Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 92: Aura and Mana

”The thing is, I noticed how you used magic in the battle with the beasts. And then you demonstrated your swordsmanship by combining aura with mana and using the power of your element,” Alois said, looking at the couple.

Idan and Arabel stared at each other in amazement. Who would have thought that their new sword technique would be so amazing!

However, their System is amazing in itself, since it was able to give them such a gift after the ascension trial.

”Is it really that amazing to combine aura and mana?” asked Idan with interest.

”Of course, itʼs amazing!” Liam replied enthusiastically.

Then, noticing his masterʼs reproachful look, he lowered his head.

”Tell me, do you understand how mana differs from aura?” Alois asked, addressing the couple.

Idan and Arabel thought about it. What are their differences?

After a while, Idan began to express his thoughts about mana and aura: ”Mana is related to magic, spells, and the elements. At the same time, the aura is...”

While Idan was trying to find the right words, Arabel asked, ”Is the aura the energy of the Path of Mastery?”

Alois was pleasantly surprised by the coupleʼs response. Even though they were newbies, their thought process was surprisingly good, and they could distinguish between mana and aura. It seems like their master has already given them some insight into the two paths of cultivation in this world.

”Yes, as you said, mana is the basis of Path of Bloodline and Path of Magic. And the aura is the foundation of Path of Mastery,” Alois replied. ”Although it is commonly believed that the Path of Bloodline and Path of Magic are separate paths, they are fundamentally similar and closely interrelated. Some unique races that do not have a bloodline can improve on the ”Path of Magic”. At the same time, there are races that follow the Path of Bloodline but are unable to master magic.”

Alois didnʼt want to overload the couple with theory. In fact, the paths to cultivation are not as simple as many people think.

”Aura is the foundation of Path of Mastery. This is the only reliable path that can lead to a higher realm and along which the human race can cultivate.”

Alois wanted to explain to the couple that at the moment there is only one way for people like them to cultivate, and that is the ”Path of Mastery”.

Magic has not yet become the property of all mankind, and people continue to look for ways to master it.

And they donʼt even dare to dream about ”Path of Bloodline”.

”Even for members of the higher races, it is considered almost impossible to master both types of energy before reaching the higher realm. Only at this level can both energies be safely used,” Alois continued his short story.

Listening to Alois, everyone—Idan, Arabel, Nemo, Eulalia, and even Liam, his own disciple—were amazed by his enthusiasm.

Before that, Alois had always been quiet and seemed like an unsociable and boring swordsman who didnʼt like to talk much.

But now he hardly closed his mouth and was happy to share his knowledge with everyone. Although, because of his manner of telling, he could confuse them a little.

Simply put, Alois wanted to say that not everyone is able to master both energies, even the higher races find it difficult, let alone combine them.

This was the reason for Idan and Arabelʼs amazing act. They were able to combine what most creatures in this world dream of.

”All the powerful individuals in this world have this ability to combine aura with mana,” Alois claimed.

That was what he wanted to achieve, too. However, to do this, he needed to find a way to master magic. Stuck in this world, he had almost lost hope of achieving his goal.

Now, after Aloisʼ explanation, even though the couple were a little confused about the ways of this worldʼs development, they roughly realized that their System was amazing.

”Path of Bloodline”, ”Path of Magic” and ”Path of Mastery” all these amazing cultivation paths that belonged to this world were already available in their System and were waiting for their time to improve.

After briefly discussing the paths of cultivation and the coupleʼs unique abilities to combine the two energies while they were in the lower realm, the group gathered the corpses of the beasts and continued their journey to the central layer.

Soon, they encountered a second wave of beasts. This time, there was a golden-ranked beast among them.

As in the previous case, Idan and Arabel took on the beasts below the ”gold” level, while Liam volunteered to fight the ”gold” rank beast.

Eulalia and Nemo stepped forward to distract the other beasts and allow the couple to further test their skills and abilities.

This time, Alois not only watched the battle, but also began to give the couple some advice, helping them to understand their mistakes more easily.

This was mainly due to their ability to combine aura and mana, as well as the fact that they were both members of the human race, just like Alois, although they came from another world.

Just like last time, Idan and Arabel decided to use only the abilities and techniques they had already used.

Idan focused on the light spell ”Flash” and the sword technique he learned from Nemo, as well as the technique provided by the System, ”Sun Sword Style”.

Arabel, on the other hand, focused on ice and water spells. As for the sword technique, she also turned to what Nemo had taught her and the technique she had learned from the System, ”Moon Sword Style”.

The couple felt that with each new use of their aura, their control over it gradually improved.

However, they also realized that they couldnʼt use their aura often. After several applications in a row, they felt tired not only physically, but also mentally.

They were new to using aura, and Alois, noticing their fatigue, immediately warned them about the possible consequences of overexertion.

Noticing that the couple was tired and could no longer continue in the same spirit, Nemo and Eulalia quickly dealt with the remaining beasts.

When their opponents were finished, Idan and Arabel turned their attention to Liam, who had been restraining the beast all this time on the orders of his master.

As soon as the couple finished with their business, Alois gave a command to his disciple.

After receiving permission, Liam immediately released his aura and finally got into a fight with the beast.

The couple was surprised to see how Liam uses his aura in battle. Unlike them, it was obvious that Liam had a truly skillful mastery of aura control.

It was as if he was playing with a golden-ranked beast. His movements were smooth, and the aura enveloping the sword was subtle but deadly. Even under the blows of the beast, his aura did not lose its stability.

After demonstrating his high level of aura mastery to the couple, Liam quickly defeated the golden-ranked beast.

This demonstration fight using aura made a big impression on the couple. They had seen with their own eyes how skillful aura control could be. In comparison, their own aura seemed unstable: they used too much energy, which led to rapid fatigue.

What they saw inspired them, and they saw a goal they could strive for.
