"Alright, let's start the training." After finishing the breakfast, Mad Beast Emperor stood up and took them out. After going out of the house, Mike stretches his hands and took a deep fresh morning breath. Suddenly, his eyes expression changed.
"Ugh! This stinks!" Upon smelling the surrounding, Mike realized everything around them stinks. The whole environment was filled with the smell of dead bodies.
"Wear a mask, you idiot!" Jenny gave him a mask while showing up her mask. It was a normal mask but contains an air purifier. It had a normal shape of a medical mask and comes in different colors. The mask in his hand was blue.
'Although I never used a mask, I heard they use nano fans to purify the air.' While wearing the mask, he praised it but suddenly, a thought struck his mind 'I wonder if they have Air Purifying Underwear or Gas Blocking Underwear.'
...
'What the hell am I thinking? This is the not right time to think about it.' Mike slapped his own head to get out of his imaginative world where he was eating different delicacies all day long knowing things will never get out of his underwear.
"Mike, focus here on running!" Only then Mike saw others were already running away. Mike immediately hastened his pace while thinking 'I will browse it tonight.'
His group of five ran five kilometers without stopping for a single second. For Mike, Jenny, and Mad Beast Emperor, it was nothing. But, Lucas and Sunny were panting on the ground. Seeing their condition, Mad Beast Emperor sat on broken rock and looked at Mike.
"Mike, I will call you 'boy' from now on. Will it be okay with you?" Mad Beast Emperor asked
"It doesn't matter. I think calling me disciple would be old fashion." Mike nods his head with agreement.
"Alright, so before we officially start this training. I would like to give this to you." Saying so, he took out a crimson orb. Seeing this, Jenny's pupils shrunk. But others were confused.
"You should already know about Original and Inherent Innate Ability, right?" Mad Beast Emperor asked with a smile on his face.
"Don't tell me this has Inherent Innate Ability?" Mike looked at him with shock on his face and asked.
Lucas and Sunny also looked at the orb with wide eyes.
"Yes, this orb has S-Rank Innate Ability- Darkness Spear. Although Inherent Innate Ability isn't comparable to Original in growth, it can still show its power during battle. I think you should absorb it. Take this as my first meeting gift." Mad Beast Emperor spoke while stretching his arm.
"Master, I'm sorry but I won't accept Inherent Innate Ability. I have Brute Force and Fire Element. Although both of them are A-Rank, it won't take long to reach S-Rank. S-Rank Inherent Innate Ability only has the growth speed of Original A-Rank Innate Ability." Mike instantly rejects it.
"Huh! Are you freaking serious? When did your Brute Force reach A-Rank? Wasn't it C-Rank a few days ago?" Mad Beast Emperor instantly grabbed his hand and shouted with amazement in his eyes. Suddenly, a powerful aura swept inside Mike as he tried to look inside.
When he saw the Silver Core, he was speechless. It took him so long while his disciple only took a week or two.
"Master, you are doubting my earning ability. I might not be a businessman. But I know what advantages I have and how to use them." Mike made a proud look on his face and slightly gazed at his little brother and nods his head.
"And, here I spent years to evolve my Innate Ability." Mad Beast Emperor suddenly got disturbed by Mike's exclaim. He almost fell to the ground but noticed the orb in his hand was gone.
"Although I won't use it, I will still accept your first gift, master." Saying so, he rushed towards Lucas and Sunny. He thought for a moment and stand in front of Sunny, passing her the orb "Take it and absorb it!"
"Huh?" Sunny and Mad Beast Emperor looked at him with confusion. Suddenly, Sunny's hand started shaking as she took a step back and denied "M-Master, it is not a good idea to waste it on me. Both Lucas and Mistress have A-Rank Innate Ability, it would be good for them."
"Unfortunately, it's not suitable for them. Jenny already has something better. Even though I don't know what it might be, but it would be better than Inherent S-Rank Innate Ability. Am I wrong, Jenny?" Mike made a mysterious smile when he turned back and asked her.
