46 Learning 1.000 Holy Flashes – Man Level
The next morning was a normal day for Trevon. He took a quick bath yet he slipped and fall backward for his morning trouble. The trouble attractor master swore there was no water before.
After that, he took a refreshing bath this time. Then, he took Nana from his universe while feeding the rabbink inside his universe at the same time. Trevon went out of his room at 08.00.
Trevon ate breakfast in the Dining Hall with Jack. Aya still needed to learn some lessons. While Jerry was cleaning the newly purchased house for Trevon. Jonathan was still responsible for renovating the gallery. The new bodyguards, Kevin and Lance were ordered to find 500 fried chicken for Master Rabbink. They would meet him in the new house.
"Let's check the gallery renovation progress." Trevon decided to visit Jonathan first. He believed Kevin and Lance required some time to collect the fried chickens.
Trevon took a bit of time to reach the gallery.
"How is the progress?" Trevon asked Jonathan.
"It is faster than my expectation, Young Master." Jonathan reported.
Trevon checked the second floor. All partitions had already been removed.
"What about the tables and chairs?" Trevon asked.
"I found a hundred carpenter workshops. The tables and chairs should arrive tomorrow. The place could start on the day after tomorrow." Jonathan reported again. He was a bit surprised that Trevon required 3.000 small tables and 3.000 chairs. It was because there was no restaurant operated a chair for a table in Redwood.
"Hm... Try to find 6.000 unemployed kids!" Trevon said. "I will pay them 3 silver coins per day." Trevon said.
"Yes, Young Master." This was a huge payment for a day job, especially for kids. A commoner only earned 20 gold coins per year.
"I will also ask Kevin and Lance to help you gather 6.000 kids. Try to find kids with strong feet! I also want you to purchase 6.000 burgers. I believe there are still enough from the spirit stones that I gave to you."
"Yes, Young Master." Jonathan reported. "There were 1 spirit stones and 600 gold coins left."
"Good. The day after tomorrow, I want those kids to arrive at this place." He decided to try the leveling. Based on the trials with the pair of smiling merchants, it should be a success.
Trevon visited the fruit merchants, after he went from the gallery. He wanted to give one of them some exercises. The 'kind' young master felt he helped those merchants to be healthier.
He then visited the renovated house. Jerry, Kevin, and Lance were overseeing the cleaning. There were other 30 guards checking every corner of the house.
"Morning, Young Master!" They greeted Trevon.
"Good. How's my task?" Trevon asked Kevin and Lance first.
"All fried chickens are there, Young Master." Kevin pointed to a room.
"Good. I have another task for you and Lance. I want to gather 6.000 kids the day after tomorrow. I have told my requirements with Jonathan. I want both of you to help him." Trevon said.
"Yes, Young Master." Kevin and Lance answered.
[Go and eat your fried chickens!] Trevon told Master Rabbink.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Slurp... Itadakimasu." Master Rabbink disappeared.
Trevon continued his monitoring. He asked Jerry. "Do you find something strange with the house?"
"There is nothing strange in the house. However, I find a repair in the garden." Jerry answered.
"Show me!" Trevon felt there was something with the repair.
Jerry brought Trevon to the garden. "There is a new wall in this part of the garden." Jerry said.
Trevon looked to the part. Its paint was a bit brighter compare the rest of the wall. Unless one was carefully checked, one wouldn't be able to see the difference. It seemed the guards checked the house carefully.
"Is it part of the original design?" Trevon asked.
"I don't think so." Jerry said his opinion.
"Then, ask the owner, whether we could tear this wall!"
"Yes, Young Master."
Trevon then continued to check the house. "Have you checked the attic and the house pillars?"
"Yes, Young Master. There is nothing wrong."
"Hm... Ok." Trevon thought. [I will just ask the Rabbink.]
"Continue to check the house! If there are hiding spots, marks them for me!" Trevon ordered Jerry.
"Yes." Jerry answered.
Master Rabbink returned a short while later. It still didn't find the secret recipe.
"The fried chickens here are too healthy and salty." Master Rabbink complained. None were the crispy type.
[That are 500 different fried chickens. Healthy is better.] Trevon couldn't believe those fried chickens were not acceptable by the Rabbink.
"I have a better one on my planet. Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink laughed.
[I don't care.] Trevon couldn't go into Master Rabbink's planet in the first place. [I only want the secret. I think it is the time for you to give it to me.]
"Ok. Here is the clue! The key is hidden in the tallest tree in the outer area of Redwood Forest..."
[Yes.] Trevon was waiting for more clues.
"That's it." Master Rabbink said.
