After thirty minutes, Erix finally got hold of his consciousness and stabilized during his body''s refinement process.


    And each second, he could see explosively lively power filling up in his body!


    The essence of this Star Furnace''s energy was enriching and strengthening every cell, every atom of his body!


    His Bloodline''s bonus stats were also increasing due to this!


    ''I wonder how much time passed?'' Erix wondered while enduring the refinement.


    He was curious about this process, so despite the pain, he drove his consciousness fully into his body to observe everything.


    ''Arghh…''


    The pain suddenly increased in folds and he couldn''t observe or sense anything for a while until he finally adapted to this and started looking.


    ''It''s getting stronger, and stronger…''


    Erix was thrilled.


    But as he continued his observation, he sensed something shocking.


    ''This…is this the path I was opening with Yo??!''


    ''Holy shit! What if I practice it during this powerful refinement process? I am even able to sense my body so clearly in-depth.''


    ''Rin and I couldn''t start practicing Yo? Chakra Cirction due to not having Aethir, but we have it now!''

    ''Let''s start.''


    Without further ado, Erix followed the given information in his head when he awakened Boon Tree: Yo?, and swiftly created his Yo? Avatar.


    Yo? Avatar could be created when spreading Aethir throughout the body using the given method.


    When Erix finished creating his Yo? Avatar, it separated from his body and appeared in his Origin Region.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Through Yo? Avatar, he could observe his body''s every single aspect! And while observing it, he could now begin the only unlocked Yo? Chakra Cirction!


    Vitalum Cirction!


    With the knowledge avable to him, his Yo? Avatar precisely showed the pathways of circtions for the Vitalum Cirction, so he just had to create Chakra and circte it in his body.


    ''Due to this refinement process, those pathways feel so close to me,'' Erix was excited and didn''t waste any more time.


    He created a pool of Chakra by consuming 50% of his soul energy and 50% of his Prana.


    Afterward, he started controlling the chakra and flowed it through his body while observing the pathways in his Yo? Avatar. The Avatar and his body were synced, but the avatar was like a super blueprint of his body!


    In just a few seconds, Erix managed toplete one cirction and felt a strange, but pleasant sensation amidst the constant pain of Star Furnace''s refinement.


    ''This….'' Erix, who was observing his Yo? Avatar saw that his one cirction was adding a newfound power to his body.


    The cirction he just did created a mysterious vein-like pattern that he felt strangely connected to the foundation of his body!


    It was like his body was gaining a new depth, a new construct!


    Erix continued circtions while consuming Chakra and he felt his physical body getting stronger!


    In just 3 minutes, he consumed all of the chakras and finished 239 Vitalum Circtions!


    ''Continue, continue. I might not finish circtions this fast normally way.''


    Erix also recovered 25% of his soul energy, while his Prana pool refilledpletely in 3 minutes, so he swiftly created another pool of Chakra using 50% of his soul energy and 50% of his Prana.


    He also finished this pool of Chakra after a few minutes and finished a total of 501 Circtions.


    Each cirction consumed his Chakra which contributed to the creation of this new construct in his body''s foundation.


    But he felt that the crux of his Vitalum Cirction was in his spine. Like, the control center of this new structure created through Vitalmus Cirction was in his spine!


    Erix just finished creating another pool of Chakra, but just as he did one cirction, his consciousness received a jolt, and his body suddenly felt as if frigid wind invaded his body.


    The pain and heat were reced by numbness.


    [Your one hour in Star Furnace is over.]


    ''It''s over? Dang, I was nked out for over half an hour…But my stats.''


    [Body]


    —> Strength: 16830 + 7049


    —> Agility: 16785 + 7035


    —> Stamina: §


    —> Health: 15625 + 6687


    Empyrean-order''s maximum foundational stats were capped at 35,000!


    ''Almost halfway to the peak of Empyrean-order''s stats!'' Erix''s eyes sparkled. ''Just one or two more sessions in Star Furnace to reach peak in my Empyrean-order''s Body, hopefully.''


    ''But wait, the boost I was feeling during cirction is gone? Hmm, maybe I have toplete 1000 cirction for some permanent boost?''


