Avatar - Conquering the Elements-Chapter 132. The Fifth.

Yo. A picturesque waterfall in the Earth Kingdom, located near a small unnamed village.

"This place will definitely suit us," I announced to the others, finding the atmosphere here perfect for opening the fifth chakra. According to Guru Patik, the environment around you is just as important. Of course, it's different for everyone, so it's worth figuring out what truly brings peace to your soul.

"I guess being born in the Northern Water Tribe wasn't for nothing..." The gentle sound of water cascading from a small height gave me more confidence for the upcoming confrontation.

"There's no convincing you, is there?" Driya asked humbly. She still hasn't given up trying to stop me. Logically, she understands it makes me stronger, but emotionally, she can't help worrying about me.

"I can't let my daughter outdo me! What kind of example would I be setting?" I tried to lighten the tense atmosphere. "Hey! I need your faith in me now more than ever!" I continued with feigned indignation. To myself, I once again thanked fate, the cosmos, or the gods who sent me to this world. Without it, would I have met my beloved women and built a real family?

"I believe in Father!" I never doubted Selin. Unable to resist, I pulled her into my arms. Because of her rapid growth, I never fully enjoyed her chubby cheeks, and now she's already a heart-stealing beauty. But in my heart, she'll always be my little girl.

"I also believe in... my love," Gaia said the last word with considerable embarrassment. At first, her main goal was simply to have a child with me, but now she's more than willing to join our family.

"Oh, come on," Driya muttered, catching apologetic glances from Selin and Gaia. As far as I could tell, they were supposed to support Driya, but things turned out a bit differently...

Spending more time with my loved ones, I filled myself with positive energy, preparing to overcome the new limit. Sitting on a large rock directly in front of the small waterfall, I began repeating Guru Patik's words in my mind.

"My spirit is strong... My will is unyielding!" At that moment, my voice took on a soul-vibrating tone. Thanks to the Guru, I finally understood the principle behind his mystical speeches, which helped Aang and Selin master all seven chakras in an instant. I don't know if it will help, but it's worth trying. Guru Patik isn't much help in this—he says he tried to assist someone else on the path of the body years ago. The outcome was tragic; his voice was considered external interference, doubling the challenge for the person.

My own voice probably won't count as interference. It's still worth trying, so I continued filling my throat and vocal cords with life energy. Maybe when the real process begins, I won't have time for self-hypnosis...

"It's starting," I thought, as if something unknown was truly opening within me. My thoughts became tangled, and images were literally being forced into my mind.

"All visions are false... Illusions won't consume me!" I began to mutter through clenched teeth, almost struggling for each new word. The whirlpool of unclear images grew sharper, then faded slightly. I refused to be drawn into a false world where I'd have to play by someone else's rules.

Each new word, filled with my life energy and strong self-belief, further separated me from illusion. This time, I managed to distinguish between the world of visions and true reality, making the trial much easier.

In a way, it was far more intense, as my will was being tested. I'm not sure how much time passed, as there were moments when I was absorbed into one of the scenarios for a few seconds. I felt the ethereal door, signifying the full opening of the chakra, was almost wide open. Just a little more...

Some time later.

Exhausted, I lay sprawled on the rock, feeling as if all my bodies were being reborn. My bones moved involuntarily, and my heart pressure fluctuated. Fortunately, I expected something like this, so all my bodies were now in safe places under the watch of trusted people.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I found myself lying on Driya's knees. My body felt pleasantly weak. Breathing in her familiar scent, I began diagnosing my body. Now I clearly "saw" my source of life energy—a pulsating green sphere, like a green sun sending its rays throughout my body. The quality of my life energy had improved significantly, and the conductivity of the channels had increased. They, in turn, wrapped around every part of my body, leaving no area without at least a small channel.

"I wonder which will be faster—life energy or magical energy," I thought. Both had almost turned me into an energy being. Luckily, these energies exist on different "levels," so they don't interfere with each other.

"How's the progress on making my new sister?" I heard my daughter's curious voice.

"Selin, it's impolite to ask such questions," I wasn't expecting that from Aunt Lan's biggest fan. The last time we spied on the Sages' people, she managed to find her favorite writer's house and read all the drafts of her upcoming book...

"Well... we're still in the process," Gaia finally replied. "Human children grow so quickly..." she murmured almost inaudibly.

I, meanwhile, had to fight off a sudden erection. The quality and quantity of energy had increased significantly, making it difficult to contain. My other bodies had to deal with that issue. As if on cue, Driya leaned over, placing her considerable upper assets on my face.

An hour later, I finally managed to control my life energy. Without wasting a second, I began testing the new abilities granted by the Sound Chakra.

