8 Spirit Entity (2/2)

”Explain please.” Mark scratched his head in confusion.

”Well, how should I start.” Raven pondered. ”Okay so to start it off, the way on how our elders measure our talents are completely wrong. Utter bullshit even in my opinion.”

Their eyes bulged upon hearing this claim. They started to get nervous specially when they heard his follow up explanation.

”Don't you guys find it weird? The Final Haven Empire had been standing for a very long time, and countless of people had their talents tested and had walked the path of Knighthood before us. If what they say is true, that 80% of our population had Red Colored talent, then how could've those remaining 20% of people defended the entire kingdom that's being attacked not only by beast horde but by the Black Curtain Guild as well?”

”If their methods about measuring out talents are correct, then the kingdom won't be able to stand for as long as it did today. Am I right?”

Paul and Mark's pupils constricted sharply when they mulled over what he said. They have never thought about it before but his words do make sense.

The population of the kingdom might be millions in number but compared to the size of the beast horde and their strength, it's just a dream for them hold out for this long. It had to be known that a beast horde that is numbered between 500,000-750,000 is considered a small sized horde, and there are multiple attacks each year.

While there might some tools that aid them in battle, there's just too many of them. Add the fact that they have to be on guard for the Black Curtain Guild as well, it's really a mystery why the kingdom is still standing strong until today.

”Well we could point fingers as many times as we could but we have no proof, and it does not matter even if we know since what can we do? Our backgrounds might be impressive but it's nothing compared to the murky waters of this kingdom.”

”Anyway. Like I was saying, the methods that they use to test our talents are wrong. They shouldn't care about the color but on the Spirit Entity that forms afterwards.”

”Spirit Entity?” Paul repeated.

”Right. We humans had a long history and those who have ascended are remembered by the starry skies of the Spirit World in a form of a constellation. These constellations exists in a mysterious place which could only be reached by dreaming.”

”When a child is born, a certain constellation will brighten and give it's blessings. When that child reaches 12, it will then show on this crystal and each person has a different one.” Raven explained some more.

”So that means, the Snake-tailed Black Tortoise is my Spirit Entity?”

”And the Primal Lightning Serpent is mine?”

”Correct.” Raven nodded in agreement.

”Okay cool, but what about it? I mean what's in it for us knowing all of this?” Paul asked.

”It provides you with direction. Which means that you get to know what kind of cultivation technique you should use and what attributes you could possibly had.” While he was saying this, Raven was writing something on a piece of paper. Paul and Mark watched, confused by what he was doing.

He continued writing for a while until he used up two papers. He then handed a paper to each of them and said: ”Here, try it for yourselves.”

Paul and Mark raised their brows, they have read the contents of the paper he gave them and was even more confused. They figured that he won't do anything to harm them so they tried it anyway. They closed their eyes and followed what was written on the papers.

Then a very astonishing scene happened. Raven watched as a fierce suction of Qi appeared out of nowhere. They greedily sucked in these energies as it nourished their skin. After a while, their skin shone and Raven saw how they shed their old skins and was replaced by a new and tougher one. Raven grinned as he watched their breakthroughs.

It was then that their eyes snapped wide open. Both of them showed shocked expressions and looked at Raven who's showing at toothy grin while making a victory sign with his fingers.

”Holy...” - Paul.

”Shit...” - Mark.
