Chapter 14 - Battle arts and Soul Fields

After entering the hover car, Seth immediately got lost in his thoughts, it was time he processed the information he gained from his ordeal.

Apart from the cultivation arts he acquired, he also gleaned the truth of the ancient past of humans and from what he saw and experienced, he had reasons to believe that they were far stronger than the present-day humans.

This posed the question of how humans lost their ancient heritage.

One could argue that it was because of the asteroid calamity, that caused humans to regress to this stage.

But from history, it was said that humans only depended on technology during the era before the calamity.

Though it could be said that history was manipulated and there were truly powerful beings that roamed the planet during that time, from the feats he saw that mysterious man pull, he was sure that if such beings roamed the earth at that period then the asteroid's collision wouldn't have posed so much of a threat.

Speaking of the mysterious man. The man was called a transcendent being by the system, this picked his curiosity, then he asked mentally 'System between the transcendent and the lunarian who is stronger?'

Just as he then posed the question his seed buzzed in response, Then an interface popped up in his view as the system replied….

[Host has to be aware that a transcendent being is a creature that has broken from the shackles of the laws of the world, So no. the lunarian would barely last a minute in combat…..]

[The reason why could survive a confrontation with such a being was because he had no desire to kill you]

Shock flashed within Seth's eyes, so even a creature that could easily defeat his mother was nothing before that man? His eyes blazed with an intense conviction and a hunger was set ablaze within him, gazing at an icon at the corner of his vision his mouth watered, he really wanted to start this Cultivation of a thing.

Right after the awakening of the system there where a series of icons that now floated at the corner of his vision. And they were as goes.

[Attributes/abilities]

[Virtual Library]

[System Features]

Mainly seeing the names of the three icons Seth could already guess their functions.

Then he was just about to focus on the virtual library to take a glimpse of all the cultivation manuals scanned by the system when a voice pulled him out of his attempt…..

"I see you've formed your soul core, what ability did you get?" his uncle asked.

He was just about to reply when his seed buzzed and a notification popped up.

[The host should not Disclose his abilities and the existence of the system until the host is strong enough to face the repercussions]

A perplexing statement made by the system, what does disclosing his ability have to do with anything? Or could it be possible that there are people on the hunt for this Cameraman's System, thinking about it, it made sense this system had helped him in various ways and bestowed him some really broken abilities.

So it made sense that if someone knew about the system, they would go through any means to acquire it, and if they discovered that it was here dwelling within a soul of a mere sixteen-year-old C-class irregular? He shivered at the thought.

"I just acquired one stealth ability, it's nothing combat-related" Seth replied to his uncle feigning disappointment.

Kendrick frowned slightly and shook his head, "Don't worry son I'm sure your next ability would be something better" he consoled.

Hesitating he gazed at Seth seeing his disappointed look his heart softened 'poor boy' then he started "I would divulge an information to you now and no one must know I told you neither can you tell anybody"

Looking at his uncle with interest Seth nodded vigorously making a mouth-zipping expression.

Seeing this Kendrick chuckled faintly then he asked "Have you ever heard of the two words Battle arts and soul fields?"

"battle arts and soul fields" Seth muttered under his breath "no I haven't"

Nodding Kendrick continued "These two things are classified information of humanity, you have to accomplish merits as an enforcer before you can access this information"

Hearing this Seth's ears perked up he now understood how highly classified the information his uncle was divulging was.

"you must have noticed the crimson flare that your mother emitted during her battle with the lunarian. That wasn't an ability it was a battle art used to enhance combat prowess she acquired one during our expedition to the soul fields."

Seth's eyes widened in shock.

"Battle arts are techniques that allow one to use soul essence in a more versatile way, actually using soul essence just to activate your abilities is a very wasteful and primitive use of soul essence."

"with these battle arts, one could manipulate soul essence to accomplish various results, such as physical enhancement, ability boosting and many more. Even I myself have a battle art"

"as for soul fields, these are the places impacts of the asteroids that once rained calamity over the earth, as for these asteroids they have a secret behind them they aren't just regular asteroids they are the remains of an ancient civilization"

"w-what?" Seth stammered in shock, the information on battle arts was shocking enough, but the information on soul fields.....

"Why did they crash into our planet?" he immediately asked.

Shaking his head Kendrick replied, "That we don't know, all we could discern is that they were also humans but and they originated from Earth at one point in time."

Seth's mind reeled in shock, as if the cultivation era wasn't enough now he was hearing that past humans once departed from the planet?

Even with countless years of evolution in technology, present humans could barely go to the moon and back, but these ancient humans left Earth and even built a whole civilization in space.

'how deep could the history of the human race be?' Seth wondered, and as though in reply hi seed buzzed followed by a notification.

[Host shouldn't underestimate the Human race, the humans are the embodiment of destruction.]

[a destruction so extreme that it births creation, they are the most spiritual of all races the sovereigns of war and evolution....]
