Master Renald was astonished by Oasis's capability as he trained him. Oasis's movements were fluid and precise, with more power in each strike."Good, good," he praised.It had been about four hours since they started with the Blazing Dragon Fist. It seemed as if Oasis had already been practicing it for some time."Enough for now. Go refresh with the others and help them with making lunch," Renald told Oasis.It was already noon, with the sun barely entering the Winter Garden Peak. Everyone was on a break from their first two sessions, and Oasis joined the others outside, who had just finished their training."Yo, Oasis," Tatsuo waved at Oasis, who was coming out of the main hall.Oasis nodded his head in reply."Damn, how did this kid even train to get such a body?" Tatsuo remarked as he saw Oasis's physique."Let's go prepare some food. They'll cook; we just need to chop the veggies and meat," Tatsuo said, tossing Oasis his upper clothing."Cool, thank you," Oasis replied as he caug
Master Renald led Oasis through the throng of people, making their way toward a particular stall at the far end of the market near a building.The stall was run by a blacksmith known for his exceptional craftsmanship in creating weapons.The blacksmith was a burly man with a thick beard, his face weathered from years of working the forge.Behind him, a display of swords, each one a work of art, gleamed in the lantern light."Ah, Master Renald," the blacksmith greeted with a nod. "What can I do for you today?""We're here to get my disciple a sword," Master Renald replied.The blacksmith eyed Oasis, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Well then, let's find you something special," he said, turning to his wares. "You any good with a blade, lad?"Oasis nodded. "I'm learning, sir.""Cool, cool. Come this way, lad," he spoke as he got out from behind the stall and led the way to the store behind him. Above the entrance, a sign read "Divine Forge.""I'm not just a blacksmith; I'm als
It was tense, and everyone in the field could feel it. The air grew heavy, and the onlookers fell silent, their eyes wide with shock and fear."Stop the duel right now. You won, didn't you?" Oasis roared."Ki ki ki, here comes the savior. Take her," the bully said as he kicked Amilia in the stomach, causing her to bleed from her mouth and toss her over to Oasis."Amilia, here..." Oasis removed a pill from his bracelet.He gave her a vitality-replenishing pill, which was enough to heal most of her internal injuries, making her fine."Wait here," Oasis commanded."You with the big nose, I challenge you to a duel now," Oasis roared at the guy who had just beaten up Amilia as he was descending the other side of the training field."A junior dares to challenge me to a duel? Brat, I will make you wish you were dead," he spoke."I am Dazai. My family is under the Shadowfen family," he declared as he returned to the arena."Hey, old man, treat this match like you were doing the last match. As
Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!Early in the morning, before the disciples of Winter Garden could start their morning session, a heavy, continuous banging resounded at the gate, causing icicles to fall to the ground.It had been a week since Oasis dueled Dazai. Master Renald had already heard the news but acted as if he knew nothing.Oasis hadn’t told anyone in the Garden about the duel, and no one from the Garden had been out since, with all the disciples training non-stop.The noise from the banging was enough to wake everyone in the garden, but Master Renald had already sensed their energies and stood back in the main hall."Eleven people, five are around the 1st layer of the Newborn realm, two at the peak of the Foetal realm, three at the 5th layer of the Foetal realm...""Oh, the last one is at the peak of the Awakened realm. It seems he’s their leader," Oasis thought as he descended the steps from the boys' building in the garden."Ever since I reached the Tabula-Rasa realm, I can pick
As Master Basil left the Winter Garden, thoughts of revenge consumed him."Arrogant brat, you dare insult this king. I'm going to kill you or have you killed as soon as you leave the academy," he fumed silently.Inside the garden, tension was high among the disciples. "Dammit, Oasis, you've caused us trouble! Now we have to fight seniors," Tatsuo complained."This kid, you have barely even mastered our garden techniques, and you're acting all tough and big," Tyla added."Don't blame each other," Liora spoke politely."Don't act like you know me. Instead of shouting at me, use that energy to train," Oasis retorted."And just because I've been showing my skills at a pace you could understand doesn't mean we're on the same level. Don't you ever speak to me in that manner."Oasis removed his upper clothing and began cultivating, ignoring the shocked looks from his fellow disciples.Master Renald chose not to interfere, believing they could solve their problems on their own and would step
The way to the Winter Garden was bustling with students and instructors eager to witness the faction duel as it was the day of the duel.The Basil faction had ensured maximum attention, with everyone murmuring, gossiping, and whispering.The gates of the Winter Garden were already open as the Basil faction entered first.Oasis, Master Renald, and the other disciples were waiting at the entrance to the main hall as their guests arrived."Greetings, Master Basil and your disciples," Master Renald politely welcomed them along with his disciples."This way, we have prepared some refreshments for you and your disciples," Master Renald added, pointing toward the dining hall."Nah, Renald, we are not here for that. Let’s get straight to business," Master Basil rudely replied.The Basil faction took their seats on one side of the training ground in the Winter Garden.Despite being shown respect, they seated themselves arrogantly with their ten disciples.Master Renald and his disciples sat on
The crowd erupted in whispers and murmurs, the atmosphere thick with tension and anticipation."Tatsuo Vulcan is unable to continue. The first round goes to the Basil faction!" Instructor Mori announced, his voice echoing through the training ground.As Harald returned to his faction, triumphant, the Renald faction stood in stunned silence. The battle had only just begun, and the stakes had never been higher.Oasis calmly ascended the stage and took Tatsuo, who was unconscious, back to their side. Master Renald looked at Tatsuo's condition, noting the bleeding on his head.Liora attended to Tatsuo's injury.A disciple from the Basil faction ascended the stage, and Tyla Lumina followed from the Renald faction."From the Basil faction, Darius Stoneheart, and from the Renald faction, Tyla Lumina," Mori announced.Whispers and murmurs rippled through the crowd."Lumina? As in the Lumina family?""She must be strong.""What a shame she’s fighting seniors.""Wow, she’s pretty."The crowd bu
"Liora!!!" Tyla shouted, seeing Liora injured.Magnolia jumped onto the stage, passing Nezala and rushing to Liora. She unleashed her wind magic, making Liora float as she moved her toward the Renald faction.The crowd murmured in awe."Wow, that's Magnolia Riverwind.""She is beautiful.""It is said she is next in line to lead the Riverwind Family.""Water Magic: Healing Grace," Magnolia spoke benevolently, her voice calm and low.She healed most of Liora's injuries, including all internal injuries, leaving only a few external injuries.The crowd gasped."Healing magic!!!""Practitioners who can heal are rare."Most of the people were shocked to see Magnolia possessing healing magic, one of the rarest abilities among practitioners. Healers and alchemists are the most revered and respected."Thank you, lady," Oasis spoke to Magnolia."So this is Oasis," Magnolia thought. "I can sense he is really angry. He's barely holding it in."On the field, Nezala taunted, her eyes scanning the Re
