Master ikke looked in shock as the young man died. It was a shocking sight a foundation realm had killed a soul formation cultivator so easily. Anyone above the golden core realm could use soul arts and this was what made them true powerhouses. If someone did not have a special soul physique or naturally strong soul then one attack was all it took to kill them.
While he defended from the soul clone he saw the scene when the young man used a soul attack on Odin. He was sure Odin would die but he took it head on and was fine he even sent out his own soul attack or more like the young man's soul attack.
He was sure odin wasn't even a nascent soul cultivator much less a soul formation one so how did he do it? He assumed it was that energy absorption art he used. he could tell that Odin hadn't used his full power as his soul was near Shattering but after he stopped his art his soul was healing incredibly fast.
He guessed it would heal in an hour he felt greedy anyone would want a technique that not only stole someone's cultivation but healed the soul very quickly. but he knew Odin's affiliation he would be insane to even covet something like that.
But the other shocking thing was what the young man said about regression. he knew of the concept he had read many biographies of people that had claimed they regressed but he didn't believe it. naturally, no one would believe that he thought it was an excuse to hide their talents that allowed them to rise to the top.
But the aura the young man gave of a fallen immortal, the way he knew Odin, and how his body was naturally young and not deaged by cultivation. Though maybe it was like those other that made an excuse for their talent he had made his mind to study regression.
Maybe it was true and he would like to use it bring his experience and knowledge back to when he was a child. would he not become the strongest if he learned how to harness this power.
"It seems you are interested in regression ill tell you now young man it's a fool's errand you don't even know about time and space yet wish to go back in time with your experiences." master ikke was brought out of his thought by Odin's mocking voice.
He turned to look at Odin and felt the aura of an ancient deity but it faded quickly but he knew this young man was not what he seemed to be.
"I would like to learn under you would you help me?" master ikke said a he bowed deeply towards Odin.
"I can teach anything I can even give you the truth of reality but everything has a price how much can you pay child?" Odin said as he cleaned the sword with a piece of cloth.
"I have lots of wealth and many relics if you can help me I will give them to you." master ikke said.
"Hmm I don't want money but I do need it so ill take it but I want a lab that's what I want give me the best lab you can and ill teach you all you wish to know." Odin said a he started to walk away.
"Meet me at leaf apartments room 73 when you have it."
'Status open.' Odin mentally opened the system he had turned off notification before the right so he wouldn't be distracted and wanted to see his gains.

'Heh I have a physique and it's a slayer one not bad.' Odin thought as he walked back to the city he soon lined but for his grand reward which would probably be cash.
"Kid have you thought of joining the Army?" a loud voice boomed behind Odin.
"I currently hold no thought of joining the army uhh sir Gabriel." Odin said as he looked at the major general Gabriel.
"I see we could use a strong person like you you'd easily rise up the ranks and be a fine soldier." Gabriel said as he patted odins shoulder and walked away. as much as he wanted Odin he couldn't force it he knew the more he pushed the more he'd drive him away.
After an hour Odin returned home with a hundred thousand dollar cheque. Odin didn't care about the money but he knew it was necessary for his growth. he might take up his old job of cleaning for the rich it paid well and who didn't like watching the life of someone fade through the scope.
Odin soon fell asleep taking his first actual rest in a year.
•••
The rest was short but Odin enjoyed his sleep. He showered and went to the bank to cash his cheque. Naturally, it took a while to make sure the cheque was real but soon Odin had an extra 100 grand in the bank and went shopping.
He had called the shop and asked for a break which the old couple agreed to so Odin was free for the day. He wandered around and entered a gun store he looked around and he bought a lever-action shotgun for 470 dollars he also bought a handgun for 500 dollars.
Naturally he would need a weapons permit but for some reason most shops he had been to were very nice to him. He assumed it was because of his deeds but he also thought of the general as even if he did help would someone still give him weapons without a permit?
Or maybe this store didn't care and he was overthinking but sometimes overthinking helped.
Odin soon left and found a dealership and bought a motorcycle. He could have bought a car but he wanted to make this bike for his forest adventures. He soon rode back home and placed the two gun cases on the table and opened them.
He took the handgun and took another look at the gun. The pistol looked like a SIG Sauer P320 the only difference was this wasn't earth and this was called a T-20 service. He placed down the pistol and took the shotgun the lever-action shotgun looked like a PW87 Lever-Action 12 Gauge shotgun.
Odin played with the lever for a bit before he opened up the system.

"How is that going to work?" Odin thought as he looked at the last option.
Odin clicked on the first upgrade and like the falcata, it was covered in blinding light. Soon the shotgun returned to normal and Odin inspected it. compared to the normal silver components it was now black with golden runes around it. The bore was enlarged and the trigger required more strength to sure it in his opinion it was too heavy but he noticed that the gun was absorbing his energy.
Binding it to himself he realized the gun was talking his energy and forming it into a deadly explosive round. Odin opened the system and looked at the update display.