[You are cheating me!!!] Trevon was angry. There were many very tall trees in the forest. He wouldn't be able to check all of them.
"You should try to climb them one by one. Gwahahaha."
[What's wrong with Young Master?] Jerry asked Jack using spiritual sense. He saw Trevon's sudden angry expression.
[I don't know. He might be sick. Have you asked for a doctor?]
[I have, but Elder Charles said that young master didn't need it.]
While his bodyguards were gossiping. Trevon thought about the art manual.
"I want to find 1.000 Holy Flashes martial art manual." Trevon told Kevin and Lance. "Where can I find it?"
"Young Master could try to visit Martial Art Arena." Kevin answered. "There are many street side vendors selling martial arts."
"Good." Trevon decided to visit the Martial Art Arena.
The arena was located in the northern part of the city, but it was still close to the central area. The Martial Art Arena consisted of several dome buildings with a huge green grass field around. Some smaller amnesties buildings were scattered around the domes.
It was a bit hot, but the air was fresher in here. Trevon could smell the fresh grass.
"Each of the domes was an arena." Kevin introduced the place to Trevon. "This is the most interesting place in Redwood. Every day there would be bloody fights between strong cultivators."
Trevon had visited the arena in Bluestar. People in Heavenly Phoenix enjoyed watching arena fights. Perhaps it was because of the daily danger of the demon beasts. Not only in Heavenly Phoenix, it was said that fighting tournament was the biggest entertainment in the world.
Trevon was even a VIP in Bluestar arena. He had used the family box seats to invite his friends and especially beautiful ladies. Of course, he couldn't go past the first date, those girls came to the box and quickly returned home.
Everyone male and female loved the arena. Everyone in the world loves people with power. The family's main chosens were treated like superstars everywhere. Those treatments were unlike the public perception of a common spoiled young master like Trevon.
However, it wasn't all bad for Trevon. The superstars were busy cultivating like crazy and rarely appeared to the public. Trevon had never met those family geniuses for several years.
At best, those family superstars would appear once every five years in the family gathering and tournament. That was only to solidify their positions as the family chosens. Trevon always tried to act low profile during those family tournaments. He would try to win until he faced one of the family chosens.
Trevon was guided by Kevin and Lance to the martial arts vendors. There were over one hundred merchants selling their products outside the Arena. They paid the location rant to the arena management. They located in an open stone brick field. Each made a temporary tent to sell their products.
"This is the area for selling martial arts." Kevin introduced the place to Trevon. "The weapon and armor merchants are located in a different part. While pill merchants are over there." He pointed in another direction.
"Super powerful technique here!!!" A merchant advertised his product.
"The legendary 'Five Dragons Eating One Heaven Phoenix'!" Another merchant said his product name.
[That art seemed very powerful.] Trevon thought.
"That is a fake. I won't give you the real art for a fake manual." Master Rabbink declared. "If you sell it to Universe Store, it will appear as 'Cooking Five Chickens Wing and Seven Pigs Belly'."
"These are the art from destroyed 5 Mountains and 7 Peaks sect." Another merchant offered his wares.
[Is that real?] Trevon asked.
"Yes, it is. However, they were incomplete." Master Rabbink said.
[But you could perfect them, right?] Trevon asked.
"Of course, as long as you could pay the price from my store. Gwahahaha."
[Don't tell me you could perfect the Flame Punch?] Trevon asked.
"Of course, who is this Rabbink?" Master Rabbink proudly said. "I could sell the Man level Mortal Rank Flame Punch for just 1.000.000 energy. However, there is still a limit if you use instant learn. After Earth-level it would be counted as one."
Trevon went to one of the merchants. "I want to buy the 1.000 Holy Flashes manual. Do you have that?"
"That would be 1.000 spirit stones, Young Master." The merchant took a book from a pile of manuals.
"Make it 1 spirit stone." Trevon felt the price was unfair. He only needed to pay the family copier for just 5 spirit stones. The elder, even said street vendor was cheaper.
"I can't go any lower. 1.000 Holy Flashes is a rare book." The merchant kept his price.
"Then, I will check another merchant." Trevon left the merchant.
"Please wait, Young Master! I could give you a discount. It is 900 spirit stones."
Trevon kept moving.
"800 spirit stones."
"..." Trevon stopped.
"700 spirit stones."
"Give him punches equal to the number of spirit stones he asked!" Trevon told his bodyguards. "If Redwood guard asked, just tell them that he tried to scam Trevon McArthur!" Trevon took his fan and fanned himself.
"I will sell it for 1 spirit stone." The merchant quickly changed his price. He had heard the fame of the number 1 young master in Bluestar. It was already lucky the young master paid him some spirit stones instead of some gold coins.
