To have the power of protecting himself soon, Fane once again devoted himself to training. This time, he placed his entire focus on training the martial skill, Destroying the Void. Nonetheless, practicing a martial skill of this level was a difficult feat.
Some martial skills just were not meant to be trained. They required comparable fighting prowess to practice martial skills of the highest level, such as how those who were in the innate level can only practice martial skill of the 'Yellow' level and 'Red' level.
The martial skill that was a level higher-the 'Earth' level—was not something someone in the innate level could get involved in. However, it so happened that
Fane was able to ignore this rule.
He fused the soul fragments of this great master, his predecessor. Since this great master was able to succeed in practicing this martial skill, Fane only needed to integrate the memories, and he would be able to completely learn this martial skill.
On top of that, the level of Destroying the Void was unknown, and Fane was only making assumptions. The martial skill was at least in the 'Heaven' level, and there were four levels for it. For the time being. Fane tried to practice the first stage where he formed a Soul Sword and had it attached to his hands.
The token of success for the first stage was to form ten Soul Swords and control them to fuse together or separate them at ease. Fane originally thought that it would not be too troublesome for him to form the Soul Swords, seeing as he had the memories of that predecessor fused with his.
However, he had underestimated how difficult it was in training the Destroying the Void skill. Forming the first Soul Sword alone used up two months of Fane's time. Within these two months, Fane had been training his soul restlessly to form the seal so that his soul could form the Soul Sword.
This was the most difficult martial skill Fane had to practice in this lifetime. If he did not have a strong willpower and the memories of the great masters, he would never be able to form the Soul Sword within two months.
Forming the first Soul Sword only meant that Fane had entered the training of the Destroying the Void and had not even achieved the first grade. He could only be considered as entering the first grade after he managed to form ten Soul Swords and can control them with ease.
However, such progress had already used up most of Fane’s mental strength. Nash, Selena, and the rest persuaded Fane to not rush through things. Speed, after all, was the enemy of training.
Nash gave words of warm-hearted advice and encouragement. "I know you want to have a firm foothold in this world, but you also need to know that the martial art culture in this world is so much more developed compared to that of the Cathysia world. You know deep down that it’ll take an unknown amount of years for you to stabilize your position in this world based on your current fighting prowess. If you continue to rush things, you might go in the wrong direction.”
Fane gave a small nod of response. He knew that what his father said was for his benefit, and he naturally knew how to listen when somebody spoke to him with good intentions. "You’re right. No one can grow fat after just having a mouthful of food. What I had been doing was rather dangerous."
Nash stretched out his hand and patted Fane on his shoulder. "How about this: You should rest for these couple of days or bring Kylie out for a walk. Zenith Sun City isn't a big city under the control of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Although there are many masters there, you won't be in trouble if you’re careful."
In fact, Nash also constantly left for strolls during this period. Of course, the area of his movement was restricted to the inn's surroundings. Fane was also worried that something terrible might befall his father should he have walked too far away.
After all, there were many extremely powerful people in this world, and with his current power, it was impossible for him to do everything as he liked. During this time, Nash managed to obtain lots of news. As Fane had been in retreat for training during the past couple of months, Nash told Fane about everything to prevent any unnecessary trouble.
