The Copy Mage

Chapter 140: Friendly Spar Part 1

Both Milo and Damian had digested the large amounts of food that they had eaten and warmed up after training for a short while and practising and few different skills and techniques. As they looked at each other, both of them clearly wanted to spar each other and after they both agreed, they prepared for their spar.

Damian knew about Milo's ability while Milo knew about Damian's Maxwell Fire Soul Spirit, and after they recovered to their peak states, they stood opposite each other in the centre of the private training room.

Activating his Fire Soul Spirit, Damian with the power of a rank 4 Internal Cultivator and rank 1 External Cultivator, his power was incredible especially for his age and size, while Milo was similar in terms of cultivation level.

They were unsure what method each other were using and didn't know much about how each other cultivated, but they both appreciated the distance and were always competing with each other.

One's cultivation level didn't dictate the outcome of a battle and Damian and Milo were prime examples for that as they could face opponents that were at a higher LVL than them because of their combat prowess and abilities.

If the gap in cultivation level was too large, it would be very hard to overcome it, but if one's foundations were shaky and not strong enough, they would be weaker than cultivators at the same level as them and would also find it very difficult to progress.

Damian with his current talent grading could surpass the Mortal Cultivation Level and felt as though he was close to finding out how that was possible, but if a cultivator had an F graded talent, they wouldn't be able to progress past the Mortal Cultivation Level and would progress slowly in general.

"Are you ready?" asked Damian after activating his Maxwell Fire Soul Spirit.

"Yes" answered Milo as the familiar aura of the boar beast appeared around him.

"Can we use weapons?" asked Damian who had his bow strapped over his shoulder and wanted to use it.

"Yes, and you can use any skills you want. We just need to try not to heavily injure each other" affirmed Milo who was curious to see who would win if they both went all out.

Damian could see that the Boar Beast Bloodline Transformation had become too weak for his cultivation level so he could only display the power of a rank 3 beast, but if he reinforced his body with more Internal Energy and used skills and techniques, he would still be a force to be reckoned with.

While Milo who hadn't seen Damian fight seriously since taking down the three students that had challenged Damian for their residence, and also hadn't seen how skilled he was with a bow in a serious fight, so was being careful.

In the private training room that was enclosed and quite small for a all-out battle, Damian was disadvantaged with a bow and didn't have much space to make distance between him and Milo.

However, if Damian could quickly fire a shot at Milo before reached him to fight him in close combat, he would have an advantage over Milo when they did engage in close combat.

"3, 2, 1, Start" they both chanted in unison.

As soon as they both said start, Milo dashed towards Damian at his full speed that was surprisingly fast and the way he charged towards him was just like a boar beast would.

The Boar Beast Bloodline Transformation seemed to have been completed and perfected by Milo through constant practice. Although he became more hunched and gained a monstrous appearance after activating it, he seemed to be in complete control and wasn't mentally affected by its activation, allowing him to gain its power, while retaining his common sense.

Damian withdrew his bow and jumped backwards to create more space between himself and Milo, then fired an Explosive Fire Arrow at the ground where Milo was about to go on next.

Milo was amazed by Damian's ability to create arrows out of thin air, but found it strange that Damian completely missed him and hit the ground before him.

However, upon hitting the ground, the Explosive Fire Arrow formed a small explosion that pushed Milo back and shocked him as he didn't expect that a single arrow could have that much explosive power.

That was exactly what Damian wanted and since Milo was stunned for an instant and pushed back, he could prepare more arrows and fired multiple other Explosive Fire Arrows at Milo, wanting to finish the battle quickly, knowing that it would be hard to face Milo in close combat.

Milo sensing the arrows coming towards him knew that at the short distance that he was from Damian he wouldn't be able to dodge the arrows, so put up his arms to block the arrows.

The three Explosive Fire Arrows launched Milo flying and caused him to crash into the wall of the private training room. The impact was hard and the damage that the arrows caused was high, but Milo wiped the blood that leaked out of his mouth and dashed towards Damian.

Damian had the element of surprise with the first arrows as Milo didn't know what to expect with them, but they wouldn't be of much use against Milo anymore as he would be prepared for them.

From the distance that he had made and the speed at which he could create arrows, Damian could have probably defeated Milo quite easily with his bow, but he wanted to continue his spar with Milo and threw his bow to the side.

Milo thanked Damian in his heart for not continuing to use the bow and found that his weakness was dealing with a skilled ranged fighter. While Milo was focusing mainly on improving his skill and power in close combat, Damian was training to be the Copy Mage that was prepared in all situations and could also fight in close combat.
