My Teacher Is Too Good For Others. So, I Decided To Marry Her.

Chapter 28: Profundity



"Chlera, are you feeling all right now?" –Olen asked.

He also came to Elena's house this morning with Petra. At the time, Chlera was burning up badly.

Now, seeing her walk about like this made him feel relief.

"I'm fine now, brother." –Chlera said.

"Did you know about this?" –Jon asked from behind.

"Yes. I came here this morning." –Olen replied.

"Why didn't you say anything before then?" –Jon asked.

"I forgot to tell you." –Olen.

"You forgot?" –How could that be? This kid is always talking about useless stuff, and when it's about important matters, he just conveniently forgets.

But before the crowd here, he didn't say a word about it. He would just find another time to put some sense into this brat.

"Madam Alden, Chlera is already fine. It would be best if you let her rest when you get back and let her drink plenty of water." –Elena told Aleta. She (E) had a good impression of her (A).

"All right, let's talk again some other time. I'll bring some sweets with me then." –Aleta bade her goodbye.

A maid carried Chlera back.

Elena liked these twins very much.

But now she has to deal with these obnoxious ones. These boys aren't cute at all. Especially, when one of them is six feet tall muscular man.

Elena just wanted to get it over with.

"Come on in." –She said. She isn't in the mood to see this burly man dance on her doorstep anymore.

.

Inside the house, Elena sat on the couch while Jon and Olen pulled a chair to sit before her.

"So, what do you want to know again?" –Elena asked again.

"Miss, the thing about how I cut the rock yesterday." –Olen replied.

He is very eager to learn about it while Jon sat there silently.

"Ok. First of all, let me get this clear. Olen, yesterday was just a fluke. You didn't suddenly get any strong or anything." –Elena poured cold water on Olen's excitement.

"But even if it's a fluke, it shows that you have potential for the ability." –Elena.

"What ability, miss?" –Olen.

"The ability to harness the power of natural law." –Elena.

"That sounds cool." -Olen blurred out.

"It is cool." -Elena nodded. "But it's not easy to do." –Elena.

"I'll work extra hard." -Olen said excitedly.

"You know heavenly energy is just the energy of the world, right?" –Elena.

"Yes."

"We cultivators just collect the heavenly energy and convert that into spirit energy of different attributes. That turns into the cultivation base for cultivators."

"The cultivation base can be divided into five major stages... Green, Yellow, Red, Black, and Gold."

"Huh, what did you say?" –Jon reacted this time.

"You said five. Not three, right?" –Jon was shocked to his core.

He had never even seen someone having a red spirit base, much less black and gold. He only heard that few in history had that type of cultivation base.

And now she is talking about even higher cultivation?

Someone with a red cultivation base could already conquer the word, right?

"Yes, but could please stop making exaggerated expressions like that." –Elena rebuked him.

Olen didn't make such an expression.

Miss Elenora always tells him stories like that. At first, he would get surprised too.

But he learned to accept it eventually.

"So, the cultivators can use this spirit energy in everything. Be it fighting or alchemy or even mundane task."

"That is much easier to control as it belongs to cultivators themselves."

"But what Olen did yesterday is different. He used the Heavenly energy directly."

"How did he do that?" –Jon couldn't help but ask.

"Everything has its own law. Heavenly energy, you can also call it the spirit energy of the world. If one wants to use it, they have to abide by the law of the world."

"We call it profundity."

"Huh, what is that? I didn't understand at all." –Jon.

"That's hard to explain. For example, Olen used the profundity of the blade, or some say the profundity of the sword yesterday. It doesn't matter what you call it."

"The fact is, he wanted the knife to cut the snake so badly that, at that very moment, his will resonated with this world law a bit. Thus empowering the normal kitchen knife into an artifact that not only severed the head of the snake but also cut through its soul." –Elena said sternly.

She discovered this when she observed the carcass of the snake Jon brought yesterday. She had to use her heaven's eye for it. But as she knew what she was looking for, she quickly found the the broken spirit and remnant of the soul.

Jon's mouth opened wide, but no sound came.

Artifacts are pricy. They are a lot different than the utensils found in the market. Now you are saying a casually thrown knife by this brat turned into an artifact that could cut souls. That's so broken.

"Don't act so surprised. It is the world law we are talking about. You don't even get to touch upon such a thing before your cultivation reaches the red spirit base." –Elena said.

"Then how did this kid manage that?" –Jon asked while grabbing Olen's head and dragging pulling his head side to side.

"I don't know that. To master the law, one needs to have an understanding of the essence that governs it. And that takes years to do so." –Elena said in a straight face.

"So, that's how it is." –Jon nodded. That means even he could do it by diligently practicing. There's no need to get too jealous.

"But as he had an opportunity like that, it would be easier for him to reach that height." –Elena said, looking at Olen.

Olen was silently listening to the conversation till now. And hearing the last sentence. He felt very elated. He still remembers, at that moment, how strong he felt.

He clenched his fist. He must master this as soon as possible.

"Miss Aniston, you can do it too?" –Jon remembers what Elena said yesterday.

"Yes." –Elena affirms.

"So, do you have a red cultivation base? And using the… 'Profundity'... doesn't it affect you." –Jon saw some issues in her explanation.

"First of all, Jon, this is some personal information you are asking."

"Second, if you blur out things like that again, I'll beat you to death." –Elena told coldly.

"Ok." –Jon directly started to sweat bucket.

"As for using Profundity, When you are proficient enough, you can do things with more precision. As, Profundity uses the heavenly energy of the outside world directly, it actually has little effect on the spirit body. It is more of using your mind and willpower to get the job done." –Elena informed.

"So, did you quench your curiosity, Jon?" –Elena asked.

Jon learned a lot today. Though he had a lot more he wanted to ask, and Elena clearly withdrew a lot in the explanation, from the speech pattern she used it is clear that that is all he is going to get out of her today.

"Yes. Mi…" -Jon wanted to ask her to have a sparring match with him sometimes.

He wanted to see Elena use her Profundity on him. It doesn't matter if he gets hurt. If he could steal even a bit of it, he could be twice as strong.

"If you are satisfied, then you should do something for me too." –Jon was cut down by Elena.

"What can I do for you, Miss?" –Jon asked dejectedly, seeing Elena wasn't planning on explaining it anymore.

"Nothing much. You know someone who can be trusted and has a shop?" –Elena asked.

"Someone who has a shop and can be trusted?" –Jon thought before confirming. "Yes, there is. Why do you ask Mam?"

"Well, I need money." –Elena.

"Huh, Didn't Madam promise to help you in that aspect?" –Jon was puzzled.

"Yes, she did. But the amount I need might not be covered by just that. So, I need a backup plan."

"Oh, all right. What do you need me to do?" –Jon.

"Well, I have a plan, and I need the help of you two for that." –Elena.

"Me too?" –Olen asked, pointing at himself.

"Yes. So Jon, bring your friend tomorrow. We need to discuss business with him." –Elena.

This time, Jon made a weird face.

"There will be a problem then." –Jon.

"Why? Can't he walk or talk or something?" –Elena.

"No, the man has a bone to pick with Olen. So, I'm not sure he will agree." –Jon.

"Who could have a problem with Baron's son in Baron's territory and still do business? Are you joking with me?" –Elena said.

Does Jon take her as a fool?

"No, Olen knows him better than me." –Jon looked at Olen.

Olen looked at Jon and then got shocked.  "Are you talking about him?" 

'This is going to be an issue.' -Olen thought seeing Jon nod.
