The God of Cataka

33

The night was getting late as they continued their journey further and further into the forest. Their next destination was the Eternal Snow Desert, located in the northern part of the Hunting Forest. It was the most likely place to obtain an ice element monster.

Jialin had already started shivering when they were already approaching the Eternal Snow Desert.

Then they decided to rest and make a fireplace. Lim Hua and the others gathered firewood, while Tianba simply kept silent.

Even Tiao had gathered firewood with the disciples of Dormitory Seven. For my sake, he had led everyone here, he thought. At least I should look at Shen Zhu.

After they managed to gather firewood and make a fireplace, Shen Zhu instructed them to make a protective manna in turn.

"We will divide it into two groups with each group consisting of five people" Shen Zhu instructed. "Four men make a protective manna, one man will stand guard. The second group would rest and recuperate, to then take turns with the first group."

"Good!"

Everyone agreed except Tianba. "Who made you the leader here?" his protest.

Everyone glanced at him with a troubled look.

"Don't forget he doesn't need any of this!" refute Tiao with a flat expression. "He didn't have to bother hunting monsters to get crystals. We're the ones who need the crystal."

Tianba instantly fell silent. It was unexpected that Tiao was defending him, he said inwardly. I acted secretly also for his good. Really don't know yourself!

He glanced at Jialin and found that the girl was also just flinching.

Even Jiangwu ignored him since he drowned and Shen Zhu saved him.

This Rancid brat is really good at looking face! tianba growled in his heart.

"You don't have to take part if you don't want to" said Shen Zhu.

"I'll help!" Jiangwu volunteered.

"Me too!" timpal Jialin half muttered. Dare not lift your face.

Tianba gulped and growled in his heart. He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands together. Goddamnit! it's in the heart.

For the sake of his sky-high pride, Tianba turned around and moved away from the entourage.

Everyone just stared at his back with a helpless look on his face.

"Alright," Shen Zhu decided. "Sister Jialin and Brother Wu rest first."

Jialin did not react. Still feeling awkward about the situation.

Shen Zhu turned his head towards Tiao, "Sir Tiao, you too. Rest up!"

"No need!" Tiao shook his head. "You're the one who needs to rest more. You've been helping us all day."

"Yes!" lim Hua Lim. "Rest, Brother!"

"Sir Hua, this forest is quite spooky," Shen Zhu reasoned. Secretly his eyes glanced towards Tianba with a mocking look. "I'm afraid of having nightmares!"

"Then we will keep watch as usual!" grunts Lim Hua.

Shen Zhu chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. "Alright," he said pretending to give up. "Then I won't hesitate anymore!"

"I'll be on guard first!" Jiangwu offered himself.

"Mad Wu!" Tiao. "You drowned" he reminded. "Rest!"

"Drowned?" Lim Hua and the others looked up.

"Aahaha!" Juagwu laughed uneasily as he rubbed the back of his head. "It's nothing!" quickly over. "I'm too weak!"

Too weak? lim Hua thought in amazement. Since when did the student of Dormitory One Putra claim to be weak?

Lim Hua glanced at his fellow disciples of Dormitory Seven. Their faces are just as beautiful. Then they simultaneously glanced towards Shen Zhu.

Lim Hua smiled faintly. You Rancid Boy! tickled inner.

In the end, Lim Hua and Tiao stood guard first with Tan Liu and Lian Ze, while Shen Zhu, Jialin, Jiangwu and the other two recovered.

At least that's what they believe.

Not so with Shen Zhu.

As they sat cross-legged in the lotus position, some recuperated, some combining spiritual power to build a protective manna, while the other three stayed awake or lay down to rest, the report said, Shen Zhu secretly activated his secret ability to monitor the situation.

Vision ability!

It was one of Shen Zhu's abilities that not everyone knew about. Even teachers.

After all Shen Zhu and Xie Ma were born of the same blood. Despite their different natures, their talents were not much different. That vision talent was inherited from their father.

Vision ability or better known as super vision, is divided into three domains with two levels. The realm of the past, present, and future with two realist and surrealist levels.

In contrast to the reach of spiritual power or realm, the range of vision was determined by innate talent born. Unlike the realm of spiritual power, the realm of vision is not a level.

Liu Hanzou was born with a vision talent in the realm of the past, with a surreal level. That's why he became an heirloom expert.

Vision skills in the realm of the past with a surreal level can see the history of an object. The lowest level or realist level could even judge the age of the object it was looking at. It's like we've seen someone and we already know how old he is.

Unlike Xie Ma, despite inheriting vision talent from his father, Xie Ma realm was in the future. It was just that his level of strength had only recently reached the realist. A realist-level future realm could already see the future, but could not guess when exactly. After reaching the surreal level, the new vision ability could penetrate the future in detail.

And Shen Zhu, was born with a vision talent in the present realm. But since his spiritual power level had already reached the galactic realm, his vision power level had already reached the surreal level. That was why he could also detect the demonic aura.

It was the same as Jyang Yue!

The difference was, Jyang Yue was born with a vision talent with a dual realm. Past and present. That's why he can dig up someone's memory.

The vision ability in the present realm with a surreal level could pierce through walls and break through distances. It depends on how high the level of spiritual power the person has. The higher his spiritual power, the farther his range of vision was. The realist level alone could already see the colors of the elements and the colors of the aura.

In short, the realist level range could only see what was before the eyes, while the surreal level could reach further, surpass the distance and break through all barriers.

The rest depends on the intelligence of each individual.

In the end, all superpowers are useless without the support of knowledge and experience, as well as practice and desire.

The soul, body and spirit, is an undifferentiated unity.

True superpowers are the ability to keep these three things in balance.

Xie Ma lost his sanity for ignoring the physical vision of—raga.

Shen Zhu never grew up ignoring the power of the spirit.

And everyone is insane for ignoring the call of the soul.

Every talent is a calling of the soul. And every man has different talents, according to the call of his soul.

So then…

What talent do we have?

Our talent is our superpower.

What we don't have is not our part. No need to think about having it.

Remember what Uncle Spiderman said?

"With great power comes great responsibility!"
