Chapter 188: Yang Conversion

Hijaka walked onto the stage and stood in front of his opponent who had a cultivation base of the 8th Qi Condensation realm. Hijaka would easily be his match even with just his own cultivation base, not to mention his body cultivation.

They were both made to keep talismans on their body that would teleport them out of the arena if they were mortally harmed.

The fight started, but Ning didn't bother with it, he knew who was going to win. It was obvious. The next few days started to seem very boring to him.

'What's the time again? Around 10 am? I still have an hour and a half before my cap resets,' he thought. 'What should I do? Should I buy something else, should I instead gather energy just in case, or should I think towards increasing the cap?'

'Increasing the cap seems like the best idea. Let's see, what was the next cap doubling price again? System, help me,' Ning asked.

<Here are the Cap increase prices>

<Double your daily cap: 10,000,000,000 Heat Energy>

<Double your daily cap: 10,000,000,000 Sound Energy>

<Double your daily cap: 10,000,000,000 Kinetic Energy>

'Hmm, it's 10 billion for each, since I collect 160 million each day, which means in ten days, I get 1.6 billion energy. Then it should take me around 60 days to gather 10 billion,' Ning thought.

'What should I do?... ' Ning thought. He wanted ideas. He opened his status and check them to see if there really was something.

'Oh right, that should work,' he thought and asked the system. 'Hey, System. How much do the Yang to energy conversions cost?'

<Here are the prices for Yang to energy conversion techniques>

<Yang to heat Conversion technique costs 66,000,000>

<Yang to sound conversion technique costs 60,000,000>

<Yang to kinetic conversion technique costs 96,000,000>

"Oh, I would've probably complained a few years ago, but now these prices are very cheap to me. Buy it, system," Ning said.

<Are you sure? The system suggests you don't buy these techniques>

"Huh?" Ning was surprised. It wasn't every day that the system opposed his ideas. "What's wrong with these techniques?" Ning asked.

<Planet Kumia is not a planet with a very high amount of Qi>

<Thus Yin and Yang energy here are very less>

<You will not be able to fill your cap with these techniques>

Ning thought for a second and said, 'that's right.' He remembered back in the village when he used to suck in Yin energy. From time to time he would run out of Yin to convert just because he took everything from the surrounding. And that was back when his cap was around 5 million.

"Aish, that's a problem, isn't it?" Ning asked himself.

"Is something wrong, Doctor Ning?" one of the disciples next to him asked when he saw Ning mumble.

"Oh no, nothing's wrong," Ning said and finally paid enough attention to see that the contestants had changed. He looked up and saw that Hijaka had already won.

He watched the next competition for a while and said in his mind, 'Buy it. It might come in handy as the yin one did.'

<Confirmed>

<You have bought Yang to Heat conversion for 62,000,000>

<You have bought Yang to Kinetic conversion for 96,000,000>

<You have bought Yang to Sound conversion for 60,000,000>

'Hmm... I will try when it's time,' he thought and waited. The fight at the stage was boring to him, so he just stayed where he was and started cultivating. At least, that would help him reach a little closer to a breakthrough.

He cultivated for a bit and felt he was making some progress when suddenly he got a nudge on his shoulders. "Doctor NIng, it's your turn," a disciple said.

Ning nodded and stood up before walking down to the stage. A staff member put a talisman on him and sent him up the stage.

His opponent was barely worth mentioning. The moment the game started, Ning rushed forward and immediately kicked his opponent's head.

Had it been a real fight, his opponent's head would be crushed like a watermelon dropped from a very high height. However, here on the stage, he simply turned yellow and got out of the stage.

"Ning Ruogang, Number 1 wins," the host said.

Ning simply went back to this seating area and started cultivating. He didn't give a bother to the rest of the cultivation as it was not worth his time.

"Oh, my cap limit has reset," Ning thought and started activating the Yang to Kinetic conversion technique. It worked for a while and he got around 30 million Kinetic energy, which was the most he had gotten in a single day.

However, that was nowhere near the 160 million daily caps he had, and he wanted to increase it. Ning knew the best way to get energy, but it seemed that getting just kinetic energy was going to be cumbersome.

'Whatever,' he thought and looked at the disciple next to him. "Hey, attack me," Ning said.

"What?" the disciple asked in confusion.

"Hit me on my biceps," Ning said and got ready.

"I can't do that," the disciple said.

"Just attack," Ning started to get annoyed. The disciple nodded quickly and attacked him. He instantly got 160 million from the punch.

"Alright, that is better. Thank you," Ning said and went back to cultivating. The day was long and the people had to wait for all 64 matches to finish. Only then would the next set of matches start.

The host started the top 64 matches on the same day as well. There were around 2 hours left in the competition for today, and so the host wanted to have as many fights finish as possible.

In the end, the host was successful at ending exactly 16 matches in that 2 hours. Once that was done, everyone stood up and left the arena. They couldn't wait for tomorrow, the final day.
