Chapter 18: Ch 18: The Lady's Astonishment

The next day, Emrys woke up early when the sun started shining. He stretched his arms and yawned before getting ready for his adventure in the forest.

He walked out of the cave he had slept in and observed his surroundings. Since he didn't have a weapon, he had to stay very careful.

He cannot guarantee his victory when fighting an Elementary Bronze Soul Beast, let alone Intermediate and Advanced Soul Beasts. That's why, Emrys decided to retreat a bit. He no longer continued going deeper, instead, he completely withdrew from the borderline where Bonze Soul Beasts appeared in the forest.

Without a weapon in hand, Emrys felt like fighting Ninth Order Ordinary Soul Beasts was enough to gain experience. There is no need to put his life in danger. If he really did so, he would be a fool.

He spent the next few days exploring the forest, looking for Ordinary Soul Beasts to hunt. Sometimes, he had to climb trees or crawl through bushes to find them. It was tiring, but he kept going. He looked for them, fought, and killed them. Despite the exhaustion, he persevered and kept repeating the routine of seeking, fighting, killing, extracting Soul Force, and excavating Soul Orbs.

By the end of the week, Emrys was exhausted but satisfied. He had gained a lot during these days inside the forest. Not only does he have more than twenty White Soul Orbs inside his backpack, but he also has a Green Soul Orb. Other than Soul Orbs, he also caught some small animals for food and thought of bringing them home for his parents. Moreover, he had also gathered some useful herbs that could be sold for a few thousand credits easily.

Today, he decided to leave the forest while the sun was still up.

The past few days had passed without Emrys noticing the presence of another individual: an unknown beautiful lady who had been silently observing him all the time. She never interfered even when Emrys had to suffer deep wounds. She just silently watched him because she was curious about his potential and resilience in the face of challenges. She wanted to see how Emrys would act in danger, what his following actions would be, his decision-making abilities, as well as his progress.

To be honest, she was extremely satisfied with Emrys. Not only was he cautious and calculative, but he was also very calm and knew what he was doing and the results of his actions. Not to mention, he was also extremely talented.

She could have appeared in front of him long ago, but she did not do so. It is because she was not sure about his character.

As a result, she decided to observe him for a few more days after he returns to the society.

.....

"Mom, I'm back!"

The door was opened by Slivya when the doorbell rang. She already knew that Emrys would be returning home today, so she was very happy. When she opened the door, she was greeted by a smiling young boy.

"Emrys, my boy!"

Slivya softly caressed Emrys's face and whispered.

Both of them went inside. Emrys lingered in the living room for a while before heading upstairs after dinner. Though he felt a twinge of disappointment that his father wasn't home yet, it wasn't unusual as his father often went out.

Inside the room, he took out all his gains and scattered them on the floor.

"I can at least get a million credits after selling all these things. It is a pity that the Soul Orbs are not refined, otherwise, I could have obtained more."

"Wait a minute!"

Emrys was sighing bitterly when he suddenly thought of something.

'Soul Points can evolve Soul Orbs. An Elite-level White Soul Orb is generally purer than an Ordinary White Soul Orb. In other words, adding Soul Points to a Soul Orb not only evolves it but also refines and purifies it. Since that's the case, can adding Soul Points in these unrefined Soul Orbs refine them?'

The more Emrys thought like this, the more he felt the possibility of obtaining refined Soul Orbs after adding Soul Points.

In the end, he decided to try and see whether it was possible or not.

Had he known that a mysterious lady was sitting on his bed, observing his every action, he would have never thought of adding Soul Points to Soul Orbs.

Emrys grabbed an Ordinary Soul Orb in his hand and started adding Soul Points. In order to evolve an Ordinary White Soul Orb into an Elite-leveled White Soul Orb, he needed to spend 10 Soul Points. He was curious as to how many Soul Points refining an Ordinary White Soul Orb consumes.

To his surprise, he only consumed two Soul Points, and the Soul Orb in his hand became was successfully refined. A soft blue light flashed, and the Soul Orb underwent a subtle change. Previously, there was not a trace of purity inside this Soul Orb, but now, such traces appeared.

"Amazing!"

"I can really do it!"

Emrys jumped in excitement. He happily laughed, not noticing an astonished face on the bed.

When Emrys added Soul Points in the Soul Orb, she seemed to have sensed something flowing out of Emrys's body and enter the Soul Orb.

"Was that Soul Essence?"

"No no, I must have sensed wrong. How could an Ordinary Soul Master, who is not even a Bronze Soul Master, have Soul Essence? I must be wrong. Yes, it must be just an illusion of my senses."

The mysterious, beautiful lady constantly shook her head and refused to believe what she had just sensed.

The reason remains unknown, but she chose not to trust her senses. It's not a matter of unwillingness to believe; rather, the entire situation seemed utterly implausible. In simpler terms, the idea of Emrys, a mere Ninth Order Soul Apprentice, possessing Soul Essence was beyond belief.

However, her heart trembled when Emrys refined a second Ordinary Soul Orb. As he refined the second Soul Orb, she once again sensed him using Soul Essence to evolve it.

She, who was still shaking her head, was stunned.

Her astonishment intensified when Emrys constantly used Soul Essence to refine the Soul Orbs. He did not stop until only the Green Soul Orb remained.
