"Could it be… Takeno-kun's past life was a martial artist? ???" Kumoko's eight eyes shone as she looked at Ryu Takeno, full of admiration.
Hee hee hee ha hoo~ I'll take on ten!
Kumoko imagined herself in a training suit, taking on ten opponents.
Slap!
"What are you daydreaming about!" Ryu Takeno tapped Kumoko's head with his tail. In the telepathy state, he could hear her thoughts clearly.
"Though I'm not a martial artist, and I can't take on ten opponents…"
Kumoko felt disappointed.
She thought she could become a female martial hero, embarking on a thrilling and adventurous life.
"But…" Ryu Takeno paused, teasing Kumoko, then continued, "I can't take on ten opponents, but I can master elemental manipulation and enhance my life force. Want to learn?"
"…Elemental manipulation… enhance my life force!!! Isn't that even more amazing than a martial hero?! (p≧w≦q)"
"I want to! I want to learn!!"
Kumoko's dejection vanished instantly.
A martial artist who could take on ten opponents couldn't compare to someone who could control the elements and enhance their life force.
Legend speaks of ancient masters in the East who honed their abilities through rigorous training, achieving mastery over the elements and extending their lifespans. They could control the weather, manipulate earth and water—feats of incredible power.
These abilities far surpass those of the gods in Japanese mythology.
Of course, with Ryu Takeno's current abilities, he couldn't do such things. He hadn't even fully awakened his latent power, let alone control the elements. Before unlocking his Dragon Bloodline's full potential, even breathing fire was difficult.
He needed to unlock his Dragon Bloodline's full potential.
The middle layer of the Elroe Great Labyrinth, with its geothermal energy, while not as potent as other sources, was sufficient to partially awaken his Dragon Bloodline.
Ryu Takeno taught Kumoko the techniques to enhance her abilities.
But…
"(￣△￣;) Um… Takeno-kun, I don't understand."
Kumoko looked at Ryu Takeno sheepishly. She understood each word individually, but together, they were gibberish.
Terms like energy absorption, life force enhancement, and power-ups were completely foreign to her.
Seeing Kumoko's confused expression, Ryu Takeno realized he had to teach her from scratch.
Ryu Takeno patiently taught Kumoko about enhancing her abilities and the meaning of the terms.
First was sensing ambient energy.
Ambient energy is the life force of all things, a type of energy present in everything, the vital energy of the universe, the essence of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers.
Those who hone their abilities do so in three ways: absorbing ambient energy; consuming food to absorb its life force; and cultivating inner strength.
However, those who haven't awakened their inner potential can only passively absorb ambient energy, eat, and breathe, thus unable to achieve significant power enhancement.
Those who have awakened their inner potential can actively absorb ambient energy, eat, and breathe, thus achieving significant power enhancement.
Kumoko and the people in this world passively absorbed energy through 'd's system.
That's why, after Kumoko passively became powerful, she lost all her abilities, forgetting how to use them, becoming vulnerable to even ordinary humans.
Could that even be called becoming powerful?
?(????) Amazing!
But she still didn't understand.
Though Kumoko didn't understand, she sensed that what Ryu Takeno described—ambient energy, life force enhancement—sounded amazing, especially the mention of enhanced power.
"Okay, okay, I'll explain simply. Calm your mind and feel the world, feel yourself."
Kumoko, not understanding, did as Ryu Takeno said.
She closed her eight eyes, clearing her mind and feeling the world and herself.
Gradually…
Kumoko felt a strange sense of merging with nature. It was amazing. She felt energy flowing within her, and energy flowing in the air around her.
This is what Takeno-kun called ambient energy, life force enhancement?
Ryu Takeno, watching Kumoko, noticed her breathing become rhythmic. She was absorbing ambient energy, strengthening her abilities.
Self-taught.
Was her talent that good?
