Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 31: Ch 31: Nurturing The Soul Mark

Once the Void Phoenix appeared, she immediately made up her mind. Even if Emrys's character is not good and he has the nature of a villain, she would still train him. She was now 90% certain that her goal could be achieved through Emrys.

Later, when Emrys upgraded the Elite-leveled Green Soul Orb to Master Level and gave it away, she smiled. It became evident to her that Emrys was indeed a good person, dispelling any doubts about his character and heart.

However, when she witnessed him continue to waste Soul Essence, she felt a pang of heartache for Emrys. He was wasting Soul Essence in such a manner. Instead of evolving Soul Orbs, if he can refine even a single drop of Soul Essence, his strength would immediately skyrocket, surpassing 90% of Soul Warriors in the Great Flame Kingdom.

Although she felt heartache for Emrys, she still chose to stay hidden and keep observing him. She planned to train Emrys after he left this place.

Moreover, from her observations, even though Emrys had already evolved the Soul Orbs multiple times, he had only used a fraction of a drop of Soul Essence. He had yet to completely utilize a single drop of Soul Essence.

She guessed that Emrys might have obtained a drop of Soul Essence from somewhere and was unaware of its true potential. He had somehow discovered that Soul Essence could evolve Soul Orbs, but he was squandering this precious resource on lesser items.

It can be seen that she was unable to sense Emrys extracting Soul Force from the corpses of Soul Beasts that were automatically converted into Soul Points.

.....

Emrys immediately decided to use the Mythical-leveled Green Soul Orb.

With the infusion of his Soul Force, the Mythical-leveled Green Soul Orb started shining with bright bronze light. Substantial brilliant bronze light instantly burst out from the Orb's surface and shot into Emrys's glabella, reaching the depths of his soul.

A bizarre sensation surged in his heart, and Emrys couldn't help but close his eyes. A very comfortable feeling that originated directly from his soul provided warmth to his body. At the same time, he felt a profound connection forming between his consciousness and the essence of the Mythical-leveled Green Soul Orb. It was as though the boundaries of his being had started expanding.

Within the depths of his soul, Emrys experienced a transformation unlike any he had gone through before. The sensation was both exhilarating and serene, as if he were being embraced by the very essence of motherly enlightenment. He entered a state where he was completely aware of every transformation his body was going through, however, he could not interfere in this transformation even if he wanted to.

In this state, Emrys felt a surge of clarity washing over him. He saw the miniature blue orb that was floating in his mind quietly, washed by a surge of pure Soul Force. There was a beautiful blue bird inside this miniature orb.

As the Soul Force washed over the blue orb, it illuminated his consciousness with ethereal beauty. Emrys felt as if some kind of huge secret was unfolding before him, however, he found himself very far from truly being able to see this secret.

With each passing moment, the warmth emanating from his soul washed the miniature blue orb, infusing it with renewed vigor and vitality. It was as if the being inside was being reborn, shedding the limitations of its former self and embracing the boundless possibilities of its potential.

Unlike other Soul Masters, Emrys surprisingly did not have to manually nurture his Soul Mark using the Green Soul Orb. All he did was fuse a little Soul Force into the Mythical-leveled Green Soul Orb, and the pure soul power hidden within the Soul Orb entered his body and started nurturing his Soul Mark automatically.

After what seemed like a second or maybe a day, Emrys opened his eyes. As he opened his eyes, Emrys could feel the echoes of his Soul Mark reverberating within him.

Without wasting his time, he immediately opened his information panel.

.....

[Name: Emrys Frazier.

Cultivation: Elementary Bronze Soul Master.

Soul Mark: Walker of the Blue Sky.

Soul Point: 1,622.

Unique Skills: Soul Orb Enhancement, Soul Force Extraction.]

.....

[Soul Mark: Walker Of Blue Sky (Mortal).

Quality: Green (Mythical).

Race: Void Phoenix.

Attribute: Space.

Talent: 30% increase in power when using space skills

Origin Skill: Node Shift (Foundational).]

.....

Although there appeared to be little change in his current information panel, only Emrys was aware of the transformation he had undergone.

After nurturing his Soul Mark, Emrys's Origin Skill, Node Shift, had ascended from the Introductory level to the Foundational level.

Previously, he could only employ the Node Shift ability within a range of one hundred meters and three times a day. Now, however, he could utilize Node Shift within a range of two hundred meters and up to five times a day.

On the surface, it was not a big change, however, reality was very different. The change brought by the nurturing of his Soul Mark had strengthened Emrys's overall strength by a lot.

"It is time to continue our investigation!"

Emrys took a deep breath and stood up, returning to the place where he had left Rohan and Cairo. To his expectation, he found no one there, indicating they must still be in the process of nurturing their Soul Marks. Unlike him, they needed to manually undertake the task of nurturing their Soul Marks.

He had no choice but to wait.

While he waited, he retrieved a manual from his backpack. This manual had been acquired from the previous group of withered corpses. The owner of this manual was the same person who possessed the E-1 Alloy Knife that Emrys was currently utilizing.

This was a Skill Manual.

Emrys looked at the skill's introduction.

Flying Blade Technique:- A skill that focuses on the adept manipulation of a blade through the air, allowing the practitioner of this skill to strike from a distance with unparalleled accuracy and speed.

To be honest, Emrys was really lacking in skills. He only had one Origin Skill of the Void Phoenix, that's all. This also caused his battle prowess to decline a lot. If he wants to strengthen his battle prowess, he has to learn a skill or two at least.

The Flying Blade Technique appeared at the right time. While Rohan and Cairo were nurturing their Soul Marks, he could practice and learn this skill.

Just like that, Emrys grabbed the E-1 Alloy Knife in hand and started practicing the skill according to the records in the manual.
