9 The Multiple Intents. (2/2)
He smirked at their confused looks, although he still wasn't looking at them.
”The reason for this is that you know too much! Ever wondered why the mortal world doesn't have flying clouds as transport? Well, there you go! So please enjoy your new home! Although you're quite lucky because your home is one of the 3 only Mortal Dao Dojos of humanity!”
Constant thunderous smacks resounded in the atmosphere as sonic booms rang out due to the aura of both of them surging with a brutal intensity. The numerous contestants felt like mere ants whilst the sector lords had solemn expressions on their faces.
The 2 men thought for a second before raising their hands and bringing them down again in a simple movement. In response to this, a fierce roar shook the very foundation of the platforms, when a gaping tear screeched through space and forced out an incomparably massive limb.
It was impossible to tell what it was, but just one of the scales was enough to squash all of them to a meat paste. It was massive, massive to the point that the limb became the sky. It was unknown how it did this, but the limb creaked with a slight turn and caused numerous pillars of light to cover each and every platform.
The men clasped their hands at the limb with a deep respect before speaking for the last time.
”You will now be transported to your own training area by the guardian beast. You have a month before the tournament officially starts!”
Nobody could even breath before the sight of the limb, and it seemed that the stronger you are the more intense this feeling felt. It was only Su Min who felt a trembled hymn come from this book, which in turn caused the intent in his body to shake as well. With this shake, the intent seemed to collapse in on itself, yet before Su Min could gasp, it reformed on the spot.
'What?'
What was strange was that the intent seemed to have changed its nature. In fact, the intent no longer emitted energy outwards but directly towards Su Min's mind. It was unknown how, but Su Min felt the pressure coming from the beast lighten to an immense degree, making him able to breath.
A shocked expression overtook him as the intent continued to bestow him with a passive calmness that made it so that no matter what, he would remain calm to a certain degree.
Su Min took a closer look and saw the same strand envelop his body, but within this strand was something new. He saw two symbols engraved in the intent; one of a figure screaming in agony and the other of a beast roaring with unyielding eyes. It seemed that the screaming figure represented his pain intent whilst the beast represented this newly formed one.
Su Min also felt an instinctual control coming from these two symbols, where he could, with but a thought, change it back to the pain intent and vice versa. It was like he had two modes for it.
'The intent doesn't just give pain?'
The only vague answer he got from this change was that the martial book had everything to do with this, but he wasn't able to find an answer why.
'I first need to force my body to become strong enough to win this tournament...'
