his hand and accumulated Light Element on it.

'There has always been a massive issue with my Light Element manipulation. So far, Roan and I couldn't use it in more than a single part of our bodies at the same time unless we wanted to milder effect. Not only that, but as soon as we stopped using Light Element, our body would revert back to their normal condition. Obviously, we always had to keep using Light Element our bodies without stop during battles.'

Suddenly, the Light Element on Rean's hand fluctuated a little and spread around his entire body. After that, it began to disappear little by little. However, the impressive thing was that Rean was not using his Spiritual Energy to keep the Light Element there anymore. The remaining Light Element on his body stayed there on its own, and only after a minute did it disappear completely.

'It's still far from perfect. It only stayed in my body because I kept still doing nothing. If I moved and executed attacks that needed fast and strong movements, it would have disappeared in less than half of a minute. However, now I can make my entire body receive the benefit of my Light Element instead of only a single part like my legs or arms.'

Rean was able to do this in the past as well. However, to improve the whole body condition, the overall strength had to be equally shared. That being said, he would be slower than when he focused the Light Element only on his leg. Or his attack power with his sword would be weaker than when he used Light Element on his arms alone.

'So far, Roan and I have been controlling the Light Element to be used in the right places at the right moment. I also taught Roan how to do that so that he wouldn't lag too much behind in Light Element manipulation during battles. However, such a fighting style was bound to show openings sooner or later.'

Rean wanted to increase the whole body's strength with his Light Element to the best result possible, not only specific parts at the right times. However, there was a huge problem.

'Light Element wastage. The Light Element infused in our bodies constantly escaped everywhere. That's why we couldn't make a full-body improvement without losing power and had to do that at specific parts. However...'

Rean looked at the place where the disciple from a moment ago ran around and smiled.

'I finally succeed in locking the Light Element inside the body. Of course, there is still a lot of waste. However, it won't be long before my entire body can be strengthed to the max during battles without selecting specific parts. Still, I'm quite impressed that I was able to develop these skills.'

Rean then took a deep breath. However, one could easily see the excitement in his eyes. As mentioned a moment ago, Rean and Roan had to keep the flux of Light Energy running at all times. If they stopped, the effects would disappear immediately. Because of that, other people simply couldn't use his Light Element improvement since they couldn't provide more of it. The moment Rean stopped touching them, the effects would disappear straight away.

However, now that his new skill can stop the Light Element from dissipating straight away, his Light Element body strengthening can also be used in others! Not only was it of paramount importance for the twins during battles, but it would also be extremely useful for possible group battles in the future.

Rean smiled and exited his room. Soon, he returned with another disciple. This one had got himself injured in the arena while training with a friend. Rean quickly started to heal his injuries, and at the same time, he practiced his new skill.

"Hmph! Who said that only the ice block knows how to create skills? Since I'm not good at offensive ones, I might as well try another field."

Somewhere else, inside of an old hut...

*Achoo!*

Right after...

*Puf!*

Roan's concoction failed once more. His expression darkened as he looked at that. He was doing very well until, out of nowhere, he felt an intense urge to sneeze.

"Fuck!"

Back on Rean's side, he continued to practice during the entire duration of his sect duties. He ended becoming quite famous during this time. That's because he stayed in there, treating others for far longer than he was obligated every day. The elder who took care of the healers, of course, was delighted with him. In the end, he even decided to give Rean a bonus in Sect Points due to all the work and resources he saved for them.
