Chapter 269: Practicing And Training ----- After checking out what my new Martial Arts could do, I quickly moved on to practicing; the sun was slowly setting as I started practicing. There were only two techniques available, but it did say I could discover new ones. The most basic were available: the ability to materialize into weapons and the other that can heal wounds, and all of that, which makes the power of Hope very versatile! I don’t know if I can practice the healing abilities right now, perhaps if I get thrown into a swarm of monsters, but that’s for later. For now, let’s practice the first ability. “Let’s see…” Sepa glanced at me in silence as I channeled my Ki and Hope Essence, generating a spark of golden flames in the palm of my hands. It was small—an ember at this point—but it flared with great strength. I also noticed that creating this flame cost 10 Hope Essence out of a thousand. I had a bit of reserve, and it was slowly recovering over time thanks to my connection with Master, who was giving me her own Hope too. “Now…” FLUOSH! I shapeshifted the flames, quickly thinking of some shape that could hold some power—a shape within my mind. And then a blade came to mind. The blade of a sword? The flame is too small for that. How about a dagger instead? In my beginning days, I used daggers a lot. FLASH! The flames changed shape, becoming almost an exact fusion between the Ice and the Flame daggers I had. They got an upgrade thanks to Hilda, becoming Angelic and Demonic Daggers, and this dagger’s design was like a perfect fusion between the two. Slowly, my imagination materialized the flame into a pure gold-like material. It was hard and metallic, yet very light at the same time. “Wow.” I looked at my own hands and tried it out, cutting through my skin. My skin was very tough at this point; I’ve cultivated my durability a lot. Yet the dagger was still able to slice through it, albeit with some effort. Blood started coming out, my red blood. “Interesting; it cuts really well; I think it ignores some physical defense already?” “Oh? Is that so?” “Now let’s try the healing flames.” I conjured another golden ember and turned it into a mass of phantasmal, golden essence; it covered the wound like gum, stopping the bleeding and rapidly healing the wound. “Eh? That was fast!” “Is it faster than your healing spells?” “Yes, it’s probably ten times faster…” “Even more than Healing Touch?” “Healing Touch is slow actually, mostly because it’s a Skill and has no MP Cost.” “Oh, so that’s how it is… What else can it do?” “Let’s test it!” I conjured more Embers; this time, I transformed some of them into golden shields of various shapes and sizes, materializing them quite easily with just a thought. I don’t know if the technique was supposed to be this easy, or if I was just very talented. Nonetheless, once I put the floating shields above the sky, I created more daggers and started throwing them. I have become quite proficient at dagger throwing after all! I made the shields float around, rotating very quickly! It was a nice challenge, one I welcomed because I was a bit bored. “Woah, you’re doing that?” Sepa wondered. “Yep, just watch~” I concentrated my Ki into my eyes and arms, enhancing my dexterity and musculature. This was something I couldn’t quite do before, but after getting into this world and cultivating so much, it felt completely possible. I threw the dagger towards the floating shield, hitting it. The dagger got stuck in the shield! CLANK! It made a loud, metallic sound. So this confirms that weapons made out of Flames of Hope can pierce against each other more easily. Now let’s try with my other daggers, the [Demonic Dark Blazing Dragon Tooth] and the [Celestial Frost Wolf Fang]. I’ll also use my Dagger Arts, [Knife Throw]! FLASH! I threw both daggers at the same time, enchanted with the Skill power and effects; their trajectory became much better, hitting the shields in the center. CLANK! CLANK! I didn’t load any Mana
