The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 69: Mastering New spells

[ Congratulations! You have received a Combusting Burst Steps Spell Manual ]

" It's a movement spell. " Athan's eyes lit up as he directly used the manual which sent all information relating to it inside his head and then closed his eyes as he went through it.

After a few minutes, He opened his eyes as he felt excitement bubbling through him because the spell is quite good and just what he needed.

" Tiana, I'll go practice this spell first, It won't take much longer time. At least 1 day and at most 2 days. "

Smiling, Tiana said, " We both got spells this time and that movement spells sounds good. Alright, I'll do some other things while you practice the spell. "

" Yep. " Athan nodded with a grin and entered the Spell Testing Hall.

After arriving there, He stood there with his eyes closed and started practicing the Combusting Burst Steps.

Fire and Air energy turned into Active formed going towards his legs as they started moving in complex pathways from his thighs and then to his feet.

' I'll do it slowly first and get familiar with the paths. '

The energy slowly moved towards his feet and just as it reached after traveling in a complex pattern, two small fire burst released under his feet which made him jump.

If someone saw him succeeding on the first try and this fast, Their jaws would literally drop to the ground.

As mentioned previously, It's actually hard to flow the energy inside the body but Athan could freely move Active energies inside his body in various complex pathways without feeling difficulties like others would.

After practicing slowly a few more times, He was familiar with the pathways and started to operate the Active Energy at a standard speed of the beginner stage.

Consuming Fire and Air energy from his Energy sea, Athan turned them into Active form before he moved the pathways inside his legs and then traveled to his feet.

*Sthooom*

Two fire bursts released under Athan's feet as he was shot upward.

In the sky, Athan used < Lightning Arial Wings> and started flying in the room, Occasionally He would release a burst from his feet by directing his feet in different directions.

For instance, If he was flying straight then he could move his left leg a bit in the left direction before released a burst which can change his flying direction instantly.

" This is awesome. While flying with wings, I can use this spell to dodge and dash instantly in any direction due to bursts releasing from my feet. But for that, I will have to master the beginner stage at least. Because for now, it's still taking me some time to prepare the burst. "

He then started to practice with this flowing spell so that it is usable during combat.

After a day, He could finally use the Combusting Burst steps freely and fast.

If Lonzo saw him mastering this spell in just one day, He would blame the world as to why the comparison between men exists.

After mastering the beginner stage, Athan thought, ' Might as well try the advanced stage too. If I could master the Advanced stage of the Broken Impact Flowing method, Then I can also master the Advanced stage of Combusting Burst Steps. '

He then started to look through the Advanced stage of information.

After looking through it, He thought, ' So the burst will increase and I will also have to increase the flowing speed a lot, The most difficult stage according to the information would be the control of Air and Fire energy in the pathways with a complex pattern but I seem to have no problem in that area...'

Putting aside his other thoughts, Athan started to practice the Advanced stage of Combusting Burst steps.

Meanwhile, Tiana just returned from fighting another match in Combat Arena but she didn't stay much longer there and entered the Spell Testing Hall.

After entering, She thought, ' I have currently mastered the beginner stage of my flowing method and beginner stage of Exploding Serpent spell, But its not enough...I can't even study the defensive spell of my Flowing Method Boa and another attack Spell Winged Serpent because I need to reach Advanced Stage for that and the support spell serpent robe is useless for now as it's just an outline. '

" Sigh..." a sigh escaped from her mouth because she had hit a wall.

She then took a look at her points, " Hmmm I have 50 points currently....Let's see if there are any good defensive spells that I can use with my current ability. "

She then started looking in Point Shop...

After a while, She found a defensive spell that required both Lightning and Fire element.

[ Outburst Nodes ]

Looking at its description, Tiana's eyes started shining because it was a good spell that added offensive into the defensive aspect.

Basically, the Outburst Wall nodes spell first create a barrier made up of nodes inside it that contains explosive Lightning and Fire energy. In her case, It's Lightning Inferno Energy.

When an attack hits the barrier, The nodes will be triggered due to contact and explode which releases Lightning Inferno Energy of Tiana that can then also negate the incoming offensive attack.

" Fortunately the spell is less complex than my Flowing Method's spells, It could be due to its straightforward setup of exploding nodes and I also have comprehended Intermediate Level of Lightning Inferno Intent which will also somewhat make it less difficult for me but the price....."

-Price: 65 Points.

Tiana contemplated for a moment and decided to sell the Quadic Frost Dome.

But after she chose the sell option, She received two notifications instead of the usual one.

[ Receivable Points: 20 ]

[ You may learn the spell before selling them but whether you learn it or not, The Receivable points will be reduced by 80% of its original price no matter which kind of manuals you sell. ]

" Oh...Then I better add information about this spell in my mind before selling it. " After being surprised for a second, Tiana pressed on Use and the information about the Quadic Frost Dome was sent into her brain.

After she was done, She sold the Spell Manual and directly received 20 points.

' But I can't believe that the Quadic Frost Dome spell's original price was 100 points, It should be a powerful spell as it required one to at least have Intermediate Ice Intent before starting to practice it, While the Outburst Nodes Spell requires Elementry Intents to start practicing it. ' Tiana thought and decided to take a look at Quadic Frost Dome later.

But first, She bought Outburst Nodes and started to practice them.

...

...

Athan had finally mastered the Advanced stage of Combusting Burst Steps.

' But seriously, It was a bit harder than I thought, Didn't think it would take me 3 days to master the advanced stage. '

Three days passed since he mastered the Beginner stage of Combusting Burst Steps, So a total of 4 days passed since he arrived in the Spell Testing Tall.

He then conjured <Lightning Arial Wings> and flew upward before releasing Burst's steps.

The bursting power was higher than before and more explosive but it also made it harder for him to use it in battle without practicing.

" Looks like I'll have to spend around a half-day to get used to this type of movement tricks...."

...

Meanwhile, Tiana had finally mastered the beginner stage of Outburst Nodes.

Right now, her Active Lightning Inferno Energy was running according to her Flowing Method inside her body.

But The flow changed after a second and A barrier that had small round nodes everywhere on it materialized around her.

After doing this, She muttered, " So that's why we should first master the method or spell before using them in combat. Now that I have mastered the beginner stage of Outburst Nodes, My control over their execution has reached impeccable in the Beginner stage so I can execute them without conflicting as long as two different spells share the same type of energy. "

Her Active Energy Flow once again started as she stretched her hand before a serpent conjured.

" So as long as I master different spells that use the same Active Lightning Inferno Energy, It won't clash with my Flowing method's spells because they both use Active Lightning Inferno Energy. "

' Athan should be long done with his practice. ' Thinking of this, She also left the Spell Testing Hall as she was done with her training.

...

Athan was also finished getting used to the bursting steps and left the Spell Training hall as both of them arrived at the Grassy Plains at the same time.

Both of them were surprised at the coincidence and after talking to each other about their training, Tiana said, " Bytheway Athan, You can sell the spell manuals after using them, But the price will be reduced by 80% of the original. "

" Hmmm...If that's the case then I will also sell them, Broken Impact Method is 100 points so I'll get 20 points for it, As for Combusting Burst steps...Let's see. " Saying this, He first sold Broken Impact Flowing Method before selling the Combusting Burst steps.

[ Receivable Price: 20 points. ]

...

Athan also sold it tho a bit surprised that both manual's prices were 100 points.

" It's time to do Howling Pits now. " saying this, Athan started the dungeon.
