The large amount of mana rushed into his body quickly filling up the space in his mana core. Elijah smiled satisfactorily as he observed his body. There were no changes except for the fact that he had broken through.
Closing his eyes once again, Elijah circulated the mana in his body, but this time, he was more proficient in doing it and thus wasn't exhausted as quickly as the first time.After a while, Elijah stopped and opened his eyes, this time there were two figures by his bedside looking exactly like him with no difference. At the moment he understood something, it looked like the higher his Realm, the higher the number of clones he would be able to create.As for the time he would be able to keep them, he couldn't say. But then he was going to test it out, it would be better that way."Master!"The two figures bowed immediately and Elijah looked at them."Sit down and cultivate," Elijah ordered.He figured out that since the two clones called him master, they were supposed to listen to his command.And just as he had expected, the clones nodded, sat down, cross-legged, and immediately started to absorb the surrounding Mana.Elijah looked at the two clones curiously as they cultivated. This clone magic was pretty interesting, he could order the clones to do something. He didn't have to do everything himself.In a flash, an hour flashed by, and just as Elijah had expected, the two clones dispersed with a low puffing sound.Next, a stream of mana rushed into his body as the improvement in Cultivation they had was all fed back to him. The space in his mana core expanded a little as the mana settled in.Just as Elijah was about to sit and create more clones, his stomach suddenly growled loudly. At that time, it hit him that he had not eaten since the day before.Because of the excitement of the awakening ceremony, he had forgotten all about food, coupled with the fact that he awakened the clone ability, he was a little bit displeased and was figuring it out.Elijah sighed and stood up from the bed walking out of his room. Getting to the living room, he saw his sister sitting on the sofa with a blank expression.At the moment, he was overwhelmed with a barrage of emotions, back on earth, he was an orphan and didn't have anyone to care for him. Suddenly seeing his sister like that made him feel guilty as he knew that his words had been too harsh earlier."Elijah!" Emily's voice came just as Elijah was about to say something."Sister.....""Don't worry Elijah, no matter what ability you awaken, you'll always be my dear brother. I won't allow anyone to look down on you." Emily cut off Elijah as she pulled him into an embrace.It was unknown when she had gotten to his front. But at the moment, Elijah couldn't care less about all these and just enjoyed his sister's warm embrace."Don't worry Elijah, you can still cultivate your body and become a warrior. You're not useless and you would never be useless.""I'll always protect you as long as I live." Emily sighed as she disengaged from the hug and looked at Elijah.Elijah couldn't help but nod as he swallowed back what he wanted to say."Here," Emily said as she gave Elijah a body tempering technique book."Thanks, sis," Elijah muttered as he collected the book from his sister."Sister, do you have a spell for other abilities?" Elijah mustered up his courage and asked."What do you want to do with it?" Emily asked, feeling a little bit shocked in her heart."I want to..." Elijah shuttered as he didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her that he was trying to see if he could master it, right?"Don't worry Elijah, I have a high-level fire spell of the earth grade" Emily replied and brought out another little book giving it to Elijah.She could understand that he was just trying to see if he could use them out of desperation. But reality was cruel and she knew quite well that he wouldn't be able to use it. But still, she gave it to him.After all, he was her brother and she couldn't bear to see him sad. Ever since their parents disappeared, she had vowed to do all in her power to keep her brother safe and happy."Thanks, sis," Elijah muttered as he collected the book."Come on and eat something, you've not eaten anything since yesterday." Emily smiled as she dragged Elijah to the dining table. She could hear the low grumbling of his stomach."But it's just...""Elijah, it's already midnight, I'm afraid you'll collapse if you don't eat." Emily interrupted Elijah and forced him to take a seat."Midnight?" Elijah muttered in shock as he looked at his sister.Seemed like he had lost track of time when he was cultivating. Suppressing his shock, he sat and ate the food his sister had prepared for him."Sister, I'll be heading back to my room." Elijah stood up right after he finished eating, heading back to his room."Alright Elijah, don't take it too hard on yourself alright?" Emily forced a smile as she looked at Elijah heading to his room."Besides, make sure to tell me if any of the teachers or principals try to bully you." Emily continued."Alright sis," Elijah muttered as he disappeared into his room.Emily sighed as she looked around, she could understand how he felt as she knew how it felt to disappoint everyone who had been looking up to you.Elijah was her brother, and she couldn't care less about which ability he awoke, if anyone tried to mess with him, they would have to face her wrath first.Seemed like she was going to have to chat a little with the principal of the school before she went back to the university, so he wouldn't think of expelling her brother.Thinking about this, she walked back to her room, the