Fronze as the first in the shack did his best to not be stunned by the gear. Using his Tier 2 spirit cultivation he can summon two broadswords in the make and shape of the jaw of an alligator. 'I should get supportive gear. Ah, greaves.' Right as Fronze began to reach for the fashionable looking legwear, Luber Gotten arrived.
'I should just hang back right? Where are the shields?' If anyone could hear the thoughts of this ferocious bloodsucking creature, they would surely have their minds broken.
They would probably say things like…
'Since when do immortal creatures feel fear?'
'You don't even have to struggle to be that strong.'
'The least you can do is pretend.'
Damian and Terry arrived at the same time looking for the same thing, Krinis stone. Krinis stone is a rare mineral that has spent centuries absorbing energy. Grabbing all they could they quickly rushed back out to the field followed by Fronz with Luber dawdling even further behind.
"Battle starts in 3" Vana began to yell.
"2" Falcon Squad began to summon their powers to prepare for the coming battle.
"1" Prince Adoli slightly raised his hand. Showing them his palm.
"Fight!" His palm closed.
Before any of the falcon squad could fully unleash any of their abilities Dark roots began to shoot up from the ground around them. Before the onlookers knew it. All of the Falcon squad disappeared.
"Bull Malarcky" (Bj Holmes)
"Sugar Honey Iced Tea" (Ian Matten)
"Too Strong" (Fen Lockson)
Seeing the look of astonishment on the faces of the new recruits, Adoli couldn't help but smirk to himself. As a kid he studied cultivation as much as he could.
Seeing so many powerful people call themselves your family members creates such an intense amount of pressure to be just as great. When his potential was tested he was found to have an unknown rating.
It is commonly believed that those with an unknown potential rating can be very powerful but without a similar example it can be very difficult to progress. As the potential rating doesn't only judge what are the possible limitations of your abilities, it also tests the probability of you rising to greater levels in the future.
Those with unknown potential normally find it hard to progress because there is not alot of available information or otherwise to help them progress.
Yet, his father took him to the side and really opened his eyes to the world. Those with unknown ratings are just the same as everyone else only they are hindered not by their inability to gather information or resources, but by their view of the world.
'All things may have an end, but all things are continuous.' A true genius is one that can pull from all paths to solidify his own.
"Do not worry, they are all fine. None of you are anywhere near strong enough to contend with me. Do not take it to heart but let it be a motive for you to get stronger." Vana rolled her eyes seeing her brother get a big head again.
"They have been sent on to attempt to refine a Darkwood Seed. As all of you will learn, the Darkwood tree is Mystical and very powerful. If you can cultivate a seed you will find your abilities will further develop and on the first seed you will receive I have inscribed a proper cultivation diagram along with a few instructions. If you follow it, your abilities will mutate."
"Most of you have only recently left domestic life and are now planning to enter into a millitant force. One thought I must help you rectify is the belief that mutated powers are evil or dangerous. They are not." Shock spread upon the faces of the recruits with lesser backgrounds.
"You cultivate to advance the level of your existence but you mutate to strengthen your current existence. One of the major benefits of our kingdoms proximity to the Macchu mountains and an advantage many other countries would die for is the access to natural treasures and beast materials. Using these you can maximize mutations in your current realm. In doing so when you advance the effect would lead to an exponential increase in power."
"Woah."
"I didn't know there was such a thing."
"My Darkwood seeds are an extension of my abilities. Once you have cultivated one and refined it with your essence it will reside in your mental scape and there it will grow. Using it you can plant more seeds which will help you mutate further or develop other abilities. It will also allow you to teleport to me in times of crisis. And lastly for the most important secret of the Darkwood. If need be you can exchange it for your life."
3 recruits passed out. What kind of ability was this. Isn't this cheating? Heavens'? Heavens' Oh, where art thou? How could you pass me over but bless others so?
"But the cultivation process is very difficult. In fact for all but 2 of the current Darkwood officers they can count the number of my seeds with one hand of which they have cultivated."
"That's what she said." Lance couldn't help it. He quickly tried to hide in line hoping Princess Vana wouldn't have noticed.
*Ahem*
"Like I was saying, it will not be easy, but as long as you keep faith and persevere you will get stronger."
After the lecture the Darkwood god Legion went to arm themselves…
