Getting to know the soulbonds
Getting to know the soulbonds
"To put it simply, your foundation is weak, because you practiced a tierless martial art without properly training your body first.
Even if your proficiency with the Azure feisty ape technique reached the third stage i.e, experienced mastery, if your body cannot follow your train of thoughts, you're doomed.
I can see in your eyes that you can easily follow my movements and predict where I will hit you, but your body is too slow to react with its more cumbersome movements.
As a recommendation, I would give you the tip to change your martial art technique as the first thing to work on.
A modified technique is not as strong as an original, because some important sequences have to be changed to modify a weaponless martial art into one with weapons.
Later, I can look into our storage, if we have a gradeless basic foundation dual-dagger mastery martial arts technique, if not, we can purchase it.
Furthermore, you should use weights while training every muscle in your body!
Try to maximize your workout..it may save your life later!"
Jason was amazed by Greg's seriousness which he hadn't seen before, and he nodded as the determination to excel coursed through his veins, even if his entire body hurt.
During his spar with Greg, he noticed that he was really weak and his foundation couldn´t be considered to be good either.
This made him wonder if he was the same person who had killed five-star wild beasts. As such, Jason was thankful for his luck and other advantages.
Furthermore, Jason noted that his body had slowly adjusted itself to his spars with Greg, and maybe, if they continued, he might get stronger really fast..
Unfortunately, Greg was also behind others in his mana core rank which he had to catch up to fast, so he wouldn't have much time for Jason.
"Thank you, GREG!"
Jason said happily, his voice full of gratitude when he noticed a few strong mana fluctuations.
Turning around, he spotted nine magic circles in front of Malia, Greg, and Gabriella.
There were two magic circles in front of Malia, one of which was a large circle that flickered in a dark red color, while the other was a shining blue circle.
A miniature humanoid girl with wings on her back and blue hair that flew in all directions, appeared within the blue shining magic circle.
Meanwhile, a pitch-black colored horse with dark red flames instead of its mane jumped out of the dark red flickering magic circle. A small part of its legs above its hooves was enveloped in flames.To add to the eerie look, the horse's eyes were pitch black as well that made Jason's hair stand up on the back of his neck.
`This fairy is cute and probably at the peak of the evolved rank but what the hell is wrong with this horse?? Is that a Nightmare-horse? It's still at the unblemished rank and just a step away from entering the magical rank? Not bad…....but still scary!!`
Jason asked himself, shivering slightly when a few beasts jumped out of the magic circles in front of Mark.
Mark had, in total, three magic circles in front of him. While one was a small light-red one, a large red heat-hazed one, and a small faint green one that was even smaller than Artemis´ magic circle.
A small bat flew out of the small magic circle with its miniature stature. While its body was black, the eyes and ears were jade in color and it looked around, listening to the sounds before it jumped towards Mark.
The small light-red magic circle summoned a red-colored monkey with a brown belly and a small amber-colored horn right in the center of the forehead, while a ten-meter-long python with a burning tail appeared inside the large red heat-hazed magic circle.
`Mark's first contracted beast is a peak-awakened amber horned monkey? And the other two are a low-magical mutated miniature bat and a magical ranked Inferno-Python? WOAH!` Jason knew that Mark had contracted good beasts, but he was impressed to find out that his second soulbond was already a magical beast which was definitely above average on Astrix…
'Maybe he had to wait a long time until he had accumulated enough soul power to bind this magical beast if his first soulbond was an awakened beast! He is really patient…'
But Jason knew that Mark had used up all his slots for his soulbonds and it looked like the potential of his bonds was already used up.
Mark could only increase his strength by increasing his mana core rank and not by contracting another beast.
Jason knew Gabriella was stronger than Mark and the four magic circles in front of her proved him right. There were two purple magic circles enveloped in lightning, while the other two magic circles looked somewhat gentle and nice.
Out jumped A 15-meter long python and a large wolf enveloped in lightning jumped out of the purple magic circles.
Jason was more eager to see the other two magic circles and a somewhat familiar beast appeared inside the small white green-whitish magic circle.
