It took me a full 12 minutes to circulate just a few strands of energy, despite me trying my all to become fast as I can.

As I finished circulating, I could see two drops of water fell from the moon glistering with the moonlight but my focus was not the beauty of the drop the freezing coldness that is emitting from them.

This coldness is bone-chilling enough my freeze the whole body of normal Knight, seeing such freezing coldness I became very very happy.

The Celestial methods first three levels are absolute trash, it is compared to the lowest of lowest grade method and that is why when I reached the 16th Sequence last time which is in the Sequence in Baron, I could only feel the slight chill from it.

But now the Freezing Chill I am sensing from the drops that fell from the moon, I am confident that this sequence I am circulating under is absolutely in the Viscount level.

The effect of this method may be the lowest of low but when one reached Sequence high enough, it will produce striking effects, I am at Knight level while I am circulating under the Viscount which means the Sequence I am circulating is 36th or above.

That few strands were the trial to see how my body reacted to the polluted energy and now I will circulate for reality.

I started to pick the strands of blood energy, they are very heavy but I picked them one by one till I can’t anymore.

To quickly refine the blood energy, I started to use the same technique that I had used during the refinement of the soul energy, to create the bundle of them then refine it.

This method is very strenuous but using it I will be able to refine my mana at a much faster rate.

The bundle of blood energy has five to six-time more blood energy than last time and its going to be more painful than the last time, I thought as I moved the bundle of energy toward my veins.

Sizzle sizzle….

Just as the bundle entered my veins, I felt the torturous pain that I buzzed out for a moment but I quickly recovered and started to circulate mana with my all.

I could see light blusters forming all over my body and next moment they got healed by the vitality before getting blistered again next second.

I continue circulating while also keeping an eye out for everything.

In this torturous circulation every second felt like an hour, I danced on the edge of madness and sanity as I refine my energy.

Fifteen minuits later I finished with refinement and as clear moonlit drops of water fell from the moon, emitting freezing cold.

After I finished this round, I started on the next round without wasting any time, time is very precious for me as I have to refine my energy in four and a half days.

I started on the third round taking more energy than before and the torturous refinement continued.

Hun!

I was on the fifth round when I noticed something peculiar and started to investigate and when I saw the reason, I couldnt help but get shocked before becoming very happy.

As I was refining, I noticed that my body is getting stronger as time passed, through the refining makes my body stronger but the rate is very slow but now I am seeing it happening very fast.

So when I investigated it, I quickly found the reason and the reason is the body refining method.

When I practiced body refining method all the materials did not get refined, there is some material left, so when the torrent of fire energy spread through my body these residual materials came to contact with the fire energy and with help of it merged back into my body thus making it stronger.

If I had not guessed wrong then about 20% to 30% residual material left in my body which would have been washed away with time as my body would have maximum ability to absorb about 5% of it but with this fire energy refining every inch my body, it had swept all the energies and merged them with my body.

The merging of this residual energy was quite slow at first but as started to take more and more energy for refining, The fire energy got released in huge amounts and this fire energy which in term able to help in merging more residual materials with my body.

The refinement is torture both physical and mental, I felt like I am walking on the edge, a slight mistake on my part could directly take me to the gates of the underworld.

But I have no other choice, I have to refine this energy and get stronger, only becoming stronger will I able to survive the war.

The war is unpredictable, it filled with unknown factors a sure win could turn into the loss and a loss could turn into a win and this is not normal war either.

It is the war in the Seer continent where Knights like me are nothing but the cannon fodder and that is why before leaving for the battlefield, I will have to refine my all my blood energy completly, so I will have little fighting chance.

‘I am reaching my limit!’ I thought a few hours later, this time I have a big bundle of Blood energy and when I took into my veins for refining, I felt the most intense pain that I cried out loud but I quickly forgot pain when I saw its rampaging in my body.

It had nearly burned me, if not for the vitality that is healing me quickly, I would have directly turned into the ash in a few minuits.

The fire energy is too great and seeing its rampage in my body, I started to refine that energy as my life depends on as if I kept that energy in a single place for a moment more, it would have damaged my magic veins forever.

The reason I had decided the refine and not let go back to the core because it would have taken little more time and in that time my veins would have been burned.

I could see that fire energy that spreading in my body and burning it bit by bit, there is a thick layer of black burned dead skin continue to form on my body, there is no part of me where the burned skin hadn’t covered up.

I circulated that mana with my swiftest speed so that the energy could not stay in one place.

The more I circulated, the less pressure I would feel, as the fire energy would be cleansed from my mana and by the end of the purification stage, all the fire energy purified from my mana and I was able to take a small sigh of the relied.

When I finally finished circulating the bundle of that energy, I started to make another bundle of energy and this one also has as much energy as previous.

From the last circulation, my body would have become stronger than earlier, so the danger will be a little less than last time but there is still will be an immense danger to my veins if I didnt circulate my energy fast enough.

I circulated the same amount of energy as previous for several rounds before I finally stopped.

Since the afternoon it has been around six hours since I am refining my energy but I was barely able to refine about 2.5% of it, this speed is much faster than my earlier refinements as they’re three times more fire energy than before.

But to me this speed is too low, I will need to be at least three times faster than this if I want to refine all the mana inside me in four days.

I would have refined mana more but I have already reached my limit on how much energy I could take for circulation and if I continue to refine by the speed of limit, I will never be able to refine the energy in time.

So if I want to refine the energy faster, I will need a have a strong body and that is why I had decided to refine my body in High Stage of 1st level of Arctic Snow Body Refining Method before I could start the energy refining again but before doing all that, I should eat first as all these practicing is making me really hungry.
