God´s Eyes

Hearing a thumb slap through the messenger crystal, both Dalia and Shane were confused, which caused them to simultaneously blurted out

"Jason! Are you alright?!"

Noticing that he was still in a call with his masters, Jason told them that he was fine before he decided to reveal everything about the two Terra-grade manuals his masters gave him to study.

Not knowing where to start, Jason chooses to let his masters know the facts, straight without holding back

"I have something else to tell the two of you, which has nothing to do with the Big-Three tournament...When Dalia told me that I received the two original Terra...eh...blessed manuals, I first started to read the translations and I noticed that something was off because it seemed like the translations were somewhat off.

As such, I remembered that I could understand the foreign races talking to each other, and even though I don't know why, I started to look at the original text.

In the end, I was once again overwhelmed by pain, with many streaming inside me, but that's not important right now!! More important is, that I was able to read the original text within the techniques that hail from other races! "

Jason took a few deep breaths, as he noticed the silence on the other side, which caused him to wonder if there was something wrong with the transmission when Shane faintly uttered"What?!.... Wait...continue….."

It was probably shocking for them to figure out that he was able to read the manuals' original texts, and Jason understood their concern as he continued.

"The two blessed techniques, like we called it previously are called 'Terra-Intermediate--Netherworld's forte' and 'Terra-Basic--Darkness proselytism'. As such, their grade is not called blessed, but Terra and the Darkness proselytism technique allows someone with a single darkness affinity to transmute one's mana in darkness mana with certain unique effects that might awaken during the process.

Unfortunately, someone with multiple affinities can't practice it, and it's harmful to anyone who wants to use multiple affinities while practicing this technique if they were to disregard the well-meant advice, written over several pages.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld's forte technique is a body refining technique, that allows foreign races to strengthen and refine their body which allows them to be as strong as beasts at the same rank!

In the Netherworld's fort introduction part, it was clearly written that almost all races are innately weaker than foreign beasts, and comparing their strength to humans, they should be slightly stronger, at most, with a few exceptions.

However, due to their body refining techniques, they can fight against beasts head-on without the need to rely on their quantity to fight Monarch-ranked beasts for example, as humanity was forced to do so…

I also studied the introduction of both Terra-grade techniques and have to say, that the intel I received is terrifying, beca--"

"STOP!" Shane suddenly shouted in anger, and it was obvious that he was uncomfortable with what he heard "Can you please not throw the information at us as if we would understand everything immediately!! Even if we're old, what you're talking about is new..and shocking…please be more considerate!!

Shane felt as if his whole world was shattered with the information Jason already told, and he didn't seem to have even started!

However, he had to stop his disciple for a moment, as he noticed Dalia's shaking hand resting on his shoulder, smiling lightly as he saw both fear and excitement gleaming in her eyes.

Both didn't know what the hell was going on, but hearing that the foreign races were not innately much stronger than humans was good to hear, while Jason's current intel already scared Dalia, because she didn't want to hear what was coming now because she could already estimate where his words were going to...

Holding her hand, Shane forced himself to calm down, as he asked his disciple

"So, you want to tell us that the foreign races are innately weaker than beasts and that the body refining technique, or whatever it is called, is the reason for their strong physique?"

Shane seemed to have gathered his senses to a certain degree as Jason answered slowly.

"Yes, that's exactly the case and I can also prove the efficiency of the body refining technique.

By practicing the Netherworld's forte technique with an astronomical amount of mana stones and nutrition, I was able to refine my physique to a certain degree but I noticed that this doesn't work for the amplification I received from my soulbonds, which is a slight downside.

As such, my physique which should only be at the 6th Adept rank due to my mana core rank became stronger and more endurable.

Adding the amplifications I receive from the soul world core and my soulbonds, I should be able to fight low-evolved beasts head-on soon, without using any mana! Isn't that great?!"

Jason was really excited about the things he found out when he heard Dalia shouting through the messenger crystal.

"DO YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF!?!?"

Hearing this caused him to stumble back, until he fell on his bed, as he looked at the messenger crystal in shock.

