It looked white gas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with his red colored chi, it was present everywhere in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian focused and tried to control it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it did not respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What's happening?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He endured the pain from his wounds and continued to force the space power. It was like an untamed beast, rolling everywhere and wrecking havoc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure around his body slowly increased, and Varian was beginning to feel suffocated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can do something. Yes.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He observed the black swirls. They were in direct contact with his space power and they felt like… part of the same group. They were together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'First, control it.' Varian focused on his chi and fortunately, it was still under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He controlled the chi and wrapped it around the space power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white gas wriggled and tried to shake off chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure on him began to multiply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian felt like someone was clutching his neck and suffocating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he persisted, and the pressure slowly subsided in a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is not a solution.' Varian kept his calm and tried to think of a solution. The aching pain of his injuries only made it harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'My space power is not under my control. But a high level space awakener wouldn't have this problem.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Because their space sense is integrated with their space power. Unlike me, I can only order it to move. They move it like it's their hand. I move it like it's my remote controlled car.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aha!\" Varian found the solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Status'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Body Path level 2: 200\u002F200\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space Path Level 1: 100\u002F100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'My only choice is to advance. To enter level 2, space sense must be integrated with space power.' Varian felt the space around him began to solidify once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could try to keep the space power down forever. But that would mean focusing on it every minute and not using chi at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing that here was suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only solution was to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used his chi to hold the space power in place. At the same time, he spread his space sense around his space power and tried to penetrate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space sense wasn't tangible, but he could feel it trying to enter the space power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the entry was denied again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It is not working.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian kept trying, and a few minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To integrate space sense, he needed way more time. But he didn't have any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, he was risking his life sitting in the open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on!\" He tried to push through the blockage and enter the space power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh\" The space power back lashed and the space around him was blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was completely squeezed from all sides, and Varian felt like he would be crushed to paste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped his attempt. The pressure decreased to the beginning levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" He punched the ground and clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pebble prickle his skin. Varian was irritated and was about to throw it away when, all of a sudden, the space power in his body calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" He checked his palm and saw a few pebbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were normal gravel except one tiny black one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probed it with his space sense and felt it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat similar to spacort but different. It was more pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is this a space stone?' His breath stagnated and without hesitation, he forced his chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chi wrapped a small portion of the space power and channeled it into the space stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, pure space power flowed back into Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian used his space sense to join with this pure space power, and it integrated with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like opening a new door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That segment of space power joined the existing space power in his body and his space sense also followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian had a surreal feeling. The space power was now integrated with his space sense and it was akin to his third arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could control it with ease, and no force could take the control from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Out of my body!\" Varian willed and the next moment, the black swirls were pushed out of his space power and left his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha!\" Varian sighed in deep relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chi in his body suddenly boiled, and its connection to the body made a leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Advancing to Level 2 Space Path]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Advancing to Level 3 Body Path]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Varian was pleasantly surprised by his body path advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large chunk of aura crystals in his space ring disappeared.

It was tough, but you used everything you had and survived.] The System greeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't reply. He was almost dead if he hadn't fought that space stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So was finding that space stone a 'compensation' or 'balance' to the danger he faced?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Varian was more curious about his current status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Status'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Body Path level 3: 0\u002F400\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greater Human: 70%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space Path Level 2: 0\u002F200]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Varian pumped his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the peak of Level 2, his stats were only 40% Greater Human.

Magic Beasts were very strict about their hierarchy and wouldn't leave their zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, that meant the outer zone had level 3 beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This did not fit any dungeon dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at the white barrier and recalled the hostile dark space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at the space stone in his hand.
