Chapter 25: Path Of Advancent.
Muni gave them more targeted thods to improve energy manipulation skills, other than just cultivation. The most effective of which was practicing the usage of tacs.
After his lecture, Muni allowed them to ask questions. Loki also asked a question because he had sothing important that he wanted to know.
He raised his hand and said, "How can we get the secret to advance our Core tac to rank 2?"
Muni replied with an exasperated tone, saying, "Every Core tac has a different thod of advancent. You can either buy the thod for advancent from the sect for 1,000 energy stones."
This price surprised Loki, so he exclaid as he asked, "So cheap?"
His question made Muni sneer and said, "That’s just for the advancent thod. You will also need the materials to advance, and that can cost an extra 2,000 energy stones."
Loki still thought that the 3,000 energy stones for the rank 2 Core tac were cheap, but he didn’t say it. He kept his mouth shut so as not to anger Muni by calling thousands of energy stones cheap.
Muni ignored him and continued with his class. For the rest of the class, Loki behaved well and learned everything that he was supposed to learn like a good student. Then he went ahead to create trouble as soon as class finished.
The trouble he wanted to cause was also the most unlawful one. This trouble was that he was going to kill soone for sothing of theirs that he had his eyes on.
Ever since they were given Core tacs, he has had his eyes on this other classmate of his who had been given the Telepathy tac. This put her on the pathway of mind hunters as opposed to his pathway of forging.
There shouldn’t have been any problems between them since they were on different pathways. But Loki still went after her to kill her.
He quickly killed her and devoured her new Core tac. Then he reversed ti even before Muni could co to punish him for his transgression.
After returning to the mont of awakening, the first thing he did was to check his state of existence using the Power Identification Ability.

The most important change to him is that he has gained two more energy chambers after devouring the Telekinesis tac and the Telepathy tac.
This made him nod and say, "Core tacs are indeed what Fenrir wants to eat. I wonder what is so special about them that gives them so much more substance than Branch tacs."
This developnt is a good thing for him as it ans more energy to use. If what Muni said about the importance of the size of one’s energy well is to the power of rank 2, cultivators, then having 5 energy chambers will be a great boon to him.
However, there is also so bad news with this developnt. The bad news is that he has reached his limit of how many tacs he can devour.
Right now, he feels as if his energy well is on the brink of bursting. So this limit feels more like a bottleneck on his part.
He can feel that Fenrir itself hasn’t reached its limit. It still has room to grow. But his energy well has reached its limit after being forced to contain four other energy chambers of an equal size.
This limit made him unhappy. But he couldn’t complain about Fenrir. He could only bla his own weakness.
After the awakening, he went with the others to their accommodations. He didn’t even glance at Slav or think about stalking anyone else. This was because he had reached the limit of his appetite. Anymore, and he would literally burst wide open.
So he behaved himself for the rest of the day and the following day. But when the market opened, and he got the opportunity to gamble, he went wild with reckless abandon.
He gambled until he won 80,000 energy stones. Then he went to buy Cloudy Date tacs to increase the cultivation of his two new energy chambers.
He didn’t need as many 80,000 energy stones for what he had in mind. 15,000 energy stones would be good enough for what he minds. But since he knew that the Rein Family wouldn’t let him go for having this much money, he decided to go all out on winning.
The six Cloudy Date tacs cost him a hefty 12,000 energy stones. This was because he didn’t get any discount.
The shop manager said that he bought too few Cloudy Date tacs and wasn’t eligible for discounts. Loki didn’t argue with him about this because he wasn’t going to live long enough to spend the money.
So he quickly got what he wanted before he rushed over to the rank 2 ch pilot with whom he struck up a conversation the first ti he ca to the market.
When he got to the man, he said, "Can you tell
how to advance the Telekinesis tac to rank 2?"
The man stopped what he was doing and gave Loki a once-over. Once he was done examining Loki, he furrowed his brows and said, "You don’t look like a second-generation cultivator? You look more like a slave, so how did you find out about the Core tac of the pathway of forging?"
Loki replied, "Does it matter how I found out about it?"
The man nodded and said, "You’re right. It doesn’t matter to ."
Then he returned to what he was doing on the workbench.
As he worked, he asked Loki, "But why should I tell you how to grow stronger?"
Loki took out a pouch and dangled it in front of him before saying, "I have money."
