Chapter 623 - Training
The third group that had to face the wrath of both Aeus and Devir, was called Tritans because of the three cultivation veins, paths, and energies that existed on Manyr.
There were other organizations that existed in the surrounding territories, but the largest was the Tritans that protected and nurtured those that were persecuted because of their awoken cultivation vein.
Jason found this extremely interesting because he recalled the young female halfling with three cultivation paths, who had caused a massacre in order to rescue three double awakened humans that had been too afraid to cultivate in a second cultivation path.
Only then did Jason truly understand the reason for this to happen because he hadn't known that double awakened were persecuted.
This was good to know, even if it was not important for Jason as he had only one cultivation vein.
However, he was determined to change this and was eager to be able to cultivate in more than one cultivation path.
At least, that was what Jason hoped because he felt that his Celestia bloodline was eager to be unlocked since he had entered Manyr.
Manyr was filled with dense, pure and a high quantity of the three cultivation energies, and Jason thought that his sealed bloodline was acting up because of the dense mana, or other two energies.
Maybe it was even because of all three energies, but that was not something he could figure out right now.
Right now, Jason felt as if he could unleash one, or maybe even two more, lesser threshold seals on his bloodline, but that was not something he was confident of.
There was the high possibility that multiple seals would break by the sudden outburst of energy the moment he unlocked one seal.
As such, Jason felt like he should enter the Prismar stage before it was safe to unleash more seals that laid on his bloodline.
Even after entering the Prismar stage, it was unlikely for him to be able to undergo his secondary Celestial bloodline awakening!
Deep inside his conscience, Jason was able to see the helix, representing his two bloodlines.
Looking at the several links between the two strands of both the human and the Celestia bloodline, he wondered how many awakenings it would take him to completely unseal his bloodline, altering the gene pool of two races that were polar opposites of each other.
Jason had been cultivating while being deep in thoughts, which was something he had started to comprehend during his two month long travel with the others.
They were able to cultivate while running too, and Jason had felt challenged and the need to up his game because of that.
Thankfully, his comprehension was extremely high, making it possible for him to learn thinking, talking, and even running with a movement technique activated while cultivating the Balance of the Universe technique!
This was exceptional, but at the same time, Jason had begun to wonder how useful his body refinement technique was!
While the others had already reached the peak of their body refinement technique owing to their cultivation base that was only slowly progressing, Jason was the complete opposite.
The Netherworld's fort technique was still at the beginning of the first stage, but Jason didn't feel like refining his body with it anymore!
Jason's reason behind this decision was simple.
'I should start looking for a better body refinement technique...the Netherworld's fort technique is not suitable anymore...cultivating gives me more benefits than refining my body…'
Since learning the cultivation technique, Balance of the Universe, Jason had been thinking about this. His earlier opinion of the Netherworld's fort technique's importance changed the higher his proficiency of the cultivation technique became.
As such, he had decided to not refine his body with the Netherworld's fort technique anymore!
It was simply a waste of his precious time because he would rather liquefy tens of mana drops instead of using a few days to refine his body, giving him a physical strength enhancement equal to a few drops of mana.
While Jason's cultivation base progressed rapidly during the last few months, the others had already reached the Prismar stage.
Thus, their progress was much slower than Jason's because every single step was equivalent to the effort worth years of tireless work for them!
Owing to this, it was possible for Jason to not only increase his combat prowess with every single spar he fought against the others, but he was slowly becoming stronger, making it more difficult for the others to hold back their strength.
When they fought their first battle, Nan wanted to spar against him as the first opponent.
Confident about her own combat prowess, she suppressed her strength to the 5th Lique stage, reaching the strength that was slightly above Jason's cultivation base.
Jason didn't mind this, and instead, he had asked her if she was fine with suppressing her strength to such a great extent because she was not accustomed to fighting in that state anymore.
WIth a lower physical strength and less spiritual force to use, her suppressed strength would be gradually reduced, reaching Jason's cultivation base.
Despite Jason's effort to convince her to suppress her strength just a little and not to match his cultivation base, Nan didn't listen, and she even ignored Alf Nas' words of caution.
Because of that Alf Nas decided that it was time for his oldest student to learn it the hard way, and Jason seemed to be the ideal person to make her see the truth.
Releasing a strand of his spiritual force, he transmitted his voice to Jason as he said,
[Please don't hold back too much. For her age and cultivation base, Nan is too childish and proud, and I know that your strength is, at least, comparable to that of someone, who has reached the peak of the Lique stage!
Just don't kill her, or seriously injure her!]
Jason could have never expected that he was supposed to be responsible to make Nan, who had five prismarine crystals in her spirit sea, swallow her pride.
Fortunately, this was not as difficult as he had expected, because it was his first spar, and only Alf Nas seemed to take him seriously.
As such, Jason did exactly what Nas had told him, outplay Nan, without holding back.
At that time, he had only used his ice affinity, physical strength, and mana to further enhance everything to defeat Nan. She had been overwhelmed by Jason's speed that had been several times higher than her restricted strength and speed.
Because of that, she had been forced to immediately release the majority of her restrictions, reaching the Initial phase of the Prismar stage.
However, even then, Jason didn't hold back as he appeared right in front of Nan, who had just unsheathed her longsword, only to feel her sight blur as dizziness overcame her.
Jason had instinctively used the petrification curse, allowing him to grasp Nan's sword arm, disarming her with a swift moment. She fell to the ground before he threw her over his shoulder.
Only a moment later, he was holding the tip of her sword against her neck with a light smile on his face.
"Your weapon is really good. You have to tell me who forged it!"
It was only after the first spar that everyone began to see Jason as a strong contender because his combat prowess was by no means to be taken lightly.
Thus, instead of thinking of Jason as some ordinary person at the Lique stage, the others simply imprinted his combat prowess of an Initial phase Prismar stage.
He might have overwhelmed Nan, but everyone who had observed the short battle that had lasted for less than 10 seconds, knew that Jason had held back.
The amount of mana he utilised at that time had been minuscule, and his eyes had gleamed in a faint light, indicating that the sudden dizziness Nan had experienced was something Jason's eyes could do!
Other than that, Jason hadn't used his stigma or aura at all, let alone the ice affinity that had only served as a short surprise attack at the start of the spar.
After the first spar, everyone had fought against Jason, which had turned into an experience they couldn't forget.
In the end, they hadn't fought against any Devir, or Aeus that had a mana core, and only a few beasts following the path of Maest existed in the surrounding area.
As such, Jason was a perfect opponent to train to fight against other intelligent races with a mana core, and affinities.
Jason knew this too, but he gladly helped, happy about being able to learn more about spiritual force in return.
His combat prowess increased rapidly, and he wouldn't want to change anything about the last two months. The time he had spent with Alf Nas and his students had been fruitful.
It had been interesting and extremely helpful because Jason could now enter Lanro city without having a bad feeling about anything.
