Chapter 180: Ayrin’s might

“Pitter-patter, pitter-patter…”

Early at dawn. Ayrin stood calmly in a wide and empty training hall inside the infirmary. His ten fingers repeatedly folded together in an unending stream of various postures. Not only the speed was enough to make one dizzy, they also made soft rhythmic sounds.

“He’s trained Ciaran’s Logic Fingers to such a degree… This guy, he entered the particle-condensing state so fast…”

Songat stood not far away from Ayrin, nibbling on a big chunk of ground-meat pie without the slightest care in the world, but a strange light kept shining in the deepest part of his eyes.

Liszt and Cana also stood beside him, watching Ayrin.

“Now that I’ve opened the second arcane gate… the power of arcane particles is indeed different… Sure enough, my body isn’t back to its peak condition yet.”

Ayrin had totally sunken himself in the particle-condensing state. His body produced arcane particles one after another inside him, pouring them nonstop into his two gates. He could also clearly feel that these arcane particles he’d condensed were much more powerful and harder to control. As the vessel for compressing arcane particles, many places inside his body felt as though they’d crack open with a single moment of carelessness.

He knew these places were the places that had been wounded in the fight against Lotton this time.

After a couple days of exercises, he already couldn’t feel much difference during normal training, but in fact, exactly as Songat said, his body had barely recovered to the stage it could condense and utilize arcane particles. He was still far away from being able to cope with a fight with a little more intensity.

But what he himself hadn’t realized was that, from being near-dead after having his body pierced through in countless places, he’d already recovered to this sort of condition after a short couple weeks of treatment. There had never been a more stunning recovery speed in the annals of the Office’s medical department.

“That’s about it!”

“Skunk Devil Summon!”

Ayrin stopped condensing arcane particles all of a sudden. Particles gushed from his hands; a skunk striped black and white fell from the air, and “puff!” released a cloud of stink.

“…”

In the middle of gorging himself with great relish, Songat’s entire person froze, then his face became green the next second. “Wah,” he almost puked. A howl of grief and indignation echoed inside this training site.

“Didn’t you see I was eating?! Ayrin, you definitely did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Haha, I just wanted to see if teacher Songat had a way to counter this skill.”

Pinching his nose, Ayrin couldn’t repress a great laughter when he saw his face.

“Well done!”

Cana almost fainted from the stench as well, but she still couldn’t hold back her laughter. “This guy breaks the rules every time, he eats breakfast only after coming inside the infirmary.”

“This arcane skill is actually pretty interesting.” Liszt pinched his nose with a scrunched face. He stretched a hand, then a wild gust of wind blew, seemingly gathering all the stench fog into a bead in front of him all of a sudden. With a puff, it became white ashes scattering without a trace.

“There’s no stink left at all, what arcane skill is this?” Ayrin’s eyes widened all of a sudden under the surprise.

“I used two skills, one’s Hurricane Draw, the other’s Divine Purification.” Liszt glanced at him with a lazy air. “Hurricane Draw is a very common skill, it’s a bit too simple for you and not that useful. As to Divine Purification, you can only use it with the power of four-gates arcane particles. There’s no way for you to learn it right now.”

“Alright then. In that case, I’m going to try Holy Gate of Life now,” Ayrin immediately said with a nod.

The green-faced Songat had no choice but to toss away the remaining ground-meat pie in the trash can in a corner of the room while mumbling, “This guy… Holy Gate of Life is a secret skill that could rank as one of the most supreme secret skills even among all the taboo skills on Doraster, but the way he talks about it, it seems he’ll use it whenever he wants to use it.”

“Here I go!”

Ayrin once again operated Logic Fingers with an excited yell. His ten fingers flicked nonstop. Even Liszt, Cana, and Songat could immediately feel his spirit gathering at high speed.

Inside Ayrin, the arcane particles he’d previously condensed gushed out of the two arcane gates, forming countless loops inside him of various thickness.

“What a strange sensation, what a powerful taboo skill!”

He immediately felt that, along with countless flows of arcane particles circulating inside, five invisible whirlpools seemed to appear inside him. Yet, he himself couldn’t sense the positions of these five whirlpools.

The greater part of the newly compressed and condensed arcane particles seemed to be immediately swallowed by the five invisible whirlpools, vanishing without a trace.

“That doesn’t feel right…”

Ayrin stopped very quickly, looking a little weird.

“Haha.”

Songat immediately started delighting in his misfortune. “Weren’t you saying you’d learn it for sure? Now you realized how hard it is after trying it, right? This the famous Holy Gate of Life, one of the most powerful taboo skills there is, you think it’s so easy to learn, so easy to grasp?”

“I know that.” Ayrin scratched his head. “That’s why it seems a little strange, it shouldn’t be this simple… I managed in a single try.”

“Oh, I get it, maybe it’s because I couldn’t do anything else these past few days, I could only lie in bed and think about this skill and simulate the way arcane particles course along. That must be why I succeeded on the first try.” Ayrin suddenly seemed to see the light again and smiled with relief.

“What?!”

Songat, Liszt, and Cana almost directly crashed down to the floor.

“He even succeeded with Holy Gate of Life on the first try?”

“This guy, even if he was bound to be a kaleidoscope-type arcane master… This capacity to learn and comprehend, isn’t it too disgusting?”

Songat couldn’t stop shaking his head. That was a big blow for him.

“Teacher Liszt, teacher Cana’s Thunder Blaze Wall seems a bit simpler than the Ruin Fetters you taught me. I’m going to try Holy Gate of Life together with Ruin Fetters in a bit.”

After shouting a few more words, an Ayrin full of fighting spirit starting flicking his fingers again at flying speed, swiftly focusing his spirit to a high degree.

Ayrin’s body generated a steady flow of arcane particles, steadily pouring them into his two arcane gates and the five strange whirlpools.

After using Holy Gate of Life and distributing the arcane particles he’d condensed into the seven arcane gates, he could feel that the accumulation of arcane particles inside his two gates had come to a crawl.

He felt his body’s physical reserves reach their limits after the accumulation inside the two arcane gates reached one-third.
