Final Training Session

Oren finally returned the next day. He had every one gather up and gave them their Competition token.

"Now your break is over, we have around five months till the competition. Now we will be going to a place owned by the council of fire in the nature continent to cultivate. This will be our last training session with me. Follow me."

They all flew through the sky on their beasts. Oren led them closer to the world tree. He found a spot with dead earth and landed next to it.

Oren put his feet on it and a formation activated. The earth moved and a hole opened. Strong fire energy burst out.

The ten moved in and so did Oren. After he entered the formation activated and the earth closed again.

The ten landed in a fire energy dense area. Leon was surprised by how strong the fire energy was he could sense it was fierce and sharp. It was from a strong beast.

"This cave contains the energy from the corpse of a strong fire beast. Use this energy to cultivate for the next ten days." Oren turned around and stared at the group. He blinked and saw their were eleven people.

He noticed a young ruby haired girl was standing next to Leon. "Leon, who is she?"

"Oh, her? She's my sister." Leon answered casually. He had gotten used to calling her his sister and it was basically second nature now.

Oren smiled, "Your sister? She looks adorable and all but can you tell my why she's here?"

"Well, I couldn't leave her at the city."

Oren didn't bother arguing, "Whatever we can't do anything since she's already here. Her safety is in your hands."

The others stared at Ariel and Leon. They both stood calmly as if the situation was normal. Leon looked back and every one and coughed, "Come on guys we have to cultivate."

He then found a spot to sit down and cultivate at. Ariel found a spot close to him and sat down. She also closed her eyes and looked to be cultivating. She wasn't cultivating rather she was studying the Blood God's art's array of runes in her body. Leon had already reached the third level of the art. It had 3001 runes in it.

Ariel studied the runes and liked and uses them to help her understand that Law of Blood. She always had a minor understanding in the law but with the runes she could delve in deeper and understand it to a higher level.

Leon sat next to her and cultivated the Flame Devour art again. He decided to form the rune again.

Everyone else had already summoned a beast and were cultivating. Leon was the only one without a beast. Oren was also sitting down and cultivating so he didn't say anything to Leon.

Leon summoned the Chimera disguised as that dreamfire tiger and let it use the Flame Devour rune. He sat down and sped up his cultivation.

By the third day he was ready to form The rune. But Leon didn't form it, he started incorporating all kinds of other arts into it. He even incorporated the little knowledge of the Samsara of the Golden Flame into it.

Leon understood his mistake from last time. He would this time be extra careful, If it had a chance if being anything else he would crush it.

By the ninth day Leon formed a circle with his hand and formed a rune. It was white fiery rune. The rune read Allfire Devour. Leon smiled while looking at it.

The Chimera also looked at it and could tell it was special. Leon took the rune and stamped it on his chest. The rune most likely gave the ability to devour all types of Fire. Leon and thought of forming it to increase his defense against fire abilities. It was something he had thought of doing after playing around with Phoenix. He would be easily damaged by the Fire.

Although the Allfire Devour rune wouldn't increase his defense directly it would let him absorb all fires so he wouldn't be as hurt. It would help cultivate as well, as the fire energy would be stored in his body and slowly absorbed.

Leon then used the Allfire Devour rune on the last day. Nothing had gone wrong in forming the rune. He was fine and stronger now.

The ten days had passed, Oren brought everyone out. "That's the last bit of training I needed to give you all. Now in around fifty days there will be a Gathering at the Rose Thorn City. All the participants of the three continental competition are invited. It is a good place to see the other competitors. Now you all are to train by yourself until the competition."

Oren paused and took out some tokens, "Use these to contact me at anytime. I have another task to do so I hope you will use it wisely."

"Finally, I hope that all of you will help each other grow, those tokens will also allow you to communicate with each other." Oren then summoned his beast and left.

The ten were a bit surprised being left in the middle of the forest. They all looked at each other wondering what everyone would be doing.

"We should split up and meet again at Rose Thorn City in fifty days," Leon said. "We should explore and understand our strength in this time."

The others looked at him curiously. Abigail looked at him and said, "Are you sure you aren't saying that just because you want to go alone."

Leon clicked his tongue seeing his plan had been figured out.

Albert Said his part, "Leon isn't entirely wrong, Let's split up into groups."

No one had anything to say to that. Odin, Jolene and Nate formed a group. Abigail, Flavia and Flint formed a group. Brandon, Albert and Wick formed a group. And then their was Leon standing with his 'sister'.

"Good now that we are all in groups I wish you the best of Luck. I hope we can all meet again much stronger then today. Remember a stronger foundation is better then a higher cultivation." Leon said and summoned the Griffin. He then jumped on and flew away.

Seeing Leon run away the three groups saint know what to say. All three had been thinking of asking him to join them. But Leon liked to explore alone.

The three groups said good bye to each other and then split into different directions.

Leon was making his way to the nearest town, it was called Green Leaf Town. He had seen it on that way here. The town was close, it took Leon a few minutes to fly to. He got of the Griffin and unsummoned it.

The town didn't have much to show but it did have an auction house. Leon went straight for it. He had money on him. On the trip from the Fire Continent Oren had given everyone ten million gold. It wasn't much but he could but some decent materials with it.

Leon walked in the auction house and went straight to the Showcase room. He looked through everything here and found what he wanted. It was Clear Blue Water. It was a pure energy type of water that was good for growing plants. In a continent where growing plants was everything this was a must. Leon bought ten bottles with a million gold at the buy out price. He then left for the Overlord Cherry Blossom Tree.

Leon summoned the Griffin outside the city then summoned the Dragon a little further away. He jumped on the Dragon and unsummoned the Griffin. Ariel was still following along the whole trip to the auction. She also jumped on the Dragon.

Leon had her come to him, "The dragon's going to use ghost walk to reach faster so sit tight."

Ariel nodded. The Dragon then disappeared and appeared tens of kilometers away. It continued to do this until they reached the Cherry Blossom Tree.

Leon summoned his beasts again and took out a bottle of Clear Blue Water to water the tree. As he did this, he observed the bud. It had grown into a size similar to a watermelon.

Leon sat next to the tree and used the water to form a runic formation. It was specifically for the flower to grow. It was a formation that focused the energy to one place.

Leon poured the Rest of the bottle into the formation. He then slowly emptied all ten bottles in it. The bud grew larger and larger. The branch of the tree also lowered as it couldn't hold the weight anymore.

The bud was now a meter in diameter. It had fallen down to a point that Leon could touch it just by reaching up.

Leon then unsummoned all the beasts other then Ariel, The Dragon and the Butterfly. And started making his way to train throughout the nature continent.
