Of course, first thing you do is work on your new toy-skill. On the bad part : your Ouroboros affinity is <span class="mu-i">bad</span>. Not as bad as your Water affinity, but on the Ballpark of your horrendous potential for Sun techniques. Of course, this means even though you feel some kind of obvious link between the circular symbol, snake and time, there's no way you benefit from that concept like you do for <span class="mu-s">Truefire</span>, <span class="mu-s">Metal</span>, <span class="mu-s">Ichor</span> and <span class="mu-s">Phoenix</span>.
On the good part : your excellent affinity with Meteor-Hammer, Spiritual Strength and Astral self more than make for it. On the bad part : you're already halfway to bottlenecking your poor Ouroboros affinity.
Speaking of Meteor-Hammer practice : you delve back on your custom style, tailored by Quicksteel Aris. Maybe thanks to the other technique giving you another angle to apprehend the complex weapon, your understanding deepened - deepening to your <span class="mu-s">Apex</span>. Deepening your understanding of Shadows. Instead of snippets and scraps of Shadow, you can now...
>Unlocked : Shadow Shroud : Fighting with meteor hammer let you spin your Qi in a shadowy area, concealing the blows origin! (Rank : 1)
Last, but not least, is your foundation. No breakthrough on that side, even though <span class="mu-s">Apex</span> of your Poem of the Rising Phoenix is reached. The remarkable part is the amount of Qi stockpiled this weak : a whole fifth of dantian, rising your stockpile to 81%
Now, what would be the best strategy?
>Attempt a partial Breakthrough! [Will eat your "Foundation Action"]
If you don't, there's still your leads with
>Keep playing with your Qi to improve your chances of Breakthrough.
If you pick that one, I advise you to write about what you can try on that matter.
