Chapter 95: Stone Wall Test!

With their incredible traveling speed, it didn't take long for them to reach the inner zone of the Mountain Region. This place didn't have another person except them.

"We should split up. You should go left to look for an energy-evolving technique suitable for me or yourself, and I will scan the stone walls on the other side." Marvin said to Fatty Liam.

"Well, sure, It will be faster that way." Fatty Liam said.

Marvin and Fatty Liam split up, each going their own way to locate a suitable technique among the various

After a few moments of scrutinizing various stone walls with energy evolving techniques in the inner zone, Marvin's eyes brightened at the sight of a stone wall.

"Fatty, come here!" He shouted.

"Coming," Liam's shout resounded from a nearby place. In few minutes, he stood beside Marvin.

"This energy evolving technique is extremely compatible with your flame ability," Marvin said while pointing at a golden stone wall that existed shadowed by the canopies of the ancient trees.

"Golden Sun energy evolving Manual. High-rank. Can be utilized during the daytime, as long as there is a clear Sun in the skies. Purifies Magic Power into higher grade energy called Solar Mana at an incredibly fast speed. The Solar Mana increases the damage of flame type ability by five times. Is extremely compatible with flame type ability users." Fatty Liam said the details carved on the top of the golden stone wall.

"It's the perfect match for me. Thanks, bro," A happy smile formed on his face. Because this high-rank technique was a match made in heaven for him.

"No problem, comprehending the skill will solely depend on your efforts. Give it a try, I'll go and look one for myself," Marvin replied with a smile.

Liam wasn't just a friend but a future business partner. In the future, they will need a lot of strength to fight against the people who will come to demand the recipe of the mana channel opening elixir. Thus, fatty Liam becoming stronger was beneficial to Marvin.

"I will give all my efforts to learn it." Fatty Liam sat down in front of the golden stone wall to comprehend the technique.

"I wish you well," Marvin replied while patting his shoulder. He started to walk away.

Fatty Liam's beady eyes focused on the image carved below the details of the Golden Sun Energy Evolving Technique written on the uppermost part of the golden stone wall. In that instant, the image and word carved into that wall seemed to have morphed into a glorious Sun. The blinding light of the Sun stabbed right into his eyes.

"Ouch, my eyes. They are fucking burning!" Fatty Liam shouted in pain and he moved away from the golden stone wall with his eyes closed.

Marvin was just about to look for a technique for himself but stopped because he heard Fatty's painful roars.

In a few seconds, he walked up next to Fatty Liam and squatted down. He looked down at him and saw freaking burn mars on his cheeks.

"What happened? Where did you get these from?" Marvin worriedly asked.

Fatty Liam pointed at the golden stone wall. "Bro, I was comprehending the Sun image carved on it. Suddenly, the freaking Sun image became life-like. I could feel the heat emitting out of it and it blinded my eyes." He touched his cheeks with furrowed brows and said, "I think the heat also caused these burns on my face. This golden stone wall is haunted. Let's get out of this place!"

Fatty Liam's cowardly nature has kicked in. He wanted to get as far away as he can from the golden stone wall. Because of what just happened he believes that the stone wall shadowed by the tree canopies is haunted.

It's not true, the burn marks were the punishment for looking away from the Sun and failing the test of the golden stone wall. I believe that the Gamer won't want his friend losing such an opportunity because of momentary cowardice Noah notified.

Liam was just walking past him when Marvin received Noah's notification. He instantly grabbed his elbow.

"Wait!" Marvin said.

"Bro, I am telling you. We should get away from this golden stone wall as fast as we can or we will get haunted." Fatty Liam said nervously.

"The Blinding Sun was a test." Marvin calmly said.

"What do you mean?" Fatty didn't quite get him. Currently, he was shocked out of his wits because of what just transpired.

"Don't you understand? The Sun only appeared when you tried to interpret the technique from the Sun-like image carved in the golden stone wall. Also, I believe the burn marks resulted because of failure. Give it a try again, this time keep on looking at the Sun." Marvin said.

