‘Now I need to check the stage and the nature of your dragon spiritual power, then I will assign some officers to teach you the basic spiritual method of the Dragon Master Clan: the mysterious dragon skill .

Even though the mysterious dragon skill is the most basic spiritual method, every Spirit manipulator has to cultivate it . If you cannot master the basic spiritual method, you will certainly not be able to cultivate the spiritual method at higher levels. This is especially important for royal spirit manipulators. You all know by now that the mysterious dragon skill has nine grades. After you reach the third grade, you can cultivate the spiritual marital arts according to your own nature of the dragon spiritual power. The spiritual martial arts are the skills which you can use to attack or defend in a fight.

Once your spiritual power becomes stronger, your martial arts will improve as well. You can even kill an enemy in a second, granted you are powerful enough. That is because they are founded in your own spiritual power. With your current status, you'd still be unable to break a small stone. Now, let's get to it!’ Mia finished the sentence with a brisk clap.

Six figures appeared next to her in a blink of an eye.

They were men and women who were almost thirty years old . They all emitted strong momentum, as thier levels were between the Earthly stage and the Heavenly stage.

‘ Yes, Ma'am’, the six of them said in chorus .

They were the six officers who worked for Mia .

Mia gave them a signal. A female officer came up to her holding a dark palm sized stone.

‘ This is the spiritual power detecting stone. It can test the stage and the nature of your dragon spiritual power. You only need to put your hands on it and release your power in the dragon spirit mark on your arm. Come up when I call your name’ Mia said as she took out the list that she had received by the carrier pigeon earlier that day.

‘ Tom Ma !’

‘ Yes’ the young boy raised his hand and walked up to her. He put his left hand on the spiritual power detecting stone and closed his eyes to concentrate. The dragon spirit mark showed up on his left arm.

The stone detected the dragon spiritual power, rapidly emitting a red light.

‘ The second grade of mortal stage, fire’, Mia proclaimed her experienced eyes spotting the indicators at once.

The dragon spiritual power had five kinds of nature: fire,water,wind,thunder,ice. Each one had it's own features and advantages and the five natures restrained eachother. The power of the nature depended on the power of the spirit manipulators. There were no weak natures or strong natures .

Besides, if the spirit manipulator cultivated the high leveled spiritual method arts, they could also enhance the power of thier nature.

‘ Next , Julia Roberts’

A young gurl walked up to her and released the dragon spiritual power to the spiritual power detecting stone.

‘ The first grade of mortal stage, wind’.

‘ Fiona Ji !’

‘ The third grade of mortal stage, Ice!’ Mia glanced at her after saying the gurl' s name. This one was elegant and handsomely beautiful and looked more composed than the other trainees her age.

‘ You are from the Ji clan?’ Mia asked without thinking.

Fiona hesitated for a second, then she slightly nodded before walking back to the line.

‘ Her name is Fiona Ji....’ ana had recognised that she was the arrogant gurl who bumped against her when Ana was entering the room.

‘ Mia seems to be intrested in her. Does she likes this type of gurl ? But why her? She isn't as good looking as me’, Ana thought to herself as she touched her chin.

The process went on .

Ana felt so bored that she nearly fell asleep as she dully watched at the series of detection.

‘ Amelia long’ Mia called her coldly.

Ana stood still because she did not realise that mia was talking to her. As Ana was still not used to her new identity.

The other candidates all looked at Ana and laughed at her . They knew that something unfortunate was about to happen.

‘ Amelia long!’ Seeing Ana did not answer her, Mia called her name again. At the same time, she swung her wimp violently , then a sharp wind shot towards Ana.

Ana felt as though she had been hit by a bullet in the chest. It was so painfull that she snapped back to reality at once. She rubbed her chest as she heard Mia repeat, ‘ Amelia long’.

‘ Amelia long? Oh, that's me’, Ana realised that she really had to get used to her new name! She slowly walked up to Mia.

‘ Hurry up! We don't have all day long’, Mia angrily shouted at Ana's sluggishness.

‘ Don't be so impatient women. I am scared! Why does such a beauty act like a scary tiger?’ Ana thought to herself as she looked at Mia . Ana put her hand on the spiritual power detecting stone and tried to release the dragon spiritual power in her left arm.

But the dragon spirit mark did not show up.

The other twenty nine young candidates all looked at her with scorn.

‘ No wonder she is the Princess loser!’ someone shouted loudly.

Then they all laughed.

‘ Try harder. Concentrate on the dragon spiritual power in your left arm’, Mia was confused as well .

