"He must be in the first stage," answered Fane just as the two on the battle platform were gettinginto the heat of the fight.
Fane's reply caused Noel, who was facing the battle platform, to turn around and look him straightin the eyes with an expression that left no room for doubt that he was crazy.novelbin
"What is this first stage thing you're talking about? Don't tell me you don't know that we don't usefirst or second or third to ascertain the level of a martial art skill or technique?”
The corners of Fane's lips twitched. It was only natural he did not know how the rules in this part ofthe world worked, after all, the soul fragment he had obtained was not someone from the HestiaContinent.
Looking at Fane’s expression, Noel had already gotten his answer. "I'm beginning to suspect thatyou have been living under a rock all this while. How could you not know all these?” said Noel withan air of resignation.
Fane coughed gently while trying to think how to answer Noel. "Yes, you're right. I've been livingunder a rock all this while. I hope you don’t mind me asking all these. They say anyone could beyour teacher and you just so happen to be mine right now.”
Fane's words obviously did the trick for Noel as he started explaining happily to him about all theinner workings of the Hestia Continent. "No matter the technique or skill, there are three levels tocultivation —preliminary, proficient, and perfection. For example, Wesley's Seven Stars MeteorCloud seems to be at the level between preliminary and proficient meaning to say he had attainedthe preliminary level and was close to the proficient level. Once he reaches the proficient level, hewould surely be able to strike Dale down with one
swing of his sword." Fane nodded and guesse even touched the preliminary level on his cultivationof Destroying the Void skill. According to the skill's introduction, one would have to be able tocondense and master the control of at least ten Soul Swords to reach the preliminary level.
Not only would Fane need to be able to combine the ten Soul Swords but also control themindividually to surround his enemies. At that thought, he started to panic as he had no idea whatkind of martial skill would be most suitable for this kind of attack. Should he follow Dale's footstepsand choose the daggers?
Just when he was contemplating all these, the battle between Wesley and Dale had reached itsclimax. Wesley was acting like a male peacock as he confidently bombard Dale with his swordattacks and from the frown on Dale's face, he was trying to suppress his anger at the helplessnessof it all.
Finally, Dale was not willing to continue on. With a push from his pointed foot, he managed to putsome distance between the two of them. He quickly performed a hand seal and rays of red lightbegan to envelop the whole area as they transformed into flames which danced with the samerhythm as if they were synchronized swimmers.
"Divine Sky Crows!" shouted Dale ferociously. The flames started burning more vigorously and, tothe astonishment of all the spectators, transformed into flaming birds.
