Damien smiled lightly and looked through what Xinyue took from the library.
'Stagnant Universe Divine Canon, Temporal Freeze, and…Trait Enhancent? Interesting.'
The first was an ice law manual created by a supre genius of the forgotten era. The man who created the technique was evil and insane to the extre. His aim was to freeze the universe and keep it as a showpiece in his collection, however, the technique he created to do so wasn't inherently evil.
Rather, on his path to freeze the universe itself, his first discovery was how to freeze Spaceti. The Stagnant Universe Divine Canon was exactly this technique.
The first skill that Xinyue chose was also an ice skill relating to ti, however, its use was more local. The manual and skill were equivalent to macrocosm and microcosm.
These were all skills that Xinyue had a great affinity with, so it wasn't surprising that she chose them. What surprised Damien was her final choice.
Rather than a skill, Trait Enhancent was a single-use technique that could intrinsically increase the grade of a trait, as suggested by the na.
This technique was useless to most, and since it was single use, not many considered it worth learning, but for Xinyue, it would yield an imnse harvest surpassing anything else she could've obtained from the Void Library.
The All-Seeing Eyes were already an evolvable trait. With a qualitative boost from Trait Enhancent, they would beco a true force to be reckoned with.
This was the skill Damien believed would be best for Xinyue, but he didn't know whether or not she would look past the short-term benefits of so more powerful techniques to choose it.
Seeing that she had, he couldn't help but smile.
"Good. Since you've made your choices, there isn't much else to do here. After I run a quick errand, we will return to the Wild Continent to have so fun."
"Fun?" Xinyue questioned.
Damien smiled slyly and glanced at her.
"Hasn't a large Nox Army co to explore the Void Corridor? Since the opportunity to feast is in front of , do you think I, as a sane person, can reject it?"
Xinyue's eyes widened.
To view an army of several hundred million as a feast…
'As expected, this man is a maniac.'
Xinyue was never surer of a thought in her life.
***
Theavel was ho to many different bios, reflecting all possible environnts one could imagine, but the most prevalent had to be the beautiful luscious plains that spanned great lengths of almost every continent.
These fields were the epito of nature, representing Theavel's budding life as well as the vitality that the new world held.
Among the various environnts of the world, this one was the elves' favorite.
They nurtured the flora, raised fauna, and turned these empty fields into thriving prairies filled with life.
Within one of these prairies on the Central Continent, a little girl ran free without a care in the world.
She looked about 13 years old. Her long black hair and big eyes gave her an irresistibly cute appearance that provoked almost everyone in Theavel to spoil her.
Compared to the environnt she'd been born into, the environnt that killed her family, the environnt she'd grown up in for the past 8 years was like Heaven and Earth.
And compared to the naive child she was 8 years ago, she was now a willful teenager who was starting to beco her own person.
"Big brother, you ca!" She exclaid as Damien's figure materialized in the field nearby.
She ran over and launched herself into his arms, clinging to him like a koala.
Damien smiled wryly. "Xue'er, you're already a big girl. How co you're still so attached to your big brother?"
Xue'er lifted her head off his chest and grinned widely. "Because big brother is the best!"
"Tch, excuses," Damien muttered with a smile, flicking Xue'er's forehead and peeling her off of him.
"Have you been doing well? Your teacher isn't bullying you, is she?" He asked.
Xue'er shook her head furiously. "Of course, not! If it wasn't for teacher, I wouldn't have been able to talk to my spirit friends so well! Don't be an to her!"
"Oho, so you care about your teacher more than your big brother now? Elvira, it looks like we need to have a chat later."
Damien glanced back at Elvira, who he'd brought with him, and raised his fist in defiance.
It was also at this ti when Xue'er recognized the existence of the two others who'd co with Damien.
"Teacher! And…a new big sister…?" Xue'er said, quirking her head as she scanned Xinyue up and down.
Xinyue looked away uncomfortably without saying anything. In the first place, she'd only been brought here so she couldn't raid the library while Damien was busy.
While she chose not to enter the conversation, Damien furrowed his brows in mock anger.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He scolded, sending a fierce karate chop to Xue'er's forehead.
"Leave my forehead alone!" She exclaid.
"If you want to stop, you have to beat first!"
Damien declared smugly.
"Hmph! I'm strong now too, big brother! I'll beat you up and chop your forehead back!"
Xue'er put her fists up as she spoke, and surprisingly enough…
A current of mana flowed from her body and flared into the surroundings.
Damien smiled slightly as he blocked the punches that followed.
Looking at her now felt surreal.
Ti was truly an incomprehensible thing. While experiencing it oneself, it didn't feel like anything at all, however, witnessing a change as drastic as a child's growth grounded the concept and forced one to realize its passing.
Damien was currently experiencing this feeling.
When did that little Xue'er beco so big? She was already up to his stomach in height, and even though she still displayed willful innocence, he could clearly see a light of maturity growing in her eyes.
He'd been so busy over the years that he'd never truly had ti to take her growth into account. That is, until two years ago.
Two years ago, when Damien realized that he would be trapped in the Void Corridor for a considerable amount of ti, he took a mont to enter the Sanctuary and rest his mind.
Unlike his previous small vacations, this one lasted an entire week. During this ti, he truly realized that Xue'er was no longer a child.
It was ti for her to make a decision for her future.
Whether or not she wanted to be a practitioner, Damien felt he knew the answer ever since he first saw her interacting with spirits.
Regardless, he had the conversation with her, and he received that obvious answer directly from her mouth.
From that point for tu, Xue'er beca Elvira's disciple and began studying mana and spirit control seriously.
The growth potential she'd showcased was sothing even Damien didn't expect.
It had only been 2 years, yet Xue'er had progressed far past her 1st class, and at this ti…
"Haa!" She let out a fiercely cute war cry as she slamd her palm through the air.
A colorful swirl of mana and spirits ford before her and shot at Damien like cannon fire.
This attack was terd "Swirly Beam" by Xue'er, and was a skill she earned upon promotion to her second class.
A class which she was already halfway through.
It was unfathomable.
A future 14-year-old 3rd class being…
Just what kind of monster had Damien picked up from the Trial World?
