Chapter 169 New Skill, New Talent

"Alright, then I'll send you inside. Meanwhile, I will fully focus on meditating for the next three days to make a connection with a Star of Endowment to get powerful," Arkhen said with a wild smile. "Let's teach that bitch an unforgettable lesson when she comes here."

"Mhm," Azela nodded with a severe expression.

Afterward, Arkhen sent Azela into the castle in Mystic Wonderland while he used 200 rainbow high-grade essence stones to refine his Primal pond 100 times, successfully reaching the limit of his Primal pond refinement as his EP increased to 200,000.

He then used the remaining 500 rainbow high-grade essence stones to refine his Mana pond 250 times. This didn't increase his EP anymore, but Mana pond's energy capacity increased by 250,000.

Before diving into deep meditation, Arkhen looked at his remaining loot. First, he learned the SSS-rank skill: Roaring Tiger Cannon.

[Roaring Tiger Cannon]

[-Affinity: Ki]

[-Class: 1st class]

[-Rank: SSS]

[-Cost: 125,000 Chi energy]

[-Mastery: Novice]

[-Effect: From your palms, in any style, conjures a devastating avatar of roaring tiger that releases a powerful burst of destructive cannon from its roaring mouth to deal pure raging damage of chi energy].

'My first SSS-rank of 1st class… Hahaha, it indeed sounds powerful!' Arkhen grinned.

[It is. Its power is just a bit below Slaughter Blades, but unlike in the sharp form of slaughter blades, this skill deals with wide cannon-like burst damage. You will get a pleasant surprise after mastering this skill to Perfect-mastery].

'Nice… I kinda want to combine this skill with Slaughter Blade in some way. But I'll think about that later. For now, I'll focus on completing the main quest. After completing the main quest, I will complete my Exo-Blood Gear Combat Art.'

*knock… knock… knock…*

"Come in," Arkhen said since the door to his room was open.

*clak…*

"So it was open, hehe."

Arkhen heard Meya's voice and smiled.

"You must have had fun last night watching the show, right?" Arkhen said with a laugh as he saw Meya entering the balcony garden.

Meya hopped in front of Arkhen and sat down on his lap before saying with a grin, "Thank you, thank you. I indeed had fun watching the show."

Arkhen sat cross-legged, so when Meya sat on his lap, directly at the center, her butt touched his crotch.

However, Arkhen grabbed her waist and put her on the ground beside him before saying, "I got no time to accompany you. I need to make a connection with a Star of Endowment and awaken my soul in three days."

Meya pouted and stood up before sitting on the bench, "Fine. I have nothing to do except for training as well, so I'll just stay here. Also, Yeezy and Jeizy boarded the ship fifteen minutes ago and left for Pentarix Continent. Hehe, sister Yeezy wanted to meet you but then decided against it and left."

"It's better for her that she didn't produce deep feelings regarding what happened, just as we agreed," Arkhen said with a nod.

"Maybe. Anyway, where are wives? I haven't seen them since yesterday," Meya said curiously.

"They are busy," Arkhen said as he rolled his eyes. "Now stop talking and start meditating or leave."

"Ok, ok. But one last thing. Brother told me that your Ice affinity pill will be ready after two days," Meya said before she sat down beside Arkhen. "Now we can meditate."

Arkhen put the Perfect-grade Earth gemstone and Combat Art scroll inside his inventory while picking up the Talent Awakening Scripture, which was like a stone tablet with eccentric symbols and patterns on it.

[Talent Awakening Scripture]

-Infuse soul energy in it to make a connection with it and awaken a random talent.

"Hehe, you can't use that now, but I can help you use it."

"How?" Arkhen asked as he turned to Meya.

Meya stood up and went behind Arkhen before wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him from behind. She had worn a long princess frock dress. Only a slight of her cleavage was visible, but her shoulders were bare as it was that type of white dress with blue embroidery patterns.

? After hugging Arkhen, and pressing her tender boobs against his bare back, as the whole upper body of Arkhen was naked, Meya said, "I will infuse my soul energy in you. You will be able to feel it, so guide it through your body into that stone tablet."

"But I doubt pressing your boobs against my back and hugging me is necessary for that," Arkhen said with a speechless expression.

"Hehe, it is," Meya said as she moved her chest and licked Arkhen's ears. "Take the soul energy."

Soon, Arkhen felt mysterious energy entering his body. It was unlike anything he felt before as it felt ethereal and mystical. Guiding this soul energy, Arkhen led it to the stone tablet in his hand.

The stone tablet shined before Arkhen felt a burst of power entering his being, accompanied by a headache.

[Congratulations. You have awakened an S-grade talent: Rabbit's Foot]

[Rabbit's Foot]

[-Talent: The dexterity of your legs increases drastically, making you very athletic and flexible. Additionally, the strength of your legs is permanently increased by 20% of total Strength stat.]

"Nice," Arkhen said with a nod as he visibly felt his legs' strength increasing and some kind of innate talent carved in his existence regarding his dexterity. It was like such an ability was planted in his genes.

"Alright, brat. Stop rubbing your chest and sit down," Arkhen said before he closed his eyes in meditation and ignored Meya.

"Pu, Pu! You can only truly meditate if you can focus despite all the distractions, hehe. Let's see If you can do that," Meya said before she walked in front of Arkhen, sat down, and looked at him with a smile on her face.

A second later, she stretched her hand forward and pressed her finger on Arkhen's cheeks.

However, Arkhen didn't reply and completely ignored her as he was focused and started meditating to sense the firmament to make the connection with a Star of Endowment.

…

"Her presence once again disappeared… What is going on?" Wateina muttered with a frown. She sat on a chair inside a small room. There was a window to her left and the scenery was moving fast through it, indicating that she was traveling in a ship.

"Although her presence only briefly appeared, it was in the same location as yesterday. Hmmm, so she is staying in the same area. However, how come her presence is disappearing?" Wateina frowned in confusion. But then she didn't waste time thinking about it. There were places that could block her from presence sensing through her blessing, so it was not strange.

Shaking her head, she opened a news crystal that produced a hologram, showing various big happening in Astoria land with a smile on her face. She didn't mind if things got more interesting and entertaining for her. After all, she was going to play with her prey before devouring her.