"Hit him once!" Trevon ordered.
"Yes, Young Master." Jack punched the merchant once. He sent a spiritual sense message. [Quickly, pretend to hurt a lot. If you don't he would ask to give you 1 more.]
The merchant quickly followed with good acting. He turned left and right and prayed for all his ancestors to save him.
"Oh! Father, help me!"
"Oh! Mother, help me!"
"It is painful, Grandfather..."
"..."
"..."
"Oh, my great great great great grandfather. This is very painful." He still rolled left and right.
"Learn from your mistake! Hmph!!!" Trevon declared. He gave 1 spirit stones and took the 1.000 Holy Flashes manual.
[Lv 2 Mission: Find a flashy martial art to practice.]
[Mission completed.]
[User obtained 100 Destiny Energy.]
"What is the price of Flame Punch?" Trevon asked.
"It is free Young Master." The merchant quickly gave the manual. Flame Punch was really a common martial art. It was sold everywhere and the first martial art taught by every teacher.
"Good! You have learned." Trevon left the merchant after taking the manual.
"Thank you, father, mother... for your protection." The merchant quickly named all his ancestors again. "Your descendant promise I won't try to scam a young master again."
Trevon finally left the arena. While he loved watching the fighting, he preferred to watch it with beautiful girls.
Trevon thought it was the correct time for lunch. Therefore, he ate at the restaurant nearby. There were many restaurants and cafes around the arena.
While he ate, he took some time to scout the people nearby. He had found some Rank 2 warriors came from the arena. They were arena fighters who came for lunch.
Trevon didn't know whether he could recruit them. But he finally decided against the idea. If those fighters wanted to join their family, they could easily enter the family.
For his bodyguard duty, Trevon only had Rank 1 warrior. The Rank 2 arena fighters would never join for a lowly job. On the other hand, the family wouldn't give important positions for people with untested loyalty.
He checked his destiny missions first.
[Lv 0 Mission: Kill 5 boars in Redwood forest.]
[Lv 0 Mission: Force a merchant to give you a Pineapple.]
[Lv 3 Mission: Practice a flashy martial art.]
He checked the new mission for more detail.
[Lv 3 Mission: Practice a flashy martial art.]
[Mission Reward: 1.000 Destiny Energy.]
[Description: Practice makes perfect. To be the best young master in the universe, you must be able to use the technique. If you know a technique, but not practice them, you could not show off in front of those ladies. Remember show off is IMPORTANT!!! So, practice hard and get those ladies.]
Trevon agreed with the need to practice. He believed he would make those girls screamed, seeing him use this technique. [Hwehwehwe.]
Trevon entered the Universe Store. He sold the Flame Punch and 1.000 Holy Flashes manuals to the Universe Store.
[Why I didn't any core energy for selling manuals?]
"It is because there is no energy in them." Master Rabbink said. "If you sell jade slip, I could pay for the energy included in the Jade Slip."
[If I sell the spirit stones to the Universe Store?]
"I will exchange for core energy. 1.000 energy for each spirit stone."
[Could I purchase spirit stones from Universe Store?] Trevon believed it would be more efficient than purchasing a sword and selling it again. The last time, he was lucky because of the Dark Demon Slayer sword. Uncle Bowman gave him a higher price to consider the matter end.
"You could not purchase spirit stones, gold, silver, and copper from the store. However, you could use the energy to create copper, silver, gold, or silver stones mine."
[Really?]
"Yes. Depending on your luck, you may get bigger mines." Master Rabbink promoted. "You just need to increase your core level to make the options appeared." [However, that will be a long time from now. Gwahahaha.]
Trevon felt increasing the core level was hard. While 1 spirit stones for a cubic meter was a great price. He needed to spend a lot of money to build a planet.
He decided to check the aisle for Martial Art. The aisle was separated based on the main element. He went to the fire element martial arts aisle to check his Flame Punch.
[Why are there 6 different manuals?] Trevon wondered.
[Flame Punch – Man]
[Description: This is the first level of Flame Punch. This is a normal punch added with fire elements.]
[Selling Price: 1.000.000 Energy]
[Are you sure you have perfected it?] Trevon asked.
"Yes, everything sold in the store is the perfected version."
Trevon checked another manual.
[Flame Punch – Earth]
[Description: This is the second level of Flame Punch. This is a normal punch added with fire elements.]
[Selling Price: 10.000.000 Energy]
[This was more normal.] Trevon thought. Unlike the cultivation techniques, the increase was only 10 times higher.
"Cultivation Techniques are more difficult to perfect. If there is a mistake, your cultivation might be destroyed." Master Rabbink explained.
