Chapter 577 Superior Mana Control
"See that? It's the power of a law. Moreover, I only have the rudimentary comprehension of it. If I can comprehend more, even with my current cultivation, I can fight fight-star mages." Although there wasn't any change of expression on her face, she was undoubtedly feeling proud, especially because of how shocked Max was.
It took Max a few seconds to recollect himself, before he nodded with naked admiration, "It's undoubtedly powerful, and I'm sure just this level of control over your element is enough to make you almost unrivaled in the four-star realm."
"But you still haven't told me how your law can help you breakthrough to the five-star? Also, since you are this strong, why didn't you help me when I was fighting that high-stage four-star demon, and almost lost my life?"
Right after he asked this, he remembered her mana core and mana pathways were damaged. In that condition, how could she utilize her true strength?
Looking at his expression, Shasha knew she didn't need to answer the last question, and said, "I didn't say I'm absolutely certain to break through to the five-star, I said I can give it a try."
After clarifying this, she paused, and raised her hand. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Wind Elemental mana started gathering above her palm in a football size sphere and became visible. Then, she asked, "What grade mana is this?"
Max carefully sensed it before replying, "One-star."
Shasha nodded. After that, the sphere started shrinking, and soon shrunk by half. She then asked again, "What about now?"
Max sensed again, and became shocked. "This… It's two-star now. Don't tell me…"
Shasha nodded. After that, the sphere started shrinking, and soon shrunk by half. She then asked again, "What about now?"
Max sensed again, and became shocked. "This… It's two-star now. Don't tell me…"
Shasha nodded, "That's right. My Wind Elemental Law doesn't only let me freely control Wind Element, it can also refine normal mana into higher grade. Not only that, it can nourish my physique too. Now, you should know why I said I can try breaking through to five-star after my mana channels are healed."
Hearing the confirmation, he was stunned. He nodded, and muttered, "Since you can refine mana so quickly, you can easily fill your core with four-star mana to the brim. Moreover, since your law can nourish your body, you'll soon have a strong enough body to bear the pressure of breaking past the mortal realm. This… isn't this too amazing!"
Seeing him lose composure, the corner of Shasha's lips curled up before she immediately recovered. Max looked at her with hope and excitement in his eyes, "Can you tell me how I can comprehend my Elemental Law?" He was excited. Why wouldn't he be when he saw the hope to become stronger quickly? But at the same time, another thought appeared in his mind, 'Why didn't the system tell me anything about the Laws?'
Shasha shook her head, "I can't tell you because I myself don't know how I managed to comprehend it. One day I suddenly sensed the Wind Elemental Law and started to comprehend it."
Max's excitement vanished when he heard this. Noticing this, Shasha continued, "But I can tell you that you should have superior control over your mana before you can begin trying to comprehend a law. If you don't have superior control, you'll never be able to sense these abstract laws. Of course, you aren't guaranteed to sense them even if you have superior mana control. In other words, it's up to your luck."
"Luck, huh?" Max muttered. If it was a matter of luck, he was confident he could also comprehend an Elemental Law. After all, wasn't it his good luck that brought him to this wonderful world after he died that untimely, and pathetic death?
Wasn't it also his good luck that gave him the system that helped him become stronger, and enjoy this life and his beautiful women when he originally couldn't even sense mana? That was why he was confident of his luck. Of course, he would never leave anything up to luck and would make utmost effort to achieve what he wanted. "How about you show me your mana control so that I know just how far I am from the Superior mana control stage?" Max asked. Since Shasha wanted a favor from him, how could she refuse? So, she immediately demonstrated her superior mana control.
As he observed her skillful mana control, he became fascinated, not only with the superior mana control stage, but also with her. She looked very… enchanting with that focused look on her face. After she was done, she took a deep breath. In her current state, just doing this much was tiring. After that, she looked at Max, wanting to ask if realized how his mana control was lagging behind, but when she saw the look in his eyes, and the bulge below his lower stomach, she shivered, and a strange feeling appeared inside her.
Given her nature and past, she should've gotten angry at him for showing such naked desire for her, but for some reason, she couldn't, which made her uncomfortable.
Max realized what he was doing, and quickly controlled himself and said with a sigh, "I used to think my mana control was quite good, but I now realize how wrong I was."
Shasha looked at him in silence for a moment before choosing to ignore what happened a moment ago and nodded, "It's normal. Before I really reached the stage of Superior mana control, I also used to think the same. Just keep practicing, and you'll definitely reach it."
After saying this, she asked, "Now, can you give me some of the Holy Energy?"
Unlike when he was caught staring at her, this time he immediately became awkward. He knew the reason she patiently told him everything was for the Divine Energy, but how could he give it to her when he didn't have any?
Shasha frowned in displeasure upon noticing his hesitation, "You don't want to give me some?"
"No, that's not the case." Max said.
"Then what's the problem?" She asked coldly. Then as if thinking about something, she said, "You don't want to give it for free, is that the case? If it is, then…"
Before she could continue rambling, he interrupted her, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's that I can't because I no longer have any left." As he expected, Shasha's face fell when she heard this.
"You don't have any…"
