Chapter 458: Advanced Mastery Level!
Khal, whose appearance and aura were completely different from the time when he was still back in the Second Realm lowered his arms holding the scroll and closed his eyes.
"Sigh..."
Black smoke in an insane amount oozed from Khal’s mouth and nostrils the very moment he sighed, filling almost the entirety of the small wooden building to the brim!
[Six months to reach the Initial Mastery Level, one more year to achieve Intermediate Mastery Level, and three more years to gain Advanced level of mastery on a path which so far no one was able to study more than 10%, much less master. Yet, here you are, already having more than 50% knowledge!]
The black smoke kept rising from Khal’s mouth and nose as he exhaled and it only stopped flowing out when one full minute has finally passed in time.
Slowly opening his eyelids, Khal watched with a calm but extremely sharp gaze as the black smoke that a moment ago was within his body started to disperse into thin air, and couldn’t help but smile scarcely.
However, the very instant his mouth curved upward to form a small smile, his face, charm, and aura changed so much that it was almost certain that anyone who saw it for the first time would be dazed!
In the past, Khal was not considered ugly at all but he was not insanely handsome either. Even in Darla’s eyes, who showed small hints of interest toward Khal thought he was just a bit handsome and only because of his insane strength why he was charming to the eye.
As for those individuals from the royal families from any race, he definitely would not be able to qualify to hold a candle next to them much less get the chance to be compared with them!
However, if Darla or anyone else would be able to see Khal now, they would definitely think otherwise.
His eyes looked like two pieces of emerald that at the same time felt like two sharp blades that could cut through anything with a single gaze. His skin became extremely soft but at the same time firm. His figure that now was filled with a huge amount of strength and was more toned than before. And his long hair that not only was as black as the feathers of a raven but even was silk-smooth that even females would get jealous!
Everything about Khal while not as perfect as Hale was handsome enough that not even those royal beings with perfect genes in the Fourth Realm could compete with him!
[I say, I would not be surprised to see all the ladies will drool over you once we reach the Fourth Realm.]
"You are just exaggerating. I have seen way more attractive individuals in my life." Khal shook his head helplessly as he examined his figure in a small mirror he has summoned into his hands from his spatial ring.
[What? Now you will act like a saint or what? This unpretentious behavior does not suit you at all.]
"Then you want me to act arrogant once again?" Khal raised a brow as he put the mirror away before saying, "Though, I did not become a Saint nor do I plan to play the role of the Blessed Child at all. What I said was the truth and, in fact, you have already seen that individual too."
Of course, that individual that Khal was talking about was none other than Hale, one who reached such a level where his whole existence was equal to perfection!
[Yeah, but still... The way you speak is weird for me.]
"I don’t know what you..." Khal started to speak nonchalantly but soon he stopped and frowned scarcely.
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I speak rather calmly... way too calmly."
[Perhaps this is the result of gaining some knowledge and a small amount of control over your soul?]
"Maybe." Khal nodded without any change on his face and said, "It seems now that I have achieved Advanced Mastery Level in the Divine Soul not only am I capable of turning some of my soul into strength but even I have better control over my body and emotions."
And to see if he was right, Khal thought about the Ourvi Family and his parents from his past lives, and to his surprise, except for nonchalance, he felt nothing despite knowing that in the past whenever he thought about them his mood either turned sour or he secretly became angry!
[Furthermore, your Soul World became firmer and the things you can create can be way more complex than ever before!]
"Un." Khal nodded and slowly seeped his consciousness into his Soul World where he could see how in the middle of a vast forest a great mansion stood firmly with the real Khal’s figure visible chopping woods outside.
And just like his, the real Khal’s appearance changed too, having the identical look to his in real life!
"This is interesting. Haha, this is really interesting indeed! That mortal really is going to master the Divine Soul and seemingly without any difficulties!" Daire laughed as he swung his small legs from joy, his heels occasionally hitting the front of the silver throne he was sitting on.
"To think a mortal is capable of learning the mysteries of that scroll and gain mastery over it... Truly fascinating." the Lord of the First Realm nodded with agreement, his usual indifferent voice this time sounding a little impressed.
Selenia, Nefia, and Iara, the Lords of the Fourth, Second, and Third Realm remained silent and didn’t say a word while the muscular and arrogant Pilzrod just sneered and gulped a huge piece of porkchop down with a disgust flashing in his eyes.
"And what if he can master the Divine Soul Sutra? It is not like he will ever have the chance to become a Supreme Existence." after throwing the bone into the ocean for an unknown amount of time, Pilzrod sneered and used his sharp nail to pull out the meat that seemingly stuck between his teeth.
