The second day of the graduation test!
"Hah!" Raurau chuckled in glee upon succeeding in his refinent. He consud a portion of dicine and grew confident, ’Based on my calculation, 50 millilitre of this can easily grant 190 units of Prana.’
"I will easily place first and beco the Settlent Leader..." He paused at that point, deep in thought, ’A Settlent Leader?’
’That is only soone with Silver Grade strength.’ He gazed at his hands and clenched them into a fist, ’I have the Buoyant Disease. Based on what I heard, I’ll lose all my strength the mont I mate with a girl having the Buoyant Disease. And if my essence feels lacking, the success of birthing a Deity will plumt.’
"No, I’ve yet to hit my limit!" He snorted and punched the trunk shielding him once, "I can grow stronger, way stronger than what the Cooter Clan could grant ."
"I can reach the peak of the Gold Grade," He uttered with assurance, "Yes, I must aim to beco the Chief! And then, I’ll be the first in history to have more than one Deity as my children."
"Then..." He eyed the dicine before him with a heated gaze, "A dicine alone isn’t enough. I should refine it further."
"An elixir!" He nodded and got to work imdiately, "As long as I manage to refine an Elixir, I’m guaranteed to beco the next Chief!"
"The principal said that without the usage of Parute Fruits, it is impossible to refine an Elixir." He uttered, "In less than half a day, can I succeed in theorising a thod and apply it in action?"
"No, I can." He uttered in confidence, "An Elixir is sothing that can naturally build the Spirit Container without conscious input."
"Then, based on my experience in building my Spirit Container..." A Cooter Clansman had a relatively easier ti building their Spirit Container as compared to Raurau, who had the Buoyant Disease.
His Spirit Container was prone to shattering even in cases of exposure to fluids, such as when he’s taking a bath or drinking water. Therefore, he had beco habituated to repeatedly rebuilding his shattered Spirit Containers again and again.
At the sa level, he was significantly more experienced than his peers. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to accumulate strength when even the re act of drinking water could screw up his growth and even kill him.
’I need to refine a dicine that can stimulate the sa conditions as in my body when I’m building my Spirit Container. The blood flow, the reaction from the digestive juices, the intermixing of various fluids during the digestion and other bodily processes...’ He fell deep into thought, ’Yes, as long as I emulate all the conditions, and create a dium that can maintain these conditions, I will succeed.’
Crack!
In a re two hours since he harnessed the thought, Raurau was beaming with a wide smile, watching the slightly radiant droplet swirling before him, "It...It’s a success!"
It was a Lowest Grade Elixir, capable of building the Spirit Container by one unit’s worth of Prana upon consumption. Even though it only granted one unit, the fact that he succeeded in creating an Elixir was significantly monuntal.
Just by using Pelting Monkey eggs, an abundantly available, inexhaustible resource, the fact that an Elixir could be created was enough to boost the Cooter Clan’s might by several levels.
"Now, I’m guaranteed to beco the Chief!" Raurau stored the Elixir carefully in a vial, pocketed it, grabbed his stock of refined dicines, and rushed out. He evaded the Pelting Monkeys, consud dicine from ti to ti when a Pelting Monkey crashed into him, and sped towards the shore.
It was night ti as he exited the forest, having a small leeway to the deadline. Upon seeing the adults waiting at the shore, he hollered in excitent, "Principal!"
"Hmm?" The principal in question blinked in confusion upon seeing the item that Raurau had presented, in confusion, taking one, two, five seconds in total before his face grew ashen, "T-T-This is an Elixir?"
"Did you find a Parute Tree inside the forest? Where?" He asked in a hurry, for every Parute Tree had strategic value.
"No," Raurau shook his head with a chuckle and explained, "I refined it using Pelting Monkey eggs."
"How?" The principal found it hard to believe, "Refining Elixirs without Parute Fruits is impossible."
"You see," Raurau described his thought process, "Since the Pelting Monkeys can treat their brethren as Spirit Weapons, it ans their psychokinesis is all recognised as a unified form from the perspective of their bodies, which serves as a Spirit Weapon for others of their kind."
"That ans, all the eggs could resonate with each other as a Spirit Weapon under a single wave of psychokinesis." Raurau continued, "This ans, I can technically consider their Spirit Containers similar to our Spirit Containers in the Spirit Stage."
"aning, I can stack one hundred of them to reach the peak of the Spirit Stage, and then combine them into a unified whole to enter the Body Stage." Raurau concluded with pride, "I succeeded in doing that, at which point, that unified Spirit Container was very similar to a Parute Tree, only containing a lot of pollutants."
"As I continued to purify and refine it alongside the dicine, I managed to create an Elixir."
At the end of his explanation, which Principals from both Settlents listened with rapt attention, he handed out an Information Slip, "I’ve recorded the refinent process here."
"T-This is..." The two Principals consud the Information Slips and gasped in shock, "It works!"
They made eye contact with each other, in extre excitent, ’We have a genius with the potential to beco the Chief!’
Their faces grew deep red in excitent as the Principals turned to face the teachers that had accompanied them, "Quick! Inform the Settlent Leader..."
Words got stuck in their throats, for they noticed strands of muscles had wrapped around Raurau. And before they could react, Raurau was lifted to the sky and pulled into the forest.
"NO!" The principals shouted and gave chase, blasting through the trees as they gave chase, gasping in horror to see the muscle strands vanish as Raurau fell into the hands of a 120-tre-tall humanoid.
"T-that is...!" One of the Principals uttered with a twisted face, "Bhirully!"
Mutated Interdiate Gold Grade Pranic Beast–Bhirully!
[This is my prey!]
The Bhirully uttered as it held Raurau using two fingers and punched in the direction of the two principals to unleash a cloud of smoke.
[Scram!]
A vortex ford as the two Principals defended against the attack. As the dust cleared, one of the Principals shouted, "Once a Bhirully starts running, it will never stop for years or even decades."
"I’ll give chase and leave behind clues to chase after." He roared as a stream gushed forth through the forest path and he rode the stream on a wave, "Go and summon our Settlent Leaders!"
"We must rescue our future Chief!" Without hesitation, the two Principals split up.
As for Raurau, he found himself shivering in fear as the Bhirully, while continuing to sprint at full speed, lifted him close to his face and revealed a maniacal grin.
[You’re the success recipe that I’ve been searching for all along!]
