Chapter 293 - Captivated.
Yang Dao parked his bike at the side of the road and came to sit down near the field where a group of children were practicing soccer. An old man explaining how to generate power when kicking a ball. The Dao Child did not know why he was attracted to these activities. His gaze focused on the boy kicking the ball and slowly everything else began to dim.
He saw how the guy took a run-up and arched his back slightly as he kicked the ball. The hands extended to provide the body a good sense of balance. The foot connected with the ball and it shot out like a bullet. The ball hit the net and the old man said, “Good job. Practice it again. Also, remember the energy comes from your core.”
Yang Dao saw how the children ran all over the ground. Suddenly his pupil changed into the Dao patterns, slowly rotating. He saw how the lines of light and dark tremble as the figures ran. The resolution between the body and the earth gave him an ethereal feeling. Unknowingly, the boy fell into a state of enlightenment.
He closed his eyes and looked inside his body. He saw his body filled with azure source energy particles. Yang Dao looked closely and found that his bones and organs were not blended with the source of energy particles. It was only glazed with it. He thought to himself in this state, when I perceived the wind, I used the breath as a guide. Now when I wish to sense the earth within my bones, what should I do?
He was confused and thought, ‘The elements inside me will resonate with the elements outside. If the breath is wind, then bones are earth. The wind moves, but the earth is stable. The best way to sense the earth is to feel it with your hands and feet.’
Yang Dao glanced inside his body and urged the source of energy particles to move away from his bones and organs. The source of energy moved away from his bones and then he started to move his thoughts to sense the minerals inside the bones.
When he comprehended the wind, his thought power was one thing that helped him back then to sense the movement of wind inside him. At first, he was using his source energy to find the existence of another source of the element. Only now did he realize, just like how you cannot produce energy without utilizing the power of the whole body, you cannot sense the existence of the earth inside you if you do not utilize the other elements inside you, too.
When he first came in contact with the elements, he comprehended the element that is used and interacted by the humans the most ever since they are born. Earth is an element that represents calm and stability, just like Atsuji Kurogame said. To perceive the stable Yang Dao used the ever-moving.
As the Dao child, he could seek to figure out these things without anybody’s help. He focused and his perception became sharper with every second. It was after an hour or so when he sensed the surrounding ground. He was able to sense the vibrations sent from the movement of the people and the vehicles in his vicinity.
The perception was really weak at the moment, only ten meters, but he was successful in doing this. Yang Dao opened his eyes when he sensed his mobile phone ringing. He picked up the call and Atsuji Kurogame spoke, “Congratulations.”
Yang Dao knew what he was talking about. The boy replied, “Thank you for your guidance, elder.”
The two did not talk about anything serious and after a casual remark, the call was disconnected. Yang Dao stood up and rode his bike back home.

While the boy was going to ride back home, Atsuji Kurogame was sitting on the chair in his own house. Atsuji Kurogame was part of the serving government and thus he had the privilege of being provided with a room inside the crown.
After chatting to Yang Dao, he called Laohu Bai and said, “Young Master comprehended earth element.”
The white tiger on the other side replied, “Good, I just hope that he can keep up this pace. Or the situation will become more and more complicated.”
Atsuji nodded and said, “Ryu will be coming back in a few, then we can ask him to have Young Master register as an assassin.”
Laohu Bai agreed with it and said, “Shall we take him to the second level so that he can practice assassinations?”
Atsuji shook his head and said, “There is still time to do that.”
Laohu Bai fell silent, she found that Atsuji was correct there was indeed a time before Yang Dao was ready for the second level, And when he moves to the second level, he will have to deal with the cause and effect of this area before he can go to the realm of immortals.
The two people talked a few tidbits, and the call was disconnected.
…
Yang Dao had reached home, and he fell asleep. The next morning, he woke up, dressed up, and saw that no one was home yet. Lisa and Frieda were sent to the Dao Courtyard Mansion so they might be coming back in the afternoon. He prepared a meal for himself and then he went to the college riding his blue bike of his.
He did not use silence today. On the way, he used his earth sense to observe the area ten meters around him. What he did not notice just yet was the changes in his body that had occurred after he awakened the power of the earth. However, suddenly he felt a little awkward atmosphere around him. He found that a few college students were looking and pointing at him.
Suddenly he heard a low voice from Kiya, who appeared next to him out of nowhere. “I was wondering who was so captivating. Turned out it was amazing Master Yang Dao.”
The two exchanged a glance and chuckled as they rode their bikes to the clubhouse.
