Chapter 138 - Trying The New Changes

When Malaka joined the Blue Orchid District/Faction, she didn't enter the Spiritual Rebirth Formation straight away. As Rean and Roan heard before, she had been there for three weeks only. That means Malaka spent her first week doing other things there.

During that first week, Malaka's Senior Sisters, especially Amanda, tried out her combat power. It was then that they were shocked by her performance. Be it the use of Meridians, Elemental Control, Techniques, Staff Attack Style, etc. they were simply immaculate. The only reason she couldn't bring out the entire power of those moves was her lack of cultivation and comprehension. Nevertheless, a perfect foundation was laid bare for her already.

When they asked where how she learned all of that, she simply replied with a dark expression.

"It was Roan, he kept forcing me to train, train, train, and train even more. If anything I did was not to his like, he would punish me without mercy. I don't even want to remember anymore."

Amanda couldn't help but ask.

"Wasn't Roan a Sword User? Who taught you your Staff Style, and how is it called?"

Malaka pondered a bit before answering.

"Roan is good with any weapon. He can defeat me even if he suppresses his cultivation to my level using any type of weapon he wishes. Roan said he invented it. Roan calls it Death Style. My Staff is Death Staff Style, his Sword is Death Sword Style, the Spear is Death Spear Style, etc. He says that his style is totally focused on taking your opponent's life with the least amount of moves."

At that time, Amanda and the other female disciples didn't really believe it. After all, how could a kid be proficient with all kinds of weapons? It would already be very good if they were to master the basics of a single one. Let alone Malaka's other traits like the use of her Meridians, Elemental Control, etc. How could Roan know this much?

Back in the Gathering event building, Amanda began to doubt her convictions. Roan only fought Ria for less than a minute, but he already saw through all her flaws and even described them in detail. Not only that, but Roan also offered a solution! Of course, he also warned that it wouldn't fix the root of the problem. That being said, could it be that Roan had an idea of how to fix the Meridians problem on the waist?

Still, there was only one way to test the solution given by Roan.

Amanda then got up in the arena. Her cultivation is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Her opponent just so happens to be a genius of the Sky Faction, which most of the Wind Element kids are brought over. He also has the same cultivation as Amanda, and their ages are only a single year apart. Amanda is 14 this year, while Lavo, her opponent, is 15.

The battle started, and it soon reached a stalemate. From the looks of it, a winner would not come out of it anytime soon. However, girls are naturally weaker when one thinks about the body resistance. There was no helping it. It was just how nature worked. If the battle really continued like this for too long, Amanda would eventually lose.

Amanda knew her opponent, that's why she decided to battle him. That would also be the best place to try out Roan's ideas. Although Amanda was reluctant to accept a man's help, she couldn't help but want to try it.

After changing the concentration of Spiritual Energy in her knees, as Roan mentioned, Amanda began her counter-attack once more. At first, the battle continued in the same stalemate. That's because this was something Amanda was trying for the first time, so she couldn't miraculously master such a change instantly.

However, as the battle progressed, Amanda got more and more used to her new stance. The stalemate that would bring her defeat began to crumble as she gained the advantage. The flaws left behind by the poor use of Wind Element and Meridians on the waist got harder and harder for her opponent to exploit. That wasn't all. Her attack power and speed were also improving with her new stance.

Finally, Amanda saw an opening. In fact, it wasn't really an opening. At least, it wasn't in the past. That's because she wouldn't be able to exploit it before hearing Roan's idea. It was a completely new opening that didn't exist for her previously. Ultimately, Amanda seized the victory against her opponent, thanks to that.

"Amanda Wins!"

Her opponent couldn't believe what he saw.

"Amanda, since when you got this strong?"

His full name was Lavo Cerfio. He knew Amanda very well, and they had fought several times in other gatherings. That's why he was shocked to have lost. Although victory wasn't guaranteed, he would always have a higher chance due to the difference in their resistance.

Amanda, of course, was startled too. At the last moment, her body almost moved on its own and was very comfortable to do so. It was the first time that her sword style connected a hit soo... naturally.

"I... I've been making a few changes in my Sword Style."

That's all she could have said. She then looked to the side just to see an 11 to 12 years old kid. He had pure black hair and looked at her with a weird smile. Sure enough, who else would it be if not Roan?

Suddenly, she received a Spiritual Sense message from him.

"I'm glad that those changes worked out."

Amanda's cheeks and ears went red. Others might not have noticed, but how could Roan not? Those were the changes that he proposed! Of course, Roan didn't mind it at all if Amanda wanted to take the credit or not. He only taught Ria so much to apologize for what Rean and he did in the Blue Orchid District/Faction. Obviously, he wouldn't talk about that, though.

Before Amanda could reign over her embarrassment and answer Roan's words, he already turned around and left. Roan had no intention of exposing the truth whatsoever. Since he gave the information to them, it was up to those female disciples to decide how to use it. He might as well consider it a gift too.

Amanda gritted her teeth and stomped her feet on the ground. She then turned around and left the arena while thinking.

'Hmph! You must be dreaming if you think I'll thank you.'

However, her red cheeks and ears would hardly convince anyone of her words.
