Everyone Has Them Around Themselves

Yun Beishang spoke those words, not only as a means for encouragement and giving his thanks to his people and his subordinates, but also due to the fact that he was about to give 'private lessons' to his women, such was the case and so he felt like giving them first a heads up before proceeding to speak personally to the girls separately. This, though not easy to understand or feel like it's necessary, was rather to improve the mood and not to make it uncomfortable and instead make it feel proper and well; nice.

Leading the girls a little bit far away and creating a little cubicle made of his Mental Power alone to cover him, the Hidden Classes and the rest of his people so that others with Hidden Stats wouldn't be able to eavesdrop their meeting. Well, just in case, and it never comes wrong to be cautious like this; ah.

First, he went over and checked Cindy's skillset. He had already seen hers some days ago, but with the newest addition and enhancement that she received from Pure, and adding to that the fact that he hadn't seen her fight an Enlightened grade BOSS -at the very least- on her own which opted Yun Beishang to talk to her about it first since the experience of seeing her use her class's skills was the last he had seen from everyone else's.

[Fire Core Elemental Manipulation(Godly)]: Type: Passive/Active, MAX LV: 3, LV: 1, Requirement needed for next LV: ???. As the carrier of the power of the Flaming Ashes and the Sacred Bestial Flame, you are able to become invulnerable to all damages from and haling from the Fire Core Element. In the same manner, you can manipulate all flames in any way you want to, as long as your Nature Connection hidden stat and your comprehension of this skill has reached high enough levels. You can now travel as a gush of Fire Core Element that can even turn invisible and move to a speed of 150% Movement Speed at most.

[Godly Flaming Ashes - Godly Sacred Bestial Flame]: Type: Passive/Activation, MAX LV: 3, LV: 1, Requirement needed for next LV: Fire Core Elemental Manipulation(Godly) is LV2. Choose the Godly flame of your preference to attack your enemies, create structures, weapons and even assimilate clones to your advantage. Different specialties vary depending on the type of innate flame that you are using but the damage is the same. Each attack is equal to 360% of your Magical Power; DoT effects of the Godly Flaming Ashes is of 19% of your Magical Power and they can be stacked thrice, while the Godly Sacred Bestial Flame's DoT effects deal 280% of your Magical Power every 9 seconds.

[Godly Nova of the Phoenix]: Type: Active, MAX LV: 3, LV: 1, Requirement for next LV: ???. Instantly summon the Fire Core Elemental particles surrounding you in a 1,000km radius to pulverize your target, whatever it is, it would cease to exist after it gets hit by this skill.

Cost: 9,999 MP, 9,999 Stamina and 9% of your total HP. Cooldown: 8 minutes and 30 seconds.

[Bloodline Incineration]: Type: Active, MAX LV: 3, LV: 3, Requirement for next LV: ???.

Afterwards, all of your stats and resources will be reduced in 33% for 3 hours. Cooldown: None(Cannot be used again it once it has already been used thrice). Duration: 15 seconds.

[Vermilion Bird]: (Yun Huo): Type: Vermilion Bird Pet(Sacred Beast), Grade: Enlightened, Level: 99, Owner: Little Phoenix Maid. As one of the mythical beasts of the Myriad Beasts Division, the Vermilion used to be in charge of being the Sacred Beast Protector of the Carmesí Vermilion Bird Sub-Division, but it had instead become free of its duty since thousands of years ago after a tremendous sacrificial event. It has now become bounded to you and is capable of slowly growing up into its true power as it continues to grow stronger; it is made from the last bit of almost-being Essence of Pure, the last Carmesí Vermilion Bird Sacred Beast Protector and can be considered its own child.

Attributes: HP: 15,000, MP: 109,000, Stamina: 109,000, Physical Power: 1,100, Magical Power: 11,000, Physical Defense: 0, Magical Defense: 4,500, Hit Rate: 80%, Dodge Rate 0%, Critical Hit Rate: 0%, Pierce Rate: 0%, Attack Speed: 80%, Movement Speed: 35%.

Godly Nova of the Phoenix became much more devastating, allowing her to cast the skill almost instantaneously due to the increase of Fire Core Element particles absorption area from 500km to a whopping 1,000km! The area also enlarged by almost 50% of its previous amount of 150m, tough its depth remained at 500m. Even then, the aftermath of the use of such a skill leaving devastating flames to inflict damage to anyone who was touched or who stumbled upon them became a bit larger but also more lasting and even slightly more costly in resources except for HP. This was an incredible win and, just knowing that this was only the LV1 of such a skill made Yun Beishang feel proud of this girl of his.

Then, her inherited flames became Godly, even further beyond that of her own Hidden Class's title of Ancestral stage and so on. It had much more damage and it would definitely grow more shocking even once she managed to find the way to upgrade; way in which... our dear Yun Beishang already had an inkling to such a situation. And ey, he didn't mind; really, he didn't mind.

