Evening came.

Ling Ai's face was dripping sweat because she had tried all day long to perfect the stipple image on the tree.

"Aaaaaaahh!..."

Zhuanxu YeBai reclining on a tree warming himself from the bonfire was surprised hearing Ling Ai screamed. He immediately ran and checked out what happened to Ling Ai.

"Ling Ai! What happened?"

Zhuanxu YeBai saw Ling Ai dropped on the ground unconsciously as she was exhausted and her chi aura was used up. He carried her back to the bonfire and lay her gently beside the tree for her to rest.

After securing Ling Ai to rest, Zhuanxu YeBai goes back to the tree that Ling Ai recently hit with a crossed palm chi release.

Zhuanxu YeBai's eyes widened and his heart jumped as he was very surprised to what he is seeing.

"U-us? She engraved an image for both of us..." Zhuanxu YeBai stroking his thumb to the stipple image of both him and Ling Ai.

Zhuanxu YeBai didn't notice that he had already tears flowing down his eyes while watching the engraved image on the tree...

He was moved because it was the first time he felt appreciated by someone without presenting such a big achievement or an expensive gift. He remembered her mother that was very proud of him in all aspects and was overprotective to him since he was a child.

Zhuanxu YeBai was known as the feeble prince of Celestial lands country because he was weak as a child, but his intelligence and agility far surpasses any adult man or high-ranking Martial artists. People wanted to have fun of him because he was weak physically but they also couldn't as he was very terrifying in terms of sorcery and archery.

He was not to be looked down. But of all people, only her mother treated him fairly. She was sweet and caring to him incomparably as he was her only son and at the same time, she was also strict when it comes to Zhuanxu YeBai's noble discipline. She got his nobility from her mother and evilness from her father. But growing up, he easily turned away from evil as his goal was to overrun his emperor father in terms of battle army and cultivation.

All of it, just to stop the evilness of his father because he was disgusted by it.

From the moment he felt the texture of the stipple image from the tree, he remembered how he was loved unconditionally by her mother that was long gone without a trace. And his father never told him the truth but ended up scheming for him to be trapped and pulverize by the ancient legendary seal.

What his father does not know is that Zhuanxu YeBai is still alive because of Zhuanxu YeBai's strong fighting will and limitless chi cultivation.

"Thank you...Ling Ai."

Zhuanxu YeBai looking at the crescent moon and the glimmering stars with a beautiful smile on his face and his eyes shone a light that was hoping for a greater future.

The 21st day of Ling Ai's one-month training by her Master.

"Ling Ai wake up. Time to train but first eat breakfast with this."

Ling Ai's eyes were blurry as she was still sleepy. She saw two big circular red objects that were being broiled by Zhuanxu YeBai.

Ling Ai stood up and went to the nearest river to wash up her face and then go back to the hill to start training with her master.

Before, Ling Ai was catching her breath running with her grandfather Zhang Mo but now she is completely different and way stronger. She goes down the hill just to wash her face up on the river and climb right away without feeling anything heavy on her chest neither huffing anymore.

"I'm back Master.. Hey, what's that your broiling? Wait... That's the megalodon's red eyes? You still had it with you, Master? How come..Where did you even hide that? And why is it covered in soil." Ling Ai wondered and raised her brow.

"I planted this under the soil and watered it with the remaining Hotspring water we absorbed a few days ago because that water had rich chi nutrients that can help enhance the three talents of a Martial artist. And the eyes of megalodon are a delicacy, it is not only delicious but it also doesn't decay. Amazing right?"

"Woah, makes me want to get more of those. So let's eat it now I'm salivating already."

"Sure, go fill yourself. Good thing it's already cooked." Zhuanxu YeBai prepared the broiled red eyes on a large green leaf.

They both ate it and tasted a scrumptious delicacy with its excellent amount of sweetness, crunch, and saltiness.

"This is just so fulfilling than anything we had ever eaten these past two weeks Zhuanxu YeBai! You're a good cook, aren't you? Or... Hmm, rather this is just naturally a perfect delicacy?"

"Haha! Both of what you said are correct. I also mastered cooking Ling Ai. And these red eyes are so rare that even emperors don't often find them and would pay a huge amount of money just to eat it. We're lucky that we happen to find one as we're around the area."

"So these red eyes are so rare, meaning I can't find another one that easily..mm... I'm already craving for it again, but it's already consumed. Maybe I can just vomit it and-"

"NO! Don't say what you're thinking you disgusting pig!"

"Hahahaha! I was just joking, how can you even call me like that if you have also thought about it? You act modest but our minds are alike you... bear."

