Chapter 1170: Dual Runic Talent



"Are you really going to use your Elder apportionment on him? I know you lost your disciple, and we found no clues about his killer since they used some kind of method to block the surveillance on the Disciple Seal in his Knowledge Sea.

"Whoever did this knows exactly what they were doing, and they didn't leave behind any clues. But still, using your Elder apportionment on this unknown brat with strange abilities is too much.

"We don't even know if he's capable of Spirit Forging. If anything, he's more perfect to be a Flame Disciple. I advise you to think it over and let him take the exam naturally. This also gives us time to see what he's capable of and investigate his background thoroughly."

Elder Homer's voice suddenly rang in Forger Elder Dewey's ears, and no one seemed to hear him, even Ace. It was like he was directly talking into Elder Dewey's head.

This sort of commutation method was called 'Spirit Transmission,' which used the Spirit Qi to contain their voice and send it to the target. But this required not only deep compression of laws but also extrema contract over the spirit Qi to seal the voice in the spirit Qi and then send it to a specific person.

If someone is not careful, others can even spy on their secret conversation. Only an Ascension Grand General (Spirit Soul Formation or Spirit Body Formation) was capable of using the Spirit Transmission!

Elder Dewey didn't seem startled by Elder Homer's voice; he was also capable of Spirit Transmission and replied using the same method.

"I appreciate your kindness, old friend. But let me do this. Consider it a hunch, but I have this feeling this brat is extraordinary. Besides, I'm already approaching my first Law Tribulation, and I can sense it coming closer every day, and I can't delay it anymore. You and I both know there is over 90% chance of me perishing under it because I have already exhausted my potential.

"John was my only disciple, and now he's dead, and there is no one to carry my legacy while those talented disciples are taken by the others or have their own clans and factions, not to mention their arrogance knows no bounds.

The ranks of Spirit Forger and Spirit Rune Crafters were the same, from 1-Star to 9-Star. Furthermore, the Spirit Forging required attainment in runes, it was a must if to forge spirit weapons. The only difference was the runes used in forging were quite different from the rune crafting. They also have a special name, 'Codex Runes,' while the runes for the runes used in rune crafting were called 'Philosopher Runes.'

However, with the Heavenly Runes of Ascension, Ace found that whether it was Codex Runes or Philosopher Runes, they were driven from the Heavenly Runes. With Heavenly Runes, he could create or imitate any runes as long as he knew their original Heavenly Runes.

Moreover, he even suspects that the Heavenly Runes have some kind of deep relationship with the Language of Ancient Gods. But it was just his speculation since he was nowhere near acquiring the entirety of the Heavenly Runes.

Everyone was surprised when they heard George say that he was a 1-Star Spirit Rune Crafter. After all, they all knew Spirit Rune Crafting was as difficult as Spirit Forging.

Furthermore, since George also said that he was a Grade-9 Runic Smith, then this means that he was learning both of them without focusing on a single path.

Although it sounds quite easy to become a forger and crafter, it was by no means that simple because of their affinity with Codex Runes and Philosopher Runes.

The majority or 99% of the people have affinity with only one types of runes and that's why despite having similarity with runes in both professions, they can only choose one, the difference become massive as they progress especially the boundary between the elemental and law states.

But those one percent of people who had an affinity with both types of runes and could walk on both paths of Spirit Rune Crafting and Spirit Forging were the focus of envy from both sides. They were known as geniuses of the true Runic Path, also called the Dual Runic Talents, and treated like treasures by their organizations.

Although they had yet to see themselves, even a faint possibility that George was telling the truth and that he was really a Dual Runic Talent would cause a huge commotion.

Ace had no idea about such information since it was kept secret among second-grade sects. First, to not discourage others until they were mature enough, and second, to quickly grab these kinds of talents the moment they appeared, which was simply too rare. However, seeing everyone's reactions and feeling the massive swings in their emotions, Ace knew something was wrong. Before he could figure it out, Dewey was already standing in front of him with shining eyes as if he were watching a priceless treasure. This startled Ace, who didn't even feel his movement and had goosebumps as he took a step back.

Dewey, with a burning passion, solemnly said, "Show me!"
