BXBX NOVEL Chapter 145 Learning Aura
The aura Rishi wanted to learn was sword aura, a type of weapon-based aura that enhances the damage of sword skills.
Each person's aura was different from others, as it was a manifestation of his spiritual power, emotions, and life force transformed into energy and brought to the world physically by extreme mental focus.
Extreme mental focus was the most important thing for using Aura, and while it was very difficult for others, for Rishi it was not that hard due to his broken passive skill. After going through all the theories, he found a step-by-step way to manifest his aura.
1.) Identify spiritual power, Life Force, and emotions.
2.) Imagine an aura and try to bring it to the physical world with extreme focus.
3.) Control it and transfer it to his sword.
While this looked easy on paper, only Rishi knew how complex it was once he started looking for spiritual power.
He had already awakened the spiritual power through meditation. It awakened when, while meditating, Rishi realized that he is not only the body and mind but something more; the correct word for it would be soul.
Sensing life force was also very easy for Rishi, who had awakened spiritual power and had enhanced focus.
Life Force is the concept that there is a Force in every living being that allows life to exist, grow, and flourish. The difference between a living being and a non-living being is the presence of the Life Force.
Why, even if we created a perfect replica of a human using the same elements, it would not be a living being? The answer is simple: because it doesn't have Life Force.
Now the next phase was understanding his emotions. Rishi had gone through various emotions from birth.
The one he had felt the most was hate; he hated everyone who looked down on him, he hated everyone who called him "the cursed one," and he hated the Tiwari clan.
He hated his own clan for not taking revenge on his father due to their political gains.
After he had identified everything, it was not time for step two. Imagining his aura and manifesting it physically with extreme focus, He started imagining his aura coming out of his hands, but nothing happened for some time.
But when he used his full focus with hate in his mind, a little black substance appeared on his hands. His emotions, life force, and spiritual power transformed into strange black energy and manifested before him.
He looked carefully and noticed that it was dancing like flames, but it was very dark, and when Rishi looked at it, he could feel a very strong hatred towards the unfairness of this world. Different from a fire, it was a little cold but not as cold as ice.
He tried to control it and experiment with it a little before he remembered that there was no time for fun. He started understanding his aura as much as he could. When he touched it to an object, it was destroyed.
Rishi started thinking of solutions to use it when a question suddenly came to his mind. Why is it not destroying me? He knew that it was because it was his aura, and it identified him as its master, but how did he make it recognize an object as him?
Mana, If it recognizes my mana imprint, then if I embed an object in my mana, will it destroy it? He tried it by covering a dagger in mana and touching his aura to it. What he found was surprising; his theory was correct, and it recognized his mana.
He was just about to smile when he saw that the aura sucked all his mana and grew in size before returning to its original size after consuming all the mana.
This was good and bad news at the same time. If his aura reacts in such a way to his mana, then he could use his mana to increase the amount and power of his aura, but the problem was how to protect his weapon from his aura.
After thinking for some time, an idea came to his mind. He coated his dagger in semi-sword energy and touched it. This time the aura surrounded it but didn't burn it; he finally sighed in relief.
He was just happy when his thoughts were distracted by the sound of a woman. He said, "Shit, I need to hurry. She can't hold for long."
He started focusing on his task with even more dedication. This was now not just for curiosity but a matter of life and death.
After he was able to manifest his aura, it was now time for the most important part: control and transfer. Due to his extreme focus, Rishi was able to control his aura, but to transfer it, he had to make use of the theories he knew.
He also remembered that when he had asked his teacher why he was not able to store mana in his arrow, she had told him that in order to contain mana, you need to first create a vessel.
At last, Rishi was able to store his mana in objects, and he was now thinking of applying the same concept here.
From his calculation, he would be able to store his Aura in a vessel made up of semi-sword energy. It will reduce the effect of the Aura, but he will still be able to use semi-Aura.
He used his mana channeling technique and transferred his semi-Sword Energy into his Dagger.
He then controlled his semi-Sword Energy and formed a layer of it around his dagger when he had succeeded in his process. He calmed his mind down and started manifesting his Aura again.
A small, Dark Flame came out of his hand. He tried to transfer his Aura into the dagger, but nothing happened.
He started thinking of the solution, and a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he remembered that for any energy to transfer from one place to another, there was a need for a medium.
It took him just a moment to guess what could be the medium. It could be his mana that Aura uses as fuel to increase its size and power. A clear concept appeared in Rishi's head.
He filled the vessel made up of semi-Sword Energy on the dagger with his mana before he brought his aura near it; the Aura again reacted in the same way.
It started eating his mana and moving in the dagger, and after some time, the whole vessel made up of semi-sword energy around the dagger was filled with a black aura burning like a flame.
The aura suddenly started to become unstable when it consumed all the mana. Rishi ejected more mana into it and became stable again, but there was one more problem.