expression on her face extremely determined.Elijah sat crossed-legged and began to circulate his mana, soon enough, two clones appeared beside him."Master." The two clones bowed just as Elijah opened his eyes."Take this," Elijah said, passing over the book containing the body-tempering technique to one of the clones.Taking the fire spell, he passed it to the other clone who also sat down and began to read through before starting to cultivate.Elijah sat as he watched with interest as these clones cultivated. Though he was quite skeptical about the success of cultivating the fire spell he still wanted to try.He wasn't going to give up no matter what the case was.In a flash, an hour passed, and with a puffing sound, the two clones dispersed.At the same time, Elijah felt a wave of energy rushed into his body. At that moment, his body was like a container as it hurriedly absorbed the energy. After a while, it stopped.All of a sudden, Elijah felt as though his blood was boiling as an excruciating pain took over him. Sweat cov
"How dare he come back today after what happened yesterday!""If I were the one, I would commit suicide for awakening such a useless ability!""If I was his sister, I'd kick him out of the house, he's a disgrace to her talent!"Voices drifted into Elijah's as he walked into the school, the students all around whispering to themselves as they looked at him in disgust.But then Elijah couldn't care less about them, he was feeling very gleeful in his heart. This morning, he discovered that the space in his mana core had increased a little, and as a result, he was able to create three clones.Though none of the clones lasted more than an hour before they dispersed, the improvement they fed back to his body was great. His understanding of the fireball spell had also increased.All he needed was some practice, and he would be able to raise the level of proficiency and also step into the next level of the fireball spell."Everyone listen up!" A loud voice came just as Elijah sat on his seat
Walking into the forest, Elijah looked around with a hint of amazement, the forest was not as he had thought, behind the tall trees was an entirely different world.It looked lush and the forest excluded a strange sense of beauty with flowers all around. Apart from the birds chirping away, there was nothing to be heard again.The place was extremely silent which showed that the students had long left that place. Well, then Elijah was not a bit surprised. This was a mystic realm and it would be surprising if it wasn't big enough.Sighing, Elijah looked around wondering where he should go. He had to hunt beasts and get their cores so he would be able to exchange them with cultivation resources at the school, but then, there were no beasts nearby.Besides, he was incompletely prepared. Apart from the fireball spell he had learned yesterday, he didn't know any other spell. Also, all he came with was a dagger his sister had given to him just in case.Besides, the spell was merely at the fi
Immediately, a huge wave of pain took over Elijah's senses as he felt numb. There was no need to open his eyes as he knew his clones had been killed.Also, he could tell that the direwolf was rushing towards him at the moment so there was no way he could stop chanting the spell.Once he did, that would be the end of everything and he would become a meal for the direwolf. But then the chant was not completed, and besides, he needed to concentrate or else the spell was going to end up backfiring.Knowing quite well the danger, Elijah concentrated on the chant and soon, his surroundings became extremely hot as the fireball spell slowly took shape.A big fireball, twice as big as Elijah's head was hovering in the air right in front of him. Elijah was shocked seeing this, but there was no time to be surprised, he had to act, the direwolf was almost close to him.Besides, he had only a shot, so he couldn't afford to miss it, or else he was going to become a meal to the direwolf.He could f
The direwolf froze mid-air, after a while, both Elijah and the direwolf fell to the floor, the direwolf's injured body serving as a cushion for Elijah.Elijah fell as a result of exhaustion as he was unable to resist the weight of the direwolf. After a while, Elijah sat up, not minding that he was inside a pool of blood, he began to absorb the blood essence of the direwolf.He had already wasted a lot of time and if he wasted even more time, the blood essence would dissipate.Blood essence was essential for warriors as the blood essence could help them increase their body Cultivation even though the effects were minimal. The higher the grade of a beast, the more valuable the blood essence was.Though the direwolf was just a ninth-grade beast, Elijah wasn't willing to let go of the blood essences. He had suffered a lot before he was able to kill the beast, there was no way he was going to let it go.After a while, Elijah opened his eyes, he could feel within himself that his body had b
Elijah ran at full speed not daring to stop even though he was tired, the fight with the direwolf had drained him completely, and now he had to run for his life again.Knowing well he couldn't outrun the direwolves if in case they had chosen to follow him, he didn't turn around to check if they were after him or not, all he wanted was a good distance.He was too tired to cast any spell, besides, he would be dead before he would be able to complete even a spell, also there were four direwolves, how the heck would he be able to create four fireballs when his mastery over one was not good at all.After sprinting for about ten minutes, Elijah tripped and landed face fist to the floor. Just as he was about to stand up and continue running, he suddenly frowned and then turned around slowly.Much to his surprise, there was no direwolf following him, it seemed like they had followed one of his clones.Seeing this, Elijah breathed a sigh of relief and fell back to the floor while panting heav
