Ning was walking towards the city gate right now. His identification card, rulebook, and beast pouch that the sect gave to him had been taken away.
He had tried to explain what had happened to the elder once more but the elder just wouldn't listen to him. From his perspective, what had taken place should not have taken place at all.
In the end, he reluctantly left the place. He was expelled, and thus he was now a rogue cultivator.
'It doesn't matter. I have the system. As long as I have that I can go anywhere. I can do anything. This is only a small island in a continent on a planet amongst the infinite. Once I have enough energy, I will go anywhere I want. '
'Right now, I should focus on collecting my energy,' he thought. He then looked to Night and the beetle following him. Night was inconspicuous enough that he wasn't a problem, but the beetle was way too big.
'Sigh, System, Can you make two beast storage space with umm… 20 kilos for one and 300 kilos for the other one,' he said.
<Beast Space 1x20 Kg, and 1x300 Kg cost 370,000,000 energy>
'Yeah, buy it,' he said.
<Confirmed>
He now had a space inside of him where the beasts could freely stay and cultivate both their cultivation and techniques at an ascended rate and also be healed if they were ever injured.
Also, perhaps the best feature of all, it was linked to his interdimensional space, so as long as it had food in it, the beasts in Beast space would always get their food when they were hungry.
Once the bird and the bug were in, he went to the city gate. He paid a small fee and walked into the city; then, he found a tavern for himself.
He paid exactly 10 gold coins to take the tavern for 100 days so he could safely work on his energy cap increment. Very soon, energy was going to be something he didn't have to care about.
He cultivated overnight and waited until it was early morning. When morning arrived and his daily cap removing time arrived, he stopped cultivating.
"Hmm… Kinetic energy. The energy of a moving body, no, a body moving relative to me, that's what the system said. Then… ," he thought and called our Night.
Night came out and looked around. He wasn't hungry, there wasn't a fight and it was early morning. So, he looked around, confused, why he was even out.
"Hit me with the flat side of your talon, as hard as you can," Ning said.
"Hit. Master. Cannot." The bird believed he couldn't do what he was asked to do.
"Just do it, I allow you to," Ning said. He hadn't used Supreme Dominance on Night, so he still didn't fully follow his orders and needed persuasion. "If you hit me, I will give you more snakeskin," Ning said.
SWOSH
Night suddenly flew towards him and gave a kick towards him with folded talons. Ning put his hands forth and expected a massive sound to appear.
One did, but not as loud.
"Is that how I get the kinetic energy?" he wondered. "Status"

'Wait, Sh*t. Most of it went to sound energy. No, I wanted Kinetic,' Ning said in frustration.
Two objects striking each other always created heat and sound energy. If Ning wanted to continue gathering Kinetic Energy, he would have to do something else other than getting hit from Night.
'Sh*t. Energy always transforms from one to another. How am I going to ever gather Kinetic Energy without getting heat and sound mixed in with it?' he started to get unusually frustrated.
'F*ck, System. Help me. Give me some information regarding how to collect Kinetic Energy,' he asked.
<The system will not help you regards to the energy>
<Host will have to figure it out on his own>
"Dammit," Ning said and tried to calm himself. Unable to do anything anymore, he decided to keep on cultivating. To increase his cultivation speed once more, he decided to buy the 4x Qi Acclimation rate.
Fortunately, the rate was added to the previous one and the previous cost was discounted. So, he ended up having to only pay something like 848,000,000 in Energy.
That was still a lot of energy, but at least he wasn't ripped off by the system.
Over the course of the next 10 days, he spent his time cultivating and looking up different pieces of knowledge. He wanted to buy an All Beasts Information knowledge, but apparently, it had information from all over the Multiverses, and even the Universe's one started the cost at around 23,000,000,000 for a Basic one.
This lets him know that what he learned in the Mist Origin sect wasn't even the tip of the iceberg in terms of the beasts. He ended up buying an Intermediate one for just the beasts in Planet Kumia.
Finally, after 100 days of different types of attacks, Ning managed to barely collect Kinetic Energy and unlock his next cap.
Now, the cap had gone up to 80 million energy a day. Ning spent around 50 more days cultivating nonstop. He was very close to breaking through, and on the 49th day, he broke through to the 5th Qi Condensation realm.
His strength increased once more as his body and Qi were now on equal footing. Subsequently, on day 50, he managed to collect 250 Million kinetic energy and increased his cap once more, doubling it to 160 million energy.
