Chapter 644 - Eagerness
Chapter 644 - Eagerness
Standing in front of the portal, Jason felt the dense energy currents swirling inside the room subconsciously enter his body.
Feeling the pure mana enter his body, he couldn't help but feel a little bit astonished, only to come back to his senses a moment later.
'Why is the energy in this room so pure and both high in quality and quantity?' He wondered while trying to figure out the solution without wasting any time with what he was supposed to do right now.
While activating the runes, and choosing one of the few possible destinations which were shown via images that manifested above a set of runes, Jason's Emperor Eyes found something that was extremely interesting.
Through the layers of countless runes that created an octagram, a particular interconnection of a bunch of runes was pulling the three cultivation energies out of the depths of the ground.
This empowered the portal while filling every inch of space within the entire room with the purest mana, which Jason found to be extremely interesting.
Creating the portal must have been extremely difficult and Jason began to question himself whether Pera had created the portal, or someone else.
He was not sure how high her proficiency and talent with runes was, but considering that every single rune in the layers of octagrams was inscribed perfectly, he couldn't help but applaud the mysterious Inscriber. Instead of hurrying through the gate, he kept gazing at the smoothly connected layers that wasted not even a single centimeter of space, and it was obvious that the Inscriber was extremely talented and knowledgeable.
The Inscriber knew what he, or she, was doing!
Despite his interest in the overlapping octagrams, he couldn't afford to waste any more time and soon chose the destination Jen mentioned.
After that, the gate began to glow in a faint blue color as liquid manifested within it.
The liquid had a dark blue color, and held all the three cultivation energies in their compressed form, intertwined with the spatial affinity, allowing the teleportation, in the first place.
Taking a deep breath, Jason took one last look at the octagram before he entered the portal.
Only a few seconds later, he emerged in an open, barren area, where he was unable to see anything for some time, only to blurt out what was on his mind.
"That was….boring…"
While Jason expressed his opinion about the teleportation process, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, thinking that it was just normal teleportation, and not even close to the thrill he experienced upon entering a world bridge.
If one were to compare the feeling, it was as if one watched an extremely short, but also bad movie right after having watched a three hour blockbuster.
During the teleportation process, Jason hadn't even been able to see Manyr's environment. It was more like he didn't see anything because it was over before it had even started.
It was not like the stars and world which he had always seen in the tunnels through which one was pulled inside a world bridge.
Thus, it was only obvious because of the difference of time it took to be teleported and to enter a new world, and Jason could only grumble because he had been too excited.
Smiling lightly, he stood up, only to see that Jennifer was standing right in front of him.
"You're finally here! Was about time… What took you so long?"
She looked at him without disappointment, anger, or any negative emotions, which would have been suitable to the words she hurled at him that sounded more like an accusation.
Instead, it was more like she was impatient, yet smiling, glad that he had really come to the cadets camp which made Jason believe that Jennifer was either extremely bored or that she just wanted to strike a normal conversation with him.
He hoped it was the latter because the first would mean that the cadets were not talented, or strong enough to make Jennifer excited about training them.
Jason assumed that Jennifer was similar to him in multiple ways, and he also thought that she would be excited to fight or spar with someone strong.
That was why he could only hope that she wanted to start a conversation with him as his own excitement to fight began to increase.
It had been quite a while since a good fight, and the last spars he had were with the students of Alf Nas, where he had been forced to use much of his strength, but not all as he was forced to refrain from revealing his secrets.
This was not exactly different with Jennifer, or the cadets he would face soon, but somehow, Jason didn't feel like hiding anything anymore, not from her at least.
He knew Jennifer's secrets even without anyone telling him, and after being accepted by the City Lord, he was not sure if it was even necessary to hide the fact that his soul awakening was different from others, more unique and extraordinarily strong.
In the end, the others knew that he was a halfling, and even that he had three beasts which they believed to be tamed.
Other than that, his eyes' trait was obvious, and it was only the extent of the special trait his eyes had, which was unknown.
Thus, the others already knew most of his secrets which made him smile at Jennifer as he asked,
"I took a look at the countless runes around the portal. They're quite interesting. Did Pera inscribe them?"
Jennifer had already heard that Jason was easily fascinated by almost everything concerning the auxiliary occupations. As such, she hoped the same would happen in the cadets' camp!
This was important to her because she felt as if Jason was spending too much time within the auxiliary tower, instead of focusing on increasing his cultivation base, combat prowess, and so on.
He was already at a relatively low cultivation stage, considering his age and the mana mastery he had showcased by easily unlocking the library door's extremely complex lock.
Even if being able to see the connections of runes, and paper-thin energy threads that were intertwined with each other was uncommon, unlocking the library was something, a being without an extremely high mastery of the cultivated energy would be unable to do.
Nevertheless, lying to Jason would be useless, thus she was straightforward in her answer.
"Pera did, indeed, inscribe the portal runes, but she won't be able to teach you for the time being, because my master gave her a few tasks to do as punishment for leaving you alone on the day of your arrival.
But, let's change the topic...how about you fight with my cadets? This will help you figure out how strong you are in the face of those with double awakened cultivation veins!
If your combat prowess is high enough, I might even consider sparring with you!"
Smiling at the last sentence, Jennifer indirectly hinted that she was eager to see Jason's fight against others while revealing that she herself was hoping to fight him too.
This made Jason smile too as he couldn't help but feel that his assumption about their similarities was on point.
Thus, being equally eager to fight Jennifer, Jason's eyes began to gleam brightly as he looked straight into her silver-colored eyes that had crimson ringed pupils.
It was only then that Jason realised that Jennifer wasn't using her disguised identity anymore which made him laugh as he couldn't believe his stupidity.
'How did I not notice that?'
