Chapter 9 : Yruen Port

Battleforce focused on the meridians pathways of the physical constitution of the body while the soul force focused on the spiritual growth.

And the combination of two would help in forming chakra. Allen cannot only rely on Soul force to become strong because in a world like this where physical strength is so prominent it would be impossible to rely on only a strong soul.

Even young Demon Spiritualists are recommended to train their physical body vigorously. A strong mind lives in a healthy body and even if the soul force can baptise the physical state and make their body very powerful but that's mostly in the higher realms.

For now there are limits to what the soul force can do especially in a crowded situation hence, Allen is unwilling to just cultivate soul force when he has means and methods to evolve.

With his current course of action, through the simultaneous training of the battleforce and soul force, Allen would train the internal parts of the body while the other trained the soul.

They were designed, coordinated and modulated finely by Allen to conditions and proportionate evenly which would raise his Chakra volume!

In order to perform miraculous feats and release jutsu with Chakra, one needs to circulate their chakra force in their inner pathway system in a certain manner which could be aided by the formation of hand signs.

Allen used the twelve major hand signs to reverse research on the various chakra point pathways and circulated his chakra in his body's forming charka circulation system.

This is completely different from the meridian points of the battleforce which collects strength from the blood itself.

Allen could jointly train all three of his forces by incorporating them together in a cycle through his body.

After a few days of practicing Allen found that he could only cultivate his chakra pathway, battleforce and soul force for a certain of time.

Throughout Allen's body there are various vital points, isle and chakra pathway networks through which he could revolve his energy and cultivate it.

By using the elemental power from the surrounding, introducing his soul force, extracting the power from bloodline and flowing of Chakra he can create a stable cycle to cultivate.

There are various levels of these cycles depending on the quantity, quality and types of body points involved. There are cycle of 16,32,64,128....

Out of this, Allen could only complete the two 16-cycle in a day.

The process of completing his bottleneck and reaching the higher realm is to surpass his current cycle circulation.

Allen needs to complete and reach 16 times the 16-cycles in a day, only after surpassing this limit would then he can proceed to the next step.

Allen continued his journey by mostly cultivating on the sailing boat, he occasionally took some time to explore around a bit, enjoy some meals in the dining area but mostly cultivate and practice.

...

Yruen Port

Seventeen days passed by quickly, the ferry was delayed a bit due to the detour which is quite normal in the current season.

In spite of that, the journey was fairly pleasant without any mishaps and the ship was currently stopping outside a middle-sized port city called Yruen Port.

Allen didn't rush to get down as he leisurely enjoyed another lunch, the ship was very busy currently because all of the impatient people were rushing to get down first.

Various people were also carrying goods and Allen didn't want to be a part of the ruckus.

Finally he decided to go out, as he took a small bag of his goods which contained some of his essentials and wrapped them over his shoulder and then pinned his sword on his buckle.

He was wearing a loose grey colored shirt which was stuffed in his pants, his toned muscles were showing out. He wore black pants and had his hair tied together behind his back. His face had an unkempt beard, and his black eyes shone with a twinkle and unmatched radiance which people don't dare to look into.

Allen seemed like an unrestrained guy, his face wasn't handsome but his disposition was quite something, he kept his back straight as he walked down the stairs.

'Hmm..who? him again?' As Allen was quietly walking down the status he suddenly felt a unkind gaze on his back, he didn't look because he knew the culprit.

This sneaky guy is one of the passengers, his figure was rather normal but he had a hideous scar under his eyes. With only one look Allen could tell he didn't have kind intentions.

Allen had long noticed this person back when he was buying a ticket at Zither Mortiz port. The guy was probably eyeing Allen's money because people like Allen who look young, weak and travel alone to these parts are the best targets.

Allen didn't care about him from the start, to someone like him even before his bountiful training on boat, thugs like this hooligan are merely a side character who will be chopped under his sword.

Allen got down without stopping, and just then a worker from the port approached him with a sheet of paper in his hand.

"Before unloading we need to tally the people coming in and out, it would be very appreciated if you cooperated." The person spoke in a very business-like manner, still looking at the paper.

Allen was aware of this procedure, whenever any boat enters to Yruen Port they need to record the entry of passengers.

Dedicated official would approach the people unloading to file their entrance. This is a protocol to make sure people with unkind intentions don't come here, and in case of any trouble the troublemaker are accounted for.

There is a permit which would be granted to the people afterwards which is needed in order to do any transaction here.