"This is very strange," I thought as I felt almost every tiny process occurring in my body. My head was flooded with information, and if I didn't have four heads instead of one, I wouldn't have managed. From nerve impulses spreading throughout my body to the creation of new sperm—all of it was streaming into my brain every second.

It took a whole day to learn how to move some of the data into the background. But even now, it's clear this ability is incredible! My mind was already buzzing with new ideas.

Over the next few weeks, I experimented with my abilities like a kid with a new toy. To some extent, I could now live purely on life energy. As long as it didn't run out, I could forget about water, air, and food. Life energy took care of all those needs. The need for water during conquest also disappeared; my body could produce liters of blood, using only life energy. But there was a downside, as always...

As soon as I depleted my vast reserves of life energy to a certain minimum, my body became so weak that even standing straight was difficult. This state didn't leave me for several hours, until the source was at least half full. In this form, I'd be no more dangerous than a flying lemur, so I'd have to monitor my available energy even more carefully.

"Mr. Fantastic, it seems you've mistaken the universe," I couldn't resist the flat joke. Driya, Selin, and Gaia were already used to hearing my strange quips. During the forty-fourth experiment, I discovered that by spending life energy, I could make my bones elastic without losing their strength.

"Oops!" I tied my body into a knot. Of course, I couldn't become as long as I wanted—my maximum was a few extra meters. But I can already see how I'll plunge my enemies into despair! They'll think they've dodged my strike, only for my arm to stretch out at that very moment!

The surprises didn't end there...

"Open the portal! I'm ready to show my power in battle against Madara!" I shouted excitedly into the air.

"Father's shouting his strange phrases again," Selin said quietly. "I don't understand what he's talking about, but for some reason, I feel embarrassed..."

"You'll get used to it soon," Driya patted her shoulder.

Ignoring my family's conversation, I continued the same action: launching a bone from my hand, which pierced a nearby tree. Thanks to complete control over my body, I could create a new bone in mere seconds. And because my body had undergone true hardening, the bones were as strong as steel.

It was all reminiscent of the abilities of the Kaguya clan from the Naruto anime. Shikotsumyaku, or Dead Bone Pulsing—the ability to manipulate the structure of one's own bones. By filling my body with life energy, I could calmly control the growth and properties of my bones. In theory, my bones could kill spirits, as they're completely filled with life energy—the arch-enemy of all spirits.

By affecting my muscles, I could turn myself into a mini-Hulk or a sort of Bane. As I grew taller, my entire body was covered in tight cords of muscle, strength overflowing within me. The best part was that I didn't lose any speed or maneuverability. I think I know what to use in my next battle with Koh.

No other ideas came to mind, so I decided to stop and fully master these new abilities.

North Pole. Chief's Palace. Yuki.

Assisting in the birth of my beloved wife turned out to be far more challenging. No, there were no complications—everything was within the norm. But psychologically, I felt immense pressure.

"Everything's fine, Yuki," Kaya weakly smiled at me. Hey! I should be the one encouraging you...

Gathering myself, I calmed down. In a peaceful state, I began telling Kaya amusing stories from my adventures. After several hours of my chatter, under Kaya's tense expression, the room converted into a ward was filled with the cry of a newborn girl.

"My little sister," Katara murmured, staring at the dark-skinned body of her new family member.

"What will you name your daughter?" my mother asked, also assisting in the birth. From her eyes, it was clear she wouldn't mind naming her herself.

"Kaya, you decide," I'm not good at choosing names. While they were busy arguing, I took my daughter in my arms. Her small purple eyes were already blinking sleepily, and as soon as I rocked her a little, she fell asleep instantly.

"Let's call her Hime," Kaya said her final word. "And let me hold my daughter too," she reached out to me. Reluctantly, I handed over my precious burden.

"The mother and daughter need rest and quiet," Jun began ushering us out. "Come tomorrow, and I'll stay with her for now."

Outside the door, other family members were waiting. Arnuk tried to appear calm, but knowing him well enough, I could confidently say that inside, he was buzzing with excitement. Sokka, on the other hand, couldn't hide his nervousness, pacing the corridor.

"So, how is it?!" Sokka rushed over to me.

"Everything's fine," I smiled sincerely. "You'll be able to see your little sister tomorrow."

"Phew," he sighed in relief, sliding down the wall.

"Congratulations on the new addition to the family, son!" my overjoyed father patted me hard on the shoulder. "I'll go finish some work," he began hurrying away. He's probably off to brag to his friends over a drink or two.

When the townspeople learned that the Chief had a new heir, they immediately got out of bed. The sleepy town was instantly filled with joyful noise, and establishments began reopening their doors. The older generation remembered that eighteen years ago, Yuki had entered this world. Now, this world had seen his continuation...
