Chapter 746 - Training After failing to find a viable solution to fight the Beholder, the group went to their own business with Emery choosing to focus on improving his skill and returned to his training. By this time, he had defeated a large number of high-ranking beasts, as many as twenty creatures. Thanks to his efforts, he was able to obtain a total of twelve red spirit stones as a reward. Despite the fact the precious stones were unquestionably valuable, in Emery's personal opinion, those fights were even more valuable than the stones as they brought more benefits than he had anticipated. High-level fights like this were something he truly needed. He could never find such a monster on Earth for obvious reasons. What he usually did most of his time in the academy was training with the combat puppets or just sparring against other acolytes. He believed he had not had as many life and death fights compared to the other privileged acolytes, hence the importance of such fights. On the island, Emery had a chance to experience fights with different kinds of beasts, each of which had its own set of characteristics and abilities. For instance, the silver ape had a very thick skin and high stamina, which meant the solution he came up with to deal with it was to use his speed to drain its stamina. There was also a type of bug that moved at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye. For this beast, Emery resorted to relying on his illusion to defeat it. One particularly fascinating fight involved a large centipede with a dozen sword arms, which made for an especially interesting spectacle. Emery believed these experiences greatly aided him in the advancement of his sword technique. His main concern however was still the corruption on his body, the one that kept emerging whenever he used his [Fey Transformation] technique. To deal with this issue, Emery had been using the transformation to train his body to become more accustomed to the urge, trying to control it on a constant basis as a solution to this problem. The last two weeks he managed to add two minutes to his transformation before the urge started to come. Despite the fact it was such a baby step, it was preferable rather than taking no improvement at all The girls said that the beholder's main strength was its magical abilities, he became convinced that his [Shaman Transformation], which provided powerful magical resistance, would be a viable solution if they decided to fight the creature. While he was thinking about his bloodline, he was reminded of a certain book he hasn't had the time to check yet. Without giving it any thought, he immediately opened his spatial space and took out a book. This was the book that had been given to him by Klea before he went on the mission. [The Mythical Wolf Fenrir and Its Two Offsprings: The Night Wolf and The Day Wolf] It was a black hardcover book and the illustration on its cover was quite attractive. It portrayed a picture of two wolves, one of which was chasing the sun and the other was chasing the moon. As he opened the book, he read through its hundred pages carefully, trying to pay attention to some particular points. As he flipped through the pages, he found some weird letters as well as numerous notes written by Klea. He went through the notes and found out half of the information in the book turned out to correspond to what king Fjolnir had previously told him about the legend of the Asgard people and the Ragnarok that involved Fenrir the Godwolf. His attention was drawn to the part of the notes that had been highlighted by Klea. The God wolf Fenrir had two offspring, one of them known as Skoll, the night, was longing for a sun, the other known as Hati, the day, was described as a creature that chased the moon. The former was symbolized as the light, whereas the latter was symbolized as the darkness. Each had its own characteristics. One represented warmth, energy, motion, and loudness, while the other was more associated with cooler, quieter, more still, and darker characteristics. Two diametrically opposed forces that were the building blocks of everything in the universe were constantly at odds with one another, attempting to regulate each other. Emery submerged into the text. He unconsciously found a new epiphany about the similarities between this text and the [Dao Divine Technique] as a result of this immersion. The idea of longing and chasing were not limited to their literal interpretation. It conveyed a broader meaning in that it was not just about achieving balance, but it also included about changing or adapting to new circumstances. It was not something that remained constant throughout the time. In fact, under certain circumstances, each of these entities might transform into the other, allowing the flow to continue uninterrupted. It was as if they were all part of a single whole that could not be separated, since they were all dependent on one another. After his soul tampering incident, Emery seemed to have discovered that it was much easier to send his consciousness into his spirit cores than he had previously thought. His consciousness was currently standing facing the two cores, as he could see the nature core and the dark core directly in front of him. [Spirit Core of Darkness - Stage 5] [Spirit Core of Nature - Stage 5] Since he had achieved mastery of the [Dao Divine Technique] stage 4, he managed to transform his spirit seed into the spirit core of nature and afterward painstakingly upgrade his nature core to reach the same level as his dark core. On the contrary, the channel he established between the two through the use of the dao divine technique remained unchanged. A difference of a fraction of 10 to 1 was significant. If an analogy was made, then it would be described as if there were two lakes that were similar in size in width and depth, but with a smaller river flowing through one of them than through the other. After having this new epiphany, Emery casted [Nature Grasp] and once again he attempted to open up the channel. … Time passed, Emery had been sitting on top of a large rock in the middle of the jungle for a few days now, completely unaware of his surroundings. That was until a girl came out from the trees and screamed, "There goes your chance to become another champion! We have officially missed the game! What a shame!" Annara had only come to vent her rage on this situation. Emery, on the other hand, was in such a state he really did not want to hear or care about the girl's rage.. He was merely hoping for a breakthrough at this moment.
