Preparing For Battle - Shopping Spree
Vihaan was freaking out. He was thinking about all the possible way to finish the challenge. He can leave Dia here and go complete the challenge but how can he leave her unguarded. Her tamed hound is also not in any condition to battle, in case anything happened.

Just few moments ago he didn't know how to use any weapon but now he knew which be used when attacking, which muscle should be used to stab, which muscle should be used to slash both when using a Sabre and a Dagger.

Vihaan : / Master, The talismans are powerful enough to block something form Level 200. So isn't waste to use it on level 10 Monsters /
Master : [ Good question. It says damage but not how much it can damage. If you want to damage a Level 200 monster you have to have the Supply it with the amount required. ]
Master : [ But But But. Let me tell my little disciple a small truth. It is impossible for level 30 to damage or to provide ether required to damage a level 200 monster because there is level suppression form the system which nullifies the attack from the lower levels. ]
Master : [ You are different because if you see in terms of cultivation. It is just a Body Refinement Stage - 9. So Its totally possible for you to battle it or even kill it. If your level of combat is high enough. There are certain exceptions but I will tell about those later. Too much knowledge without actually usage is not good for you. ]

Go to search and search for information about them . Pay and learn. You are having easy since I am explaining everything to you. Now go learn how the world works. Then you will know much your master thinks through to buy all these things. ]
Vihaan knew he fucked up. He had to do what his master says there is no other way.
Vihaan : / Yes /
[ 7,200 EEC Deducted. Balance : 973 EEC ]
Vihaan was only left with a pitiful amount of EEC from his initial 315k EEC. He still didn't know how much the information will cost but definitely not cheap.
Vihaan went to check for the information. He got to know that the violet fur fox was a rare species living in the Zise Universe and is very hard to come by. The fox itself is an Elite Tier monster. Same for the robe. It was also made from Black cotton a Elite Tier Plant. He felt he had actually paid less. He understood his master's intentions. He vowed never to ask these kind of question anymore.
Vihaan used the search again to learn how to use the Warrior Monk robes. It was fairly easy. He learned that these robes were actually used by shaolin monks for training. He got hang of it in few seconds. He removed and wore the thong and the full back pant with black shoe and sock with a black leather running around from his leg till the knee in a cross cross manner from the inventory. He never felt rich like this before wearing such expensive normal clothes. His master strictly asked him not wear top but didn't tell the reason.
That didn't stop there. he still had some EEC even after asking three information for 150 EEC. His master asked him to buy 3 Smokescreen Talismans for 150 EEC. It came to 900 EEC after the effect of his title he still had to pay 810 EEC.
[ Balance : 163 EEC ]
Vihaan was finally happy when his master said let the remaining EEC be there. It can be used to activate talismans. One EEC was worth more than 1000 EP. He was shocked by this information. His body has a limit of 800 EP at present with recovery rate of 100 EP per second if he was killing or in battle but normally it is only 5 EP per sec which is ridiculous high if compared with any other being of the same level. So basically he had 163,800 EP at his disposal.
Vihaan was taught by his master how to channel the Talisman and absorb the energy from the EEC. This was the first time he had a EEC in his hand. It was in a shape of white colourless uncut diamond. It was very pretty.
Vihaan got blanket to put on Dia who was sleeping in a very cute manner on the bed. It might seem like a lot of time has gone through but only 8 minutes has gone by till now. After tucking her to sleep Vihaan moved very quickly to the yard to see the Hound.
Vihaan reached the yard. He saw the hound lying in ground. He moved closer to it. It showed intelligence.
Vihaan : / I know you can understand me. You should know I took Dia as my wife with your Spirit communication. I m sorry that I hurt you. This should heal you up to full and should help you purify your body. Get well soon and take care of her. I Have go to kill some monsters so keep Dia safe she is very vulnerable. when I return I will help you mutate. You can protect Dia well then. /
As Vihaan was spoke he took the Healing pills. With a single though a sealed white porcelain appeared in his hands. He opened it. A thick aroma of medical herbs came out of it. He took one pill and have to Tia. Its eyes burned with fervour. It knew that it was something good. It directly ate it without hesitation. Within in few seconds its body healed. Its body changed rapidly and started to glow.
Vihaan knew Tia was healed so he didn't stand there. With a thought a Jade Armour talisman appeared in his hands. he slapped it on his chest. A Faint Armour outline appeared on him. He used 500 EP to get the talisman to activate. He didn't stop there. A Jet black Kukri appeared on his right hand, Three EEC appeared between his left hand fingers and he was holding a Fireball talisman with his thumb and index finger.
Vihaan : / Let the games begin. I have to kill 604 monsters in 19 minutes to Ace the challenge but lets see how many I can kill without being my armour talisman running out. One hour time or 1000 attacks to break it. I love a little challenge /
