BXBX NOVEL Chapter 144 Difficult Situation
They said that the whole thing about teaching skills was a fraud; he only taught the skill once, after which it depended on your comprehension ability if you could master it.
The only positive review was from the person who could comprehend one skill; he mentioned that that skill is very powerful and unique, and while the teacher explains the skill only once, he explains the whole concept, mana channeling, and critical points in detail.
He also learned that this person taught in 'Tower of Champions,' a realistic virtual reality training and battle game. In it, every user could add their skills and compete against opponents worldwide.
It was made with the help of Gaia, and all the players' data was stored in it. "It looks like I would need to buy a 'VR chamber.' To enter the 'Tower of Champions,' everyone needed to have a special 'VR Chamber.' Unlike virtual reality games, which could be played in any gaming pod.
"After buying this, I am out of money," he said. He couldn't believe what he said—he was suddenly poor. The money he had was all spent. "It looks like I will need to get support from my clan, or I will also need to hunt monsters to earn some money."
"It sucks to be poor," said Rishi with teary eyes.
He sent a message and bought Silent Shadow's course. The message he sent was, "Sir, I have recently awakened the shadow element, but I don't know how to use it."
"I want you to guide me on how I can integrate the shadow element into my fighting style; I have been struggling to use it like a normal element."
After sending the message, Rishi decided to eat his dinner and rest for today. He called out his contract beasts and fed them some beast food. His contract beasts also became worried when they looked at the injured state of their master, but Rishi comforted them by saying that he was alright.
His maid served Rishi his dinner while giving him some potion to heal. Rishi looked at her strangely at the potion.
It was a special potion that increased the body's natural healing ability. He didn't ask any questions, as he knew his uncle was behind it; he ate his meal and drank the potion.
The potion was of very high grade, and he started feeling little itches all over his body. He went to his bedroom to sleep, as it was tough to train in his state, and his injuries would only worsen if he trained.
When Rishi was sleeping at night, he heard some weird sounds, like screams and cries of someone. At first, Rishi thought it was his misunderstanding, but when he heard a big scream and the sound of metal colliding, he decided to take a look.
The first thing he noticed was that he was not able to see the Stars and moon. When he looked at it carefully, with his high senses, he noticed that a veil was surrounding his whole apartment.
He knew about these types of barriers that blocked sound and view. To test his theory he tried to summon his contract beast and as he had thought he was unable to do it.
He used stealth and started to approach the area where he heard the sounds coming from; the sound of screams started to get louder as he approached the location.
He heard another scream close to him, and when Rishi reached it, he saw his maid fighting with multiple opponents. Three dead bodies were on the scene, along with seven people covered in long coats and strange masks.
From their moment, Rishi guessed they were assassins. His maid was standing between them with a sword in each hand. Even when completely outnumbered, she could still hold on to herself, but till when? With the wounds inflicted on her body, it was hard for her to stop them all.
Beads of sweat started appearing on Rishi's forehead when he thought about what would have happened if his maid was not there. He hid his presence and took out all the potions he had.
He had not used regular potions to heal fast from the start as they left some impurities in the body, but he decided to take a risk in this emergency situation. He drank all the potions he had and started recovering quickly.
After recovering, he started thinking of what to do. He was able to use 'Sword Dash' to chain down from one opponent to another, but he was not sure about the damage he would be able to deal.
If they survived his ambush, they would ignore the maid and take care of him first. In the movement of the crisis, the rishi's passive activated, and he started thinking of ways to save his life.
He needed something to increase his damage; in his mind, all the scenes of damage-increasing skills came. All skills like Sharpen and Nina's Target Hunt were available, but it was impossible for Rishi to use them before learning how to use them and their mana channel.
Suddenly the scene came to his mind, where he saw a boy using a strange blue aura to increase his damage. It was the scene of Dilip destroying Mineva. I can use Aura right now, but I don't know how to use it.
He suddenly remembered that he had a way to channel mana, and if he could make some changes to it, he would be able to awaken semi-Aura, which was not as powerful as Aura, but for this situation it could work.
Rishi started thinking about the technique he had learned from his sword class teacher, which was able to convert mana into semi-sword Energy. He used its principles and combined them with his knowledge of Aura before integrating them all into his mana-channeling technique.
He came up with his mana channeling technique to channel his mana into the other objects. He decided to use it as a base for using the sword aura.
He started recalling everything he knew about Aura; It is the effect of a being's soul on his surroundings. It's a life force that runs through every creature with a soul.
It is the Energy formed by the soul; it could also be called a type of spiritual power. All the lectures and things he had heard about Aura started coming to his head.
Even in such a crisis, Rihsi was standing still; he had forgotten everything; his all-consuming focus was on mastering the Sword Aura.
Auras were of many types; the one Dilip used was called the Dragon Aura. It was a type of Aura that could only be used by those with dragon blood.
Aura could make a person capable of blasting big stones to powder; It could also let the user control the minds of others. It could allow a user to fly or make him able to regenerate from injuries. There were different types of auras, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
