Chapter 71 : A Disciple (1)
*Boom*
A loud voice sounded in the middle of the forest with a cloud of dust. A young man in the blue Hanfu dress with black Sashi comes out of the dust cloud. His long straight black hair is done in a loose ponytail and with his deep brown eyes, which seems to attract everyone's gaze, he looks really handsome. The young man who walks out of the dust cloud looks refreshed and not even the tips of his hair are covered in dust, much less his whole body.
The young man, Embra, looks at his left fist and undo his own fist with his right hand because the fist is too tight to even loosen up by itself. Embra loosen up his left fist and blood immediately comes out but, he grits his teeth to endure it. Finally, after completely separating the diamond necklace from his left hand, Embra looks at his own bloody hand where burns so severe that even his meat can be seen.
He wears the necklace on his neck while bringing out a water pouch from the inventory. He treats his left hand first while enduring all the pain without letting out a sound. After bandaging his whole left hand, Embra cleans the diamond necklace from his own blood. Looking at the necklace lovingly, Embra wears the necklace again and hide it under his clothes.
The tungsten ring on his left index finger has already been moved to his right index finger and after looking at the ring again, Embra decided to walk forward while putting a short sword and few small weapons under his clothes. While walking, he looks at his left hand that is bandaged.
"Hm... I wonder, how long will this take to heal. Alas, let's go back to the forest again. In there, I can train again... but, the problem is that red clothing girl. *sigh* Normally, I would ignore her but, well, why not try taking a discipline? If she has talent, I will take her in as my subordinate. If not, I will just leave her." (Embra)
Embra's objective in this world is to build the foundation for his civilization. He is not planning to create his civilization in this world at all because this world is already developed. That's why Embra's plan is to rule this whole world first while nurturing good talent. And, when he believed himself to be powerful enough, he will leave this world and travel the universe to find a suitable place and realize his goal.
Also, when he leaves this world, Embra is planning to take the best talents among the good talents he himself nurtured. That's why he decided to accept the girl as his discipline and nurture her.
So, Embra heads towards the girl's village which is not far from where he is while avoiding the people who come to look at the place he falls into. A half an hour later, Embra stops near the forest of the village and hide his presence with 'Stealth'. It is because he sees many people in the village and he saw a few official-looking men. Embra begins to think,
'That's right. This village is attacked by the demons, right? Are they officials from the city or are they 'cleaner squad' from the demon-hunter organization of China? Hmm... According to the information I got from that demon woman, there are indeed demon hunters in China and they also have a demon-hunter organization. What should I do now? Should I try to get in contact with the demon hunters, or, should I just go back to the forest?
Hm... For now, let's look over them and find someone who looks decent.' (Embra's thought)
Embra goes around the village in Stealth while finding a good place to stay and he incidentally found the red-clothing girl coming out of her house while carrying a corpse. The corpse looks so ugly and it can't even be called a person's body anymore as it is almost unrecognizable. Embra stops in his track and goes near the house to watch the girl closely.
Now that he looks closely, he sees that the girl is crying. Her tears are falling non-stop while carrying the corpse to the hole behind her house. There are three holes big enough to fit a person and there is a big wooden coffin inside each hole. The girl carries the corpse into one of the wooden coffins and carefully laid it down inside it.
'... Just the smell and the appearance of the corpse should be enough to make a normal person puke and she is even carrying it? ... Did I go too hard on her by telling her to give her family a proper burial? ... What a strong heart, that girl has! Alright, she passes the first part of the test as she has a strong mentality. What about her Stamina? Now is about ten in the morning. How long will you be able to wait for me, little girl?' (Embra's thought)
Embra decided to goes away after seeing the girl goes into her house again. A few minutes later, Embra found a good place to rest and while resting there, he decided to learn a few things. So, he asks Eve to shows his status and new functions of the system.

'Hm... I see. So, they decided to give me a reward according to an achievement I made rather than giving me a quest to complete, huh? Well, that aside, Eve, explain to me the new 'Auction' function and show me some new Jutsu or technique too' (Embra's thought)
<Acknowledge. Auction function enables Host to be able to auction your own items and buy other items auctioned by other system users. But, as the power level of the Host is not sufficient enough, the Auction function is disabled. Once you reach the Power level above 10000, the Auction function will be active.
Here are the new techniques and Jutsu...

' I see, there are many techniques right there. But, wait a minute. The what? Other system users? Are there other system users beside me in this world?' (Embra's thought)
<Incorrect. The guide system is now connected to the system in Heaven. The other system users are from different universes whose system are also connected to the system in Heaven.> (Eve)
'What the... It is becoming much much complicated. *sigh* For now, let's clear my thoughts. Think about my priority. What should I do first? Yep, getting stronger. Eve, take out the book the old man gave me.' (Embra's thought)
There are many new things but, for now, to be stronger is his first and foremost priority. That's why Embra started to read the book about 'Breath' that the old man gave to him.
In the afternoon, Embra wakes up from the meditation to eat some food. While eating lunch, Embra is thinking,
'I now see the true nature of the 'Breath'. It is a form of natural energy gathering. In the Nar*to world, it would be a little bit similar to 'sage mode' training but, only in basic. In this world, a human can gather nature energy into their body by using a proper breathing technique and with the natural energy they gather, they strengthen their body and add affinity to their sword techniques.
Damn. I figured out his much with an hour of meditating and analyzing the technique itself using 'Eye of analysis'. Alright. Let's learn how to utilize a proper breathing technique. After that, I will train my own breath. I have already chosen it long ago. *smile* It is time to train it.' (Embra's thought)
Embra's passion is lit again and he immediately started meditating again while completely leaving the safety of his surrounding to Eve. Embra is someone who has a usual habit of mediating an hour per day. And, he has done it since he was in the previous life and he is still doing now. So, his concentration is a head above other normal people.
And, his normal concentration that is already better than most people, further become better after he passed the trial and gain complete control over his emotions and thoughts. So right now, Embra is using 100% concentration that is almost on another level compared to before and learns the 'Breath' technique.
At night 12 a.m, Eve alerts Embra as he has ordered. Embra opens his eyes and looks up to see the moon that is almost full. He stands up and decided to take a quick bath using wet towels. While bathing, Embra thinks,
'I can use this. I can so use this breathing technique. I just need a good place. This place is not good enough. This technique is great. I must learn how to utilize natural energy before I go to Venezuela. Well, for now, let's go take a look at that girl. If I don't find her at the village entrance, I will leave.' (Embra's thought)
With a good mood, Embra heads towards the village in black clothing again with a demon-slayer sword on his left hips. He has already decided that he will turn back and heads back toward the forest as soon as he doesn't see the girl at the village entrance.
