Felix, on the other hand, were careless about their realization. The moment he declared boldly of reaching Top 1 in two month, it wasn’t backed by a hypothetical statement, it was a fact.

The Guide also assured him, so why should he worry?

It was only one of the reason why he was desperate to grow stronger, not wasting a time to laze around.

He left the Residential Wing and finally arrived at his usual place—free from the gazes of other human beings and provided enough space for him to train.

He brought energy drink now, but also paired it with water, which was placed inside a plastic bag.

Felix placed the plastic bag on the ground, leaning it ot the tree trunk, while placing Rain and the wooden sword beside it.

He then focused on Moon, observing her reaction while slowly placing her under the moonlight.

For a minute straight, Felix simply observed her, his eyebrows raising when he noticed Moon’s milky-white fur was slowly extending.

At the same time, there were tinges of grey color on some parts of her hair, especially her pointy ears.

The Guide said, [Her evolution is becoming rapid. I suggest, host, that for the rest of the night until dawn, you should remain meditating, no practice at all.]

Felix was stunned. Gazing at Moon in a daze, his mouth twitched.

"You’re telling me to meditate ten hours straight? Is there any insane people can do it?"

The Guide did not respond, but Felix knew she didn’t hesitate to give her suggestion she ought to believe was right.

Felix sighed.

He grabbed Rain, while searching for a place where he could sit without discomfort while basking under the moonlight.

After finally finding the perfect spot, he sat in the lotus position, while placing Moon at his right knee and Rain on his left knee.

And thus began meditating.

However, there was one main problem he faced.

He opened his eyes abruptly and his countenance was painted with utter shocked.

How am I supposed to meditate for them both?

The grey silhouette showed him how to meditate for Rain, but for Moon, he doesn’t have any idea at all, except the common meditation technique for beast tamer.

It was quite simple, communicate well with their beast pets until they finally attracts energy to their body and convert it to make it theirs.

However, Felix faced two main problems—Rain was a sword and Moon was in slumber.

Although the qi and energy was pretty much the same now, Felix was still having a difficult time adjusting for a fact that Rain was a sword not a beast and the meditation he was using for them was based from the grey silhouette.

Faced with a heavy dilemma, Felix asked the Guide.

"How do I even meditate that connects me both to Rain and Moon?"

[It’s normal for it to be difficult for you. But don’t forget that on the Lord’s rank, the beast tamer can even meditate while having an opposing elemental energy. In other words, what you have to do is to try and try again—learn and gain experience until you finally establish a meditation on your own.

The meditation provided by the grey silhouette is just to guide you how to meditate. On stage 2, there will be no specific meditation for Rain. Now use the meditation he gave you as a reference to develop your own meditation.

This is also why I suggest that you should meditate until dawn. Truth to be told, it’ll be surprising if you manage to succeed.]

Felix frowned. It was the first time the Guide doubted him. It made him very uncomfortable.

He grumbled in annoyance and took a deep breath to clear his mind, attempting to enter in a deep state of meditation.

He didn’t change his breathing technique at all, nor visualizing. He simply emptied his mind.

He didn’t realize how much time passed by, but, as soon as a thought was formed and interrupted him, he quickly distracted himself to how he must develop his own meditation.

He thought. I should not remove the meditation for Rain completely. I should understand the meditation needed for Moon first.

Moon’s main affinity was dual—ice and lunar, making it even more difficult for him to come up with a meditation specifically for her.

Nevertheless, he utilized the Frozen Vein Sword Art to deepen his understanding about ice.

"Water flows, Ice decides."

"How about Moon?"

Since he was still at the Awakener rank, the energy inside his body remained quite difficult to perceive. Although it was controllable, he was limited to controlling strictly inside his body, unable to even force out an energy externally.

It was normal, only Commander rank Beast Tamer could do it.

Hence, Felix knew that by observing the flow inside his energy wasn’t enough to gain comprehension about the Moon.

Just as he tried his best to understand Moon, he suddenly recalled a divine entity appearing from the Moon.

Moon’s one and only ancestor.

When Felix gazed at her, she was also gazing at him.

But, as Felix tried to understand the Glacial Moon Sovereign’s gaze, his heart thumped when he suddenly thought that from her perception, Felix might not be enough to cover her whole central vision.

She might not just be looking at him, but she might be looking at the whole world where Felix was standing upon.

Felix took a deep breath.

"If Water flows and Ice decides... then, Moon observes."

A booming noise thundered in Felix’s mind. A cooling sensation spread throughout his body as he finally gained enlightenment.

Without him completely realizing, he was now completing the meditation technique he just thought of.

Inside his body, his energy suddenly freed from restrictions of becoming an elemental energy. It simply returned to its normal state.

Then the energy flows through his meridians without forcing, facing no resistance. It was like a river circulating endlessly.

The energy opened his pathways, removed blockages, and stabilized energy flow inside his body.

After the flow phase was finally completed, the energy began to slow down and then condensed...

The impurities mixed inside the energy were frozen out. The purified energy became denser and sharper as it droved away the impurities through Felix’s pores.

As a result, black gases and liquids emitted from his skin.

His energy quality was now refined, causing his control over his energy to strengthen, preventing any leakage.

After the refinement phase came the harmony phase.

At this point, Felix didn’t need to consciously control the energy circulation.

He simply watched his energy began to self-regulate.

Simply put, he did not need to close his eyes to meditate. Just by moving around, sleeping or anything at all, his body would circulate energy by himself.

If there was a loss of energy after executing skills, his body would began replenish it, which only Beast Tamer Lord could do.

He did not need to meditate like other beast tamer every after battle.

All he had to do was simply observe his energy flow from time to time, preventing imbalance.

Felix slowly opened his eyes while exhaling all the impurities from his body.

The Guide’s voice echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations for developing your own meditation technique.

Your energy has improved.

You have reached Awakener Rank 7.]

A satisfied, beaming smile appeared across his face.
