Death… And Me Chapter 652 - Let's Go There

Chapter 652 - Let's Go There

If one didn't consider the three idiots, everything proceeded smoothly from that point onwards. Rean began to use the Earth Peak Level materials he still had in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to make even more weapons. Weapons were quickly sold, so he prioritized them.

Of course, other than that, Rean also finished crafting his first Light Element Gathering Equipment a week later. As mentioned in the past, he wanted Agis to try and use it with his own Light and Spiritual Sense Bending Skill.

"Alright, Agis. I made a bracelet that can use the Light Element as long as you infuse Spiritual Energy inside. It can't compare to the amount that Roan and I can gather, but it should be enough for a test."

Agis nodded and then asked Rean.

"So, how does your Spiritual Sense and Light Bending Skill work?"

Rean smiled brightly after hearing that question as he placed a hand on Agis's shoulder. For some reason, Agis felt a chill on his back.

"It's great that you asked. Come with me, it's time for you to start your studies. Without the knowledge of what Light really is, it'll be impossible for you to manipulate it."

Rean then looked at Frandin as well, saying.

"You will come along as well. After all, you have Lightning Element Affinity, which is also a Yang Energy type. Once you obtain a Lightning cultivation technique that allows you to use Yang Energy, you'll be able to do it as well."

Frandin bitterly smiled in response before following Rean together with Agis. For the next few days, Rean had to consistently carve in their heads what energy really was, the fact that Light was also a source of energy, and that it was made of photons. Of course, that was just the beginning. He also had to provide his own concept that Spiritual Sense had Life Force. Inanimate objects couldn't use Spiritual Sense, which was the trick for the Spiritual Sense Bending part.

Qia, who had used the Electrical Formations with Rean for a long time, joined his cla.s.s out of her own volition. Then again, that was the first time that Rean went through the finer details. He especially taught her how Electricity worked and how he applied its uses with Spiritual Energy. Qia couldn't help but feel a headache when she began studying what atoms, and especially what electrons were.

Of course, it wasn't as if Rean was a scientist who knew everything. His knowledge was due to the Electrical Formations Repository in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Everything was explained there perfectly. Nevertheless, Rean could understand that easily because of his origin. For Qia, Frandin, and Agis... they probably wished to have a few life and death battles instead.

As for Malaka and Calina, they kept themselves as far as possible from Rean. Otherwise, they would be dragged into all of that—especially Malaka, who hated studying since the three were in the Varen Tribe.

Fortunately, Rean didn't need to teach Agis the entire academic curriculum, only the parts that mattered about his Light and Spiritual Sense Bending.

Eventually, after another week and a half, Rean considered that Agis had obtained a basic grasp of what he needed.

"Alright, this should be enough. Put on your bracelet and try to bend Light first. Use your Spiritual Energy to charge the bracelet and your Yang Energy to control it. Light is made up of photons. Although you can't really 'see' what a photon looks like, it's definitely there. It's because of it that your eyes even work. Light Element can obviously be used to control them."

Agis nodded before taking in a deep breath. Soon after, he poured his Spiritual Energy into Rean's bracelet, which immediately began to gather the Light Element from the surroundings. Following that, Agis activated his Fire Cultivation Technique and used the Yang Energy it proportioned to control the Light Element instead.

Rean looked at that and nodded, satisfied. At the very least, Agis understood how to use the Light Element with his Yang Energy. He truly lived up to his Red Color Apt.i.tude.

Suddenly, Agis's body began to turn blurry, as if it was a mirage. However, a few seconds later, it went back to normal as Agis gasped for air.

"Holy s.h.i.+t! This thing is incredibly difficult."

Rean laughed out loud, already expecting this much.

"Hahaha! Of course, it's hard. However, I'm impressed that you were able to partially control it during your first time. There's no doubt you wasted more than 90% of the Light Element gathered by your bracelet, but that's something you will need to train alone."

Rean then noticed Agis' thoughtful expression and asked.

"It seems like you finally believe the things I taught you, huh?"

Agis was taken aback before scratching his head in embarra.s.sment. Sure enough, even though Rean tried to explain it in much detail as possible, his words were too hard to believe for someone from the cultivation world. Only after Agis controlled the Light Element, just like how Rean told him to, did he finally understand that everything was real.