(Two Days Later)“Multiple fireballs!” Elijah yelled in his heart just as he finished chanting the spell and the next moment, five fireballs appeared out of thin air, hovering right in front of him.“Die!”Elijah laughed, pointing at the weak beast, a Terraclaw Lizard. A creature that looked like a lizard but a giant one, known for its perfect defense and also the ability to manipulate the earth element.But presently, the Terraclaw Lizard lay on the floor unable to move, blood flowing out of its body watching as the fireballs headed its way.After making sure that the beast was dead, Elijah strode forward, tore open its stomach, and then took its beast core, after which he turned around and walked away, not bothering to absorb its blood essences.It had already been two days since they were in the mystic Realm. Elijah had managed to fight numerous beasts and had managed to perfect the first level of the spell which was the fireball.He had just got through to the second stage of the
The fireball went straight to the beast, a python with six heads known as Six-headed python, an eighth-level beast, moved, evading the fireball, blasting straight into the wall, causing some parts of it to fall off.Elijah frowned seeing the beast, on one of its six heads was one with a horn. If Elijah's knowledge was more wide, then he would have realized that this was a Six-headed python that was about to advance to the seventh-level.Six-headed pythons were born as eighth level beasts, then each of their heads would grow a horn signifying that they had broken through. All the heads would continue to grow a horn until they all grew one.As a result, six-headed pythons were among the beasts that had the potential to reach the second-level or the first-level. Thus they were dangerous.But currently, the six-headed python Elijah was facing was not yet an adult and could still be considered as a baby. Even the first horn had yet to grow.“Hisss!”The hissing of the beast brought Elijah b
Instantly, a solid ice wall formed around Kain, blocking all the attacks from the clones."Crack!" A loud cracking sound resounded throughout the whole stadium; cracks appeared on the circular ice wall, and the force of the collision forced Elijah and his clones backward.A gasp resounded throughout the stadium seeing this. They had never seen Kain use this move before.Maybe this was a new spell he had just learned, and from the looks of it, the spell was quite powerful as even Elijah was not able to break through it even with his monstrous physical strength.Elijah regained his steps and raised his head to look at Kain. Much to his shock, the crack that he made on the ice wall was repaired by itself.Knitting his brows, he couldn't help but remember Austin's earth spell.Seemed like this was going to be even more of a problem for him. But he was going to try his best.If only he could use any of his spells, then he would have long ended the fight, but he had to make sure that he di
Soon, Elijah came onto the stage facing Kain who was also staring at him with a calm expression. Elijah squinted his brows looking at Kain. He had to admit that the other party was quite handsome, he had never seen him up close But at the same time, he radiated a cold aura making his surroundings cold. Elijah couldn't help but frown a little and move backward. The coldness must be from the type of magic he was practicing. According to a book one of his clones came across, high-level mages had different kinds of aura. For example, an ice mage would radiate a cold aura, a fire mage would radiate a hot aura, a shadow mage would radiate a dark and chilling aura, and so on. It was usually dependent on the type of magic they were the strongest at. Also, mages like this could easily perform spells without chanting. Elijah wondered what kind of spell Kian had mastered for him to be able to radiate this kind of aura though he was just a peak level eight mage. "Elijah, I won't go easy on
(A Week Later)"Boss, did you witness the fight between Kain and Ella?" Fang Yuan asked, looking at Kain."No, I wasn't able to come." Elijah shook his head.It had been a week since his fight with Ella and it was just today he was coming back to the school and this was because it was the last day of the tournament.All the other fights had been concluded and now he would be fighting Kain. He had spent the week recuperating.The injuries he received from Ella were not small and he needed quite a lot of time to recuperate, as a result, he didn't go to school."Boss, the fight was shocking." Fang Yuan said excitedly."Though Ella lost in the end, she still managed to put Kain into a tough position." Continued Fang Yuan."But Kian was able to win in the end.""So if you fight with Kian and you win, you'll be taking the first position, but even if you lose, you'll still be taking the second position.""I envy you, boss." Fang Yuan rambled on, non stop.Elijah smiled and didn't say anythin
