When aran woke up the next day, he had decided that he will join the Phoenix magical academy. But he knew, everyone who will participate in the entrance exam of the academy will be stronger than him, so he had to get stronger.
Since he had just awakened his attributes he knew that it will take him a long time before getting used to them so he started to wonder how he will get stronger in less than two months. Suddenly he remembered his soul cultivation.
Since aran had the soul cultivation of the first tier of the profound stage, he thought that he might be able to learn a powerful soul technique.
Although there are only a total of twenty soul techniques that existed in the whole world, he thought that he might be able to learn any of them from his book. So he summoned the book and looked for a strong soul technique.
Out of all the soul techniques that appeared in the book he selected a technique called the soul suppression technique and decided to master it.
With the soul suppression technique, the user is capable of restraining the movements of the opponents by suppressing their souls. But this technique only works against enemies who have weaker soul cultivation than the user.
If an opponent's soul is two whole major stages weaker than the user, then the user can completely suppress the opponent's soul and even kill the opponent no matter how physically strong he is.
There is also a downside to this technique. After using this technique, the user's soul will get temporarily weakened for a whole day.
Since aran had stronger soul cultivation than most of the cultivators of his stage, it was the best technique for him.
After selecting that technique, Aran looked for some basic details about the attributes he had awakened and learned all of them.
After that, he went to meet his mother to ask for permission to enter the private seclusion room for his training. Because he knew its easier in that room to summon the Mana but he wasn't allowed to enter that room before his breakthrough.
When Aran went to meet his mother, she was also looking for him to talk about something.
" Ohh, you are here. I was looking for you everywhere. So listen, I am thinking about holding a social gathering party, to celebrate your breakthrough! What are your thoughts on that? " Ellania asked as she saw aran.
" Thank you, mother. I know, you are doing this out of concern but I think it will be better if people don't know about this. Trust me mother, I will soon prove myself and everyone will know about my breakthrough without even announcing it!" Aran replied since he didn't want to announce his breakthrough.
Although Ellania wanted to tell everyone about her son's breakthrough, so that people treat him better at least after knowing that, she was still happy about his decision.
" You have grown so much, and I am genuinely proud of you. I am sure that one day you will get the reputation you deserve and you will make the Wilford family proud. "
Aran was pleased to hear that but suddenly he remember the reason why he went to meet his mother.
" Actually mother, I need your help. I want to enter the seclusion room!"
" This early? Don't you want to take some rest? "
Since aran had just broken through and come back home, she thought it might be better if he takes a little rest.
" No mother! I have taken enough rest for years. I am thinking about participating in the entrance examination of the Phoenix magical academy and I need to get stronger!"
Ellania was shocked to hear that because she knew that only the strongest people can enter the Pheonix academy since she was one of the former students there. Ellania knew that Aran isn't strong enough for that, so she started to worry if her son is going to be disappointed if he can't enter the academy.
" This year? Are you sure about that? I heard that two of your cousins are also participating in the examination. Why don't you try next time? " She asked because she didn't want her son to get embarrassed in front of everyone.
" I can understand your concern mother, but I will be sixteen years old in less than three months. Everyone in my family has already broken through to the profound stage, I don't want to stay behind, and I don't want to waste any time. So I need to do this. Can I get the keys to the seclusion room? "
Although she didn't want him to participate, she also didn't want to tell his son that he isn't strong enough and make him feel bad. So she just chose to let him do whatever he is interested in and called a servant and told her to give him some low-ranked cultivation blasting pills with the keys to the seclusion room.

After thanking his mother, Aran followed the servant and got the keys and the pills and entered the seclusion room.
As he entered the seclusion room, he used the temporary unsealing technique to unseal his cultivation and started his training.
At first, Aran learned to precisely use his demonic mana, and then he learned the basic control of his attribute. He tried to slowly use the wind attribute to push himself and he also learned to use the thunder attribute to increase his basic speed but at his stage, he knew that he can't learn any more of the elemental techniques.
While aran was in seclusion, he wanted to develop a method to attack with a strong impact, so he leaned to precisely use both of his mana to create a reaction and used the explosive energy as an attack.
After training for a month, aran completely mastered the basic control of his attributes and he also mastered the soul suppression technique.
After that aran stopped his temporary unsealing and got out of the room.
When aran got out, After using the cultivation blasting pills and training for a month he had broken through to the fifth tier of the intermediate stage in heavenly cultivation and the fifth tier of the beginning stage in demonic cultivation.
After coming out, aran took some rest for a week since he was exhausted from the training. A week later, he met his mother and asked for a Thunder horse.
Thunder horse is a breed of mutated black-coloured horse which is normally used for travelling. It isn't mutated enough to turn into a beast but it still can absorb the natural mana. Normally a thunder horse has three ranks such as low, mid, and high.
Since Ellania also thought aran is ready for having his own family horse, she told him to wait and went into the family treasure room and brought two storage rings and gave them to aran.
Both of them had the family symbol of the House Wilford on them.
One of them was a normal storage ring for storing usual things and the other one was a living storage ring to store living beings. After giving the rings to aran, Ellania told him to go to the stable and choose a horse for himself.
After that, aran went to the stable and chose a mid-tier horse and trained with it for a while to get familiarised with it. Soon he stored the horse in his living storage ring and went back to his room and started to make preparations for the journey.
After three days, Aran said goodbye to his mother and left his home on his horse towards the Pheonix academy.
