Elarion along with Amara and the other children of the orphangae had a hearty breakfast, he also put milk for Aria in a bowl after finishing his food.
Aria legs were slowly getting and she was able able to walk to some extent, just a few days more and Aria's legs will be completely healed. Aria finished the bowl of milk quickly, Elarion picked the bowl and moved towards the kitchen to place it there, in kitchen there was not much firewood left so he decided to go to the forest to collect some firewood.
Elarion asked Amara for her permission to go to the forest for firewood to which Amara agreed but told him to return early.
Elarion nodded, picked his axe and headed towards the door of the orphanage but his path was blocked by Aria who kept nudging his head to his as if asking him to take her wherever he was going.
Seeing such a cute behaviour from Aria, Elarion felt somewhat moved and crouched on the ground, picked Aria in his lap patted her head and caressed her snow white fur and said to her " Aria, you are injured, I can't take you with me but when you get fully healed i will take you out to play."
As if the fox understood his words she cooed while pushing her head towards Elarion's stomach.
Elarion giggled by the fox's actions putted her on the ground and started heading towards the forest.
On his way towards the forest Elarion was thinking about the cultivation technique he learnt, he tried to absorb qi from his surrounding but he was unable to do so.
He then began recalling the words of the book which were always revolving in his mind from the moment he learnt the technique.
Soon he reached the forest and started cutting the dry branches of trees by his axe meanwhile his mind was focused on trying to comprehend the technique even more, he thought inwardly " the technique has such a profound name and is extremely it will not be easy for me to master it I have to try harder to understand it."
Sometime later his mind was fully focused on cutting wood, his body slowly started absorb the qi around albeit very little, for Elarion slowly it was becoming easy for him to cut the firewood when he noticed this he was shocked that his body was absorbing the qi around him, he sat down in lotus position and tried to absorb qi and just as he expected he was able to absorb qi even faster than when his body was absorbing the qi unconciously.
Just a few minutes later he met a wall and was not able to absorb more qi, he tried to cross the wall using various ways but was not able to overcome suddenly in his mind the words from the book started revolving, he understood he never had to cross the wall his approach was, the wall was just his mind creating things he just has to accept that is nothing like a wall there.
He then again started absorbing qi and like before he met the wall but this time he calmed his mind and focused his mind on only one thing that there is nothing in front of him, the qi inside his body surged and boom...
He broke through and stepped his foot into the cultivation wolrd.
Elarion was delighted that he broke through and stepped into the Soul Apprentice realm.
He collected the firewood and moved towards the orphanage as he wanted to tell the news to Amara.