The royal spirit manipulators were different from regular spirit manipulators. As long as they bonded with the dragon spirit bead and gotten the dragon spiritual power, they could easily release the power even if they had not learnt the spiritual method.

Releasing the power would be an instinct as involuntarily as eating or drinking!

So it was definitely not normal that Ana could not release the dragon spiritual power.

However, Mia considered something else. Compared to the rest of them, who had received specialised training at home, Amelia had never gone through anything like this . So she might have not adapted to the power she just obtained.

Ana glanced at Mia, taking a deep breath. She gulped nervously, growing determine about the detecting. She continued.

It looked like her power did not have a nature . But it never happened before. It was especially strange because the bead Ana had bonded with was the Holy Dragon Bead.

When the other trainees saw Ana's power had no nature, louder laughs came from the line .

‘ She is truly a loser. Haha , she got the dragon spiritual power, so what? Her power doesn't even have a nature!’

‘ I am confused. How does such a loser succeed in bonding with the Holy Dragon Bead!’

‘ Well, the universe certainly has a good sense of humor . Hahaha!’

Hearing the mockery, Ana was so angry that she clenched her fists.

‘ Just give up. Aren't you ashamed?’

‘ You are just a loser . Give up! You will never make it’

‘ I'd rather die if I were you ! Then the royal family won't have to be ashamed ’.

Ana frowned as a fierce fire of the anger, burner inside her body, then she suddenly felt an intense heat on her left arm . She unconciously clutched the spiritual power detecting stone.

The dragon spirit mark on her arm still did not change, but the feeling of burning grew more and more intense.

‘ Ah ! ’ Ana roared as she could not withstand the great pain anymore.

Hearing Ana's roar, everyone looked at her, puzzled.

All of a sudden, the dark clouds gathered in the sky with lighting and thunder and the wild wind blew the dust into the air.

No one knew what was happening.

Rumble!

As a loud thunder rang out, a shadow of a dragon appeared in the dark clouds. It suddenly burnt and rushed towards the ground from the thick clouds, cracking like a huge lighting bolt.

With a deafening bang, it curved a big hole near them, emitting a lot of smoke.

Everyone including Mia was all surprised by the lighting.

‘ What a strange weather ’, Mia murmured, looking at Ana who had roared just now.

Ana was now at ease since the burning heat disappeared after she roared .

‘ Loser, you won't become powerful just by roaring ’, some one sneered at Ana.

Ana turned around and saw a muscular guy looking at her with a sneer . Ana remembered that he was from the Ximen Clan, so she came up to him and said, ‘ I dare you to say that again’.

Though that guy was a head taller than Ana was and he looked much stronger than Ana .

Ana looked him in the eye without a sign of weakness.

‘ I said you are...’ seeing Ana was arrogant, that guy retorted immediately, but Mia intrupted his words , ‘ Do the two of you want to be punished?’

The guy shut his mouth at once.

Ana was staring at him angrily, but as Mia looked at her coldly, she stopped her stare and smiled at Mia before she went back to the line.

The man from the Ximen Clan stared at Ana, dragging his finger across his throat.

Ana sneered and gave him ‘ that’ finger.

The man's face flushed with anger .

‘ That's all. Now you should all know the grade and the nature of your power’, Mia said as she glanced around at the young candidates.

‘ Yes, Ma'am’, they answered in chorus.

‘ Alright. If anyone makes no progress in one month, then I have the right to kick you out without prior notice. I don't want to hear any excuses. Do you understand?’ Mia said seriously.

‘ Yes, Ma'am’ they all responded nervously. They could tell that she was not the kind to joke.

‘ Now, every team will have one officer to teach you the formulas of nine grades of the mysterious dragon skill.

You only have two hours to memorize the nine formulas. Come back here after two hours. Amelia, stay here’, Mia commanded .

The officers immediately led their team to different parts of the field and began to teach them the formulas of the mysterious dragon skill.

Mia looked at Ana as she pointed to another side of the field and said,‘ Go there and wait’

‘ Alright’, Ana replied as she wondered if Mia wanted to play tricks on her. Then she walked towards the side of the field.

Ana seemed to suddenly remember something as she reached the spot where Mia pointed. She looked at her left hand and muttered, ‘ What was that strange feeling? It felt like I want to fart but I couldn't. But after I roared, it was so relieving, although I didn't feel anything special.....’

A/n: Life can be so busy sometimes.

So my question for you today is...

Are you a introvert or extrovert in real life?

And what are you online?
