CHAPTER 79: SUPERIOR VERSION

[Meditation Harmonizing Method (Incomplete) (SSS-Grade Technique)]

While looking at the technique she just acquired, Xue Qingyue couldn’t help but once again look at it for the third time in a row before taking a look at the young man who gave him such treasure, wondering whether he is sane for handing her even just an incomplete portion of it.

"A-are you sure you want to trade something like this with me?" looking at him once again as she asks in uncertainty, the ethereal beauty feels something stuck in her throat as she wants to genuinely express her gratitude, however, something in her is preventing her from doing as she knows that a simple word of thanks even if she trades such treasure with her other techniques wouldn’t be enough.

"I told you right, it’s a fair trade, Miss Qingyue, you get this useful method I just learned, and I get more techniques from you" Azrael then smiles as he replies to her question, his simple answer making her shake her head as she feels like he wasn’t aware of the significance of this technique he created.

"I thought you’re really smart and sharp, but it seems like you’re still a bit naïve, boy..." shaking her head as she hears his answer, she said, not with a mocking but rather a reprimanding tone, as if telling him that he shouldn’t be like this in the future.

"I am not, Miss Qingyue, believe it or not..." the young man pointed in denial, the lady intending to refute his words if not for him continuing his statement.

"... Just count it as an investment and a binding pact between the two of us, Miss Qingyue, I mean, if you think about it, you having this technique will bring us in the same boat, so it’s an even more assurance for me, right?"

Hearing his words, the ethereal beauty couldn’t help but think that this reasoning made sense, after all, if one of them were to have a trouble because of them owning such an absurd technique, then there’s no way the other one would just sit by and allow others to learn this technique as well, a technique that would give them so much advantage especially when it reaches higher levels of mastery.

"I take my words back, you’re a cunning little thing, boy~" she claimed as acknowledge his wits, pausing for a bit before she continues their conversation, making a decision in her mind that will start a change between the two of them, something so subtle for now that they won’t even realize it until much later.

"You know, I was searching in my mind for a technique that might be of an equal value to this treasure but well, there’s just nothing I can find so let me give you a little something~" she said as she moves her index finger towards his forehead, the two of them doing this for multiple times already now that they both already got used to it.

"I lied, well, half-lied when I claimed that those three meditation arts are my inheritances, well, they are, indeed, my main inheritances anyways, but not in this form" she described as she finished transferring him something, the smile not leaving her gorgeous face as she lets the young man figure out what it is that she gave him.

And not a moment later, Azrael finally figures it out as multiple notifications pop out in front of him, all of them pertaining to things that none of the ascenders on Earth can ever imagine as of now.

[Detected a sudden increase in the ascender’s mental activity. Identified the reason for this to be a technique transference.]

[Acquired the technique: Golden Immortal Forging Art]

[Detected that the technique: Golden Immortal Forging Art, is a superior version of the technique: Immortal Forging Art, all mastery of the latter mentioned technique will be devoured to improve the mastery of the technique: Golden Immortal Forging Art, this process will destroy the technique: Immortal Forging Art.]

[Acquired the technique: Indestructible Heavenly Body Tempering Method]

[Detected that the technique: Indestructible Heavenly Body Tempering Method, is a superior version of the technique: Indestructible Pure Body Tempering Method, all mastery of the latter mentioned technique will be devoured to improve the mastery of the technique: Indestructible Heavenly Body Tempering Method, this process will destroy the technique: Indestructible Pure Body Tempering Method.]

[Detected that the technique: Immortal Soul Refining Art, is a superior version of the technique: True Soul Forging Art, all mastery of the latter mentioned technique will be devoured to improve the mastery of the technique: Immortal Soul Refining Art, this process will destroy the technique: True Soul Forging Art.]

After reading through all the notification that comes from the azure floating screen, Azrael felt all the effects of those three S-Grade techniques disappearing for a second, before it suddenly got replaced by another surge of strength far greater than that of those three techniques, shocking him immensely as he takes a look at them on the technique section of the azure floating screen.

"How is it, boy? Better, right?" enjoying the shocked expression on the young man’s face, Xue Qingyue asked with a proud expression on her beautiful face, her nose slightly pointing up as she feels like it is only right for the young man to feel amazed with such thing, after all, it is not everyday that one can acquire such an extremely high grade technique, not to mention three of them, all being meditation techniques that is even more valuable than other techniques of the same grade.

"Mhm... I feel like the increase is even greater than their previous version" Azrael replies in admiration as he clenches his fist, feeling another surge in power as he do so, his strength even greater than it previously is.
