The projection of Oasis standing calmly in the clearing, having effortlessly taken control of the situation, was a powerful image.It reinforced the notion that this young candidate was not just another participant but a true contender with remarkable potential.The combination of his swift, decisive actions and his unexpected mastery of water magic had captured the imagination of everyone present."What did I just do?" Oasis muttered to himself, still shocked by his own capabilities.The sword-wielding candidate, witnessing this display of power from the forest, immediately ran away, wanting to avoid Oasis.Despite not fully understanding how he had accomplished what he did, Oasis maintained his composure."So powerful," the girl thought, her earlier fatigue and desperation replaced by curiosity."Will you teach me?" Oasis asked again. The girl, momentarily taken aback by his request, nodded slowly. "Sure," she said, recognizing his genuine interest."Anyway, it's about to get dark,
In the arena, the spectators were awestruck. "Did you see that?" one noble whispered. "Who is she?"Elder Aric's eyes widened slightly, recognizing the technique. "The Moonlight Technique... Could she be from the Frostveil Clan?" he wondered aloud."So that is a martial artist," Oasis thought, his mind racing. "Who was she?" As he undid the barrier around Mira, he couldn't help but be impressed by the silver-haired girl's skill and power.Oasis and Mira continued moving together, eliminating candidates and giving Mira opportunities to fight while Oasis observed her techniques closely.Two days passed in this manner, with both of them growing stronger and more confident in their abilities.As Oasis and Mira were moving through the imitation Whispering Woods, hunting for more candidates to eliminate, they suddenly began to glow and were transported back to the arena.The crowd buzzed with excitement as the remaining candidates appeared, their expressions a mix of relief and anticipation.
Sitting down, Oasis carefully opened the first book, the Phoenix's Heart Cultivation manual, setting the other two aside. The delicate pages felt ancient under his fingers, and he marveled at the intricate symbols and writing.His curiosity piqued, Oasis reached for the Stormborn Journal next. However, as he tried to open it, he found that the book was sealed. Despite his efforts, it wouldn’t budge."Fascinating, I can't open this one. I wonder what is written inside," Oasis thought, feeling a mix of frustration and intrigue.Deciding to focus on what he could access, he returned to the Phoenix's Heart Cultivation book. He settled into a comfortable position and began to study its contents."As above, so below; as within, so without. As pure flames dominate, all impurities shall vanish," Oasis read aloud, absorbing the profound words of the cultivation technique.For hours, he immersed himself in the ancient text, feeling a deep connection to the teachings. The principles resonated wit
The dining area was a bustling hub of activity, filled with the clinking of cutlery and the murmur of conversation. People exchanged news and gossip in low voices, creating a lively but intimate atmosphere.Oasis sat, eating with enthusiasm, his senses heightened by his recent breakthrough. He could hear fragments of conversations from all around, including the discussion about Barnabus the Slayer, which caught his attention.The two men their hushed conversation. "It's terrifying. I can't believe he's back," one of them said, his voice barely above a whisper. The other nodded grimly. "We need to be careful."As Oasis listened, intrigued and disturbed by their words, the door to the dining area swung open. Sir Elias entered, fresh from his journey back from Mossy Hollow. His eyes scanned the room until they landed on Oasis."Is that Oasis?" Sir Elias thought, noticing a significant change in the young man's demeanor. As he walked closer, he sensed something different about Oasis—an au

As Oasis dashed through the forest, the verdant foliage blurred past him in a rush of green.His movements were swift and fluid, aided by the power of his wind magic.With each step, he propelled himself forward with remarkable speed, effortlessly navigating through the dense undergrowth."Wow, I can move much faster than before," Oasis marveled to himself, exhilarated by the newfound agility granted by his magical abilities.The wind whistled past his ears as he darted through the forest, his senses heightened and his focus keen.However, amidst his rapid movement, Oasis's acute senses detected something amiss.His ears pricked up at the faint sounds of movement nearby, alerting him to potential danger lurking in the vicinity."I can hear movements," Oasis thought, his senses on high alert as he cautiously continued forward.With each step, he treaded carefully, his eyes scanning the surrounding foliage for any signs of danger.After a few more meters, Oasis reached a clearing in the
As the screens continued to show the scenes from the Whispering Woods, the crowd's excitement and curiosity grew.Oasis had become the center of attention, his power and potential sparking a mixture of admiration and apprehension among both the audience and the noble families.Back in the Whispering Woods, Oasis bent down to pick up the beast cores from the fallen goblins, their faint glow a testament to their magical energy."What is the Phoenix's Heart Cultivation?" he mused, examining the cores. "My power feels way stronger, but I need to maintain control. And it seems I can no longer use water magic." His mind buzzed with questions and possibilities.He stood up, the realization of his newfound strength both exciting and daunting. "It's time to get moving," he resolved, tucking the beast cores into his storage bracelet.With a deep breath, he began to dash through the forest, using his wind magic to move swiftly and silently.The dense foliage and towering trees blurred past him a
As Oasis and Amilia continued talking under the moonlight, the scene around them was serene and enchanting.The moon cast a gentle, silver glow over the forest, creating intricate patterns of light and shadow on the ground. The fire between them flickered warmly, casting a golden light on their faces and reflecting in their eyes.Amilia broke the silence, her voice thoughtful. "You've changed a lot in these past few weeks."Oasis shrugged, trying to play it cool. "Just some training," he said, poking the fire with a stick to keep the flames alive. "What about you? How's the exam treating you so far?"Amilia chuckled softly, a musical sound that seemed to blend with the crackling of the fire. "Challenging, as expected. But that's what makes it exciting, right?" She looked around their little clearing, taking in the serene atmosphere. "This is a good spot you've found."Oasis nodded, glad for the compliment. "Yeah, it's peaceful here. Makes it easier to relax."He took a moment to appre
