Animeverse Slayer!

Only now did Leo truly understand how his spirit sense worked. Every spirit possess it's own unique energy and that is spirit energy, this energy is ephemeral and intangible.

The sphere of energy within him was something called Breath of life. From the information he got from Aruha, Dragon - Tiger Breathing is a skill to acc.u.mulate this energy and use it to refine his body. However refining is only one of the many aspects it has.

Breath of life, it is something present everywhere. Every object be it living or not would have it's Breath.

The biggest benefit of practicing Dragon - Tiger Breathing is that it can refine his body! But till now Leo was just getting the side benefits of it, if he was able to consciously regulate this "Breath" within him then the benefits he would get would be unimaginable.

But controlling "Breath" was impossible, till now Leo wasn't even able to sense this energy but now he can. What changed this situation? Leo already knew the answer.

Spirit! Spirit also had a modern term, Psychy!

His spirit broke through after his battle with Upper Moon Six! He was now able to sense the 'Breath' laying dorment inside his body.

Also, since his spirit broke through his spirit sense also got an upgrade. He was now able to see everything within a hundred meter with absolute clarity. It was like he was looking at everything through a 360 degree camera.

He calmed his raging heart and willed the ephemeral spirit. A second later Leo could feel it move but it was way too slow, like a turtle.

Two hours went by. Leo's forehead was drenched in sweat however a smile outlined his face. From the initial slow crawl he could feel his spirit floating around his body, it moved according to his will.

Leo took a deep breath. Spirit energy rushed forward like a tide and submerged inside the sphere filled with "Breath". Silence ensued.

A second later the "Breath" inside was stirred, it started to rotate. Slowly it picked up speed, it looked like a vortex, the roots branching off of the sphere started to light up, the glow intensified with each passing second and soon...

Boom!

A loud thunder echoed through Leo's mind, he grunted slightly. He felt as if thousands of needles were poking into his brain.

The "Breath" within the sphere started to wind through the energy pathways winding through his body. It winded through his bones, organs, limbs, flesh and skin, completing a cycle before returning.

As "Breath" winded through his body, it widened the energy pathways and removed any blockage within. He could sense those pathways absorb his 'Breath', they were getting tougher.

Leo's body was trembling from pain. His body was being torn inside out, his clothes were soaked in sweat and were sticking close to his body. The pain continued for three more hours before stopping.

After the pain left a wave of cooling sensation spread throughout his body. By now Leo was already sitting in a meditative position. He looked inside his body and smiled.

"Breath" coiled around his body like a massive serpent, it passed through every corner before returning to it's source, this cycle repeated itself. He could already feel his injuries healing rapidly, he reckoned that in two days he would be perfectly healed.

'So this is the real treasure Sir Aruha mentioned. I must say it truly deserves that praise.'

Still immersed in his training Leo didn't realize the sun peeking out of the mountains. A couple of hours after the sun rose up Kanae and Shinobu walked in while holding a pot of porridge.

Both of them were surprised to find Leo up so early. They thought he would sleep some more since his injury was heaviest.

"You are up so early."

Leo had already 'seen' them walking in. He opened his eyes and greeted them. Kanae smiled beautifully and put down the porridge. She sat beside the bed and started checking his injuries. Shinobu snorted and stayed silent.

When Kanae removed the bandages on his arms to check his wounds she was shocked. His wounds seemed to have closed! They haven't healed completely but a large part was already gone and forming scabs. It's now possible for him to move around.

"How is this possible?"

Shinobu standing beside her sister saw the oddity and craned her neck to have a look, she was also shocked and nearly yelled out.

"Leo, can you tell me how this happened?"

"Would you believe me if I said there is a huge amount of energy within me and I used it to heal myself?"

"Stop joking around, my sister asked you a question."

Leo lazily looked at her and said.

"Kids shouldn't interrupt when a.d.u.l.ts are talking."

"You are also a kid!"

"I am more m.a.t.u.r.e here."

Leo pointed to his head and smirked. Shinobu nearly blew her top, she grinded her teeth in anger. Leo thought she looked like a puppy baring it's teeth, it was cute.

"Mah mah, cool down Shinobu. He might be speaking the truth."

Shinobu looked incredulously at her sister and pointed at Leo.

"Sister you can't be serious, he was like a dead pug few days ago. How could he possibly heal himself overnight?"

"Pointing your finger at someone, you are quite rude, aren't you?"

"You are the rude one! You have no humility when you speak to my sister and you didn't even look sincere when thanking me. Who is the rude one here?"

"I did thank you. To think you would renounce my sincerity just like that, what a brutish kid."

"I am not a kid! We are almost the same age!"

"How old are you?"

"Thirteen."

"Still a kid."

"Shut up! You are just fifteen, you are also a kid!"

"Kid."

"Why you little!

"Kid"

"Big sis, let me go! I gotta teach that guy a lesson!"

Shinobu's words fell on deaf ears, Kanae pulled her away. However a smile crept onto her face when she saw her sister and Leo quarrel.
