Life Drain System

"No there is not, because he has to restart before he turns 22. Anyways, the week should be over before you realize if you find something fun to do. Now I still have to get back to my friends, I will talk to you soon ok." The emperor replies.

Knowing that this would be the end of the conversation for now, AI Lan takes her leave from the room. The reason being that it is rude to leave your guests that you invited personally, and not wanting to cause trouble for her father, she leaves back to her room to find something to do while waiting for the return of brother Yue.

In her room, she cannot think of what to do, so she just announces. "Bath time everyone, hurry over." Thus all the creatures that live in her space come flying, running, rolling, or otherwise as fast as they can. Then so she does not get her clothes wet, she changes into a bathing suit then jumps into the massive hole in the ground, thus quickly falling into the lake after a few seconds of free falling.

Landing in the water elegantly, her body glides through the lake before coming up for air. The water clear and pristine, and all the well trained creatures come to join her quickly.. The dragons flying down and latching onto the wall as the water comes down as they like the pressure, the pegasus' stay near the shore, some of the creatures even do cannonballs into the water, among other things.

With most of the creatures in the water, and others on their way, Ai Lan moves towards a pegasus and starts lifting the water with one of the buckets on shore. Dumping it on the flying horse, she also brushes them to ensure their cleanliness, as she does not want any rats or anything in any of the creatures hair.

---- Many Hours Later ----

Finished cleaning all the creatures including the dragons which takes much longer, Ai Lan climbs on the back of one of the dragons and flies out and back to her house. However without giving the dragon time to land, she jumps off and lands in a small hole in her roof, thus sliding down a slide she had put in there when she was younger.

Enjoying her way down the rabbit hole so to speak, she gets to the bottom and walks out of it without a second of stopping keeping the momentum. Heading straight for the bathroom she goes to freshen up, for while she was not dirty, she does now have the smell of animals on her. Not the bad unclean animal smell but just the scent that you would normally get when you hang around animals. Therefore she quickly hops into the shower to get freshened up.

Meanwhile back in the cave, Yueliang stands up exclaiming. "I finally finished! I know what it means now." Then thinking to himself. 'It is not just a story, but what was learned in that life thus creating a comprehensive and long technique. It is completely different from what I have heard of people using before. It is a pity that it takes a while before it shows any great effects, but in the mean time this feels like it was made for me. More specifically it feels like I made it but how is that possible? It is probably just my imagination.'

Calming himself down, he moves to the center of the room before laying down to look up at the stars while thinking. 'It feels like there is more to this technique down that hall, but in the mean time I should strengthen myself. ... I cannot wait to explore the stars for years on end in the future.'

Finishing his thought, Yue closes his eyes, then breathing in through is nose, the air goes down to his stomach into his dantian. Then from there spreading through his muscles around his body, and up through the chest and into the mind. Thus feeling like his mind is once more being opened to the world around him. Then releasing through his mouth. Breathing in the good and out the bad, he repeats this cycle.

As he does this, he feels more and more relaxed as he feels his body changing from acidic to alkaline. 'Breathing starts with filling the stomach with oxygen, then the chest, then opening the mind.' He thinks to himself as he recalls the beginning of the technique.

Doing this same cycle for about 10 minutes, he has memorized the breathing portion. Thus he rolls onto his chest before pumping out clapping push ups as fast and correctly as he can while maintaining the breathing cycle.

As he keeps doing these push ups, he decides to try something much harder, and pushes his body up like a normal clapping push up but this time puts in all the strength he as. This because he wants to try jumping push ups.

Even without chi, the result is much different than he was expecting as his body flies up into the air and slams against the roof before falling back down in a little bit of pain. Trying to catch himself his face slams into the ground.

Rolling over onto his back he wonders as his face bleeds. 'That was different, even without chi, I am certain I never had such strength. So what is going on?'

Startling Yue, Yang says. "My brother, I can probably answer that one. You see, as you climbed through the tunnel, it did not just send you back, but you remember how it healed you. Well, when injuries heal, they tend to do so stronger to a degree. Anyways, that combined with what your grandpa did a while back has allowed for your improvement."

"My grandpa, what do you mean? Do you mean breaking my cultivation, or increasing the system?" Yue asks curiously while watching the stars on the roof moving.

"Pft. Hahaha, that is funny." Yang laughs before continuing. "Your grandpa did a number of things to you when he sent his energy in to supposedly increase the system. While I will not deny that it has opened a lot of interesting functions, items, and various other things. He also removed your dragon king bloodline, as well as a few other things that where hindering your cultivation."

'What do you mean hindering my cultivation? I thought the bloodline was supposed to help.' Yue comments.

"*Sigh. Yes, it will help but also hinder your peak. You see, back in the past it would have helped you grow much faster and stronger had you done things right. Either way, humans are the top cultivators not animals. While they can take human form, they are still different. Dragons while stronger than most cultivators at the top, they can never reach the peak." Yang answers.

'I see.' Yue thinks to himself as he rolls over to start doing jumping push ups again, this time without all his strength so as to not tire himself out as fast nor injure himself. However as he was talking his face had already begun to heal due to the chi in the cave. Pushing himself up he flies into the air about 2 meters before falling with each push up.

Having fun with this he starts rolling and rotating his body in midair before landing back on the ground. However after only a few minutes he feels exhausted and lays down for a while as his muscles are sore. Although not wanting to waste this time, he lifts his legs just barely off of the ground and holds them in mid air, even adding in a small kicking motion regardless of how bad his abs are burning at he moment.

About a quarter of an hour later, he crawls back to the tunnel that he came in from whilst thinking. 'Before I even think about moving on, I should get some rest, and there is no use in wasting time. Thus the best thing to do is sleep in the tunnel as the pressure builds on his body making him stronger while he sleeps.

Thus making his way over into the entrance, he lays down at the heaviest pressure spot, and closes his eyes while having difficulty breathing, and feeling the pain from the pressure. However still maintaining the breathing technique he just learned, he drifts off to sleep.

....

In what appears to be open space, yet Yueliang can still breath, he stands up. Then looking in front of him, he sees a much older version of himself throwing punches and kicks, as well as evading a meteor shower. However the meteor shower seems never ending as they seem to be going in a circle very fast, almost like a belt around a planet but speedily flying at the older Yue.

Seeing this bizarre sight before him, Yue cannot help but move forward in curiosity while mumbling. "I must be inside my mind again, and this must be the system right?"
