Chapter 99: Spiritual Attack (1/2)

Early in the morning, Alex woke up from his cultivation. He was tired from yesterday's auction, so he had decided to just cultivate for the night.

He opened his status to check his current Qi. He had about 1.6 million Qi right now. If he wanted to, he could easily break through to the Bone Tempering 9th Realm. But, that would be bad for his foundation as his cultivation base would be hugely destabilized.

The further one went, the worse it would be. He logged out to get some breakfast and came back. Just as he logged back in, his master arrived as well.

'Huh? Are we going somewhere today too?' he wondered.

”Come, it's time for our lesson.” She said as she walked into a room that was not the alchemy room. Alex was more surprised now.

”Master, weren't we done with lessons? At least, until I was able to turn 50% of my current Qi into True Qi?” he asked.

”I am not here to teach you alchemy today. I'm here to teach you about the basic knowledge every cultivator should have, that you certainly don't.”

”Let's start with language…” Ma Rong went on to teach him how to read the language for about 2 hours. She was confident he could learn it in two hours with his superior memory and mental strength.

In two hours, Alex was good, if not better than most of the cultivators out there in reading the language.

”Alright, take out that old book. Let's see if you can translate that book.” She said.

Alex nodded and brought out Heaven's impact book. Ma Rong looked at the book and asked, ”See if you can read it now that you know it's a language.”

He tried to read it, but he couldn't understand a single word in the book. To him, they were just another piece of paper with scribbles on it.

”I can't master. I can't read it.” He said.

”Hmm… didn't you say you read the introduction page?” she asked.

”Oh, that. I didn't exactly read it. It's more like after I look over it, the information just comes to my mind.” He said.

Ma Rong frowned a bit. The book had an unknown origin, meaning if anyone could read these books, they might be able to use abilities not yet seen in the Crimson Empire. ”Alright then, did you learn it?”

”Well, I did learn it, but…” he trailed off.

”But what? Is this not a technique? Is this something else?” she asked.

”Oh, no. This is a technique. It's only that I couldn't use it at all since I didn't have a target to practice on. So, I still don't know exactly what it does, only that it uses spiritual sense to attack another person's mind.”

”Hmm…” Ma Rong contemplated for a moment and said, ”Alright, attack me.”
