Completion and Explanation

The next day Ben woke up early and started some warmup and did some work for his school. Soon an official from the facility came. She was very professional and gave him some things to do and supervised the exercises that were mentioned and the rest of the work was left for him. That part also had to done before 9:00 pm at night and he had to sleep at maximum 11:30pm. This was also part of the discipline training that was needed to control his body. He also had to wake up at 5:00 am in the morning. Soon he had his breakfast and started to get acclimatized to his body as well as the intense schedule. Soon he had to work for about 9 hours with occasional breaks in between. During these 7 days he had to do theoretical work from his school and the facility and also the various exercises prescribed by the supervisors coming. During this time whenever he got time, he was practicing the visualization and breathing techniques from the book. Unbeknownst to him, this breathing technique was actually releasing his limiters one by on and he was absorbing energy. He had made this technique into his own resonance technique.

After 7 days Dr. Haldert came to him. He said " Hello Ben. I am here to do a routine checkup. Hope you are doing well." Ben answered: " Hello doctor. Yes, I am doing good." Haldert did some checkups with the machines. Then he said " Ben I am going to use my powers on you for a complete checkup. Please cooperate." Ben nodded. Haldert's hands began to glow. Then and he closed his eyes. Ben sensed something pass through his body and felt a warm sensation. It continued for several minutes. Haldert was shocked by what he was seeing. 'This boy. He has already made a cultivation technique. Although it is not much, the limiters in his body are being released one by one and he is absorbing energy. There is remnants of energy in his meridians. I seriously must do something g about this. He cannot be discovered by those people.' Then he stopped using his power and began to record something in his device. After that he snapped his fingers. A light field spread through the room. Then he turned to Ben with all seriousness. " Ben, I want you to listen to me very carefully." Ben was a bit surprised. He could not understand why the doctor was being so serious. The doctor continued " Ben, I can see that you have already discovered a cultivation technique. This is because there is accumulation of energy in your meridian channels." Hearing this Ben was stunned. He was afraid that his secret was discovered. The doctor smiled knowingly and he continued: " Don't panic. It is not a big deal. In the higher echelons of the society this is prevalent. It is not impossible to make a cultivation method. The rich and the powerful use information form previous generations and the information about their ward to construct a cultivation technique for them. But that is only 75% efficient. The 100% efficiency is achieved by the concerned person. But in your case, it is already 100%. Everyone has secrets. But it is better for you to hide it for 3 months. Also, don't go in front of any martial monarchs. I have put up a protective mechanism in your body. But martial monarchs will be able to see through it. It won't be a problem after 3 months." Ben was stunned. He looked at the doctor a bit apprehensively. Haldert could understand this. He continued " I know your concern. My power will not inhibit your growth. You will understand that in the subsequent days. As I was saying, be careful in the following days. I will be here till the treatment is finished. There are people who have a narrow mindset everywhere. Your progress will be hidden by me. That is only in the cultivation technique front. Your control over your body has improved. You need control that yourself. Do some slip up during the training. Make a slow progress." Ben's apprehension came down a notch. But he was still vigilant. The doctor continued; "Your next phase training will begin. Now the exercises in this field will be done in another large hall. It will be intense. This is required for the purpose of control over your strength and your senses. The concerned staff will release the limiters one by one in your body according to your progress in this phase. I advice you to be careful and be prudent about your progress. Make it so that the total treatment exceeds 32 days." Ben nodded. He could understand that this man meant well. There was nothing to do the rest of the day. He completed some theory work and he went to sleep.

The next day the work started. He had to do a lot of work for the acclimatization treatment. It started with normal exercises and then theory works. They were actually making use of Placebo effect to a certain extent. He was taught which part of the brain controlled what and how strength was produces and then he was asked by them to control his actions by keeping these facts in mind. The first day was comparatively easy. For the next 17 days he was literally grilled. He only got 5 hours of sleep in the subsequent days. He had to do the treatment exercises and then he had to do the work for his treatment and his school. On the 17th day evening, the doctor came again. Now Ben began to trust him more. This was because he could understand that the supervisors who were conducting his exercises could not sense a thing. The doctor had used his powers to hide his progress in energy absorption.

The doctor began to speak. " Congratulations Ben. You have completed the treatment. You have adhered to what I said. They have no suspicion of you. Now we need to come to the important matter." Ben and the doctor sat opposite to each other. He also used a machine now, which activated another field. He started: " As you know you have a shamanic variety martial seed. You could say that this is a semi-neutral class martial seed. It means that the energy that is required for this can be neutral in nature and can be absorbed from the radiation that is emitted by various bodies as well. But it has to be electro-magnetic in nature. Now, this type of absorption does not yield much. To actually increase the power of this meridian seed, you have to absorb from ectoplasmic sources. It means that you have to absorb from the life energy released by organisms when they undergo transformation. This transformation can be evolution, reproduction or death. But for shamanic variety, you can only absorb from the genuine mild sources. That is, you cannot kill anyone and absorb the energy. You have to absorb energy that is voluntarily released by organisms during any transformation process. Also you can absorb energy that is already in the atmosphere. This kind of energy will be released when there is an abundance of life around the vicinity. It will also absorb energy released after large deaths. I will advice against absorbing the energy after large scale massacres. Such energy can contaminate your mental state.

Any way absorbing such neutral or positive life energy would give you 60% more boost in your energy intake than normal E.M radiation absorption. Now since you have the cultivation method, I will tell you what happens in the Martial Knight stage. When you start to absorb energy for cultivation, the energy will first fill the meridians. A part of that energy will also go to the energy core. There is a chemical process by which this done. But there is no need to know that. Once the meridians are filled up, almost all of the energy that is absorbed will go to the energy core. Filling up meridians is not an easy task. Every nook and cranny of the meridian channels should get filled up. If not the energy in the energy core will get dissipated after some time. Once the meridians are filled up the energy core will start to fill up and the energy will be stored there in a gaseous state. A part of energy is also used to strengthen the energy core. When the energy core is 100% filled and you feel that no amount of energy can be put in it, you have completed Knighthood."
