Sila was shocked because of the thing approaching him. He had never imagined that his inner self was this ugly. However, that wasnt important right now. Sila was now more worried due to the fact that this dark creature could clearly use Qi of Little Divine Beings.
anwhile, Sila had to depend on only Qi Reinforcent and the three sli-race skills. He couldnt circulate qi or fire hidden weapons in his current state.
Sila recalled the ti when Poluk fought against the trolls. He imitated Poluks actions by changing his body to beco softer and dashed toward the enemy.
His inner self didnt seem to be surprised by Silas actions. It lifted its hand which was glowing in intense Qi of Little Tiger and prepared to strikeSila. This attack seed powerful as if it could kill Sila in one hit.
Once the red claw coming Silas way was about to hit him, Sila imdiately increased his heaviness with Formless Soldier. His body turned black and descended down into the ground, causing the attack from his enemy to miss.
When Sila was about to touch the ground, he changed his body to beco softer again. His body bounced against the ground and charged at the chin of his inner self. He also didnt forget to change his body to beco harder upon contact.
The sound of tallic clashing could be heard. Sila panicked as he found out that his opponents body was as sturdy as tal. It seed his inner self was also able to use Formless Soldier.
Moreover, based on its black appearance, it seed his inner self was activating hardening aspect of Formless Soldier all the tis. It couldnt be easily injured like this.
Sila felt uneasy. He was pushed back against the ground. He relied on the montum and softened his body to bounce himself up again with double the speed. He didnt forget to activate Qi Reinforcent skill this ti.
Their body collided strongly. Sila depended on the recoil to hop backward several ters. He looked at his inner self and found that there was a crack on its chin.
Sila released a sigh of relief as he discovered that at least his inner self wasnt immortal.
He was slightly dizzy though, as he still wasnt accustod to bouncing himself back and forth.
Sila focused his mind and jumped at his opponent again. Although his inner self was full of power, it was quite stupid. Sila smiled softly. He didnt know whether he should be happy or sad because of the fact that his inner self is stupidly honest and relied only on direct confrontation.
Repeating the sa thod to attack, he bounced upward and hit his inner selfs chin. If things went on like this, its injuries would accumulate until it lost.
Sila charged at the sa spot. The crack on its chin was widened. Sila used this opportunity to bounce against the ground and rush at it again for the third ti.
Silas inner self wasnt just waiting for an incoming attack. Its left hand was glowing in blue aura and swiftly moved beautifully like a little fish playing in the lake. It grabbed Silas body with ease.
Sila panicked. He was too careless and forgot that his opponent possessed Qi of Little Fish. Although it hadnt been enhanced with Qi of Little Tiger, the hand that grabbed onto Sila was as hard as steel, preventing him from getting away.
All five fingers squeezed tightly, causing Sila to feel pain all over his body.
Sila, who was in sli form, didnt have hands or legs to resist this predicant. He had to rely on the hardening aspect of Formless Soldier to withstand an incoming attack. The sound of tal grating against tal was loud.
Against Silas resistance, the inner self used its right-hand empowered with Qi of Little Tiger to strengthen its grip on Sila.
The force Sila had to withstand increased by several tis. Sila was screaming in pain. If this went on, he would surely die. His opponent even had one remaining arm to attack him.
Having no other choice, Silas body color turned into red with the help of Orbiting Cosmos. Silas body was hotter than fire as he spent all his magic power into executing this move.
The inner self scread in pain. Its hands released their grasp slightly. Sila hurriedly used this opportunity to make his body softer and struggled out of its grasp.
He then moved back to take a mont of rest.
Sila looked at his inner self. Its eyes stared back at him. The color on its body had changed into bluish black. The vapor with icy sensation was released from its entire body.
Sila swallowed his saliva. His opponent used skill after skill as though its source of power was limitless. It was currently using the hardening aspect of Formless Soldier enhanced with the ice elent from Orbiting Cosmos. It even maintained this state constantly.
His inner self glared at Sila without blinking. At that mont, Divine walked in between Sila and his inner self. He turned his head to talk with Sila.
Let stop this battle for a mont. I have sothing to tell Sila first, Divine said.
Sila didnt take his sight away from the inner self while shifting so of his attention to Divine.
It seems Sila has misunderstood the objective of this trial, Divine said.
Misunderstood? How? Sila wondered.
Yes. This is a psychic-type trial. Sila needs to depend only on Transparent Sli to achieve victory against this thing. Otherwise, even if Sila overwhelmingly beats it down, I will still have to give you a failing grade.
Sila pulled a wry face. But, sir, Transparent Sli only causes my body to beco more transparent. I cant see how it will help in a fight.
That completely depends on yourself. For psychic type, a resolute mind is the source of the skill. If Sila believes that skill can do that much, it will only amount to that much, Divine comnted.
Sila was imrsed in thought for a while.
Then, lets continue. As I have said before, this trials difficulty depends on Sila yourself, Divine said while jumping backward.
Once Divine got out of combat range, the inner self was releasing an ice-cold killing intent toward Sila once again. Its eyes were fixed on Sila.
Since he was told to rely on Transparent Sli, Sila closed his eyes and tried to remain calm. Except for this thod, he was clueless about what he must do.
As the inner self witnessed Sila closing his eyes, it roared. It bared its fangs and jumped at Sila with Qi of Little Bird at high speed.
Silas calmness was rippled due to the roar. His bodys transparency beca slightly dimr.
Once the inner self approached Sila, it lifted its claw to strike at him strongly. Sila was hit and push away by its force, causing him to smash against the wall behind.
Sila gritted his teeth while enduring the painfulness. It doesnt work at all. He thought before opened his eyes.
In practice, Transparent Sli was already quite hard. For him to empty his mind in life-and-death battle, it was nearly impossible.
Sila looked at his opponent, then, he stumbled onto sothing.
There was a slight crack on his inner selfs hand. It was a very small crack that he might overlook if he didnt pay enough attention.
Sila hurriedly tried to co up with an answer. He was sure he hadnt attacked its hand before. How does a crack appear there?
Was it when it attacked previously?
Sila pushed himself out of the wall. He hopped forward to confront the inner self. He recalled Divines advice. So far, Sila had overco trial after trial because he depended on the advice he had been given (except from Viola whom didnt give him any.)
We dont have to fight against anyone. We fight against ourselves and opponents fight against themselves. A calm mind like a mirror will reflect everything Divines sentences appeared in Sila consciousness.
A calm mind like a mirror Sila muttered.
The strongest psychic is a calm mind Sila continued.
Calm Mirror We fight against ourselves and opponents fight against themselves
anwhile, the inner self dashed at Sila without delay.
Sila closed his eyes. He started to understand. We fight against ourselves and opponents fight against themselves. At that instant, everything around Sila beca aningless for him. Everything beca nothingness. What was left were only the emptiness and stillness.
Still like a mirror A mirror which can reflect everything.
Sila body was as transparent as Divine.
Divine, who was standing nearby, gave Sila a smile.
Very skillful. He is indeed more suited to be a psychic-type player. But he will have to keep himself in this state all the ti to be considered a true expert, Divine thought.
Once the inner selfs dark claw, filling with an insane amount of qi, struck at Silas transparent body; Silas body was illuminating an intense white light. The surroundings were covered by such light.
Then, the light faded off. Sila reopened his eyes.
The inner self stood in front of him. Its boy was full of cracks. It soon dissolved into particles and slowly dispersed in thin air.
A system sound alard.

