With Xiao Wu.

While they were heading towards a rather barren piece of land near they ran into Zhao Wu Ji who nearly kidnapped Tachi.

"Teacher Zhao what are you doing? let me tell you that I am a clone so I can't take any hits"(Tachi)

"Can you advise me on something?"(Zhao Wu Ji)

"Yes what is it teacher Zhao?"(Tachi)

"Can you advise me on the elemental change?"(Teacher Zhao)

"I thought dad was teaching the teachers?"(Tachi)

"He is! it's just that I feel some thing is lacking when ever I change my spirit power into rocks"(Zhao Wu Ji)

Tachi thought for a while

"Teacher Zhao I can't advice you because each spirit and person is different but I will be advising Xiao Wu and she has the same element as you so maybe you can find some inspiration if you observe us?"(Tachi)

Zhao Wu ji nodded.

Hence the trio went to the land and Zhao Wu Ji stood in a distance observing them.

"Sis Wu I think you know how to convert your spirit power into earth attribute right? So why don't you do it"(Tachi)

Xiao Wu nodded brought out her spirit power closed her eyes concentrated and after a few minutes turned it into small rocks.

Xiao Wu looked at the rocks displeased as if they stole some thing from her.

"Sis did the rocks steal something from you?"(Tachi)

"They did they stole my self confidence!"(Xiao Wu)

"Why tho you did change your spirit power? and they are genuine rocks"(Tachi)

"That's not it Tachi it feels like something is missing from it I don't know what it is but something is missing from it"(Xiao Wu)

"Sis what is the name of the attribute I told you to convert it into?"(Tachi)

"Earth"(Xiao Wu)

"What is the characteristics of earth?"(Tachi)

"It's hard, dirty and made of rocks?Ouch!"(Xiao Wu whose head was hit by a chop)

"The earth is caring,life giving, patient, supportive and forgiving and most importantly it is very vibrant unlike the other elements it has many many characteristics.So,this time when you convert your spirit power into earth I want you to channel your happiest feelings and remember to tap into your happy memories too and your strongest feelings as well."(Tachi)

Zhao Wu Ji got what he came for so he left right then.

Xiao Wu held the orb of spirit power to her chest and then concentrated on her memories she remembered the Time she spent with her mother.The Time she spent with Tang San. The Time with Tang San and Tachi.Her short but sweet time in shrek and the devils.She remembered her love for Tang San and her regret of not being able to save her mother and when she opened her eyes she was surrounded by beautiful crystals of different colours.

She then heard clapping and she spotted Tachi sitting on one of the crystals.

"Tachi is this really the earth attribute?"(Xiao Wu)

Tachi word less ly handed her a spirit element testing paper she understood what he ment and channeled her spirit power into it and the Yin-Yang symbol was the same as before but now the earth element was almost gone and in it's place a crystal symbol appeared.

"Let's call this phenomenon 'Elemental-Awakening' shall we Student Wu congratulations on awakening your Advance element.It is called crystal style or the crystal element.It is a combination of Earth and Yin It has a speciality called animation you can animate any crystal by giving it proper shape and commands meaning you can bring your crystals to 'life'"(Tachi in his professor outfit)

Xiao Wu was about to reply when

"Wow! these crystals are so beautiful!"(Ning Rongrong dragging oscar who was holding a book by the collar)

"Ah! student Rong perfect timing do congratulate Student Wu on her 'element-awakening' but do tell how much would these crystals sell for if put in the market "(Tachi)

With Ma Hongjun.

For ma Hong Juns training they actually left the academy with permission of course and came to a mountain deserted area where nothing was flamable.

"Brother Jun this is what I promised you"(the clone giving him a scroll)

"You are free to access the recipes but if you want to read the information you need to encase the scroll in your flames without burning it"(Tachi)

"Tachi!"(Ma Hongjun sounded betrayed)

"You think that it is impossible is that it?"(Tachi sounding pissed)

Ma Hongjun got frightened because Tachi never got angry, annoyed sure but angry no.

Tachi went and grabbed a stick and used the flames to completely encase it, the flames were so dense that it was impossible to see the stick he held it for a few minutes and then looked at Ma HongJun.

"Let me tell you something brother Jun you have more talent than me,Tang San and Xiao Wu combined when it comes to cultivating and when it comes to flames so much so that it makes me feel jealous.And I can no longer tolerate you goofing around because no matter if you know of your heritage or not there are a certain group of people who will hunt you down regardless of you affiliation or background and when such a day comes will you hid behind my back? or someone else's back? no, you won't, your spirit won't let you. So if you want to know about your heritage either complete my challenges or confront principal Flender. Either way I have no will to help a phoenix that has clipped its own wings and broken it's beak and claws"(The clone dropping the stick and popping)

After the clone disappeared Ma Hong Jun looked at the stick despite being encased in such a strong flame it had no damage or signs of burning, it was hot sure but it was not burnt.

Ma Hong Jun clenched his fists he was scared of the principal, he was scared to find out what happened to his parents,Scared that if he ever asked he would lose the only family he has come to know that has accepted him for who he is.The more scared he got the more unstable his spirit got and the more he ate.

Tachis words and deeds were a wake up call for him he understood he could no longer limit himself.

Ma HongJun skipped lunch and dinner and choose to cultivate.