Obviously there are some black markets but the best price would be offered only by legitimate shops which would need the permit, the same is for lodging, forming a team, etc.

Those who have previous experience here like some researcher, mercenaries and merchants have a permanent permit which could be bought after a series of protocols and a lot of money.

Allen nodded to him prompting him to carry on. He definitely would not mind taking the benefits of this rule, Allen is here for experience and he would most likely hunt some beasts which fetch a good price.

The worker expected his answer and he asked, "Name?"

"Allen Styles."

"Order of business?" The worker wrote his name and asked ahead.

"Adventuring!"

"Where are you coming from?"

"Alwis City."

The worker looked up from his sheet and said, "All citizens of Alwis City have free entry in the Yruen Port, Do you have any proof of your residency in Alwis City?"

"I have the students identification badge." Allen took out a badge, on the surface of that badge an iron sword was engraved with a silver moon in the back.

This is his identification badge in the academy, this not only indicates his legitimacy of being a student but also showcases his Battleforce rank.

Every time someone breaks through they can forge another one. Even those students who have graduated could use this as an identification, such is the power of the prestigious academies.

The worker looked at the badge and even though he didn't show it, Allen could see an expression of bewilderment on his face, which is quite normal keeping in mind what his rank and purpose is.

Allen didn't care about him and swiftly received an entry permit. People like him who were questioned and permitted were not many since, most would choose to use the legal channels of authority in their respective cities and ports to get one beforehand. Only mercenaries and adventurers get one after coming here.

As Allen was about to leave, an annoying, sarcastic loud voice landed in his ears.

"Look what he got here! This punk wants to become an adventurer all by himself. Hahaha!" A brawny huge bare chested man swaggered before Allen and laughed at him. He was accompanied by half a dozen hooligans who were laughing at Allen hysterically.

"Hey, I heard them speaking just now, this teat sucker is just a mere Iron rank!" Another one spoke as the crowd broke into another round of rowdy laughter.

Allen was indifferent to their mockery, instead he could notice the unbridled greed hiding in their eyes.

His brows frowned as he looked around and spotted the same scar faced man who was on the ferry. He was just behind the brawny man who was probably the leader. Allen instantly understood what was happening.

Back when Allen was paying for his ferry fees, he took out his bag of money which he opened to withdraw the coins. What he didn't think was that someone's greed has eyed his wealth.

In the Alwis city, there are three general currency units. The lowest one is called bronze Kross, above that is the silver Kross and the highest is the gold Kross. Each unit is ten times the value of the previous one.

A single Gold Kross is a hundred Bronze Kross. Allen being a top student, has participated and won various academy competitions.

He has won quite some money and he wasn't much of a spender either, and after five years of collecting and also earning some money through some odd adventure mission he has collected a sizable amount of wealth.

Allen has a total worth of 53 Kross Gold coins. This is a lot of money for a commoner. An average family in the outer region of the Zither Moritz Area would need only 2-3 gold coins to go through a whole month. And this is the living cost of Alwis City which couldn't be compared to other regions.

In the other market the Gold Kross coins always have a higher value which gives it more value.

If compared to them, then Allen is quite rich to have such an accumulation of wealth at such a young age but only he knows that this isn't much when compared to the expenses of a Battleforce Warriors.

Even some middle-grade Battleforce techniques could cost around 50-100 Gold Kross coins!

The previous Allen was collecting this money to buy something like that. He had prior to that bought a low grade battleforce technique which didn't yield him any benefits instead it caused him injury.

Although the scarred fellow didn't see his full wealth, he was able to make out dozens of Gold Kross coins which were enough to stir his greed.

Especially considering Allen's weak strength and lone travelling status. He thought previously that Allen was a dangerous fellow to dare come here alone which is why he waited till now to inform his group, but after listening to his battleforce strength he was regretful to not ambush and rob Allen himself keeping all the gold.

'I just came here and trouble brewed, is this the legendary ability of the protagonist to always attract villains and enemies.' Allen shook his head and stopped himself from thinking about this. He wasn't much worried because he knows they don't have the guts to do something here and as for the problems later.....

Allen slightly bent his head facing towards the ground as a bloodthirsty smirk appeared on his face.

He looked at the group with unkind intention and everyone was inadvertently affected, even the leader took a step back.

Allen was quite eager to test his strength against someone and these people would make excellent sparring partners.

"I got two words for ya— Fuck Off!"
