Chapter 1536  The Path To Enhance One’s Soul Is Agonizing

And the training began, the Frost Queen’s teachings and the Fox Venerable Classes started at the same time, we divided the whole group into two for each one, and then they would take turns between both Venerable as the days ended.

Of course, there were also “special” classes where the Venerables couldn’t help much, that included my Benladann, Miranda, Benladra, and Kate. And of course, to an extent me. Although the Frost Queen said I would still be taking some ice magic classes from her.

I watched Tisha and a few others sitting cross-legged over the grasslands close to my frost castle inside of my Divine Realm, gritting her teeth and doing her best to let out her Divinity. The first step to transform and awaken its powers was to make their Divinity move and shape to the wielder’s will.

A tiny hand almost materialized out of it before she lost focus and began gasping for air, Tisha’s entire body was sweating, and she even started coughing a lot.

“Uuggh… Cough, this isn’t easy! Holy shit, so much concentration is needed…” Tisha complained.

“I told you to not lose focus.” The Frost Queen slammed her head with a karate chop, pushing Tisha into the ground. “Again!”

“Ouch! Ugh, okay, okay!” Tisha complained, the other students were doing their best to not be karate chopped in the head. They weren’t as confident over their skull’s toughness. In the other side of the grasslands, near the flower fields where we grew many Divine Treasures of low grade used for medicinal purposes, mostly the ingredients for my Dragon Elixirs, the Fox Venerable was helping everyone improve their souls.

I had already designed two forms of the Soul Forging Ability, the dragon one and for all people. The Dragon one without the necessity for light dragon bloodline had a 50% decrease in speed and effectiveness, while the one for everyone had a 70% drop, it was still very usable.

Belle happily took its divine rune structure and merged them with her own techniques, which she was now teaching to everyone by handling them tablets with the whole divine runic inscription, resembling seven magic circles with many runes of all shapes and forms.

The tables were glowing brightly as everyone imbued Divine Power and Mana into them, they were named “Ritual Tablets” and were very precious Divine Artifacts she had crafted, which could contain Ritualistic Divine Runic Circles, which would activate on any person wielding it.

The circle spun around on the white tablets, unleashing its effects, golden lights encompassing everyone’s souls. They started to slowly surge with Soul Power from their bodies, resembling golden flames.

“Alright, seems to be working. The first lesson is Soul Tempering.” She smiled viciously, her sharp claws quickly cutting through the soul of Surtr right in front of her.

SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! action

“AARRGH!”

Surtr screamed in agony, his soul turned red like flames as it agonized, the soul pieces falling into the floor only for Belle to grab them, and slowly compress them into her hands in the form of a Golden Soul Pill through her advanced Alchemy Magic.

“It hurts, right? You held on well enough.” Belle nodded. “Now eat it back. This will be our process. Your souls will undergo severe damage and pain, and then regenerate by eating these pills. I have more over here, they’re made out of Souls compressed through Alchemy. It’s going to hurt a lot, so prepare yourselves. I won’t blame you if you want to forfeit, the path of enhancing one’s soul is arduous and agonizing.”

However, despite her warning, nobody decided to leave, Surtr was still gasping for air, while he ate the golden pill. The wounds on his soul quickly regenerated, as if nothing had happened. However, he felt different, the parts where the soul had been wounded, and then healed back, had grown at least three percent larger.

“My soul grew stronger?” He was shocked. “S-So this is how it works… Alright, bring it on.”

“Fufu, you have spirit.” Nodded Belle, she was really enjoying this. “Very well~”

I remember how she did the same thing to me, but even worse. It was when I stole her inheritance by “accident”, and she constantly tore apart my soul and then healed it back. Dream Magic is not just about dreams, it has a very close connection to souls themselves, because Dreams are quite literally the realm where only souls can wander. Therefore, it is only natural the Venerable of Dreams is the most knowledgeable about souls.

As these two classes were ongoing, there was something else going on right at my side. Benladann and Miranda were constantly pouring their Chaotic energies out of their hands as I had instructed them, forcing themselves to their limits until they dropped half-dead on the grass, and then they absorbed it all back.

“Oh man, this is tough…” Miranda complained.

“We have to keep going, Miranda.” Said Benladann. “Alright, again!”

“Ugh, wait! Have mercy!” Miranda cried. This was a training so they could learn to resist the pressure the chaotic energies put into their soul. After they get a hang on this, they’re going to move into manipulation training. Meanwhile, Benladra, Kate, and I were training on something else, I was helping them manipulate Draconic Energy, the unique essence born from the power of a Divine Dragon Soul.

Both of them are dragons, so it should be natural for them to have it. However, they had little idea on how to even manipulate it or even bring it out of their souls. Both were currently on their Dragon Forms, resting in front of me, I was also on my natural Divine Ice Dragon King form, which I thought was my “true base form” even though I could take many at this point.

“Alright girls, as we talked. Close your eyes. I will access your souls with mine and prompt your Draconic Energy to surge.” I explained them. “When you finally feel it coming out, grasp it with your divine power and mana, and try to shape it into a small dragon head. Alright? I’ll begin.”

“I’m ready papa!”

“Okay, ready.”
