45 Time Skip (1/2)
---
Two months passed like a blink of an eye. Many things happened after the night when Luna revealed her true background to Raven.
For starters, the Field Trip of the students continued and finished according to the schedule. After the failed schemes of the Black Curtain Guild, nothing happened afterwards, thus allowing the kids to resume their sight seeing tour in peace.
The criminals were already executed after the interrogation. The people who supervised the whole thing used many ways to extract every single information to them and killed them afterwards by the orders of the Crown Prince. And because the criminals were apprehended in a secretive manner, the whole thing didn't blew up, which caused the Black Curtain Guild to suffer yet another loss on the hands of the Royal Army, or so they thought really.
After the Field Trip, Raven and his crew went back to their usual training, but with renewed vigor this time around. Raven's friends had a rather rude awakening during that time. They caught a glimpse of how dangerous the kingdom truly is no matter how peaceful it looked like on the surface.
They were slapped with the fact on just how irrelevant they truly were no matter how grand their aspirations truly were. They felt so confident about their new found advantage that they forgot just how weak they truly were.
Now they understood why Raven pushed himself to brink over and over again no matter how painful the process were. Now they understood were his motivations came from, and they found it extremely laughable that they were already thinking of resting and/or giving up while Raven himself never uttered a word of complain.
The criminals they met could easily slap them to death easily if it weren't for Raven's help.
Upon their return, they were changed people, and they proved it by working extremely hard on training. This gratified Raven greatly, since it was also one of his plans to let them realize that the peace that this kingdom shows is nothing but a fat lie, and if they truly were to inherit the mantle of their parents, or they make a name for themselves, then eventually they will deal with this.
Raven saw how they trained so hard. Their timetables were updated and the group riled up the intensity of their training by a whole bunch, good thing Raven was there to supervise or else they will end up destroying themselves with this heavy duty training.
And their efforts were rewarded handsomely. Their cultivations practically soared that they caught up with Raven, two days after the Field Trip was over.
Raven also modified their training and made several more tort-Training Creations for them to play with. Now all of them are firmly standing at the peak of Organ Refining Realm.
Just like the name suggests, Organ Refining is all about strengthening the Inner Organs of a person. This is achieved through rigorous circulation of energies throughout the body which cleanses them and improve their functions.
The main targets of this stage are: lungs, heart, liver, brain, eyes and so on.
As an example, all of them could now hold their breaths underwater for thirty minutes before needing to resurface their respiratory systems were enhanced by that much. Their overall endurance were also extended due to their heart enhancement, since it now pumps blood throughout their bodies vigorously and let them do more work than usual. As for enhancing their livers, this basically raised their immunity to some harmful substances to a significant amount. Enhancing their brain allowed their memories to the be sharper and doubled their thought process. Enhancing their eyes gave them better vision overall.
Speaking of eyes, Raven actually encountered something surprising as he enhanced it. His eye technique unexpectedly had a breakthrough!
The [Divine Overseer's Gaze], the eye technique that is given to the person who inherited the Ancestral Crown, had several stages which are mostly referred to as 'Iris Releases' and it has a total of five stages according to what Raven achieved so far. The stages are: Psychometric, Color, Journey, Survey, and Marking Iris Releases.
The Psychometric Iris Release is the beginning stage, where a golden corona will appear in the pupils upon activation of the technique. It allows Raven to see things in a more detailed manner and could even zoom in at some certain range.
As for the stage he's currently in, the Color Iris Release, the golden corona in his eyes will now be present at all times, allowing him to use the Psychometric Iris Release without any having to spend any energy. Aside from this, when Raven activates the Color Iris Release, his pupils will be colored by some sort of glossy film. This is basically an Energy Vision, technically he could already use this before but he had to really push himself to the maximum degree to the point where he would damage his eye meridians, but now that he reached this stage, it would be simpler for him but with the cost of energy.
Raven could now see energy in his surroundings and identify them by their colors, hence the name of the Iris Release. Normal energies, like the ones they absorbed in the air, are usually colored as pale blue. If these energies were then used as a battle art, then it would turn in a deeper blue color in his vision. Blood energies are red, spiritual energies are white, sinister arts like curses, hex, and etc. are black. So far, these are all of the the things that he could see.
