"Thewk."
Zhao Luo spat on the right and looked at the falling body of his ghost and then looked at its falling head which rolled while descending.
Zhao Luo's face had an angry expression that could not be explained.
But it wasn't just anger, it was more of a surprise reaction from his side.
"Thud!"
"Why did you use the fist of Yin and Yang?"
Zhao Luo questioned the ghost whose body had just hit the surface.
Zhao Luo closed his eyes for a moment and then started meditating.
'Extraordinary Breath.'
He calmed down instantly.
Then he imagined a perfect image of himself, that is, resulting in the formation of the ghost.
The destroyed ghost was vanishing and a new ghost was forming at the exact spot.
All the injuries had disappeared and this time the ghost's head was intact.
The ghost was once again in optimum condition, unlike the one who had disappeared, and the apparitions who were still recovering.
"Answer Me."
Zhao Luo questioned the ghost with furrowed brows.
Since both the ghost and apparitions were his creations, so how could any of them go against his commands.
'Does it mean that the ghost has a will of its own too?'
Zhao Luo wondered while he waited for the ghost to answer.
"Master I only used the attack once I was defeated by your shadows. That is, the first fight was over, and in the second fight, you hadn't restricted any of my moves."
The ghost spoke well, slowly yet without any excuse.
His answer sank deep in Zhao Luo's mind.
"Y-You are right."
Zhao Luo understood that it was indeed the case.
As the ghost had said, it had been defeated by the apparitions and Zhao Luo had restricted the use of the ultimate fist for that fight only.
"But why do you call them shadows?"
Zhao Luo questioned the ghost.
His apparitions were black, but they weren't just simply shadows.
"Cause they have ghastly forms."
The ghost answered back with a comment that was facts but didn't have much reason behind it except for the fact that apparitions and a shadow looked the same.
Shaking his head, Zhao Luo didn't question the ghost anymore.
"Well..."
Looking around, he found all his apparitions coming from different directions.
With furious looks on their faces and ferocious steps, they walked towards Zhao Luo and the ghost.
All of their gazes were directed towards the ghost who had defeated them recently.
"Okay calm down guys."
Zhao Luo told them while waving his hands.
Since the ghost had appeared the apparitions had started changing in many ways, that Zhao Luo could have never expected.
'They have a feeling of inferiority and just to break it, they want to win over him.'
Zhao Luo thought as he looked at his apparitions.
Slowly opening his mouth,
"Absorb!"
Zhao Luo said coldly and the apparitions mixed to form a giant black smoke.
Zhao Luo looked at the massive cloud above him and was slightly shocked.
'Woooosh.'
Then the black cloud seeped inside him through his mouth and gave Zhao Luo a feeling of being full to the brim.
'Thud!'
He sat down on the same spot with swift action.
Zhao Luo clasped his hands and slowly opened his mouth again.
"Assimilate."
He said while closing his eyes.
'Flick.'
The ghost who had been standing in front of Zhao Luo disappeared as it wasn't needed anymore.
-
After a long while,
'Mhmm.'
A groaning sound escaped Zhao Luo's mouth.
This time new knowledge was going inside his mind.
Not only his strength increased, but his knowledge regarding the use of numbers in a fight also increased.
'Thwack, Thwack...'
Hammering sounds escaped his body as the assimilation process continued.
Zhao Luo kept his eyes closed while the assimilation process was going on.
-
After a while.
Zhao Luo opened his eyes.
He was sitting alone in the dark space.
"How much time has passed?"
Zhao Luo looked down and wondered, as this assimilation lasted longer than usual and now Zhao Luo wasn't aware of the remaining time that he had.
'The assimilation process felt like a good sleep this time.'
Zhao Luo mumbled as a smile emerged on his face.
Just when he was wondering.
*KnocK, KnocK*
A knocking sound echoed in his dark space.
Zhao Luo raised his head and straight away knew that it was Senior Cutie.
"It must be Brother Cutie."
Zhao Luo said as he got up to leave the dark space.
[ Wait ]
An enchanting voice washed over Zhao Luo.
'It's the Empera with the crimson eyes.'
Zhao Luo froze instantly. The Empera with the crimson eyes was calling out to him after a while so Zhao Luo who wasn't ready froze and even forgot to answer while acting like a dummy.
[ Before You Go ]
The Empera stopped again waiting for Zhao Luo's response.
"Yes, Senior Empera."
Zhao Luo bowed his head and replied.
[ Why don't you summon your apparitions and your ghost so that they can train here while you are away ]
The Empera told Zhao Luo.
"But don't I have to be here personally for the dark space to work?"
Zhao Luo raised his brows and asked the Empera.
[ Before you had to be here, thus I never mentioned such a possibility to you...]
The empera answered as her voice died down.
"Yes, that's what I am saying."
'Wait, she said "before""
Zhao Luo stopped and looked towards the direction of the sound.
That is, upwards.
[ But now, don't you have your ghost? You can leave it here so the dark space will stay open and your apparitions can keep on training ]
"I se-"
*Knock, Knock*
The knocking sound echoed in the dark space again while this time interrupting Zhao Luo.
Without waiting any further, Zhao Luo closed his eyes and started meditating.
He made a perfect copy of himself again thus summoning the ghost.
'Puff.'
The ghost appeared right in front of him.
Then he opened his mouth.
"Summon~"
"Puff, Puff, Puff...."
The nine apparitions appeared together behind the ghost.
'Tap, Tap...'
They rushed past the ghost after realizing that they were standing behind him.
Looking at them reacting so hazardously, Zhao Luo could only shake his head.
"Don't wreak havoc here."
'No, wait.'
"Wreak havoc if it means you are training to your limits."
"Train well!"
Zhao Luo instructed them.
"Thank you, Senior Empera."
Zhao Luo bowed as he showed his gratitude to the Empera for guiding him.
'Who knows how much I will be able to improve when I absorb them next time...'
Zhao Luo thought as he realized that this was something similar to what some games had.
"Auto farming."
"Or here..."
Zhao Luo looked at his ghost and apparitions.
"Auto Training!"
Zhao Luo mumbled while drool left his mouth. He was too excited after learning that he could use his dark space like this too.
[ HaHaHa...], sweet laughter was left in his dark space as the Empera's presence vanished.
Zhao Luo started enjoying the cute giggles left by the Empera but before he could get his fill,
*Knock, Knock*
The knocking sound erupted again in his dark space.
"I need to go."
Zhao Luo said as he closed his eyes and a moment later, in his room, he opened his eyes.
"Knock, Knock, Knock.."
"Brother Zhao Luo, Wake Up."
"Zhao Luo~"
Zhao Luo heard two people shouting at him from outside his room.
"Ah, Coming, coming."
Zhao Luo replied as he got off his bed hurriedly and tightened the belt of his purple robe before making his way to the door.
'Clack.'
Zhao Luo opened the door.
"What? Why are you guys here?"
He questioned as it wasn't Senior Cutie who had come.