Fire Core Elemental Manipulation(Ancestral) turned '(Godly)' instead; and its effects went from being able to control her own inherited flames to being able to use them in a way very closely related to that of Yun Beishang's Pure's Essence and his still not attained essence. Towards this thought, Yun Beishang looked more sharply and in a much more understanding manner.

Lastly, her Pet, or rather, their Pet. Yun Huo was a little chicken grown into a big ol' birdy with a pair of incredibly majestic wings but with an ordinary red and orange colors on her feathers, her peak was more refined and elegant even as her eyes were of a powerful ashen grey color; as if to match the way in which Cindy's eyes change whenever Yun Beishang is around. Her grade went up to Enlightened and, according to what Cindy thought, once it achieved LV100, it should become Legendary.

To this train of thought, Yun Beishang speculated that it definitely wasn't an auspicious number or a trolling move from part of the Crestfallen Industry to have created the limit right before it, as he found it to be quite the milestone for many skills upgrades and evolves that even he had. This limit; was premeditated. It HAD to be, and for whatever reason.

"!" At once, Yun Beishang realized that there were hundreds of smaller globes that were all of a mix between an ordinary but majestic flamy red color with some bits of orange and an ashen grey flamy color; even then though, they were separated in half in a '/' manner where the grey ashen flamy color was below and the ordinary but majestic flamy red color was above.

Then, Yun Beishang asked his girl about the way in which she fights her enemies. It was a stretching question alright, but Cindy was more than cooperative with him and, being the first one to be asked her things and thingies of her Hidden Class, she showed cooperation to a great level as a role to follow for others. It wasn't needed actually, as Yun Beishang had his women tamed so well... ahem, but oh well. Why the hell not?

Cindy still had that Flame Enhancing Bracelet, so with that alone and taking a look at the outdated clothes that Pure made for her in the past, a few months ago, he got all he needed to know what to do for this girly. As such, after giving her a Spicy Feathered Turtle roasted drumstick from part of Zyv, he went ahead and approached Sash next.

When Yun Beishang arrived before Sash, the before insecure and hate-men-out-of-trauma young woman, instead of treating him the way that 'it should have been', welcomed him before he could even utter a single word by embracing his waist lightly. She then lifted her face up to look at him from having rested the left side of her forehead on his beating heart, and that was when Yun Beishang understood it all.

As a man from someone whom he just started shyly being with, marrying another five in front of her after even being asked to watch it... ah, yeah, that's kind of weird; isn't it? But even then, her azure eyes whose left side was slightly obstructed by an orange strand of her wavy sexy long hair were looking at him rather expectantly, not pushy or irrationally but simply as if conveying the words that he himself has had spoken before; 'wait for me' and basically that of 'I'll be patient, because you've been patient with me'. Though the latter was exclusively hers as Yun Beishang has been indeed the one to be so responsive to her and, well, Sash is a fully-fledged heterosexual heroic woman.

After letting the hassle of being a lovebirds go, Yun Beishang first spoke to her about what she goes for and what she likes the most from inside the game, questions to know the general stuff that she likes would be used later on for a date or so in real life, cough; teenagers-like fuckers. He didn't need to ask her of her playstyle since, well, he got a good taste from that before by almost being killed for the first time ever when they first met. Ah, what a cliché, hm?

Long spear, strong but light armor and very good, good, good and good speed! Similar to Zyv, somehow, Yun Beishang found himself sneaking a glance to the already ears-tickling Zyv beside Diana who was also already looking at them with shining eyes, as if she's found her perfect partner for crime!

Then, Yun Beishang revised her skills, that were now possible to be seen by him and, well, he was shocked alright.

[Ascent of the Jove Bloodline]: Type: Passive, MAX LV: 10, SP needed for next LV: MAX.

In the same manner, as you also carry with you the heart of the will of the heavens, you are innately perceptive; Heaven's Dominion+3 per level. All your attacks use both your Physical Power and Magical Power whenever you're using Heaven's Dominion. Cooldown: None.

[Heavenly Manipulation]: Type: Passive, MAX LV: 5, Requirement for next LV: MAX. As the carrier of the Jove Bloodline, you can imbue anything you touch, weapons, items, enemies and even nature itself with the use of your hidden stat Heaven's Dominion. Depending on the amount and expertise at the use of the Heaven's Dominion hidden stat, the more efficient and accurate is the damage dealt, the Critical Hit Rate  and Pierce Rate is. Cooldown: None. Cost: 2% of your total HP.

[Wrath Unleashing]: Type: Passive, MAX LV: 10, Requirement for next LV: MAX. For each 1% of your total HP that is reduced from your bar HP, all the damage you deal will be enhanced by 5%.

And at 15% HP, you gain raw Critical Hit Rate+20% and raw Hit Rate+100% for 10 minutes once it is gained, it doesn't wears off upon dying.

