Chapter 56 Mister Random

Suyi and Lucis visit Shuzan in his cave for some wisdom after what happened in the mansion. what happened was really strange and Lucis want to know what exactly he did to cause the event.

Shuzan mood instantly lifted when the green horn come to him for advice, he finally have his chances to show off being the proper elder like he should be.

Shuzan invite them in his study room quickly as he sit on his most luxurious mat then what Lucis and Suyi use.

Shuzan put his hand on Lucis arm and pour his energy and devine sense into him examining his energy.

In just a couple second, Shuzan pull back his hand and frown looking at Lucis.

"why there's 4 other cores in your body?" Shuzan said, he never seen or heard something like this in his whole life. Even the most notorious legendary character from distance past only have one core and that's is the common knowledge for cultivator.

"well.." Lucis look down and tried to think of the reason. When Shuzan asked him about it, he's now pretty sure that he's abnormal.

"what I'm more surprised is how are you even still alive with that additional core in your body?" Shuzan stroke his beard calmly but frown occasionally thinking how bizarre Lucis body are. The chaotic energy within him completely contained by another type energy. This logic completely confused him after comparing with all his knowledge.

"i feel fine though. There's nothing wrong when I use spell too." Lucis raise his hand. Fire, water, wind, black and white light ball like appear in top of his five fingers.

Shuzan froze in place looking at Lucis energy spell on top of his finger. A cold sweat falling on his forehead.

"what.. what is this element? What have you been cultivating this whole time?" He can feel the destruction and creation force from it.

"oh, this?" Lucis follow Shuzan gaze and landed on his black and white globe that look like a ball of mist.

"I called it light and dark force, part of my space power" Lucis wave his hand and a crack appear in the middle of the air like the space is being forcefully rip apart.

Suyi study Shuzan expression carefully and she realized that it's not that she too stupid and can't understand Lucis, but he's just abnormal. Lucis has shown her his power previously when he teaches her cultivating but the recent incident proved that Lucis actually not clear about his own power, even Shuzan, someone that look like a real immortal look surprised and clueless.

"ah!" Suyi suddenly shout as she just remember something.

Lucis was just about to brag about himself when Suyi suddenly interrupt him, Lucis frown and look at Suyi. Shuzan also shift his gaze at Suyi, expecting some answers.

"i just remember I have to attend the wedding. Please excuse me." Suyi said in a hurry then she left without giving Lucis and Shuzan a chance to speak. Lucis abnormality remind her that she more of a mortal than her then she remembered about mortal world.

Lucis and Shuzan look at each other confused then they shifted their gaze back at Suyi.

"brother, tell me what did you do to that child? In a week I didn't see her, her appearance suddenly look like a fairy, even her energy suddenly grown so powerful?"

Lucis look at Shuzan with a frown then he look down while rubbing his chin, he really wish he have beard like Shuzan, he look like a wise immortal with it.

"actually brother, this is the reason I came here to find you." Lucis wave his hand and a pot and two cups of tea appear and it's still hot apparently. Lucis then tell Shuzan the whole incident in his mansion including his amazingly profound incredible ultimate rare hair potion, according to him of course.

Shuzan expression was shocked, confused, incredulous and sometimes even angry. He start to question himself what he saw in Lucis previously that make him follow him back here, Lucis personality is so random that he just gave up trying to understand him.

Lucis suddenly stop talking and remember about the pig incident, he thought it would be funny if he could use it on Shuzan so he purposely skip the critical moment during testing subject part.

Shuzan completely misunderstood at Lucis suddenly stop talking, he wanted to ask him why but he thought it must be some of his personal top secret so he refrain from asking.

"well.. from what you said, I think your cultivating technique comes from western technique." Shuzan said as he pour himself some more tea. The tea from Lucis house actually taste really good.

"western? So I'm a magician then?" Lucis frown. He realized this from the beginning that the technique he use is a combination of eastern and western technique, but at the same time he also mix some of it from northern technique.

Shuzan fix his posture and take a sip of tea calmly before putting the cup back on the table then he stare at Lucis gently. He really look like a wise immortal when she act like this and this is exactly what he want.

"in the first place, the term of cultivator is what we only use here in the East. Cultivate or you can just say develope, either way different place use different term but at the end of the day, we're all the same. You could say that we're magician too. The south actually call us as shaman and sometimes warlock because of the demon clan, but the demon clan is calling themselves cultivator.. you decide." Shuzan smile and stroke his white beard.

Lucis didn't say anything and just look down with his own though.

"there's a different in how we train, the western focus on spell while we focus on body strength and energy control. The energy you show me earlier is something similar to what the western spell look like but.." Shuzan paused and frown. "to be honest, I don't recognize what kind of energy is that but the way you form it similar to those western bunch."

"is it? How?" the more Shuzan speak the More Lucis confused. All he know about western comes from novel or comic and it's all use vague information, he never personally saw western magician himself during his whole life in this world.

"im not that familiar with it myself, those two black and white ball of light you show me earlier, i think they're called something like devine light and darkness. Anyway, we don't use energy like that here, that thing can only be formed outside your body." Shuzan want to say more but he lost for a word on how to explain to Lucis, Lucis lack too many common sense. (and me too)

"look at this for example." Shuzan raise his hand and it turned orange and a flame appear like it's burning his hand.

"this is eastern spell." as Shuzan said it, he wave his hand and the flame flow out of his hand and landed on the ground shattering the stone floor.

"now for western style." Shuzan raise his hand again and the flame appear again but this time, his hand doesn't change color. The flame envelope his hand for a short time but it's not actually touching him, then it flew away and landed on the ground.

Lucis frown even more than before, he doesn't understand anything at all. To be honest, he's actually impressed at Shuzan flame hand earlier and that's all where he put his attention.

When Shuzan saw the confused look in Lucis head, he quickly pinch his forehead. He doesn't really know how to explain it, in fact, he doesn't actually really know about the western way of using energy either.

"its like this, their spell forming outside while we form it inside our body." Shuzan said but he's pretty sure that the western way of harnessing world energy actually the same as the eastern technique and their spell is pretty similar. He even remember back then when he saw western magician turn their body like a lava.

"ah!" Lucis slap his thigh. He finally know what Shuzan talk about. The black and white ball is indeed can't be form in his body. Similar to his dimensions magic, it's always around him and not within him but the energy supplying this form of power can be store within his body. He have the space energy inside him and whenever he wanted to bend the space, he only need to pour the energy the way how the the spell invoked. In his case, it's almost automatically activate as soon as he pour his energy.

After Lucis brag proudly, he completely forgot to ask Shuzan about the incident between him and Suyi. Both Lucis and Shuzan began their little bragging contest wasting time for no reason.
