Chapter 671 Mastering Three Skills Simultaneously
It was Maeve!
Ethan couldn't believe it. Maeve's soul had actually left Requiem Tower and was hiding in his Sea of Consciousness!
However, Maeve seemed to be in a deep sleep, lying quietly in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness without any reaction at all!
If it weren't for the still incredibly strong presence of Maeve's consciousness, he would have suspected something was wrong!
What on earth was going on? Could it be that Winford did this?
"He actually released Maeve from Requiem Tower!" Ethan was shocked by this only possible explanation, but he couldn't make sense of it!
"Did he really do this?" Francis asked, frowning.
"Who else could it be? Maeve herself said that unless I reached the Golden Core Stage, there was no way to break the contract between her and Requiem Tower. At that time, only he could have done it!" Ethan nodded with a bitter smile.
"So, he might not be a bad person. At least he just took back what belonged to them and returned what didn't belong to them to you!" Angela reminded him matter-of-factly.
"Then what did he give me to eat?" Ethan's face was full of uncertainty!
The condition of his body was too strange!
His Sea of Qi and consciousness power were fine, but his physical body was incredibly weak!
And it was a condition that even his own medical skills couldn't change!
"Your condition suggests he gave you some kind of pill to change your physique. Let me see if I can find any clues!" Francis frowned, and as soon as he finished speaking, he placed a hand on Ethan's wrist to diagnose his condition.
After a moment, Francis showed a slightly surprised expression and spoke in an uncertain tone. "Hmm? This is strange!"
"What's strange?" Ethan frowned as well.
"Your body is indeed very weak, but it's growing rapidly. At this rate, you can feel yourself changing day by day. In a few days, you'll be back to normal, and your body will be even stronger than before!" Francis explained after feeling for a while longer.
"So, what Winford gave Ethan is not harmful but actually very beneficial?" Angela's eyes lit up, and her worried expression eased significantly!
If he could recover soon and be even stronger than before, wasn't that a good thing?
"Are you sure?" Ethan asked, still full of doubt.
"You should feel it yourself. The current you and the you who just woke up are vastly different. As time goes on, you can clearly feel your body getting stronger bit by bit!" Francis reminded him confidently.
Ethan was stunned. He had to admit, his condition was indeed improving. Although he still felt weak, at least he was fully conscious now.
"Winford must have given you a Body Fortifying pill!" Francis suddenly said, his tone carrying a hint of excitement, almost shouting!
"Is this thing powerful?" Ethan was still confused, not knowing what this pill represented, hearing about it for the first time.
"It's an ancient and very potent pill for strengthening the body. There are records of it in the SA Guild's ancient texts. I recognized it because I had read about it before! Your current condition matches exactly with someone who has taken a Body Fortifying pill!" Francis nodded confidently.
"What will be the final effect?" Ethan was more concerned about what he would ultimately become.
"You'll die!" Francis was stunned for a moment, then bluntly spat out a few words!
This shocked not only Ethan but also Angela and her family.
"Don't worry, I said you'll die because of the pill's nature, not because the pill itself is deadly! How should I explain this... Simply put, you must keep growing to adapt to the enormous benefits the pill brings! If one day you can't handle the energy from the pill, you might explode and die!" Francis finally explained the possible consequences of the Body Fortifying pill.
"You mean, like taking too many supplements and not being able to handle it?" Ethan immediately understood Francis's point.
"That's about right. So, from the moment you took the Body Fortifying pill, your body will undergo a complete transformation, starting from the weakest state and gradually becoming stronger. This process could be very long or very short, depending on each person's situation!" Francis explained with a serious expression.
"So, you mean I have to keep training my body to increase its strength?" Ethan frowned, fully understanding Francis's point.
"Exactly, and you're in luck. The SA Guild's ancient texts do have a manual on ancient body training techniques, the only one about body training. It not only includes daily training requirements but also introduces some pills and other aids for body training. It's quite complex!" Francis sighed with a mix of relief and helplessness.
"I'm lucky? Can I take that as sarcasm?" Ethan was speechless!
If the SA Guild's ancient texts only had one body training manual, did that mean he had no choice?
If the manual didn't work, and he couldn't keep up with the pill's effects, wouldn't he die?
"I'm not joking. You should know that ancient practitioners of the path to immortality were divided into three types: Qi training, body training, and soul training! Qi training is the most common and basic, like what you and I did before. The ZF knack is a top-tier Qi training manual!" Francis glared at Ethan and explained.
"Is soul training about training the power of consciousness?" Ethan's heart skipped a beat!
"Yes, and the last one is body training. Most practitioners focus on one type, or exceptionally talented individuals might train in two. But mastering all three is extremely rare; only top-tier geniuses or powerful leaders can do that!" Francis seemed to hint at something, staring at Ethan.
Ethan raised his eyebrows. He hadn't told Francis everything, but he must have noticed that Ethan's Sea of Consciousness was far stronger than a typical master level, even reaching the level of a Golden Core Stage practitioner!
In terms of soul training, he was already far ahead of ordinary practitioners!
Plus, with the ZF knack for Qi training and now the forced body training, wouldn't he be training all three simultaneously?
