"End of story"

Hearing this made Doji grow a frown on his face,why would the story just end in such manner!!

"You didn't even tell where she was transported to!!"

"Think about it" said Ethan as he grinned at Doji in an unusual manner.

Doji rubbed his temples and began to ponder about the matter.Doji had only spent few seconds in his train of thought when suddenly he yelled in pain as he was suddenly struck by an ache in his head.

Ethan surprisingly didn't sympathize with him rather he mocked with a grin plastered on his face.

"And why are you smiling?!!!" roared the evidently pissed Doji.

"It's meant to happen,same had also happened to me when I was told the story by my father,he had tricked me to also think about it"

"Not surprisingly I had also groaned in pain like you,so you can take it as a tradition meaning you would also do the same to whoever you tell the story"

Doji twisted his face unwilling to concur to such heartless tradition.

Ethan laughed lightly and said "My father said the answer to this question dwells in our heart"

"Have you found it?!!!"

"Definitely yes!!"said Ethan with an obvious joking light in his eyes.

"And what's it" Doji asked with curiosity in his tone seeming oblivious of Ethan's flippant expression.

Seeing this, Ethan decided to play along."It is something which would baffle and shake your spirit, the gravity the answer carries is capable of raising your mind and talent making you a strong and invincible warrior"

Doji raised his eyebrows beginning to doubt Ethan's seriousness,what does a tale about Trust have to do with talent!!,Doji was sensing a foul play.....Anyways he had to first hear whatever Ethan had to say.

"The answer my heart revealed to me is.......Mr Doji would you kindly let poor Ethan sleep!!!"

Doji curiosity suddenly turned to anger he had being played.

Ethan burst into laughter his hands were over his belly which was hurting from the rate at which he was laughing.

"So you had actually believed me,was only pulling your legs!!"

"Ethan!! you jerk this is the second time you have fooled me,ohh!!!.....i so promise you a strong payback"

"Don't take it too personal,it was just a friendly gesture" said Ethan with a mocking smile.

Doji didn't bother to reply,he only snorted and folded his arms totally ignoring Ethan.

It didn't take long before a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.After what seemed like forever Doji finally switched his expression from a thoughtful one to a smile that breathes mischievousness.

He tilted his gaze towards Ethan who had long gone to wonderland,the lad was breathing soundly with a satisfied smile on his face.

Doji smiled and rested his head on a nearby tree,it appeared he was the only one awake so he should also follow the flow.

.....

Sunshine and the melodious sound of the morning wind which was only obtrusive to plants and tree which swayed to its beat,almost every existence in the forest were filled with an apparently obvious happiness at the appearance of the morning sun.

Same was also with Ethan,Doji and Ravu who were prepared to vacate the area which they were in.

"How many more days till the start of the competition" inquired Doji.

"A week and half" though Ethan's expression appeared not to change but his heart suddenly leaped at the realisation of how close the competition was.

"Let's go"said Doji

The duo and Ravu had only crossed a short distance when suddenly Ethan paused.

He felt the same warm sensation as before flow through his body,but this time the force it carried was more stronger.

His face was red hot and his checks a bit swollen.

Ethan didn't need to be told,he knew he was about to breakthrough not actually because of the warm sensation surging through his body but the ring power in his dantian which was raging.Ethan was badly shocked at this realisation because it should still take him few more weeks before he broke through.

Ethan took it as an aberrant situation that would seriously shock the world and abolish the retarded tag placed on talents like his!!

But this was just a thought of naivety,if word about this goes out the highest reaction would be only admiration and nothing else.

Just because he was about to break through earlier than normal wouldn't change the orientation of the mass about talents,they would only award his elements been special nothing more!!

Ethan immediately sat on the ground he couldn't tell the worried looking Doji what the problem was as his only focus was concentrating on his dantian.

The ring power in Ethan's dantian was flowing like an ocean tidal wave and surprisingly heating up as though it was boiling.

Amorphous vapour began to rise from the ring power in Ethan's dantian and strangely form into sharp blades.

If any other person could see inside Ethan's dantian they wouldn't see any vapour but only a raging ring power.

The vapour was either invincible or rather a sort of projection Ethan's body played in his mind.

The vapour suddenly transformed into sharp blades that began to strike the empty space above them.

Ethan could feel that the space was like some kind of barrier to his next level.Without wasting any time Ethan controlled the blades and continuously striked the space.

While on the outside, Doji and Ravu were staring at Ethan with a concerned look on their faces they knew not what could have made Ethan suddenly began to cultivate.

But suddenly Ethan's aura burst out violently and rays of ring power from the world began to flow towards him.

His aura constantly began to grow in intensity with this Doji finally understood the whole situation,Ethan was about to break through!!

But wasn't it to early for an elemental warrior!! from what Ethan told him he had just evolved his talents two weeks ago.
