Quoted By:
You elected to approach the girls as a concerned and gentle senior.
"I know you two have talents and potential. I also know the world likes to throw both under the horse because of luck. So I am going to give you a chance to prove that luck isn't going to get you. Take the liquid, Practice hard.
- <span class="mu-g">But... How? What are we supposed to do?</span>
- The threads are fragile. Tug them too hard and they will snap. Too slowly and they will unravel. Firm, steady, controlled is the best way. You have to find your aperture opening.
Use the astral beast-souls that you should have developped to help you. If you grow strong enough quickly enough... After all, Transplanhumance is soon.
- <span class="mu-i">Wait, what's Transplanhumance?</span>"
You smirk. It's good to be the trickster instead of the bamboozled.
You don't pay much attention to the young monks, and focus on your foundation.
You still can't find any form of insight for the secret technique you know is hidden in the Golden Snake body tempering technique. A shame. Maybe a bit of cross-training at the Golden Skystone Village wastes would help you?
Your practice of the Poisonner's Ultimate Sefltrial went well. Your Spiritual Resistance increase again - in two more good training session, you should bring it to your current limit.
The channel seems to be prone to an early second-stage bottleneck but you're confident as you feel bottleneck of element in your Growth Technique shouldn't be much of a concern.
Your energy stockpile keeps improving, reaching almost nine-tenth. Is your first minor realm breakthrough just around the corner?
Your Meteor-Hammer practice went extremely smoothly once again. Working on that tailor-made skill feel amazing - and, most importantly, at the limit of your ability.
Granted, you lack trumps. However, to your squad mates, the weapon style you practice in secrecy (and not in the courtyard where your close friends work on their foundation) coupled with your treasured weapon that they don't really know of either, disguised as some kind of ornamental jewel that can suddenly expand into the 5-meter-chainlength weapon is a trump by itself.
You'd have to think a bit of your <span class="mu-s">Dueling Strategy</span> for the upcoming tournament. This can wait, you have some time.
Better to focus on <span class="mu-s">sect duties</span> for now.
First, you ask Snake Mistress if she requires hands at the infirmary.
"<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">I have no need right now. Keep some of that energy for after Transplanhumance - you kids always find the most surprising way to wreck yourself despite our advice.</span></span>"
