Chapter 34 - Affinity With The Five Natural Elements

Liam began his lesson : "Girls, I'll start by explaining the difference between Anaya's chakra and Celia's spiritual energy.

Anaya's energy is made up of chakra, this chakra circulates in her body through a network of meridians. If this network of meridians were damaged, Anaya could no longer use her chakra and became as weak as an ordinary human, her longevity would also disappear.

Celia raised her hand : "Liam are there any magic pills that can regenerate the meridians network ?"

Liam who had expected this question replied : "Of course there are magic pills that can do it, but the first magic pill effective in restoring the meridians network is a level nine magic pill called the renewal magic pill."

Liam continued : "However, don't worry too much Celia, there are only level twelve mages and fighters who can damage this network, as this network remains invisible no matter what level the one in front of you will have. Those at level twelve can damage it only because their attacks can create very destructive damage."

Anaya asked : "Right now I can feel it circulating inside me, slightly faster than when I was at level one, but I can't see what use it is for me ?"

Liam smiled : "I'll give you an example, take two stones on the ground and send me one."

Anaya did as he said she took one stone for herself and sent him another one.

Liam began the explanation : "Try with all your might to destroy the stone."

Anaya looked at him, not quite understanding where he was going with this : "I'm not ten years old anymore, I know very well that I can't break a stone with my hand, what do you mean by this ?"

Liam smiles and says : "Oh really ! Look then ! Liam barely clenched his fist and the stone was instantly reduced to powder.

Anaya and Celia were speechless, Celia reacted first : "That was brillant ! Liam have you concentrated your chakra in your hand ? In the same way that I have to condense spiritual energy to reduce to powder the magic herbs ?"

Liam replied : "Well done Celia ! It's exactly that ! Although, focusing the chakra in one part of the body can do a lot more than using spiritual energy.

Anaya to give you another example when you will manage to concentrate your chakra in your feet with a perfect balance, you will be able to walk on water, and stand vertically on a wall, it will be like there was glue under your feet .

When you will get your chakra concentrate in your fists, the blows you will give will be a hundred times stronger, of course you will learn to measure your amount of chakra, don't forget that the chakra is not an unlimited resource.

I think Celia could help you a lot with this part of energy control, your wife is definitely an expert on it."

Celia was very excited, after all Liam had just allowed her to spend more time with Anaya, she said : "Sweetie, i will always be there for you, if you have any questions please let me know, okay."

Anaya smiled at Celia, it made her an excuse to spend more time with her wife.

If Liam could read both of their mind he will be probably sighing helplessly.

Suddenly Anaya remembered something and asked Liam : "Liam you said Celia had to attend the class because from now on you will be doing classes that will be useful to both of us ? The chakra was definitely more for me, although the part about controling the energy can be considered the same for a mage and a fighter, the uses are still very different."

Liam smiled : "Indeed, this first part was more for you Naya, because Celia already has a perfect mastery of her spiritual energy. You in the contrary still have everything to learn about controling your chakra."

Anaya with a playfully tone : "Alright, alright, message well received boss !"

Liam laughed : "Well, we're going to start the common class which will be on the five natural elements, do you know them ?"

Celia replied : "Water, fire, earth, wind and lightning."

Liam with an approving look : "Right ! I'm going to give you a test, since you're both at level two now, we'll be able to find out which one natural elements you have affinity with."

Liam took out five identical stones with different colored runes on them and explained : "You are going to take each of the five stones in your hands, if the rune starts to glow that means you have an affinity with this element. Anaya you start."

Anaya took the rune that Liam held out to her and it glowed, he put it aside and gave her another that glowed too. After testing the five stones, Liam was shocked : "This is the first time I've seen someone compatible with the five natural elements, usually even level twelve fighters can only use three elements and that's already supposed to be a miracle. Ok let's continue, Celia it's your turn, we do the same thing."

Celia took the stones one by one and to Liam's surprise, she was also compatible with the five elements.

Liam sighed : "Girls, I'm not sure what to say except than I'm dumped. Unfortunately for you girls, I have affinity only with two elements, wind and water.

Normally each fighter or mage has a primary element which is more powerful than the secondary. But since you will be able to master all five elements, I don't know if this rule will apply to you.

We're still going to be sailing in uncharted waters, so I'll do my best to try to guide you, are you okay with that ?"

Both were downright excited, Celia told him with conviction : "Liam don't worry, you take care of us perfectly. I have a question though, in one of the chests behind the library it is written "Dual cultivation and Dual training" shall we go and have a look at it, if you are going to train us together i think that chest could be useful."

Liam didn't think too much, he was very excited to know what were inside those chests it was the perfect time to go and check them, he said : "Celia it's a great idea let's go now, may be there will be informations that i can use to train the both of you."

They all went behind the library and stopped in front of those chests, they were all very curious about those chests so they decided to check them all at once.

As Celia had suggested they open first the chest named "Dual cultivation and Dual training", inside they found plenty books.

Actually there were only books inside this chest, there was only one book related to Dual cultivation and it was about how sharing and mixing their energies and how to meditate while making love.

Celia was very eager to try the meditation part and when she said it out loud Anaya had tapped her behind her head, ya actually she could understand Anaya's action, as she must have seemed like a pervet after saying that out loud.

Then there were plenty of books on dual training, martial arts, shield for defense and attack, combination of natural elements, taming mystical creatures and magic beasts, control over chakra and spiritual energy.

Liam put them all inside his magic bag, he will study them first and after that he will do a training program.

Celia kept the dual cultivation book, not because she was a pervet but because she was really curious to know if there were some hidden technics for improving their sharing and mixing energies, it could only be benefacted in the future.

After this one, they opened the Inferno chest as well as the Elementary and Stellar one, they were all the same as the Eben one, inside all those chests they were a book that explained how this world were working and a map with the main informations in it. There were magic bags with the differents currency using in their respective world, and still four leather bracelets and four rings.

Liam was very impressed those books were very details and all this wealth could turn anyone crazy.

Finally they opened the last chest it was the "First aid kit", inside they found a red jade disc, two magic bags and four small black stones.