[Sweeping Heavenly Lightning Blink]: Type: Active, MAX LV: 3, Requirement for next LV: MAX. With the use of your Heaven's Dominion hidden stat and by sacrificing some of your vitality, move in a fast dash-teleportation movement in which everywhere you pass by will be struck by lightning and whose contrails will remain for 3 seconds after your blink is effectuated. Enhanced Damage+1,000% for the next attack that you make after the activation of this skill, and damage of the lightning left behind is of 250% of your Magical Power with additional internal bleeding effect that is equal to 30% of your Physical Power which deals damage every tic and for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 25 seconds. Cost: 15% of your total HP.

[Flesh Incineration, Heaven's Lament]: Type: Trigger, MAX LV: 4, Requirement for next LV: ???. Instead of dying, incinerate your body with the lightning of the heavens to eradicate everything around you in an area of 3,000m x 3,000m radius, creating an explosion that will devastate the land and maim nature itself, rendering it useless for a long while. Initial burst damage from the explosion is that of 99,000 True Damage and 5,000% of your Physical Power and 5,000% of your Magical Power. Because you're not capable of igniting your Bloodline efficiently and as it still lays dormant, there are sever repercussions and trigger needed for the use of this skill. Cooldown: None. Cost: HP, MP, Stamina and Movement Speed and Attack/Action Speed are limited to a total of 5% of their original amount and to 5% in total respectively for 3 hours after its use.

These were Sash's unique skills that came with her and her alone; back then, Yun Beishang was almost brought to death by this girl who went ahead and created an impossible sight to behold. That of him about to become someone else's dead ass defeated rival! But the damage that she did to herself even back then was too strong, it was to the point that Yun Beishang believed her skills at that moment to be much more costly than what they are now.

As for 'Flesh Incineration, Heaven's Lament'; Yun Beishang could only lament her incapability to awaken her Bloodline, as it was directed from the system's descriptions on her skill. Which this in fact, made Yun Beishang start thinking deeply, 'Bloodline. Don't tell me, she's also like me and has a real Bloodline so to speak back at from New Earth. And whose innate capabilities and talents were brought from New Earth into Rising Essence?'

Sash had only those 2 skills that weren't part of her talents that way, it wasn't that she had a Passive Class or a Hidden Class, that was just her. This reminded Yun Beishang back to the 2 'passive' Talents and 1 Race Ability that he had, till unknown and locked. He could only deduce that once he had achieved his goal given to him by Katia's encouragement and guidance as well as having reached 'that moment'.

On the other hand, this fine young woman before him could already use said Talents and even Abilities/Skills of her very, very own. Though to a certain point, she was just like him, as he also suffers whenever he entered his incomplete 'transformation' and whenever he is using all of his being to effectuate skills and modifications to each for the sake of killing and destroying. And those after effects, more than naturally, were much more severe and even dangerous than simply being restrained hugely, immensely in their virtual bodies.

Sash's current amount of Heaven's Dominion is that of 8,557. Which is, by far, more than just shocking and dominantly influential. That '+3' for her every level up was but minuscule when considering is closer to the 10,00th mark.

With nothing else to do about it, Yun Beishang at last, concentrated his gaze upon her, and shockingly discovered 2 different globes rotating and dancing beautifully, powerfully and messily about all around her!

Both different types -colored- of globes were bigger than the smallish size of Cindy's globes; with the two of them still not being as big as those that Yun Beishang had seen around the entire world before in times of need and realization, they were more of a 'medium' size instead. One of them was dark-violet in color, looking impossible to contain but overweening, but to Yun Beishang, they seemed to miss... a spark!

As for the other colored group of globes that were definitely for Sash to 'find'; it was of an omnipresent, domineering white that could blind even himself from just looking at the few dozens and dozens of such globes alone. Nevertheless, it seemed to accentuate, to complement the other group of Sash's globes very well. Perfectly; even.

Once Yun Beishang finalized studying her, even as Sash had already become the blushing maiden beauty and he still had his gaze locked on her body, he gave her a little smooch on the tip of her nose with a light embracing movement with his left arm that encircled her shoulders and her back before moving towards his little monkey. He got all he needed to know of Sash; of course, he wouldn't try to seduce her just so that he could test whether or not 'he' could be the direct 'need' and 'help' that she needed for her Bloodline 'Awakening'.

Her changes, no one else could say how different and impactful they were but Yun Beishang, whose mastery and affinity on New Earth of the elements was beyond a human's reach. His footsteps were calm and sonorous as he made his way towards the now slightly nervous-looking and blushing barely a bit little monkey, but his eyes locked on her were teasing and that mouth of his was opened just slightly; just enough so that she would go dry in just one of her mouths. Which, of course, only left her with narrowly left her with the capabilities of speaking just two words.

Step, step, step~. Step. Step.

"Oh boy..."

...

Let It Rain's Note: Today I started to realize that I was growing weak and sickly; even more irritated. So I chose to 'then' give me a break mentally by having a 20 days (30 really, if you count the previous 10 from before when I chose to take the mental break) 1 chapter per day release. I just wanted to let it be known that I'm not stopping writing at all, as I'm not in vacations and far, far, far and very far away from a computer or laptop. And that I'm just trying to have a more relaxed time writing from now on, thank you everyone, for reading. Really, you have no idea what writing means to me.
