Chapter 164 Power leveling 8 (2/2)
”....that looks neat?”
his mother gave a wry smile and shook her head and said
”this is merely the first level, try it for yourself”
”sure...”
Mars closed his eyes and focused on his claws and soon his claws also began glowing slightly while they heated up quickly
”good Mars, this is the first level known as ember, now you need to light the 'fire' with those embers in order to reach the next level”
”light... the fire?”
”you should be able to feel it”
”...”
Mars focused on his claws but even after a long time he was unable to feel the so called 'fire' his mother was talking about, at this moment it looked like his mother suddenly remembered something and quickly said
”while the embers is in your claws the real fire is lit within you bones”
”within my.... bones?”
”yes try to feel it”
Mars felt quiet as he tried to light the so called fire for sometime it was not until he was about to give up that he suddenly felt something
'is this... my marrow?'
Marsthen tired to transfer some of the heat from his claws to his bone marrow and suddenly it was like a fire was lit in his bones as his heartbeat suddenly speed up and the surrounding seemed to slow down by a lot before suddenly he felt a bone spitting pain as the world around him returned to normal, just as he was about to ask his mother if this was it she spoke before he could
”you lasted 6 seconds.... that's pretty bad, again”
Mars gave a sigh and tried to ignite his bone marrow again, and thus time passed bit by bit as the time Mars could stay 'alight' gradually increased over time...
A whole week later Mars laid on the cave floor and slept, suddenly he opened his eyes and sat up and looked around right in front of him where the lesser fire dragon that had its head down on the cave floor while it looked at him with interest

”...what is it?”
the lesser fire dragon rolled around so it lay on its back while it still stared at Mars, it also plopped out its split tongue at the side of its mouth
'....are you a dog or are you a mighty dragon?'
Mars walked over and patted the lesser fire dragon on its nose while he asked his mother
”why is he here anyway?”
”well because hes my child”
”so he's my little brother?”
”you could say that... anyways he's only 600 years old so he isn't very mature yet”
”...I see”
”well anyways, come here Mars”
”yes mother”
Mars walked over and stood in front of his mother and waited for her command
”ignite your bones”
”yes mother”
Mars did as he was asked and ignited his bone marrow and about 2 minutes later he felt the rebound and was forced to stop
”2 minutes.... that's good enough for now”
”so are we moving on to the next part?”
”yes... you have 1 day to bring me 3 magic beasts cores from magic beasts over class 10”
”....sure”
”and you are only allowed to use your claws to hunt them”
”...seriously?”
”yes so leave your swords behind”
”...yes mother, by the way what happens if I fail?”
”then you don't have to come back”
”...I see”
Mars gave a sigh, this mother of his really was spartan, his mother then tilted her head to the side and asked
”what are you waiting for Mars time's ticking”
”...right then I'll be right back mother”
”see you Mars”
Mars turned and left the cave and breathed in the fresh jungle air before he narrowed his eyes and looked around for a bit before he kicked off the ground and began running into the jungle, then he began thinking while the jungle sipped by
'still to hunt 3 magic beasts over class 10 in less than 24 hours should be doable... the only thing is I don't have Victoria with me so I can't rely on her superior senses...let's just hope I don't run into another scale boar...'
Mars then activated his energy sense and began hunting, but alas, out of the 14 magic beast he found during the first 4 hours none of them were over class 10, with the closet being class 9 like Victoria, Mars gave a sigh as he absorbed the energy from the last core and looked around
'this isn't working... but I don't know what else to do...'
Mars had kept himself to the center of the island and circled almost half his mothers territory looking for high class magic beasts, just as Mars was about to give up hope he felt something watching him and quickly transformed his hands and struck out with his claws
*CLANG*
Mars just managed to repel the sneak attack as a smile formed on his face
”bingo!”
then Mars activated [Instant movement] and appeared in front of a random tree before he struck out with his claws and when he did the feeling of tearing flesh transferred up his arm as a steel chameleon suddenly became visible as it let out its dying breath and fell down the tree
”that's one down, two to go!”
