After practicing changing color in sequence for a long ti, Sila was finally able to get a hang of it. Sila now realized that Poluk had given him so many hints. Changing elents uses the sa concept as changing attributes of the body with Formless Soldier. He needed to swiftly change the color by concentrating power at once instead of accumulating power to do so bit by bit.
It is like Qi Reinforcent in a sense that speed plays a more important role than power.
I can do it. I can do it. Sila smiled at his own success.
A re second was needed for the current Sila to change his elent. To complete the elent cycle by sequence, only 5-6 seconds were required. Although it was tiring, he could sohow use it in actual combat now.
Viola slowly walked toward him. Seeing so, Sila was quick to greet her.
Rest for a mont. Afterward, I will conduct the trial. Viola declared.
Sila nodded then sat down to recover his magic points.
Im ready, Sila said after he had checked that his magic points had reached the maximum.
Okay. The trial shall start now. You have to change into all elents in a sequential manner, ordered Viola.
As he had practiced for so long, Sila was very confident. His body changed into six colors respectively within five seconds without fail.
Viola nodded. Very good. You are quite skilled.
So, Ive passed the trial, havent I, Master? Sila smiled back at Violas comnt.
Viola shook her head. There was no smile on her face. No! Next is the actual trial.
Sila was shocked. Prior to this, Master Viola had told him that to complete her trial, he only had to successfully complete the elent sequence. He didnt understand why there was another trial waiting for him.
Wait, Master, why is there another trial? Sila questioned.
Thats because you have spent too much ti practicing. Do you know how much ti has passed?
One day, I think? Sila replied hesitantly.
Back then, he rembered that Viola had said he would take the trial tomorrow. As Viola didnt appear, he couldnt know how much ti had passed. This place was always bright without night ti, worsening his perception of ti.
Wrong! Including today, you have spent seven days practicing. Thats why the trial has to be harder! Viola declared.
Sila frowned. His perception of ti might have beco worse. But he felt like it wasnt possible for that much ti to have passed. He believed that it has only been two or three days at most.
Does Master misunderstand sothing? Seven days is too long. I think that
Silence! Are you telling that Im in the wrong? Should I give you a failing grade? Viola said.
Sila shut his mouth. Using the trial to threaten him like this, he had no choice but to give up.
What kind of the trial do I have to pass this ti? asked Sila.
Viola smiled. Your changing elents could be used for showing off, but in real combat, its still lacking. Your opponent wouldnt be kind and wait for you to change your elent at ease. You need to be keen and change your elent at the right mont.
Sila nodded. Violas reasoning was well spot on.
In this actual trial, I will jump to bump into you every three seconds. Within half a minute, if you can successfully defend against my bump at least eight tis, you will get a passing grade. Viola smiled.
Is that all, Master? Sila wondered. This trial sounded too easy to be true.
Yes. By the way, my attack will be an elental one. You need to change into the advantageous elent to be considered successful in your defense. Otherwise, you will be deed as failing even if you can block neatly. Do you understand? Viola said.
I understand, Sila replied. He still thought that Viola was hiding sothing.
We will now begin. Dont worry. I wont bump into you with too much force. The objective of this trial is to test whether you can choose your elent keenly. Although, if you do it incorrectly, there will of course be so minor painfulness.
Sila got goosebumps. How much pain is considered minor in Violas dictionary?
Sila stood confronting Viola. Both of them still didnt change their elent. Viola could change her elent freely at her will but Sila couldnt. Sila realized that he would be in a disadvantageous position if he changed his elent first, as Viola could change hers accordingly.
First ti is to warm up. Wind! With Violas sentence, her body turned green and she jumped towards Sila. He then quickly changed his elent to ice.
In this contest of changing elents, Sila who was defending had the upper hand since he could change his body into any elent in the first attempt. The problem would be the following ones since he had no ti to change his elent back to normal.
Once their bodies collided, nothing happened. Viola jumped backward.
Very good. Earth! Viola jumped at him again. Sila needed only a brief mont to change his elent to wind to parry her.
Next is, lightning! Viola jumped forward again. Sila was calm and defended against her by changing his body into earth elent.
This is easier than I thought. I have succeeded three tis so far. Sila thought.
Viola grinned. Next, water!
Sila didnt pay much attention. He changed his elent to lightning. But as soon as Viola approached, he was shocked.
Even though she said she would use a water elental attack, her actual current elent was fire.
Sila lost his focus, cancelling his change in elent. He was bumped by Viola and he felt hot as if he was burned.
Argh! Hot!! shouted Sila.
Fufu. Whats wrong? Do I need to always tell you the truth? Ice! Viola jumped at him with fire elent again.
Sila strengthened his focus. He didnt pay attention to what Viola was saying anymore. He blocked her attack by changing his elent to water.
Dont be too easy to fall into a trap. Ice! This ti Violas words matched her actual elent. Sila defended using fire.
His worry grew. Sotis Viola told the truth, sotis she lied. It caused Sila to beco confused.
Next. Lightning! Viola changed to wind. Although Sila was still worrying, he tried his best to ignore her words. His focus was entirely on the color on her body. He succeeded in blocking once again.
Haha. Next is also lightning! Violas elent changed to fire. Sila was quick to change his to water. However, before they collided, Viola changed to lightning at the last mont.
