It wasn't logical to think this way, but for unknown reasons, Berry found his words to be trustworthy. Besides, she would see what he was claiming as a better manual than what she owned.
"Here," after almost half an hour, William finally stopped. He didn't only write over two pieces of paper but used a dozen to write detailed instructions for her. "This one is for your dragon spirit, and this is for your phoenix," he explained while giving her the papers.
To say she wasn't a bit interested at the moment was a lie. The moment he handed the papers, she literally jumped and grabbed them fast. Then she started to read through the papers which he pointed towards as the dragon spirit manual.
The training papers were really detailed. Not only did they contain drawings describing the body posture during training, but William even wrote down his own instructions about how to channel energy inside the body.
He even drew a simple sketch about lines and seven dots scattered along the body. He marked these as meridians and gates, making her recall what he earlier said.
But that wasn't the astonishing part about it. Any training manuscript would contain a basic incantation as the foundation for the training. When she just read through the incantation mentioned in the manual, she swore she felt her soul tremble faintly in response to it.
What did this imply?
Not to mention she never felt anything for long months and even beyond a year and half, her soul never reacted this way towards her family's treasured manual's incantation.
The mere thought about the reason behind this made her heart palpitate like never before.
Hope… At this moment she truly felt hope like she could touch and grab it for real!
"This…" yet the more she read through the other papers regarding her dragon spirit manual, the more she was astonished.
Any kid from a wealthy and powerful clan like hers would start training from a young age on many things. One of them was regarding how to read and assess manuals.
After all, the family treasured manual wasn't the only beneficial manual to the clan's spirit masters. There were training manuals out there in this world beyond one's imagination.
Each manual had its pros and cons. By using great manuals together, one could truly make up for the shortcomings of the rare ones, just like Berry's clan's treasured manual.
So one had to know how to, not only read, but also to assess any manual to determine its value. And right now, just from what she read, she could say there were many sophisticated concepts and practices behind the teachings in this manual.
To put it out simply, if this manual was considered second then she doubted any other manual would become first in this world according to her knowledge.
"This…" As she reached such a conclusion, she couldn't help but raise her head and pause in her words.
She didn't need to say anything. William knew she lacked a large amount of info regarding the real spirit world, but she could at least realise the value of this manuscript.
It was one of the famous and highly effective manuals in the true spirit world, the world beyond this one. Per his master's words, this manual was considered one of the top and legendary manuals that ever existed for fire natured spirits. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
Yes, it wasn't a manual solely directed towards dragons. After all, William was attentive to this point. Despite Berry having a dragon based soul at the moment, she also had a phoenix spirit.
One of the reasons that led to her current stagnation was the damage her family's useless manual did to her other spirit. Not to mention her two spirits were merging together.
So in the future she would end up with a totally different spirit than the dragon or phoenix. He didn't know what kind of spirit she would finally have, but it would definitely be related to fire.
After all, the common thing between dragons and phoenixes was their strong affinity with fire.
"Check the other one," William diverted her attention towards the other manual, "you shouldn't try and train your dragon spirit for now. Let's first focus on nourishing your phoenix spirit before doing anything else."
"... Ok…" like an obedient girl, she nodded. She wanted to ask more about the source he gained such a precious manual from, even ask how come someone who casually took out such a manual could be in such a lousy state.
William knew she wanted to speak about this, but he had no answer for such questions at this moment. His current situation might be best described as a loser, but he planned to change all of this in the near future.
So instead of struggling to explain, he simply diverted her attention away. But he never expected her to be more shocked when seeing the other manual.
That one was a pure phoenix spirit training manual. If William decided to make the first manual the one which would continue with her for her entire life, then the other manual was dedicated to solving the impending twin spirit problem.
It went without saying that out of Berry's twin spirits, one was acting rampant and the other was getting suppressed. If Berry trained only in the legendary fire manual, only her dragon spirit would benefit from it.
So, the other manual was meant to create a balance, to make the phoenix spirit stronger.
The moment Berry started to read through it, she first read the incantation written there. She was eager to feel that long missed feeling of stirring up her soul again. And when she did that, something huge happened.
"Sh*t!" William totally missed this point. He never thought that the long suppressed phoenix spirit would react in such a way just by reading the incantation.
Things happened so fast. The moment Berry read the incantation, a faint red light, might be described as pink colored light, emerged and took control over her body.
Her hair, her pair of eyes, and even her skin changed colour at this moment to become faint red.
The phoenix spirit reacted instantly to the incantation and started to absorb the spirit power from nature like crazy.
"Damn! What shall I do now?" In such an unexpected situation, William didn't know if he should laugh or cry. His master once told him that training didn't only depend on the manuals or the spirits, but the state one's spirit, mind, and heart was in.
