Chapter 31 – The First Spar

*Shua**Shua*

The massive sphere of essence above Fatty slowly started to orbit around him.

“Hm, that sphere is made of water essence. Looks like this kid will awaken to the water element.”

Elias softly muttered next to Calron.

At the side, Calron intently observed Fatty’s awakening. His own awakening was unusual and bizarre, so he was curious as to how a normal awakening occurred.

“Master, how long does a normal awakening take?”

Raising a curious eyebrow at his student’s question, Elias simply answered.

“It should be over in a few minutes. As soon as he absorbs that essence, his core should be stabilized.”

Calron gave a noncommittal nod and focused his attention back on Fatty. It seemed as if his awakening really was different from everyone else’s. Fatty did not seem to be going through any pain right now, but Calron clearly remembered the agony he had went through when he awakened to the lightning element.

Meanwhile, the water essence above Fatty started to be slowly consumed into his body like a vacuum. Faint tendrils of cyan colored essence spread around Fatty until finally the whole ball of essence above him was completely devoured.

In a flash, Fatty opened his eyes and started laughing wildly.

“Haha, so this is how an essence feels like? Truly amazing!”

Looking at the silly boy’s antics on the ground, both Elias and Calron let out a wide smile.

“How do you feel, Roran?”

Elias questioned.

“Master, I feel incredible! Huh?”

Just as Fatty was stood up and was replying to Elias, he realized that his body had completely changed!

Fatty could actually see muscles on him!

With a gaping mouth, Fatty touched around his skin and by every second, his face grew brighter and brighter.

“This…what happened to my body?”

“Once you inherit the Blood Legacy, it will change the very constitution of your body and since your original physique was much worse than Calron, there were some obvious changes to you.”

Elias replied as he folded his hands behind him.

“Hehe, so that means I’m stronger than big brother, right?”

Fatty gloated as he glanced at Calron.

Seeing the look on his new disciple’s face, Elias felt highly amused. This will be good practice for Calron, as he will finally understand what it means to be the Prime Inheritor of the Legacy. Furthermore, in future, Calron will be the one to discipline the Inheritors.

“Oh? I agree, Roran. Why don’t you try sparring with Calron here then?”

Elias asked Fatty, while giving Calron a secret wink to the side.

Seeing the amused look on his Master’s face, Calron knew what Elias wanted from him.

Although he did not want to put down Fatty’s spirits, he could not remain silent anymore and pretend to be weak. It was one thing to hide the Blood Legacy from outsiders, but now as Fatty was a part of it as well, there was no need to hide his true Martial strength!

Elias knew that Calron had been disgruntled with hiding his strength while taking abuse from others, so this spar with a fellow disciple would finally remove all those constraints. Since Fatty was just a normal Inheritor of the Blood Legacy, his body was not put under as much stress as Calron, so he should be in his prime condition even after the vigorous transformation.

Giving a wide smile to Fatty in front of him, Calron cracked his knuckles as he slowly walked towards him.

“Yo, Fatty! Why don’t you show me your new awesome strength?”

As Fatty saw Calron walking towards him, he immediately started drawing source energy from the legacy’s pool.

“Hehe, big brother, I will be more than happy to!”

Fatty was completely oblivious to the previous sarcasm in Calron’s voice and continued to be arrogant.

Feeling all the physical changes in his body and the surge of power that his newly awakened core provided, Fatty felt truly invincible! However, if he had noticed the mischievous glint in Calron’s eyes, things might have gone a bit differently.

Sensing the powerful energy fluctuations around Fatty, Calron was momentarily surprised as Fatty was definitely a lot stronger than an average First rank elementalist, but in the end, that level of power was still nothing against him.

Calron had been diligently cultivating everyday since he broke through the Third rank, and he had long ago solidified his base at that rank, and was now closer to breaking into the next rank!

This kind of cultivation speed, along with his extremely pure liquid essence was already a terrifying existence within his age group!