'Why is she shouting so loud? I was careful!'

Calming down, she added

"Jason! Why are you always acting so reckless… couldn't you have waited for us or at least discussed something important like this?! What if this body refining technique was harmful to your body?! You could have permanently damaged your whole body and maybe even your soul world? You don't know anything about the technique and practicing it without any preparations is plain stupid!!"

Frowning, Jason found that Dalia exaggerated a little bit, as he retorted

"The Shore family also practiced this technique, and they didn't even do it right! Yet, they were still considered a big clan, even if they were one of the weaker ones...I read through the body refining technique multiple times and only practiced it for a short period in order to figure out if there was an issue.

After each session, I carefully observed my whole body and tested if there was anything amiss, with either my affinities, movement, health or mana circulation.

I understand that I could have called you two to figure out more together, but I don't even know how many times a messenger crystal can be used before breaking because the two of you didn't tell me that! Should I have asked Till or Old Drake how often a messenger crystal can be used?! If I did that, I could've just given them my messenger crystal, because it would become entirely useless…"

Even if he was aware that he acted recklessly, his masters were not entirely without fault. If he called them because of every single problem, the messenger crystal would have already crumbled, without him being able to discuss how to handle the issue with Old Drake at the Big-Three tournament.

As such, he had to be careful with each call he made, as he heard Dalia sighing deeply.

"I'm sorry Jason...somehow I couldn't help myself...Maybe the information you already said is too much for me to digest...So you refined your physique with the body refining technique? If you're feeling good that's fine.

Hearing that you can almost fight against low-evolved beasts without the usage of mana is amazing! We have to test this further, once you arrive at our new hideout."

Shane at the other side of the messenger crystal looked at Dalia, worried because it has been a long time since she was unable to control her emotions, as he rubbed her back gently.

"Jason, is there anything else you want to tell us? Please be considerate to us!!" Shane said, still looking at Dalia.

However, Jason was still unaware of the shock he created within his masters, and being considerate was not his strength, as he just continued to lay down the facts he figured out.

"Both techniques have the same mana core ranking system, while they also wrote about lower planets and that their number is unimaginably vast.

Meanwhile, if I'm not wrong, the introductory part also labeled Argos as an infant among the lower planets. The cultivation system description and the part about the planets were only a few sentences inside the whole introduction but Isn't that interesting!?

Apparently, what we separated in three to four ranks is only considered a single stage according to the foreign race mana core ranking!

Their Mortal stage is consistent with our Novice-Adept-Expert and Master rank, while their second stage is labeled Ligue state starts at the magus rank with the compression and liquefaction of the first drop of mana and…"

"JASON!" Shane shouted once again, causing Jason to frown, as he innocently, yet slightly annoyed asked "What?!"

"I told you to be considerate!?!? Since when is revamping our complete system and indicating that humans are less insignificant than we already imagined, considerate?! Argos is an infant among the lower planets?! An unimaginable vast number of lower planets?!" Shane shouted, without being able to hold back anymore, as his disciple seemed to have become denser since they parted ways

Hearing Shane shouting at him, he thought for a moment, as he subconsciously uttered an "Oh...true!"

Dalia behind Shane still shivered slightly as she tried to tell Jason to not mind her husband.

"Don't mind Shane...It's just too much for us to understand, that we are considered insignificant by the other races...We already knew that the gap between us and them was wide, but the revamped mana core ranking system you talked about is…..just too much.."

Listening carefully to Dalia, Jason's eyes widened, as it seemed that she sobbed, which caused him to feel guilty and uncomfortable about his density when he noticed the runes on the messenger crystal flickering.

Shane seemed to notice the same, as he told Jason, as calm as possible, trying to suppress his shaking voice

"Give your best at the Big-Three tournament and don't let anyone beat you up! When I take you to our new hideout, we'll have to talk about all the things you got to know from the two blessed...or Terra?-grade techniques...Don't message us for now because we can't be sure if someone else might accidentally connect to our frequency if the Drake family patriarch were to appear to watch the Big-Three tournament…"
