Did she wants to turn me into a masochist or what?!

"Watch closely junior brother" Maya said as a second flower appeared in her hand.

Her gaze landed on a perfectly normal wooden dummy, she pull her hand back before pushing it forward towards the dummy!

The flower flew fast but this time its petal are yet to unfold, it collided with the wooden dummy and a 'Shush' sound is heard!

Liam look at the effect and saw the wooden dummy standing still but with a gaping hole in its middle part, the powerful poison slowly spreads from the hole and cover a small area around the area of impact, the sizzling sound is heard once more!

"Senior sister is too powerful…" Liam subconsciously praised.

"This is the power of a foundation establishment expert of the Black Rose, amazing, right?" Maya asked with a smug smile and Liam nodded his head extremely fast!

"Should we practice the second technique?" Maya asked her stupefied brother.

"Oh! Yes of course yes!" Liam is out of his shocked state and quickly reply.

"Alright, the envenomed thorn. You need to create vines with sharp thorns but at your level I bet you can't do it, so you will have to carry a vine with you, you will need to channel your energy into the vine and control it, then you will use the energy imbued vine to either attack by whipping it at the opponent or make it release the thorns"

"The moment the thorns touch the body of your opponent, your poison will seep into their body" Maya smiled as if she is liking how the envenomed thorn technique the more she speaks about it which gives Liam goosebumps.

"Alright, this will be fast, give me a minute, I will get some sharp thorn vines for you, until then, study this technique for me, will you?" Maya said before walking away.

Liam is left alone and he kept having one thought, 'Will I be allowed to bring the vines in the competition?'

Nonetheless, he continued studying the technique as he was instructed to, he also noticed that Maya's flower has more petals than his and he is smart to know that the more a cultivator progressed, the more he can create a flower with multiple petals, mesmerizing but deadly flower!

"Aha, here you go" Maya put down some sharp thorns vines on the ground, Liam is a little taken aback by their scary look and the sharp thorns on them!

"Pick it up" Maya pointed at the vines on the ground.

Liam pushed his fears aside and walk towards the scary vines, he crouch down and study the vine, looking for somewhere that has no thorns but it seems that Maya had pick this after some consideration and is full of thorns.

"What are you doing?" Maya asked when she saw Liam attempting to break the thorns to create a handle.

"What did it look like I am doing? I am removing the thorns of course" Liam answered, to him, the answer is pretty obvious.

"Idiot, it will increase the efficiency if the vines dug into your skin, the poison will enveloped the vine much faster you know" Maya berated and discourage what he is attempting.

Liam decided to ignore her and continue breaking the vines but she still interrupted again, "Just saying but as a black rose, you should get accustomed to pain"

"Ehh?" Liam is surprised, is this girl trying to turn him into a masochist or what?!

His looks says it all and Maya sighed after seeing it, "You have a thick skull" She said after remembering what he did to Hanna.

She knew that he will say something like did you enjoy pain? Is that why you want to turn me into a masochist? And that will be disastrous especially since he will say it when they meet with the rest, just thinking about made a hint of red appeared on her face.

Therefore, she decided to let the little guy do what he wants.

"Aha, this is much better" Said Liam after removing some Vine around the area that he turned into a handle.

Liam grab it and slowly guided his poison towards his right hand that is holding the vine, the handle slowly took a tinge of purple before spreading towards the other parts!

"Yes, you can do it. Keep going" Maya encouraged from the side.

"This is… amazing" Liam is excited as he felt a powerful connection with the vine as if it is another limb!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Liam swing the vine twice in quick succession and torture the wooden dummy before him with many tiny wounds and deep ones as well!

"So how do I make the thorns shoot out?" Liam asked.

"Look" Maya grabbed a vine not caring about the thorns that have pierce her hands And the blood that is trickling down , it quickly changed color, and Liam flinched when he saw the dripping blood!

Whoosh!

She swung it horizontally towards the direction of the wooden dummy, the vine does not collided with the Wooden dummy due to the distance but instead, thorns shot out one after the other in the same horizontal line as the vine, they continued towards the wooden dummy in a horizontal style!

Some of them hit the wood dummy while some went past it, just when Liam is about to comment he saw a bizarre scene!

The thorns that have flew past the wooden dummy made a detour and hit it! The poison spread from the point of impact at a speed visible to the naked eyes.

"How is that possible?!"
