Lesson One

"I have what?" Luke was confused at first when the whale blurted out those words but when he thought about his spirit root it made sense to him.

"How can you have all 7 elements, I've never seen something like this before, well if you have all of the elements you can only bring them up to basic mastery, this isn't the worst either, it will make you extremely versatile, but at the same time your element can't be as strong as others."

"Wait if I can only get up to basic mastery in all of my elements why do I feel like my water element grows stronger?"

"It is most likely because of you being a water dragon since you are born with a talent for the water element, don't let this put you down though, remember every element has an element they are weak against, and you being able to lock down on their weakness no matter their element is a good ability, and in the future, if you are lucky enough you might be able to find a treasure that can bring your mastery up forcibly with no strings attached."

'I wonder if I can get one of those treasures from a danger zone?', Luke then began to beckon the whale, "Hey what is my first lesson gonna be? Will you teach me an ancient fish martial art or some secret element technique!"

"Hohoho, hold your horses, Luke, first I will teach you the correct way to use elements. The way you have been using the elements has been wrong the whole time you have been practicing. The way you have been doing it is purely using the qi in your body and transforming it into an element, which works but is extremely ineffective."

"Then how should I do it?"

"I'm getting there, if you want to master this technique with the elements though, you must explore it yourself, I will give you one hint though as your mentor, don't use only the qi in your body, but don't neglect it either."

Luke then was a bit surprised, 'You say your gonna teach me then just tell me to do it myself, what kind of teaching is this?!'

"Alright then Luke, I shall leave this cave, I will come back when you finish."

The whale then very slowly left the cave leaving Luke alone in the huge cave, allowing him to think about what he should do.

'So I need to learn a new way to do make my element powers occur...hmmm, this is harder than I thought, let's see the whale said that I shouldn't focus on only the power inside of me, so did he mean to focus on the qi outside of me? No, that should be impossible, how could I control the power that isn't inside of me...I got it! It makes sense now, how could my qi magically turn into element qi without me doing anything? It must be because I'm manually turning my qi into the element which makes my element usage very limited. Instead what if there is element qi around me? For example what if the water around me held what qi inside of it, or the ground below me had water qi in it. Of course, this wouldn't allow me to control it without me doing anything to the element qi, I have to add a little bit of my qi inside of the element qi and spread it so that I can control it better like my own body.'

After that intense brainstorming session Luke started to put his theory to the test first he took out a couple points of qi, then he cut off the qi from his body and implanted it into water qi around him, he then started to spread it around to the other water qi, he was able to spread it a little bit when he felt a sharp pain in his belly. After he felt the pain Luke knew something was wrong so he immediately stopped doing what he was doing and the water qi he had control over became normal again.

'What was that? I must have spread it too much, I guess I need to practice this more so I can get better at it.'

After that Luke started practicing more, he did the same thing as last time except for this time he spread it only a little bit, then he started to shape it into a very thin and small blade, then he pushed the blade with his qi then let it disconnect from his body and when it did he saw a blade of water moving very fast towards the wall, and when it hit the wall a very small cut was made on it.

"I must have the right idea since I was able to cut the wall, time to practice more!"

__________

About 30 minutes after the whale left the cave he was looking around the coral reef he had made, making sure no plants were stolen when he was gone when he felt something.

'What, he already figured it out?! It took me a couple of weeks before being able to even make a blade the size of the one he made, and I was in the advanced spirit realm! This little dragon is a monster...should I kill him?' When he thought about it more it felt like something was drawing him to attack him but he resisted in the end, 'No there is no point, who knows my life might even be saved by him one day, better to make a strong friend than make a strong enemy.'

The whale was gonna head back but he decided against it, he felt like Luke was going forward at a good pace and he didn't want to interrupt his train of thought and training session, since he had finished this early it was time to begin lesson 2.
