Chapter 50: Flaming Evil Eye! (2/2)
“This monster…” Moss suddenly had the urge to spit out blood again.
This sort of finger technique consisted of only a few dozen finger motions cycling again and again. But you could only use them when focusing all your concentration to begin with, and let spiritual strength build up through the repetitions. The placements of the five fingers were different with every motion, hence it was naturally extremely difficult.
Every motion was very awkward for Moss. He made mistakes at every step. He felt that his own fingers weren’t listening to him at all, almost like ten ropes that kept intertwining together.
But he saw that things were entirely different for Ayrin. It seemed he only needed to imitate it once, then he would be more or less there starting from the second time. He actually became more and more proficient with more repetitions, as if he were soon going to be able to do it on his own, without looking at Ciaran.
“Carter was right, the most fearsome thing this kid and his mysterious bloodline isn’t only his barbarian-like body, but also his astounding capacity to learn.”
There wasn’t much change on Ciaran’s face, but wave after wave of shock raged inside her.
Whether in Holy Dawn Academy or in other academies, in so many years, she’d simply never seen a genius like Ayrin before! She was certain that even these geniuses with genuine high-level dragon bloodlines had no way at all to compare to Ayrin when it came to the ability to learn.
“On physical strength and the speed of progress in momentum, you could say there’s no difference between him and ordinary dragon bloodlines!”
“On arcane power, dragon bloodlines have a stronger affinity for arcane power, and arcane skills used by dragon bloodlines will be more powerful than his.”
“Maybe the resistances to blows are about the same, but his ability to recover is actually even stronger than dragon bloodlines.”
“It seems there’s no bloodline at all with such a capacity for learning.”
She even had a kind of feeling. A dragon bloodline on one side, on the other side the bloodline Ayrin possessed currently, a mysterious bloodline no one in the entire Holy Dawn Academy could determine, or even no one in the entire kingdom of Eiche could determine. If she could choose between one of these two bloodlines, she might even choose Ayrin’s current bloodline.
“I’ll also teach you my gate opening skill first in passing.” Seeing that Ayrin could already grasp the “Logic Fingers” with only six or seven repetitions, Ciaran sucked in a deep breath, slowly exhaled, then said, “This gate opening skill is called “Flaming Evil Eye,” it’s also a finger skill.”
“Watch carefully. This secret skill gathers arcane particles on the tips of your five fingers, then compresses arcane particles to different degrees between the fingers, causing the arcane particles and arcane power to reach different degrees of blending. After that, you let the strange power burst out.”
Moss never heard of the “Flaming Evil Eye” before. Now listening to Ciaran’s explanation, he could immediately feel its fearsome difficulty. He could also be certain right there that this was definitely not an ordinary arcane skill, but one of the secret skills of an elite teacher like Ciaran!
“Ok!” Ayrin didn’t seem to have perceived the slightest difficulty however. He merely looked at Ciaran with a face filled with excitement and fighting spirit, saying in a loud voice, “Teacher Ciaran, I’m watching carefully, I’ll try my best!”
Ciaran nodded right when Moss again felt a strong urge to spit out blood, then she stretched out her right hand towards the empty air.
She was clearly slowing down the speed on purpose, so that even Moss could clearly see five streams of dazzling arcane particles flowing out from her fingers, then rotating over them, compressing. Every crystalline bunch of purple light was of a different size. The strength used to compress them was obviously different as well.
“Swish!”
A giant eye the size of a fist suddenly appeared in front of her five fingers, shooting towards the air!
This eye was entirely condensed by fire. It was completely real, and seemed to radiate astounding magic power, thoroughly attracting Ayrin’s and Moss’ gazes and focuses despite themselves.
In Ayrin’s eyes, this burning evil eye suddenly became a bunch of delicious food!
While in Moss’ eyes, this evil eye transformed into an astonishingly beautiful blonde girl!
“Ah!”
This evil eye emitted terrifying heat and light just when the two of them stared with wide eyes. The two of them felt as if they were irradiated by beams of light from a dozen suns. They shouted miserably, tears of pain immediately flowing down from their eyes.
“Evil Flaming Eye, not only the might of the flames is pretty good, it also contains an unique primordial energy. It can even easily reflect the desires hidden in the deepest reaches of the eyes, making you feel as if you were seeing the thing you like the most,” Ciaran said.
“Amazing! Too amazing! It’s already like this just looking at it from here, if it truly were to hit you in the face, then you’d really be beaten into a dried jerky and pasted on the walls!” Ayrin immediately shouted with excitement.
“…” Moss was ashamed to show his face after seeing the beautiful golden-haired girl, his cheeks scorching hot, looking just as if they’d been burnt.
