It was a simple technique of Heng Shao, Jen saw this and felt gooseb.u.mps all over her body.

Jen felt regret, she could have saved the woman if she had gone to bring this man before.

She was standing like an erected stone on her feet.

This time she was proved wrong.

She became the reason of death.

She was h.e.l.lish weak.

Heng Shao was still crying.

She was at the pit of despair first time, "You think, you could save everyone... how childish thoughts... especially when you yourself could not save_!!" she was reprimanding herself full of grief.

She could not stand his mournful cries, Jen herself was weeping now.

The surrounding air was slightly inclined to the woman body now, slowly acc.u.mulating the fragrant essence air and then her body withered in the air leaving the man hands empty as if he knew this would happen, he looked her body gradually withering.

The woman was pure Legend without any maliciousness of character thus she became a part of pure essence energy, it was unheard and unseen.

Jen was still standing like stone.

The man, "Yenay, you are gone, I never could imagine that I would not hear you anymore in my contemplation study nor you would walk around me_I cannot face this_!!" he brought out a small crystal dagger and was ready to stab in his heart.

Jen saw this and her stone turned feet moved like thunder wave, she fell on her knees in front of him, "I am guilty_I thought I could make an escape route for the woman but I was wrong_you should not blame yourself_!!" her eyes were showering, she was feeling guilt-ridden.

His hand stopped after listening to this.

He looked around, the young girl was on her knees, she was only Sage.

He thought what she said then looked that she was Sage, a sudden surge of anger came and he shouted at her, "Who do you think you are_I am a Legend and I never thought that I could make escape route for another person in dire situations_yet you, a tiny little Sage dare to think that you could make escape route for a Legend, how ignorant_how...daring ignorant_!!" he choked on every word.

Jen trembled with his angry shouting.

"I am not ignorant of my capability_the time Yenay pleaded me that I should look for you_she was already injured severely_I wanted to borrow the time that you might appear for her help_yet you appeared too late_!!" she could hardly explain the situation.

Heng Shao was now more angry at himself.

Jen was guilty because she wanted to save the woman but she was this h.e.l.lish weak, what if she wanted to save some dear one and her enemy happened to be strong, would she wait for some powerful helper to come and save her dear one?

He wanted to hate this tiny little girl for her ignorance but he could not, he would not commit such lowly act, she wanted to behave stronger then he would make her stronger, he would teach her whatever he learned.

He was always striving to become stronger to save Yenay whatever danger came in their way but he could not save Yenay, what was the use of this power?

If Yenay had learned these things she might have reached him unharmed.

"This Spring Void would disappear after two days...you have this time to ama.s.s the essence energy from here...!!" he waved his hand.

"Where would you go senior_?" Jen was afraid that he might end up his life.

"If you acclaim...I will be your mentor... until you reach Legend Realm...I will teach you how to become stronger...I'll let you learn the core of a true Legend...so that you could save yourself from devils like humans in future...I am doing this for the sake of Yenay...It's your choice whether you acclaim or not...!!" he turned and walked away.

He suddenly felt that he was tired of the endless path of contemplation study, he was walking like defeated being, he wished to finish his life but then he remembered Yenay.

She would definitely not have approved his actions.

Then he decided to bear his life.

Jen was left speechless, she thought it thoroughly, a mentor, why he suddenly changed his mind? Two days to ama.s.s the essence energy? Why it sounds strange? but she could see her surrounding was started to gradually withering.

She ran from the battle place and halted after she was surrounded by usual flower vines.

Jen sat there and began to direct the fragrant essence energy in her Acmes Pairs as much as she could.

Contemplation study was a slow process while absorption of essence energy was as fast as a Contemplator could handle, it was like breathing fresh air.

She wanted to fill every Acmes Pair to the brim.

It would be better to say that she was following the first instruction of her second acclaimed mentor.

She did not want to embarra.s.s herself by not following his instructions properly, and the question why did she acclaim him to mentor, it was simple, he was not a man of loose temper and despite the previous awkward situation, he was a man of clear heart.

Only a sensible heart would felt embarra.s.sed for the situation back then.

Time pa.s.sed quickly, the surrounding was withering at a fast pace now. The previous flowers vines were sapped dry, and gradually most of the parts of Spring Void were looking like a normal barren void.

Heng Shao was standing at the mountain peak and looking toward the girl who was following his instructions tirelessly, but it was not enough to impress such a strict mentor.

His previous carefree att.i.tude was gone, instead, it was replaced by rough and dry with a tired and gloomy face.

The next day, few Contemplators who were studying in this Spring Void felt a sudden change in the surrounding air, it was void of any rich energy.

They started to leave the place.

Jen, next day, stood up to find her newly acclaimed mentor.

It was rare to meet selfless people nowadays, much less to find a selfless mentor.

Even in a School of Contemplation, the mentor who was responsible for the grooming of the disciples would not teach selflessly, would never share learned secrets, would skip the most critical parts of learning.

This would be a great fall in the polis.h.i.+ng of great and geniuses and eventually fall in the appearance of highly learned individuals.

The standards of learning would fall too, many great techniques and Apt.i.tudes would disappear with the death of learned deities and Legends making the overall human knowledge and power declining into the pit.

With limited geniuses and powerful Legends, the threat of foreign invasion would increase as well because every powerful would trample on every weakling to show others how much power they had become.

The problem was the need for selfless Legends and learned mentors.

Whoever wishes to increase power or study, one would step on others necks or kill every human coming in their ways of becoming stronger to make it possible, which was disgusting for Jen, she would learn on its own rather than s.n.a.t.c.h from others.

This was the reason she did not learn any technique.

She was wandering like a rapscallion, she wanted to learn on her own, though it was madness sometimes madness was more practical than reasoning.

If she had joined any School of Contemplation, she might have easily learned what she needed but the human natures would still remain hidden from her.

The more avoiding thing was the influence of great grandfather, n.o.body could tell, who she was and whom she belonged, it would be more natural to learn behaviors.

In the presence of great grandfather, people would only bend their heads in approval and respect, but it was difficult to tell the actual thoughts inside their heads.

She was blessed to procure a new mentor, about whom she was positive just that his circ.u.mstances were a little painful now.

All the way, she was thinking about the question popping in her mind again and again, "Did I made the right decision to be his disciple_? Should not I reconsider my decision_? Why at this moment_? Would he really teach me selflessly or he was thinking to just teach some random things_?"

She was walking toward the second stream, "Why I should believe a stranger, she did not know anything about this man and the woman staying in this Spring Void or it would be better to say that both were the core of this Spring Void_!!" she mumbled jumbled in her mind about these possible concerns.

"You are walking unsteady, is there anything in your mind troubling you_?" Heng Shao could see confusion written on her face all the way.
