章節 25: The New Ability Explained

Tao Xue demonstrated the special ability of his to the Principal. The routine lasted for about one minute and half, and when Tao Xue was finished with it, he saw the expression on the Principal's face, which was just the same as that of teacher Bao Tan, back at class. Tao Xue had thought that the Principal wouldn't be shocked, but even he was shocked to such an extent. He couldn't help imagining what would be the level of power of this ability of his.

The Principal recuperated from the shock he got, and said, "You might be knowing that there are various realms in Cultivation, right. Well, here's something I'll tell you. The people who are on a lower realm doesn't know anything at all about the higher realm, but the person of the higher realm knows everything about the lower realm. It's just like you know about your past, but you don't have any clue about your future. The skill that you have used is something that not even 10th level experts of this realm can use. You didn't absorb any energy, and directly used the energy of the Heaven and Earth. Other than that, you also materialized it into a physical form. The highest level experts of the Human realm can't even dream of using energy that isn't theirs. The 10th level experts can materialize the energy into physical forms, but that can only be done with their own energy. As the matter is, you can freely control the energy of the Heaven and Earth, which is simply limitless, and boundless, but you haven't mastered this art, and you don't have any practice. Other than that, you have no fighting experience, and you, as of your Body, Mind, and Soul, are totally weak, as of that of someone who isn't a Cultivator. This ability of yours sure has a lot of advantages, but there are a lot of disadvantages as well. As I previously said, we have no knowledge of those of higher realms, so we also have no knowledge as to how you can strengthen this ability of yours. It is very rare that people of the higher realms make contact with us, or they disguise themselves to blend in with us, just for passing their time, having fun, or various reasons. This is why we know of other realms. It is not that this kind of activity happens often, so there's seldom any chance of you getting your talent to be properly nourished. Other than that, you can rely on the energy of the Heaven and Earth, but that doesn't improve your own personal qualities. As it currently stands, this power of yours will not be a match to a Cultivator, unless you also Cultivate. With just this power, you have no, or rather, very less, nearly no chance of success in the future. If you are having difficulty with Cultivating, you can ask me, right now, right here."

As Tao Xue understood the profoundness of the Principal's speech, he started to understand what his power exactly was. He had never thought that it would be so profound that it was above even the 10th level of the Human Realm Of Cultivation. After he heard the last line, he was a bit happy, as he thought the Principal would be able to solve the problem he was facing yesterday, before he made the discovery of his hidden power. As he had heard from the Principal, he could be really strong with this power of his, if he also practiced Cultivation. With all this happiness, excitement, and joy, Tao Xue was also feeling some other emotions in his heart. He was a kind of laid back person, and he wasn't on board with this double-training schedule. He had thought that he wouldn't need to Cultivate at all if he had this special ability with him, but he didn't expect that he would have to practice both of them. He was kind of bored inside his mind. He didn't feel like it would end up like this. He got over this attitude soon, and went over to the Principal.

He asked, "Well, I can't seem to find a route to guide the energy towards myself. I've been trying to find a way to guide the energy, but it's just like it's stuck to me. If something is glued to your face, you acn't eat it, right. That's the same way it is with me. I have the same kind of problem. The energy is staying glued to me, not budging from where it is. It will move around me, not away from me, and neither inside me. I can create a sword that's emerging from my hand, but I can't do the same if I have to use someone else's hand. Nor can I create a sword inside me. It's just like an additional layer of clothing, other than the fact that it's permanent. It's like a skin, which your bones can't absorb. Without absorbing the energy, I can't Cultivate myself using it. That's why I can't Cultivate."

Any normal person would find the analogies used by Tao Xue to be overly weird, and slightly vulgar, but, that wasn't the case with the Principal. He was kind of happy that Tao Xue used such 'lively' analogies, and that they also conveyed the meaning properly.

He thought about the issue, which he himself didn't completely understand, and replied, "Well, what you say is that the energy is attracting you like metal attracts a magnet, and that it itself is acting like an obstruction which makes you unable to Cultivate."

Tao Xue interrupted before the Principal could finish what he was saying, and said, "Well, I think it should be how fleas attract garbage, because not every metal attracts towards a magnet, while every flea attracts towards any kind of garbage."

Both the Principal, and teacher Bao Tan were completely rendered speechless.

Tao Xue didn't understand what was going on, as he said, "Hello... Are you guys dead? Huh!"
