Yarns are like threads, just like spiritual energy is directly connected with the qi core of a cultivator or mana pool of a sorcerer. However, a spiritual technique is not only linked with the core but also with the brain.
The brain uses its ability to create a technique out of stored spiritual energy in the core, the thing connecting both core and brain are invisible threads called yarns. In spells, those yarns create circles. However, in skills, those yarns knit together to perform the skill.
Every spiritual technique needs a specific number of yarns to be learnt, the number of yarns needed for Gossamer Steps is 106
Fenrir shook her head. "I can but I won't."
However, the monstrous wolf then extended his palm and pointed at Ezra Zephyr. "But you can."
The prince was utterly confused, evidently unable to understand what he meant by that.
Fenrir could not help but laugh at the sight of his lost appearance. "You truly like someone who does not realise he lives on a treasure mountain.
After 5 years of that cruel technique in the cave, you didn't only improve your physical power but also your mental capacity is increased a lot. Those pills and different fruits were not just belly filler, but actual treasures, you are beyond the likes of even Carlo Aur.
Not to mention, you just unsealed your 1st seal on the bloodline of the Dracul Wolf Family. You have the ability to see the vulnerabilities or weak points in any spiritual techniques if you pay attention.
Not only the enemy's but also your own, remember the time you made Chaos Chains another spell."
Ezra Zephyr's eyes grew brighter and brighter as Fenrir spoke. He now understood the meaning behind his partner's earlier words, and slowly said, "I have belittled myself, I apologise for letting you down Fenrir."
Fenrir gave a slight nod. "As such, there is no need for you to painstakingly feel out the yarn's locations. You only need to use your concentration to find them.
This will be multiple times more effective than others. So why would you need an elementary level outer mountain disciple's guidance?"
Ezra could not help but powerfully hammer his fists together. Even someone usually as calm as himself could not help but be overwhelmed by joy as he winked at the black wolf. "Haha, Fenrir, you're too awesome! I'll go try it out first and see if I can find the yarns in my body."
After speaking, he slipped away to the rear courtyard to try out the Gossamer Steps spiritual technique.
A slight smile appeared on Ezra's face as he left. Soon after, he remembered something, he stopped and looked towards a direction as his scarlet eyes squinted in a slightly chilling manner.
"Come out." A pentagon was formed and a martial animal came out.
~KEEEEEERIRIRIRIR~
A chilling screech let by it, it was Razor Pearl Eagle. The undead soldier of Ezra Zephyr who recently became a lower 3rd tier Martial Animal.
He gently patted the eagle and it raised its head.
"I haven't given you a name yet, from now on, you are Twinkle." Said Ezra.
~KREEEEERIRIR~
Twinkle gave a satisfied cry and nodded her head.
"Go teach that fellow a lesson." Said an expressionless Ezra.
What right did a mere outer mountain disciple have to disrespect him?
~KREEERIRIRI~
Twinkle released a low cry upon hearing this, an excited look flooding out its red shining eyes. Its figure moved its wings flaps, transforming into a flash of sparkling light as it shot forth into the sky.
Ezra watched Razor Pearl Eagle disappear before he moved on his way again.
Night descended.
Roshi walked out of his teaching hall to watch the disciples disperse. Their respectful farewells to him when they left made him feel increasingly pleased with himself inside.
Behind Roshi, Moshi laughed and said, "Hehe, I have to thank elder brother for giving Ezra Zephyr such a miserable time today. It was so refreshing."
Roshi smiled faintly. "He's merely an ignorant country bumpkin from this tiny continent. Does he really believe that a Gamma layer skill will be so easy to learn? When he comes begging, watch how I'll humiliate him.
I've also told the other outer mountain fellow brother disciples to make sure he won't find even a single instructor. I'll make it such that he'll be unable to learn even a single spiritual technique!"
Moshi also laughed icily and nodded.
Roshi said, "Head on back first, and work hard to master the Gossamer Steps spiritual technique during the next few days such that you will have something to show for yourself in the peak selection ceremony."
Moshi acknowledged, turned around and left.
After sending him off, Roshi began to return to his dwelling. Outer mountain disciples naturally received far better treatment than the unofficial outer mountain disciples, each one owning a good place to practice.
Roahi rose on his spiritual energy, jumping past a mountain when his expression suddenly changed, because a flash of sparkling light was rapidly approaching him from below like a bolt of lightning.
"Who!" Roared Roshi as the spiritual energy in his body began to surge out.
With a swing of his hand, spiritual energy transformed into a giant hand that was dozens of feet wide, mercilessly swatting down at the sparkling light.
~BOOOM~
However, the sparkling light showed no indications of stopping. A low peal seemed to be heard as a sharp shiny whip suffused with colourful gleam abruptly slashed downwards.
In that instant, even space itself seemed to disintegrate.
The giant spiritual energy hand was ruptured in a mere few breaths as sharp whippy winds continued on their path. A foul smell assaulted Roshi's face, quickly followed by intense pain
~ARGH!~
He could not help but scream. A pearl like claw appeared in front of his face, slashing all the way to his waist as his clothes were torn to shreds, making him an extremely miserable sight to see.
Fresh blood dripped down his eyes, causing Roshi to explode with anger. Spiritual energy madly burst out, but before he could counter attack, the sparkling light sent another attack, a whip like a feather.
~SWWIISSH~
The leg of Roshi was cut off and fell, the sparkling light had already disappeared into the boundless night sky.
