《Black Ice》Chapter 13
Advertisement
After Talking to his granduncles and understanding the status of the Bing clan in the Divine plain, Heise was surprised.
Apparently every high ranking clan and sect has a powerful ancestor. Every single one of those ancestors has Ascended in God city, that's why the city was named that way. Heise had a very vague understanding of Ascencion. He didn't understand the level of cultivation needed to reach Ascencion and what lies beyond that.
He coudln't help but keep those thoughts in mind for the future. His goal right now is to become more powerful and take revenge of his father, but he realized that if he completed that goal he would have nothing left to do. So he strived for cultivation, since it was the only thing that would keep him from boredom. This world relied on strength, the stronger one is the higher the status. Being able to travel a world like this has been Heise's dream for the longest time, leaving those bad memories behind.
He spent time with Lukas learning martial arts. He learned that martial arts were different from earth. Each and every action contained Heavenly energy, these Techniques were called Heavenly Arts. Thanks to those arts Heavenly energy could be turned into a powerful weapon. Some techniques turn heavenly energy into Elements like fire, water, e.t.c.
Since the Bing Clan Specialized in Ice Attribute, it had Ice attribute Techniques. However Heise stil didn't know what kind of abilities his awakening would give him. Thanks to that they had to test his element affinity. Element affinity is something that every cultivator had to test, so they could actually know what the greatest Element for them was.
The elements Are Water, fire, Earth, metal, Air, Ice, HellFire, Darkness, Light, Abyss, Creation. However these aren't the only elements. There are people who have awakened an element unique to them, elements that exist normaly in nature. Fire and water are natural enemies, this goes for ice and hell fire as well. On the other Hand Earth and Metal go well together but also counter eachother in some ways. Water and ice go well together since they are made from the same material, while HellFire is stronger than Fire. Darkness and light are Polar Opposites, but still being from the same source, since light and darkness are the same.
Creation and abyss though are a deferent story. People born with these attributes are extremely rare and almost non-existant. It would be a miracle if a child with one of these aptitudes was born every 1000 years, in all races except Two, The Void Creatures and the Spirits. These Two races are born through those Attributes, thanks to that they have a really high affinity for them. Creation is an attribute that creates and controls life, while abyss is total destruction.
"Okay Heise, come here and touch these glass sphere, lets see what kind of attributes you have." Said Lukas with a smile. He had taken a liking to Heise. He was a mild child with a lot of intrest in the world. Although he seems indifferent most of the times, that wasn't the case. In fact He realized that Heise's face was normaly like that, emotionless, which added another charm to his adorable face.
"Yes!" Said Heise with enthusiasm while placing his hand on the glass shpere.
A bright light emitted from the Sphere, blinding Heise. Lukas seemed fine as he looked at the sphere, his eyes concentrated, trying to find the outcome before the results even came out. He had high hopes for Heise when it came to aptitude, since his lineage had a very high aptitude for Ice.

The shpere changed colors many times. However It finally landed in a completely black color. Lukas Looked at the sphere in stupifaction. He had never seen a black element before, even the darkness element was usually just a black string, but making the whole sphere black? It was his first time seeing something this bizarre.
However it didn't stop there. The color changed once again, spliting into Two colors. Half was Ligh blue and the other half was red. lukas focused on the changing colors, as his eye's shone in amazement. The colors split once more, going from red and light blue to red, blue, yellow As they once again combined turning the sphere white. Lukas was slack jawed, he couldn't believe it. The colors of the sphere cycled between those phases, spliting from white, to red yellow, blue then back to red and Ligh blue, then back to black.
Lukas had no idea what elements these were, since usually there would on only be small hair like strands with the color of the element. But heise on the other hand had the whole sphere switch colors. He infored Wuzu and John on this matter. Wuzu had just finished his paper work so he rushed over, on the other hand John was resting, so he rushed over as well.
They both looked at the sphere, shock evident on their faces. Wuzu frowned as he pondered. Heise finally released his hand from the crystal, making the phenomenon stop. He had no what color the sphere had, since he was blinded by the light, but he could tell that things weren't normal from the expressions of the elders.
"So what elements are good for me?" Asked Heise, still being confused.
The Three frowned in contemplation. They weren't clear on the elements that were displayed. Lukas, who had been there for the longest amount of time opened his mouth and said " Well, i saw The ice element, but there are weird ones inside as well. Im not sure."
Wuzu nodded on that comment. He did indeed see the ice attribute. However the changing of colors made this more complicated. He thought about a matter in their clan. He had seen by the record of the ancestors that the Creator of the Bing Clan had a similar phenomenon when testing his element affinity. However there were some differences, The Ancestor of the bing clan had a black sphere appearing as well, however it split only to Light blue and blue and stoped there.
"You probably have a few unique attributes, one of the is ice oriented for sure. Its probably much more powerful than normal Ice. But when it comes to the others, i have no idea. We will have to test them after you awaken." Said John. Altough john was an alchemist, his knowledge on the elements was the greatest in the Branch. Lukas and Wuzu nodded on that comment.
"Well since thats the case, Heise you should train with Lukas for now. From now on We will Be having you train With Lukas and John Daily. Also How long do you need till you rich Six ?" Said wuzu.
"7 Months!" Said heise.
"Well then, lets get into training, all the other young geniuses from the other races are ahead of you, so you need to be better Heavenly arts and Brains. Just so You know Training isn't going to be easy" Said Lukas with a grin.

