17 Origin Path Training Method (1/2)
The next sub-quest in the Main Chain Quest was as depressing as the previous one to Yale.
”Reach 1-star in the Origin Path. Reward: Battle Skill and Magic Skill.”
Yale already expected that kind of quest, in normal circumstances reaching the ten points in each stat just before his tenth birthday would already be very good, so it was normal that the next sub-quest was to reach the 1-star realm.
Yale closed the Quest Menu and focused on revising the Origin Path Training Method he obtained as a reward from the previous sub-quest.
The Origin Path Training method was way more difficult than a training method from the Magus Path or the Warrior Path.
Yale obtained training methods to become a Magus or a Warrior from his sister, they were the top quality training methods in the Nacesai Academy, and since Yale saved Ange's life, the Academy approved of letting him have a copy of those to study.
Of course, Yale didn't need them as he would be practicing the Origin Path so the method to use would be the Origin Path Training Method.
However, those top-quality methods were a good cover for the Origin Path. Officially Yale would be dual training those methods, after all, anything related to the Origin Path shouldn't be made public.
The training method for the Warrior Path focused on stimulating the physical body to generate Inner Qi and use it to enhance the body and use Battle Skills.
On the other hand, the training method for the Magus Path focused on absorbing the energy from the world, refining it and then use it as one's magical energy to cast Magic Skills, in popular words, spells.
However, the Origin Path worked in a different way.
Once he had fully memorized the training method and had turned ten, then Yale's body would automatically create a strand of Origin Qi. That strand should be circulated in his body, enhancing it, and at the same time, that strand would merge with the world's energy and slowly transform it into another strand of Origin Qi.
The Origin Path had factors from the other two paths, but the difficulty was much higher, transforming the world's energy into Origin Qi was more difficult than simply turning it into magic energy. And simply enhancing the body wouldn't increase the strength of the Origin Qi like the Inner Qi.
However, the quality of the Origin Qi was much higher, even if Yale had less Origin Qi than the opponent's Inner Qi or magical energy it wouldn't matter.
Furthermore, the same Origin Qi could be used for both Magic Skills or Battle Skills, making it easier to use combined techniques.
Dual practitioners tend to combine Battle Skills with spells to increase their battle prowess, but combining two different kinds of energy was hard. On the other hand, with the Origin Qi, it would be easy to combine them.
Yale postponed studying the Origin path Training Method as he first wanted to do a proper burial for the Frost Wolf, he wanted to avoid attracting other beasts and letting them feast on the Frost Wolf corpse.
Yale started to dig, and at some point, the small wolf started to help him, they wanted to dig a deep hole, so they needed a lot of time to do it.
Some beasts tried to attack them at that time, but all of them ended a meal to Yale, and the little wolf, the most powerful ones were only 1-star monsters, and they couldn't evade Yale's deadly arrows.
After offering a proper burial for the Frost Wolf and covering the hole, Yale bowed again to the already deceased Frost Wolf.
After that, Yale started to study the Origin Path Training Method next to the tomb and the little cub. Memorizing that training method was difficult to even a bookworm like Yale, but it was nothing that he couldn't do, especially with all the time he had before his birthday.
Living was easy those days as there was no need to go hunting, the beasts who tried to attack them were enough to eat, and Yale didn't feel like going to hunt for the Dynamic Quest as he put all his concentration in memorizing the Origin Path Training Method.
Yale needed about two weeks to memorize it fully. And after that, he couldn't do anything more until his birthday regarding the Origin Path.
Yale decided to go hunting to get better rewards from the Dynamic Quest. After all, he couldn't just remain seated in the same spot until his birthday.
When Yale went hunting the little cub followed, and Yale did nothing to stop it, the little cub wouldn't survive without Yale so taking it with him while going to hunt was the best option.
Since he obtained the Frost Wolf's Legacy, Yale tried to communicate with the little wolf, due to Yale's recently obtained bloodline he should be able to, but the little wolf was still too small.
Yale hoped to be able to communicate with it before having to leave the Beast Trial, but he wasn't an expert in the communication among beasts so he didn't know how much time a cub would need to be able to communicate.
Yale and the little wolf hunted for some months, they hunted a lot of 1-star monsters and evaded the stronger ones.
Yale felt confident in killing a 2-star beast using the Bloodline Force, but he wasn't confident to finish it without wounds while protecting the little wolf during the battle.
