24 Picking a Qi Spell (1/2)
Sofie confusedly looked towards the spiral staircase leading down to the first floor of the martial hall pagoda, as she watched Yang Meng got dragged away by elder Mei Yue.
She really wondered why Yang Meng looked like he was about to cry at any moment. Maybe he bit his tongue earlier when he answered for elder Mei Yue?
Putting whatever Yang Meng was going to do to the back of her mind, Sofie glanced over towards the 2 different sections the floor was split into. Qi spells and Weapon skills.
The things that interested Sofie the most was definitely the qi spells, so without thinking so much about it, Sofie entered the section for qi spells together with most of the new disciples. Afterall, qi spells were way cooler than weapon skills and they looked flashy!
Trying to half-heartedly convince herself that qi spells were stronger than weapon skills, Sofie started looking through the different qi spells that used fire qi.
[Fire Burst, First style of the explosion paradise series]
[Basic Fireball]
[Fire Magic Demon Spell of Destruction]
[Conjure Fire Rabbit]
[Fir…
There were a lot of different qi spells, some with a questionable name… The elders of the sect should be the once supplying the different martial art techniques… They really came up with some interesting names…
Thinking about this, Sofie did not know what she should feel, as it looked like the elders of the scorching sun sect were 'unique' in their own way.
…
As there was no time limit on how long they could stay to pick a martial art technique, at least not that she knew of, Sofie decided to take her time looking through the different martial art techniques.
For now, she had found a few martial art techniques that grabbed her interest. One of them was the qi spell [Conjure Fire Rabbit].
The qi spell was a mortal peak grade qi spell and from what Sofie found out, the different grades of martial art techniques were further split into low, mid and peak. This meant the [Conjure Fire Rabbit] qi spell Sofie found could be considered difficult, at least on her cultivation realm.
The [Conjure Fire Rabbit] qi spell would allow the one casting the qi spell to conjure a fire rabbit made of purely made out of fire qi. The fire rabbit would be able to attack an enemy and if the one who conjured it willed, explode.
Another qi spell Sofie found was [Fire Circle, Second style of basic fire mastery]. The qi spell was a higher grade than the [Conjure Fire Rabbit] qi spell and was an earth low grade qi spell. The qi spell would allow the caster to make circles of fire around either themselves, enemies or somewhere random within a certain range. The range which the qi spell could be cast would expand, as the user advanced in cultivation.
Sofie was in deep thought, as she concentrated on the different qi spells in front of her. The [Conjure Fire Rabbit] was the lowest grade of all the qi spells she found, but… but… It could conjure a cute rabbit…
This of course made it so the [Conjure Fire Rabbit] qi spell had top priority within Sofie's head…
”Ah, S-Sofie. Have you chosen a qi spell yet?” As she was thinking whether she should just pick the [Conjure Fire Rabbit] qi spell, Sofie heard a familiar voice behind her.
”N-no, I was just about to- Aaaah! W-what happened to y-you, Yang Meng…?” Sofie turned around and was met with a horrific scene. Her rival, Yang Meng, was clearly beaten black and blue by someone. Sofie could even see that he had difficulty standing up.
Who would do such a thing? W-what happened while he was gone with elder Mei Yue? D-did they get ambushed by someone?
Her mind going into full speed, Sofie tried to find out why her rival would end up in such a pathetic state. The only thing she could not think of was, who would dare do something like that inside the strongest sect on the entire island?
No matter how hard she tried to think, Sofie could not find an answer.
”Ah… You see… I fell down the stairs when I left together with e-elder Mei Yue…” scratching the back of his head, Yang Meng answered embarrassedly. Clearly not even believing what he just said.
Sofie looked up at his face closely for a few moments before she nodded a little. ”O-okay, b-but I think you should go back and rest for the day.”
