The training and Evolution

Anastasius who now was sitting in front of the dragon named Manus. "Sir I now had processed what happened here. Can you tell me what will we do here in the Glebe?" Anastasius asked as he now completely accepted his current predicaments. The Dragon now looked at him and stood up using his four legs. "Well boy, it seems you now understand my majesty," Manus said as he highly flapped its wings and this caused a small breeze to hit Anastasius's face. "Now boy since you had now finally synchronized with my Gene. You must now train to accustomed your mind to the change in your body." Manus said as it lightly touched Anastasius's forehead with its longest claws. A glint of light suddenly appeared before Anastasius's eyes and blinded him.

When Anastasius opened his eyes what appeared in front of him is bizarre. The place is full of stars and galaxies revolving around him. "What is this place?! Where am I again?!" Anastasius anxiously shouted as he is now clearly weirded out on what happening. "Don't fret boy this is your body. This is a place you'll frequently visit to improve your body." Anastasius suddenly heard Manus's voice but can't see him one bit. "I'm not here child I can only transcend my voice to you because of our blood bond. Now boy focus on your body, look at what is happening to your body." Manus once again instructed Anastasius as there was now an uncanny lookalike of himself in front of him. What Anastasius saw amazed him in this body he what he is that his muscles, blood, and bones suddenly turned transparent and what left of him is his entire veins. "Look at your veins boy can you tell me what is happening," Manus asked as now Anastasius looked once again and what he saw is that is a liquid-like energy substance was flowing inside his veins aside from his own blood. The energy was colored the same as Manus scales and it was periodically switching to a colorless phase where if you don't look closely enough you will completely just think it's a hallucination. "Woah what is that?" Anastasius asked as he is completely curious and alarmed that is an unknown substance is flowing inside of him.

"Don't worry boy that is just the results of our bond not only my Gene strengthened your body it has also given you my power. That means you can also shapeshift to any animal you can get the Gene of and you can also mirror its skill." Manus calmed and explained to Anastasius. "What is exactly is your power, sir. What I mean by that is how can I exactly do it because you're a dragon while I'm human." Anastasius once again asked as he was now pulled out from inside his body and now he faced Manus again. "Well Boy, that is why we are here. And why I'm here my goal is to teach you everything I have and be your partner. Because this is also one of the powers of Genes like mine." Manus said as he now suddenly change once again. There was a bright light engulfed the area. "Now boy ill change my body so that we can converse more intimately," Manus said but Anastasius is in awe at what he saw. The former big and ferocious dragon was now replaced by a handsome-looking middle-aged man who has black hair and purple robes. This Manus has a presence akin to a king. "Now boy I will show you the skill you will definitely use for your endeavors," Manus said

After Manus said that he immediately pulled up his arm and showed it to Anastasius. "Look very closely ok study the energy flow." Manus reminded as Anastasius stared very intently at the human form of Manus. What happened is purple and black energy started to ooze out of Manus's arm and in just a brief moment it was completely covered with the energy. "Now when you have finally done this stage of gathering your energy to a single point the next step is to visualize and guide the energy to let it transform your arm," Manus instructed as now Manus his arm is not just covered by a blob of energy but it is now covered by the a more concrete image similar to the arm of the Draco they encountered earlier. "See this energy serves as a vessel so that you can change form. But this is not all if you manage to reach the complete mastery of this skill you will not only look like the creature even other beings will identify you as that creature." Manus said as he now let his whole body be covered with the energy. And he once again transformed, this transformation of Manus was completely different from the first one. Because not just his arm was changed but all of his body. Anastasius is now currently looking at a manus covered with the energy but it was acting like armor with scales as the surface and what eye-catching is the wings on Manus back. When Anastasius looked at Manus differently he really looked like a humanoid Draco.

"Now boy this is the second stage of the transformation. This is not just transforming one part of your body but now you have to try to syenergize the energy to every part of your body to copy a creature." Manus said as he now called off the energy gathering from his body and dispersed it. "Sir how will I accomplish that kind of power. when I currently still do not know how to use my energy." Anastasius reasoned with Manus because Anastasius is clearly right how can he just learn this when he just got the Gene a few hours ago. "As I said boy this Glebe of yours do not follow the same time as the outside world does 1 year here is just seconds outside. This will give you an appropriate time to hone and practice your skills. Because I don't want my host as someone can be trialed by others." Manus said as if looking down on every creature aside from his offsprings the Dragorians.

"But boy let us not waste time as I have many things to teach you. First I want you to seat a cross-legged formation and feel my energy flowing into your body," Manus instructed as he waved his arms and suddenly a mysterious force pulled Anastasius in a cross-sitting formation in the ground. Now Anastasius quickly followed Manu's order and started to return to space where he saw the projection of his body and he meditated there. 'Come on Sir Manus told you to control the energy and let it flow.' He thought to himself and started to visualize every single bit of energy flowing into his body. What happened is that in the projection of Anastasius' body you can now see the energy stopped cycling around his body and was now trying to flow towards his arm. "ARGHH!" Anastasius grunted because as soon he started to stop the flow of the energy cycle he felt a setback that exploded from his body. "Don't stop the cycle of energy just let it naturally flow towards the arm but also control it to continue the cycle. Because that energy now also served as your lifeline. If you are out of energy you can die." Manus said as he now touched Anastasius's forehead to communicate with him. Anastasius nodded while biting his lips to endure the pain from the setback he received earlier. 'Okay focus you need the cycle to continue but also give way for a new path flow' He reminded himself as now the energy flowing from his body now started to slow down the cycle as it now focuses on a single part of the arm which is his pointed finger. This made Anastasius smile and he opened his fingers and saw that his finger is now covered with the same energy as Manus. but what difference is that it is his pointer finger only and the energy is not solid is like a fire slowly dissolving in the air.

"This boy is actually got talent. In Dragoria even the best nobels there will take a day to master this technique but not only he is human but he got the concept correct in just minutes, It seems I will be having fun training this child." Manus said to himself as he saw that Anastasius was waving around his energy-infused finger trying to see if he can zap out energy from his fingers. "Now boy relax not only you are using energy there but remember that you are only in the Early stage of Xiantian which means you will not have enough energy to keep that going for a long time" Manus warned but what happened coincidentally is that after Manus said that Anastasius fell onto the ground passing out.
