Chapter 614 - Does That Mean...
After that, Frandin and Roan reappeared outside before they made their way to Venasi once again. They quickly passed by the city\'s gate and went back to the workshop they had rented previously.
Rean then looked at them before saying.
"Alright, I\'ll spend my next few days forging Earth Peak-Level Equipment. I want to bring it to the auction house for sale. After that, we should have enough Spirit Stones to keep traveling without much worry of running out."
Calina couldn\'t help but ask.
"Wouldn\'t it be too risky to use such high-level equipment in this place? You crafted Earth High-Level ones before exactly because of that."
Rean nodded as he replied.
"That was the plan. However, did you see how the appraiser of the Imperial Auction House looked at my weapons? In the end, they could only be considered opening items. It seems like it won\'t be a huge problem to bring Earth Peak-Level weapons."
Rean then looked at Frandin before continuing.
"Besides, we do have a Zasfin owner with a Rank Five Bloodline Soul Mark. If problems arise, Frandin just has to bring out his Bloodline Mark, and the others should know how to restrain themselves."
Frandin shrugged his shoulders as he said.
"Already expecting to use me this soon, huh?"
Roan snorted as he replied.
"If not for that, what use would there be for you?"
"Sigh... fine. By the way, have you tried using your Soul Powers yet? With a Rank Five Bloodline Mark, the amplification of your Soul Power should be enough for you to manifest it."
Qia nodded first.
"I did, but I can\'t seem to bring it out. You said that it was like breathing for Zasfins, but I can\'t even detect its presence at all."
Roan and the others agreed with Qia\'s words. They also tried to use it a few times, but they couldn\'t even activate their Rank Five Bloodline Marks. Well, there was one exception, though.
*Chick!*
Although very faint, Kentucky\'s Rank Five Bloodline mark shone on his forehead as Soul Power manifested around his body. It was a far cry from what Frandin could do, but he could still do it.
Frandin then pondered over the sight for a bit before saying.
"Oh! I think I know why."
He then put his hand on Roan\'s shoulder as he said.
"I will send my own Soul Power into your body and let it run through. Pay attention to the feeling of what Soul Power is. I believe you guys can\'t activate it because your conscience still doesn\'t know what it is even though you know it exists. Kentucky ate the altar, which had Soul Power inside. That\'s why his brain already understands what Soul Power is and has the knowledge that he has it."
Roan nodded. Frandin\'s theory made a lot of sense.
"Alright, go ahead."
Frandin couldn\'t help but ask, though.
"Aren\'t you afraid that I might mess something up in your body?"
Roan looked at Frandin with a serious expression as he responded.
"Don\'t doubt people you use, don\'t use people you doubt."
Everyone was taken aback by those words. It was quite a mismatch for someone with Roan\'s personality. Nevertheless, Frandin quickly recovered and nodded. Soon after, he summoned his Soul Power and let it run inside Roan\'s body. Sure enough, he didn\'t have any intentions of messing anything up.
Roan then focused on that power, trying to find something similar to it inside himself. At first, he couldn\'t notice anything. But as he became more and more used to it, a weird sensation began to arise from his forehead.
Suddenly, the Rank Five Bloodline Mark activated, albeit faintly. Following that, Roan\'s 13 points of Soul Power were amplified more than 100%! Well, that was expected since this was a Rank Five Bloodline SOul Mark. Thanks to that, Roan\'s Soul Power Points increased to 32 while the mark was active.
The moment it happened, Roan\'s eyes lit up. He could finally feel that hint of Soul Power inside his mind.
"Alright, you can stop now."
Frandin nodded and took his hand away.
Following that, Roan\'s body began to manifest a very faint Soul Power, just like Kentucky\'s one. The difference was that Kentucky wasn\'t very smart to control it well. In Roan\'s case, he quickly understood the principle of using Soul Power and condensed all of it in his hand.
