Wind Path

He rushed into the jungle and was moving very fast. " I did not know that the jungle doesn't restrict movement with wind path. Does it mean the bird was tricking me."

Earlier he brought the bird in the jungle to slow it down, he thought he was tricking the bird to follow him in the jungle.

Now when he actually used the skill, he got to know that the jungle not at all affects the skill.

The bird was playing him but did not expect a sudden attack. " Does that mean the only reason I was able kill the bird was because it cut through the tree and slowed down itself." he gasped

When he used his knife to attack the bird he almost crippled his leg with the bursting of energy.

"If not for that burst of energy through my legs, I would have become a meal" he said to himself, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The beasts are too intelligent, they think and scheme like humans" he was running aimlessly in the forest but now that he knew about the bird's trick, he grew cautious.

He put on his beast armament illusion lens and went floating from tree to tree. " I do not know the type of beast i am chasing but it seems intelligent. It hide its tracks and has some kind of concealment skill."

"Wheter it has a strong combat ability is another question. But if it had combat ability it would not have escaped." he was trying to guess the beast's species from all the clues.

He could not exactly pinpoint the beast but he could at least get an idea of its combat level and ability because of the book he read.

"From the method the beast escaped it does not look like it is a beast that has flying or invisibility." he came to this conclusion because of no traces left.

"The beast with invisibility would not even care to escape." an invisible beast would have likely attacked him from the very beginning.

He was good at sensing but not enough to trace an invisible beast trying to sneak attack. The beast would not spare someone, he was still alive it meant there was no invisible beast.

"A beast with flying ability would not rush into dense jungle and would fly above it. I did not see a beast above the jungle which means it is not a flight type beast."

He now did not have any other ideas of what the beast could be. Suddenly he had an idea of what if the beast could teleport.

His grandfather said to him that the space type beasts were rare but it did not mean there could be none.

He jumped backed on the ground and started inspecting the area slowly. He was careful of the beast with unknown ability.

When he came across a normal looking tree he saw the ground beneath the root has been dug a little.

It had traces of it been dug and then covered up. A type of species came to his mind, he could not be sure but it seemed as if it was a earth type beast.

Earth type beast were normally a strong defense type but some small beasts like rat , squirrel and such had ability of earth escape.

They could not fight very well but had an excellent escape ability. They could travel freely under the land. Beasts with such ability could only be countered with speed or space type ability.

"If there is no space type beast then it is the only one that comes to mind is able to escape without leaving traces."

he went back to where he cooked the meat.

He searched for hidden places such as roots of trees or dense bushes. He did not have to search for long.

He found traces of digging under the root of a tree. It was same as the tree he had seen earlier.

He felt relief that it was not a space type beast. The worst possible match for low level private could be a match against a space type.

Even among high level private a space type ability is strong. Those people can escape whenever they want and can come back for revenge.

Roan did not want to search for a troublesome beast. He could not find it anyway, he waited for the demon kangaroo to show up while roasting his dinner.

Using the newly learnt skill, he was increasing the fire to roast the meat well. He was also vigilant and checking for another beast nearby.

He was growing accustomed to using his energy and skill with more efficiency. Most of the battles he fought was basically him using all his energy while damaging himself to kill the beast.

He had a total 19 energy stat but he could only control 3 point of it. while using reinforce he could use 4 point but not with full control.

The energy was violent and could only be used to damage others.

He was wondering what to do then subconsciously chose to open the system.

Reinforcement from wind element ]

He was wondering how the system would show the new skill. He did expect it to work like this.

His system had another option below his status. It was Skill tab in the same font as other texts.

Skill tab showed the skill he learnt, the level of the skill and the description of skill. In the description of the skill, only four words were available.

It said ' Reinforcement from wind', it sounded clear and simple but also very complicated. One could understand that the wind element would aid the user.

But other than that they could not understand the limit of reinforcement. It did not clarify how the skill would aid the user.

It was the same as when he learnt the skill. It had lots of possibility but no specific feature, one could use and train in this for whole life and other could just use it as a movement skill.

What he was most curious about was the level of the skill. It showed level 1 which means he was just a beginner in the skill.

He wanted to know if the level up of skill would give him stats point or not.

However it did give him the clarification that the potential of skill was a lot more. It was just level one and it boosted his speed to double of his initial speed.

He could not use it in his attacks yet because he had difficulty coating the knife with energy but soon he would be able to use the skill to its peak.

