Chapter 380: Uninvited Gues (2/2)
The chubby arcane master did not ask Ferguillo and Wilde to stop. He remarked in a normal chatter, “I have graduated from Iron Forest Academy for more than thirty years. I was considered an elite student back then, but I haven’t achieved much up to now.”
“Teacher Zen, your cultivation hall has also nurtured many decent arcane masters, it’s already a great achievement.” Wilde sincerely spoke.
“But since Professor Zu thinks so highly of me and let you two to learn from me. My greatest achievement is probably teaching you two.” The chubby arcane master grinned and spoke while looking at Ferguillo and Wilde, “My fighting style requires utmost calm and patience, hence I made you two continue to do chores all this while. However, you are more outstanding and mature than I thought.”
“This is my Mind’s Eye Confrontation scroll.”
The chubby arcane master took out two brand new, identical scroll and presented them to Ferguillo and Wilde. He explained with a smile, “This arcane skill is a bizarre absolute frontal defensive materialization skill. As long as the attack comes from the front, the materialized mind’s eye blade will definitely block the opponent’s arcane skill using lesser arcane particles...... Hence I mentioned about requiring sufficient calmness and patience. Using this arcane skill to fight a stronger opponent means to exhaust the opponent with extreme patience. You must maintain a frontal confrontation against the opponent’s attack, never letting any attack come from the side or back.”
“So that’s what’s bizarre about this arcane skill!”
Ferguillo and Wilde could not help but look at each other.
When facing a strong opponent, especially one that was a level higher, they had to maintain a frontal confrontation against the opponent’s arcane skill. And if they had to use exhaustion as a method to decide the outcome, it definitely required extreme patience. They must not get impatient and make any mistakes.
“Wilde, since you rely more on close-range materialization skills, this arcane skill can become a life saver when facing some arcane masters who can deal burst damage even at close range.”
“As for little Fer......” The old arcane master’s gaze fell on Ferguillo, “Professor Zu was right. Your personality suits this arcane skill.”
“This strange arcane skill with restrictions should work well when facing an enemy. It allows me to defend against a higher level arcane master.” Ferguillo bowed to the old arcane master.
“It’s a pity that I can’t help you much. This common materialization skill is the only one I have that suits you.” The old arcane master hesitated for a moment, but continued while looking at Ferguillo with sympathy, “Your unique mutated bloodline ability granted you some strong abilities others could not obtain. At the same time, it’s also the biggest obstacle to your future growth. Because, despite the rarity of those powerful abilities from the Dragons, it has accumulated since the Era of the War with Dragons. But your bloodline is completely mutated from the foundation of House Baratheon’s Storm Dragon bloodline. It could be said that over the thousands of years, mutated bloodlines like yours only amounted to one or two in the entire Doraster. Your bloodline cannot learn or master most powerful forbidden skills. Even the most knowledgeable Draconic Scholars could only create a few powerful arcane skills in their entire lifespan.You are not such a researcher, so you also cannot create powerful arcane skills.”
“Hence......” After pausing for a moment, the old arcane master gazed at Ferguillo, and sincerely suggested with a stronger tone, “What you need to do from now on is to search for arcane skills you can train...... Some arcane skills come with flaws but are still useful. While normal arcane masters may not be bothered, you must not be picky.”
“I understand.”
Ferguillo’s eyes sparkled with unusual light.
His future cultivation path was already clear in his eyes.
To him, even if he couldn’t find a suitable arcane skill like the Mind’s Eye, following the old arcane master and listening to his teachings over the past days was already worth the time.
......
Late night, under the starry sky, Ferguillo and Wilde laid on the balcony of a training hall after completely exhausting themselves in the training.
Watching the sky filled with twinkling stars, Wilde blew at his hair and said, “I wonder what kind of progress that Ayrin has made now.”
“Their progress is probably something we have to work hard and chase after......” Ferguillo grinned and replied.
“Hey, Ferguillo. Are you still there? Come here if you are.”
At that moment, a displeased voice called from outside of that training hall.
Ferguillo and Wilde were momentarily stunned.
That voice seemed to belong to Berryn, the arcane master from Clan Tarly, whom they had met at Fallen Shadow Valley.
He was an arcane master on par with Donna, and they weren’t familiar with him. He was truly an uninvited guest.
What did he come for?