"I see... Frandin was right. It\'s just that I didn\'t really \'know\' what Soul Power was. Now I understand how to activate the Soul Mark and manifest it. Frandin, go ahead and do the same thing with the others."
Frandin nodded and began to send his Soul Power into everyone\'s body. Rean was the first one after Roan. For Rean, it was even easier to understand and manifest it since he was a Light Element user. Soul Power only existed because there was a Soul, and a Soul existed because there\'s a Life Force. Since Life Force was involved, Light Element was the best affinity for feeling it.
"Oh! Such a weird power. Hey, let me try the Soul Measurement Crystal."
Rean quickly put his hand on the Crystal and sent his Soul Power inside. Not long after, his Soul Power number was displayed on the surface.
-38-
Frandin was quite surprised by that.
"38? That means you had at least 16 or more before."
Rean nodded.
"Indeed. That\'s most likely because I have Light Element Affinity. I can feel the presence of Life Force inside Soul Power now that I understand what it is. I can even feel my Soul Power increasing in power very slightly as we speak. If I continued like this, I believe I would have manifested Soul Power at some point in my life on my own."
That was quite a surprising thing. Still, since they all got Bloodline Soul Marks now, it didn\'t matter as much as it would in the future. Besides, it was not guaranteed either since Rean didn\'t know \'what\' Soul Power was. Perhaps he would reach the threshold to manifest Soul Power but would never know that he could use it.
After that, Frandin used his Soul Power on everyone else. The others obviously took longer than Rean and Roan since they didn\'t have anything to do with the Light Element. Nonetheless, they eventually grasped the principles and were able to manifest their Soul Powers as well.
Malaka and Calina had 28 points, Agis 27, and Qia 26. Of course, that was only achievable after the Bloodline Soul Mark appeared. Without that, they couldn\'t manifest Soul Power.
Roan then took this opportunity and took out everyone\'s training routines.
"Alright. I\'ll call you one by one and revise your training schedule to include Soul Power. At first, it\'s just a test. After I get to know it better, I will update it once again."
Each person had their own traits, so Roan had created a routine specifically for each one of them. Rean was the first one. Still, he also thought about his own way of using it. Roan was responsible for battle training, but he decided to practice it while he was forging. Simply put, he chose to incorporate Soul Power in it as well.
The others were thinking about the same thing. Agis wanted to try to use it in his talismans. Just like Rean, Qia intended to use it to understand the Soul Runes in the formations. Well, Calina and Malaka had never tried any side occupation before, so they could only follow the routine given by Roan.
"Keep it active all the time. Use it in everyday tasks. If possible, sleep with it as well."
Frandin couldn\'t help but warn them.
"If you do that, you will run out of Soul Power all the time."
Roan shrugged his shoulders.
"So what? Out Soul Power is so ridiculously low that it will make almost no difference in battles. Since we aren\'t battling anyway, we might as well use it in other things."
Calina then remembered something else.
"Oh, right. When\'s the auction happening? Do you have enough time to forge the equipment, Rean?"
Rean shook his head.
"Nope. We only had three days before the next auction, not to mention that we spent at least a day with the Rank Five Bloodline Trial thing. The auction should be happening two days from now. However, it doesn\'t mean that I can\'t participate in the next one."
Rean then brought several materials out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm before saying.
"However, I do have enough time to make at least one weapon if I hurry up. That\'s because I won\'t use my Element Gathering Technique on them, so it\'s easier to work with. Even though I don\'t think bringing out an Earth Peak-Level Equipment will be bad, I might as well test it first, just to be sure."
Roan agreed with that thought.
"That\'s good, then. Now, let\'s talk about the next issue."
Everyone knew what Roan wanted.
"Just one Frandin isn\'t enough. We need at least another two Zasfins to be able to move into the cities in different groups without catching attention."
Frandin was taken aback.
"Does that mean..."
Roan coldly smiled.
"It\'s kidnapping time."
