Although Yue Drake had to wait a little more he couldn't rush those things and he had other things to contemplate about.
During the time he fought the Wild Storm Eagle when he came back from one of his fights with the eagle he thought he could reach easily the nineth rank's middle level of the fourth rank and even advance a little bit.
It was during that time that he felt something weird during the time he meditated and found out that the energy was attracted toward him fast and in his abdomen a vortex was created and he also reached the peak of the nineth rank and since then that vortex helped him to break through at faster rates and thanks to the resources he had and obtained he didn't had a lot of things to worry about.
But even now he didn't knew what to do.
After finishing the revolution Yue Drake went to train the body tempering technique.
While swimming and checking out the Ice Sea Devils he once saw that a variant Ice Sea Devil also trained with that technique and once it opened other meridians it could use fire attribute techniques better than the ones who just opened that meridians and so once he finished the first half Yue Drake can use the second half to cultivate and also train his other affinities. That Sea Devil and the one at the seventh realm sure were incredible and they also gained insights in the laws of heaven and earth and attain illumination the same way Yue Drake did and that is either swimming or fighting aquatic beasts as weird as it may sound.
If it wasn't for the Phantom Devilish Eyes he couldn't gain so many benefits. The time he acquired that eye technique was the time he first gained something akin to enlightment. During the time a week passed by and he was seven he saw a Ice Devil hunting and thanks to his affinity with the water Yue Drake managed to feel the way the Ice Devil directed the qi to it's eyes - and the other elements brought by the raging water attribute helped.
"The problem with a variant cultivator is that once discovered and if it has another attribute and is the same grade as the variant attribute then it means it is bestowed. Otherwise what I've done I would've thought I should be out of my mind" , thought Yue Drake.
But that wasn't important enough to overshadow one thing, what he had to do now?
That body tempering technique should also ensure him a swift-road once he reached the second half of it but that's a luxury he doesn't have.
Once I return I'll ask Sam for pointers, said Yue Drake and... then an idea formed in his mind.
I shall not hide during the tournament.
