Lucinda moved toward an empty area of the encampment."So, what is your bright idea?"Preston followed him with Yaoyao and Errol at her sides.Lucinda looked around and nodded in satisfaction."Captain, there should be around fifty soldiers in your troop, am I right?"Preston answered with a confused expression."Well, yes. Fifty-three to be precise."Lucinda continued."And I believe that the items from the inheritance ground will stay with you until the envoy from the Royal family arrives, right?""That is true."Yaoyao and Errol were already shaking their heads since they understood Sara's intentions.Lucinda made a gesture and the "Breath" blessing inside Nigel's space-ring materialized on the ground.Its appearance attracted the attention of the entire camp since the density of the "Breath" instantly increased by one-fold.Preston's mouth was hanging on his jaw, he still hadn't inspected the goods that the students retrieved and he was quite shocked to see such a precious mineral
'Oh right, I only gave him enough money for two months of wine.'Lucinda looked at the pitiful state in which Ivor was.He had returned to his previous smelly and ragged figure and tens of empty jars were left all around the floor.Lucinda picked a thousand Credits and casually threw them to him."Go to the alchemy division and buy some wine, money shouldn't be a problem from now on."Just the amount that she had seized from the rewards amounted to ten thousand Credits, Ivor's expenses could be covered for two years with those.Seeing that he was about to complain more, Lucinda revealed him something to placate his mood."You might want to know that I've decided to accumulate "Breath" again in my sea of consciousness."Lucinda knew that even if Ivor didn't pressure her, he had a lot of expectations regarding her improvements in the Elemental forging method.Ivor's eyes lit up and regained some focus."Are you sure? Is the internal pressure gone?"Lucinda shook her head."Not completel
Sara walked toward the inventory of the Sect.'Win-win she says… she just wants to use me to get the Royal inheritance, I don't know if I'll have any value after that.'He was thinking about his conversation with the royals.'It might be fine till I'm discovered but what will happen at that point? I don't believe that they will simply clear my name, nor that I will allow them to do so. My future clash with Alpha Calhoun's pack is set in stone.''What's most likely to happen is that Jake will be blamed for everything will trade my life to pacify the situation.He was a criminal, there was no other way to see it.The Royal family was in charge of the county but they had to maintain a peaceful relationship with their subjects.Jake sighed after realizing that his only option was the usual one.'I need power.'She reached the inventory and showed her token to the guards that let him pass almost immediately."What can I do for you this time?"Professor Lynn spoke to her with a trace of in
Lucinda wasn't concerned about the tests of her courses.She was genuinely interested in the study of magical beasts so she had diligently memorized every lesson of that course, a simple written examination wasn't something that could worry her.There was nothing to say about the real battle course, her strength was overwhelming among the students of her class and she had real experiences with battle formations, failing in that test was virtually impossible for her.Regarding general cultivation, the test emphasized the progress of the students during their enrollment in the academy, Sara could pass that one just by revealing half of his mental energy."Are you ready to start?"Ivor recovered from his amazement and became excited."Yes, being a rank 2 beast should allow me to forge something useful for my level. I just need to store enough "Breath" in my sea of consciousness to make it reach the same density of a cultivator in the liquid stage."In the various books that Ivor gave her
A big commotion occurred in the Sect.It was the period after the final examinations of the courses, normally most of the students would return to their families or engage in long missions at that time.However, all the students chose to delay their plans due to an unexpected event.Lucinda, the recluse student that showed her face only during the lessons but that also broke Daniel's record, challenged Manuel Gousho, the current holder of the title of the strongest student in the academy.The Gousho family was a large-size noble family affiliated with the Udye.Daniel and Manuel had a friendly relationship but, due to their age gap, their level had always been quite far away, never allowing a proper confrontation between them.After Daniel left, Manuel had taken his position as the leader of the new generation, obtaining respect and reverence from his peers.Manuel was a man nearing twenty years of age.Since he had seized the best accommodation in the academy, his power had steadily
Manuel was astonished!'How did she manage to hit me through the barrier of lightning?!?'His martial art focused on defense, logically speaking, it had to match Lucinda's attacks.However, Lucinda still successfully hit him.He didn't know that after her second time witnessing that technique, Lucinda could clearly see through its weak spots.'Being a rank 2 beast is wonderful. The speed of my thoughts increased drastically and I can notice details that I was completely ignorant about!'She felt that he could see through everything!Some merit must be addressed to her battle experience though, seeing a weakness and exploiting it were two different things after all."Do you surrender or you want to see if my "Breath" will last till I hit your throat?"Lucinda mocked him with his own words.She was holding back, not using any of her new spells.She was sure that, after that match, her name would be widely known so she wanted to hide at all cost her power and, most importantly, the natur
She had a lot of memories of her battles.From the first time when he fought the rank 1 Four-eyes wolves to her recent fight in the arena, her combat style has always focused on two qualities: speed and sharpness.She tried to imprint her meaning of sharpness on the dark lake, concentrating on the memories where she killed her enemies in one blow.The refinement process took a long time.She had to first synchronize her mental energy with her idea of sharpness and then mix more mental energy in the dark lake to align the nature of the "Breath" with the one that she had set.Another week passed, with Ivor calmly standing right next to her, waiting for the results of her refinement.On the night of the seventh day, Lucinda opened her eyes and stretched and her arms in front of her.Over her palm, a blue liquid floated peacefully.Every drop in the small pond resembled a small blade and a faint sense of sharpness was exuded from it.Ivor immediately neared the liquid and carefully inspec
'This should be the best that I can hope for with my current experience.'Sara thought, analyzing the "Breath" in her sea of consciousness.'Let's try to forge with this.'Another bone of Sun tiger appeared in her hand.Lucinda carefully manipulated a small part of the "Breath" in her mental sphere and slowly inserted it in the bone.It immediately started cracking, the piece of the beast was opposing that foreign substance.However, Lucinda controlled the "Breath" to force the item to stay still, using her mental energy and "Breath" in the dantian to envelop the bone.A black membrane appeared around the item in her hand.That was one of the incubating methods described in the forging procedures.With the membrane around it, the bone could not break toward the outside and was forced to mix with Sara's "Breath".Its color changed, from a pale white with shades of red, it became darker, turning gray with purple tones.Lucinda then controlled it to change shape.Inside the incubating me
