After eating, Cloud goes back into his room.
He plan to continue cultivating until he break through to Qi Gathering Realm.
Cloud felt that on the last session, he managed to accumulate a significant amount of qi.
With the help of the pill, he feels that he has already seventy percent away from the threshold of Qi Gathering Realm.
So he has already accumulate about thirty percent of the amount necessary for a break through.
As for how he knows the threshold, he doesn't really know. He can just feel it as he cultivates.
Cloud cultivates again after entering his room. He took another pill and he doesn't stop until the pill's effects are gone.
A whole day passed as Cloud cultivates. At noon on the next day, inside Cloud's room, the qi around Cloud suddenly becomes violent.
Some of the qi condensed then crashed into Cloud's body.
Four condensed qi is bombarding him one after another.
Cloud keep his focus on his cultivation. He is currently in an important stage of the breakthrough.
If he is distracted at this stage, he can experience a backlash. The qi inside of him would turn wild and start rampaging inside his meridian.
It could then hurt his meridian and turn him into a cripple in a worse case scenario.
So even though Cloud clearly felt the condensing qi around him, he still let those qi hit him without defending at all.
Instead, he gritted his teeth and focus deeper on the breakthrough process.
After four consecutive hit from the condensed qi, some blood start to leak from Cloud's mouth.
It was only a small ball of condensed qi but Cloud felt the impact was like being hit by a bowling ball.
Even though his body is already very strong and he wouldn't feel a thing if a bowling ball hit him hard, he still feel the damage.
Its like he was hit by a bowling ball when his body is just a weak, human body.
After getting through the bombardment, Cloud continue focusing on the breakthrough.
The qi inside his meridian that was surging wildly is starting to calm down.
His meridian that felt full before is starting to enlarge because of the surging qi.
Now that the qi has calmed down, the meridian would soon be ready to take in more qi for further stage of the realm.
For now, Cloud has successfully break through and he need to let his body rest and adjust.
After exhaling and opening his eyes, Cloud check his injuries.
There are some bruises on his body and some slight internal injuries, but nothing serious.
He only need to rest for a while to recover.
He think about what happened and to him, it seems to be some sort of tribulation.
But he never heard of such a small tribulation. Xiao Han also didn't mention such a thing on his explanation.
Cloud has also done some research about breaking through to Qi Gathering Realm but he never heard of a tribulation.
Since he can't find the answer to this right away, Cloud set aside the thought for the time being.
He is going outside the building to stretch his stiff body. He also need to prepare to go and report his breakthrough.
After stretching outside for a while and enjoying the fresh air, Cloud then go back inside to eat.
After eating, he go to the back to wash and bathe.
When he's done, he put on a clean clothes and prepare to go report his breakthrough.
He was told to report to Xiao Han when he successfully broken through so that's where Cloud is going next.
Today, Xiao Han should still be explaining about the Qi Gathering Realm so Cloud go to the hall where he is supposed to be at.
When Cloud arrive, Xiao Han has just done with the explanation for the day.
When he look at Cloud, Xiao Han said, "You must have break through already. Let's go, I'll take you to the administration hall." He is not surprised.
It's normal that Cloud can breakthrough so fast. Even though the others who doesn't have Qi Gathering Pills would take a lot longer to break through.
Cloud who does have the pill should indeed have break through already around this time. So it's not surprising.
The administration hall is the place where the Sect's outer ground deal with administration and other related matter.
Xiao Han brought Cloud to the hall and explain his successful break through to the elder that's in charge of the place.
The elder is surprised at first but he understand after seeing Cloud.
It has only been a few days so it is very early for someone to have successfully broken through already.
But the elder was present at the competition yesterday so he knows about Cloud winning and getting the pills as rewards.
After Xiao Han's report, the elder tell a deciple working at the hall to register Cloud and give him the necessary things.
The deciple record Cloud's information and give him two robes along with one wooden plaque that has a number written on it.
The plaque is small and circle like the moon. It can be hold with one hand. The number written are 1017.
The disciple explain when he saw Cloud looking at the plaque with a questioning gaze.
He explains that it is the courtyard number of the personal courtyard that Cloud is going to stay at.
Then the disciple also explains the privilege and duty of an outer disciple.
Outer disciple get a private courtyard and two qi stones every month.
But they also need to have a certain amount of contribution points every month.
If they can't earn the necessary contribution points for two months in a row then they would have to leave the sect.
