[Day 11]
Train, train, train, train, train.
[Day 12]
Heh.
I have mastered the way of the ice and wind!
Behold!
With a few thoughts of my mind, three ice knives emerge out of thin air, and I push them through with three different spirals of wind!
Flash! Flash! Flash!
Clash! Clash! Clash!
All three knives are as sturdy as iron, and are stuck right into the walls!
This is…
Amazing.
I have finally done it.
It only took like… What? Four days?
I know it felt like an eternity to me, but aren\'t I like super talented anyways?
Hehehe!
Ugh.
No, wait.
I cannot let this get into my head.
Alright, cool down.
It is not like I am overconfident or anything, do not get the wrong idea.
I have been also training diligently.
Well, I don\'t know if you would call "training" to hit yourself with your own tail with all your strength while slashing rocks with your claws, biting rocks with your jaw, conjuring knives and wind while also concentrating the mana inside of your body to flow through all of it on a constant cycle.
This would not be possible without my amazing High-speed Through Processing Skill, which has leveled up by the way.
Actually, most of my Skills leveled up now.
And I even got a few new ones to boot.
And my stats have increased too.
Actually, just look at this!
Hmmm…!
Boop!
Ding!
<due to="" intense="" mana="" refining,="" you="" have="" gained="" +10="" mana=""></due>
You may wonder what the heck this means, right?
Well, it seems that I am just incredibly amazing.
No, wait, I do not have to let this get into my head…
Ugh, let me have some self-fulfillment moment at the very least, okay?
Anyways, what I did was pretty simple. (Not really!)
I remembered that time I used mana with Ice Absorption to escape.
And while I was also using my mana to go through my body, I thought: "Why don\'t I combine it with that?".
The result is this.
A cultivation technique.
My very first cultivation technique.
By using my Cheat Skill Ice Absorption and a ton of mana, I can absorb the ice attribute in my surroundings, converting it into ice attribute mana and making it go through my body.
This way I had managed to get that little boost in speed the other day.
Like this, I can make ice attribute mana absorbed from the snow and the ice all around the outside of the cave to cultivate my own body.
My muscles, bones, skin, blood, and mana core all constantly receive this mana.
Although this mana cannot really cure hunger nor give me calories to live, I can still use it to conjure magic.
And I also can use it to cultivate!
However, there\'s a catch.
Yeah, did you thought I would have like infinite mana or something? Nope.
I can only do this cycle of mana when I concentrate a lot while sitting here.
I have to practically meditate.
I know I am also doing the other stuff, but when I go to explore the outside world and hunt monsters, I cannot relax like this.
I will not be able to do this in the middle of battles, so do not get your hopes up.
That is why I am using it as much as I can now until I cannot bear the hunger anymore.
Like this, my Mana has increased by a whopping 40 Points since I started to do this yesterday!
If I keep doing it, wouldn\'t my Mana keep increased endlessly?!
But it is quite slow…
And as I said, this does not cure hunger.
So I have to eventually get out if I do not want to die out of hunger while cultivating.
I called this cultivation technique as "Ice Absorption Refinement Technique", pretty simple, I know.
Also, my other stats increased by a bit as well, so it is not only Mana that increases!
And yeah, by eating the three rabbits Mana Cores, I also got a few tiny stats.
Here is my Status.

…
As you can see, I got two amazing new Skills, and the other Skills leveled up as well.
My Wind Magic is at Level 2 already, so I can use it a bit better. Although as of now, I cannot do anything else than conjuring spiraling gusts of wind, it works, nonetheless.
The Mana Control Skill helps me control my mana, of course. And thanks to this one Skill is that I can use my "cultivation technique" to enhance my entire body slowly.
And lastly, the Freezing Slash Skill was a pleasant surprise, it seems to be part of the Ice Dragon Skills, and it is literally that, my claws coat themselves no a bit of ice and then they unleash a slashing attack.
With this, I can have a more reliable physical attack too, all thanks to slashing rocks for days.
Oh right, my stats.
They all increased a tiny bit, some more than others.
My Mana is already at 160+, and my Mana reached 41 just a few hours ago.
Maybe I am becoming a magic specialist, no complaints there, magic is more efficient and convenient, if I can kill things from far away, the better.
But it is not like I completely fear close combat either, with my Physical Attack Damage Resistance at Level 3!
Phew, I can confidently say that I have become a bit stronger.
But now, I am starving, the rabbits had been completely eaten, and the grass as well.
I am now forced to walk out of my cave and get some hunting done.
But with what I have forged through these days, I am… a bit confident that I can get some meal, at least a rat, at the very least.
…Seriously, anything would do, I am starving.
