For the next few days, Lu Li stayed busy with his skills. Every day, he checked the shop for refreshed modules, browsed the forums, meditated from time to time, and spent the rest of his time figuring out how to use his abilities.
After one instance, Lu Li's shadow had grown from three times his own size to 3.1 times. Then, while making the Shadow Mask, he split off a little of it again. All in all, his shadow was now about 3.08 times his own size.
Lu Li had also gotten a rough idea of how to increase the size of his shadow.

The growth was just exceedingly slow. Using his own size as one unit, his shadow had only reached about 3.14 units by the time he received the notice that his next instance was about to begin.
After meditating for a while, Lu Li's various stats were now as follows:
[Body Assessment: 1.55+0.89; Life Energy Derived: 0.1] [Soul Assessment: 3.04; Mental Energy Derived: 2.68; Shadow Magic: 8.14]
