Over the course of the week, you cultivate diligently, spinning threads of Qi and Blood from your Body Tempering technique, and pulling them in the Aperture with your Meditation technique. You are between two-third and three-quarter full. Rising slightly your Qi and Blood feels like water gushing and slushing from both parts of the Wall.
This matter of "Wall" feels concerning and important enough to ask Ryota for a bit of his time and direct supervision. He can't give you much time before the end of the week.
In the meantime, you of course train your Spear Style.
Progress are smooth - although they haven't quite caught up with your Foundation, your raw Spear Skill should be an overwhelming challenge to anyone that haven't opened their Eye Aperture.
Around the end of the week, Ryota joins you in the fields.
"<span class="mu-s">Your progress are good, Quiet Word. Good enough to attempt shattering your current bottleneck.</span>
- So early?
- <span class="mu-s">Yes. You see, the Nose Aperture is unique in the first realm : it does not need to overflow to connect with the energy circuit, but to break a iron wall in your Nose. There are ways to turn that gate from Iron to Wood - such as the Purple Bamboo Shoot you were rewarded with.
Now, follow my voice. Spin your threads in the Nose Aperture. Turn the liquid into a snake, coiling in bawl. Keep the snake moving. Let him pick speed.
Faster. Faster. FASTER. Send the snake headbutt the wall.</span>"
The Wall, frailed by the decoction, shatters.
The accumulated energy surges in your body, running from your nose to your eyes to your heart to your muscles.
That's exhilarating. This is the moment that cement a certitude in your brain. Cultivation feels amazing. Training, Improving, feeling so much power...
It's freeing, really. You take a deep breath, and release a mouthful of bad air.
The spiritual energy, contained in your breath, spins into a Qi and blood thread. It is sent in your Eye Aperture, then from there your Heart Aperture, then your muscles. You feel dizzy - like the energy surge disrupted the finely tuned balance of a tower of pebbles.
"<span class="mu-s">Nose Aperture is unique. Closer to second stage bottleneck than any other aperture; opening it means every breath you take is like cultivating.
Now come on, you'll have to stabilize your realm now. As you broke through early, this will be faster than if you filled to the brim your aperture.</span>"
This time, you were luckier than during your last Minor Realm breakthrough: shattering the wall separating your Nose Aperture to your Bloodstream let you awake an Innate Nose Skill
