During that period, they had made a lot of enemies, whether intentionally or not. Even though they had been able to deal with it the whole time, Rudy was still a little afraid of the prodigies they knew nothing about.
Fane took a sip of tea and said plainly, "Calm down. In the Whirling World, as long as we take precautions, we won't find ourselves in any dangerous circumstances. However, if anyone provokes us, how can we not retaliate?"
Hearing those words, Rudy sighed helplessly. He knew that he would not be able to sway Fane, but he really was worried. The closer they got to the center of the Whirling World, the stronger their enemies would be. He could not imagine how strong the warriors in first-level cities would be.
Those chaotic thoughts surfaced in Rudy's mind. While he was scared, he was incredibly worried as well!
Fane sighed as he looked at Rudy, and gently placed the teacup on the table. "Don't worry yourself for no reason before anything happens; there's no point in that. You must be tired after the past few days, so go to sleep for now. Without permission, no one can come in here anyway. I'll try mastering Soul Sky."
Rudy nodded. There was an order in things, and even though he was worried, he had to put them aside before anything transpired.
There was a bed and a couch in the room. Fane let Rudy rest on the bed while he used the couch.
The storm god rank technique, Soul Sky, was a soul-attribute technique. Even powerhouses of the divine solidifying realm were often crushed by storm god rank techniques as they were incredibly difficult to understand. Just understanding the contents would usually take up a large amount of time, let alone getting it to a proficient level.
Those without enough talent would not even be able to understand the techniques, but these did not trouble Fane at all. With the memories from the ancient warriors, Fane did not need to try before he got a complete understanding of Soul Sky.
The situational bottlenecks that stopped others were nothing to Fane at all. He only needed to do one thing, which was to slowly start training on the technique from the start.
For others, storm god rank techniques were like massive mountains that needed a lot of time to climb. Some of the places did not even have a path for the warriors to climb on, requiring them to carve out a path for themselves. However, it was more akin to an empty bottle to Fane. He only needed to constantly add water to the bottle for him to train in the technique.
Storm god rank techniques were also split into three stages, and each stage had its own name. The first stage of Soul Sky was called the Broken Soul Blade. If Fane wanted to use Soul Sky against his enemies, he would need to get Soul Sky to proficiency. Only by getting it to that level would he be able to eliminate people with it!
Fane took a deep breath and took out the bounty he had accumulated in Mustard Seed. He took out the Purple Soul Fruit, the Green Phoenix Fruit, and the two soul gems, putting them all on the table. No matter if those treasures were useful or not, he would absorb them first.
Only by accumulating enough power could Fane condense a Divine Soul. With a Divine Soul, he would be able to use the Broken Soul Blade!
…
Time slowly ticked away, and they had been in the inner city for 10 days. While they had paid for their stay, the results Fane received were very…unsatisfactory.
In 10 days, he had only been able to absorb one soul gem and one Purple Soul Fruit, and he only had a tenth of a Divine Soul. This was not what he anticipated whatsoever!
He had thought that absorbing so many treasures would have at least allowed him to reach 60 percent, but it was a huge difference!
Rudy had already rested enough at that time and was drinking tea on the table. When Fane opened his eyes, Rudy let out a laugh as he said, "I've already paid for the fees and added ten more days. You still have one soul gem that you haven't absorbed. Good luck."