"No, you are right. I have something ten times better than this. So, I won't accept it." Jenny shook her head and answered.
Then, Mike pointed to Lucas and said "As for him, he has already chosen Sword as his weapon. If it was anything else than a weapon, then I would've given it to him. But since it is a spear, he won't take it. Not to mention, he already has A-Rank Lightning Innate Ability."
"In our team, only your talent and strength are at the lowest. If you don't improve, you will be left behind. After all, you shouldn't have forgotten about the position Jenny has granted you, right?" Mike finally asks with a crafty smile on his face.
Hearing his words, Sunny's face darkened. He was right. She was behind everyone. Even with dual cultivation, she wasn't sure to catch up with others without proper talent. Finally, she mustered up the courage and took the orb in her hands. But still, she looked at Mad Beast Emperor for his approval.
"Girl, since he has given it to you, it's yours. Well, this settles my first gift. After I give him some task, I will guide you for absorbing the orb." Mad Beast Emperor released a deep breath with a helpless sigh. No one really cares about its price, do they?
Even Jenny was cool with it even though she knew the price of it. But it wasn't her fault. She treats Sunny as a part of a big family. So, she doesn't think it would be wasted on her. But still, the market price of S-Rank Inherent Innate Ability would be fifty billion dollars.
If Sunny finds this, she would be petrified. That's not a normal amount. And, more importantly, it's only the starting price.
Sunny nods her head and gripped the orb as if it was the best treasure in the world. The smile on her face widen and she took at Mike with grateful eyes. But suddenly, her heartbeat jerked because she noticed Mike was leaning very close.
He came closer to her ears and whispered "Once you absorb it, you can be a real help for me for dual cultivation."
Hearing his words, her face turned red as her heartbeat increased. She knew what he meant. And, she felt like floating up high in the sky for a moment. She didn't know how to describe this feeling. (A/N- I don't know how to describe her feeling. Just think if she has won one billion dollar lottery in our world)
"Ahem!" Mad Beast Emperor cleared his throat to gain Mike's attention. Mike also understood it and turned around. He walked in front of Mad Beast Emperor.
Then, Mad Beast Emperor looked at Lucas and Jenny "I only have the training plan for Mike. So, you can do whatever you want."
Just when he stopped speaking, Lucas turned around and walked away. He wasn't going towards home rather towards the Zombies. There was only one thing in his mind. Battle!
While Jenny retreated near Sunny, she also looked at Lucas with surprise. Sunny also looked at Lucas's back and spoke "He feels responsible."
"A man who was held like a prince by his elder brother and sister would feel the same way after losing one of them. While they were living a hard life to give him an easy life, he was only thinking of ways to repay them. But, just before he could get stronger to protect them, he lost his brother. I just hope he won't do anything stupid." Jenny had a trace of worry in her eyes.
She has begun to treat Lucas as her little brother. And the feeling of being an elder sister made her understand his pain.
"Mike, he chose the sword path because he lost his brother, right?" Mad Beast Emperor also looked at Lucas's back and asked.
"Yes!" Mike's voice carried a deep emotion. He almost choked because he had the same feeling as Lucas. Although it might not be deeply carved as Lucas's, it was still there.
"This is really infuriating." Mad Beast Emperor fondles his head and took out a potion bottle with red blood inside it and a book. Then, he looked at Jenny and called her.
"Catch up to him and give these! Tell him to practice sword only if he is truly determined. Because without a desire to practice Sword, he can't awaken Sword Will or manifest Sword Spirit. As for the blood, tell him to swallow it at once."
"I have set some Spatial Restriction on it. It will be stored in his central core and he can only absorb a certain amount of energy from it. This is the blood essence of Half-Saint. It will temper his body better than true dragon blood."
When Jenny took them, she looked at Mad Beast Emperor with visible shock.
"Thank you, Master!" Mike immediately thanked him but he didn't understand why Mad Beast Emperor gave him such a luxurious gift?
"I just want you to have a hundred percent focus on your training."
