Chapter 1027
Maxine briefly introduced the concept of True Energy Materialization to James.
True Energy Materialization was the process of releasing True Energy, controlling it, and modifying it into any shape.
"Try it out, James."
Maxine did not know what rank James currently was, nor did James himself.
That was because no one had explained to him the differences between ranks.He only knew that by opening up his meridians,
he had made a breakthrough into the fifth rank.
James catalyzed True Energy.
The energy flowed through the meridians in his arm and gathered in his palm.
Then, white light glowed from it, but the light dissipated almost immediately.
"What the hell?"
James was puzzled.
Maxine explained, "James, you should currently be at peak fifth rank.
You’re just a step away from reaching the sixth rank.
However, judging by the potency of your True Energy, I believe it’s only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, during your battle with Donovan, you only managed to defeat him because of the potency of your True Energy, which
even exceeded that of a sixth-rank martial artist, and the support of the Invincible Body Siddhi."
"I see...I’m only at peak fifth rank."
James was disappointed.
Though he absorbed the True Energy of a peak seventh-rank martial artist, he had only reached peak fifth-rank.
James’ expression made Maxine laugh.
"Be content with what you have, James.Throughout history, you're perhaps the only one to have reached such a rank at your
age.Besides, you haven’t completely absorbed True Energy yet.I could see some residue in your limbs.Again, as I said, it’s only
a matter of time before you reach the sixth rank.Two months is all you need."
Upon hearing this, a grin crept up on James’ face.
Maxine continued, "Your True Energy is now strong enough.Next, you'll have to focus on martial arts.The Blithes Fist of
Abomination is extremely powerful.Even grandpa is fearful of it.In fact, he had two objectives in mind when he decided to marry
me off to the Blithes: One, Enter into an alliance with the Blithes.Two: Steal the Blithes Fist of Abomination.You have to work
hard from now on."
"Indeed." James nodded.
He knew the power of the Blithes Fist of Abomination.
If he could master the Tenth Fist, he would be undefeatable.
Cynthia sighed and said enviously, "You guys have managed to cultivate true Energy, but look at me! I can’t cultivate it no matter
how hard I try.I’m so useless."
Maxine consoled her, "There’s no need to rush things.It won’t be easy cultivating True Energy.After all, there would be
grandmasters everywhere if things were that simple.You have an aptitude for cultivating, so I believe you can do it if you try hard
enough.Once you manage to cultivate True Energy, you can cultivate the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides’ Edge alongside
James."Speaking of which, Maxine looked at James and asked, "Have you eaten the Sacred Fire Fig?"
James shook his head.
"Not yet."
Maxine said, "You should eat it as soon as possible.Your True Energy is now strong enough.If you can convert them to True
Yang Energy, the power of the Blithes Fist of Abomination will be greatly boosted."
"Mhm." James nodded.
Quincy who had been listening intently to the conversation yawned.She was not interested in martial arts at all.She stood up and
said, "I’m tired after working for a whole day.I still have another day of work at the company tomorrow."
She stood up and headed upstairs.
"I’m tired too.I’m going back to my room.You guys go on."
Cynthia stood up and headed upstairs too.
Soon, only Maxine, Thea, and James remained.
Cough! Cough! Maxine suddenly coughed.She covered her mouth but vomited a mouthful of blood, which stained her palms.
"Are you alright?" Thea asked.
