Now that they were in his home ground, Abel seemed to have relaxed. He found a place to sit by the wall and pointed at the ground."Sit on the floor. I only have one bed at home. If you dirty it, I won't have a place to sleep at night. However, as the host, I'll sit on the floor with you.”
“..”Everyone was helpless against Abel's shameless boasting.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Winst saw that everyone was seated and that Abel no longer had any resistance, so he began his plan to rope him in.
"Uncle, if there's anything, just say it. I don't think it's a big deal that would make you come to me so early in the morning.”
" Yes, Abel. We've discussed yesterday's incident internally for a long time. I won't talk about things that have nothing to do with you. Let's talk about things that have to do with you.”
"Is it related to me? What does your internal affairs have to do with me?”Winst's answer confused Abel.
"It's like this. We discussed you yesterday.”
"Me? Uncle, I don't understand what you mean.”
"Just say it. I want to rope you into our Stars Mercenary Group.”
"What? You want me to join you? Uncle, are you joking?" Abel was really shocked. Even though he had expected Winst to sell him as a slave, he had never thought that he would be invited to join their mercenary group.
"Abel, don't be surprised. I'm serious about this, and we've all discussed it.”
"Well, may I ask why?”
"Because you have the talent to be a martial artist. You have good reflexes, a strong will, extraordinary courage, and an indomitable spirit. Although you are very weak now, after our training, your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary.”
"After hearing what you said, I realized that I actually have so many good points.”Even the quick-witted Abel felt like he was floating in the air after hearing this series of compliments.
"Abel, you are a sealed treasure. All you need is a chance, a chance for someone to dig you out.”It had to be said that Winst had the potential to be a lobbyist.
"Uncle, can you let me think about it? This question came too suddenly, and I couldn't accept it for a moment.”
To be honest, Winst's words moved Abel. He had been looking forward to leaving this godforsaken place and living a new life. However, when the day came, he felt a wave of confusion. After all, this was the home he had lived in for 15 years. He was only a 15-year-old child. No matter how mature he was, when he needed to make a decision for his future, he still felt the fear of the unknown. Abandoning everything he was familiar with here and starting a new life that he had never experienced before. Was this new life really suitable for him?
Winst sat there quietly and looked at Abel without saying a word. He couldn't make the decision for Abel. When faced with the unknown, it was a test whether to muster up courage to face it or choose to retreat. If Abel didn't dare to face it himself, Winst wouldn't force him. That was not the kind of Abel he wanted, so all he needed to do now was wait.
After a long time, Abel stood up and bowed deeply in Winst's direction.""Ai Bo greets Leader. Thank you for giving me this chance to change."
"Good, Abel, you didn't disappoint me.”Having received a satisfactory answer, Winst beamed and introduced the others to Abel."Abel, my name is Winst. You can just call me Guild Leader. The one who looks decent is called Brad. He's a Magician, just like Catherine, but he has the Wind Element. Oh right, Catherine, you know who he is, right?”
"Hello, Big Brother Brad, Sister Catherine. I'm sorry for yesterday.”Abel greeted them warmly.
"Hehe, we're family from now on. There's no need to be polite.”Seeing that Abel was so sensible, Brad was so happy that he even forgot to care about Winst's comment about his looks.
"That... It's okay..." Catherine replied with a red face.
"Abel, this is Will, a Thief. The one sitting over there is called Babasa, he will be in charge of your basic training.”
"Hello, Big Brother Will!"
"Yes, welcome to the team." As usual, he answered in Will's style.
"Hello brother Babasa, your body is really strong, I don't know how many beautiful ladies you'll charm if you go out, it's a pity that His Majesty didn't notice you, otherwise the position of general wouldn't have been taken by those people.”When he heard that Babasa was his training instructor, Ai Bo did not hold back and started to flatter him.
"Haha ~~ Little Brother Abel's words are so nice, much better than Brad's.”Babasa, who had been hit by Brad's words, finally had a feeling that it was hard to find a soulmate.
"Alright, Abel, there's no point in you sucking up to him. I'll be the one to set your training program in the future. That's Avril over there. I'm sure you're familiar with her.”
"What? Ha, ha, this…" Beautiful Miss Avril, I apologize for what happened yesterday. It was really an accident. I believe that beauty, wisdom, elegance, and tolerance, the future hope of the elf race, Miss Avril, will definitely forgive me.”Abel laughed and peeked at Avril's expression. When he realized that the volcanic eruption wasn't what he had imagined, he quickly took the opportunity to suck up and apologize.
"Pfft ~ Alright, you win. I won't be angry with you anymore.”Avril, who had been keeping a straight face, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Abel's words.
"Alright, that's all for the introductions. Albert, since you've joined the Stars Mercenary Group, you should get used to the team's operations. We're a team, and we can't lose the big picture because of one person.”Captain Winst instructed Ebdon.
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Guild Leader.”Abel answered seriously. He cherished this hard-won opportunity very much.
"Brad, how much money do we have left?”
"I still have about 3000 gold coins left. I've completed many missions recently and didn't spend much money.”Brad was the finance officer.
