Animals looked at each other and then at their companions. Crow jumped to the woman and shook her head. ''I don't want to compete. I just need to cultivate a bit and I'll anyway evolve. I don't wanna.''
Guildmaster Fintan saw the woman smiling and nodding. He smiled as he heard her words. ''Fine then. Let us watch others. I am not crazy enough to push you to fight if you don't want to. We can just go and cultivate a bit more, you are right. Come.''
She walked off the competition ground while the other four stayed. The dog looked after the crow and then glanced at his companion. ''I will stay. The special win this time is spirit fruit. We can split and both of us can make a breach.''
A muscular guy in simple clothes patted his head. ''You don't have to push yourself too much.''
''I know.'' The dog licked his face and made the whole crowd laugh heartily. The man poked his head and then left the ground. So did the rest of the companions as the rest of the animals wanted to fight. Including the rabbit.
Kendra stared at them with big eyes and so did Draga. ''How interesting. They are fighting for spirit fruit? Is spirit fruit that strong?''
Gloria explained. ''It is too strong for small cultivators like us. If we ate it we would be so filled with energy that we might even explode. You could see that you had to control the energy as you cultivated, right? If you ate that it would be horrible. Only those that hardened their bones, marrows and veins could use the spirit fruit. Those over the third boundary can use it without fear, but we, novices under the first boundary are quite weak. So that much energy would be devastating for us.''
''But they are still all crazy about it?" Kendra was surprised as she remembered the few spirit fruits she gained from the eagle.
Suddenly she remembered. The promise. "Taffy, let's go straight to the library right after this. I must learn from the scroll as soon as possible. I need to go back soon."
"You ate of ng back soon? When?" Bes suddenly felt sad. "I thought we could cultivate together."
Kendra nodded. "I will be back in three months. I have no plan to stay in the cave over the wintertime. When I even think about the coldness, I start feeling cold right away."
Rorry hit her head and started laughing. "Oh Kendra, we forgot to tell you."
Grace and Bes started laughing as well, making Kendra curious. "What is it?"
"Sorry about them, I guess no one told you. The caves are protected from outside temperatures and seasons. Even if there was a flood nearby, it wouldn't be able to enter as it has a protective shield and temperature regulator. That is the reason why some cultivators don't leave their cave for a couple of years." John Sima sighed as he looked at the chuckling girls.
"Oh" Kendra now understood. But then remembered something. "Uhm, if they are inside for such a long time... what do you do when you must..."
He blinked at her with questions written all over his face. "Must what?"
Bes realized what Kendra asked and started laughing again, but stopped as she heard people shushing her. "Sorry, sorry."
She coughed a bit and looked at Kendra. "There is a side room in the cave where you can take a bath. I guess you were cultivating in your entrance, you didn't even enter your rooms."
"Oh? There is more? No wonder." Kendra was already curious why there was absolutely nothing except that cultivation circle. Wait, if I tell them I cultivated there, will it seem ridiculous?
She calmed her face and seriously looked at Bes. "As I didn't know, I cultivated in the circle in the entrance."
Their moths went open and almost fell to the floor. "You cultivated in mid of the runes? How is that even possible?"
"Why? Isn't that cultivation circle?" She turned her head to Draga that chose to ignore her.
"No. Those runes are actually quite strong. If you could cultivate even a bit a mids of it, then your base is seriously strong. Runes are crazy things and jot many know how to use them. Look, only Guldmaster Fintan knows the use of few, but only a few of them. It is been said that the main Palace is surrounded by rune shields." Bes looked at Guildmaster Fintan with reverence.
John Sima added with a serious expression. "It is been said that anyone with harmful thoughts could be found inside the shield and secret guards kick them out or punish them. Bad people can not even enter the shield. The safest town in our world."
Kendra was curious. "That is interesting. I wouldn't mind visiting that place. Just to see it."
Bes hugged her. "When our power grows over the fifth boundary we are sent into the world to gather experience. It's been said only those that travel the world can strengthen the cultivation base and safely break through boundaries. But those that just cultivate, without using their powers and without strengthening their base become weak. The cultivation base is the most important thing. Cultivating you can always, but without a good base, you can harm the body or even soul."
"Thank you for telling me that. Now I know what I have to do. I heard we are getting potions..." But stopped asking as the fight on the competition ground became fiery as only the dog and snake were left to fight. In the end, the snake gave up and the dog gained the spirit fruit.
But the cultivator that just won did something that made everyone stand up on their feet...