"Huh?"A gasp spread throughout the stadium, everyone looking at Elijah in shock and wondering if he had gone insane.He knew quite well that the thorns would pierce his skin the moment he used his mana, and yet he used it, what the heck was he thinking?The referee at the moment had his wand out, wanting to stop the battle and declare Ella as the winner cause it was obvious that she won.With Elijah unable to use his mana, he was destined to move. But for some reason, he didn't stop the battle and continued to watch."Slash!" Elijah continued to slash at the vines targeting him amidst the thick rain of thorns. He couldn't care less about the thorns on his body and just did as though they were not there.Just as Elijah turned around to slash one of the vines attacking him, another shot right behind him, holding his hand firmly.Before he could move, another one shot forward, restricting his other hand.The vines on the floor also crawled onto his legs restricting his movements.More v
No! They were wrong, it was not just a figure, it was six figures, all holding a wooden sword, slashing through the vines until there was nothing left."Huh?"A gasp spread across the stadium as Elijah's figure came back into view.Even the Judges were shocked to see him. At the moment, his shirt was torn, revealing his muscular upper body. Beside him were five clones holding a wooden sword and slashing the Vines at an incredible speed.Everyone's mouth was wide open and even an egg would fit in at the moment. Elijah's mana reserve was monstrous. The vines covering him were comparable to a mountain and under that Pressure, he was able to create five clones and slash through the vines at an incredible speed all while using his mana.Elijah on the other hand had a smirk on his face as he looked around. His main aim at the moment was to look for the core of the vine forest.Just after the vines covered him, he created five clones and slashed the vines together, but they were too slow.T
The next moment, vines began to grow all around the ring turning the place into a forest with thick, long vines of different sizes. Ella's figure had disappeared immediately after she chanted the spell. To defeat her, he would need to find out where she was and force her to come out. He was sure that this spell would have taken up a lot of her mana. But there were still some problems, there were vines all over. Meaning Ella would be able to launch attacks on him easily. Besides, he could see the cursed buds all over and even the vines had thorns all over them which would cut through his flesh. "I don't think Elijah would win!" "Why?" "That's the same spell she used on Kian last year!" Voices muttered as everyone waited, wanting to see what Elijah was going to do. He was in Ella's domain. A spell domain was not something usually seen, but once the caster was able to learn and cast it successfully, then their chances of winning against their opponent would shoot up. Expect if
Elijah walked onto the stage and glanced at his opponent. For a moment, he felt his heartbeat increase."So this was what she looked like," Elijah muttered, looking at Ella up close.She was surprisingly beautiful, the demeanor surrounding her was one of a kind that he had never seen.It would give one relief at the same time danger. It all depended on which side one wanted to see."You did a good job defeating Austin." Ella suddenly said, looking at Elijah."It's nothing." Elijah smiled, his heart racing, observing Ella. She was just how the rumors had said.Calm! But behind that calmness was ruthlessness and if one was to believe in her beautiful face, then that was the end.Fang Yuan told him stories of how ruthless she was and it wouldn't be shown until she was fighting either Austin or Kian.Now that Elijah had defeated Austin, he was going to fight her instead, so Fang Yuan felt like he should tell Elijah everything."Fight!"The command of the referee came, pulling Elijah out o
(Two Days Later) "Boss, do you know what the rewards for the first and second positions are?" Fang Yuan whispered as usual to Elijah as a match was going on. "Well, I heard it was the Heavenly Lightning Fruit," Elijah replied. This was the sole reason he had joined the competition which was to collect this fruit. The fruit would aid in his Cultivation and was very suitable for Lightning mages. But if one was not a Lightning Mage and still took the fruit, it would just push up one's Cultivation. If they were having a bottleneck, they would break through easily. "Exactly, but do you know what the second position price is?" Fang Yuan continued to ask. "No." Elijah shook his head. "Well, I heard the second position is the Sky Jade fruit and the third position gets a star moon fruit." Fang Yuan replied. "What about fifth to ten?" Elijah asked. "The school would give them three beast cores pertaining to their elements so they would be able to improve." "The rest gets nothing." Fan
Austin dashed towards Elijah, his eyes fixed on the real Elijah, as for the clones, he couldn't care less about them. According to the laws of the universe, clones were not as strong as the original body. So Elijah forming four clones meant that each one would be weaker than the other. Having this in mind, he launched a punch at the real Elijah, but before he could punch Elijah, a clone appeared in his front, blocking the punch. Before he could react, another sent a sweeping kick towards him from his right. Austin smirked, raising his hands, and blocked the punch. The third clone appeared by his left and punched his abdomen, while another appeared at his back, punching him. "Crack!" A loud sound resounded throughout the place. The earth on Austin's abdomen and back cracked and fell off. "Puff!" But in return, the two clones disappeared with a puffing sound. Under Elijah's command, they had used all the strength they could muster to deliver that punch, as a result, they became
