Child of Destiny-Chapter 834 Aftermath (Part 1)

Inside the room, Shin was currently meditating under the special Method of 'Jade Kirin Scripture' to recover his strength.

According to Grandmaster Benn, the Meditation Method of 'Jade Kirin Scripture' was way better than his 'Four Symbol Scripture', so he suggested Shin use it during his mediation session instead of his own technique.

No matter how well-rounded the 'Four Symbol Scripture', there were still some areas that it couldn't cover. His Mentalism Method specialized in battle, rune enhancement, talisman creations, and formation formulas. This was already a lot compared to most of the Mentalism Methods around the world.

On the other hand, the 'Jade Kirin Scripture' was rather peculiar. It solely focused on calming techniques and harmonization. It didn't even have a lot of offensive methods, rather it recorded a series of Mentalism Chants that were usually used for meditation.

But it didn't mean that the 'Jade Kirin Scripture' didn't have an offensive technique. It instead focused on mental attacks rather than physical techniques that a Kaleidoscope Mentalist had. This scripture was much better than the 'Four Symbol Scripture' in this aspect.

This was why Grandmaster Benn suggested Shin use this particular scripture whenever he was meditating. Not only it could help strengthen his mind better than the 'Four Symbol Scripture', but it could also help him nurture his Spiritual Avatar and brought it to an even greater height.

Due to how good the Jade Kirin Scripture was in terms of spirituality training, Old Benn was inspired to formulate a new training method for Shin. He combined the Spiritual Methods of the two scriptures and created a brand-new training method that almost made him want to relearn Mentalism from the start.

He almost got jealous of Shin because he was able to train his Spiritual Avatar and grew his Niwan Palace with such an amazing training method. But at the same time, Old Benn was also happy for his student since the young man would have a better starting point than him when he was still starting to learn Mentalism.

Shin couldn't help but feel a little strange due to the absence of the Internal Qi within his body. But at the same time, he also got a better understanding of how to circulate his Mental Energy throughout his system.

Before, he was using his Internal Qi to strengthen his body. And with the help of his breathing, he was using his Dantian as the center of the energy before circulating them through his meridians.

It was also using the principle of 'being one with nature'. Nature was everything and being part of everything would make you become everything itself.

This was the root of every Martial Art which gave birth to countless philosophies and teachings which became the foundation of Martial Arts around the world.

Different from this, Mentalism came from the spirit. Everything had a spirit and the spirit was connected to the universe.

The mind was as vast as the Universe, and the universe was everything. By putting the will at the center of the universe, it would become the will of heaven and earth.

Martial Art borrowed the Force of Nature and stored it at one's Dantian before using it to temper the body and mind of a Martial Artist.

On the other hand, Mentalism became the center of nature. The 'spirit' was connected to the universe and the Mentalist used it to nurture their entire being.

They were two different disciplines and were using different methods, but both of them were connected to heaven and earth.

Shin understood this the more he explored his Mentalism. And with the knowledge that he already had, tempering his body with Mental Energy became more natural.

Instead of using his Dantian as the core, he was using his Niwan Palace as the center of everything.

He already learned this before, but since he was more familiar with the tempering method of Martial Arts, he preferred using it over the method of Mentalism.

Moreover, his 'Spiritual Embryo' special physique was able to strengthen itself without his help since it could just absorb his Mental Energy naturally.

Shin slowly woke up from his meditation and opened his eyes before looking at the gentle glow that his body was emitting.

He opened and closed his palms and felt the strength that his body was carrying. He could also sense the healing process of his meridians. They were recovering much faster compared to earlier.

After that, he did a couple of light exercises to relieve the stiffness that his body had before going back to his bed.

He looked at the clock and saw that it was still a little early for him to go back to the game. There were a lot of o things that happened to him today which made him feel that a couple of days had passed.

Shin stared at the ceiling and wondered. "My body is still in the middle of recovering, so excessive training is out of the question. The same for my Spirit since it needs some time to recover before I can continue strengthening it."

"Tsk! I don't have anything better to do for now," he muttered before standing up and opening a virtual screen through his Advance Watch. "Let's take a look at what happened inside the game then."

...…

In the official forums of ?Destiny's Fate? online, a series of different articles were posted.

Shin browsed at the titles for a moment before opening the least interesting topic but had a lot of views due to its eye-catching title.

"Wing's Alliance were DEFEATED."

With such a highlighted word, it was pretty impossible to ignore such a topic.

The Wing's Alliance was supposedly the favorite and the expected winner of the war between them and the HeadHunter Guild.

There were a lot of factors listed for them to win.

First, they were supposed to have more resources compared to the opposing side since they were one of the major powers controlling the resource maps around the Holy City.

And on top of this, the battlefield where the war occurred was within their controlled territory so they were supposed to have a topographical advantage.

They also had more manpower since everyone knew that the headquarters of the HeadHunter Guild refused to send any reinforcement. After all, this was the last chance that the Guild Leader of the Saint Heaven Kingdom branch had.

But despite all of the odds going against them, the HeadHunter Guild still managed to prevail in the end, which made their victory a little dramatic.

Usually, a lot of players would despise the HeadHunter Guild due to the bad reputation that they had. Moreover, a lot of their members were always using despicable methods when playing the game, especially scamming and blackmailing people.

But surprisingly no one did it this time.

It was because they won this war fair and square. The tactics and strategies that the HeadHunter Guild had showcased during the war were amazing. They used their most skilled players pretty efficiently and even diverse a very elaborate plan centered around them.

There were quite a lot of critics and strategical experts who broke down the plan and strategies that the powerhouses had used during the war. And in every aspect, the HeadHunter Guild would always come to the top and won despite being at a disadvantage.

The players enjoyed watching it and even said that the guild was actually not that bad.

Aside from that, Cruelty's speech after the war made the viewers look at them in a new light. He said that the HeadHunter Guild would not focus on developing for the better future, at least on the Saint Heaven Kingdom Branch.

They would also impose another rule for their members that would forbid them from doing any despicable acts. They were also going to kick the members that were proven guilty of their hideous acts.

Then, they would be opening the gates of their Guild to recruit more players who were willing to be part of this reformation.

His speech was good and all, but it made the main and other branches of the guild look evil. And naturally, the high-ranking members and elders of the Guild would be displeased.

But no matter how much they hate Cruelty and his speech, they couldn't do anything to punish him or strip his position.

His reputation right now was pretty high, so it would do them more harm than good if they attempted to demote him or gave him any kind of punishment.

Moreover, it was also true that they didn't send any reinforcement during the war due to the consecutive failures that he committed previously.

If ever, they owed him an apology rather than a punishment. But their pride would never allow that to happen, so they would choose to give Cruelty a bountiful reward for his achievement and earn themselves positive feedback from the guild members rather than become a symbol of embarrassment.

Shin nodded his head in satisfaction after reading the detailed article about that war. Everything went according to the plan, what was left was to reap the rewards that he earned from it.

"Big Sis Shiella will surely handle everything properly, so I don't have to worry about that," muttered Shin as he planned to let his big sister collect the promised rewards from the agreement that he made with Cruelty.

"Now we have extra funds for the construction of the City. And the only thing left is to clear that annoying Empire Quest from Arthur," he added as he thought that the quest was as annoying as his brother.

After that, he proceeded to read the other articles and immediately frowned his brows after seeing the next topic.
