《Death... and me》Chapter 32: Breakthrough
Advertisement
Rean and Roan looked at each other, puzzled.
"What is this thing? It sounds like a machine."
Roan shook his head.
"I've never heard about anything like that before. There was no such thing back in our Universe either. A machine that can connect Souls? Soul Gem System? I have no idea what this thing is. First of all, is it even a machine?"
[Process: 15%...]
Rean and Roan changed their focus to the White and Black Orb. Other than the two of them, no one else could see it. It was easy to see the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Stones rushing inside. However...
"We don't have enough Spirit Stones, what should we do? If it continues like this, our meridians might close or even get damaged."
[Process: 37%...]
In just 10 minutes, more than half of their Spirit Stones already turned into dust.
"No other choice, let's rush to Alanda's house and beg. Grab the remaining Spirit Stones, and let's go. Once he sees how much Spirit Stones is rushing inside us, we might be able to convince him."
Roan had to admit that there was no other place at the moment. Sure, Juri was also an option, but it would be hard to reach his house without being stopped. Unfortunately, they don't have time to discuss it with others.
Rean and Roan rushed out of the room and went through the house's exit. Hamarlia saw the two leaving in a flash, but only shook her head before sighing.
"I wonder what kind of bet they made this time."
The people who saw Rean and Roan running were surprised by their speed. They didn't know that kids could be this fast. Even the warriors on the way gasped at that since they weren't any faster.

"Aren't those Rean and Roan? Where are they going this fast?"
"Probably to Alanda's house. After all, he is the one in charge of this year's kids. Still, was it me, or they were absorbing Spiritual Energy like there was no tomorrow?"
"You saw that too? I noticed that they were holding Spirit Stones as well. I hope they are not wasting it since Spirit Stones are hard to get."
Rean and Roan only took 5 minutes to arrive at the Tribe Vice Leader's residence. Without even asking the guard in the front, they rushed inside.
"Hey, stop there, brats!"
Too late, Rean and Roan were no slower than him!
Ren and Roan barged into Alanda's living room and found him reading a few documents on the table.
"Brats, just wait until I get you."
Alanda looked at Rean and Roan with a puzzled face. But right after, he noticed the ridiculous amount of Spiritual Energy rushing into them.
The guard arrived right after and was just about to grab them when Alanda spoke.
"Leave them be, also, go outside."
The guard didn't understand why Alanda wasn't angry but followed the orders nonetheless.
"Yes, Tribe Vice Leader."
The guard soon disappeared, leaving only Rean and Roan with Alanda.
"What is happening with you two? What is all this Spiritual Energy?"
Suddenly, Rean and Roan knelled on the ground.
"Tribe Vice Leader, please help us! We need spirit stones urgently; otherwise, our meridians might get damaged!"
"What?!"
Alanda was Taken aback. If it was anyone else, he would have kicked them out already. However, seeing the crazy amount of Spiritual Energy entering their bodies and the Spirit Stones in their hands, he found it hard to not be shocked.
"What have you done?"

Rean and Roan looked at each other and nodded.
"We opened our 104th meridian, and then this happened."
Alanda thought that he heard it wrong.
"104th? What 104th? There is no 104th meridian! Are you making fun of me?!"
Rean and Roan immediately shook their heads.
"It is true. If Tribe Vice Leader wishes, you just need to check our bodies."
Rean and Roan had no other choice other than saying that. Of course, they kept the White and Black Threads and the Yin Yang Soul Gem out of this conversation. After all, only they could see it anyway. The only thing that Alanda would be able to feel is their extra meridian.
Sure enough, Alanda touched their bodies and sent a wave os Spiritual Energy inside. After that, he used his Spiritual Sense to see the lightened meridians. As hard as it was to believe, there were really 104 meridians in the twins' bodies!
[Process: 53%...]
By now, Rean and Roan were almost without Spirit Stones.
Alanda noticed that they weren't joking. He gritted his teeth and disappeared from the living room. Just a few seconds later, he brought another hundred Spirit Stones!
But before Rean and Roan could reach it, Alanda warned.
"After this is over, you will follow me into Juri's house and explain everything, including this abnormal intelligence of yours."
Rean and Roan didn't mind. They knew that Juri and Alanda noticed that they were not ordinary a long time ago. It was just that both sides decided to play dumb until now.
"We agree."
Alanda then passed 50 Spirit Stones for each one of them.
"I hope 50 Spirit Stones are enough. Also, you better be prepared to work extra hard to pay for all of them."
Rean and Roan didn't mind. They could simply keep taking first and second place for all those class activities later. Sooner or later, they would compensate for the amount.

[Process: 87%...]
[Process: 100%...]
[Soul Gem System Initialized.]
[Beginning the Analysis of the hosts' bodies... completed.]
[All Meridians Currently Opened.]
[Initiating Breakthrough.]
Rean and Roan looked shocked at each other.
"Are we going to enter the Energy Gathering Realm just like that?"
But before they could react, the breakthrough started.
[Yin and Yang Dantians Construction Initialized.]
Alanda looked at Rean and Roan and saw a sight that he would never forget. The twins' meridians started to shine, and he could see all of them in their bodies without the need for Spiritual Sense. Each canal was brightly lit.
Rean's ones shined with white color while Roan's were black.
Suddenly, at the place where the Dantian was located, one White and one Black Dantian began to form. Obviously, Rean had the White Dantian while Roan had the Black one. But the issue was that even Alanda could see it happening.
As the Dantians were formed, the brightly lit meridians also started to move inside their bodies, connecting with the Dantians Perfectly. The only thing that didn't move was the entrance of the meridians, which continued the same.
That was a sight to behold!