Trevon left Flame Punch for now. He went to the Holy element section. He saw 1.000 Holy Flashes manual. It was more important for him to get the martial art for his mission.
[Holy Flashes – Man]
[Description: This is the first level of 1.000 Holy Flashes. This is a martial art that controlled the holy elements in the area around. The focused energy will be turned into powerful attacks.]
[Selling Price: 3.000.000 Energy]
[Why is it more expensive?] Trevon asked.
"The more expensive a martial art, the more powerful its power." Master Rabbink said.
[Didn't you say you have perfected them?] Trevon asked.
"Yes, I have maximized their attack power, their charge time, their energy consumption, and many more sides. However, every technique is different. There were those that focused on fast casting, while there were others that focused on total damage. There are also limitations to avoid injury to the user. Some martial arts also allowed for a weaker cultivator to use. I made some improvements to those martial arts based on the original creator desire."
Trevon decided to purchase the [Holy Flashes – Man].
[What should I do if I want to buy it for non-instant learn?] Trevon asked.
"The Man-level didn't use your instant learn slots. So, you can consider it as a bonus." Master Rabbink said. "If you purchase the earth level you will be asked."
Trevon purchased the [Holy Flashes – Man]. He got a light ball. He pressed it to his head.
[Sending the knowledge to the user! 1.000 Holy Flashes - Man is learned.]
[Lv 3 Mission: Practice a flashy martial art.]
[Mission completed.]
[User obtained 1.000 Destiny Energy.]
Trevon checked the new mission.
[Lv 0 Mission: Kill 5 boars in Redwood forest.]
[Lv 0 Mission: Force a merchant to give you a Pineapple.]
[Lv 3 Mission: Practice a flashy martial art to Earth Level.]
He checked the new mission in detail.
[Lv 3 Mission: Practice 1.000 Holy Flashes to Earth Level.]
[Mission Reward: 1.000 Destiny Energy.]
[Description: There is a difference between a real peacock and a cock. Do you think a man level mastery could make girls screamed for you? Of course not! Study harder for the girls!]
[Yes! I will!] Trevon agreed with the description again. There were lots of people who could use Man level martial arts, so there was nothing unique about it. He had already imagined those girls screamed for him. [Hwehwehwe.]
Master Rabbink smiled. It had learned how to make Trevon do the mission. [Gwahahaha. This Rabbink is smart.]
Trevon looked at the manual again.
[1.000 Holy Flashes – Earth]
[Description: This is the second level of 1.000 Holy Flashes. This is a martial art that controlled the holy elements in the area around. The focused energy will be turned into powerful attacks.]
[Selling Price: 30.000.000 Energy]
It was a bit expensive, but Trevon believed by learning more powerful martial arts, he would have a bigger chance to survive the beast wave. It was hard for him to increase his cultivation, but he could learn a martial art faster. At worst case scenario, he could ask Master Rabbink for instant learn some powerful martial arts.
He purchased the martial art. He got another ball of light. He pressed it again to his head. A warm current filled his head.
[1.000 Holy Flashes – Earth]
[Does User want to instant learn it? 0/10]
[No.] Trevon decided.
[Sending the knowledge to the user! 1.000 Holy Flashes – Earth Knowledge received.]
Trevon felt the difference between learning and receiving only knowledge. He knew the knowledge about 1.000 Holy Flashes – Earth. There was more detail information to maximize the technique compared to the information to Man level. He knew which part of martial art execution that he needed to correct.
[Hahaha! I need to practice. Please wait for me, Beautiful Girls!] Trevon had barely practiced martial art lately. [Well... I will do it later. Tomorrow I have my private home.] His spirit was gone in an instant.
Master Rabbink whacked its own head. This young master was too lazy.
Trevon continued to check people around. While he didn't have any mission related to scout people, he could increase his scout skill this way.
After some scouting time, he visited the black market again after some consideration. He purchased some broken artifacts for 254 spirit stones and obtained 485.635 core energy.
The spoiled young master also visited Uncle Bowman for more boxes every day. He made a long-term contract with Uncle Bowman.
Trevon took a dinner in a restaurant before visiting Grand Master Vale's house. He practiced drawing with Little Rose as the model. The painter felt he could start drawing better with a beauty as his model.
Trevon returned to the Family Pavilion at 20.00. Aya was waiting in front of his room so Trevon asked her to wait outside with the rest of his bodyguards.
Trevon didn't forget to get a bonus trouble for the night. He got a sudden rain. Luckily, he was in front of his room so he quickly took a quick bath. All the bodyguards also got unlucky because of the sudden rain. They used fire elemental to dry their bodies.