"Hmm, how about this, we won't take on any missions for now. We'll give Abel some basic training first. Otherwise, he won't be able to adapt even if we take on missions.”Winst was being very tactful, but everyone understood that if they went out to accept missions like this, Abel would definitely be a burden.
"No objections."
"Abel, you're going to learn battle spirit from me today. They're going to prepare some things. Tomorrow, you'll be undergoing three months of devilish training. If you want to change your life, you have to be prepared to suffer, understand?”
"Understood!"
"Will, go to the blacksmith shop and forge a 10-pound iron bar. Catherine and Avril followed Will to the blacksmith shop. After confirming the shape of the iron block, they went to the tailor shop to make a cloth bag that could just hold the iron block. It had to be strong enough to be tied to the body for weight training. Babasa, go to a forest outside the city and hang five stones on a tree. Don't be too far away from each other. Brad, go and buy the necessities for life in the wild.”Winst methodically assigned their respective tasks.
After everyone left, Winst began to impart combat aura to Abel.
"Battle energy is a type of energy produced within a warrior's body. The difference between it and a mage is that a mage's meditation absorbs external elements, while battle energy is formed within the body. "Of course, not everyone can cultivate battle energy. This also depends on talent. I will teach you the heart technique of battle energy. Now, calm down. I will use my battle energy to guide you. Feel it carefully. This will be very useful for you to understand the heart technique later.”
Abel was no longer the excited 8-year-old kid. His years of meditation allowed him to quickly get into the zone. Winst nodded in satisfaction. He was genuinely satisfied with Abel's performance.
He placed his hand on Abel's abdomen and slowly released a portion of his combat power into Abel's body, slowly circulating it along the path of his combat power cultivation method. After a long time, he finished his meditation and withdrew the combat aura from Abel's body.
Aber opened his eyes, as if he was still immersed in that mysterious feeling. Winst was not in a hurry and let Aber experience it slowly. A moment later, Winst saw that Abel had come back to his senses and asked,""How is it? Did you experience anything?”
"I have some experience, but I can't explain it clearly.”
"Yes, it's good that you have experienced it. Now, I'll teach you the mental cultivation method to circulate your cultivation.”
Ai Bo memorized the mental cultivation method and quickly meditated. Using the experience just now, he tried to gather the qi in his body and let it flow through his meridians along the path in the mental cultivation method.
Ai Bo, who was meditating, finally felt the qi in his body gathering in his abdomen. It slowly gathered in wisps and wisps, and finally formed a small ball of qi. Ai Bo was overjoyed. He had finally succeeded. The next step was to control the air mass to circulate along the meridians in the mental cultivation method. With Winst's guidance earlier, Ai Bo's circulation was naturally smooth.
After one round, Abel slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, feeling the changes in his body.
"Guild Leader, something's not right. I've already mastered battle energy, why haven't there been any changes?”After checking for a long time, Abel did not find anything different about himself. He hurriedly asked Winst for advice.
"Of course. You've just mastered the warrior power. At most, you're just a beginner apprentice. If you really want to experience the effects of warrior power, you have to reach the standard of a regular warrior. However, most people can reach that level in a year. You're very talented, and after some devil training, you should be able to reach that level very soon.”Winst was even happier than he was when he saw that Abel had successfully mastered his battle aura.
"Ah, so it's that troublesome. I thought that I would become more powerful with Dou Qi. When will I be considered to have mastered the real Dou Qi?”
"When you realize that your Dou Qi is no longer growing, you need to condense the Dou Qi into a vortex. When the vortex is formed, it will be time for you to advance.”
"Oh, so that's how it is. Right, is a mage's mental strength also in this form?”
"Hmm? Why did you ask this? Although battle energy and spiritual energy are different, the method of condensing them is the same.”Although he was curious about Abel's question, Winst still answered.
Winst's answer made Abel even more confused. He didn't know the reason. Even after seven years of meditation, his spiritual power hadn't condensed into the form of a vortex. But why was there still an effect after every meditation? What he didn't know was that the training of warrior power and spiritual power wasn't completely useless. It was just that no one would give up on training when they were able to transform their forms. Only Abel, who didn't know how to train, would continue to train like this.
Back then, Roth had forgotten to tell Abel about condensing, so he didn't know anything about it either. Therefore, he continued to cultivate. According to his cultivation speed, his mental strength should have reached the level of a Magic Shooter. However, he didn't know how to cultivate. All he did in the past seven years was to cultivate his mental strength to the maximum, then compress it, then compress it again. Of course, he didn't know about all this. No one had ever trained like him. Even if they knew that the compressed basic spiritual power would have a huge effect on the future of a mage, no one would choose this training method. After all, not everyone had the talent of Aber, and his training speed was several times faster than others.
Therefore, this method was only suitable for Aber, who had just stumbled upon it. Although Aber's mental strength was still at the level of an acolyte, it was far purer than that of other mages. The same spell that he could cast would definitely be much stronger than others, even though he could not cast any spells at the moment.
However, Aber would not understand these principles. Even if Winst did, he would not know that Aber was actually cultivating spiritual power. If he had known, he wouldn't have let Abel learn battle energy. It wasn't that there weren't any people who trained both magic and martial arts in the Hasas Continent, but there were too few people who could reach the high end. As for those who could reach the peak, there wasn't a single one.
