"This is…" Noel felt that his body was being filled to the brim. It was to the point that he was suffocating.
However, this was a good sign. This ant the energy was enough to advance to the Spirit Grandmaster Stage.
"Ardagan, Heisk. Get ready to transfer the energy you two have absorbed to the mind. We'll proceed with the Spirit Mind."
After asking the two spirits, Noel felt the Spirit Seal was reacting to his words. They began channeling the energy toward his brain.
When soone absorbed the demon crystal for the first ti, they had officially beco a Spirit Apprentice. Once their body got used to the Spiritual Energy, they could exert strength beyond a normal person. This was the Spirit Practitioner Stage.
However, Spirit Wielder was even more different. The human body began assimilating with the spirit, allowing them to fully utilize the Spiritual Energy.
That was when the Spirit Master ca into place. While their body could release Spiritual Energy, they didn't have the organs to store and channel everything. That was why they condensed the energy into their heart, creating a second heart called Spirit Heart.
This heart allowed them to change their body like that of a Spirit. Now that they had the core of the Spiritual Energy in their body, all they needed next was none other than the one controlling it.
Noel was beginning to form the organ that controlled the Spiritual Energy, the Spirit Mind.
The process was not that much different from when he created the Spirit Heart. He condensed all that energy and wrapped it around his human brain.
The remaining energy continued flowing into that brain and created the remaining outer layer of the Spirit Mind.
Noel could feel a sharp pain all around his brain. After all, the surge of energy was extrely powerful due to the fact that two Spirit Seals were sending the energy simultaneously.
Noel began gritting his teeth, enduring the pain quietly. This was not the ti for him to scream or alarm his grandfather.
He persisted for two hours and the outer layer had begun taking the shape. Little by little, he began opening a passage for the rest of the Spiritual Energy to fill up the Spirit Mind.
At first, it felt like blood rushing into his head. But soon, his brain felt warm as Ardagan had planted the seed of his elent. This seed would manifest in the Spirit Mind, fully controlling the fla energy.
The warmth was perfect as it made Noel feel relaxed. Unfortunately, that comfort only lasted for an hour before the temperature rose even further. Noel was gasping for air as though the liquid in his head had completely evaporated.
Luckily, before sothing happened, a cool breeze flowed through his veins and lowered the temperature.
This chilling sensation ca from Heisk. The latter appeared to be using her full power in order to lower the temperature.
Heisk had created an opportunity for Noel. By lowering the temperature, he could continue with the next step.
He planted those two seeds in his mind and nurtured them with Spiritual Energy. This way, the pure Spiritual Energy began to be influenced by both sides, creating two sides of opposite elents.
Normally, these opposite elents would clash with each other. But surprisingly, Ardagan controlled his own power and tried to harmonize with Heisk. The harmonization gave the sensation of a whirlpool of two liquids that were being stirred to fuse with each other.
Sadly, the two opposite elents might be able to live in harmony, but they, by no ans, could fuse.
As a result, Noel could feel the intermittent temperature during the whole process. While it wasn't as painful, he was certainly uncomfortable.
Noel knew that the absorbing process didn't last for a long ti. Breaking through to the Spirit Grandmaster required a lot of ti.
Just waiting for the two elents to harmonize alone took at least three hours. Noel had to endure all the uncomfortable feelings for that long.
Even then, it wasn't over. Once the Spirit Mind was established, it would form a connection with the Spirit Heart. Forming one Spirit Vein that would connect both of them.
The vein had to be strengthened by the Fire and Ice energy. After that, the energy all over Noel's body had to be washed anew. Instead of the normal pure energy he usually used, he could only use two types of energy.
In other words, his energy wouldn't match with anyone other than him anymore. This was one of the features that a Spirit Grandmaster had. It was true that having this unique energy would cause them to be unable to help anyone, this also showed the value of Force Control that Old Ru was talking about.
Noel didn't have the pure Spiritual Energy anymore, but he could still use the Force Control to direct the energy within soone's body to heal them.
In addition, by having this new type of energy, his power would be amplified threefold at the very least. It was no wonder Anna could cause such a commotion.
There was such a big difference between the Spirit Grandmaster and Spirit Master.
More importantly, Noel's sense was heightened to a level where he could feel his own veins. It could be said that because the veins had been strengthened by those two elents, he sensed those elents instead of the veins. This was the reason for Spirit Grandmasters being able to recover from their injuries quicker than anyone below that level.
If Anna had reached this level before using the True Spirit Body, the broken veins could easily be sensed and she would control her own energy to patch up those holes herself.
For Noel, who had just finished linking the Spirit Mind and the Spirit Heart, the next process was torture.
By gathering all the pure energy into the Spirit Heart and changing their elent through the Spirit Mind before spreading it again, Noel felt like he was dying a few tis.
At one ti, he felt so dry as though every liquid, including his blood, vanished from his body. At another ti, he felt so energetic that he had a hard ti focusing on controlling his energy.
More importantly, once the unique energy was released back to the entire body, it was like he was being boiled alive and frozen again and again.
At one point, Noel couldn't even feel a single thing from his body. He didn't know how much ti had passed.
All he could do was to make sure that this process didn't cause any injuries or encounter any mishaps.
Noel said once that he needed to beco a Spirit Grandmaster before being able to master his Undying Fire.
Now that he had this new energy and sharper senses, Noel could asure the temperature and characteristics of the fire energy that enhanced his body.
By mastering that fire, he also created stability within the Undying Fire, allowing his veins to have the sa temperature, amount of energy, and heat.
He registered all that into his Spirit Mind, allowing Heisk's ice to match Ardagan's fla before re-harmonizing them.
In other words, Noel had just experienced the breakthrough two tis. By this ti, Raincart grew worried, thinking that sothing must have happened.
Fortunately, he understood the fact that the true nature of two spirits residing in one's body wasn't fully recorded. So, unless Noel showed any signs of failure, he wouldn't stop him.
Approximately forty hours after he began absorbing the Demon Crystals, Noel gradually opened his eyes.
The Spiritual Energy surprisingly changed its attribute when it made contact with his skin.
'So, this is the realm of fusion. By synchronizing the Spirit Mind and the Spirit Heart, the nature of my energy changes to match the unique ability that my spirits have. In my case, it's the ice and fire energy. Thanks to Ardagan and Heisk doing their best to harmonize the two opposite elents, the energy is stable.'
Ardagan also showed his confirmation by sending the completion of his mission.
[Mission: Advancing to the Spirit Grandmaster]
[Description: After mastering the Undying Fire, it's ti to beco the Spirit Grandmaster.]
[Reward: Spirit Step]
'Spirit Step, huh? By using the explosiveness of my fire elent, I can increase my speed to the extre. That's quite good in battle. I don't know if it can match Anna's speed though.'
'In any case, I have officially beco a Spirit Grandmaster. Now, I understand why Spirit Grandmasters can look down upon those who are below them. Dimitri's worries are also justified.'
'I don't know how much ti has passed, but it's clear that I took longer than I needed…' Noel rubbed his belly. Even though he was a Spirit Grandmaster, not eating for almost two days surely took a toll on his body.
'Let's just recuperate and understand my current power before continuing the next step.' Noel took a deep breath, calming his excitent down. He rose from the ground, signaling Raincart and the guards that he had finished.
