Absolute Protection: Creates a 5-meter field that lasts for 5 seconds. Nothing can interfere with the inside of the field until it disappears. This Legacy Skill can only be used once per month; it doesnt use the users energy.

This skill is a real Absolute Protection.

Absolute Protection can protect Yale and everything around him from any damage. Even if it only lasts for five seconds and can only be used once per month, if Yale were again in the same situation as in the Clans Gathering, at least, he would be able to protect himself and his sister for five seconds.

Can I improve this Legacy Skill?

That was something very important; if the area and duration could increase, then it would be awesome.

The Legacy Skill is a special type of skill that directly use the laws of the world to work; it can only improve if the user gains an understanding of the law the Legacy Skill is using.

Yale was slightly disappointed, gaining understanding in the laws of the world was something that usually only powerful experts could do. However, having this Legacy Skill implies that his past life understood at least some of that law, then Yale should also be capable of doing it someday.

What law does it use?

Laws were very closely related to elements, having a better elemental affinity also makes it easier to understand the law later on.

Absolute Protection relies on the Time Law.

Yale was shocked, Space and Time were special elements like healing, but much more difficult to train and even rarer to have elemental affinities in.

This Legacy Skill using the Time Law implied that Yale would have a very difficult time improving it, but at the same time, the system didnt lie in that it was absolute.

A defense that manipulates time was unbreakable unless one had an even better understanding of the Time Law, a Time-type defense didnt block the incoming attacks, the attacks couldnt exist in the time flux inside the protection.

The Absolute Protection became Yales greatest trump card, a true life-saving skill and one that can also save others.

Is there any way to get more Legacy Skills?

Yale wanted to see if he could obtain more life-saving skills.

The Legacy Skills can only become unlocked by fulfilling hidden requirements. Until fulfilling them, the user wouldnt get any more information.

Yale expected something like that, yet he still tried to ask.

However, he didnt understand why the system put up those many difficulties when helping him instead of giving him the full legacy from his past life, he only survived by luck last time, but with the Absolute Protection, he could have avoided that heavy injury.

Yale didnt understand his own past life, but he couldnt do anything about that, so he chose to rest as he couldnt train now.

In the following days, the healers and Swordmad fully checked Yales body, until they permitted Yale to continue his training.

Yale started to train without rest like before, and he realized that with his vitality maxed and the Auto-regeneration skill his stamina was far greater than before.

Yale didnt have to rely on medicinal pills like before as his bodys recovery was even better than them.

The effects of Auto-regeneration were more powerful when it came to restoring Yales stamina compared to its ability to actually heal his wounds, as restoring stamina was far easier than recovering an injured body.

Two months later Yale increased his Agility to eight, and after another month his Strength reached nine points.

However, Yale was unable to increase his Dexterity to nine points until the week before his ninth birthday.

Yale also upgraded his Magical Talent to mid-high grade and got the next Skill Quest in which he needed to upgrade each of the mind stats to ten points.

In those months, Swordmad was very pleased with Yale as he trained even harder than before.

After having a near-death experience at such young age, it wouldnt be strange to negatively affect a childs mind and turn them into cowards.

However, Yale was the opposite as he became even more hard-working than before. Swordmad considered that this kind of mindset was the best one to practice any Path.

On the other hand, Yale felt that his training was becoming less effective and didnt feel confident to reach the ten points in all of his stats in little more than one year.

The system only gave me a ten percent chance of success, and now I see that it wasnt exaggerating, the last points are truly difficult to obtain.

Ten points were the natural limit for a mortal like him, and his body was near that state, reaching the limit would be a perfect state for a mortal and reaching perfection was always difficult.

Yale knew that he wouldnt be able to succeed by normal means, normal training wouldnt let his body reach perfection. Yale needed practical experience.

Yale knew how to undergo some practical and dangerous training.

However, one should be at least nine years old and younger than ten years old, Yale only missed a week so he can wait a bit, the problem was the other condition.

A recommendation from someone of the older generation of the clan and that member of the older generation would need a very good status in the clan.

Usually, a kid who wanted to undergo such training would ask his father, and if his father couldnt make the recommendation, he would at least ask some others to help the kid.

Yales father could emit such recommendation, but he was someone that didnt even visit Yale once when he was badly wounded before.

Yale didnt even think about asking him; his first option was to ask his master, he only feared that Swordmad wouldnt want to recommend him, that practical training was far too dangerous after all.

That practical training was called Beast Trial.

In a secret and isolated area of the clan, the older generation put a lot of mortal ranked beasts to serve as a trial for the younger generation.

Those who survived became strong, but almost all who tried became corpses.

Yale asked his master the next day, hoping to convince him.

Master, I want to undergo the Beast Trial.

Swordmad didnt expect such a request from his disciple.

Why? You are already very strong for your age, and you dont have any need to undergo such a dangerous trial.

Yale expected such an answer, any other kid with his stats would be already very happy and wont take risks to simply improve a bit more before starting practice.

However, Yale situation was different as he needed to reach ten points in each stat to practice the Origin Path.

I want to become stronger, and I feel that normal training doesnt work as well as before, I need practical experience, and the Beast Trial is a very good practical experience.

Swordmad sighed remembering the stubbornness of his disciple.

With your actual strength and swordsmanship as long as you are careful you shouldnt die in the Beast Trial. All right, I will recommend you, but you must be careful.

Yale Sword Mastery already reached the Apprentice Level 7, and with his Auto-regeneration and Absolute Protection, he could avoid being badly wounded or instantly killed.

Thank you, master. I will start the Beast Trial on my ninth birthday.

The following days Yale prepared himself for the trial, he obtained a real sword from his master and also managed to obtain a bow with some real arrows. His sister sent him some healing medicinal pills; the grade was much higher than the first ones she sent to him.

As for food, the Beast Trial challenger would need to obtain it inside the trial; it was part of the trial itself.

Finally, his ninth birthday came, and Yale followed his master to the restricted area where the Beast Trial would take place.

Yale and Swordmad were the only ones in the area, the Beast Trial wasnt very popular, and only Swordmad came to sent Yale off.

Yale said farewell to his master and entered the Beast Trial.
