BXBX NOVEL Chapter 434 - Secret Technique
Midra had appeared next to her and it looked like Ysla was going to be lectured.
"I know that you want to win, but this was a friendly spar against someone with FOUR liquefied drops of mana!! How did you even think about using our secret technique?? Do you know that not even someone at the same rank would survive this?
I\'ll have to report this to my mother, otherwise, we won\'t know when you will act impulsively again!!"
Jason heard everything and couldn\'t help but smile drily.
He had already felt that he wouldn\'t be able to survive the compressed quicksilver beam attack, but hearing the same from Midra felt weird.
\'Secret technique....\'
It was interesting to figure out that something like secret techniques existed and from what Jason had sensed, Ysla\'s attack was comparable to an attack from someone between 200 and 250 liquefied drops of mana!
This means that the secret technique unleashed a single attack that was 1/3 stronger than her normal capabilities were!
Jason was not sure where this extra power came from, but after starting at Ysla with his mana eyes he was able to guess something.
\'Is it Life force again?\'
From the looks of it, Ysla\'s mana core that was enveloped by quicksilver had lost some of its luster, and Jason began to wonder if that had something to do with life force.
He knew that a mana core would lose its luster once one was severely injured, the mana core itself had been damaged, or one was dead!
Thus, there was something new Jason had to figure out.
\'Is the main purpose of secret technique to exceed one\'s limitations and create one, lethal attack? Maybe the latter part is only about Ysla\'s secret technique, but the former should be the case for most secret techniques!\'
From the talk he had with Midra, Jason knew that there were more techniques than he had initially expected.
Even the types of grades were many more than he had expected.
It was obvious that the Terra grade was the bottom line for most techniques. However, they were not divided into three segments as he had expected.
Rather, they were five namely, Basic-Intermediate-Advanced-Peak-Superior.
As if that was not enough, these Terra grade techniques were mainly utilized by common and some higher races, while there were also two more grades for technique, Midra was aware of.
The next highest grade for certain cultivation and martial art technique was the Heaven grade, followed by the Luna grade.
However, even the Ariyor race, one of the higher races, had yet to procure a Basic Luna grade technique!!
Most races were of the opinion that Terra-grade techniques said that one was a common race, while Heaven-grade techniques would make a race into a higher race!
Jason didn\'t care about any of that because he had yet to procure something better than a Terra-Intermediate technique.
His body refinement state was not great, but it was better than nothing!
Nevertheless, Jason thought that it would take some time before he would be able to acquire a better technique that was suitable for himself.
Furthermore, the Netherworld\'s fort technique was the best he could use right now because it lessened his mana consumption and increased his control over the black affinity, Solaris had inherited to him!
This was very advantageous, and Jason, who was still standing behind Fasro, didn\'t even notice that he was eyed oddly.
The surrounding Ariyor wanted to see how Ysla, who was deemed as a little prodigy, would overwhelm Jason.
Yet, everything they could see made them believe that Jason was at the upper hand and that Ysla had to resort to her last, final trump card in order to turn the tables!
She had only won because of her secret technique, and everyone was aware of this.
As such, Jason, who was deemed as someone weak because of his four drops of liquefied mana, turned into one of the most talented humans they had seen until now!
After the spar was concluded, Fasro had brought Jason back to the Shiabi clan headquarters because Ysla\'s mood had worsened.
It had been long since she had been lectured by her sister and according to her, Jason was at fault for everything!
Knowing that Ysla was only 10 years old, Jason didn\'t hold a grudge, and instead, he said that he would go return to his masters.
Fasro nodded his head, saying that this would probably be the best they could do for now before he accompanied Jason.
There was no reason to do so, but Fasro was curious about Jason\'s hidden trumps.
He was also quite proficient in fighting as his combat awareness and quick thinking were great.
His mana absorption rate should be fast too, at least if his senses didn\'t perceive Jason\'s earlier state wrong.
After Jason had used up his stored amount of mana in order to survive the Ifry\'s suicidal attack, his entire being seemed to have screamed for more mana.
From the looks of it, Jason was proficient in passively absorbing mana, and the only issue he had was the amount of mana in his surroundings.
Fasro could see the exact same right now.
Jason\'s surroundings were void of mana because he had already absorbed everything.
\'If he actively absorbs mana, he would need many Lique grade mana stones...I wonder how high the limits of his absorption rate are!\'
With that in mind and the words he recalled having said to Jason about their prodigies cultivation stage according to their age, Fasro couldn\'t help but ask
"I\'m curious...how many drops of liquefied mana can you create in one month? That is if you have enough mana in the surroundings and enter a fully concentrated state? I know you won\'t be able to tell me the exact number, but what is your assumption?"
Jason didn\'t expect to hear such a question and he had to think about it for some time.
\'How should I know that...with the stigma fully utilized...It should be much higher than actively doing so, but I can\'t even actively absorb mana because the mana in my surroundings is way too low for the needs I have…\'
He was unable to figure out the stigma\'s limitations because the surrounding mana is not dense and pure enough.
As such, he could only say what he had already figured out, which was the assumption without utilizing the stigma!
"In a fully concentrated state, with enough mana, I should be able to create around 10 drops of mana...I think?"
This was fewer than Fasro expected, but if he knew that Jason was not talking about common drops of mana, but his unique liquefied drops of mana that required three times more mana than common ones.
Furthermore, Jason was still adjusting to the liquefication process!
After Fasro had asked this question, they became silent again.
When they had arrived above the Shiabi clan headquarters, Fasro bid farewell before he had returned.
Jason dived down to the headquarters, without attracting too much attention, and it didn\'t take long before he found his masters.
This was thanks to his mana eyes.
Once he said his masters the most important information Midra had told him, Jason began to look out for Yune and the others.
They had told him about their plan to scout for other humans that were strong enough to fight against the foreign races.
Gathering those would increase their combat strength by a large margin, and it might even help to create a small protected zone on Canir.
This zone would be the Shandra country and Yune, Milan and Isga felt that it was necessary to start somewhere before expanding when the time had come.
His three friends had yet to hear the news about the number of Ifrytor that was somewhere nearby, but Jason was about to do that.
After that, he doubted that Yune and the others would continue with their plan because it would be more important to take care of the Ifrytor.
Jason was confident in his own combat strength, but once there was a large number of opponents with more than 100 drops of liquefied mana, he would become incapable of fighting all at once!
This was not the case with a high number of Ifrytor with less than 100 drops of liquefied mana, because their fire\'s ability would be nullified, or even absorbed from Solaris!
As such, he might as well be labeled as invincible if he were to fight against those Ifrytor!
However, when he had found Yune and the others, he couldn\'t help but gulp.
"What the hell happened with you guys? You didn\'t bathe in blood...right?"
