"I'll be impressed if you can climb to the 31st floor of the monster tower from the first floor within 2 months and kill a Water dragon whilst learning more magical rune designs and formation erection from me!" Elder Zachary answered with a smile while rubbing his beard, a thoughtful look on his face.
The 31st floor! Whittaker calculated that this will be a hard task. He will have to face peak D-rank magical beasts with a power level between 4 star to 7 star before he reaches the 31st floor. Furthermore, he'll have to start from floor 0.
"Don't think too deeply about it. Let's go have a meal," Zachary said.
"Sure," Whittaker replied and pushed the Elder wheelchair towards the dining hall. His mouth had salivated before even entering the dining hall as a delicious aroma wafted from inside the closed doors. His eyes sparkled, he was looking forward to the mystical dish he will have as his dinner.
Brp!
Whittaker hurriedly finished his meal while Nina and Zachary continued to eat. It was something simple, a red lobster. Looks like Elder is running out of money, he had thought while eating the lobster with no effect.
However, it was delicious and he enjoyed it. Therefore, he asked for another serving. Then one more before he felt satisfied and made his way back to his room after wishing everyone well.
"Now, it's time to learn the soul needles technique." He pulled out the book from his ring. "Noah, how many skill development points will it cost to directly learn it?" Whittaker asked after he sat down on his bed.
‹Ding! It will cost 2 skill development points but Noah advises the guardian not to as it'll be a waste to use them to learn this skill› Noah replied. It has been eating the mana of the world to recover and has become more intelligent. Now, it could help Whittaker better, and also accurately understand how capable he is.
"Why?" Whittaker asked, mystified by Noah's word.
‹Ding! According to Noah's calculations, the Guardian is very intelligent and will successfully learn the soul needle technique in four hours by merely studying it. Plus, here's a quest for you› Noah answered and activated a quest for Whittaker.
‹Quest Activated: Learn a soul technique with your efforts.
‹Rewards: +1 Skill Development point, +10 soul force›
‹Fighting› he cheered.
Whittaker became happy because of being praised as an intelligent boy, and his happiness increased because of the quest rewards.
"I will try to learn this technique with my efforts. Especially since I'll be obtaining good quest rewards!" He exclaimed in glee.
With a thought, the jade slip appeared in Whittaker's hands. The information stored in the jade slip was written in soul language and can only be read by soul force, and soul force can be moved with Will. That's what Elder Zachary has told him during the lengthy lecture.
He willed and was able to sense the soul force in his soul seed. He strongly thought of being able to move it and he was able to grasp some units of soul force under his control. He directed the soul force into the jade slip to read the technique recorded in soul language.
Suddenly, he felt that he have formed a mystical connection with the jade slip. He wondered what it is.
‹Guardian, this is called spiritual connection. The jade slip will now automatically transfer the information in it to you as long as you supply soul force to maintain the spiritual connection› Noah clarified.
Whittaker nods his head, understanding what Noah meant by his words for he felt the jade slip transferring a massive amount of information to him through the spiritual connection. He could hear indescribable murmurs. They echoed in Whittaker's head but he remained clear-headed enough to supply the jade slip with soul force.
The murmurs continuously echoed in his mind for four whole hours before silence suddenly returned, and Whittaker could feel the offensive soul needles technique being branded into his mind.
'What a surprise. I have not only gained information about it but can also use it,' Whittaker thought with a pleasant smile.
‹Congratulations! You have Learned the skill: Soul needles›
Quest completed: Learn a soul technique with your efforts.
‹Rewards: +1 Skill Development point, +10 soul force›
[Soul force unit increased: 10»20. Total Soul force in the soul seed: 20/20]
"Hooray!" Whittaker was happy since he has gained 10 soul force. This was ten hours of boring effort. Gaining 10 soul forces means meditating for ten hours but he obtained it while learning a powerful soul skill. Plus, he also obtained a skill development point as a bonus. What a great day this is, he thought.
Whittaker stood up and went to the training ground.
He came here to practice the foot skill he had learned from the Zen Flame puppet.
He immediately put his photographic memory to use and now he could clearly see the way Zen Flame Puppet had condensed battle energy beneath its feet to gain a sudden burst of speed. He followed the same thing it did.
He got in a fighting stance, lifted his right foot, and slammed it onto the ground while at the same time he inputted 3 units of battle energy on the toes of the same foot.
WHOOOSH!
His body was blasted ahead, leaving a massive crack on the ground which healed automatically as the Land As Before formation was erected on the training ground.
He was going to crash right into the trunk of an ancient towering tree. Just before he was gonna crash, Whittaker slammed his left foot onto the ground while at the same time he inputted 3 units of battle energy on the toes of the same foot.
Boom!
At the very last second, his direction instantly changed to the right at a rapid speed and he fortunately avoided a head-on crash with the tree.
"Wow, it's like I thought. Mastering the movement skill I somehow utilized to climb to the 332 steps of the heaven-reaching trial will bring me great benefits!"
Whittaker continued to train. He wasn't merely learning or mastering this footwork, he was modifying it, and at the same time, letting his body adapt to its use.
After several minutes of practicing the movement technique, he finally had modified it to a satisfying version.
While following the technique from the Zen Flame puppet, Whittaker was able to add a twist of his own and create a different version. The one that satisfied him the most was 09. The version in which he mixed tiptoeing with the single burst movement skill and created a skill that utilizes sudden bursts of battle energy beneath the feet to rapidly increase a person's speed again and again.
But a single-use utilizes one-fourth or even half of his battle energy depending on the amount of burst steps he takes.
He started to practice more to master it. It was nighttime and the training ground was completely dark. In the training ground, footsteps could be heard but its source could not be seen, almost as if a ghost has haunted the place. Soon after, the echoes of footsteps stopped as Whittaker was tired from executing the skill he created by mixing tiptoeing and demonic flame rush skill of Zen flame puppet.
‹Congratulations. The guardian has created his skill from the footstep of the Zen flame puppet›
‹Personal skill created: Ghost step!› Noah notified.
The description of the skill was simple, and it was separated into nine versions. Using this skill, Whittaker will move so fast that he leaves behind an afterimage or afterimages depending on the version he utilizes.
Although it cost a lot of battle energy but it was a powerful movement skill, after all, and he liked it too.
"I am certain that once I master it then not even the sound of footstep could be heard. At that time, the beasts won't even notice my arrival before I reap their lives. Phew, I'm tired. Time to go back and sleep!" He said while whistling and tiptoeing his way back.
He has yet not thought that there will come a day when he has to fight and "Kill" other humans. However, he has thought of viciously harming the enemies of his parents. He has missed his mother. This feeling amplified when Lord Dark Spirit sang the song she used to sing to him. He wanted revenge but he still wasn't tainted by hatred.
When he returned to the room and sat on the bed, he suddenly felt a disturbance in his soul space.
He smiled, knowing full well what the reason behind the disturbance is.
Wolfie has woken up and was howling lightly in the soul space. To his surprise, Whittaker could make out what it is was saying.
Wolfie said: "Papa, pull me out. I'm bored and want to play!"
"I'm able to understand what it says, hmm, its definitely because of the beast tamer skill!" He concluded.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