He was getting better at controlling his energy and even while cooking he was controlling fire with his wind path, honing his skill.

He closed his system, hoping to get to learn more of its uses later. He wanted to know why the skill tab did not show that he cultivated White Sutra and only showed wind path.

"Is it because sutra does not come under skill? if sutra does not come under skill then shouldn't it have another tab like sutra to mention the sutra I train in?"

"Or is it because I learnt the skill after gaining the system but I learnt my sutra before activating the system. So it did not know of skills I have trained before" he guessed of the reason why sutra was not under skill.

Deep down he knew that sutra is different from skill. His sutra that he trained in has possibility to train in any element which is different from skills.

But still he wanted to know why there was no information regarding his sutra. It was not something similar to reinforce which he roughly learnt.

There was no mention of reinforce in his skill tab because it was rough use of energy to protect the body.

It did not have any usage like a skill, it was a crude method to use energy. He easily understood this concept and felt that if he could use it better then it might turn into a skill.

"If it works like this than I might gain more understanding of the skill levels in system."

He learnt to control energy and reinforce his body. If he wanted to judge it based on level with upper limit being 7 then his skill could not even reach level 1.

Earlier he might have judged it to be 1. But now that he had a skill of same level, he knew that his usage of energy was really below level 1.

It did not dishearten him but made him more happy. His level not being in level 1 meant that he could use it better than now.

It meant the damage from his energy could be more fatal and he could use it to defend more critical and powerful attacks.

The meat was cooked very well and no beast dared to come and fight him for meat this time.

He had expected very few beast to show up or at least spy on him from distance, but none of it happened.

He slowly ate the meat which was very well cooked but it did not taste good without salt and spices.

He was in middle of jungle and knew that salt and spices were something even luxurious than the beast crystals.

He had his fill and ate most of the meat. The leftovers were still a lot, enough to feed two adult humans.

He did not care for the leftovers but was still paying attention to anyone's approach for food.

Still no beast came up. He did not know if it was because it was night and he had already killed the two most aggressive beast in the area or it was their fear for something else.

He did not care anymore, he left the area in search for the place where the now dead kangaroo lived.

He did not have a place to rest in yet. He wanted to search for the kangaroo's residence or an already empty place for him to rest.

While moving he was very careful and cautious. He was still checking for any sneak attacks.

He had a intuition that something bad was about to happen. No matter how well he checked the area or sensed for anything dangerous but this feeling was still there.

It felt as something bad was about to happen but he did not know what.

"Is it because I killed the kangaroo that resided here? Is there something more powerful than the kangaroo?"

he did not know the reason for his hurried breathing and his fast heart beating.

It made him more worried now that he did not know the full situation. Suddenly he thought of the meat he ate.

He left the meat untouched and then came back and ate the meat not even checking if the meat was safe.

Now that he thought about it, he thought of the moment when he first started feeling worried.

"It was after I ate the meat, I felt worried and my heart started beating faster."

"Was the kangaroo's meat poisonous? but it did not seem like it had an ability related to poison. Though I did not even gave it an attempt to hit me." he was now more sure that it was the problem with the meat.

"Did the beast who eat the part of meat was a poisonous one?" he thought of possibility that the beast unintentionally poisoned the meat.

"Or is it some beast intentionally using poison to kill me" this was more likely truth, he knew the beasts were shrewd.

He checked his system for any information but it was same as before. Nothing mentioned about being poisoned.

He circulated his white sutra and checked his whole body. A red energy of same color as blood was spread inside his hands.

This was the place where the bird cut him. He quickly checked the other places the bird cut him and found out that all the places had something similar to the red energy.

He circulated the sutra more fiercely forcing the energy out of his body. He did not know whether it was poison or something else but he knew it was harmful to him.

He was not able to force the energy out. It seemed to be clinging to his blood. It did not want to leave his body.

He used his energy and circulated the sutra the best he could. It seemed to be resisting the red energy. It took ten minutes but some of energy was forced out.

He did not dare to be careless and concentrated fully on forcing the energy out.

The pain of his muscle tearing could be felt. But this was the only possible way to force the energy out. The red weird energy was tearing him from inside not wanting to leave.

He endured the terrible pain, his body started trembling but still he concentrated on his sutra.

It took him three whole hours to force energy out of his blood. His body was wet with sweat, he could not even hum.

He could not muster any energy to speak or act. He was sitting in the position he was circulating his sutra.

It looked as if a dead body was made to sit on the ground and poured water on it.
