Although she was in a bad mood due to the current situation, Yale didn't mind too much because he was also in a bad mood due to what happened to Aiwai. At that moment, he only wanted to train, so he thought that spending some days training in silence would be good for both of them.
In those days Yale advanced to the 1-star Apprentice and mastered the Spiritual Sense on the Apprentice Rank completing the mission and obtaining a huge boost in his stats. However, the difference between the 1-star Apprentice and the 2-star Apprentice was huge, even with the huge boost he received from the sub-quest, Yale didn't advance.
The difficulty to advance increased in each Rank and although Yale's training speed improved a lot thanks to awakening the Time Bloodline and the Death Bloodline, he couldn't advance as fast as he wanted.
Yale checked his next sub-quest which provoked mixed feelings on him, he wanted to complete that condition even without a sub-quest, but he knew it wouldn't be quick.
"Reach the master stage in Swordsmanship. Reward: ??????"
Since he had reached the Apprentice Rank, his limit in training swordsmanship had increased, so it was possible for him to improve until reaching the master stage.
As for reaching the apprentice stage in other weapons, he wasn't too much interested although it turned easy after reaching the Apprentice Rank. However, he decided to reach it with Martial Arts as that was also something Aiwai taught him and with his talent plus his rank it would be easy.
Although Yale thought it would be easy, he didn't expect to need just half an hour to do it.
"Martial Arts Mastery: Apprentice Level 1. When battling directly, all stats increase by 0,1% ignoring all the restrictions. This Passive Skill can be leveled up battling."
Yale looked to Wyba who was also training on her own, she also reached the 1-star Apprentice Rank, but her progress was still slower than Yale who had been boosted by the reward of the sub-quest. However, Yale felt that Wyba's speed was extremely high compared to anyone else; after all, she obtained the same bloodlines as Yale and received some help from Liye, it would be weird if she were slow to train.
Almost a month passed since Yale awakened in that place, but Yale and Wyba remained focused in training. Being crazy at training was something normal to Yale, but not to Wyba who believed that she also needed to reach the Practitioner Rank to meet Aiwai due to Yale's explanation.
She didn't like that explanation nor the situation, but she also knew that Yale was serious about being unable to meet Aiwai. Yale also knew about Wyba's misunderstanding and that her bad mood was due to Aiwai's situation, but he didn't plan to tell her that she didn't need to do anything, because being unable to act was even more frustrating than having an objective hard to reach.
Moreover, reaching the Practitioner Rank wasn't that difficult for Wyba, she just needed time because with such bloodlines, as long as one trained, reaching that rank was a sure thing, but for Wyba that time waiting to reach the Practitioner Rank was the most painful thing.
Wyba was still at the 1-star Apprentice, but Yale had already reached the 2-star Apprentice, and his Martial Arts had reached the level six of the apprentice stage.
Yale would like to improve more his swordsmanship, but he knew that trying to train alone wouldn't help him, so he focused on increasing his own power and in Martial Arts.
"Name: Yale
Age: 14
Origin Level: 22
Origin Points: 1742/1742"
"Vitality: 1553
Strength: 1626
Agility: 1599
Intelligence: 2000
Wisdom: 2000
Dexterity: 1515"
Yale's main problem in training was that the advance of his stats was far slower than his Origin Point increase, the previous sub-quest extremely boosted them, so Yale advanced to the 2-star without too many difficulties, but beside Intelligence and Wisdom, the other stats were hard to max to advance again.
Without having any type of special food like the ones Aiwai made, that kind of speed was already very good and enough to make others feel jealousy, but with that speed, he would need too much time to reach the Practitioner Rank.
The effects of a divine beast bloodline and two legacy bloodlines from his past life were indeed amazing for strengthening the body and for any other that would be already incredible. However, Yale needed to max all his stats, so that increase was still too slow.
"Oh, brother, see what I found! A young man with a little half-beast girl. I am sure that we can sell that little girl for a good amount of money."
Yale and Wyba stopped their training after hearing those voices. Yale had noticed their presence thanks to Mapping and knew that they were near, but he didn't try to flee although those two were stronger than him based on the Mapping's colors.
Those two were just Apprentice Warriors between the 4-star, and at the 6-star, but although their level was stronger, they didn't seem a true danger for Yale.
If they had just ignored them or spoke to them friendly, Yale wouldn't have acted, but he let out a cold smile after hearing their words; he had been in an extremely bad mood and wanted to find someone to vent his anger.
"You! Give us that little girl, and we will let you live. Don't say that we are bullying the young."
Those two looked like middle-aged men, but they were tall and bulky with some tattoos on their bodies.
There wasn't any reply from Yale, he just took out his Space-time Judgment Sword and executed Limb Splitter together with Major Healing, crippling one of them immediately.
At the same time, he used Poison Claw to injure the other as he wanted to try the effects of the poison.
Those two didn't expect such reaction, and they had been unable to see Yale's moves, so they didn't even defend before having lost miserably.
Their level was higher, but all their stats were lower than Yale, that was something normal as there wasn't any need to improve them to the max like Yale.
If Yale were to meet someone who looked young, he wouldn't be that confident, as talents like that usually put more effort into every part of the training to seek true strength and not only intimidate with their Rank. Although they may not max their stats, they wouldn't have it as low as those two men; their stats were lower than those Yale had when he was at the 5-star Novice Rank.
Half-beasts even with bad bloodlines would have some kind of help in increasing their stats, so seeing something like that was almost impossible, but in the human side, especially those who were in a low rank but looked old, it was extremely usual. Those people were desperate to increase their Rank and forgot completely to train anything else.
Yale looked the face of the poisoned man, he was suffering a lot, but the poison didn't seem something that would threaten his life. However, he wouldn't be able to move for some time.
"Who are you?"
The disabled man asked with fear in his voice; he could feel Yale's level and didn't understand the reasons for such a huge difference of power.
"Who am I? You are not qualified to hear that. You are just two fools who angered me when I was in a bad mood, so you shall be punished."
Yale was imitating the tone of voice and way of speak from Liye to scare those two even more; he was in a bad mood from the start, and those two wanted to kidnap Wyba, they were just seeking death.
Yale put his hand on the disabled man's head and executed Soul-search. That man's soul had been strengthened a bit due to his rank, but as he didn't train the Magus Path, his soul was extremely weak even with that.
Yale's first Soul-search worked perfectly, and he obtained all the memories from the bandit at the same time that the bandit's soul had been damaged to a point he wouldn't be able to act like a human anymore.
"So, you two are just lowly bandits without any affiliation, but you are also in the business of slavery selling those who you capture, mainly women and kids. Despicable. You two did too many wicked acts in the past; this end is even merciful to you."
Yale cut the head of the man who had been soul-searched, he hadn't any use in his state, so cursing the remains of his soul was the last thing Yale could do to him. He was regretting didn't know how to modify their souls like Liye did to make them suffer a worse fate. The memories he saw were enough to want for them the same fate Liye gave to the eldest prince. It was enough to say that at their side, the Twin Eunuchs seemed good and pure kids.
"You are a reincarnated expert!"
The poisoned man used all his strength to say that, he had heard that some reincarnated experts could extract information from the souls.
"Yes, I am, and you are already a corpse."
