Asher then took its core and some of its meat and walked away.
"No, what are your available options?" asked Asher.
*Ding: Neo can...*
"Can you stop talking in 3rd person?" said Asher.
*Ding: Yes I can, Ash*
"That's better, anyway what were you saying?" said Asher.
*Ding: My options are:
Inventory, Status, and Scan*
"How does scan work?" asked Asher.
*Ding: I can scan anything that makes contact with you*
"Really? is this fruit edible then?" asked Asher Ash as he touched a purple looking fruit.
*Ding: This is not a fruit*
"What are you talking about? this clearly a fruit...!?" The purple fruit moved and eight sharp spikes came out, fortunately, Asher moved his hand away.
The fruit was actually a spider, it hissed at Asher before hiding inside the bushes.
"...Neo! why didn't you warn me?!" asked Asher
*Ding: ...*

Later that day Asher found the perfect place to train, it was a small empty piece of land, beside it was a small cave and waterfall.
"The perfect place!" he then entered the cave, and after making sure it was safe inside, he relaxed.
He then sat and took two books from the spatial ring, even though the cave was dark, it was as clear as the day for Asher.
The books that Asher took out from his ring were the Energy and Aura manipulation manuals.
"Let's try this" he then concentrated.
*Woosh*
Grey transparent aura began to leak out from his body covering him completely, the grey energy then began to concentrate in his hand.
*Woosh!*
Asher then clenched his glowing hand into a first and punched a rock.
*Boom!* the rock exploded.
Asher looked in amazement, he then relaxed and the grey energy/aura vanished.
He then sat back and started reading the books.
______________________________________
It was night, Asher was still reading the books, and learned some useful aura and energy techniques.
*Ding:
@Aura techniques:
-Aura blast:
Concentrating your aura on your first, leg...etc and attacking an opponent will result in an energy explosion, but you will be immune to your energy explosion.
-Aura armor:
Create a layer of aura on your skin that will block any attack and debuff as long as the target's energy/aura is weaker than you. but not that aura armor is not invincible.
-Aura shot:
Able to separate your aura from your body, slashing with an arm, leg, sword... etc will create an "aura slash", an archer can shot "aura arrows" (Arrows made from aura) from his bow. the range increase with training.
@Energy techniques:
-Energy healing:
Able to use energy to heal wounds.
-Energy barrier:
Similar to aura armor, but a barrier covers more space.
-Energy Bolt:
Creates "energy bolts", size, and shape of the energy attacks can be changed.
-Aura Manipulation:
Able to manipulate elements that surround the caster, (A typical mage)*
Asher then remembers and took the ranked beast core.
The core was as big as a tennis ball it was glowing in the grey light, Asher began to concentrate and his body began to absorb the energy inside the core.
*Ding/Absorption:
Mid-rank 63%... High-rank Apprentice... 2%*
"I leveled up? and why didn't you show me this previously?" asked Asher.
*Ding: Yes, I scanned the energy limit of your cores and calculated the energy needed to break through, then I created a simplified version*
"Oh! thanks, Neo" said Asher with a smile.
