"Not bad, the withering flame stroke is powerful that it can beat the 10th stage of body tempering. Although I haven't mastered it yet I have trained it to a half completion. It also takes alot of qi to pull out so this is a last resort move"
Qi then went on to his dorms then prepared a set of brush and canvas.
"I've almost forgotten that ability. The ability to make things real. Let me try to draw a brush"
He began to scribble a brush. The canvas then shined a little then a thump could be heard.
"Hm its a brush. It's also the same as what i drew, the details and the design. I have also noticed it took a bit of my qi. Good thing it doesn't take my mental strength"
Qi went to the martial hall's(previously library hall)upper floors.
"I still havent tried to reach the 3rd floor. Maybe I'll try it"
Qi then began to walk the stairs. He could sense the gravity making him down on his knees. But he had a strong will and was persistent. He had reached the 3rd floor. The gravity was released and he sighed a breath of relief.
"Phew never knew it was that hard. If that was hard I wonder how'd you reach the 8th floor"
"Haha 8th floor? Are you dreaming?" a outer disciple had heard him
"Its hard enough for us to reach this floor and you want to reach the 8th floor? Only martial masters can reach it"
"Ah sorry" as Qi said. He did not want to cause a commotion as he is still weak.
"Tch" the outer disciple then left
"I should find the abilities of being a painter."
Qi began his search for information regarding of the abilities. He then stumbled upon a large book. He then opened it and was shocked. The contents were "The ability Wheel of creation can create anything the user wants as long as they have enough qi, if not there mental strength would be taken. It is a rare ability even to those who are in pursuit of painting. Only a 20% can use this. The 80% have a ability called Word shift that could paint on the air. The user can make a stroke of line and push it to their opponents. It isnt swift but deals a ton of damage if hit. There is a 1% chance of a user of wheel of creation can ma-"
"Why did it end here?.... Forget it I have already known what ability it is. Wheel of creation.... it will be pretty handy. Lets test it on my body if it could turn real."
He began to draw a dagger then used his ability. It changed to a real one on top of his palms. It would be pretty handy if I could use the ability Word Shift. Ive heard from rumors that you could train your mentality to gain those but it is a 1 in a 1000. But for those who have the painting aptitude already has that ability if they train a little on mental.
"I could use some mental tempering books in here. Hmmm... Soul wheel.. It could temper my mental cultivation very fast and can also temper my body. A great find! It can do both!"
He then practiced it on his dorm.
"No luck huh. Lets head to the mission hall to get a mission since I do not want to get kicked out."
Qi went to the mission halls then picked one of the D ranking quest. Slay 1 green boar, Rank- 7th stage of Body Tempering.
"Hm I can try my new technique on this boar"
He went out of the sect and went to the forest. He then began to look for a green boar.
"Woah is that a green boar? Theyre large and tall like a human. I would like to use the 8th stroke(Withering Flame Stroke) but I might get ambushed when I am weak. I shall set some traps first"
He began to draw a shovel and dug a hole large enough for the boar to fit,then he began to draw swords pointed upwards, afterwards he drew a carpet that is similar to the ground.
"Hehe at my current stage I do not think I could win."
He ran to the green boar then attacked it. It began to chase him. He began to run to his trap, as he was nearing he jumped above the trap as the boar falls. It was heavily injured due to his swords.
"Hmph I will now end your life.... As they said the weak dies while the strong lives. I am sorry"
He then used a technique he learned from a book called "Yin Brush Strike" He drew a stroke then it went to the boar.
"Although similar to Word Shift It isnt as strong, fast, and it is basically a lite version of it. A senior was said to have been inspired of "Word Shift" that he began to make something similar, however the results.... were bad."
He took the core of the boar as the requirement of the mission.
"This mission was not easy nor hard... I have a bad feeling."
As he began to leave the forest he saw a large shadow, similar to a snake but it had horns.
(gulp)
