He sat on the bench as he tried circulating mana according to the skill pattern that Blaze mentally simulated, but it didn't even reach 1/10 of its path before the mana dispersed.He tried again and again, but the result was the same and each trial was also causing him to lose some mana. With the present situation of mana, Neo stopped when his mana gauge was halfway, to see how long it takes to recharge mana.Ring*His phone rang, and he saw it was Edward."Hey.""Hey, where are you?""On the roof.""Come to the cafeteria.""Ok."Neo put his phone away and looked down. He wanted to jump down directly, but after seeing the crowd down there, he decided against it and took the stairs.After some more walking, he arrived in the cafeteria and saw the students talking and laughing as they talked amongst themselves."Over here."Neo saw Edward waving his hand as he shouted. Many turned their heads toward him, but seeing he wasn't calling them, they minded their business.Neo walked up to the

Neo kept walking and by the time he came out of his thoughts; he was already before David's house.He looked at the cloudy sky before and said, “Is it me or is the weather always cloudy here?”{Add it to the list of mysteries of this world.}He was about to knock on the door, but stopped as he looked at the door, ajar.{I'm late.}Neo looked at the door, which had its lock broken by a blunt object.He slowly entered the house, trying to call Nether/Divine blades out of habit, but it didn't form. It made him turn a little more vigilant as he entering, creeping slowly into the living room but stopped.Everything was turned upside down. Someone must have been searching for something frantically and as a result, he didn't care and destroyed everything.Neo arrived next to a shrivelled corpse, who looked like it was sucked dry. Its skin was stuck to its bones and Neo could easily count every bone.‘Definitely late.’{This is a new way to kill someone. A weird fetish if you ask me.}‘I didn

Neo washed up as he put on his pants and walked out of his room. He stopped as he found a familiar face in the living room, listening to the news."The police have been successful in catching kidnappers, gangs, and many drug traffickers.""According to our sources, an anonymous tip was received by every police and government department related to health and security all over the world, and now they are cracking down on these villainous people.""In less than a day, over 25,000 people have been arrested and executed worldwide and the count is rising as the governments in the world could track down every malicious activity as the tips continuously are being given by this anonymous person.""Today is the day that villains know what fear is."“Selene?”Neo called out to Selene, who was so engrossed in the news that she didn't notice half naked Neo standing next to her. His voice brought him out of her daze as she turned toward Neo.Her dazed expression made her look charming, but then a r

The fighters' area was a sectioned-off space, separated from the rest of the venue by a chain-link fence. It provided a sense of privacy and concentration amidst the chaos of the surrounding crowd. The space was equipped with basic amenities to cater to the fighters' needs, including water coolers, stretching mats, and a few worn-out benches. Neo found a quiet corner where he could gather his thoughts and try the breathing technique. He had a feeling that this technique was different, as he could still feel its effects because Blaze and him were used to using this technique subconsciously. He sat down as he started by emptying his mind and then tried entering the meditative like state. He found the mana in the surrounding area started agitating and stopped, as he knew he could use the technique. He stood up, stretched his muscles, loosening them up. Neo glanced around the area, catching glimpses of other fighters engaged in their own rituals. Some were shadowboxing, practicing their

In a mesmerizing display of skill and control, Neo dismantled his opponents one by one, leaving them sprawled on the ground or staggering in disarray. Each strike he landed was met with the resounding cheers and gasps of the crowd, who were now witnessing a display of martial prowess that surpassed their expectations. By the time Neo stood victorious amidst the fallen opponents, not a single punch or kick had touched him. {70% sync with the body, a minor improvement. But I could have finished the fight in the first minute.} Blaze had full control over the body and could control every twitch and flex, but not Neo, as he was still having some trouble and why he couldn’t do so. He was having trouble, but even then, the spectator felt like they had never seen such flexibility and grace before. Their initial disdain and sneer turned into admiration and respect for him. Neo thanked the fighters as he left the stage and the host took the stage again as he called the night and that the ne