It was a plant looking like a bell while a calm white curved horned sheep appeared out of the larger whitish magic circle.
Jason had heard more than enough about healing beasts and one of the more common ones was a sanctification bellflower which was a late evolved sentient plant that was also categorized into the beast section. The Wolf was also called Vicious Thunderwolf and was a late unblemished beast while the Thunderpython looked somehow similar to the Inferno-Python while both of them were at the magical rank.
But Jason had not heard anything about the sheep he could see in front of him, but he knew that Gabriella had an affinity to only two elements, healing and thunder.
As such, the sheep had to do with healing and Jason called it
`Unveiling curved horned sheep`.
It looked like this sheep had even the strongest mana core rank and it was most probably at the peak of the magical rank.
While looking at the beasts appearing out of the magic circles and strolling around, Jason concluded one thing.
Malia´s soul power was extremely high and she could form a bond with a peak-evolved beast as her first contract which was a fairy at that…
This was extremely rare, because not only were fairies rare, but also very willful with high soul energy demand and great affinity.
Furthermore, it could even reach the unblemished rank according to the color radiating from it, even if he predicted that the fairy would need some resources to reach that.
After that, she must have contracted a second soul beast which was the Nightmare-horse in front of him.
A Nightmare horse is a magical ranked beast and a ton of soul energy was required to control it.
Jason was amazed to see Malia have two strong soulbonds at her age.
He wasn't sure how many bonds she could form or how many elements she had an affinity with but `Water and Fire` were 100% among them as he already saw the transmuted mana within her.
Jason then continued with his observations and subsequent conclusions related to Mark and Gabriella.
Mark´s soul had the affinity of fire with two beasts and maybe a physical soul with one beast, which was the miniature jade bat.
Either this was the case or Mark´s second affinity had something to do with sound, but Jason had never heard of something like that so he thought it might be a double soul-awakening with small-sized souls.
Gabriella had space for four soulbonds and the affinity for thunder and healing that were both rare. A healing ability was one of the rarest abilities and highly demanded in hospitals, prestigious schools with many combat injuries, and even more so for hunting groups.
Mark and Gabriella's soulbonds looked like they were all at their racial limit and Jason wondered if there was a chance for them to evolve. His mana eyes didn't seem to work properly since he thought about his purification theory.
The only thing Jason knew was that the radiating color he saw was equivalent or even better than the newest potential tests developed by the best scientists.
There were millions of threads online that described the methods to force beasts to evolve and Jason had also heard of occupations called beast developers or 'Beast-Creator's. They could force beasts to evolve into a superior race with the right solution and ratio of magical ingredients/materials.
These beast creators had some restrictions while evolving beasts, but it was still possible for them to force an evolution while the beast had to stay within its tested potential.
Beast creators was an occupation that knew a lot about beasts and their possible evolution paths.
Someone might say that it was easy to know about all that, but it was extremely difficult to know which magical materials were needed to cause an evolution in addition to the ratio in order to prevent damaging the beast´s mana core temporarily or even on a permanent basis.
After evaluating a beast's potential, these creators would have to pick a suitable evolution path that was within its potential range.
Concocting a special reagent with the researched magical ingredients could increase the chance for a beast to evolve, but there were not many known recipes. Thus, mankind could only experiment with beasts and provide more information.
For these experiments, many beasts would be needed and it was easier to experiment with low ranked beasts than high ranked beasts.
This was also the reason for the increased price for low-ranked beasts with high potential as some of them would be used by the government to test certain evolution reagents.
These beast creators had to work within the range of a beast's potential and there was still not a single public known case where a beast had broken into a higher rank without having the required potential.
Jason tried to do his own research about these things, but his access was limited to only a few online threads which didn't need a special rank for access.
Jason was amazed after looking at the family's overall soul awakenings and their soulbonds..
Greg and Malia seemed to have much better soul awakenings than their parents but even theirs must be at 2 ½ or 3 stars, which was a good score and was above average.
Each soulbond was happy to be outside and they ran around, played with each other, or annoyed one another and everyone was happy to have settled in the new city.
