Elder was acting like a 10-year-old kid, excitement and curiosity evident in his eyes.
"I am still not sure but according to me he can also cultivate Qi" Aiden said.
"No way, no one eve.." Aiden signaled him to talk in a low voice.
"No way, no one ever achieved this thing, it's impossible to cultivate without meridians and dantian" elder said almost whispering.
"Yeah I know, but I personally felt it and that's why I dropped the idea to guide him. If I had guided him then he would be in the spotlight. And you know how those people react.
If he had just been selected by 'soul judgement sword' then we could manage it but with this heavenly talent, they won't let him live. so I decided to let him forge his own path." Aiden explained.
"If what you are saying is right then I can only pray for his survival, what about you, when will you become inner branch elder? I think, now you have a reason too" Elder said while giving a bump to Aiden.
"You are such a sly fox".
.....
Harry stopped his cultivation after breaking through to level 5.
He was discussing about battle techniques with Gracie.
When he read through all the information he realised how cunning the elder was.
He gave them 4 techniques. all of them useful in different fields.
For example, soul pulse is a direct attack type technique, with its help he can use a burst of soul energy outward, pushing back enemies and dispelling harmful spiritual effects.
It can be compared with water cannons, just here is soul energy instead of water.
It's an Excellent technique against the crowd, it won't only physically harm them but also make the crowd lose their decision-making skill for some time.
Another technique was Soul barrier, an enhanced version of mind barrier or any barrier technique. With its help, the user can protect himself and his team from high-level physical, soul or psychic attacks.
It's highly effective in group battles where the user can protect his allies. The strength of soul barrier depends on cultivaters soul energy.
The last technique is named soul drain. This technique impressed Harry the most.
Using it he can drain energy from the opponent and replenish himself. It can be very useful in long fights where a person lacks stamina most of the time.
This can also be used on allies but there is always a risk.
He remembered the soul eater technique but the difference was that he could increase his soul cultivation permanently but soul drain could only replenish it.
Harry and Gracie were discussing and trying to mimic steps as mentioned in the techniques.
For Harry, the Most attractive thing about this girl was her humble behaviour. He has seen many beauties but despite knowing that Harry has low cultivation she is genuinely sharing her insight and helping him.
Not only giving insight but also trying to learn from Harry.
He can see her future because this girl has hunger to learn, hunger to grow stronger.
"Despite having such high cultivation why are you still on low rank, if I can guess you have the power to get into the top 100" Harry said pointing to her badge where 2800 was written.
"You think too highly of me, although I can get into thousands but getting in 100 is different because they are good at using their element. Also, they have diverse battle techniques that can make us speechless".
She said trying to make a stable soul barrier.
Harry was also struggling to fire a soul pulse and said "Then why not in thousands".
Harry's vague soul pulse hit Gracie's broken barrier and both of them vanished.
"Ahh... I wanted to learn basics such as using soul energy out of the body, learning movement techniques, I only have some hereditary techniques to me" She said while gasping.
"So, you are like a young mistress, Don't tell me your brothers will come and beat me" Harry chuckled.
"I was, but now I am just a defenceless girl," she said while smiling.
Harry could feel the pain behind this smile, he was curious about what happened to her but he didn't feel it was the right thing and the right time to ask.
With that, they continued practising.
After that, they started practising their basic combat skill.
Harry was feeling frustrated because he couldn't even connect a single hit on her. It was not because of difference in their cultivation base but it felt more like she was reacting to Harry's movements.
"Why can't I hit her, is it some sort of technique? It is not like she is influencing me to make those movements nor she dominating.
it feels like she is just using loopholes. Every time I change my fighting style she also changes her style and uses new loopholes." Harry was getting more frustrated by the time.
Suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
"I am not fighting to defeat her maybe I can just try to learn it" With this thought he felt easiness in his heart now he doesn't have the pressure of losing.
He started changing his movements in the way that she can't use any previous loopholes.
But doing it he made new loopholes and she started using them instead.
"He already caught the technique, he is trying to hide his loopholes but unconsciously making new" Gracie thought.
Now they were not using weapons anymore just jumping and running. If one would see them he would think of two monkeys jumping around.
With the time Harry was trying different things but nothing was working somehow she was able to grasp his movements.
"Ahhh.. enough, we will continue it tomorrow"Harry exclaimed falling on the floor because of exhaustion. It was not a physical exhaustion but a mental one.
Gracie still standing said.
"You know it's one of the hereditary techniques of my family. There are not many people who know how to counter it, so don't take it to your heart."
"Ohhh then I will make you add my name into this list" Harry chuckled.
"Can we continue it tomorrow".
"Sure,I also don't have many friends if you can help me to train these techniques then why not." Gracie shook Harry's hand as if making a deal.
Now sitting calmly on the floor they realise it's not a training room it's a room where someone lives.
Harry going out of the room asked Aren't you coming".
