Cut chapter #2, but something mostly for the future

Serph had woken up after Kongming struck him around his Dantian. When he walked outside, he saw Kongming. "You're finally awake," said Kongming.

"What did you do to me?" asked Serph.

"I injected five drops of Divine Energy into your body to awaken the Divine Energy within you," said Kongming. "With this, it will begin to transform the Internal Energy within you into Divine Energy. You will be much stronger, but I recommend that you hide it."

"Hide it how?" asked Serph.

"Reduce the amount of Internal Energy you apply to your skills like your Armatization," said Kongming. "Even though your Armatization and techniques are stronger, by reducing the amount of Internal Energy you spend, it reduces the overall effects."

"Won't others be able to tell?" Serph asked.

"Only if they possess Divine Energy themselves," said Kongming. "To others, they can only sense the regular energy. Even if you use something like Divine Elemental, they will still sense it as just Elemental because they cannot sense the Divine yet."

Kongming showed his Armatization it was a small white fan. "This is what happens when you only use a little Internal Energy while you possess Divine Energy," said Kongming. When he swung the fan, Serph could see a visible gust of wind that spread out in a wave in front of him.

Then, Kongming applied more Internal Energy to his fan. The small white fan grew a little larger and turned grey. "This is what happens when you apply more," he said as he swung his fan. A small tornado appeared and spun in place.

Serph had to cover his face because of the high winds. "Wow," said Serph.

Serph Armatized. What used to be a small shield now covered his entire body in a suit of armor. "This is completely different," said Serph.

"That is the power of the Divine," said Kongming. "This is why regulating your Internal Energy more carefully is important. Many of the strongest practitioners out there hide their Internal Energy one way or another and reduce the strength of their attacks. Since you have Divine Energy at your age, you should hide it too, even if it means losing a few fights once in a while."

"Thank you for the advice Grandmaster," said Serph.

"Just remember to fulfill your promise to me and to Akiza," said Kongming.