Skill (F) Transparent Sli has been promoted to skill (S) Moon Reflecting Mirror.
Player Sila has overco all three parts of the Way of Slis ordeal.

Sila was surprised by the fact that the Heart of Sli skill also got promoted.

Racial skill: (S) Way of Sli
[Sealed until player can comprehend the way of sli.]
Sila looked at Way of Slis description with a frown. It seed he had got another strange and hard-to-understand skill again. Sli race is indeed a very difficult race to play.
Why is my Way of Sli skill sealed? Sila asked Divine.
I cant answer that. If Sila really wants to know, its better to ask to the sli who has this sa skill.
Who is it?
Sli King. His Majesty is the sole sli who possess this skill. No, thats incorrect. Currently, Sila is another sli who possess it even though you still cant use it, Divine answered.
Sila nodded. He was bound to go back to visit Sli King again anyway. Its due to the fact that he still hadnt turned back to human form even though he had passed the ordeal.
Before Sila go, I would like to give Sila a warning regarding the Moon Reflecting Mirrors weaknesses, Divine said.
Does this skill have weaknesses? Sila asked. He just noticed that its an S-grade skill without apparent weakness shown in the skill description.
Although this skill possesses very high utility and is able to counter almost every kind of attacks, due to Silas own lack of experience, it currently has three weaknesses, Divine explained.
Sila nodded. He could accept the fact that this skill has weakness due to his own incompetence. He knew full well that this skill was very hard for him to use.
First, the concept of this skill heavily relies on emptying your mind. With Silas current ability, you wouldnt be able to activate it together with other skills, Divine said. Sila completely agreed with this. He was indeed unable to empty his mind while performing other activities.
Second, this skill only works for attacks that you understand ability of or are familiar with. The mirror can only reflect what it sees.
Lastly, with Silas current ability, you would only able be to use this skill in a defensive manner. However, Moon Reflecting Mirror can actually be used to directly perform an offensive act. All sli racial skills always have more than one way of being used, Divine concluded.
How can I do that, sir? Sila asked.
You have to find the answer by yourself. I can only give you a hint: a mirror doesnt only reflect an enemy, it can also reflect oneself.
Sila kept Divines statents in mind.
Afterward, Divine guided Sila out of this place.
