Skyward Over God

7 Maiden of Fire

He then stood up and walked over to a stone platform that was over the exit tunnel for the subterrene stream. Next to him was an 8-foot pile of 2 Star Magic Beasts Bones that he piled up in preparation for this event, he then used his telekinesis hands to crush and compress the matter into a 3-inch spherical Pure Bone Pill.

Placing the 80-pound pill under his tongue, Fei Lei sat down in the lotus position and activated his personal sigil, the room lit up with a grey light as he flooded his brain with the natural painkiller dopamine, his body began to make creaking noises, and his muscles began to squirm like millions of worms were crawling along the surface of his skin.

Little by little the muscles began to collapse into singular fibers and shrink into his body, slowly being weaved back together like a spider's web, suddenly the molecular structure of his muscles took on a new property, it had both the same strength and endurance as before, but became just as flexible as spider silk.

As his muscles reformed they all slapped down onto his bones with incredible pressure, he could feel his new muscles fracturing every bone in his body, instead of backing off, Fei Lei gritted his teeth and pushed even harder, suddenly crushing his bones into dust. Even though he had doped himself up, he just experienced the most painful thing in his life, Fei Lei screamed out in pain as he felt his body growing limp, he held the shape of his bones together with his telekinesis and slowly began to reshape it.

He felt like his whole body was soaking in lava, fighting through the agonizing pain, he barely managed to swallow the pill as he felt his body become charged with additional marrow to manipulate. He quickly directed it to his bones and began to shape his new skeleton, he started by adding in armored joints, he didn't add any new elbows or knees, but created several sections of joints, linking all of his limbs together and reinforcing them several times over like armor.

Next, he worked on his torso, Feil Lei had slowly changed the shape of his ribs, they grew out a cover layer removing the gaps between his ribs like an armor, next he started tucking in his organs so they wouldn't rattle around, and then began creating webbed exoskeletons to guard all of his organs, even around his heart.

Next was the most important part, his spine. While he rebuilt his spinal cord, it received a massive influx of Marrow and started to glow as he reshaped the thin cord into an extremely complex webbed structure, his spinal nerve roots began to branch out in the shape of a wire conductor, he spun the trillions of filaments millions of times over in a concentric stranding, after placing over a thick and flexible layer over his spinal nerve roots, he then created an outer conductor built like a mesh that covered everything back to his spine.

This would increase the rate in which electrical impulses could travel through his nerves, thus, there would no longer be a lag between the messages sent from his brain to his body, they would act as one, perfectly in tune with each other, as well as increase his overall reaction speeds.

He began to alter the structure of his skull to perfectly fit his brain when it reached full maturity, once it stopped growing there would be no room for the brain to be shaken, he started to add several new cones in his eyes vision receptors, creating trillions of new cons and rods that would enhance his sight beyond human levels.

Lastly, he completely reformed his skeleton while increasing the carbon densities of his marrow, his bones turned into a dark grey color, and suddenly began to produce denser blood cells, stronger blood cells that radiated a few degrees hotter than normal humans. His body began to glow as he focused in on his Nature Gods Breath, it was as if every cell in his body came to life and learned to breathe, pulling in the oxygen sending a powerful source of vital energy throughout his physique.

He stood up completely naked, once again covered in filth and dried blood, he jumped into the river washing off the impurities, before jumping back out of the water with a completely new body, not an ounce of his muscle could be seen and he looked like a frail lady killer.

Fei Lei breathed in and felt the wind start to gather around him, his skin had turned a light pinkish color from the lack of sunlight, after stretching out, Fei Lei walked back to his room, putting on his Combat Gi, he then headed outside and felt the world a new, all of his senses were heightened to an entirely new plateau.

His body felt lighter than air, but carried all the mass of a 300 pounds of muscle, he took a step forward didn't make a single noise, it was as if his body was a feather, he smelled the air around him noticing that he could distinguish the different scents of everything in a 10-mile radius, he looked out into the distance to discover his eyes could see as well as a hawk, and even his sense of touch was amplified, of course he could control this so that he could numb it to normal human levels, but at max sensitivity he could feel the direction and wind force's exact MPH as if he were reading the air like some sort of machine.

He lept out into the forest, reborn as a superior human being, his speed was incredible as his image turned into a blur when he started to leap across trees and the forest terrain, jumping off the top of the tallest tree's branch in view, he shot into the sky, as he took to the sky he saw the whole forest he started to laugh, and create footholds with his telekinesis as he ran across them going full speed.