After the quick bath Trevon purchased the 1st Level of Mortal Silver Star Plucking from Universe Store.
"Can she share this technique with other people?" Trevon asked Master Rabbink. [There is no contract before learning this technique.]
Even Trevon needed to sign a soul contract with the family before he could learn his family cultivation technique. Included in the contract was to keep the technique secret and the punishments if he breached it.
"No way! This ball of light will give knowledge directly to the person. It also has a safety measure made by this Rabbink personally. So only the person with the light ball could understand the knowledge. He or she could never teach other people this cultivation technique. He or she could not even tell what this technique about." Master Rabbink said.
"Do you think it would be easy to cheat this Rabbink?" Master Rabbink knew Trevon would try to ask Aya to teach the technique to more people in the future.
Master Rabbink wasn't a stupid Rabbink. The Rabbink had opened the Universe Shop for God knew long. By making this exclusive usage, it would get more purchases.
Trevon took Nana to his universe and fed small rabbinks in his universe before he returned. Nana didn't forget to ask him lots of spirit foods when Trevon left her in his universe. The mouse didn't care where she stayed as long as it had enough spirit foods.
Trevon returned to his room and went outside.
"Aya comes here!" Trevon ordered Aya to enter his room. There was a small table for receiving the quest.
Aya came to the room. "Yes, Young Master." Aya followed Trevon.
"Here is a cultivation technique for you." Trevon gave Aya the light ball. While the contract between Aya and he was not as powerful as the one with Jonathan. He somehow wanted to give the cultivation technique to Aya first. [Aih! A female is my weakness.] Trevon lamented.
Aya took the ball and was confused. She tried to pinch a small part to eat.
"You just need to smash it to your head." Trevon told Aya.
"Yes." Aya quickly smashed it into her head. [Will this be painful?] She was afraid, but she couldn't reject her young master's order.
She expected some pain, but she found strange information in her head.
"That is a cultivation technique for you. It will be useful for Rank 1." Trevon said. "If you contribute to me, I will give you the cultivation for Rank 2."
Aya was so shocked by the gift that Trevon gave. She knew the powerful people in the gang were those cultivators.
"Aya will never forget Young Master kindness." She kowtowed to Trevon. She started to cry. Since she was young, every day was full of struggle. There had been no one who gave so many precious things to her like her young master. Other than the house, comfortable bed, delicious foods, he also gave her a cultivation technique.
"No need to cry." Trevon took 100 spirit stones and gave it to Aya. "Use this for your cultivation!"
"I..." Aya didn't know how to respond. She had learned some manners and basic service for a maid. The young girl also learned the trick to escape from a man advance. However, she didn't know how to say her gratefulness to her Young Master. She had been told so many scary stories about this young master, but she found it was different.
[Is this a method to lower my defense?] Aya wondered. She had been taught to increase her vigilance for a man's tricks. [There is no way young master wanted me.] Aya thought. Trevon had included the clause that she could reject his sexual advance to her.
"Just take it! If you have absorbed all of them, you only need to ask me again." Trevon ordered Aya. He wanted to spend more time reading his favorite novels.
"Yes, Young Master. Aya promised to do everything that Young Master orders." Aya made her own promise.
"Just promise you will cultivate diligently." Trevon said.
"Yes, Young Master." Aya bowed to Trevon and went outside the room.
Jack, Kevin, and Lance were waiting outside. They couldn't hear anything in the room because Trevon had activated privacy formations.
They were surprised to see Aya came from the room crying. She could not prevent herself from crying because of her young master's kindness.
[What have young master done to her? Unlike us, she couldn't dry her robe.] Kevin talked with the spiritual sense to other bodyguards.
[This couldn't be. Isn't young master has put some clauses?] Lance was confused.
[You must have never heard Young Master's previous actions to the female maids.] Jerry said. [Master Alvaro removed all female maids from Trevon because he had tried to seduce all of them.]
Aya saw those bodyguards looked at her, so she lowered her head. She was embarrassed to be seen like that. Her face turned red.
[Her face turns red.] Kevin talked with the spiritual sense.
[Yeah. I couldn't believe our young master eat her that fast. She is still young.] Lance commented.
[Young Master is also a young man.] Jerry defended his young master. Trevon was just 15 years old this year. Jack only nodded. He agreed with Jerry reasoning.
While the bodyguards were gossiping outside. Trevon who didn't know anything was happily reading the adventure of Leylin Farlier in WMW.
[He was so smart and realistic.] Trevon thought. [Only a hero like him could survive in the real dangerous world. He is so cool.] Trevon loved the part where Leylin made some 'test'. [Hwehwehwe.]
