I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 360 A Platform

The energy amount coming from this piece of bone was really massive. I controlled this towards my dantian, meridian network, then through my feet zone to the shadow world.

The dark energy from that bone turned into my dantian to a silver white energy that I could use. Then when it entered my shadow world, that Devour kid started to madly absorb it.

“Dad! Dad! What is that amazing meal? It’s intoxicating! I love it! Want it, want more dad, please!”

Damn noisy kid! That was why I didn’t plan to have kids so soon.

“Just eat what I give you, don’t waste time on anything useless like talking.”

This was a black grade bone kid, not your common daily cabbage or something. It was indeed tasty, and I just kept eating it.

As I watched this ongoing process, I started to think about a crucial thing; how would this end up by opening a cultivation stage for me?

I didn’t know the answer. That soul showed his consciousness and awareness, giving me the impression that things weren’t going as planned.

But as things were rolling to this stage, why would I bother overthinking about it?

I kept watching, only regulating energy and doing nothing more. The area that soul took started to expand, pushing against all the darkness around like nothing was there to stop him.

In the next ten minutes, he managed to dominate an area much more than what my dantian initially controlled after all this time. And he didn’t show any signs of stopping.

“Dad! More! Give me more! I can feel myself on the verge of getting matured!”

Matured? Don’t tell me you were going to wet yourself kid! Not in my world! Not under my watch bastard!

“Isn’t it enough already?” Imagining this scene made me feel gross.

“I want to evolve dad, I want to become a weapon for dad.”

His words enlightened me. What if this was the missing step before he would turn into something I could use?

I opened my eyes. That bone was already gone. In ten minutes my boy absorbed all this energy like it was nothing.

“Another bone then,” I took out one of my dark gold grade bones and paused for a second in hesitation. “Let’s get three then,” I took out another two, and then closed my eyes and watched what was going to happen next.

The gush of energy this time seemed different. I feared the amount to be smaller, not enough for him. But in a few minutes, that dude started to show the first changes since this all started.

His body seemed to grow bigger. But I didn’t feel he was going to grow bigger in size. It seemed like his energy was getting out, engulfing all the meridians around, looking like it was merging with these meridians.

I watched him turn from a body of white and silver in the heart and black at the outer surface, into a shining growing star of bright white and silver light.

This took a few minutes to happen, but I didn’t feel it didn’t take that long. As he reached the edge of my meridians, a new change occurred.

Instead of a silver white, a dark colour appeared. It started from the centre of his body, expanding fast like a mighty wave outwards.

“Are you ok?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“Dad, I’m going to turn into a stepping stone for you. I hope you can treat me well and let me grow,” he said in a much stronger tone, one that seemed to belong to a ten or eleven years old youth or something.

Then as the entire area turned all black, it all turned solid. He didn’t exaggerate when he said he was going to be my stepping stone.

“So… You turned into a big platform?” I looked at the big and strong looking black platform in front of me. It had thirteen levels in it, seemingly similar to my thirteen stages in my foundation base.

So he turned himself into the backbone of my cultivation, interesting. This time I got nothing but silence as a response to my words, making me inwardly sigh.

Kids… They grow fast, make noises and troubles, then they’d leave like they were never here. For a reason it felt really desolate being here alone.

But at least I got what I needed. Now what? Should I use these thirteen steps to build over one by one?

Alright… I got my framework ready. It looked weird standing in the middle of all this darkness, yet it looked much darker and fiercer than any darkness here.

Its size was almost ten metres in length and five in width. But for a reason, the old torrents of black energy still surrounded it.

It was time to start the next step then. My Devour soul was used, and it was time for my Wither soul.

“Wither, come out!” armed with my past experience in dealing with Devour, I opened my eyes and called Wither out.

Like Devour, it appeared in a changing state before I started grabbing it into my meridians by breaking it down. I wasn’t worried this time, as I knew he wouldn’t die or something by this.

At the same time, the remaining parts of the three bones were still gushing into my dantian. I controlled both energies, and moved them towards my shadow world.

Once the Wither soul entered there, it got attracted to the platform. Without even the need for me to interfere, this soul found its way to the platform, and started gathering up his pieces at the first step.

I didn’t need to do anything but to try and store as much energy as possible for future use. Last time Devour almost left my dantian and meridians here dry. I didn’t want to experience this again.

It didn’t take much time to form the entire body of my new soul.

“Father, I’m alive!” and with it, a new source of noise appeared again, making me not much regret missing my Devour kid.