    ''I''ll find out soon.''


    Erix found himself in the forest where they entered the strange mist swirling for challenge.


    Simultaneously, Rin and Lily also appeared beside him.


    "Babe, did you practice in Yo? while inside?!" Rin quickly asked with excitement.


    "I was just about to tell you that!"


    Rin grinned and turned to Lily who looked confused about their topic, but before she could ask, Rin said while stretching her hand towards her head, "Give me your forehead. I am going to share with you the Boon Tree: Yo?. You''ll understand once you get the information."


    "Alright," Lily smiled and closed her eyes.


    "I''ll finish my Chakra since I already made it," Erix sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.


    But after a few seconds, he wryly smiled and said, "As expected, the cirction speed slowed down considerably."


    Rin was also done in a few seconds as she passed on the information and sat down beside Erix to try her cirction.


    Lily also sat down to absorb information and started creating her Yo? Avatar.


    When roughly a minute passed since Erix began his cirction, he opened his eyes and stood up, "Alright, no use doing cirction now. It takes almost one minute for a single cirction here, but only a few seconds when our body is getting refined in Star Furnace."


    Rin also stood up with a wry smile after she finished her cirction and nodded, "Let''s go find another challenge quickly and ask for the same reward. Oh yeah, how much your stat increased?"


    "I am halfway to max fundamental stats," Lily said as she also stood up after creating her Yo? Avatar and observing it for a bit. "So cirction is fast during refinement, eh? Got it."


    "Yep," Erix grinned and looked at the status shared by Rin and Lily.


    "Let me quickly call others since they should be done with their challenges too. I''ll teleport to them and share Boon Tree: Yo? with them so they can also start practicing it and finish 1000 circtions fast."


    "Good idea."


    After contacting others, only Lilith, Aria, and Isabe responded, which meant Nira, Sameira, and Kenshin could still be taking their reward or had started the second challenge.


    "I''ll be right back," Erix said before he teleported to Lilith, Aria, and Isabe quickly and shared it with them first.


    A minute passed, and he tried to contact Nira, Sameira, and Kenshin again.


    [Nira: What''s up?]


    "Great. They are here. Must have just finished getting their rewards," Erix vanished again while Rin and Lily waited at the swirling spot.


    After arriving before them, Erix grinned at Nira and did a Vitalum Cirction throughout his body as his aura grew stronger.


    "Do you know what I am doing? You''re free to inspect me."


    Nira curiously used her Inspection skill and scanned Erix. After a few seconds, she was confused and surprised. "What''s that? Your stats are increasing."


    Erix stopped circtions.


    "They decreased," Nira raised her eyebrows.


    "I wish I could give you, but you are not in the bond yet," Erix wryly smiled and looked at Sameira and Kenshin with a grin while stretching his hand, an Aethir''s string released from his two fingers before it stuck to their forehead, "Mom, Dad, absorb this information. It''s some kind of practice art with Chakra. You''ll understand when you see it."


    Kenshin and Sameira''s eyes closed as they started absorbing it, but Nira''s eyes opened wide in shock, "Chakra? You have a Chakra Cirction Method?!"


    "So that was chakra?!" Nira eximed as she recalled the energy swirling, but it was in activate mode due to Erix circting it, and since she didn''t have the Chakra method, she couldn''t recognize it.


    But she had heard about it from Tenebria!


    "Oh? It seems you know about it," Erix was surprised.


    "You have a frigging Chakra Method?! How?!"


    "Rin and I got it through Patron Realm''s shop," Erix smiled. "It was a one-time buy, though. And only people who have a bond with us can practice it."


    "Patron Realm…" Nira was dazed and quickly grabbed Erix''s hands before saying with an agitated expression, "Did you tell Master Tenebria that you two are members of Patron Realm?!"


    "Please tell me you did!"


    "Nope," Erix crossed his arms. "Is this important?"


    "Yes!" Nira stomped her foot with puffed-up cheeks, but then she sighed, "Alright, we can''t do that right now. Go go, let''s finish all the challenges in the area fast."


    "That''s the n," Erix grinned and vanished with a blink as he returned to Rin and Lily.


    "Let''s go, my sweets."
