Chapter 18
Another week and a half out of five thousand went by in the blink of an eye. Work started early and lasted until the evening, then practicing archery techniques until he was sufficiently tired to sleep, all interspersed with meals and occasional lectures. Anton learned quite a bit, including how to properly balance his environment while cultivating. It wasnt as important as having abundant natural energy around, but it was still a factor. That included taking care of his mental state. Anton wasnt sure if his mind was exactly serene with constant thoughts of revenge, but what was he going to do about it? Focus was necessary to overcome it.
The most useful after the tips Vincent gave for cultivation was sparring practice. He was still a beginner in cultivation, so when he found himself struggling with unarmed combat he didnt feel bad. He had gotten in a few scraps in his days, but had no formal training. His muscles were decently strong, but the rest of his body just wasnt up to par. All of the others seemed to have begun lessons before him as well, but Anton didnt like making excuses. He might only rarely need to fight unarmed, but he should at least put in the effort to cover the basics.
The anticipated lecture with Elder Kseniya arrived in due time. When Anton arrived at the training field only to find it sparsely attended by merely a dozen others, he asked one of the nearest disciples, Is this the right place for Elder Kseniyas lecture?nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
The young woman nearest to him shrugged, Lectures have words. But this is the place.
Its surprisingly empty.
Elder Kseniya is the best archer in the Order, The young woman looked around before finally whispering, ...but shes not the best teacher.
Anton nodded. That often tended to be the case. Eccentric masters of one thing or another often had trouble communicating. It was certainly not impossible to be a skilled teacher and a master of something, but the skills didnt necessarily go together. Still, he might be able to learn something.
He almost didnt notice when she showed up. Anton had been conditioned into the idea that elders would look younger than they were, so when a truly ancient woman with baggy skin and thin limbs stood in front of them, he almost didnt think it was her. However, as he sensed her energy he knew it had to be her. He couldnt sense exactly, but she was at a great number of stars. Perhaps fifty or more? That would place her in the final tier of cultivation, the stage that was referred to as Galaxy Construction in the Ninety-Nine Stars method.
As Catarina pushed herself to the edge, Anton sensed a sudden boost of energy from her. It didnt feel like a danger, and indeed it only took a moment for the energy to settle down and come under her control. A short time later, the scene settled down and Anton knew she had reached the fifth star. Since it wouldnt be a problem to interrupt her anymore, Anton was about to go back to training archery. However, she stepped out of her gate and he was curious where she was going to go. Spying on his neighbors wasnt proper but he would have had to intentionally ignore her to not know where she was. Besides, she was coming towards his gate.
A moment later, she knocked. ...Anton?
He made his way over to the gate and opened it. Catarina, come on in, he gestured.
She shook her head. Not necessary. Here. She held out her hand, and Anton instinctively reached out to take what she dropped. A small round pellet.
She was halfway turned around when Anton called after her. Wait! Isnt this your last tempering pill? Anton was quite certain that she had just used one.
No. I have one more left.
He still didnt let her leave, Why give it to me?
... For the help. Before. Save it for breaking through to sixth star.
Now that hed gotten her to admit why, he wasnt going to refuse. He sensed she was telling the truth about having another. It seemed likely she hadnt actually used one for the fourth star. I will graciously accept, Anton said as she was already stepping out of sight back towards her dwelling. He slowly closed the gate behind her and smiled. He would save the pill for a breakthrough. Though if she needed it before he used it, he would gladly give it to her. Better to foster someone younger who had their whole life ahead of them rather than an old man.