"Sorry...it was just too...how do I put it...mystical. But now, I understand it."

Rean didn't mind it.

"Anyway, since you're already at it, you might as well try the Spiritual Sense Bending Technique. Remember, Spiritual Sense can only be used by living beings. That being said, they all have life force. Without Life Force, there's no Spiritual Sense."

"Think about Spiritual Sense as wind, and the person using it as the source of that wind. Your job is to create a smooth barrier that will deflect the Spiritual Sense to the sides without perturbing it. As I mentioned, the closer you are to that source, the stronger their wind. Naturally, it becomes harder to bend Spiritual Sense. In contrast, you will feel the opposite effect from when someone with higher cultivation scans you. Instead of not noticing it because your cultivation is a lot lower, his Spiritual Sense will instead s.h.i.+ne like the sun for you. Of course, that also means that he can break through your Spiritual Sense Bending Barrier easier."

Agis nodded before beginning to try it out. This time, however, Agis failed many, many times. There was no helping it. After all, Spiritual Sense was completely different from simple Light.

Rean wasn't in a hurry, though. Agis already knew everything he should to improve. Rean then left Agis alone before returning to the workshop. After all, he wanted to finish forging at least seven or eight weapons by the time the next monthly auction started.

Agis took a total of two weeks to barely succeed in his first Spiritual Sense bending. Of course, his own mastery of the skill was at a very low level that even Frandin's Spiritual Sense, which was quite weak due to his cultivation, could pierce through his barrier. Nevertheless, with that one success, Agis finally grasped the principle behind it.

Rean was happy and curious at the same time. Agis had a very high talent and could comprehend things very quickly. If he already took this long to achieve the most basic level, he wondered how long someone else would take.

'Well, Frandin's far from being as talented as Agis, so I'll get an idea once he finds a Yang Energy cultivation technique.'

Suddenly, Roan entered Rean's workshop and looked at the people helping him make the weapons. Calina and the others obviously looked at him as one of them asked.

"What is it?"

Roan then pointed at Calina first before saying.

"Come, we have work to do."

Calina's expression went bright red as her imagination went on overdrive. However...

"After I'm done with you, send me Qia. Malaka's the next one. After her, it will be Agis and Frandin last."

Rean laughed as he understood what Roan was talking about.

"So you finally finished comprehending Soul Power, huh? Well, a certain someone definitely had the wrong idea just now."

Calina looked angrily at Rean as she replied.

"Shut up! You don't know what I thought at all."

Everyone smirked as they looked straight at Calina. Only an idiot...or Roan, wouldn't understand what pa.s.sed through her head.

"Stop wasting my time and come. I need to revise your own Soul Power to finish your training schedule."

Calina didn't need to hear that twice before she stormed away. Indeed, she couldn't hold the pressure.

Around thirty minutes later, Calina came back and told Qia to go see Roan. Just like that, the guys went to see Roan one after another, leaving only Rean without that.

Obviously, that puzzled Qia and the others. Eventually, one of them asked him.

"Rean, aren't you going to work on your new training schedule?"

Rean shook his head as he replied.

"There's no need. Roan and I can share our memories and feelings as long as we allow them to pa.s.s through our Soul Connection. I simply handed him everything I understood about my own Soul Power, and he already pa.s.sed to me back how I should work on it. Didn't you notice yet? The way I'm applying the elements into the weapons I'm crafting with my Soul Power has already changed a little."

Qia nodded as she said.

"Oh! That's why I felt like the flow of Soul Power around your hands seemed somewhat different. I see. By the way, is it possible to use Soul Power on the weapons as well?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he responded.

"Probably. After all, we saw that altar in the Rank Five Bloodline Trial Grounds. However, I'm still far away from being able to do it. Instead, I'm just using my Soul Power to have an easier time controlling the Elements. It helps a lot with forging and everything else."

Frandin, who wasn't in the room, came back sometime later.

"Rean, Roan. Isn't it time to go back to the Asume Clan?"

The two looked at him and had to admit that he was right.

"That's true. Let's go there."
