Chapter 99: New Door

On the same day, news broke that Robin's blood brother, John Burton, had been slaughtered and his body hung in a humiliating manner in front of his own house.

It was also announced that he betrayed the family and plotted to kill Caesar, thus Robin asked for him to be killed in this way... 

but that didn't reduce the impact of his death much, it actually made it more fearful!

Everyone was slaughtering beasts and livestock to make a banquet in celebration of Robin, and he ordered the slaughter of his own blood brother as soon as he entered the city...

At that moment, everyone realized that the cute, smiling young man who was on the carriage was far from being nice.

They realized that the person who retired from the world for one hundred and fifty years was not some wise ascetic who doesn't care about worldly matters, but rather a beast with intense ambition who knows nothing of mercy...

Everyone realized they had to reevaluate Robin Burton, so they wouldn't make the same mistake as the traitor John.

-----------------------------

Finally, after days of continuous travel, Robin and his companions slept well for more than a full day

Two days after their arrival at Jura city, the three young men bid farewell to Robin and Zara, then set out for the new lands of the Burton family to subdue the rebels and search for talents with strong souls, as Robin commanded.

Zara went back to draw talismans, as she has to draw many kinds of talismans before the first auction that is only two months later, and even to draw the pattern on the spirit revitalizing pills which she hadn't tried before, she just watched Robin make them...

Other than drawing talismans, she has to practice to raise her energy level... the eleven-year girl is making a lot of progress towards the eighth level!

It is worth noting that even Mila who IS the cultivation genius of her generation was not even close to this level when she was her age.

Of course, Zara's combat experience is non-existent, and if she fights someone lower than her a level or two, she will be defeated.. but even so, her cultivation speed is still a miracle for the current era!

As for Robin... he found for himself a dark room isolated from the activities of the rest of the building, the room had its own bathroom inside... and decided to seclude himself in for the next period

After getting rid of most of his obligations towards the three families that know his identity, the time has finally come to make another huge leap in the world, something that if accomplished according to his imagination, all future plans will be built upon.

And this thing has to do with... Soul!

Currently, the spiritual power in the world does not represent any weight, the more a person becomes strong in terms of energy cultivation, his soul becomes a little stronger, which gives him clarity of mind, prolongs the period of his lack of need to sleep, strengthens his concentration, widens his spiritual sense zone, etc...

That made it be linked directly with energy cultivation, thus if a baby is found with a stronger soul, then he must have some talent in energy cultivation as well!... or that is what is currently believed.

But that same argument is full of defectives, why are some people are born with an initial stronger soul compared to ordinary people, to begin with? doesn't that mean they can be treated as something separate?

Another evidence appeared when Robin began to feel his spiritual energy decrease and feel fatigued whenever he draws a talisman, and this lost *soul energy* or whatever it is, returns to its previous strength after resting and meditating for a while... 

And after a period of drawing the talismans, he noticed that his soul strength has increased by a very small amount, even though his energy level did not increase!

Does this not mean that it can be treated as an energy subject to increase and decrease, like the energy of the surrounding nature that everyone uses and absorbs from the air and stones?

If this soul was strengthened, wouldn't his mind become stronger and have a better readiness to explore patterns around it?

Would he not be able to use his discovery to train a large number of talismanic painters and make his own army of painters?

These possibilities alone were more than sufficient to make him eager to start on this path 

Exploring spiritual energy first will lead to a way to find a way to strengthen the soul, which will open a huge door of future possibilities, and who knows what else he might find...

--------------------

It's been 40 days since Robin entered his seclusion...

This was the first time someone tries to find more about the soul, and starting something from scratch is NOT easy.

The first thing Robin choose to head to was to find a way to accurately define his current soul power, without knowing how powerful he is now it will be impossible to know be how much he gets stronger or by how much the talisman drawing takes from him...

until now he just *feels* without accurate numbers, and for a researcher, this is a joke! he needs an anchor to measure everything concerning the soul power with.

Spiritual Sense... This was almost the only known application of soul power and could be used in combat and exploration to find out the locations of targets and predict their next step, etc... 

After a lot of examinations, Robin found that the area that a spiritual sense could extend to express the extent of a person's spiritual strength,

But this also wasn't good enough, it is not a tangible thing that can be observed and examined because it is stretched on a large scale until its density is almost non-existent, if anything can be compared to it then it must be... the Void!

The good thing is, unlike the void... the soul power can be controlled.

So he spread his Spiritual Sense to the extreme, and then he found a way to compress that sphere around him as tightly as possible without allowing it to get back to his body

After many failed attempts he finally succeeded in transforming the huge sphere into a faint, shining aura that flew away from his body for only 5 inches and couldn't be compressed any further... 

With his eyes of the truth, he examined the aura around his hand and found that he could see this aura very clearly and... finally he was able to detect patterns on it!

Robin's joy at his new discovery can only be compared to his joy when he first started seeing the patterns... an indescribable feeling.

Anything he sees patterns in means that he can use and manipulate it! 

the new door towards potentially another cultivation method was finally opened for humanity... that made him extremely excited!

But his happiness and enthusiasm were cut short only two days after he discovered the patterns of Spiritual Strength.

*knock knock *

Robin opened his eyes angrily, "What is the matter, Zara? Didn't I tell you not to interrupt me?!"

"I'm sorry, but there are important people who want to meet you and I don't know when you're going out..." A faint, guilt-filled voice came from behind the door.

Robin knew he was being hard on her, so he sighed, "sigh~ alright alright, I'm coming out,"

He got up and took a shower in the room's bathroom and put on a new cloak, then went out to find Zara still standing waiting, and asked, "Who are those important people that I should receive myself...?"

"It's lady Mila, and she's with other people, they're all waiting for you in the patriarch's office."

Robin was surprised by the reply, "Mila? What is she doing here... ok I'll go see what's going on."

----------------

Ten minutes later - the patriarch's office

"I heard someone wants to meet me." A voice from outside caught the attention of everyone in the office, and a few seconds later Robin entered with a smile.

The first person he saw was a very beautiful woman with explosive feminine looks, she was looking in at him with complex eyes...

"Haha Aunt Mila, how can this little one serve you?" When he saw Mila Bradley, he couldn't help but burst out laughing and immediately tried to provoke her

"Shameless!" The complex look on Mila's face disappeared and was replaced by an angry one, then with *hmph* I turned to face her in the other direction.

"Oh? General Edward is here too? That sounds serious.." Robin's tone turned serious when he saw the genius General who had subdued Dolivar, and beside him were 3 other Saints!

"I salute noble Robin." Edward nodded with a smile

"Robin, this group came from the Bradley family and they all want to talk to you. now that you are here, I will leave you to your work then~." The patriarch spoke with a smile and then stood up ready to leave

"No need, Uncle Brian, you can stay here.. There's nothing between me and the Bradleys worth hiding." Robin replied, finding himself a free chair and sitting on it, then quietly asked, "How can I help you?"
