She explained to him, "As long as you master the Everlasting Wood Art and Divine Lightning Armament, you can't be weak. Just one of them is enough to make you extraordinary. The combination of the two of them will be overkill." After saying so, she threw another crystal at him. This crystal contained the schematics, formation diagrams, and forging process for making the Divine Lightning Armament. When he was done reading it, Elder Storm Hawk asked him, "What did you see?" Arthur was overwhelmed by what he saw. What he saw was large enough to fill a book. It wasn't a technique. It was more like a textbook. What he was feeling was exactly the opposite of what he felt when he was given the operation manure. He was surprised back then because the operation manure was too short. Now he is flabbergasted because the production manure is enough to make him busy for a lifetime. He tried to find a way to express what he was feeling. Eventually, he could only say, "I see why the Blood Skull Sect is so powerful and why a golden core cultivator of our sect can kill a nascent cultivator." She smiled when she heard what he said. Then she asked, "So you've heard of Elder Void Claw's exploit?" Don't believe everything you heard about him, though." He asked in confusion, "So he didn't kill that Nascent Soul?" She shook her head. "Oh, he did. He did that much. But many people say that he did it because he was violent and proud. That's wrong." "Elder Void Claw is the most gentle person I know. He didn't start that fight. He wanted something at an auction that the nascent soul senior wanted. The nascent soul senior tried to pressure him with status, but he refused to give up and won the item rightfully." "This angered the nascent soul senior. The senior decided to attack him once he left the auction. The rest is history." Arthur said, "I see." Elder Storm Hawk brought the conversation back to what she asked him. "You need to master the production technique. Your mastery of it will determine how well you build your foundation." "As you can see, using the armament is easy, but making it is the core of the matter. You will need to be able to make armaments that will fit you and will also need to know how to forge armaments so that you can forge your body into one too." After saying this, her tone became serious. She warned him seriously, "Building your foundation will be very difficult and extra dangerous for you since you have to use two great techniques to build it. If you are not careful, you might lose your life. So you have to study hard." He stood up and said to her, "I will do my best." She said, "You better. That will be all." Then she turned to leave. But before she left, she said, "Feel free to ask me questions you have. I'll try my best to answer. But I recommend taking a formation class so that you can learn to draw formations. Try forging classes too." Her tattoos glowed, and the lightning hawk materialized around her. She flapped the wings of the lightning hawk and took to the air. In the air she called back to him, "When you reach the tenth transformation, tell me and I'll take you for a fishing game." He asked her, "What kind of fish are we trying to catch?" Her eyes glinted, and she laughed as she replied, "The greatest fish that there is. The fish called man." Then she flew away. He watched her leave. Then he deactivated the divine lightning armament. This caused it to stop glowing. It shrunk and reverted to its previous state as a fur coat. He didn't deactivate the fur coat completely. He still left the blue roots attached to his body. This way, he would be able to easily activate the armament when he needs it. Not that he can easily remove the roots. It will require him to break them off and pull the remnant from his body. It is a painful process that he doesn't want to experience now. He also doesn't want to experience it when he needs the armament to fight. So rather than go through the pain twice and also waste time at a critical time, he decided to keep the fur coat attached to his body. His figure has reverted to his human form now that the fur coat has been deactivated. It just looks like he is wearing a large blue fur coat over his naked body. He doesn't mind the look at all. He also doesn't mind the blue roots embedded in his flesh and blood vessels. It isn't painful, and he can handle it thanks to the incredible vitality of his life seed. After he deactivated the fur coat, his whole existence felt as if he had been freed from a great weight. His body became lighter and easier to move. He felt so relaxed that he sighed in relief. Then he muttered to himself, "The power is great, but the price of this power is expensive." He isn't kidding. Apart from the expensive energy cost, there is also the matter of the loss of 71 years of his life span. That's 30% of his life span of 235 years. So now he has a life span of 164 years. Since he has spent 20 years of that life span, he has 144 years left to live. When the 100 years of minumum life span is removed from that, it indicates that he has 44 years left before he has to reach the third mortal coil. He muttered to himself with slight worry, "44 years should be more than enough, right?" He is certain that he can reach the tenth transformation of the second mortal coil in at most ten years. But the memory of what he needs to learn in order to master the divine lightning armament is a little intimidating.
