Chapter 274 - The Power In Her Eyes

"It's a Kalha."

The statement caused Re'Rak fright as his body trembled, feeling an instinctive fear towards the creature within. Seeing his reaction, Re'Kha chuckled, "Dad, I sealed it inside a vial. As long as you don't look into it, you will be fine. Face the flat surface towards yourself and the curved surface at your opponents. That would be enough to harm any foe you might encounter because of digging up on that mysterious organisation."

Re'Rak felt around the vial through the pouch, inspecting its shape as he carefully placed it in his pocket, "Alright, this will always save my life. But, if you sealed it within a vial, wouldn't it die from starvation?"

"I ground up an expended Water Qi Essence and poured the powder in it. So, it should be alive for at least a decade. And as long as you roam around in places rich with fear while carrying it, it should generate enough Fear Qi to sustain itself." Re'Kha replied.

"Smart. But, how were you able to trap a Kalha within this vial?" Hearing his question, Re'Kha began to explain the process she had used to trap the Kalhas in the vial. When she was done, Re'Rak looked at her for a moment before hugging her, "You've suffered through a lot."

'To think she is capable of such a feat even when she was blind.' Re'Rak shook his head, feeling proud but afraid at the same time. After all, judging by what his daughter had said, her fate would eventually cause her to clash with the mysterious organisation.

And seeing the extent of what they were capable of, Re'Rak couldn't fathom the horrors she would eventually have to face. Thinking of that, he felt sad. 'I guess I can only protect her. It seems I would need to prepare an army to mobilise when necessary, according to her needs.'

He then sighed, patting Re'Kha as he took a seat, 'I didn't approve of what Re'Bah had been scheming. But it seems to ensure the safety of Re'Kha, becoming the Central Lake seems like the best option.'

"Return to your house now. In the evening, I'll give you an elemental weapon that you can use publicly without fear. It has a Water Qi Essence fragment embedded in it and can emit Water Qi for thirty breaths. It's not much, but it will help you in situations with many eyes on you." Re'Rak said, dismissing Re'Kha.

On seeing her exiting figure, he felt sad for a moment at the chaos she would be subjected to next. His gaze became vicious as Re'Rak firmed himself, gazing at the Elemental Qi Essences before him, "Against such an opponent, I have to prepare accordingly."

"It seems I can no longer take a passive approach."

…

Re'Kha returned to her room, telling her servant Rim to inform her when it was time to assemble at the main hall. In the meantime, she planned to meditate first. Her priority now was to determine the abilities in her eyes.

After all, based on the Blinded Ghost's descriptions, she possessed three abilities. Seating herself on her bed, Re'Kha entered a meditative pose, focusing on her Pranic Heart first. She then slowly focused on her eyes, taking in deep breaths, remaining in such a state.

Time passed in such a manner before she felt a prickling feeling in her forehead, originating from her third eye. The eyelid fluttered for a moment before stopping. But just that single action caused the essence of her body, the essence of her race that existed in her naturally to affect her eyes, allowing her to feel the same sensation as when she learned a Pranic Art.

Kalki Qi!

Everyone from her race possessed a fair degree of Kalki Qi in their bodies. But, it wasn't detectable to a normal person. Only a Martial Master was capable of sensing it. A Harmoniser wasn't capable of sensing it, not to mention handling it.

But as long as it existed, it was able to display the effect of transmitting the existing information into the mind, allowing the mind and body to form a harmony. This was why they were called Harmonisers.

A Harmoniser didn't just form a harmony with nature or the element they wielded but also formed a harmony with their body. When a Harmoniser reached peak harmony with their body, they became a Martial Master.

But this was easier said than done, requiring decades' worth of effort. As for Re'Kha, all she managed to do was stir it up faintly by focusing on it for a long time. Because of it, the information existing in her eyes flowed into her mind.

If it was the usual her, something of this calibre wouldn't have been possible. But after her master's Pranic Heart fused into her, the Kalki Qi he wielded still remained in her Pranic Heart, allowing her to take shortcuts at times.

Because of this, she obtained such a response. After all, when a Harmoniser's third eye fluttered even once, it was a cause for celebration. It meant one was reaching peak comprehension of the Harmoniser Realm.

The process of information flow was slow since she was in a passive state, only able to concentrate on her eyes. The information streaming into her didn't make any sense. For it was full of disjointed instincts, habits, and knowledge.

It was like a broken puzzle. Only when she completed it would Re'Kha be able to understand the three abilities. Taking in a deep breath, Re'Kha exhaled, able to sense the same feeling she experienced while facing the Blinded Ghost.

For a moment, it did shock her. But upon seeing that it was generated from her eyes, she relaxed. She then recalled that at the end, the Blinded Ghost managed to refine her eyes into its shell. As for the implications related to that, she was unsure.

Whether or not the Blinded Ghost would be able to form in her through the eyes, she was unsure. As time passed in such a manner, the information flow finished flowing in her mind, causing her figure to emanate the same pressure as a Sha for a moment.

Her eyelids shot open, revealing jet black eyes that swirled.