"Bro I believe in you but I don't want to lose my eyes." Fatty Liam sheepishly replied. He lacked the self-confidence to look at it again, and he was also afraid. The magnificent Sun had taken a hold over his heart.

"Evolution is the process of defying what is destined to achieve a higher status. We are humans and we defy normality to become supernatural and stronger. I believe that the test of this golden stone wall is to defy normal expectations of the society and look at the blinding sun to comprehend the Golden Sun energy evolving technique." Marvin intelligently said.

He was absolutely right. A normal human would look away from the blinding Sun. But were ability users normal humans?

No!

They have evolved to possess abilities and could absorb magic power in their body.

"I will prove it to you," Marvin said. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the Golden Stone Wall.

As he looked at the Sun-like image, it actually began to change. It brightened up and was excluding a lot of heat and shine from it. Marvin kept on looking at it.

Shocked, Fatty Liam gazed at him with mouth agape.

Only after a while, Marvin moved his gaze away from the Sun-like image.

Si* Si* 4 Burn marks appeared on his face.

"See, I told you it is haunted! You got injured for no reason," Looking at which Fatty thought that he was right and this golden stone wall is really haunted.

"Don't get it wrong. I was nearly about to comprehend the technique but looked away from the Sun purposely. Thus, failing the test which resulted in the appearance of these burn marks." Marvin calmly replied.

This technique isn't compatible with light ability users. Marvin wanted to learn a suitable technique. Hence, he had looked away.

"Alright, since you were willing to go so far for me as to even get injured I will give it another try." Fatty Liam nodded while moving his body to face the golden stone wall.

When he looked at the stone wall again the magnificent Sun once again appeared. Fatty Liam's eyes brightened at the sight of the blinding Sun. Although it was painful as if he was staring at a real Sun, his gaze remained glued to the golden stone wall.

Soon after, the Sun changed into golden shiny words written in a completely different language. The shine healed the burns on his face and he could even understand this totally unfamiliar language.

It's because Fatty Liam has passed the test and became worthy to learn the Golden Sun Energy Evolving Technique.

"Brother, you really are too smart. Thanks for showing me the way. This Fatty won't forget to return this favor in the future." Fatty Liam gratefully said. It seemed that he have reaped benefits from following Marvin's advice. He has become worthy of the technique so he now just needed to memorize the knowledge and execute it.

"There are still four hours left. I will go look for a technique by myself, if you can't find me later then return to the starting point." Marvin said.

"I will help you first," Fatty Liam said but Marvin declined to accept his help.

"It will be faster if I go all alone. Trust me," Marvin said before leaving him all alone.

"What a good brother!"

Fatty Liam felt endless gratitude to Marvin, and he then focused on the golden words and started to comprehend the technique. This was a high-rank energy evolving technique, and learning it will increase his strength and glorify his future!

As Marvin was looking for a suitable high-rank technique in the inner region, Noah's notification popped up in his vision.

I advise the Gamer to head to the central region of the Mountain region. At that place, you will find a technique compatible with yourself. It was created by Life Taker

Life Taker. These words were like a clap of thunder to Marvin's ears. Who did the Myriad-shaped Immortal Vanquishing slash belong to?

It was Life Taker!

The powerful Ghost step also was a technique he learned from Life Taker.

This expert had left an energy evolving technique on this island! Marvin's eyes brightened in joy.

'It's sure to be a treasure. Thanks, Noah.' Marvin internally replied before executing Ghost Step to hurriedly get to the center of the mountain region.

"Guess we are going to have our first winner!" Cecilia said while looking at her tablet.

It showed Fatty Liam sitting in front of the golden stone wall with his eyes glowing yellow.

The same tabled also showed the situation of the rest of the students.

The students who had an affinity for water or ice were sitting in front of stone walls placed nearby the waters. Only water type energy evolving technique were carved on stone walls nearby the waters. From time to time, a blue light would shine from their eyes as these people attempted to comprehend the technique.

It wasn't just the mountain region that had stone walls with techniques carved on them. The stone walls were scattered throughout the island. However, some places had an abundance of stone walls while others didn't.
