Chapter 119 Family Training, Melody’s Power of Concept
Don was invited to a video conference hosted by world-top families, companies and guilds working behind the scenes that monopolize knowledge and control the majority of hyperbeings in the world. They discussed how to cope with the situation.
After their discussion, they had formulated a temporary solution, and they also put a big bounty on Sypher's head. The reward is ten billion dollars. Any small clue that will lead to his identity will be rewarded with a minimum of ten million dollars. They want to know the real identity of Sypher and let him experience hell, including anyone close to him, as a deterrent example. The rules they set cannot be arbitrarily broken by anyone. Many people, hyperbeings or not, are tempted by the reward.
Yuxin, the demigod of the Ruyi Guild, laughs at the courage of Sypher. David and St. Analyn, the 8th circle magicians currently on Earth, smiled when they were informed about Sypher. Some of them actually want to spread aura and magic cultivation. They are not afraid to do it, but the government pleads to temporarily not spread it because of a lack of resources and social unrest that may happen. The government won't have enough force to carry out supervision and enforcement if too many magicians and aura masters appear. They bought a formula that could decrease the resources needed for aura and magic cultivation, but it is still being researched because some of the magical plants in the formula cannot be found on Earth.
Edgar understands the predicament of governments around the world. What he gave to PHA is also given to similar associations around the world. He chose associations that could not be manipulated by top families and guilds. He knows that the information he gave cannot be hidden for too long, but he hopes to buy time for ordinary beings to rise and strengthen the government body that supervises hyperbeings. He cannot become the enemy of the whole world. That is suicide, and his future plans will be greatly affected. He must pull the government to his side.
Edgar walked out of his room. He went to the yard and watches Sasha play with the two wolf cubs.
He will teach her magic and aura when Fei and Tony arrive. He will bring them to the illusion space. He will pretend that it is a unique power that he got when he successfully cultivated magic. Many magicians who spontaneously developed magical abilities have unique powers, like Oscar, who has parallel thought abilities. With the help of Gaia, their magic core, magic circle, and rune skill for their unique skill are automatically formed in their sea of consciousness, but they will remain as the first circle forever if they don't know how to form their second circle.
Fei and Tony rushed to go home. They already made a call and informed Edgar of what happened on the internet. They were so excited.
Edgar brings out a crystal that measures the aptitude for magic. He said that he bought it in an underground market when he saw their expression of surprise as to why he had it. He smithed a measuring crystal that looks the same in the market.
Sasha and Fei have an aptitude for water magic, but Tony unfortunately doesn't have an aptitude for magic.
Next, he measures their aptitude for aura. Fei and Tony have good aptitude. The little girl has poor aptitude for aura. Edgar pats the little girl's head. Although it's unfortunate that she has poor aptitude for aura, he will help her become a powerful water magician.
Edgar told them about his unique power, the illusion space. They are very happy for him. He helps them train in his illusion space. They train stream fist art and how to stay steady during meditation. Forming a magic core cannot be done in illusion space, but they can practice how to meditate. Little Sasha is too young to endure the training.
"Brother, can you bring wisegray and simplegray here?" asked Sasha to Edgar.
She is referring to the cubs. Wisegray is the female cub, while Simplegray is the male cub.
"Yes," answered Edgar as she patted her head. He disappeared in the illusion space and took the cubs that were playing in the yard. Their tails are swaying. They thought Edgar would feed them, but they were brought to the illusion space. The two cubs remember the hard training in the illusion space, and they look at Edgar with fear.
"Wisegray! Simplegray!" shouted Sasha. The two cubs quickly ran toward the little girl and hid behind her back.
Edgar laughs at the action of the cubs. He clicked his finger, and then big water bubbles appeared around them.
"Wow, brother, it is beautiful!" said Sasha as she clapped her hands.
Edgar cast magic, then a cloud appeared in front of Sasha.
"Sit on it with wisegray and simplegray. I will let you experience flying," said Edgar.
"Really?!" Sasha exclaimed.
"Let us do it too!" said Tony and Fei. They are not surprised that Edgar could do it because he controls the illusion space.
The three of them sit on separate clouds. The cloud felt like a sofa. It floated, and then they flew in the air.
"Hahahaha!" All three of them are laughing as they fly. There are water bubbles in the air. The two cubs are also enjoying the flight. Edgar also sits on a cloud and flies with them.
Edgar smiles as he looks at them.
In the morning, he went to Seanlu's house, then drove to the orphanage to take Melody.
"Boss, did you watch the video of Sypher? Hahahaha, I was very happy that the monopoly of those arrogant bastards is now broken. I watched it, and I think it also fits me, but the aura technique that master Feiyu taught me is a lot more powerful. Boss, do I still need to use the magic equipment to hide my true energy?" said Seanlu.
"It's only been one day since it spreads. They will have suspicions about you if you suddenly have high energy. Some might think that you are a genius, but some might not think like that. You know, any clue about Sypher has a high reward. You might wake up in a torture chamber," said Edgar.
Seanlu's face sweats as he imagines it.
"Wait for a few more weeks," said Edgar with a smile.
Seanlu nods, indicating that he understands.
They reached the orphanage and took Melody to the villa.
In the underground training hall, Melody and Seanlu keep training. Both of them have already become first-circle magicians. They are wearing loose robes for martial arts. Edgar prepared them to make it more comfortable for them.
"Hmm?" Edgar noticed that more threads of red aura are gathering on Melody.
Aura is starting to clad Melody's whole body.
Woosh! The threads of aura dispersed. Melody's whole body is covered in aura.
Edgar smiles and thinks,"She will see the world again today."
He approached Melody and says,"It's time to teach you life detection."
Melody nods her head. She has an expectant look on her face.
He let her sit on a sofa, then put her into illusion. He taught her for two days in the illusion space.
Melody opened her eyes.
LIFE DETECTION
An invisible shockwave spread from her, and she saw everything within the circumference of twenty kilometers.
She sees sister Lora and others doing laundry while little Lala is trying to help. The little kids are chasing each other. She sees the scenery, buildings, running vehicles, hundreds of thousands of people—everything within the range of detection. Tears fall from her eyes. Although the scene is black and white, it is enough for her, who hasn't seen the world for a very long time. She can keep using life detection, as it only requires a little aura to use. She looks at Edgar.
"Thank you," said Melody. She feels very grateful to Edgar. She knows that he has a plan for them. Whatever it is, she will try her best to help.
Edgar just smile. He took out a zither with magic runes and gave it to Melody, then he says,"Try to use your concept."
TNNNG! A sound of zithers appears in the training hall.
Seanlu also heard the sound, but he ignored it. He has already heard it many times. He also feels fascinated, but he won't feel like that if he focuses on his training. He saw Melody reach the first stage, so he couldn't fall behind. He wanted to practice harder.
His practice is interrupted by a shout. He heard the familiar voice of a girl.
"Seanlu!"
Seanlu turned his head and looked shocked.
"C-class rep?! What are you doing here?!" Seanlu asked with shock.
Edgar looks at Seanlu, who is talking with no one but air. historical
"It really is a sound of illusion."
