"So it's a girl, by my judgement you should be strong enough to go looking through this world without much trouble..." he said.
"I'm not sure you know this sir but I'm pretty sure the world has changed a lot and this is not actually my or your world..." Zhao Eei replied.
"Hmm... that is true." The simple reply astonished Zhao Wei. He looked for a reaction from the old man but there was nothing.
"Don't look at me like that I don't swing that way...Besides your abilities are different than those from my world's" Pitka scanned Zhao Wei's body again to make sure. "For us our abilities were with us since we were born, our bodies in harmony with the power it holds and synchronized with a bountiful world. But you, it's like you've been living in a dry world for a long time and suddenly someone put power in your body."
Zhao Wei understood what he meant, his earth was a dry place without any of the energy or Tantra around. In theory, the bodies of the humans there were also 'dry' without any form of power flowing through it. Suddenly during the change, all of their bodies were inserted with power by the system which also acted as a parameter to keep his abilities from overflowing into his body and killing him.
This was why when he uses the traps with his body it starts crumbling. Because it couldn't hold such power.
"I don't know how but something has been keeping your power from running amok in your body, but some time recently, most of this control was broken... I'm not sure about your specific circumstances but now your body is being influenced by power it cannot contain, you're like an old wineskin with new wine, at some point you'll just burst." Explained Pitka.
Zhao Wei was daunted from the statement. It was pretty accurate and probably the cause of his status screen showing N\As allover his constitution board. "Is there any way to fix this?" Zhao Wei asked worriedly.
"You'd have to keep strengthening your body until such a point where it can receive this power without any hindrances. Actually, you've done good so far, if you hadn't brought your body this far, you'd probably already be dead from the first time the power started leaking into it..." Pitka stood up and turned to leave. "But it's still leaking, over time the power will keep saturating your body, and if ever a time comes that the leaked power surpasses your body's limit.. I think there's no need for me to tell you what would happen."
Zhao Wei understood it completely, just keep getting stronger. As long as his body was trained to grow accustomed to the energy than he should be able to survive even if it was completely released into his body one day.
A book was thrown in front of him, in it were pictures of humans in a lotus position with many diagrams of movement through the body.
"Come back here tomorrow, I expect you to have already memorized the book by tomorrow." He said as he began moving away.
"Uh... sir" Zhao Wei called out. Pitka kept moving, in his mind he thought Zhao Wei wanted to ask for more.
"I don't know how to read this." When the sentence came out, the warrior who had never fallen in battle almost tripped.
"Do you have a place to go to?" Pitka asked.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Minutes later both of them arrived at Solith's place. Solith who came to the door was quite shocked. Zhao Wei had originally wanted to go to his carriage but decided against it since it was a big deal according to Solith right now.
If anyone was brought there, it might possibly bring some trouble to them. Even if the old man could probably take care of himself he didn't want to take the chance. So he could only think of Solith's place other than his. He thought Solith was just unprepared for more guests, what he didn't know was that he was shocked by the person coming with him.
Sola packed her head from the door, "Uncle!! You came back!!" Her eyes twinkled and she reached out her hand.
Zhao Wei took a dried fruit piece and put it in her hand. "Brother."
"Uncle!"
Two pieces, "Brother."
"Uncle!"
Three pieces, "Brother"
"I didn't see you there big brother."
Zhao Wei almost cried on the spot from hearing the call, it was worth it.
Behind him Solith was stuttering at the sight of Pitka, "S..Sir..."
"Shh...." Pitka brought his fingers to his lips as he stepped inside.
Inside, Sola looked at Pitka curiously, then she turned to Solith. "Daddy there's so many guests these past few days, yesterday you brought big brother now you brought a grandpa over."
Pitka smiled kindly and bent down holding her hand, "Young lady what is your name?"
After glancing at Solith to make sure it was okay she answered, "Sola."
"Well it's nice to meet you," Pitka said, "My name is Pitka, in the future you can call me uncle Pitka."
Sola frowned, "Yesterday uncle Zhao Wei asked to be called brother even though he looked older than daddy, grandpa looks much older than uncle and you want to be called uncle?"
Pitka almost coughed up blood from the damage of such words coming from such an innocent girl. Nearby, blood dropped down Zhao Wei's mouth, the payment only lasted a short while. Two critical in one.
