The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 435- Caught In The Crossfire

Seeing how easily he conjured this second-grade rune, Sol thought that his mastery of runes had been improving quite a bit. He didn’t have to put much thought into his hand signs when conjuring second-grade runes anymore.

Even mid-grade runes of the fourth grade only need him to concentrate a little bit.

’If I can incorporate Runes and Formations while fighting my battle strength should increase by a noticeable amount.’

After seeing Quilt reinforce his body with magic circles, Sol had been pondering a way to use runes like that. However, it’ll be different from how the Barbarian Race carved runes onto their flesh and bones to create Runic Techniques and cultivate their fleshly bodies.

His fist and kicks should contain several more kilograms of raw power if he did this while continuing to use his Fist Intent. This should also make up for the fact that his Wood Aether Energy couldn’t boost his attacks while fighting. No, it might even surpass that boost in power.

Thinking this, Sol got a bit excited. He wondered how stronger a punch or kick from him would be when compared to cultivators of a similar realm.

’I never visited the Academy’s training grounds before but there should be a device that can give an accurate reading of my current strength.’

Now that Sol thought about it, he still didn’t know how strong he was after leaving seclusion. His battle with Cian in his Necropolis Domain gave him a rough idea, but there was a distinction in strength between him using his two bloodlines and him not using them that he needed to know.

This was especially true when the Two Continent Tournaments was about to start in two weeks.

Sol decided he would visit the Academy training grounds and make some last-minute improvements.

He couldn’t say he wasn’t feeling the pressure.

He didn’t only have to face Byeong-ho but there was that cheeky brat Althorne, and that odd duo Altair and Quilt.

Cian was also someone to look out for, however, given that the first stage of the Tournament had them fighting in factions, they might be on the same side, including Ushi and Yoon-Jae.

Mar-Dule was the other person he should be looking out for.

"This should be interesting."

Sol unintentionally muttered with a smile on his lips.

"What should be interesting?"

Mar-Yue suddenly asked.

"Uhh... I mean it should be interesting now that I’m finished."

Sol said as he dropped the washcloth in the bucket at his side and looked at his handy work.

"Good, if you’re finished then carry me over there."

Mar-Yue reached out her hands.

Upon hearing that Sol’s brows slightly furrowed in worry.

"Are you still feeling fatigued?"

Sol had done everything to heal Mar-Yue’s exhaustion but even now she had trouble walking.

"It can’t be helped, it’s not like your healing can recover my bloodline exhaustion. Rather, it’s amazing that it had some effects, I thought I had to stay in bed for the next couple of days of using that Runic Technique."

Sol bent down and lifted Mar-Yue before walking over to the pool of water. His steps caused the steam coming from the pool of water to stir as he approached.

"What kind of Runic Technique is it?"

Sol asked as he walked down the few steps into the pool. Water splashing about could be heard echoing in the washroom.

The pool of water wasn’t that deep, it reached just above his waist. However, Sol carried them to the shallow edge next to where the opening showing the starry night sky was.

Silver moonlight radiance showed down on both of them as they sat down.

"It’s a Runic Technique that’s been passed down in our Bloodline Tribe, it was created by Ancestor Mar-Tu himself. Even though the backlash after using it is severe, it’s important for me to learn."

"Why is that?"

Mar-Yue placed her head on Sol’s shoulder as she responded.

"It’s able to stimulate our Giant Race bloodline. It’s also because of this that I’m the only one in our Tribe who currently cultivates it, even Eldest Sister isn’t cultivating it. As for that idiot, he said he already has his Runic Technique, so he won’t switch to it. However, Father and the Elders have been laying the foundation of this Runic Technique since I was born so I can cultivate it more easily when I enter the Spiritual Realm. It would be hard for brother if he started cultivating it now. I suppose his choice is correct."

As Sol silently listened to Mar-Yue with her head on his shoulder, he recalled that Mar-Dule had said the two twin siblings hadn’t met until they were eight years old. That must have been when they were laying the foundation for this Runic Technique. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"It’s no wonder Father-in-law was so against us being together. They worked so hard for you to awaken their lost bloodline only to face the possibility of never passing it on."

"That’s in the past, plus it’s fine if it isn’t passed down to our kids, brother will be responsible for that. I even overheard him telling Father he found someone."

Mar-Yue suddenly turned slightly and wrapped her hand around Sol’s torso.

Sol instinctively lifted his hand and wrapped it around her shoulder, but he was currently in shock.

"Mar-Dule has someone?"

Sol suddenly blinked.

"Who is it?"

Mar-Yue’s brows furrowed slightly.

"He says it’s one of Jianghu’s Four Fairies, the mysterious Dark Fairy, but he’s probably lying. Even father doesn’t believe him."

Sol stayed silent as he recalled what Mar-Dule had told him back at the public baths, about how he had become a real man.

Sol couldn’t help but scratched his cheek and laughed inwardly.

Suddenly, Sol glanced down at Mar-Yue lying against his chest.

For some reason, his lower half decided now was the time to show a reaction.

Mar-Yue was less than pleased, since having been so close she almost got caught in the crossfire if not for the towel around Sol acting as a sturdy shield...
