Heart Cultivation - 233 Horrible, Isn't It?

The Learning of Third Aptitude

Jen was sitting silently.

She stood up and shook aside her thoughts about the dream, she prepared herself and sat on the floor.

Wang Bo came and sat in front of her, he could see her mood was off a bit, and he don’t know why.

“Are you ready for learning or you needed some time?” he politely asked.

“I am alright, and ready to learn,” if she wasted this precious time how she could face that arrogant in the future, she thought in her head.

Wang Bo nodded, “The aptitude of Illusion focuses on the weaknesses of others but this is not true, it is the true description of the strength and power of the person who learns it,” from the name it bear, one can easily misunderstand the actual reason behind this naming.

Since limited number of Cultivators can learn aptitude and attributes, so when a normal Cultivator face this situation, they would take it as the ambush of the opponent but it was a thing to not able to face it and blame at the opponent, this aptitude was connected to the strength of the heart and mind, as long as as Cultivator has strong hold on heart, no one can harm through this aptitude.

The peak of the Cultivation was heart and if it doesn’t hold strength then the Cultivator was still vincible.

Anyone can take advantage of this weakness and it was not limited for the battle.

There were many techniques for the Cultivators, those could directly harm the heart of a Cultivator in a battle because an open dominion was a source and weakness for heart Cultivators.

There were some prohibited and hidden techniques through which the weaknesses can be manipulated.

As long as one was cautious, one can survive.

Every technique has a rival technique that could neutral the effects, if there were Attributes of Nature then there were Aptitude of Efficiency, and it keep the balance between the power.

There were some powerful techniques created by elderly Cultivators and these techniques could equally face if it was powerful Attribute of Nature or it was Efficiency Aptitude.

“You need to borrow the light from your Attribute and connect with your Acmes Pair,” Wang Bo guided.

Jen followed his instructions, she felt that the light was seeping and it lost half of it’s aura until it reach the Acmes Pair.

“You need to activate your essence chord to keep a strong hold on the light until you learn to guide this light properly without the help of essence chord,” he explained.

“See,” he moved his hand and light flickered around him, then the light disappeared, she carefully looked, he was still moving his hand but there was no light flickering around, “Look at your head, it’s there,” he closed his eyes.

He was using Enhalo’, “Since you are not focused, I can easily manipulated your heart and let you witness which actually does not exist,” he answered.

The Enhalo’ increased the light manipulation and Jen was completely covered with it, she saw herself sitting on a throne in a red dress.

She blinked her eyes but the scene remained the same, she looked around but there was no one else other than the flowers, she was lost because her broken concentration reminded her dream.

She ran around only to bump into a man, she was frightened or scare she was not sure, she rose up her head and several times blinked her eyes but it was Wang Bo.

In her worry, she was running in her room, the flower throne was nothing but a bare floor, while running she bumped into Wang Bo, “I thought your heart was strong enough,” he looked straight in her eyes and spoke.

She lowered her eyes then looked around, and clutched her fist, was she under the effect of illusion but how it happened to resemble her dream.

“What did you see was just the manipulation of a powerful illusion nothing else, now you can understand what I meant when I said to concentrate and focus, your broken concentration helped me a lot for this illusion,” he saw fear on her face though it was for just few moments but his heart ached.

“Does this senior know what illusion I had just now?” she asked embarrass.

“It was your illusion, how can I know?” he shrugged his shoulders hiding his smile.

When she ran around with fear and bumped into him, for a moment, she felt secured to see that it was Wang Bo whom she met and but now it felt unnecessary.

“If I reverse this, and you are the one who spreading illusion and I am your opponent, do you know what would have happened?” he asked.

Jen don’t know the answer.

“I will have used your Enhalo’ against you,” he tried to sound that it would have been terrible and horrible experience for her.

Jen calmed herself down and sat on the floor.

It was because that she was already affected by her dream and moreover her concentration was not strong enough and this gave an opening for Wang Bo to manipulate her Acmes Pair and create illusion.

She focused and lead her essence chord to cover the light from Acmes Pair and practice initial steps, she also used her insights to keep a strong hold on her safe learning.

She was fierce a little this time.

“What is that?” Wang Bo asked, he saw this blur mist for the first time and he could not learn the it’s fiber core immediately, what was this exactly.

“This is called insights and this senior is the only one who witnessed them,” he clearly understood what she was implying, that means she trusted him this much that she was ready to use her secretive technique or whatever she called it, insights.

He nodded simply.

Wang Bo engrossed himself while waiting for her to understand the study of this aptitude.

Jen on the other hand found the more accurate reason why she failed, her Acmes Pair which was as untrustworthy as some enemy provide the opening.

It was the most unsecure Acmes Pair in this sense.

The moment the Cultivator stopped guarding, it would betray and would not feel ashame at all.

The reason was simple, when a Cultivator spread dominion, it got exposed even if one was not using the related attribute.

“Senior, how can be reduced the weakness of this Acmes Pair?” Jen asked, since she has this senior why not ask him instead of spending much time, time was the only thing she lack.

“You can cover this Acmes Pair with a small layer of Fury Armor, the stronger your layer, the better protection it could provide,” he answered with closed eyes.

“This simple?” Jen followed and it really worked.

Jen appreciated this senior and his knowledge.

Now she was less worried for the safety of this Acmes Pair.

She separated Enhalo’ and studied through the aptitude, the flickering light sometimes separate and present the light show of various colors and other time it turns black and white gloomy, she took some time to learn that this directly effect the power of illusion and create a stable illusion for the opponent.

Wang Bo has lot of patience, he was sitting there while keeping eye on her development.

He was lost what he saw during her illusion, she was careless, she looked immensely beautiful in the red dress, when she was running while scared, she bumped into him and the same moment, he happened to look into her illusion.

If it was said that he intentionally connected himself to her illusion then it was not all wrong.

Who said her to run around and then rest on his chest even if it was for few moments.

Unaware of his thoughts, Jen kept a consistent look out on her study, after third day, she was ready to test the illusion.

“Senior…” she asked.

“Alright…” Wang Bo agreed.

She collected her complete strength and created Enhalo’ it flickered in her hand and then moved toward Wang Bo, essence chord covered the light.

Wang Bo let her create illusion though he was strong enough to use this Enhalo’ against her but he didn’t stop it’s light.

Wang Bo saw himself standing at the peak of dune and running around while shouting his lungs out, ‘Jen’

Jen retracted the light and she was forced to stand up after she looked at the senior, his eyes were wet and he felt worn out.

“What did you witness senior?” she came close and asked.

“I lost you in a desert and I was shouting your name in hope that perhaps you could hear and return,” he spoke and stood up, he don’t need to sit there and watch, Jen has learned it well, he silently went in his room leaving Jen dumbfounded.

She could not understand what was she doing in his illusion, should not be it different illusion and reflect the person’s inner fears or something?
