23 New Abilities

When one reaches earth stage, Qi in their dantian concentrate and liquifies to accommodate a much larger amount.

Lloyd sent his will in his dantian. He could see purple liquid filling 10% of his dantian.

As one advances every minor stage of earth stage, liquid qi increase by 10%. At peak earth stage, dantian will be filled by liquified qi.

Lloyd slowly opened his eyes. He extended his right hand and started to accumulate qi. Now that he cultivated new and improved Phoenix art, he could control and use both ice and fire at the same time.

Crimson qi and blue qi appeared in his hand. It swirled in the shape of the yin-yang symbol. At his thought, both combined and purple qi appeared. The purple qi brought huge pressure with it and he could feel its destructive power.

He released it to the table nearby. As the purple qi touched it, it started to disintegrate even faster than normal eyes could process. Lloyd hurriedly pulled back the qi, but the table disappeared as it never exists previously.

Feeling the power, Lloyd was thrilled and afraid. He got superpower ability which increases his battle power.

But if he lost control of this power, who knows what destruction it may cause. Last time, he killed the demon wolf king, who was far stronger than him with this same ability but it was far weaker than this time. At that time, he could see the effect caused by it but today its destruction was faster than he could see.

He could feel that the qi is consumed faster when using purple qi. it cost 3 times more qi than normal. if he used continuously, he may empty his qi faster. if he used it correctly, it may save his life.

After testing about his control of purple qi, he attention focused on the new bloodline skill.

'system, what's summon spirit skill' Lloyd asked.

Unlike martial skills like sword art or shadow steps, bloodline skills are inherited. He can't teach other even he wants to.

Bloodline skills are like one's arms and legs, they could learn to use them without knowing.

While martial is like learning to drive a car, he must practice, again and again, to use it perfectly.

Summon spirits

Phoenix is a divine bird. It is closer to nature than any other being. It usually rests on the world tree.

Summon spirit is an ability to call upon elemental spirits. The aid the Phoenix in its battles and other things.

----------------------------------------

As he saw the details about summoning spirit skills, he understood about it and tried to communicate with spirits.

He felt a presence in front of him, he looked and found balls of lights floating before him. He could feel their intimacy towards him as he was one of them.

He tried to touch them. As he touched them he felt his conscious flew in them.

Lloyd's viewpoint changed and he saw him sitting on the bed. As he further investigated, he found out that he can transfer his conscious between spirits. He can return to his body anytime he wanted.

He tried to move using the spirits and flew out of the room, he could pass through solid surfaces and nobody saw him flew by them.

Normally dust is present in air, we know it but wouldn't notice it.

He was like dust but different. He flew through rooms to find his limitations.

As he flew, he reached a room, where a woman was undressing and going for a bath.

'she didn't see me. Maybe with this ability, I could become peeping master' Lloyd thought and followed her to the bathroom.

'I am just testing my new ability, I am not doing anything wrong' he said to himself.

After a while, he left the room and preceded downstairs to the lobby.

'that lady was intense, she had amazing were jugs' he thought.

As he reached the lobby, he was Dixon with other men surrounding him. From what he knows he was his father's best friend and Derek's future father-in-law.

"have you found them," Dixon asked in anger.

"No" the men answered.

"somebody kidnapped my daughter and my son-in-law in the capital city and you are saying that you guys didn't find anything" Dixon's anger reached the maximum and shouted.

"master, should we inform phoenix clan about this" one the men asked Dixon.

Hearing that his brother was kidnapped, Lloyd's face changed.

He quickly returned to his body and rushed to the lobby.

"What do you mean by Derek being kidnapped," Lloyd asked Dixon as he entered.

Dixon could feel anger in Lloyd's voice. He gave a letter to Lloyd and said, "yesterday night, Kalea didn't come home. I got worried and was heading out to search. Then at the door, I found this letter"

Lloyd opened the letter and read it

'Dixon,

Your daughter and her boyfriend are in our hands. If you want to see them alive then sent that item to us by tomorrow evening. Otherwise, you will never see them again.

Our people will contact you for exchange'

Reading the letter, Lloyd anger reached the peak. When he first found that his brother was missing last night, he thought maybe Derek was getting busy with Kalea.
