The Talentless Sage

As Mertil handed down the spirit tool, Axel was beginning to think of the possibility of him surviving...

[My body right now is all heavenly energy...] Axel began to bite his finger in doubt, [For one thing, Heavenly Energy and Impure energy won't come together... unless] He began to smile faintly.

Axel reached out his hands and said, "I'll take it." in a straigh-faced smile, he was sure of the methods on what he will do, [With my knowledge from my past life, this will be a big opportunity] he thought.

"HAHAHAHAH!!" Mertil started to laugh uncontrollably, "Seriously, A kid knowing how to use this spirit tool? Even I don't know how to do it!" Mertil began to cover his face in disbelief, smiling.

He uncovered his face and stared at Axel's serious face, "You're serious... I see..." Mertil gave the gauntlet to Axel with a serious face, "What happens when you die?"

Axel was holding the gauntlet and instantly wore it. *bam* a burst of impure energy pumped out of Axel's body, "That won't happen..." he smiled confidently.

Axel's black hair turned white and his blue eyes turned red. It was the very characteristics of a humanoid spirit demon and what Mertil was realized was that Axel was still sane. An impure aura was pumping continously out of Axel's body, which is part of the process.

Mertil who was stupified, began to sit down and cover his face in disbelief, "I- I never thought about it that way?" his widened eyes showed Axel a million questions.

Mertil explained that he once tried the spirit tool a week ago. His eyes got so red and his veins were popping, it was like a spirit demon that just emerged from birth. Luckily, Mertil was able to take of the spirit tool immediately and controlled the Impure energy. If it were too late, he would've died.

"I-I can't believe it!" Mertil was excited and his eyes were blazing with determination, "Axel, school is suspended for the entire week! I have to do something!" Mertil shouted.

Axel was puzzled, "Wait what?" Axel took of the gauntlet and gave it back to Mertil but then Mertil declined, "That is trash, you can keep it!" Mertil said in a hurry.

He was flipping desk after desk. Picking up tools for making spirit tools, his determination was so hot, Axel actually felt it, "This guy..." Axel was horribly speechless.

Axel looked at the spirit tool one last time, "This is't trash at all" he muttered. This spirit tool is atleast a perfect low-tier tool. Producing such fine spirit tool in a short amount of time, Axel was impressed.

In his past life, Axel saw and used thousands of spirit tools. Some of them was bad, some of them was good, but this was the first time a low-tier spirit tool was so efforted.

...

"Oh fu..." Axel landed on the ground, a little furious but kinda speechless, "That guy..." Axel scratched his head.

Axel was thrown out of the Tower, possibly that Mertil is doing something more dangerous than the demonic spirit tool, "If that guy went to the capital, he would surely acquire fame." Axel mumbled as he looked back on the tower, holding the very dangerous spirit tool.

Staring back at the gauntlet, "Though the method looks simple, it's really hard to maintain it." Axel yet, mumbled again. He went home in the middle of the night, throwing the gauntlet up and down gently, playing with it until he arrived.

The method why Axel was able to maintain the gauntlet was because of a method from a small tribe on the east called "Impure Subractation" Technique. It simply says to release or subtract the impure energy in your body to a certain extent, resulting in the impure energy not overloading your spirit sea.

Axel actually thought at first when he was a child on what to absorb, the heavenly or the impure energy. Impure was the best for a white spirit sea but the fact that there is no tool to regulate the impure energy back then, he would've exploded.

But now... If he has the spirit tool, he can combine both the heavenly and the impure energy, doubling his speed of cultivation.

By creating a smaller spirit sea circling the main spirit sea; with the right distance and size, it would double his cultivation greatly. Like Xertia and its two moon, with the correct distance and size, it was able to maintain the balance of the world.

The moon would be where the impure energy would be kept. Making a spirit sea is really hard but if once mastered, one would have two lives. Axel, who has only all the time he needs, at the age of 12 - would the youngest to have a double spirit sea.

In the past life, Axel had 23 lives but even though he has those many lives; he can't escape of old age. It was a tragic yet a really big turn for his life.

...

2 days until classes get back...

Axel was in his room, wearing the gauntlet. He was cultivating in the bed with his legs crossed and his hands forming a circle.

In the past 5 days, Axel was cultivating the heavenly energy and his spirit energy are now 17.

Spirit Energy: 17

...

Inside Axel, was his spirit sea. Imagine it like a sun, a shining white light that covered the entire cosmos. On the side is a planet still forming, as the impure energy is still clumping together like rocks, little by little. It would in the future be, Axel's second spirit sea.

It was still 5 days so it's a bit small. Like the Spirit sea is the sun, the impure energy's size was still 2 times smaller than the moon and it's still growing by the second.

Since it was still growing, Axel is not allowed to activate and use impure energy yet. If he would, his spirit sea would collapse and would cause the balance in his body to get distorted; which would affect his main spirit sea.

[If I mess this up, my white spirit sea would vanquish and I would be talentless again! This time, it wont happen] Axel though in his mind.

Cultivating two spirit sea at the same time would trouble even the Silver Level but thanks to him having being reborn, it was easy as slicing cake.

2 days later...

"I wonder how teacher is doing?" Axel slightly smiled as he stared at the school doors.
