Chapter 113: A Strange Message

Translator: JLEditor: Pranav

Ai Hui had been certain that Mistress would give him a scolding, but he did not expect her to just throw him a new pair of Sword Rattan Gloves without saying a word.

The embroidery workshop did not sell Sword Rattan Gloves, and it was only he who used them.

It was likely that Mistress had spent the whole night weaving it for him.

Ai Hui was touched. Mistress was the perfect example of ‘all bark and no bite.’ She treated him as if he were her own disciple.

The workshop’s ruins had already been sorted out.

However, it was still not suitable for Ai Hui to train in the embroidery workshop, so he took the Sword Rattan Gloves and returned to the training hall.

Ai Hui could only feel the effect of the Sword Rattan Gloves when he trained.

After a deep breath, Ai Hui began.

The Sword Rattan Gloves worked very well indeed. The instant he removed the Sword Rattan Gloves and untied the Blood Bandage, he immediately felt the trembling of the elemental energy mass within his natal residence, and a slender thread of elemental energy drifted out from it.

However, what made Ai Hui surprised was that the Sword Rattan Gloves were not the reason why the silver balls in his hand palaces rotated at a fast speed.

The fine thread of elemental energy drifted away and entered the hand palace’s silver ball, like a tired bird returning to its nest.

Ai Hui’s body jolted and both his hand palaces suddenly heated up—it was as if his hands were about to burn. Before Ai Hui could even react, a steady flow of elemental energy started trickling out of the elemental energy mass in his natal residence and into Ai Hui’s hand palaces.

The temperature of his hand palaces began increasing rapidly. Ai Hui felt as if his palms were pork knuckles on a hot stove—he had almost jumped up, but he managed to forcibly restrain himself. He could feel the silver balls in his hand palaces expanding rapidly.

Not only was the silver balls’ elemental energy increasing, but the balls were also changing in shape. The silver balls began to collapse towards the middle, and gradually, Ai Hui could perceive some development.

Vortex!

The silver balls continued to expand, gradually transforming into a silver vortex.

The silver elemental vortex was continuously growing at a slow speed, and Ai Hui was more than happy with such a change. In general, when a student just activated a hand palace, it was impossible to it fill it up with elemental energy in just a day or two. After all, elemental energy was extremely sparse in the natural world, and even with the aid of elemental food, it would still take time.

Ai Hui’s situation was slightly special as his body already had an astonishing amount of elemental energy.

Not only was the elemental energy vortex in both his hand palaces unceasingly expanding, but its elemental energy absorption speed was also constantly increasing. However, Ai Hui soon started to feel that something was wrong. Not only was the absorption speed increasing, but the speed of the elemental energy’s circulation in his body was also rising as well. Such a high concentration of elemental energy brought about a burden to Ai Hui.

While the rotation of the elemental energy was not as fast as it was during battle, it had been rotating for an extended period of time, which brought about obvious changes to his body. Ai Hui’s muscles started to swell, and he began to tremble. Large droplets of sweat appeared, flowing down in streams.

At the last moment, just before he could hold on no longer, Ai Hui managed to tie a knot on the Sword Rattan Gloves.

The connection between his hand palace and his natal residence was suddenly cut off, granting him immediate relief from the fluster. Ai Hui desperately gasped for breath, as if he had just drowned and had been rescued. With a slackened gaze, he laid straight out on the floor.

After a long moment, his glazed eyes began to recover, and the bright, starry sky soon came into focus.

While he was still panting and his body was weak, his mind was no longer blank. Although he didn’t feel like moving even an inch, he still struggled to push himself up. Checking his hand palace, he realized that the elemental energy vortex was rotating automatically, and it had become very stable.

A faint silver glow could be seen through the gaps of the Sword Rattan Gloves.

If he removed the Sword Rattan Gloves, the vortexes, which were emitting the silver rays from each his hand palaces, would be clearly visible.
