Chapter 7 Furious
…
The busy figure of Han Jin could be seen chopping, scratching, and peeling the bark of the tree branch as he takes a portion of the tree and cut it into a figure in his mind.
He is going to use the bark of the tree to use as a grip for his planned sword using the warthog's tusks.
As he began working a wide smile could be seen on his face as several pieces of information appears in his mind.
'Gained a small amount of Chi…'
'Gained a small amount of Chi…'
Each time that information appears in his mind, he would always feel happy working on his project.
The Onyx Tree just watches in confusion and curiosity as he could feel that something is changing in the body of the young man who is busy working with the tree branch.
The Onyx Tree knew that its tree branch contains a huge amount of natural energy which could be converted by people with inborn powers. But converting that energy and crafting the branch would only yield about 20% of such energy and turn it into an attribute of the created item.
But right now, the Onyx Tree could tell that every move of the young actually did not have any energy wasted. In fact, it seems that all of the energy is compressed in the crafted item.
The old tree just watches with a big smile on his wizened face.
A day later…
Han Jin has finished what he is doing and soon was able to craft a weird-looking handle of a sword. A weird expression appears on the old tree's face but he looks at the handle with rapt attention.
"Hmm… Weird… this is truly weird… I never would have thought that you can actually craft such an ugly thing but the natural energy contained in it is still preserved inside… What a weird way of crafting…" the old man muttered on his own.
"Hey, what do you think?" Han Jin said while showing off the ugly-looking wooden handle.
But as he gripped it, he could feel that there is strange energy coursing through his body increasing his strength and speed.
Everything around him suddenly becomes a bit slower.
But when such a thing happened, Han Jin could feel that something is being sucked out of his body.
'Losing a small portion of Chi…'
Suddenly some words appear in his mind.
"So every, second this is activated by my will, I will lose a small amount of Chi?" Han Jin thought.
After a few tests, he stopped and began crafting one of the tusks of the warthog. He wanted to create two blades as he finds that the snake-tooth blades are not that effective when fighting against a bigger opponent.
Though it has an effect of slight paralysis against a bigger opponent, he experienced that the warthog seems to have not been affected by it that much.
So he needed a bigger and sharper sword so that he could defend himself better against any creature in this dangerous forest. After all, he could not stay in this place for that long, right?
A few hours later, he now connected the new warthog tusk blade to the handle.
When he looks at it, a slight twitch appears on his mouth as he now could see what his hard work appearance is.
It is not that aesthetically pleasing in the eyes, in fact, it looks horrendous. But when he wields it in his hand he could feel a hidden strength from it.
And soon, a piece of information appears.
'Material: Tusk and Onyx Divine Wood… Type: Weapon… Class: C… Report: Sharpness equals that of steel, Chi would be used to add to its sharpness and durability and it might even cut through steel.'
As he swings the sword which looks more like a machete, he could hear a strange sound reverberating from it as if it is some kind of aura.
"This is something else… I did not know I could create something like this…" Han Jin exclaimed while looking at the ugly-looking blade.
As he hacks at the tree branch, he saw it easily cutting a portion of the tree branch.
When this happened, he could hear a slight gasping sound from the Onyx Tree watching on the side.
"What kind of devilish thing is that?!" the old Onyx Tree commented.
He has been noticing that the young man before him could actually chip his branch without his help. It did not appear in his mind because he was too fascinated with what has been happening in front of him.
Now that he noticed everything, he now showed an amazed expression as he now discovered that something is really weird with the youth in front of him that he has actually befriended.
"Peculiar, truly peculiar…" is what he could only say.
Seeing the grinning face of the young man, the old Onyx Tree could not help but remember his former friend.
The only difference is that the youth before him is not as scared as the other one.
The youth is actually filled with confidence and happiness as if he is not in a dangerous forest filled with dangerous beasts.
"I need to test this out…" Han Jin suddenly said as he looks around.
But before he could do anything several branches appears and blocked his path.
"Are you seeking death?" the old Onyx Tree said with a deep frown.
He now discovered that this young youth is actually this reckless.
"You're going out with just a blade? Without a piece of armor or anything?" the Onyx Tree reminded him and then looks at him with a weird expression.
"Ah, right?! But… I already have this…" Han Jin showed his snake skin armor which made the Onyx Tree show a scowl on its wizened face.
Suddenly a branch whips out and hit Han Jin.
Han Jin was sent flying as folded his body in pain.
"Now, can you say that you can still go out there and not get hurt?"
Hearing these words, Han Jin realized that the snakeskin armor is not enough for him to survive in this deadly place.
He picks himself up and an idea came to his mind. But he still feels a pang of pain in his side as he winces in pain.
"Did you have to hit that hard?" he said with a frown.
However, he also knew that what the old man did is only to make sure that he is going to be safe while venturing out there so, he is not that angry with the old tree.
He did not say anything and just walked towards the tree branch and began once again furiously working to make a piece of armor.
It was already late at night when he stopped his furious action of hacking and chiseling the Onyx tree branch.
Only when he noticed that it was already evening that he realized that he could actually see even at night. This kind of event is very mysterious to him, so he could only wonder.
But at that time when he worked and become focused, he did not even mind his surroundings anymore. There is only one thing in his mind… to craft a strong armor… strong enough to protect him against even the attack from the old tree.
Soon, he is now holding another ugly crafted thing. There are two pieces of it, one looks like something that could be put on the front while the other one is for the back.
If the two are put together it could serve as a full breastplate made of wood.
He attached some strings to it and has finally finished it with a few attachments.
"There! This should do it!" Han Jin exclaimed.
Whack!
But before he could react, a long vine appears and slammed into the armor.
"Do you think this thin and flimsy thing could protect you?" the old Onyx Tree asked with a scoff.
But he suddenly froze as he lifted the vine and saw that the armor is still intact.
"This… How could this be?" the old Onyx Tree muttered as he showed disbelief on his face.
"Hehe… Would you look at that?" Han Jin showed a big smile on his face as he confidently smirked.
He did not hesitate to quickly put on the armor and then noticed a special effect on his body.
'Material: Divine Onyx Tree… Type: Armor… Class: C… Report: A piece of armor that contains the divine Chi of the Onyx Tree... the energy of life… making it very strong and would slowly heal the wearer's wounds in time.'
Upon seeing this, Han Jin was surely astonished.
He carefully touches the armor as if it is some kind of a very beautiful thing.
His action made the old Onyx Tree show a weird expression on his wizened face.
His mouth even twitches as how the young man seems to be treating the armor like it was the most beautiful thing in the world.
"Hmm… I think I need to teach this young fellow about what beauty is all about. With his current aesthetic, I think everything he would create would be the butt of the joke of everyone…" the old Onyx Tree showed a determined expression.
