Chereads / Adventure of the Prodigy / Chapter 6 - Potential

Chapter 6 - Potential

"Hm?" Harrison, with a confused look, notices his insane memorization time. "How did you do it so fast? I was expecting you to take at least 10 more minutes."

Lucas hearing this says, "Well, just as you said, if I make the slightest mistake in remembering it, then it would have an issue of summoning. So the only metric we should be going off of is if I can successfully summon it."

Harrison quickly responds, "True, we must test if you are truly capable of using this spell. Then we can congratulate you on your abilities. Go on, give it a shot! Show me your true potential!"

With that, after less than 10 seconds, a small fire projectile launched out of his hand. "Wow! That was so cool!"

Then, something on his tablet flashed:

[Learned Spell!]

[Fire Bullet]

[Type = Fire]

[Rank: F-]

[Spell Tier: 1]

"What's this on my tablet? It says I learned new spell 'fire bullet.' Is that what that spell was?" Lucas asked.

"I'm sorry, but how can you be so calm? Not only was that your first spell, but you also remembered it in 2 minutes! And how could you have summoned it so fast? Just under 10 seconds to think of it. Unbelievable. Kid, you truly have potential to be a great master of magic and qi. Would you like to be my apprentice?" Harrison spurted out many things which took Lucas a moment to understand. Then, realizing he can be a peak Golden Spirit's apprentice, he happily agreed.

"Well then, even with your achievements, we're far from done." Harrison reminded Lucas of his talent, but also humbling him as all he did was summon a tier 1 spell. Not impressive by any means. "Here, take this spell."

Lucas silently focused on the circular patterns, seemingly popping out of the page. Even though the pattern was much more complex this time, after only 1 minute, he is ready. "Go ahead, try it." Harrison commanded him. Almost instantly, a wall of blazing fire burst from the ground, if it weren't for the protection formation around them, the room, and maybe even a side of the building would have been scorched. It was about 2 meters tall and 3 meters wide. The fire wasn't as hot as normal fire, but it could be improved by just simply using it often.

[Spell Tier: 1]

"I am impressed by your quick learning, and even that is an understatement. I can't stress how fast you've learned. If I had your skill back then, I might even be halfway through imperial spirit realm by now." Harrison once again praised Lucas for his powers. Lucas thought of the scale of powers, it went from Elementary, to Nascent, to True, to Golden, to Imperial, and much, much more. But to put it simply, Golden Spirit cultivators are already heavily respected as experts in the field of magic and qi. So being imperial spirit, much less 5th Level, is a testament to his incredible potential.

As the day was wrapping up, he noticed his aura feeling stronger, perhaps... he was on a verge of a breakthrough! "Uhm, Harrison? I think I'm about to breakthrough to True Spirit Realm!" Without a second later, Harrison says "Quickly! Get into lotus position and get through. I'll block this room off as to ensure you wont lose your chance." "Thank you!" Lucas says, getting into position and taking a deep breath. With a few seconds later, a bright light encapsules the room they're in. Lucas has now reached True Spirit Realm.