Arghh!! Sila felt like he was electrocuted. Viola played him by changing her elent at the last mont.
I already told you that itll be lightning. Why dont you believe ? Next is wind! Viola declared. Her elent also changed to wind.
Sila could get the hang of her objective. Viola wanted him to change his elent in an instant, not changing beforehand and waiting for the attack.
Therefore, Sila didnt change his elent. He was waiting in water elent form. He would decide which elent to change to at the last mont.
As he had predicted, once Viola ca closer, she changed to earth. Sila quickly changed his elent. He respectively changed his elent from water to fire, ice, and wind to block against her successfully at the very last mont.
Viola pulled a wry face. This ti is ice! She shouted.
Sila panicked. Ice wins against wind. That ant, from his current wind-elental form, based on the sequence of elents, he needed to almost complete the elental cycle to beco an elent that advantageous to ice. He hadnt been able to do it in a short ti. Nevertheless, he tried his best.
Once the two bodies collided, Sila who stayed in water form felt pain. He really couldnt do it in ti.
Youve been hit three tis already. This is the last one. If you can block , you pass. If you cant, you fail. Viola said happily.
Sila tried to focus without caring about the freezing sensation he had felt before. He needed all of his concentration to cope with this last attack.
The last ti is, not telling you! Viola rushed at him.
Sila focused in this heated battle. Although Viola said so, he could predict that she would use the sa thod to force Sila to complete the elental cycle.
However, even though he knew it was coming, he still had no way to cope with it. He really couldnt change his elents with that much speed.
What Sila had predicted turned out to be true. Once their bodies had almost collided, Viola changed her elent to the lightning.
At this mont, in Silas mind, ti seed to have slowed down. Sila rembered what Poluk had said to him. Our sli-race skills always have more than one way that they can be used.
Did he really have to change elent in sequence based on Master Viola just teaching him so? Sila realized this right before forcing his elental form to change two steps in reverse.
Their bodies finally collided. Sila gritted his teeth to prepare for the painfulness.
But nothing happened. Viola hopped backward.
Very good. You only practiced for five days and youre able to change elent in reverse. Viola complinted.
Sila released a sigh of relief. He had staked everything on his last-ditch effort to change elent in reverse and it paid off. He felt so tired, though.
Changing elent in reverse requires ten tis more energy than in sequence. Rember it well and dont do it unless its necessary. Viola said.
So, have I passed the trial? Sila smiled.
Yes. You have now passed the actual trial. Viola said.
Sila smiled again. It was really hard but he finally overca it. Now that he thought about it, magic-type skills were indeed unsuitable for him. He only needed one day for the qi-type trial but had to spend several days for the magic-type one.
Im happy for you. Okay, then prepare yourself for the actual trial mark 2!!! Viola shouted.
WHAT!!? Sila shouted back.
Dont you see? Once you overco the actual trial mark 2, there will be the actual trial Z, and then Viola continued her speech.
Sila listened to the tens of trials he had to overco. Master, doesnt this seem fishy? Why there are so many trials?
What? Its up to how I want to examine your ability. I will conduct as many trials as I need to ensure that your comprehension of this skill is maximized. The current you can exert only 10% of its power. Viola said.
Silas mouth was wide open. Sli-race skills were very complicated and had so much depth. If he needed to understand them completely, wouldnt he had to spend a year practicing?
Normally, just completing the elental sequence is required to pass, isnt it, Viola? There was a man voice coming from behind.
Viola replied without turning back. This is my trial, Divine. You have to wait for your turn.
Sila took a look at Divine, the last Sli Guardian he t. Divines appearance wasnt a sli as Sila had anticipated. He was a white-haired handso man, leaning his back against a wall.
I have waited for too long. His Majesty himself sent to observe your trial. His Majesty is concerned you played a prank in the trial. Divine said.
His Majesty sent you here?
Correct. His Majesty also told that the whole ordeal should have been finished long ago. But since this little brother still struck at the second stage, he ordered to have a look for once. Divine said, looking at Sila.
Its my right to decide whether this whelp passes my trial or not. Viola pouted.
Of course, you still have the right to do so. I just want to remind you that, compared to other slis who had co to take the trial, is this man considered inferior in changing elent to them?
Viola gave it a thought. Actually, Silas ability to change elent had reached a satisfactory level. It was just because Sila got it easy because of Poluks advice that she felt discontented.
Geez. Okay. Ill give him a passing grade. Viola said.
Afterward, Sila body was glowing. The system sound alerted.
Player Sila has overco the trial of the Way of Sli (Magic Part).
Skill (F) Colorful Sli has been promoted to skill (S) Orbiting Cosmos.
Sila didnt wait. He imdiately checked his new skills description.
Racial skill: (S) Orbiting Cosmos
Magic-type skill. An art of magic manipulation. Can be used to change part of the body or its junction to beco one with the elent.
Decrease opponents magic-based attack power by 20%.
Prevents user from being able to use any other magic-type skills.
Viola walked away slowly. She gave Sila one last word before she left.
Rember these words of mine. Orbiting in the sequence is cosmos. Orbiting in reverse is also cosmos. Changing in sequence to connect to the outer universe. Changing in reverse to connect to the inner universe.
Sila couldnt understand a thing but he still tried his best to rember her words. He then politely said goodbye to Viola.
