《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Suddenly, the Affinity Testing Orb began to shine with a gray color. It wasn't silver, like in the power of space, but gray. Sure enough, that was an Elemental Affinity separated from the five elements. Back in Sunkan Planet, Rean and Roan knew of two cultivators with different Elemental Affinities, although they had never met them. It was the first time they saw someone with a different Elemental Affinity in this world other than Rean and Roan.
"This..." Calina couldn't help but ask, "What does the gray color represent?"
Roan shook his head in response, saying, "I have no idea. It's definitely not dark or light. In any case, it's not space either."
It was then that Calina remembered something. "Then, how did you know he had a different Elemental Affinity?"
"That's because of the Yin Energy circulating in his body. It's very different from other men, and I believe Rean would be able to tell the same thing about his Yang Energy. Usually, the energies are very similar for men and women. When I used my Spiritual Sense to feel all the kids during the Spiritual Energy Pressure test, I noticed the difference." Roan, of course, became even more sure when Zuo missed the evaluation.
Soon after, Zuo took his hand away from the orb and looked at Roan, asking, "Is that a bad thing, sir? Will you throw me away from the sect? My parents just got a place to stay in Freedom City. Please don't expel me."
Roan shook his head, easing his worries as he replied, "I'm not going to kick you, boy. In fact, I'm very interested in this element of yours. Why don't you tell me how you found out about it? Do you know what you're capable of?" Roan knew Zuo was in the Spiritual Vision Stage of the Body Transformation Realm, so he should be able to control a little bit of his Spiritual Energy. Only with that would he know about the peculiarity of his own Elemental Affinity.

Zuo still looked nervous. However, with Calina there, he nodded once again before he raised his hand. The little bit of Spiritual Energy he could control was used to gather that gray element right after. After that, Zuo looked around the room before pointing it at a metal bowl on the table.
*Vup!*
As if attracted by a mysterious force, the metal bowl flew in his hand's direction, being grabbed by Zuo.
Calina and Roan were surprised to see that outcome. That's because they had their Spiritual Senses activated all the time. If Zuo had used Spiritual Energy to grab the bowl, they would have felt it. However, the amount of Spiritual Energy he could control wouldn't be enough for that. Even if it was, Roan and Calina didn't feel his Spiritual Energy leaving Zuo's body at all.
"What kind of power was that?" Calina asked straight away.
Roan had an idea, though. Muttering, he asked, "Could it be magnetism?"
"Magnetism?" Both Calina and Zuo's attentions were piqued after hearing that. Obviously, even Zuo had no idea what kind of power he had. He simply knew he could do that.
Roan didn't explain. Instead, he took out several pieces of equipment from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. They were several types of metals and alloys, which were perfect for testing Zuo's power. If it was magnetism, he should be able to attract all of them, maybe just varying in force of attraction due to the metal type. "Go ahead and try to take these things with your power one by one. Make sure you keep a distance of at least three meters to check the power's strength as well."
Zuo took a deep breath and then started his work. In the end, it was as Roan imagined. Zuo was able to attract and repulse the metals as he wished. The only differences were due to each metal's varying levels of ferromagnetism. Some suffered more from it, like pure iron equipment, while others not so much. Nevertheless, it was a success.

"I guess that pretty much confirms it. Zuo's Elemental Affinity is Magnetism." Seeing Calina and Zuo's confused expression, Roan continued his explanation. "Magnetism is the type of force that acts on any metals that are ferromagnetic. If you want a more detailed explanation, you better ask Rean about it. My knowledge of this field is limited. Anyway, because magnetism wasn't a force used in the cultivation world, Rean probably never counted it when making his weapons. That's why all of them are susceptible to this power. Well, he shouldn't anyway since I doubt we would find another person with the same power as Zuo."
In the end, Calina and Zuo only looked more confused, which made Roan give up on explaining. "Anyway, you just need to understand that it works on most metals. At the very least, on most metals used for weapons, especially high-level ones."
Calina nodded and asked the most important thing. "Does that mean it is a strong element?"
Roan shook his head as he replied, "I don't know. It will all depend on how strong it can become and if he can control it or not. For example, if he tries to use the attraction force to steal someone's weapon, it would be very helpful. However, if he can't control and simply use it discriminately, chances are that he would attract a lot of debris from the surroundings. After all, a cultivator would be able to exert a lot of strength to keep his weapon at hand."
Of course, Roan knew that Spiritual Energy changed everything. "Zuo, when you try to attract something, are you able to control which one you can attract?"
Zuo pondered over it for a bit before nodding. "Yes, senior. They are...different." Zuo was still a kid, so he didn't know how to explain it well.
However, Roan understood what he meant. "You want to say that the power of magnetism you feel inside each piece of equipment is different. That's why you can select which one to control with your Spiritual Energy and Elemental Affinity. Is that correct?"
Zuo's expression brightened as he nodded vigorously. "Yes! Yes! That is what I wanted to say!"
Roan immediately understood after hearing that as he could not help but say, "Kid, you have an amazing power in your hands."
