Death… And Me

3049  Give It a Try

Rean smiled from the back while seeing that. ”He is like that, but you can trust him. He was the one who concocted the Blood Reformation Pill. By the way, have you tested your talent already using the Werdlem Empire System?”

Foliana shook her head as she circulated her Spiritual Energy and Elemental Affinity. ”I thought since people already knew my talent wasnʼt anything impressive, it would be better to keep it like that. I donʼt need any extra attention than I already have.”

”Smart,” Roan gave a simply comment and continued his work.

Reanʼs forging went through the day, and he eventually asked Foliana to come forward and add her Red Lightning to the mix. Nonetheless, the first three weapons Rean made for her ended up in failure. Well, not exactly failure. Any of these Dual Blades would definitely be considered top equipment in this planet. Itʼs just that they didnʼt meet Reanʼs expectations, so he melted them away again.

It wasnʼt until the end of the second day that Rean finally got a satisfying result. He raised the Dual Blades and made a few moves. He also poured his Spiritual Energy inside, the the weapon gathered the Lightning and Fire Elements on the surroundings. Thanks to Folianaʼs own Red Lightning, the weapon was capable of summoning the same thing.

”Hum... not too shabby, I believe,” Rean commented.

Rean threw the Dual Blades to Foliana, which she caught with care. Immediately, she could feel the incredible level of the weapon as her own bloodline seemed to react to it. Once she poured her Spiritual Energy, both her bodyʼs Red Lightning and the surrounding elements seemed to stir as the Red Lightning danced around the blades. Roan, who had been sitting and working on the new cultivation technique in his mind, suddenly got up and asked. ”Attack me with your Red Lightning and the new Dual Blades.”

”Eh?!” Foliana was taken aback.

Rean quickly put his arm around her shoulders. ”If you hurt him, I will give you a bonus. If you kill him, I can even think about helping you finding a husband.”

Folianaʼs face went red. ”I donʼt need any of that!”

”You two are wasting my time. Just attack me already!” Roan urged.

Rean patted her head. ”Donʼt worry. Even if your cultivation was two realms higher, you would still not be able to hurt him.” Right after, he returned to the forge and took out a few other weapons he got from the inheritance. He promised to make one weapon for each cultivation realm, after all.

Foliana took a deep breath and shot forward, slashing her two blades at the same time in an X manner. The attack hit Roanʼs chest, opening two deep cuts. Above all, the Red Lightning entered his body and tried to cause havoc.

”Ah!” Foliana was scared out of her mind. ”Yo- You said he wouldnʼt get hurt!”

Rean glanced at that and didnʼt feel the least bit concerned. ”Perhaps he will die for real. Great job, Foliana!” He finished giving her a thumbs up.

”JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE YOUR BROTHER?!” Foliana felt helpess.

Roan, on the other hand, completely ignored those two and focused his senses on the Red Lightning. He wasnʼt working on her cultivation for the sake of the technique alone. He was also exchanging elements and yin-yang energies with Rean, trying to give birth to their own Red Lightning. As for the damage to his body... Well, he couldnʼt care less about that at the moment.

A minute later, Roan opened his eyes, and his Dark Element surged forward. It enveloped the Red Lightning and corroded it completely. It disappeared from his body as if it had never been there before. Finally, he used Reanʼs Instant Recovery skill and recovered from the injuries in a flash.

”Hey, idiot. I think we can give it a try. You go first since you can control the Yang Energy better,” Roan spoke with a serious expression.

Immediately, Rean received a huge bunch of memories regarding Roanʼs findings during this last day. Rean closed his eyes and concentrated on those memories, making them his own and understand the thought process behind them all. ”I guess I understand. Just give me a minute. Iʼm almost over with the second set of Dual Blades.”

Rean finished the second pair sometime later and threw them to Foliana. She could use the blades, but she couldnʼt bring much of their power out since her cultivation wasnʼt high enough. The first blades were definitely better, but once she breakthrough into the next level, those blade were bound to be perfect.

Rean ignored her and brought his Black Star out. He took a deep breath, and his Light Element gathered. Then, fire Element followed, and finally, Lightning came forth. Those three elements are all Yang Based, so Rean was indeed the best subject to test them.

The Fire and Lightning Elements then got together, but they didnʼt become Folianaʼs Red Lightning. They mixed without issues. Itʼs just that Folianaʼs Red Lightning wasnʼt a mix. It was an entire Element of its own that used Lightning and Fire.

Roan observed that through the twinsʼ connection and shared his thoughts as Rean adjusted the ratings. Slowly but certainly, the mixed Fire and Lightning Elements began to change. The fire gradually disappeared, and the blue Lightning slowly changed into a red color.

While all that happened, Rean Light Element boosted both Elements. His Yang Energy made the connection, and Roanʼs thoughts got got Rean to get used faster.

Foliana looked at that and felt shocked. It was feeble, but she absolutely could feel her Familyʼs Red Lightning inside Reanʼs Elements. ʼIʼve never seen anyone other than those from my bloodline to be able to use Red Lightning Before...ʼ

Finally, Rean stopped and shook his head. ”Thatʼs as far as I can go. Persisting will bring no further results.”

Roan nodded, agreeing with his view. ”It is fine. Iʼve never been the type who believes in a magical first attempt that works. When it comes to skill and techniques, it is all about trial and error. Besides, the results were better than I expected. I can just refine the process now.”

Roan then turned to Foliana. ”You, come here.”

Foliana approached, still impressed by everything. Roan then touched her forehead and sent a stream of information into her mind. ”Hereʼs the first version of your Red Lightning Cultivation Technique. Give it a try.”

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
