Chapter 12: Legacy Skill
“Absolute Protection: Creates a 5-ter field that lasts for 5 seconds. Nothing can interfere with the inside of the field until it disappears. This Legacy Skill can only be used once per month; it doesn’t use the user’s energy.”
“This skill is a real Absolute Protection.”
Absolute Protection can protect Yale and everything around him from any damage. Even if it only lasts for five seconds and can only be used once per month, if Yale were again in the sa situation as in the Clan’s Gathering, at least, he would be able to protect himself and his sister for five seconds.
“Can I improve this Legacy Skill?”
That was sothing very important; if the area and duration could increase, then it would be aweso.
“The Legacy Skill is a special type of skill that directly use the laws of the world to work; it can only improve if the user gains an understanding of the law the Legacy Skill is using.”
Yale was slightly disappointed, gaining understanding in the laws of the world was sothing that usually only powerful experts could do. However, having this Legacy Skill implies that his past life understood at least so of that law, then Yale should also be capable of doing it soday.
“What law does it use?”
Laws were very closely related to elents, having a better elental affinity also makes it easier to understand the law later on.
“Absolute Protection relies on the Ti Law.”
Yale was shocked, Space and Ti were special elents like healing, but much more difficult to train and even rarer to have elental affinities in.
This Legacy Skill using the Ti Law implied that Yale would have a very difficult ti improving it, but at the sa ti, the system didn’t lie in that it was absolute.
A defense that manipulates ti was unbreakable unless one had an even better understanding of the Ti Law, a Ti-type defense didn’t block the incoming attacks, the attacks couldn’t exist in the ti flux inside the protection.
The Absolute Protection beca Yale’s greatest trump card, a true life-saving skill and one that can also save others.
“Is there any way to get more Legacy Skills?”
Yale wanted to see if he could obtain more life-saving skills.
“The Legacy Skills can only beco unlocked by fulfilling hidden requirents. Until fulfilling them, the user wouldn’t get any more information.”
Yale expected sothing like that, yet he still tried to ask.
However, he didn’t understand why the system put up those many difficulties when helping him instead of giving him the full legacy from his past life, he only survived by luck last ti, but with the Absolute Protection, he could have avoided that heavy injury.
Yale didn’t understand his own past life, but he couldn’t do anything about that, so he chose to rest as he couldn’t train now.
In the following days, the healers and Swordmad fully checked Yale’s body, until they permitted Yale to continue his training.
Yale started to train without rest like before, and he realized that with his vitality maxed and the Auto-regeneration skill his stamina was far greater than before.
Yale didn’t have to rely on dicinal pills like before as his body’s recovery was even better than them.
The effects of Auto-regeneration were more powerful when it ca to restoring Yale’s stamina compared to its ability to actually heal his wounds, as restoring stamina was far easier than recovering an injured body.
Two months later Yale increased his Agility to eight, and after another month his Strength reached nine points.
However, Yale was unable to increase his Dexterity to nine points until the week before his ninth birthday.
Yale also upgraded his Magical Talent to mid-high grade and got the next Skill Quest in which he needed to upgrade each of the mind stats to ten points.
In those months, Swordmad was very pleased with Yale as he trained even harder than before.
After having a near-death experience at such young age, it wouldn’t be strange to negatively affect a child’s mind and turn them into cowards.
However, Yale was the opposite as he beca even more hard-working than before. Swordmad considered that this kind of mindset was the best one to practice any Path.
On the other hand, Yale felt that his training was becoming less effective and didn’t feel confident to reach the ten points in all of his stats in little more than one year.
“The system only gave a ten percent chance of success, and now I see that it wasn’t exaggerating, the last points are truly difficult to obtain.”
Ten points were the natural limit for a mortal like him, and his body was near that state, reaching the limit would be a perfect state for a mortal and reaching perfection was always difficult.
Yale knew that he wouldn’t be able to succeed by normal ans, normal training wouldn’t let his body reach perfection. Yale needed practical experience.
Yale knew how to undergo so practical and dangerous training.
However, one should be at least nine years old and younger than ten years old, Yale only missed a week so he can wait a bit, the problem was the other condition.
A recomndation from soone of the older generation of the clan and that mber of the older generation would need a very good status in the clan.
Usually, a kid who wanted to undergo such training would ask his father, and if his father couldn’t make the recomndation, he would at least ask so others to help the kid.
Yale’s father could emit such recomndation, but he was soone that didn’t even visit Yale once when he was badly wounded before.
Yale didn’t even think about asking him; his first option was to ask his master, he only feared that Swordmad wouldn’t want to recomnd him, that practical training was far too dangerous after all.
That practical training was called Beast Trial.
In a secret and isolated area of the clan, the older generation put a lot of mortal ranked beasts to serve as a trial for the younger generation.
Those who survived beca strong, but almost all who tried beca corpses.
Yale asked his master the next day, hoping to convince him.
“Master, I want to undergo the Beast Trial.”
Swordmad didn’t expect such a request from his disciple.
“Why? You are already very strong for your age, and you don’t have any need to undergo such a dangerous trial.”
Yale expected such an answer, any other kid with his stats would be already very happy and won’t take risks to simply improve a bit more before starting practice.
However, Yale situation was different as he needed to reach ten points in each stat to practice the Origin Path.
“I want to beco stronger, and I feel that normal training doesn’t work as well as before, I need practical experience, and the Beast Trial is a very good practical experience.”
Swordmad sighed rembering the stubbornness of his disciple.
“With your actual strength and swordsmanship as long as you are careful you shouldn’t die in the Beast Trial. All right, I will recomnd you, but you must be careful.”
Yale Sword Mastery already reached the Apprentice Level 7, and with his Auto-regeneration and Absolute Protection, he could avoid being badly wounded or instantly killed.
“Thank you, master. I will start the Beast Trial on my ninth birthday.”
The following days Yale prepared himself for the trial, he obtained a real sword from his master and also managed to obtain a bow with so real arrows. His sister sent him so healing dicinal pills; the grade was much higher than the first ones she sent to him.
As for food, the Beast Trial challenger would need to obtain it inside the trial; it was part of the trial itself.
Finally, his ninth birthday ca, and Yale followed his master to the restricted area where the Beast Trial would take place.
Yale and Swordmad were the only ones in the area, the Beast Trial wasn’t very popular, and only Swordmad ca to sent Yale off.
Yale said farewell to his master and entered the Beast Trial.
