Chapter 32 - Back to Civilization part 1 (1/2)
And so Hei started training to fly to like Iron Man. Seeing as how he had already reached Sky Profound Realm, he could use the Profound Floating Technique to fly so the rocket boosters would function more as a speed boost and for great maneuverability in the air. But because he still hadn't unlocked the Booster Gear's Balance Breaker, there was no way for him to fly at supersonic speed without the wind ripping his face apart. So in the meantime he was forced to keep his speed at faster than the Profound Floating Technique but not so fast that the wind would be a problem. When he started this training, Ddraig was asking why he was using the flames to propel himself forward.
”Partner, I noticed that you have been using those Phoenix flames like rocket boosters. Are you seriously trying to become a human fighter jet or something?” asked Ddraig
”Yeah, I am. There is this new thing that I'm practicing in order to fly at supersonic speeds, just like a fighter jet. Right now I am mainly practicing maneuverability and how to keep steady at high speeds. But in order to go really supersonic, I need to get the Scale Mail.” Said Hei
”Hey, can somebody explain to me what a fighter jet is or what rocket boosters are? I am not from an Earth as the two of you are, so can one you explain what you're talking about?” asked Jasmine after hearing Hei and Ddraig talk about Earth thing like fighter jets and rocket boosters.
”Don't worry about that for now Jasmine. After we get out of here, I will get you those same books that I got for the Phoenix Spirit. I figured that there are gonna be a lot of things you won't know about seeing as how you are not from an Earth like Ddraig and I are.” Said Hei as he went back to his training.
And so during the last week of his stay, Hei was training to fly like Iron Man. At first it took a while before he was able to even lift of the ground. By concentrating the flames to act like afterburners instead of the messy flames that usually came out he was able to get some thrust. In the beginning he had a lot problems controlling the thrust and the direction. He would use the Profound Floating Technique to lift off and then use the flames for thrust and promptly hit the ground shortly after. It took him 6 days of practicing for 14 hours a day before he finally mastered the technique and now he was able to fly around like a suit less Iron Man. On the last day, after having achieved everything he set out to do, Hei was just lying around just being bored.
”Hey, Phoenix Spirit!” called Hei out into the void, shortly thereafter two golden eyes appear in the darkness.
”Ahh…. Challenger, how have you been this past month?” said the Phoenix Spirit.
”I've been good this past month. I just wanted to ask you how long before that door opens?”
”You still have 3 hours left before that door opens.” Said the Phoenix Spirit
”How the time flies when you're constantly busy.” Mused Hei to himself before he spoke with the Phoenix Spirit again.
”So I was wondering. Have you read all the books that I gave you?”
”Why yes I did. And I must say, I am beyond fascinated with your universe! After I got over the fact that your universe has no Profound Energy to speak off, I was more curious to know how that was possible. And there upon I stumbled upon perhaps the greatest of all knowledge. 'The Big Bang Theory' and how your entire universe was created from a single point of infinite density and mass called the 'singularity'. After diving into that subject I came across such incredibly fascinating theories such as General Relativity, quantum mechanics, the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation and how it is the leftover light that originated from the very first light that came into being in your universe. I have also read about DNA, how it the code of life itself and how everything that makes someone what they are, is all written down in their DNA. Everything about this is absolutely fascinating! And I truly can never thank you enough for sharing this knowledge with me.” Said the Phoenix Spirit enthusiastically giving Hei a smile of great satisfaction across his face.
”You're welcome. And you are right. Astronomy truly is the most interesting subject of all. Even back in my previous life I would go the library or go on the internet to look up things about astronomy. I could never get enough of learning about the universe and the most extreme objects in it.” Said Hei.
'Well now that I just have three hours left before I can finally get out, it's time for me to use that Character Summoning Lottery Ticket'
['Hey JARVIS, I want to use that Character Summoning Lottery Ticket. But before I do that, I wanted to ask you. Is there a limit to the character that can be summoned or can I summon anyone?']
[”There is no limit to who can be summoned with the Character Summoning Lottery Ticket. The process is completely random and could very well summon someone as powerful as the Omni-King Grand Zeno or the Living Tribunal. But seeing as how those characters are much stronger than the Ancestral God, there is no way for them to be summoned. The limit to those who can be summoned are those who are as strong as the Ancestral God.”]
'Ohh thank god. Having Grand Zeno or the Living Tribunal or anyone of those guys would have a f.u.c.k.i.n.g disaster. But this could still mean that the Gods of Destruction could be summoned. Let's hope that doesn't happen.'
['Alright JARVIS. Before you use that ticket, I first want to buy those same books that I got for the Phoenix Spirit and give them to Jasmine. And after that, let's use that ticket']
[”Very well sir. Seeing as how you have already bought those books before they are now free of charge. I will immediately give them to Lady Jasmine.”]
{Meanwhile inside the Sky Poison Pearl.}
Jasmine was sitting on her queen sized bed just eating some potato ch.i.p.s when all of a sudden a mountain of books appear in front of her bed startling her. After calming down she start looking at those books and soon realizes that they are the same books that Hei had gotten for the Phoenix Spirit. And so with a big smile on her face she immediately starts opening one of those and starts reading it.
[”Here you go Lady Jasmine. 4529 books on various subjects from Earth. Enjoy reading them.”]
”Thank you JARVIS! And give my thanks to Hei as well.”
{Back outside now.}
