"Do you want to see how weak I am?"
Fasro knew that Jason wanted to spar with someone strong from a foreign race, but at the same time, he knew his little sister the best.
As such, he had to intervene before anything could escalate
"You've just used up your entire mana. Replenish it first and then you two may fight!"
This sounded logical and Jason, who was already ready to fight calmed down before he stared at the mana fluctuations radiating from Ysla.
'She doesn't show any signs of hatred within her mana fluctuation. Was I just seeing things earlier?..Oh, what's that?'
Jason couldn't see any emotions intertwined in Ysla's mana, however, what he could perceive was her fighting spirit.
She was eager to fight and have some fun, even if that meant that she had to overwhelm someone with her strength of 150 liquefied drops of mana!
According to what Jason had understood, absorbing mana on Argos was not good for the Ariyor race and rather bad. This was interesting.
'Are the impurities within the naturally generated mana the cause for humans to have such a slow advancement process in their mana core? At least it could be possible considering the amount of impurities a mana core absorbs throughout years of absorbing the surrounding mana!'
It was not an unlikely theory he had in mind but it was still interesting to know that humans might have a better mana absorption talent than one would think!

Nevertheless, pure mana was not something they could acquire, just because they wanted to have it!
Argos' mana was becoming stronger with each day passing, and it would take an eon until the world core's limitation to increase its naturally generated mana would be reached.
After Jason had calmed down from his excitement, he introduced himself to Ysla and Midra before his gaze remained on Midra.
"Your brother said that you're more knowledgeable than he is. Is that correct?" He bluntly asked, not minding the proper etiquette most humans showed other foreign races.
In Jason's opinion, the Ariyor race wouldn't be on Canir, or protect the Shiabi clan, if they didn't receive lots of benefits from them.
These benefits originated from the fact that the Shiabi clan had a soulbond with a curse cleansing ability and Jason was interested to figure out why exactly this ability was so useful, or even rare, that the Ariyor clan sent out so many young prodigies of their race!
Midra looked at her brother for a short moment before nodding her head that was made up from quicksilver.
Jason was sure others would feel weird around the Ariyor race, without another human next to them, but that was not the case for him.
The only difference they had was their looks, but that didn't make them less interesting for Jason.
His mana eyes detected everything within the Ariyor race and with the information, Fasro had provided him, Jason assumed something.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})As such, he turned to Fasro as he mumbled
"Are you the oldest child of your family?"
This might not be important for others, but he wanted to know why Fasro said that Midra was the most knowledgeable Ariyor in their camp!
"I am the oldest, but I was taught differently than my sisters. The Ariyor race is similar to mankind in that case! Most male Ariyor are taught martial art techniques, how to wage war, what there is to know about other races, blacksmithing, inscribing runes and magic circles, and so on.
Meanwhile, different from the human race where one's gender doesn't determine if someone is superior to the other, female Ariyor are superior to the males!
Their comprehension is better in most cases, while the same applies to their mana absorption. There are a few more points, but I think you get what I mean!"
Fasro said everything in the universal language because he found it easier to talk in that language instead of the human tongue, and Midra looked at her brother weirdly when she heard Jason.
"I think I got that, yes" He spoke in perfect universal language without missing a single pronunciation which was exactly what Fasro wanted to show Midra, who was also interested in other races.
She had learned many languages, but the human tongue was the most difficult to speak amongst all languages she had studied!
As such, she didn't like to speak in it!
But now that she saw Jason, and that he was able to speak in the universal language, her interest increased manifolds!
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Thus, her little hesitance when Fasro had entered their tent with a human, receded and she began to speak with Jason.
Several hours had passed in which Jason got to know much more information. Yet, what he had been unable to ask was information about the Celestia race.
He had hoped that their name would fall during his chat with Midra, but that didn't happen.
Nevertheless, he received a vast amount of information and his head was brimming with all kinds of new things he got to know.
Apparently, as Jason had assumed, the universal cultivation ranking was not only utilized for someone's mana core rank, but also to grade weapons, materials, potions, and so on.
This was interesting and easy to understand for everyone.
Other than that, he got to know more bout the foreign races that had invaded Argos, their current stance within their worlds, their average strength, and much more information.
He didn't really understand the names of the cultivation stages she was talking about because Midra's excitement caused her to speak extremely fast.
In the end, Jason had procured new information, before he was even able to ask something about the previously mentioned facts he had received.
Yet, instead of asking Midra about the cultivation stages more in detail, this could wait.
He had yet to break into the Prisma stage that was said to be the most arduous and longest step in constructing one's foundation.
Even prodigies of other races are said to require more than 50 years to achieve this step while it would already be an extraordinary achievement to break into the Ascendion stage before the age of 100 years!
This was not something higher races could attain easily, and even Grand races would take long to break into the Ascendion stage!
However, what were 100 years, if one was able to reach a stage, mankind wouldn't even reach in the next few millennia!
It was already difficult for them to solidify one small prismarine crystal, and they had yet to find out that after solidifying nine prismarine crystals, one had to envelop three small crystals with one rotating large crystal!
Jason had already known this because of the Owl-bear he had encountered within the large mana vein several months ago, but that was not the case with mankind, who was oblivious to their insignificance.
After several hours had passed his mana core was finally filled with mana, and he had to find a way to distract himself from the information his mind had yet to digest!
Thus, he turned towards Ysla, who was extremely bored and not interested in the exchange of information between him and Midra.
"I'm ready to fight! Do you want to spar?"
His question was simple, but the fighting spirit he suddenly showed had been such a sudden change within Jason, that it astonished Ysla and even Midra, who had wanted to talk or with Jason.
She had received lots of information about the human race from Midra and wanted to receive more.
However, after thinking about it, she could only think that Jason was probably overflowing with the information he didn't understand.
As such, she held back, as Ysla jumped up.
"Finally!! Let's go!" She didn't know why, but despite Jason's low quantity of liquefied drops of mana, Ysla thought that he might not be as weak as she had initially estimated him to be.
As such, she wanted to use her whole strength in order to fight Jason, who was thinking of a way to prevent Ysla from overwhelming him with her brute force!
'I have to make use of my combat experience! She is several years younger than I am and doesn't have any, or not much combat experience!'
