Way of the Knights

---

A trace of enlightenment shone in the faces of his peers when they pondered about his words. Based on their personal experiences, they found out that he was right. So the colors only represent the sensitivity of one\'s soul to the surrounding energies and that\'s it.

"If that\'s the case then, should we focus on Body Path instead of Energy Path? We have Red grade results after all." Mark asked him.

"Well…" Raven smiled and said: "Why can\'t it be both?" Mark was stunned and so is the rest.

"Is it possible!?" Paul exclaimed, he couldn\'t help but to get his hopes up with his words.

Raven nodded in confirmation and said: "It is possible. Take Jubileus for example, she is an Energy Path expert as well as a Spirit Path expert. Though your cultivations speeds will slow down it will give tons of benefits instead. And for the record, I knew that you\'re going to ask that so the techniques I gave you are already suitable for both Body and Energy Path. You\'ll be able to see the other parts when you reach Soldier Realm."

A visible expression of excitement surfaced on both Paul and Mark\'s faces when they heard this. It is true that this brother of theirs knows them the best. Though they aren\'t able to see it yet, it doesn\'t change the fact that they will still be able to see it in the future, and based on how quick they are cultivating, they didn\'t have to wait that long. As for the Spirit Path? They didn\'t even need to ask about, they knew the concept of \'not biting more that what you can chew\'. These two paths are enough for them to reached greater heights that they didn\'t even dare to dream before.

"Now then, it\'s time for me to see your Spirit Entities so take out some crystals." Raven looked at the girls and saw them nod. They each took out Talent Measuring Crystals and injected their bloods in it. They waited for the results and when it showed up, Raven took a closer look. He first observed Luna\'s and as expected, nothing much changed for her and her Spirit Entity is still Jubileus. He then observed Ellen\'s and analyzed her results.

"If your parent knows what you Spirit Entity is then they would be extremely happy." Raven smiled mysteriously, making Ellen a bit confused, his clarification however, sent her heart into a frenzy. "It\'s the Vermillion Bird. The very entity that the your clan worships."

Ellen looked unflinchingly at Raven, she was having difficulties on processing the bomb that he dropped. No one could blame her though. As a descendant of the Vermillion Sky Clan she saw tons of records about this mythical beast. Her clan literally had an image of a soaring Vermillion Bird on their traditional clothings are even their hairs are colored red. How could she not feel any excitement when she finds out that she was acknowledge by the Vermillion Bird itself?

"I\'ll give you a cultivation technique later, let me finish with Anne\'s first." He smiled and nodded to Anne, she showed her crystal to him and he analyzed it as well. Then he found the answer.

"Your spirit entity is called Annarosa\'s Bow. If I\'m not wrong, then you inherited this from Matriarch Victoria. Also known as the \'Mistress of the Hunt\'. You should\'ve read some of her legends right?"

"Of course I did!" Anne exclaimed in a pitched voice, she then quickly realized that she lost her composure which made her blush, nevertheless her excitement didn\'t ceased as she explained: "Back in the day, she was the most fearsome archer that ever existed. One of her legends told that during the attack of a large scaled beast horde, she stood on top of the walls and unceasingly strummed her bow, raining arrows to demonic beasts and killing them in the process. It was said that she alone killed at least 1000 beasts in just an hour of ceaseless attack. What\'s more terrific was that none of her arrows missed or even struck humans. And that\'s only one of her legends. I could sit here all day and tell stories but I won\'t since we have better things to do."

Aside from Raven and Luna, the rest were impressed by her stories. They knew that she didn\'t have to lie about any of this since Raven would be the first one to admonish her, which basically confirmed that whatever she said was true.

"Okay. Since that\'s done, I\'ll pass cultivation techniques to you now." Raven lifted his hands and placed them on their foreheads.

To Ellen he gave her the [Vermillion Transformation Scripture], a technique that is divided into two parts. The Vermillion Flame Chapter and the Vermillion Spirit Chapter, signifying the dual cultivation for both energy and spirit. If she achieved success from this technique, then she would be able to produce flames that could even rival the sun\'s heat, she could also experience a Flame Bath Rebirth due to the Vermillion Soul Chapter.

For Anne, he gave her the [Soaring Feather Scripture], this technique is also divided into energy and spirit. Feather Flight Chapter allowed her to become a friend of the winds, which means that she could move with swift speeds and become highly attuned to it to the point where flying is just a simple task for her. As for the Soaring Spirit Chapter, it allows her to easily target a person and mark them without them knowing about it. If she reaches the later stages of this, she would be able to conjure an invisible arrow that homes and targets the sound, allowing a silent death.

After giving them their techniques, Raven then turned to Luna and smiled at her. She felt rather embarrassed about it but she accepted the technique anyway.

Despite her gullible and adorable disposition she is rather prideful deep down in her heart. Luna never felt that she was way above her peers because of her Blue grade results, instead she is even more pressured by it since there\'s too much expectations from this. But she never uttered any word of complaints or whatsoever and train as hard as she could, she even endured the torture of the hairpin all along. Now that Raven clarified everything and made his plans rather transparent to them, she was even more determined now to get stronger. Freed from her torture, she would now march towards greatness and prove to everyone that she isn\'t just some pushover just because she\'s a woman. She would definitely prove that old man wrong.

What Raven imparted to her was the [Scripture of Immortal Light], what she and the other\'s didn\'t know is that this technique is a Triple Cultivation Technique like Raven\'s [Prime Emperor\'s Scripture].

The technique he gave her was divided into: Ruler Chapter for Body, Virtue Chapter for Energy and the Seraphim Chapter for Spirit. She would become a total powerhouse if she cultivated these at the later stages.

Others might think that this is a little biased of a move for Raven, in truth this was more of a challenge to her instead of a favor. Dual Cultivation is already a hassle not to mention Triple Cultivation. But Raven knew her talents more that anyone, including Luna herself and he also knew that this won\'t really discourage her, in fact she would even be more determined instead.

The girls started arranging their new found memories in ther brains, the boys used this time to talk about random things while waiting for them to finish. Once they were done, they heaved a sigh and opened their eyes.

"How\'s it?" Raven smiled and asked.

"Good, the technique you gave opened many doors for me that I didn\'t knew existed." Ellen said emotionally. These weren\'t light words, Anne and Luna heavily agreed to this as well.

The techniques that he gave were extremely rare, it followed weird patters and circulation paths that they didn\'t even knew before, they tried following it and were surprised on just how they are able to feel their bodies react in a frenzy. Paul and Mark could agree to this as well, and the truth was what they saw was just a part of the whole technique. As long as they become stronger, the full versions will be unlocked in their brains and surely, that would even be more shocking to them.

Raven nodded his head and asked: "Do you guys have any experiences in handling a weapon?"

"I do." Ellen replied, "I was trained by my Dad and other cousins with a sword."

"I do have some experiences with Archery and basic hand to hand techniques." Anne replied.

"I have trained with sword and shield but what I learned was very miniscule since Grandpa Lee is always busy…" Luna sighed as she explained.

"Alright then." Raven nodded and said: "Follow me to the backyard, let me see how\'s your foundations."

Paul and Mark couldn\'t help but feel a little pity for the future fate of these girls when they heard his words.
