Free Web NovelChapter 137: Should I Give Ashen To Her?
Sword Intent was the practitioner’s concept of their sword. Since Master Shen focused on "breaking the center of balance" of his opponent, whenever he released his Sword Intent, it always aimed to break their center of balance. Even if it was a moving object, not a single thing could escape his Sword Intent.
Of course, it wasn’t just a simple as breaking their center of balance.
Felix had finally felt what Sword Intent was, and it surely left him awestruck.
Guide immediately explained to him what Master Shen’s Sword Intent, causing him to wonder what kind of Sword Intent he’d develop later on.
Even when he practiced the sword art of an immortal, he believed he still has his own Sword Intent.
[Attain Sword Unity first.]
Felix smiled bitterly. Developing Sword Qi was easy as he could simply follow what the techniques taught him, but Sword Unity was entirely different.
That and past that required experience and deep comprehension of the way of the sword.
Master Shen sheathed his sword, and Doctor Eleanor instantly reprimanded him.
"Why bother unsheathing the sword if you aimed to stylishly negate Felix’s arrow? Also, it’s supposed to be Felix stage. Why are you taking his spotlight?!"
Doctor Eleanor showed a clear displeased expression, crossing her arms as she faced Master Shen.
Master Shen was taken aback and was lost for words.
He stared at Felix and was about to ask, when Felix said, "The fire arrow was supposed to explode upon impact. I guess, it’s ineffective against powerful opponents." Felix smiled... bitterly.
Master Shen felt guilty. He was about to draw his sword, when Felix said, "Also, this is Ashen, my new weapon. She’s sweet and innocent. She is greeting you all."
Master Shen smiled bitterly, knowing that Felix had already moved on and began to introduce Ashen to them.
He sighed inwardly. I seem to have messed up.
Mia ran towards his brother and curiously glanced at Ashen. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and began communicating with Ashen.
To Felix’s utterly surprised, Ashen and Mia was communicating as if they could understand each other.
He stared at Mia with sparkling eyes. This girl... how could she communicate with Ashen. Also, why didn’t she communicate with Rain before? Is it because he’s a boy?
Felix was lost for words. He waited until Mia and Ashen’s conversation simmered down and summoned Rain.
He brought Rain closer to Mia and said, "This is Rain, Mia. Why didn’t you communicate with him before?"
Mia dazed at Rain. After a while, she said, "He not loves communicate with Mia. Ashen is a good sister. I like her more."
Rain resonated a depressed hum. He hastily explained to his master that he did not have an idea he could communicate with others, except him.
Furthermore, it was Mia who initiated a conversation with Ashen. If Mia did it to him, he would definitely respond.
Felix heard Rain’s reasoning and chuckled.
He stared at Mia and suddenly moved Ashen closer to her.
Mia was taken aback. She immediately understood her big brother’s gesture. She slowly moved her hand closer to Ashen.
When her fingertips touched Ashen’s body, her hair stood on ends. She instantly grasped Ashen, and a wave of fire energy entered her body, surprisingly not harming her.
Felix was stunned. In other words, Mia could now fight, even utilizing energy on her surroundings. With Ashen, even Awakener Beast Tamer might be unable to defeat her.
That is, unless she could draw the bow.
Just as he thought so, Mia followed Ashen’s instructions and drew the bow.
She aimed it as Master Shen, who was still frozen for what was happening. Then, a fire energy manifested, not only originated from Ashen but also to the energy on their surroundings—converted by Ashen into fire energy.
As the bow was fully drawn, with the guidance of Ashen, Mia pulled the string, and the fire arrow bolted at a rapid speed similar before.
Master Shen was about to negate it with Sword Intent but managed to restrain himself as soon as he was startled awake.
He raised his hand and summoned a concentrated water energy on his index finger. Felix’s eyes widened when he gazed at his index finger.
The sheer volume of water energy alone was as powerful, if not more powerful than the water energy that he and Rain summoned combined.
In other words, the fire arrow might fail to break through his index finger.
Nevertheless, as soon as the fire arrow collided with his index finger and failed to pierce through, the fire arrow exploded.
It was immense, instantly swallowing Master Shen whole.
Mia’s eyes widened. She was horrified, but before she could panic and felt guilty of what she had done, Felix grabbed her shoulder and assured her.
"Don’t worry, if even I can’t harm him, you can’t also harm him. He’s a powerful master for a reason."
