The large brown-furred Molen red-eyed and angry charged at us, 'Leo is doing such a great job at hiding his presence, to such a weak beast even I can't sense a thing from him, are all tiger beasts so good at masking themselves?' I thought
With a simple swing of his large tiger paw, one hit to the crazed Molen's head was enough to send it to the rat afterlife. "Come on get its blood," Said Leo, turning back to look at me.
Scratching my long spiky hair, I gazed intently into Leo's golden eyes, "Can you let me kill the Molens myself next time," I said resolutely
"Oho! Are you by any chance embarrassed that I'm helping you kid? Look, we have no time for you to be picky about how you want to attain victory, you're sick and, having me here is not a bad thing at all is it now?" Asked Leo.
I then shook my head, "It's not that, it's just if the enemy is more powerful than me to an extent that I can't escape then I will gladly let you take care of them, I just don't want to always be hiding behind others strength it's something I learned in order to become a cultivator," I said remembering my first time in the simulation inside my mind realm.
Nodding his large orange furred head in agreement Leo, smiled satisfyingly, and moved aside, "Okay then I like the way you think even I won't be with you forever even in the future when you are injured you probably won't be as lucky to have a saint level beast by your side.
He continued, "The next one will be yours to hunt. Enduring the pressure of death from the space sickness will get you working harder I presume, so be calm-headed and don't rush to attain victory," He said, breathing out orange fire, burning the corpse of the larger furred molen he had just crushed.
My eyes became a little moist from Leo's understanding then I walked in front, 'I might not have any origin energy but all my stats still remain together with my stamina and spirit energy.' I thought
Class: Dual Wielder Cultivator
Job: (Novice[F]) Origin User Builder
Health Points (HP): 30/129
Origin Energy (OE): -30/29
Spirit energy(SE): 20/29
Stamina: 34/34
The roasting of the molen meat created an unexpected sweet aroma which instantly left me stunned, "Wow" but before I could even tell Leo to not burn the whole thing into ashes, I heard a furious beast cry in the darkness.
"Sreeek!"
A molen came charging, fuming white steam from its star nose, its jaw already open revealing its jagged sharp teeth ready to tear a huge chunk of flesh from my neck, "I still have appraisal,"
*Appraisal*
Molen beast
Cultivation level: Mortal release 6th stage
"Well if I had my origin energy I could just freeze you but my strength stat is enough to block attacks from an Ascension stage, bashing your head in with this metal hammer should be a breeze," I said
Taking a battle stance I held the long handle hammer that is a meter longer than my short body, breathing in and out I waited for the molen to get closer to me.
In less than a meter away from the hammerhead, I jumped up and ruthlessly collided my hammerhead into the mouth of the crazed beast shattering its teeth as it had tried taking a bite at my head in mid-air,
"Heck!" Choking on its own teeth and the hammerhead I forcefully sunk the hammer deep down its throat leaving only a small piece of my handle exposed.
Ping!
Molen beast killed
Collect blood to make blueprints
"Finally,"
"Not bad kid, you handled that quite savagely, A good crafter in Afreya, has to be good at killing beasts and fighting in order to both collect resources and protect themselves from being controlled by the strong," Said Leo with a smile
He continued, "I see you haven't learned any techniques in fighting and controlling your powers but just swing your hammer around using brute strength and natural agility, how about I teach you my beast techniques so that you can at least not die in the future from not having any techniques to release your full potential in your body," Said Leo
Excitement filled my heart, Even though I have a dual wielder cultivator class I Still have no idea how to upgrade it, but the Builder Job class with nonstop forging and building I'm sure it would level up soon in its ranks, I then asked, "Then what technique can you teach me?"
Leo then puffed out his chest, seemingly ready to Shatter my whole world with the words he was about to utter, "Hehehe prepare yourself, kid, the technique I offer does not come cheap, it is sought after by many humans, demons, and dragonkin alike, and I had to kill a fair share of bastards who tried to come after me to attain this skill,
And it is extremely hard to cultivate, but the power said to be able to be obtained from it can rival even gods themselves, It mainly needs a dual wilder cultivator such as yourself and the resources needed to cultivate it are immense, but I trust that since you are a forger that will not be a problem,"
Before he could finish I interrupted him, "Then tell me the reason and conditions for me to get this technique," A flash of interest appeared in Leo's eyes and then followed a wide grin.
"I need you to be a powerful builder to help forge my scroll print and I need you to be alive by that time, Afreya is a polluted and damaged planet, and the blacksmith's in here are very few in number and are mainly humans, that have monopolized their skills for money, If I do a favor for you today I will certainly get more out of this in the future," said Leo with a smile as his whiskers lit up into a matchstick
Clearly, he was excited to get a friend builder that would make weapons and luxuries housing for him in the future.
"Hmm...Okay, then I will accept,"
"Oho! No hesitation at all Even though I haven't told you the name of the technique yet?" Said Leo
I only grinned, "A technique used by a saint-level beast like yourself must be worth a lot, and quite frankly where will I find such a technique like that ever again?" I said
Leo nodded his head in satisfaction. "Good then come closer, with this technique, it's made to help you control your power and help change the flow of your movements, enhance your bloodline potential skills, and cleanse your body,"
Tapping his fingers onto my forehead a set of complicated runes and symbols appeared inside my head releasing immense pressure that was close to the pressure I felt from the sage-like youth I talked within my mind realm causing a ripple of excitement to cover my whole body,
Ping!
A new cultivation technique has Been acquired
Do you wish to learn "Yes/No"
"Yes"
The technique has been uploaded to the system,
MYTHIC QUAD STEP GOD BEASTS TRIGRAM CONSTELLATION
"What a domineering and fucking long name," I said looking at the name then gazed back up to Leo who held nothing but a goofy smile on his face.
"To proceed in this technique you just have to train hard with it, get enlightened, and consume plenty of Origin energy spirit stones. As you have seen both my flame power and my current tiger form you should know I wasn't like this at first. I gained all this power by just cultivating that technique" Said Leo
