Chapter 23

Jin: “Hello. My friend.”

It was none other than Diore.

Diore: “It has been a while Jinny. Has it been five years?.”

Jin: “Don’t call me that and yeah it has been a while since we met.”

Diore: “So how are the kids doing.”

Jin: “They are doing good. I am going to teach them the techniques which they are suited to.”

Diore: “Ok that’s good.”

Jin: “Why can’t we just kill the traitor? I even told Elijah about that person.”

Diore: “I don’t think it is time yet. If we kill the traitor now Padahu will just send another one, so we need to keep the traitor alive.”

Jin: “Fine.”

Diore: “Anyways I will be off.”

Jin: “ I think the kids would like to see you again.”

Diore: “You know It is not time to meet them again right.”

Jin: “Fine.”

Diore left the place as he disappeared into the darkness. Jin went back to others to check on their progress.

Jackson is the one showing the highest improvement and he is rapidly absorbing Qi.

Jin: “Ok guys now stop and rest for a while.”

Everyone stopped and they started to relax as trying to adjust to this new type of energy is a bit tiring.

Jin: “Ok now as you guys are settled enough to listen I am going to explain a proper way to make contracts with other creatures and how to dissolve one without causing much backlash to oneself.”

Elijah: “OK.”

Jin: “There are two types of contracts and they are permanent and temporary contracts. They can also be formed by consent or forcibly.”

Marcus: “Wait as per my knowledge contracts can only be formed by mutually agreeing.”

Jin: “Well you as you guys have the dark mana and the six of you are of Nephelic race you can do things like this but a forced one has a lot of restrictions.”

Marcus: “Oh OK.”

Jin: “Now to make a contract the first thing you need to do is to have the set of rules, terms, and agreements that are needed to be fulfilled.”

Ken: “Wow that’s a lot of process.”

Jin: “Yes but I will teach you so do not worry.”

5 Days later

There was an animal that looks like a lizard but in the size of a man but also body similar to a horse is running in the forests among the trees and it’s body is filled with wounds.

Ken: Uses a fire spell to attack the creature.

The creature howls in pain as it falls to the ground. It looks at Ken with fear in its eyes.

Ken: Keeps a hand on its head and says “Do not worry I will not kill. I just need to form a contact with you.”

This seemed to calm the beast a little bit but it was still wary of him, but the beast nodded its head to show it’s acceptance.

Ken made a contract with the beast. He chose this species as they run very fast and know the entire forest's layout.

After Ken, everyone else tried forming contracts with various beasts and they succeeded.

Jin: “Now since you all know how to form contracts, I will start your martial arts training and we will train all types of terrains.”

Everyone except Raphtalia: “Oh yeah!!!”

Jin: “Oh Raphtalia you can go to Joseph and others.”

Raphtalia: “Ok”

Jin: “We are going to use time chambers to speed up the training.”

Everyone nods their heads and Raphtalia heads toward the village where Joseph and the others are staying.

Jin: “Ok guys now let us begin the training.”

Jin immediately opened a portal and they all entered the portal looking forward to the training.

1 Month later in real-world time.

Everyone has exited the portal and is in a very ragged and exhausted state. They were clearly tired and in need of rest as they were about to go rest. Jin interrupted them.

Jin: “Wait, now with this all of you have officially completed the training and all of you are on the fifth stage of the Nascent realm. I am going to the Divine realm now and remember all my teachings and do well.”

Everyone except Jin: “Ok Jin we will never forget what you taught us and please do visit us sometimes.”

With this being said Jin left and everyone else started to go towards the village where Joseph and the others were staying.
