As the first light of dawn kissed the tranquil waters of the Crystal Lake, Oasis emerged from the small cave that had become their home.His eyes blinked sleepily as he took in the serene beauty of the morning scene, the soft hues of pink and orange painting the sky above.Nearby, Sir Elias was already awake, tending to a crackling campfire and preparing breakfast. The aroma of sizzling food filled the air, mingling with the fresh scent of the surrounding forest."Good morning, Sir Elias," Oasis mumbled sleepily, his voice still heavy with drowsiness as he shuffled towards the campfire.Without a word, Sir Elias unleashed a swift motion, conjuring a water prison that surrounded Oasis in a circle.Caught off guard, Oasis yelped in surprise as he found himself encased in a sphere of water. With a flick of Sir Elias's wrist, the water prison launched Oasis into the cool embrace of the Crystal Lake.Splashing into the water, Oasis flailed in panic as he struggled to find his bearings. His
Sir Elias led Oasis to the edge of the lake, where the morning sun cast a golden glow upon the water.As they began their training, the sound of the footsteps and the swish of the sword cutting through the air echoed across, a testament to the beginning of Oasis's training.Sir Elias incorporated meditation into Oasis's daily routine. Each morning, before the sun rose above the horizon, Oasis would sit in quiet meditation, focusing his mind and centering his thoughts before the day's training."Close your eyes, Oasis," Sir Elias instructed, his voice carrying a calming presence. "Clear your mind of all distractions and let your thoughts flow like the currents of the lake."Oasis obeyed, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath as he followed Sir Elias's guidance.The soft lapping of the lake against the shore and the gentle rustle of the trees provided a soothing backdrop to his meditation."Feel the energy around you," Sir Elias continued, his voice barely above a whisper. "Let it fl
The morning sun bathed the shores of Crystal Lake in a golden hue as Oasis awoke, feeling rejuvenated after his meditation.Stretching his limbs, he took a deep breath of the crisp morning air, the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds serving as a serene backdrop to the tranquil scene.As Oasis emerged from his meditation spot, Sir Elias greeted him with a warm smile. "Good morning, Oasis," he said, his voice carrying a note of cheerfulness. "I hope you slept well."Oasis nodded, returning Sir Elias's smile. "Yes, I feel refreshed," he replied, his eyes bright with energy.Sir Elias nodded in satisfaction, gesturing towards the campfire where breakfast awaited. "Well then, let's eat," he said, his tone inviting.As Oasis settled down to enjoy his meal, Sir Elias launched into an explanation about the next steps of his training. He spoke with a sense of purpose, his words laced with wisdom and guidance."Oasis, my boy," Sir Elias began, his voice carrying an air of
Sir Elias watched in awe as Oasis seamlessly executed each spell, his movements fluid and confident.The raw power and control displayed by Oasis were nothing short of extraordinary, a testament to his natural talent and relentless dedication.As Sir Elias observed Oasis's remarkable progress, a mixture of emotions washed over him.Pride swelled within him as he witnessed Oasis's mastery over the elemental magic, but alongside it, a sense of awe and apprehension took hold."He's surpassed the Zygote Stage; he's already at Embryo 4th layer," Sir Elias muttered to himself, his voice tinged with disbelief. "This boy is a monster.The intensity of Oasis's abilities left Sir Elias trembling with a potent blend of excitement and trepidation.As he felt the tremors coursing through his body, Sir Elias couldn't help but question the source of his agitation."Wow, I'm shaking. Am I scared or excited?" Sir Elias wondered silently, his thoughts racing as he struggled to comprehend the magnitude o
In his heart, Sir Elias felt a mix of pride and apprehension."This kid is a monster," he thought, still grappling with the reality of Oasis's unprecedented growth."Not only did he break through fast, but he can feel his mana heart even before reaching the Newborn stage. I've never heard of such a thing."Sir Elias knew that he was witnessing the emergence of a prodigy, someone who could potentially reshape the world of magic.The thought filled him with excitement and a touch of fear, as he realized the immense responsibility he had in guiding this extraordinary young man."Oasis, let me further explain the world of magic and cultivation," Sir Elias began."In this world, there are ordinary people who lack the capability or potential to harness magic and cultivate.""And then there are those who can do magic and cultivate. Among these people, there are mages, martial artists, and refiners."He continued, "First, mages like myself. I'm a mage, and we harness the mana within ourselves
The sun had climbed higher into the sky, casting sharp shadows and illuminating the vibrant greens and blues of the Crystal Lake surroundings.The tranquility of the lake contrasted sharply with the intense energy radiating from the two figures sparring on the shore.Oasis and Sir Elias stood facing each other, the air around them charged with anticipation. Oasis's muscles were taut, his eyes focused and determined. Sir Elias, calm yet alert, prepared himself for the first move."Ready, Oasis?" Sir Elias called out, his voice steady.With a swift motion, Sir Elias launched the first attack, his hand slicing through the air with a burst of wind magic. Oasis deftly dodged, his movements fluid and precise.He countered with a blast of water, the liquid forming sharp, needle-like projectiles aimed at Sir Elias.Sir Elias twisted his body, evading the water needles with grace. He retaliated with a powerful gust of wind, forcing Oasis to brace himself against the onslaught.The force of the
Days passed by at Crystal Lake, with Sir Elias and Oasis dedicating themselves to training day in and day out. They sparred tirelessly, pushing each other to new heights, until two months had elapsed."Lad, you have made a lot of progress, more than I could have imagined," Sir Elias praised Oasis one morning as they concluded their two-month sparring sessions, marking the end of their eight-month training period at Crystal Lake."And within these two months of sparring, you have already reached the fourth layer of the Foetal Stage. Truly, you are a genius."Sir Elias's words carried a tone of genuine admiration and pride as he acknowledged Oasis's remarkable development.The atmosphere of Crystal Lake seemed to echo his sentiments, with the gentle rustle of leaves and the soft murmurs of the nearby stream adding to the sense of tranquility.Oasis, though visibly fatigued from their rigorous training, couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction and accomplishment at Sir Elias's words
As the bloody battle concluded, the guard leader approached Sir Elias and Oasis, his eyes scanning them cautiously."I don't sense any ill intent from you," the guard leader stated, his tone measured. "I am Lancelot Bloodstone from the BlueMoon family. We are heading to the capital.""Elias Hawthorne from Riverbend, and this lad here is my disciple, Oasis," Sir Elias replied calmly.Lancelot's gaze shifted to Sir Elias, appraising him. "Oh, fascinating. Peak Tabula-Rasa stage," he remarked with a nod.Then, turning his attention to Oasis, his eyes widened in surprise. "What? This young kid is at the fourth layer of the Foetal stage? From the looks of it, he's only eight years old. Is he noble?"As this conversation unfolded, a young man inside the carriage was eavesdropping. His curiosity piqued, he stepped outside, his movements brisk.One of the guards immediately spoke up, concern evident in his voice. "Young master BlueMoon, please go inside."The young master ignored the guard's p
