The 'Ice Devil', that's what Yun Lan was known in her younger years, she was born with an Earth Core Realm talent, along with an ice affinity, at a young age itself she had a great interest in business as her family too dabbled in them but her second love was cultivation and fighting
While her talents were great, her powers in combat and Qi understanding were far more formidable, she was a combat genius and a battle junkie, her understanding of her affinity and her comprehension of her own Qi was amazing, moreover, she was cold and powerful
Back in her younger days, she was a force to be reckoned with, as she went around challenging many and fighting and killing brutally those that stopped her way, due to her natural affinity to ice she always kept a poker face it was only with her family will she ever show her true face, Xiao was sure that if his mother was born in an upper world she would definitely become someone great
But sadly her talents limitation is Earth Core Realm and if she had to increase it, the work she had to do will be immense, even using treasure on her too will be hard, because a huge amount of heavenly treasures must be used to increase her talent and it will be wasted on her but Xiao doesn't care, he will make sure that his mother's wishes are fulfilled in this life
"So fire related cultivation manual.....huh?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"That's right"
Xiao nodded his head to his mothers question, he could see some disappointment in her for him not inheriting her ice affinity, if so it would have being easy for his mother to teach him but sadly the one to inherit the was Xuanyin, who could not cultivate, well it could not be helped life was always filled with twists and turns
"If I remember correctly there might be some good cultivation techniques for you"
Yun Lan spoke and Xiao raised his head in 'surprise' and listened to his mother 'intently', well it could not be helped as he knew which type of cultivation technique he wants to cultivate, the book Heavenly Opposers he read was fairly well detailed that explained about several cultivation techniques and moves in depth
In fact there was explanation's for many hidden and powerful technique's that were part of several powerful factions, of example the one he had used, the technique from the Zerkian family and Xiao was well aware that if any other faction got wind of this he would be hunted badly, that's why he had to be careful on the one he cultivates
After all what if he in the future met a person from the faction whose cultivation technique he was using even though he was not a part of their faction?, yeah well that could get dangerous very soon, in normal cases no person would be able to remember all of what they read clearly but that was not a problem for Xiao
Xiao when he was in Ingrid was found to had five skills, which was an extremely phenomenal achievement but sadly all of them were not suited for combat, them being [Connection], [Forgotten], [Mind Split] and his fourth skill [Record And Analyze]
It was this skill that allowed him to remember everything he read and analyze them as he wished, it was also this power that had led him to create the most powerful Mercenary group in the world, leaving aside his past, he had already arranged his mind on the cultivation manual he wanted to practice, from what he remembers it was found in an old Phoenix shrine legacy of the Shrine of Fire
The main hero of the story had found it and had used it as some sort of bargain but in the end a battle broke out and the technique was destroyed, thankfully the book Heavenly Opposers had clearly explained the readings found on the book in great detail
And it being related to fire, was making it a huge plus, it was one of the few things that was very well detailed, a flame technique that might be useful to him, seemingly was 'explained' well and 'luckily' he had the power to remember it completely and even more 'luckily', he was born back with the chance to use the said technique?
Yeah, that's bullshit!, Xiao's not dumb enough not to recognize that he was being pulled into a very dangerous scheme, his actions to almost seemed to be moving in the invisible lines of fate, his every move seemed to match the desire of entity and right now he was playing in it's hands
And truthfully he couldn't do anything, well who was he to complain?, he got a second chance and a great future to grow into something powerful, he would definitely climb to the top, so what if he was moving at someone's laid out path?, according to him, he was doing what he wanted to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was not like anyone was forcing him, plus if he ever got the strength this entity wanted him to, he might lend it a hand if it's something easy but if it cost a great price from him then he would refuse it, so what if he might have to fight to the death?, he would do it and even if he failed he was not afraid of death
"So do you understand?'"
"Yes mother"
Xiao nodded his head to his mother, even though he had no idea what she had said till now, seeing the understanding look in her child's eyes, Yun Lan nodded her head in relief, alas she had no idea that her son had no heard a word she had said and he had exactly the plan of doing the complete opposite of all she had said
"Good, then you can head to the cultivation treasury room and pick up the one you like and remember what I said, don't chew more than you can handle"
"I know, mother"
Xiao nodded his head, he was quite lucky that they don't check for you affinities in the open, well it was because that it was not much, no one would gain anything from lying about their affinities, plus anybody could use any other affinity from 10 times the hard work but the outcome of you surviving is different
For example, one could get lighting affinity by staying in a place of dense lightning element, but the outcome of you coming out not scorched and dead was very small, the same went with the death element but none had every being able to use that element without being born without it
So there was no reason to lie about your element as you would only be screwing yourself up
