Chapter 19 - 19. Studying II

Third person POV

Bai Huiqing was reading a book when Hong er knocked on her door. " Come in" Hong er entered and sit in front of Bai Huiqing.

Bai Huiqing: ' She was the Selected One, maybe she can use all of the elements? I need to test it out.'

Bai Huiqing: " Hong er, do you feel any kind of connection with the elements out there?"

Hong er: " I do, they like to play with me."

Bai Huiqing: " Is that so? Follow me."

Bai Huiqing stood up and took Hong er's hand, they went to a lake in a forest behind Xu residence. Bai Huiqing instructed the maids to stand further.

Bai Huiqing: " Hong er, gods and spirits has their own personalities, they lent you their element's magic. So you have to build a good relationship with the nature. If you upset the gods or the spirits, they won't let you use their magic. There are some people who tried to slave their spirits, but their action angered the god of the spirits. All their family was killed, their house and money disappeared, and the god threw them to the deepest hell. So the first thing you have to do is connect with the nature. Now close your eyes, feel your surroundings."

Hong er closed her eyes, she took a deep breath. She felt a relaxing aura around her, there are different auras enveloping her. Bai Huiqing looked at Hong er, she felt a strong aura around Hong er.

Bai Huiqing: " okay, now open your eyes. Watch and learn."

Bai Huiqing went to the side of the lake. She extend her hand to the front and moved her finger. Suddenly all the water in the lake became a phoenix flying in the air. Hong er was amazed by the phoenix, " WASEI" 'mother and father is really cool'. Bai Huiqing pointed her fingers downward, the phoenix fly downward and changed back into a lake. Bai Huiqing turned around and looked at the astonished Hong er.

Bai Huiqing: " You use magic with your imagination. Imagine it in your head, gather your Qi ( It is like mana)on your hand, and release it. The Qi that you release is based on the strength and size. Just like what I did before, if I put more Qi on the phoenix, the phoenix will explode when it hit the ground and it will hurt the people below. The bigger the size, the damage area will be bigger too. That's why people that are imaginative tend to have stronger control. Do you understand?"

Hong er: " Yes, mother"

Bai Huiqing: " now, try to create something with your element."

Hong er POV

I try to imagine something cool right now, hhmm, maybe a weapon would be great. So imagine a spear with wind element, put Qi on the tip of your finger, extend your hand to front. I want my spear to pierce all the way to the end of the forest, but it won't be possible hahaha. Meh, I will just try to put more Qi, there are wind swirling around me, aannnddd shoot.

' SHWOOMM'

" Eh?" (・_・;)

Third person POV

A huge transparent spear appeared beside Hong er, it was pointing to the forest in front of them. And the wind around Hong er gradually got stronger, 'SHWOOMM'. The spear launched. Only a sound of wind passed by, the forest split into halves. The trees disappeared as it got pierced, leaving only its roots and a little bit of trunk. Everyone was very shocked including Hong er herself. Bai Huiqing smiled widely and hugged Hong er.

Bai Huiqing: " Ahahaha, my cute little angel inherits my skills. I'm so proud of you. I will tell your dad about today. He will be happy too."

Hong er: "…"

Bau Huiqing: " But you have to control the amount of Qi you put in, okay?"

Hong er: " Yes, mother."

Bai Huiqing pecked Hong er's cheeks and they continue their lesson again. After 2 hours, they went back to the residence and take a bath. They happily eat their dinner, Bai Huiqing and Xu Tingfeng kept praising Hong er until she left the main hall with red face. The atmosphere suddenly got serious after Hong er left the main hall.

Bai Huiqing: " Hubby, did those sc.u.mbags know about Hong er?"

Xu Tingfeng: " No, I made sure all of his spies are dead."

Bai Huiqing: " Good, I won't let them hurt our Hong er again."

Hong er POV

I went back to my bedroom and continue to read the books that I left this morning. I read a book about magic, it says that the user of a certain element had to be close to its main element to maximize the usage of their elemental magic. If you have wood element, you have to be close to the ground, the more fertile the ground the better it is. Each element have its own weakness, just like water and fire. But there are elements which are compatible to each other, like water and earth, fire and wind.

There are some unique branch elements but the user need to have a main element. The most unique branch element is blood magic. Even though ice is the branch of water element but only water element user can do blood magic. And not all water element user can do blood magic, they have to be an expert.

There are some branch elements that was a combination of two main elements. Ice is the combination of water and wind. Lightning is the combination of wind and fire. Gravity is the combination of earth and wind, etc.

When I noticed that it had got quite late, I closed my book and put it on a table. I changed into a nightgown and blowed off the candles with wind magic. I lay on my bed and fell asleep.
