[One with the earth] – Active skill; Able to perceive everything on the ground for a radius of 50 miles.
Tang Yue licked her lips in elation as she gazed at the notifications piling in one after the other.
“Hmm… Higher Earth affinity… Not bad at all.”
“And one with the earth?”
“What a mysterious skill?”
“Will I really be able to sense everything within a 50-mile radius?” She wondered.
Tang Yue closed her eyes and first stabilized her cultivation base.
She then activated the newly acquired skill to see if she can detect Charlotte’s presence inside the chieftain’s house.
Ruuummmm Rummmmm Rummmm Rummmm
As she closed her eyes and focused, Tang Yue could instantly feel her breathing in rhythm with a faint intangible murmur of the soil and the rocks around her.
All her senses resonated with an unfathomable understanding of the living and the non-living present around her.
It was an indescribable feeling.
She could sense the strong roots of the tree, the sturdy pressure exuded by the mountains around her, and even the smallest footsteps of a group of dwarven children.
Every single movement was crystal clear. And of course, she could also sense the footsteps of the restless elf pacing back and forth in the chieftain’s house.
Tang Yue was then about to search for Kosa’s presence when she felt a sharp searing pain coursing through her meridians.
This new skill had sucked dry all her mana reserves!
Tch. Tch. She clicked her tongue lazily and closed her eyes again to recuperate the drained energy.
A few hours later, a pair of hurried footsteps echoed near her and Tang Yue flashed her eyes open.
“Child. What happened to you?” Kosa was rushing over to her.
He knew that his daughter had always been a hardworking person, but this was the first time that she was spending almost an entire night in the quarry without even having dinner.
Kosa was extremely worried.
He had to deal with quite a few troublesome things today but this had affected him the most.
He thought that he had protected his daughter from all the hardships that surrounded them but it looked like he had failed in the end.
The old dwarf took a look at his daughter who was working extremely hard even if it was the middle of the night and his heart ached.
“Child, let’s go back home. You can cultivate tomorrow.” He sighed and patted Tang Yue.
The young dwarf girl looked up at her father’s warm face and smiled brightly.
Unlike what her father feared, she didn’t look tired or dreary at all.
“Ok, father.” Tang Yue nodded obediently.
She followed the old dwarf and started walking out of the quarry, but she stopped near the entrance.
A small node of raw ore protruded from the rock near the entrance.
Tang Yue smiled. “Father, I want to show you something.” She mumbled.
“Huh? What is it, child? It’s already late today. Let’s head back home. You can show me tomorrow.” He said and waved his hand.
Tang Yue, however, didn’t listen to him. She walked forward and retrieved a pickaxe from the equipment pile near the entrance.
She used her left hand to touch the node and activated the new skill ‘One with the earth’ just for a second.
She could immediately feel the throbbing of the small vein underneath which was constantly supplying earthen essence and nourishing that node.
“Yana…” Kosa muttered. There was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
He saw the smooth and unrestrained movements of his daughter and his eyebrows raised.
And the next instant, Tang Yue, or rather Yana lifted that old rusted pickaxe in her right hand and dealt a single swift powerful blow to the node.
KA DANG.
A loud sound echoed in the empty quarry. The single hit had the strength of her cultivation base behind it so the node vibrated from the attack.
But other than that nothing happened.
Kosa sighed. He was slightly disappointed but he tried not to show it on his face. “Don’t worry, child. The next time you will get it for sure.” He encouraged her.
But before he could finish his sentence…
SILA SILA SILA
A loud rumble sounded and a dozen well-extracted ore chunks crumbled and fell on the ground.
Kosa gasped loudly! His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Since when did ores pour out like that???
That had to be an ultimate perfect strike to bring about such an unbelievable outcome!!!
“YANA… COME HERE with me.” Kosa grabbed Tang Yue’s hand and dragged her back inside the quarry.
He was livid with excitement and had already forgotten about how late in the night it was.
“Come here, child. Quick. Quick. Try repeating that again.” He hurriedly pointed to another node, a slightly bigger one this time.
Tang Yue smiled warmly. Unlike him, she remained very calm and composed.
She once again touched the node and activated the skill to feel the pulse of the vein underneath.
It was then child’s play for her to identify the right spot that would crack open everything and yield perfect extraction.
Tang Yue chuckled softly and once again targeted that perfect spot.
SILA SILA SILA SILA
And once again ores poured out like grains of rice.
Kosa clutched his daughter and hugged her, tears streaming down his wrinkled cheeks.
“My dear… Ah… You have made this old man very proud, child. God has indeed blessed us.”
“My poor child. All your hard work has finally paid off.” He hugged her tightly and patted her.
Unbeknownst to herself, Tang Yue’s eyes were also glistening. For the first time in her life, she felt a warm feeling enveloping her heart.
“Thanks, father.” She muttered under her breath.”
“Silly child. Don’t cry. Ok. Ok. Hurry up and practice for some more time.”
“You should make sure to grasp this feeling thoroughly before you forget it.”
