Chapter 182 - Chat

After nick excused himself he walked out of the mansion calmly as he knew thanks to his senses that the young man who had reached the third level of body refinement on his own was waiting outside the building rather impatiently. the young man looked conflicted when he finally saw nick come out of the kings mansion as even though he could tell that the strange energy in his body was incredibly stable after what nick had done his pride was wounded since he had lost horribly to the same person who he now needed to ask a favor from. "first thing you need to do is calm down as no good comes from being unnecessarily tense." nick said with a chuckle when he reached the young man. the young man took a deep breath before releasing it in order to calm himself before looking right into nicks eyes. "who are you?" he asked calmly. nick laughed "I'm just a guy with more information than you that's all." he said smiling. the young man shook his head " and why is it that i find it hard to believe that?" he asked sarcastically.

Nick shrugged "you may believe whatever you wish but enough banter , if i am right you have some actually important questions for me correct?" he asked seriously. the young man nodded "yes you did say to see you after the party if i wanted to know how to how to use this energy correctly." he said honestly. nick smiled "that i did though i will admit that i half expected you to let your pride keep you from meeting me civilly but here you are." he said calmly. the young man was embarrassed when he heard what nick said as in truth he did indeed almost let his pride win out but his instincts told him he would regret it if he did so he swallowed his pride and waited for nick as instructed. "no need to look so embarrassed anyone with half a brain could have guessed your prideful nature and by extension your reaction to losing without a fight." nick said honestly. the young man frowned at nicks words this time "am i really that easy to read?" he asked perturbed. nick shook his head "its not that you as an individual are easy to read so much as the fact that you wear your heart on your sleeves so to speak." he said calmly.

The young man sighed "i suppose so." he said before asking the big question. "what is this energy?" nick motioned for the young man to follow him which he did. after the two were out of earshot of any other person nick explained what qi is and all its different uses before giving the young man the same basic technique he gave to bellania and sent him on his way thankful for the opportunity he had been given. nick then walked back to his residence completely unaware that he had cemented to rise of cultivation on this planet by creating the tiny opportunity needed for a cultivation society to form. the people on the planet would have taken many many years to even learn that they need a technique to cultivate making cultivators rare but now that there were even three people who knew about the need for techniques the information will eventually slip into the main stream and prompt an explosive rise in cultivators as those with techniques spread them to their relatives and further.
