Chapter 235: Training (b)

"This feels like battle energy but I can apply it externally rather than only internally. This effect itself is comparable to a high-rank battle master. I wonder how strong my fist cloaked in mana is," Whittaker was amazed to feel a huge amount of power in his fist.

He felt as if he could smash a boulder with his fist.

He exhaled and with a low grunt, squatted down and slammed his fist on the ground.

Boom!

The ground cracked under Whittaker's fist, forming a medium-sized crater formed and spider-like web cracks spread from the crater.

"This is too powerful," Whittaker said.

"It's too early to be amazed. This is an entirely new power system and it closely relates to magical beasts." Elder Zachary said, "There is a lot of things that we don't know about mana channels and the uses of this power system is boundless. But I will continuously conduct experiments to find out all its uses."

Currently, Zachary and Whittaker have opened all the mana channels in their body, and they can freely control their mana and were able to let mana gush out of their body. However, Zachary considered that this was just the first step. To master the "new power system", he needed to conduct a lot of research.

"I will count on you for that." Whittaker had complete trust in Elder Zachary. He believed that it won't take long for him to make various breakthroughs in the field of mana channels and advance the new power system.

"Let's talk about your training. Only two months are left before the first exam in Frost Fall Academy. From today, you will be training in the new power system and the sword, these puppets will help train you as I am too old to move." Zachary hurled two mechanical teddy bears on the ground and added: "You can activate them yourself by using mana or battle energy. The one with pink is based on a mage and can use magic while the other one is based on a battle master and can wield all sorts of melee weapons."

"I will give it a try, right away," Whittaker activated the two teddy bears and started training.

Every morning, he would wake up early in the morning, just as the sun rises. Then, Whittaker would head to the royal kitchen to train in the phoenix rebirth cooking technique. He would then eat breakfast before starting his training with Elder Zachary.

The training lessons were different every few days, as Zachary would find a breakthrough in the new power system every few days, and train Whittaker in it.

At first, the morning training consisted of cloaking the entire body with pure mana and fighting with the teddy bears, but later, Zachary and Nina found out that this training helped to increase the amount of mana in his mana channel. With a closer look at Whittaker's body, it was found out that his mana channels have expanded.

The reason behind the expansion of mana channels was continuous exhaustion!

This led to an increase in the intensity of his training.

His training included running several laps around the palace while using pure mana to enhance his bodily strength. Then he would complete the second course, which consisted of lifting boulders, pushing huge rocks with ten to fifty times the gravity, and kicking and punching. All the while using mana in the mana channels.

After the first few hours of training like a crazy maniac, Whittaker would then practice his sword skills.

"I have very limited knowledge when it comes to the sword, but I had many friends who were blessed with a sword-type class weapon, and I know for a fact that mindlessly swinging a sword a thousand times is not as useful as swinging a sword only once, but with a reason. Every time you slash, you must have a reason to use the sword."

Zachary would oversee all of his training, and during the training, he would often comment and advise Whittaker.

Under Zachary's guidance, Whittaker slowly and steadily mastered the art of the sword and gained a wide understanding of what it means to be a swordmaster. Plus, he was also becoming proficient in the new power system. His mana channels could store more than 3000 units of pure mana.

After the experiments disguised as compulsory training in which Whittaker voluntarily participated every day, he would go on to train his various professions and end the day after meditating for hours in the mana and soul force meditation techniques.

This training routine continued for weeks, in the cycle of training and rest.

Time flew by and months passed away.

Fourth month of the chrysanthemum Goddess!

"This is the latest use of the new power system." Elder Zachary said while cloaking a piece of rock with pure mana. "By shrouding an object with pure mana, it can be strengthened. The amount of strengthening depends on how much mana is used. I call this method hardening."

This was a huge discovery. Because Mana inside the mana pool can only be used to perform pure-mana spells or command the spellbook to perform elemental spells. Moreover, there wasn't a pure mana spell that strengthened an object.

"I already found about it a few hours ago," Whittaker said, he immediately picked up a normal rock from the ground and applied hardening to it. Then, he threw it away as fast as he could.

Whoosh!

The normal stone moved through the air like a missile before hitting a tree.

Boom!

With a resounding reverberation, the thick tree trunk shattered and the tree crashed on the ground as if it was chopped by an indomitable sharp sword. Meanwhile, the normal stone crumbled into fine dust.

The amazing fact was that only a normal rock was used to shatter the thick trunk of an ancient tree.

Whittaker guilty smiled and said, "I didn't mean to break it. I am still not familiar with the hardening method and accidentally used more mana than required."

He didn't want to break the tree. It was an ancient tree that grew up devouring mana. It was really pricey to grow even one, but Zachary palace had thousands of them.

"It doesn't matter. I guess you already know that the hardening method follows the same principle as bodily strength-enhancing method but there is a wide difference."
