As the food was ready, the smell started wafting around and filled the valley with the taste of cooked food. Even Jason stopped hitting as he smelled the food. He blinked a few times at the tree in front of him and realized what he was doing. He sat down and started concentrating. And it was just like she said. The wall of his sea of power not only stabilized, but it also hardened with another film of power. In the center of power strange circulation started turning fast and faster and suddenly multiple lights burst out of him as he broke to the boundary.Everyone jumped as they saw his light s.h.i.+ning as bright as the sun in midday. Their eyes were for few moments blinded by the s.h.i.+ne and as it ebbed they could see Jason slowly walking towards them with a huge smile. ""I really did it. Kendra I really did it!""
He picked her up and started laughing as he twirled her around him in circles. After while he stopped and as the others in their sect congratulated him the others were completely stunned.
From the vegetable field, a group of dirty people came out and looked at them with a strange expression. They looked at celebrating people with big eyes.
Claro stood there completely flabbergasted and after while he rushed towards Jason and turned him around. As he stared at his body he yelled. ""How is that even possible? This world..."" But then stopped himself and turned his eyes towards Kendra. ""You... Explain.""
His simple words made everyone silent. Only sounds of insects and wind in treetops could be heard.
Kendra became serious and then came in a couple of steps towards him. He looked at her with questions in his eyes but was completely stunned by her next action.
She took his hand and suddenly threw him over her shoulder. As he hit the ground he lost for moment breath from the pain that caused such impact. As he tried to stand up she came closer and then stood on top of his body. ""You even dare to ask?!""
She looked viciously at them. ""You all lost your powers, but it was never said you can"t cultivate! Morons! You all lost yourself in those basic emotions that you forgot the first law of cultivation. Claro... you lived so many centuries. What is the first rule to cultivation?""
Claro looked at her with blurry eyes and shook his head. Kendra turned her head to others and all of them just shook their heads. Then she stared at the man in the group that just came out. ""Any of you knows?""
The man who calmly looked at her was the first that opened his mouth and calmly spoke. ""Fist law of cultivations is... to cultivate. Always, everywhere, anywhere, anytime. Cultivate...""
Kendra gave him a long glance and chuckled with an evil smile. ""Sooo, did you cultivate?""
He scrunched his eyebrows and pressed his jaw tightly together as he tried not to curse out. Not at her. But at the same time at her as well. She literally slapped all of their faces.
She snapped her fingers to wake them up. ""I didn"t know about cultivating in this world. Wait, let"s talk truth, I had no idea about anything about this world and tasks. I was just pulled here and pushed practically to join in by my guild master. Maybe that is the reason that I can see some things more clearly than all of you.""
Then she pointed at Jason. ""You think his breakthrough was easy? To become a cultivator in this world will be h.e.l.lish hard. But it is possible. This is my last time coming and helping your people. I need to help my sect people to cultivate as well. That is the reason we gave up on the city and just let you do whatever you want with it. From now on, you people are on your own. My sect will pull out all happenings. I don"t want any of you to say later we used our powers to harm you. Why should we? You didn"t even prove yourself worthy of being cultivators in my eyes. None of you... wrong. Warrior guild is doing well, I have to admit. We might stay in contact with your people. Until more cultivators brake the boundary, we won"t be appearing in front of you.""
Her pa.s.sionate words still echoed in their ears as she turned around and started putting food in bowls. ""East fist. "" Then she looked at dozen or so people standing next to the giant pumpkin and sighed. ""After we are done there will be a lot left. If you don"t mind my cooking I would like to offer you the food. Do you want it?""
That young man nodded wordlessly. But looking at er eyes getting narrow he felt like something bad might happen. She threw a knife in front of his feet and chuckled. ""I will give you food if all of you cut completely your hairs and go wash in the nearby river. There is certain plant with purple leaves growing near water. It is an amazing repellant for bugs. Wash yourself and your clothes with that thing and then come back. Don"t worry I will cook more if there is a need. I keep my words.""
The man took a knife and with resolute steps went straight towards the river. Kendra looked at Sirius that smiled at her brightly. ""It seems not all Illo"s people are dumb.""
Kendra nodded as she continued filling the bowls. When she turned her eyes towards the frozen group of people she yelled. ""What are you waiting for? Invitation? Come quickly and eat as long food is still warm. Quickly, I am hungry as well."" She took her bowl and sat by her tent while Jason and Sirius sat by her side each and ate with gusto.
Their enjoyable expression made everyone move while Claro still was sitting on floor and staring at Kendra with flabergasted expression. ""We can cultivate? I... we all are dumb. Right? Really dumb? Right?"" Then he started laughing like lunatics and suddenly small stone hit his forehead and made him stop...