Heise nodded and took off to the training feild. Lukas followed right behind him, while John and Wuzu left to do their own things.
"Ok lets start with the basics of Heavenly Arts. When it comes down to it you really dont need heavenly energy to Execute a Heavenly Art, rather it comes from The natural energy of your body, but a high cultivation helps a lot with it a as well. This Is a Technique for an ice style Heavenly art, Its called [Ice Crane], If im correct your father taugh you the [Divine Dodging Crane]." Lukas handed over a scroll to Heise. It looked like it was made from some sort of Metal, however it was really soft like Leather.
"Yes, father did teach me the [Divine Dodging Crane]" Said Heise.
Lukas nodded and continued "Well the [Divine Dodging Crane] Is an ElementLess, which means it has no attributes. Anyone can learn thanks to that. However this makes it weaker than a Attribute Based Art. I'll Give you Half an hour to read and comprehend the [Ice Crane] Once that Half an hour is past, ill test your results, dont disapoint me kid."
Heise Took the Scroll and started reading. After the first read he closed his eyes, trying to comprehend everything. Lukas looked Heise and shook his head. [Kid you aren't going to understand it in just one read, even for me it took around 20 read throughs to understand it completely] Thought Lukas.
However Before he realized Heise Had already gotten up and performed a stance. Luka's Eyes went wide in shock, he didn't expect him to understand the scroll in under a minute. Heise emitted a light blue aura from his whole body, as he disapeared from the spot he was and appeared 100 meters away. He was surprised by the sheer speed. It was at least Twice as fast as the [Divine Dodging Crane].
Lukas nodded, he was quite pleased. Such a Great talent appeared in their Clan, even his Latent talent isn't Great in the future, just his Comprehension would be enough for him to become a War general, or a Divine Teacher.
Heise Let out a breath, since the Art was Heavy for him at the moment. He turned around and asked Lukas a question he wanted to ask for a while. "Uncle lukas, Can you tell me more about Grandpa and you guys?"
Lukas smiled and said "Well Lets start with our situation. We are a distinct Bloodline of the Bing clan, we come from the main line of decent. We moved here because Its easier for us to cultivate and not bother with the matters of the clan. Your Uncle and cousins are all in the main clan. About Wuzu though, his talents are the greatest among the Three of us and since me and John dont have children or are even married in that case, wuzu is the only one that has continued the main line. He is known as the Ice demon, thanks to the Heavenly art he created himself, which turns him into an ice like demon. He is one of the most powerful Godly Hands. On the other hand im known as the Ice Lord and John is known as the Ice Alchemist. In fact these will probably be our tittles when we reach tittled godly hand. Wuzu Specializes in The sword and is known for his fierce Personality, im known for my Heavenly Arts and Johgn is known for his alchemy."
"Grandpa is known for his fierce personality?" Asked Heise. He had never seen his grandpa beeing fierce or evenangry at that, but he guessed it was probably becuase he just came.
"Indeed" Said Lukas. "In fact, he has killed a lot of people, thanks to that his is known as the Ice demon." He continued.
Heise was surprised. He still had the mentaly from his previous world, so killing people wasn't something he wanted to do normaly. In fact it was hard for him to even kill the masked people, since he though that every life was precious, or at least that what he was taught.
"Well thats enough information for now, ill give you some scrolls to study. I want the learned by tomorrow. You should go to John now, everyday we will follow this routine." Said Lukas.
Heise Nodded and grapped the scrolls, taking off to John's lab. What John taught him was Chemistry and alchemy. Although they are similar, alchemy is quite different in a sense that it contains Heavenly Energy and the Physics of this world. Time passed really fast while they were both creating Potion and experimenting with new ideas. John was surprised by Heise's knowledge on Chemistry and the fundementals of Physics, so he quite enjoyed teaching Heise. He quickly learned that Heise was taking in everything like a sponge, making him even more surprised. After some time passed Heise had to leave, which made John reluctant. Heise Went to bed That day with wide smile. It was one of the best days of his life.
A girl Was sitting in her balcony. She looked around the age of 6. Although she was only 6 her charm would dwarf any other woman. Her red Hair was waving in the wind. She had big beautiful green eyes.
A woman walked in. She had Red Hair just like the little girl, but her charm was much more mature than the girl. She looked like a maden that just came from heaven, her looks blinding any man.
"Little Luo, you should reconsider this matter. The boy is really handsome you know and he is from the main branch of the bing clan as well, so his talent shouldn't be worse than yours" said the woman.
The little girl frowned at the womans words as she angrily turned around and shouted "Grandma let me alone! Ill decide my own marriage! Stop being so annoying!"
"common Luo, you shouldn't be like that. Im trying to find the most suitable partner for you. Our bloodline cant end like this and you also have a pheonix constitution, i dont want to waste your time with such things such as finding a good Fiance for you." said the woman.
The girls frown turned worst as she refused to take part in this conversation in any way.
"Well i guess we will find out about you Two After Little Heise awakens we will be having a banquette at the bing clan." said the woman with a grin.
The little girl pouted as she left.

Four years of business college and two good friends and a dream of developing real power armor just to cosplay as a space marine. Of course when you got millions and no real drive for anything else after two divorces. You make it happen. All David had to look forward to was his five minutes of fame as an extra to the next Halo game presentation. They expected him to wear cheap cosplay. Instead, he brought about a million dollars of gear with him. All David expected was five minutes of fame before he turns into a bachelor shut-in for the rest of his life. Instead, the Universe got an update. Witness the rise of the Order of the Free Wardens. Witness the rise of the council of races. Witness the legend of the Dreadnaught. Greetings, I am Zalex.
