Chapter 199: Hunting With Leo
Before heading out on a hunt with Leo, Noah decided to quickly level up his aura skill to level 10. With his mana control at level 10, creating a strong foundation for aura manipulation would be straightforward; the two skills complemented each other naturally.
Noah immediately calmed his beating heart from the excitement over the instant coffee and sat down in a meditation position. His high intelligence made the connection between mana control and aura development crystal clear, allowing him to approach the training with a focused mind.
Level 8 to level 10. This shouldn’t take long with my current foundation.
Drawing upon his mana control, Noah began channelling his internal energy outward, extending his personal aura beyond his body. The technique flowed as naturally as breathing.
His aura expanded steadily, growing stronger and more refined with each repetition. The invisible energy field that surrounded his body became denser, more responsive to his will.
The outline of mana around his body grew stronger, more condensed as time passed by.
Ten minutes later, the familiar system notification appeared in his vision.
[Your Aura skill has reached level 10!]
Noah stood up from his meditation spot with a satisfied smile. The progression felt natural, a step toward the balanced development he was pursuing.
Three skills at level 10 now. Swordsmanship, mana control, and aura. A solid apprentice-rank foundation. It would be perfect if I could level up my Wind manipulation skill, too, but one step at a time.
"Are you ready to go on a hunt, Leo?" Noah asked, turning toward his companion with anticipation for their first joint combat experience.
Leo’s ears immediately perked up, his tail whipping back and forth with obvious excitement. The young lion had been waiting for this opportunity since awakening with his evolved abilities.
