Quash stood in the living room. He didn't sit in a lotus position like usual because he has already proven that the position for circulation doesn't matter. Because the result is the same. The practitioner cannot move.
The more Quash thought how he couldn't move as well made him even angrier. His consciousness sank deep. But he was also aware of his real body. He was constantly trying to move it and was feeling that intense discomfort and it made him even angrier.
Quash had noticed that angrier had some boost to his running so he is going to try using anger to push past sub 10 seconds per circulation to circulate so fast that his body won't even notice that circulation is happening.
While he was trying to move his body, he once again detached a wisp of Aura from his Aura Core and pushed it into Inferior Vena Cava. The wisp of Aura's light red outline wedged itself against the walls blood vessels like before.
And thereafter, Quash darted to circulate. He also calculated the time needed for each cycle.
This time, it took 9.7 seconds.
But he knew he could go faster. He didn't retrieve the Wisp of Aura and begun another cycle. Since he isn't actually circulating Natural Energy to turn it into Aura, he didn't need to retrieve anything.
Another cycle was complete. It was 8.9 seconds this time. Quash didn't stop and started another cycle.
7.4 seconds this time.
Then another.
5.9 seconds.
Then another.
4.5 seconds.
Quash continued to push until he could complete a cycle per second. But he couldn't go faster then that. With his current will, this is the fastest he could push.
So if pushing is the limiting it then he would pull.
Instead of pushing the wash of Aura from behind, Quash decided to pull it from the front, from his perspective point. After that, it will he a matter of how fast his perspective can move through out the body.
So to not make mistakes, he decided to complete a hundred cycles more. In the mean time, he had stopped trying to move his body and tried to calm his anger.
He took a deep breath and like fire being put out, his anger slowly calmed down.
He didn't need his anger to boost his Will anymore. What he needed was to focus and no disturbance. No noise in his mind.
His mind calmed down even before he was done with circulating 100 times. Only 32 seconds have passed since he started to calm down. Meaning 32 cycles. Effectively telling Quash how slow the process was. A sense of dissatisfaction tried to boil up but he pushed it aside because he is going to push past the one second line real quick.
Quash tracked the Aura Wisp more attentively and mapped every nook and crony of the path way in the remaining time.
When 100th cycle was done, Quash started to pull from the front and moved his perspective point. And the speed increased noticeably. He could have gone faster. But he felt gradually going up would be better.
He increased the speed fast enough to just complete 2 cycles per second. But looking at the wisp traveling through his body, he still wanted to scream at it for being a failure because it was still too slow!
To keep dissatisfaction from rising and disturbing the flow, he increased the speed to 10 cycles per second. It looked slightly better to look at. A bit of satisfaction spread in his heart.
He kept that speed for 12 seconds for no apparent reason other than to just enjoy the progress.
So he increased the speed to 20 cycles per second. The wisp looked like it was running lightning fast. Just looked like it from overall perspective of his whole body. It was still 700 times slower than the downward lightning speed because the speed this Aura Wisp was traveling at the moment was approximately 140 meters per second. Taking in consideration that he was 6 ft tall and the path way is around 6-8 metres.
But Quash didn't pay any mind to it and continued to observe because it seemed fun before increasing the speed to 30 cycles per second.
Then 40 cycles per second. The wisp line looked like a blur beam of light red. Illuminating the pathway.
At 50 cycles per second, it almost looked like a continuous stream but there were some noticeable inconsistencies here and there.
At 60 cycles per second, it looked like a continuous stream but very few inconsistencies popping up from time to time.
At 70 cycles per second, the wisp of Aura truly looked like a continuous stream of Aura traveling through his body. But the fun was over since his over all prescriptive was aligned with his normal vision frame rate.
But he knew that the wisp was traveling so fast that it was appearing in that same place before his perspective can find fault. It was around 490 meters per second in speed. 1.43 the speed of sound but around 200 times slower than lightning.
Quash directly increased the speed to 100 cycles per second. Right now, the wisp if Aura was traveling around 700 meters per second. 2.04 times the speed of sound and around 140 times slower than lightning.
The speed was so fast that the Aura Wisp was near saturation. Quash still needed to actively calculate and move his prospective around.
He reasoned that if he wanted his to he subconscious, he needed the wisp to reach saturation where there would be no gap. The wisp will arrive the place it left instantaneously.
Quash increased the speed directly to 500 cycles per second. The Aura Wisp directly reached saturation. And as he had predicted, he didn't need to actively calculate anymore. It was happening subconsciously.
Quash increased the speed to 1000 cycles per second just for the fun of it. From his overall perspective, the Aura Wisp looked like a continuous stream. Never leaving anyplace empty and seemed it was present there all the time.
It was traveling around 7000 meters per second and it was around 14 times slower than lightning.
Quash opened his eyes and scoffed with a grin. He was running circulation while still moving. He checked his body to see if he looked like a walking neon stick with a small energy ball flowing through his body at 14 times slower than lightning speed. But his worries were unfounded because not only there was nothing glowing. He couldn't even feel the Aura physically.
'Now that I think about it, I never actually felt Aura physically did I?'
Quash mused before he did all kind of movements. Jumping, stretching, running fingers curling etc etc. When the blood vessels squeezed... it still didn't change anything because the Aura Wisp was traveling that fast. This was the result he wanted.
Feeling satisfied, he looked at the time and it was 6:04 in the morning. And he had arrived at the park at 5:34. While he had thought that it would take him a day because this kind of energy handling method was unfamiliar to Andrew David but familiar to Quash Ogmore. But Quash's familiarity was no where near enough to do what he wanted.
But it seemed like he was just over thinking.
He was about to go out to train in the park again but an idea suddenly struck again.
"What will happen if I use the remaining Aura to circulate as well?"
The idea was simple. He is going to use all Aura he has to circulate. Bit it comes with a limit of physical exhaustion? Or does it? Because it is not leaving the body?
But just to be sure, Quash decided to make it so that the Aura creates a stream that continuously follows in and out of the Lowr Dantian.
'Will the speed of Aura blast my Dantian into the void?'
A sudden creeping thought snuk its way at the back of his mind but he just went fuck it and optimised the route. He also Willed his remaining Aura to follow into the Inferior Vena Cava and instantly pushed it to 1000 cycles per second and routed the stream to his Lower Dantian. His Dantian wasn't blasted into the void. Nor did he feel anything.
Quash now looked at his body's blood vessels and now they were truly filled with Aura and it was truly a continuous stream. Not a wisp saturated.
Quash nodded at his progress before he took his water bottle, which he had forgotten today as well, and walked out of the house.
Total estimate of the endeavour: 24 hours.
Total time taken: 35 minutes.