Mia relaxed after hearing her big brother’s words. She stared at the smoke that covered Master Shen. When it slowly dispersed, Master Shen appeared unharmed.
The water energy on his index finger was no more, but there was not a single scratch on him. However, the shock spread across on his face.
Not once in his entire life that he’d expected a fourteen-years old to attack him with a bow with arrows that would explode upon impact.
Before he could fully process what happened, Felix clapped and praised Mia, who showed a joyful expression. Krisha was also snapped awake, clapping and praising Mia, causing the latter to feel embarrassed and immensely proud.
She kept thanking Ashen repeatedly, deepening their bond.
Sarah and Noah remained dumbfounded. Not once they would ever expect for Mia to suddenly have the capability to fight.
Like others, they had many questions. However, Felix was the only one who received an answer from Guide.
[Normally, those who were contacted with Spirit Meridian Withering Syndrome disease, after having been cured with the Four-Beast Meridian Reforging Ritual, had their physique mutate and attained the heavenly constitution called Heavenwoven Meridian Physique.
It’s an extremely rare physique that can only be attained with specific conditions, aside from Spirit Meridian Withering Syndrome disease and having been cured with Four-Beast Meridian Reforging Ritual.
This physique is the result of their destroyed meridians to be reconstructed into pathways more compatible with Heaven and Earth energy.]
Just as Felix was chatting with Guide, Doctor Ella asked Doctor Eleanor, "You mentioned that anyone who survived the Sleeping Hollow Disease had their body develop to an extraordinary physique, right?"
Doctor Eleanor was dazing at Mia with shock. It took her a while to process what Doctor Ella had said an absent-mindedly nodded.
She said, "Yes, but not to this extent. I didn’t expect this... Or I should have..."
Her voice was filled with uncertainty.
Doctor Ella nodded. "Well, aside from the Sleeping Hollow Disease, we should not forget she’s Felix’s sister" freēwebnovel.com
For some reason, what she said made sense.
Mia and Ashen continued chatting, making Krisha felt ignored. Nevertheless, she was elated she had Mia’s attention after she kept praising her.
At the same time, Felix observed.
"Should I give Ashen to her?"
[You can temporarily allow her to use it, but in the end, you are the only one who can bring out Ashen’s potential. Even when she’s guided by Ashen herself, it’s still not enough.]
Felix agreed. "Nevertheless, since she can use Ashen, then I don’t have to wrack my brains to figure out how to use Rain and Ashen at the same time."
[That’s a good idea, Host. Though, you can just use Rain as an arrow, just saying.]
Felix’s eyes widened. "How is that possible?"
[You’ll understand once you’ve reached Sword Unity and Archer Unity.]
Felix gulped. The idea of using Rain as an arrow thrilled him. He was lost in his own thoughts that Krisha snapped him awake.
"What are you thinking so deeply about?"
Felix glanced at her and smiled. "Something very interesting."
Krisha rolled her eyes. "Is that something as exciting as registering ourselves as officially a Commander Beast Tamer in the Beast Tamer Department?"
Felix’s eyes sparkled. Before he could say anything, Doctor Eleanor walked closer to them and said, "The Annual National Medical Assembly will happen the day after tomorrow, so you can register by tomorrow. Let’s just hope that you’ll immediately be catered by them."
Doctor Ella grabbed Doctor Eleanor’s shoulder, leaned her cheeks on her shoulder, and said, "You forgot that you can reserve online. Leave the rest to me."
...
They had a joyful conversation after they praised Mia incessantly. Mia was incredibly happy. She deepened her bond with Ashen.
Doctor Ella then informed Felix and Krisha that they did not need to reserve for tomorrow, the Beast Tamer Department, even the main branch—Clark City, had already put them as most prioritized.
They were delighted.
Doctor Ella then shared that the main Beast Tamer Department in the Clark City was located in the Outer Bastion Ring.
They were surprised. At first, they believed it would be located in the Crown Administrative Ring.
Doctor Ella explained that placing the Beast Tamer Department at the Outer Bastion Ring made it closer to deployment zones, aerial launch facilities, training grounds, and beast containment infrastructure.
Of course, the Beast Tamer Department were interconnected with different ring, but placing it at the Outer Bastion Ring was believed to be convenient.
The next day, by riding in the van of Doctor Ella, they proceeded at the Outer Bastion Ring, which took sometime as they also had to pass through the Industrial Ring, giving their time to explore some parts of the Clark City...
