God's Eyes

Chapter 47 Passive mana replenishing



A day passed and Jason woke up full of energy while Artemis was happily flapping with her wings gazing at Jason with expectations.

Jason had to feed her more and more incomplete wild beast cores every two to three days and he wondered if she had a limit, otherwise, he would run into bankruptcy once she needed more than Jason could provide.

And there was also the question, what would happen when she absorbed more Mana than she could digest... Was that even possible? Or would she just digest it with a long hibernation? Would she evolve or just break her limits?

Too many questions about Artemis were on Jason´s mind but also some questions about himself including his soul and eyes, but there were no answers no matter how hard he thought about it.

One thing Jason was also very interested in, was answered two days ago when he was at the Fler mansion.

Jason had a deep thirst for knowledge and he asked Gabriella and Mark Fler many questions about mana, beasts, how mana influences the environment and much more.

During that, he felt enlightened many times and he found out something particular.

There were techniques in this world to passively replenish one's mana while breathing, walking, running, and so on.

While there were multiple stages with the possibility to even gather mana during sleep, it was extremely difficult as one's mind had to divide itself to do multiple jobs at the same time.

But Jason wanted to try it.

At least the easiest stage was something Jason was confident to achieve in... somehow..probably?

Replenishing mana while walking around.

Greg and Malia could already do it and they were also able to replenish their mana while running.

They also told him about the difficulties one would have to face during learning how to passively replenish one's mana.

First, you had to be able to 'split' your mind into different task fields or to say it simpler:

Multitasking.

While that alone was already relatively difficult one also had to have a certain degree of control over Mana which an average youth on Astrix would achieve after roughly 6 years.

This wasn't considered a problem for Jason as he had control over his mana for almost 10 years while his control was extremely sensitive since the beginning.

He wasn't sure if he could perform multi-tasking right off the bat but he could learn it.

And his advantage was his eyes.

Jason wanted to walk right into a mana stream and stroll around inside to practice, walking and replenishing mana at the same time.

Jason had to acknowledge, that he was definitely expectant about it but his mood was soured as he thought that Greg wasn't considered a prodigy from his mana sensitivity, mana core rank or in Jason's opinion top tier martial arts skills, rather it was that his soul was the most unique about Greg including his soulbond, and he could already replenish his mana even during some small spars.

`Could everyone do that? Or was Greg underestimating his own sensibility?` Jason thought with a sour facial expression.

If everyone was able to passively replenish his or her mana while running, Jason had to also do it to decrease his gap to them.

Jason's practice of the Heaven's Hell technique wasn't neglected and Jason felt that his soul was overjoyed every time he practices this technique as his soul world increased with his soul world core.

This wasn't a common case but some rare souls had the ability to grow to a certain degree.

That was because their mind couldn't handle the normal size of their soul world and the world had to adjust itself to prevent permanent injuries.

Jason's case however was different, but he wasn´t aware of that fact.

His soul energy was extremely strong at the beginning but it was absorbed by his soul world before anyone could notice it except the old man who thought it was an illusion caused by his ambition.

Once his soul energy grows stronger, his soul world would also enlarge.

Jason shuddered as he was reminded about the pain he had to suffer during his soul-awakening.

Walking around the camping area next to the one-star plains wild zone, Jason had to use up mana, so he could replenish it.

After throwing a few knives injected with mana into a thick three, Jason tried to feel the mana while walking around.

Because he was constantly on the move it was definitely slightly more difficult to feel the mana and his focus was sloppier but it was still not too difficult as his sensitivity with mana was excellent.

The first step was done but the more difficult step was yet to come.

Jason was now supposed to absorb the mana into his body and lead it through his mana channels to complete a whole cycle in order to annex it into his mana core.

Only then would the mana be yours and part of your body.

It was so difficult and Jason had to walk at a very slow pace to even start integration the mana into his mana core.

He only walked subconsciously while focusing mostly on the whole mana replenishing process which wasn't the correct way.

It should have been the other way around and Jason asked himself if he would be able to do it the right way and more importantly when.

He wasn't sure how long Greg and Malia took to do it but he wouldn't ask them about it because knowing it could be more disastrous than not knowing it.

If they needed a long time, Jason would be too lazy and if they took a very short amount of time to perfect it, he would be discouraged.

Artemis was flying around, exhausting herself, while trying to do the same as Jason.

Commonly, beasts below the magical beast rank replenished their mana by eating other beasts or eating plants with mana in them or just by resting while magical beasts used mana for almost everything and had to replenish their mana continuously passively.

While Artemis flew around she didn´t forget to look at Jason curiously from time to time and what Jason did look very exciting for her.

Jason meanwhile drew lots of attention to himself as many youths questioned themself why this black-dressed youth walked around for hours without doing anything else.

Even some middle-school teachers who went out to the one-star plains wild zone with their students didn't know what Jason did as they couldn't comprehend that Jason tried to passively absorb mana without using too much of his attention on this particular field.

While some teachers instructed their students about Jason´s tries, they also told them that it was extremely difficult to learn how to passively gather and replenish mana while walking, running, or even fighting.

There was one middle-school teacher who was extremely knowledgeable and he was holding a speech about the Mana gathering manual when Jason was walking past them.

Jason´s pace slowed down by a notch and he heard the teacher saying something about the difficulties of passive mana gathering and replenishing without the help of manuals and detailed descriptions.

Many difficult questions could be answered before one would even start learning how to passively gather mana and Jason asked himself why he didn't know about that before he was reminded that he didn´t attend the trip to the one-star wild zone last year because of his blindness and phenomenal strength of a 1st Novice-rank without any combat prowess.

Listening to the teacher for a minute, Jason also understood why he hadn't heard anything about this manual, as one requirement to get permission for such a technique was attending a prestigious school, purchasing a copy with merit points, or one had to be a noble.

Other than that, there was also the chance to get permission for the passive mana gathering manual would be human achievements.

For Jason, the easiest way would be purchasing a copy with merit points from his future school but he had the premonition that it would be quite expensive and he decided to continue with his own try to learn how to passively gather and replenish his mana.