"Haughty?"

"hmm... Not anymore I think."

"But the bear?"

"Yes, you're still a bear because you're ugly."

"Yes, I am because this is your face."

"..."

Both of them in a staring game again with their peculiar faces and burst laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha, you got me there you bear!"

"Hahahaha.."

Zhuanxu YeBai stood up and went somewhere to get something.

"Ling Ai as you wait for me to come back go meditate there and focus and circulate your chi again for a crossed palm chi release." Zhuanxu YeBai walked away to the forest looking around like he was finding something.

"Okay understood. Got it. Focus and concentrate it on my mind and both hands. It is called Pectoral chi."

Ling Ai was learning fast and she was cheerfully applying everything she had learned because she did enjoy the training by Zhuanxu YeBai.

It was already around noon when Zhuanxu YeBai got back.

"It's been five hours Master, where have you been? I've been meditating for five hours or more already. I feel so pumped up! Wait... Now that I've remembered what you said. So the red eyes have increased my three talents as a warrior, archer, and shaman right?"

"Exactly Ling Ai, good thing you remembered. I was just roaming around collecting these long twigs in the forest. And I've timed it exactly for six hours because the effect of the red eyes will grow most effective after six hours from the time you ate it.

Now, let's finish this session to proceed and focus on the warrior's talent. You're already 95% finish with your shaman talent training. All you need to do now is casting the skill. "

"95% done.. Casting the skill... Sure Master! Then how will I do it?"

"Normally people can't really balance the chi or even deficient sometimes in following the right procedures of a Heavenly arts skill that will always lead to explosion because of-"

"Incompatible cultivation depth. Am I right Master?" Ling Ai smiled excitingly.

"Very well. You're learning Ling Ai, don't ever forget these basics. And as far as I can see with Pectoral chi on my eyes, presently you are now a Martial arts Master basic rank Ling Ai. Congratulations!"

"What do you mean by that Zhuanxu YeBai? I thought I was aiming to be a Martial artist, a rank above the elite apprentice is to be a true Martial artist right?"

"Ling Ai, you already far surpassed the peak rank of a Martial artist days ago. You're now a basic ranked Martial arts Master."

"Is that true? Woah... Now that I think of it, my chi aura color is already on red tier which means it's already stronger right?"

"Yes, Ling Ai. I can see that you are stronger than any normal person. Because most of the Martial arts Master basic rank still have a blue tier chi aura, which means it's weaker than yours.

So going back, to finish our shaman talent training, all you need to do is apply everything you've learned. What I've taught you about engraving an image to the tree is one of the fundamentals in Martial arts creation.

"Creation? What does that mean?" Ling Ai wondered as she was hearing something new again and she's unfamiliar with.

"Martial arts creation is one of the specialties of a shaman talent, you create something from your chi. Everything you can imagine, every detail you've come up with your head. You can make it real and let it out in the world, but only for a borrowed time. And that's the skill I'm teaching you, the Heavenly arts: Black Panther. "

"A black panther?! I can't wait to summon one! But... you're sure it will recognize us both right? And won't eat us alive." Ling Ai was excited but also uneasy as it's the first time she will encounter a black panther.

"Of course, you summoned it and you're its master. It became alive because of your nature, chi capacity, and your elemental substance. Everything that's on your mind will obey it and everything that's inside your heart it protects it. You are one with your creation Ling Ai.

Remember, as you cast the skill. To avoid the slightest mistake and body part explosion. Use the full potential of your eyes of divinity Ling Ai."

Zhuanxu YeBai walked away as he was letting Ling Ai prepare and cast the skill.

"That is just amazing! Focus..."

Ling Ai standing with both of her legs wide open and her hands are wide open beside her waist as she is slowly releasing strong chi. From white to orange, orange to blue and finally... Her chi aura turned red and she swiftly put both of her palms crossed and raised her arms targeting straight ahead of the plain sight.

"Heavenly arts..."

Ling Ai's red chi aura was being absorbed slowly and circulated in both of her hands that form a red glowing chi on her palms.

And the faint red color of Ling Ai's natural eyes turned to a bright shining scarlet light and red chi was emitted like strips of lightning at the outer tip of her eyes. It was the power of the eyes of divinity.

Then Ling Ai cast the skill with a shout,

"BLACK PANTHER!"

_ROARR!!

A huge beast growling sound was heard from the cloud of smoke of the Heavenly arts skill Ling Ai cast.

The Raven country land trembled like it had a brief earthquake from the moment Ling Ai summoned the mighty Black Panther.
