The days passed swiftly as Damien and Ruyue spent their time training diligently with Tian Yang.
Unlike before, he was taking an active role in their training and giving them lessons much more often. It was clear that there would be some sort of event happening in the future that he was preparing them for.
And just like that, 3 months passed.
Damien had learned more than he would have ever expected in these 3 months. Even he was surprised by his own progress.
First and foremost was his sword. He had been training the sword for so long that he expected to feel some kind of connection with it, but he really had none.
With the way he found his fighting style evolving, he almost wanted to throw away the sword entirely, but he chose not to. His sword art was still one of his greatest strengths.
With Tian Yang’s help, Damien was able to build a more solid foundation for his sword that he previously didn’t have. Until this point, he was sure of what his sword was meant for.
It was a tool for slaughter. For savageness, brutality, and killing. That was the only reason he ever picked up a sword. It was the resolve that was bred into his sword when he was still in the dungeon.
But did he still need such a sword? The answer was a resounding no. He was long past the point where he would only move to kill, where he was cold enough to not spare a second thought at anything that didn’t concern him.
Well, it’s not like he magically became a better person. He just knew that he didn’t need to act so animalistic anymore.
So Tian Yang taught him skill to add to his previously brutal sword, attempting to make it more concise and methodical.
But that was only a minor improvement. Damien didn’t actually have a great amount of talent for the sword at all. If anything, his talent was for the destruction he could cause.
And for that, his best tool was his spatial element. And with Tian Yang also having the same element, it was only obvious Damien would make immense progress.
His Celestial Authority had been properly fleshed out, and Damien had created a few different moves he could evoke with it. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say he was incredibly anticipating the use of them.
His vector control also slightly improved, allowing him to affect a wider range around him. Damien tended not to use this power, since it would take all the fun out of battle, but it would be incredibly important when he truly got serious, so he never neglected it.
But for the most part, he simply firmed his foundation like Tian Yang had told him before. He solidified his base knowledge and comprehended more about space, making sure he would have the ability to back up his strength.
Naturally, he also took the time to visit Long Chen every day of the first week for the pleasure of being called “Boss” by the helpless young master.
And Ruyue wasn’t slacking either. In fact, she worked even harder than Damien to not be surpassed by him. Even if she didn’t look it, she wanted to maintain her position as senior sister and stay stronger than him if possible.
Her main problem was with offense, and she had just gained a weapon that would grant her such ability. All the had to do was understand and refine her Iceflame until she could properly use it in combat.
So that’s exactly what she did. Her first move was to enter a comprehension state, forgoing physical training for a while,
And in this state, she was able to understand a bit about the element that she couldn’t before.
Her main question until now had been, what does it have to do with the moon? And she found that it both had everything to do with the moon and nothing at all.
In the depths of her comprehension, she learned much more than she originally thought. In fact, her comprehension left the ice flame and returned to her moon affinity in general.
In the first place, what is a moon? A moon, in reality, is a natural satélite that orbits a planet. Regardless of whether it opposes a sun or is simply an asteroid caught within a planet’s orbit, they are all technically considered as moons.
So, what was Ruyue’s affinity? On her status sheet, it simply said “moon”, making Ruyue, or anybody, assume that she had a connection to the lunar body that rose in the nighttime.
But as she delved further into the concept, she realized that her perception was always wrong. Manipulation of lunar energy? That was merely scratching the surface of what she could truly do.
Her affinity…she learned that it was much closer to an affinity with celestial bodies as a whole than simply the moon itself.
It was eerily similar to what Damien originally thought his Celestial class was meant for, connecting to celestial bodies.
The differences between the two were many, but in this specific ability, the main difference was the medium used to form connections.
While Damien used space itself as a medium, having naturally formed ethereal connections to every celestial body in the vicinity, Ruyue had to work much harder to achieve the same result.
The reason was simple. She didn’t use any medium to form the connections she needed to form. They were direct connections to the celestial bodies, without any outside interference.
But the difference in their performance would also reflect that. The reason Damien never truly used the plethora of connections that he constantly had was because he couldn’t really get anything out of them.
It wasn’t the main purpose of his class.
For Damien to maximize the benefits of these connections, he had to bind the worlds and form relationships with their World Cores. It was both due to the nature of the class and the fact that it was a class rather than an affinity.
But for Ruyue, she was born with this ability. She didn’t acquire it through legends and class changes. So for her, the process naturally differed.
And until she realized this fact, she wasn’t able to truly bring out the potential of her element.
She was only able to use the bare minimum through the single connection that had naturally formed between her and the closest celestial body, one which also leaned more towards yin and synchronized best with her.
She was now able to understand what clicked when she saw Damien’s sunfire. It wasn’t a matter of elements nor was it something related to the moon she was already connected to.
She had subconsciously formed another connection. She was able to feel it now. It was a smaller satellite that orbited around a much larger axis, making it the second-closest yin-centered celestial body.
She was able to see it clearly now. It was a small world, around 1/3rd the size of the moon, but it was an elemental world.
It was better classified as a star than anything else, but it somehow still fell under her authority. Most likely, it was due to the synchronization between her yin and moon affinities.
The small star was naturally uninhabitable, especially considering its atmosphere.
It was covered, or rather, completely made up of the iceflame that Ruyue was now able to utilize.
