The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 906: Panicked Spirits



Profound Pearl of Life

As Vaan followed the instructions of the Divine Refining Life Art to gather and manipulate life energy, he discovered it shared many similarities with spirit energy.

It wasn't just the energies themselves but also the methods of circulating to refine them.

In other words, the Divine Refining Life Art was like a spirit energy cultivation method-or rather, it was a spirit energy cultivation method that had been designed to utilize life energy effectively.

Vaan couldn't help but wonder if all existing energy cultivation methods had branched out from the energy cultivation methods of the primordial era.

Although the Divine Refining Life Art's learning restriction wasn't limited to a specific race, it was undoubtedly most suitable to humans due to its similarities with spirit energy cultivation.

As such, Vaan discovered that he could refine life energy more effectively and efficiently through the existing pathways within his human body.

He didn't need to create a circulation route outside of his body since it matched the one in humans.

Thanks to his prior experience with the Everlasting Blood Mantra, cultivating the Divine Refining Life Art to the initial success stage was almost effortless.

The soft, pale particles of life energy were transformed into a brilliant spark of luminescent white light.

Vaan found it interesting to observe the molecular movements of the refined life energy. It seemed to contain the secrets and miracles of life.

It was the spark of civilization, the paint that gave color to the universe.

Ding!

<You have successfully cultivated the Divine Refining Life Art to the initial success stage>

<Your understanding of the Life Law has increased>

<Your comprehension of the Life Law has surpassed 1%>

<You have acquired the Authority of Life>

<Life Manipulation has been added to your skills>

<Your lifespan has increased by five hundred years>

...

Vaan was immediately surprised to see his lifespan increase by a substantial amount after cultivating the Divine Refining Life Art to the initial success stage.

Moreover, the comprehension of the Life Law was done so easily with just a brief look.

If he could observe the molecular movements of refined life energy at higher stages of mastery in the Divine Refining Life Art, his comprehension of the Life Law would likely improve even faster.

As such, Vaan wholeheartedly immersed himself in the cultivation of the Divine Refining Art Life.

While he was at it, he did not forget to release Topaz, Emerald, and Ruby out to play. He wouldn't selfishly monopolize the benefits of the Profound Pearl of Life and forget about his spirits.

Alas, although the three spirits were excited to come to play, it was short-lived before panic seeped into their hearts, especially Topaz and Emerald.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Kyu, kyuu!"

"Myu, myu, myuu!"

Topaz and Emerald cried in alarm.

The two poor souls found themselves floating in space helplessly. The more they tried to retain control of their movements by flailing their small limbs, the more helplessly they spun in space.

On the other hand, Ruby quickly learned to navigate through the unfamiliar space with ease after her initial panic.

It wasn't a difficult task for a spirit of fire.

Nevertheless, the universe inside the Profound Pearl of Life was unlike the void of space in other universes.

It was filled with life energy.

As such, trying to move in a region of highly concentrated life energy wasn't too different from trying to swim in a body of water.

Nevertheless, Topaz and Emerald weren't quick to adapt to the new environment.

Thus, they continued to flail their limbs wildly in an attempt to regain control of their bodies. Their worlds seemed to spin faster and faster, making them dizzy and disoriented.

The rapidly changing scenery made them suspect something was wrong with their vision.

"Fyu, fyu, fyuu," Ruby giggled as she watched Topaz and Emerald's helpless states.

She couldn't help but rejoice at how the tables have turned.

As the third contracted spirit of Vaan, Ruby was also considered the youngest of the three.

Since she was also stigmatized as the spirit of misfortune due to her constant bad luck back in the Land of Fire, she was timid and had low self-esteem.

As a result, she was easily bullied by Topaz, the big sister of the trio.

Now that she saw Topaz and Emerald struggling in the new environment, she felt like their positions had been reversed, making her the new big sister.

Ruby circled around Topaz and Emerald with a half-curious, half-amusing look as she watched the spectacle.

As long as the two of them calmed down, they would realize the situation was not as bad as they thought. In fact, the environment was very pleasant, comfortable, and free.

Topaz and Emerald's struggles were like that of a fish drowning because it couldn't swim.

Naturally, Ruby would find it amusing.

"Fyu, fyu, fyuu?" (Do you need help?)

"Kyu, kyu, kyuu!" (Yes! Please help me!)

"Fyu, fyuu, fufu." (But, I don't wanna?"

"Kyuu!!" (Screw you!)

Hearing Topaz shriek with indignation, Ruby chuckled gleefully before moving to Emerald.

However, Ruby didn't try to harass Emerald. In fact, she wanted to help her.

After all, unlike Topaz, who bullied her before, Emerald hadn't really done anything. On the contrary, Emerald was quite fearful of her.

Emerald was the most timid and gentle spirit in the group.

As such, Emerald's pitiful state easily awakened Ruby's compassion and sympathy. Unfortunately, she was also afraid of burning her again.

She could only offer vocal assistance.

"Fyuu, fyu, fyu, fufu!"

"My, myuu?"

Following Ruby's reassurance and calm instructions, Emerald eventually managed to stabilize her movements and learn how to maneuver in the unfamiliar environment.

However, Topaz also did the same after eavesdropping on them.

Ruby immediately had a bad feeling as she glanced at Topaz. The latter was taking baby steps

but surely approaching her.

More importantly, she did not look happy.

"fyu, fyu, fyuu?" (Can we talk this out, Big Sister? Violence is not the answer...)

"Kyu! Kyu, kyuu, kyu!" (No, it is the question, and the answer is always yes!)

"Fyu, fyuu!" (Ahh! Second Sister, save me!)

Ruby timidly fled from Topaz while the latter gave chase with a malicious smile that shortly

turned gloomy and depressed.

Topaz simply couldn't catch up to Ruby.
