Chapter 486 Two new skills
Kyle raised his hand and gazed at the light that gathered above his palm. The light was purely white with a hint of gold and grey in between. His nose twitched when he caught a familiar scent in the air.
'Master is here?'
Although he sensed Hubert's presence through his scent perception skill that had developed significantly in the past year, he didn't turn around to acknowledge the old man's presence.
'I'm sure he's going to ask too many questions, especially about why and how I can use spiritual energy. So, how about I let him see to reduce the number of questions?'
Kyle closed his palm, and the light seeped out through his fingers to disperse in the air. It had been a while since he started sensing spiritual energy in his surroundings, thanks to Hubert, because whenever the old man used spiritual energy in front of him, he observed keenly and did his best to understand the process.
Regardless, getting a hold of spiritual energy was the hardest challenge he had faced so far. It took him a full six months just to sense it in his surroundings. Another six months to learn how to harness it, and even now, he could only absorb a small amount into his body. The quantity was so meager that he could barely conjure a fireball with it.
He let out a breath, and the ice enveloping his body started to crack and fall away to the ground. Kyle gazed his body and saw the scars fading.
'At least the ice is quite useful for healing. I just used it since I acquired two new skills from the bloodline six months ago. I guess the ice is also one of the reasons my body can handle so much pressure.'
He shook his head and glanced at the image that showed his stats from the corner of his eyes.

#*Bloodline ability; Encasing Ice; (Celestial)-Rank:
The user can envelop themselves in a layer of ice that heals all their injuries. However, this ability can only be used once every six months since it doesn't draw energy from the atmosphere but rather directly from the ancient essence within the user's body.
#*Bloodline ability; Arcane Visions; (Divine)-Rank:
The user can activate it to see the potential paths they could take in the upcoming minute that hasn't occurred yet, but only with enough spiritual energy.

Kyle groaned inwardly after seeing (F)-rank in front of his spiritual energy stat because he had a nagging feeling at the back of his head that he had this same rank in other stats before as well. But he didn't remember much now.
Also, he was still a pseudo-divine rank because his divine energy stat had been stuck in the Final stage — elite. Only when he absorbed divine energy would he jump to the next rank. After all, to reach the true divine rank, one needs to gather enough divine energy.
Kyle found out about it later from Hubert, but almost all the villagers had only ever achieved strength in their physiques.
He was a little surprised because he sensed through his scent perception skill that many people in the village had reached divine rank. However, after hearing the old man's explanation, he realized that his skill did not track their ranks but rather sensed their physiques, giving him the impression that they had reached divine-rank.
Also, they were all dragons and could transform into their true forms if they were able to tap into spiritual energy.
Kyle rose to his feet and seized the iron sword he had stabbed in the ground.
He ran his fingers along the blade and assumed a normal stance before slashing it forward. Immediately, the air around the blade rippled, even though he had just used pure strength in that move before the slash traveled and left another mark on the land across from him. Then he displayed the same move again, but this time with all the spiritual energy in his body to satisfy the old man watching him.
After he was done, he sensed Hubert approaching him. Kyle finally moved his gaze to look at the old man, who leaped and landed softly before him with a serious expression. But he could clearly see the joy flickering in Hubert's eyes as the latter cleared his throat.
"So, Kyle, my dear pupil... if I ask how you learn to use spiritual energy, would you tell this curious old man?"
Kyle raised his brows. It was very rare for Hubert to ask something so politely, as the old man would usually just smack him if he wanted to get something out of him. But it seems Hubert didn't want to pry because he completely overlooked the ice that is still glistening beneath their feet and only asked about how Kyle learned to use spiritual energy.
"Of course, I learned it through observation whenever master used it in front of me."
Hubert gave him a nod. He already knew Kyle's comprehension ability was top-notch, but he never expected Kyle could use the same comprehensive ability for other things as well!
"Good, very good! I also wanted to teach you how to sense spiritual energy as it is extremely important for your growth after you pass the transcendent rank."
"But you are human, and it's quite challenging for humans to understand spiritual energy compared to other races. Plus, since you want to leave this land as soon as possible, I thought it would be best for you to first achieve the transcendent rank in physique. I never thought you would learn it just by watching me use it!"