After strolling around he saw that the sun was starting to set, so he started to head back to his cave.

In the far distance near his cave, a young girl could be seen riding on a land running bird-like creature, a group of men were in hot pursuit riding on the same type of beast, "Come on Kuro, their catching up!" The girl said as she tapped her legs against the bird's waist, "KURRA!" The bird chirped as it began to run even faster, when all of the sudden it made a hard turn, nocking the young woman into a river that was connected to Fei Lei's cave, the bird, however, ran off like a bat out of hell in the other direction.

To the people that were chasing her, they couldn't see the woman fall and foolishly continued to chase after the fleeing bird, who was only getting faster now that it had ditched its rider.

The girl was struggling to swim as the current led her through an underground passage, her head popped out of the water as she took a large breath of air and swam her way to the nearest shore she could find.

As she pulled herself out of the water she laughed, "You failed to kill me again, cousin!" As she started to laugh with a sense of sorrow as she stood up and casted a level 0 fire spell, Dry.

Her cloak and everything under it dried up and emitted a glow of faint steam from her body, she started to look around and said, "Where the hell am I? Did I die and end up at King Yama's castle!?"

She was fascinated by the architecture as she approached it, placing her hand on the bridge, she walked over the moat towards the center of the castle, "Hello, King Yama!?" the young girl's pleasing voice called out.

After not hearing any answer she decided to go inside, "Is this an Inheritance Site left by some great ancestor." She started to get her hopes up when she uncovered Fei Lei's storeroom.

It was filled to the brim with rare materials that he had gathered over the time he had spent here, and what attracted her attention the most was 300 or so chests, full of magical beast cores that shined like blood rubies, she noticed that it mostly contained 1 and 2-star ranking cores, but a small chest was actually filled up with 3 star magic beast cores.

She was about to reach her hand out, ready to start helping herself to the hoard, when a cold voice echoed behind her, "Get out!"

She turned around to see one of the most handsome men she had ever seen before, even the scars across his cheeks added a hint of danger to his baby face making him seem all the more desirable.

The killing intent rolling off his body scared her at first, but after using an expensive item to scan his Mana Ranking, she scoffed, "I found this place first! I don't know who you are, but don't you know the rules on inheritance sites and world dungeons?!"

Fei Lei growled, "This isn't any of those things, everything you see here I built and obtained with my own two hands, this is my home! What you are doing is stealing, now LEAVE!"

"You honestly expect me to believe that a weak Adept like you is capable of that..." Before she could continue he disappeared before her eyes, and reappeared directly in front of her, "Last chance, leave my home before I throw you out on your ass!"

The girl was stunned, "How did he move so fast, did he use the wind hast spell, I didn't see him move or cast anything!" She thought before saying, "How dare you to use such foul language in front of a noble, apologize before I burn your mouth off!" She wasn't actually going to do so, she merely wanted to scare him and let him know that she was a rank higher than him.

She waved her hands when flames started to manifest, as a level 0 sigil for the word Scorching Blaze-Heart appeared on her forehead, the flames shot out towards him as he took a deep breath and as his stomach inflated, shouted at the top of his lungs, "GET OUT!"

The flames vanished when it made an impact from the vibrations in his powerful voice, it scattered across the air and shoved the girl over, sending her rolling back into a pile of Beast Furs.

"What the hell was that!?" The girl thought in fright, she felt her entire body ached as she tried to sit up, but she suddenly felt her body go light as he carried her with his telekinesis hand. While he was gripping her like a doll, he led her towards the entrance of his cave home. Seeing how well he knew his way around the cave she realized that he was probably telling her the truth about living here.

She tried to struggle free, but couldn't even gather the strength to lift her hand to complete a spell, she was stuck. As she got closer to the exit she started to remember the assassins that her cousin had sent after her, were roaming the forest looking for her.

She started to break down in panic and cry, "Woo, woo! I going to die, mother, father, I'm sorry I won't be able to see your smiling faces again, I'm going to be violated and tossed out like a rag doll!"

Fei Lei froze and said, "I don't know you or want you in that way, I just want to get you out of my home, and forget this place exists."

"Now this moronic brute monster thinks I'm talking about him, woo, woo," The girl cried back, making Fei Lei frown, "Did you lead others here!?" Fei Lei shouted.
