System vs Rebirth Chapter 771 Suspicions

Chapter 771 Suspicions

One week later.

Noel channeled his ice element to Anna's right hand and right foot at the same time.

Anna skillfully covered her body with her lightning element and matched the Spiritual Energy to accept Noel's power.

The ice element flowed smoothly on top of her body as if she was just a rock that didn't mind getting frozen by the ice. Yet, this time, the ice element could actually circle around her head, stop on her forehead to make a crown, or even create an ice armor.

Anna managed to control Noel's ice element to such a degree. As soon as she returned the ice element back, she began channeling her lightning into Noel's body.

Noel was even more surprising at this point. Due to the mission task that increased his Spiritual Energy sensitivity, he managed to easily sense the amount of lightning.

When it flowed onto his body, the lightning actually jumped around as if it was a rabbit. It moved around Noel's body and even stopped on his shoulder to nudge his cheek as if it were trying to act cute.

After that circulation, both of them opened their eyes, staring at each other.

Old Ru watched them with a smile. This was the first time he saw people with this much talent. Anna, who had experienced another life, was obviously talented. But Noel was even monstrous. He might start slow, but his pace might be even faster than Anna's currently.

"Now that you have grasped the essence of it. Let's begin to do a practice match. You can start off slow." Old Ru raised his hand, gesturing to them to stand up.

Noel and Anna nodded, following his instructions.

"Remember. This is just a practice match. Don't try to harm each other… Well, I don't think you are going to do it, but I'll just remind you about it. You can only attack once before defending. Starts off slow to get the hang of it. Make sure you completely repel your opponent's Spiritual Energy and element. Anna attacks first."

Anna and Noel nodded. They raised their stances.

Anna sent forth a fist, but the speed was extremely slow. It seemed that she was matching the speed she needed to increase her Spiritual Energy and infuse her element before sending it to Noel.

Noel also carefully watched her movement and matched her speed. In addition, he raised his right hand to block this.

Since Anna would be trying to send the element into his body, he had to let the element flow onto his hand but redirect it to his fingers before releasing it upward. This way, he wouldn't have to endure the sharp jolt from the lightning.

The moment her attack connected, she sent the lightning directly onto his body, trying to electrocute his body.

However, Noel had made his Spiritual Energy and Ice Element flow in reverse, causing the lightning to shoot upward.

Noel was slightly surprised. In the past, whenever Anna attacked him with his lightning, he would have a hard time blocking it. Only the Spiritual Weaponry could completely dispel any lingering effect the lightning would cause.

In fact, when the people from the Demon Banner Army trained for the first time in the headquarters, they were trained harshly so that they could ignore the lingering effect the enemy might have caused. But for Old Ru, it seemed that he wanted to be completely free from it.

That was why this ability was terrifying. Even if they faced a stronger opponent with a more powerful element, they could face them without any fear.

Now that he finally understood how terrifying this ability could become, Noel began to concentrate his element into his fist and directly sent it to Anna.

Anna also followed what Noel did, skillfully releasing the ice element upward.

"Good. Continue that way. Once you get used to it, gradually increase the speed. I'm not going to let you leave before you can fight at the speed of a Spirit Master while maintaining this. Of course, that includes the fact that you're to use Spirit Abilities and other things." Old Ru smiled. Even though he said it lightly, reaching that level would require a lot of time. They didn't know if one month was enough or not.

After all, there was a huge gap between their current speed and the level of a Spirit Master.

However, they had no choice but to do it. It was only practical at that level after all.

While they were training, Damian couldn't help but remember the time when they fought against Laufey and the others.

Back then, Noel had trouble when fighting against the serpent. She used her poison to endanger the others. While his fire could burn her poison, it would be impossible for the others to replicate his feat.

If his teammates managed to learn something like this, they wouldn't have to fear the serpent. Of course, it was impossible to learn this ability so quickly.

Hence, Noel was all that mattered. With his current expertise, it shouldn't be hard for him to send the fire on her body, letting it remain to engulf the poison she was emitting. No, he might even be able to cover his teammates with his fire, wrapping them without burning them. If the team could gang up on her, there was no way the group would lose.

That was why if the serpent was coming back at them, they would definitely win after Noel learned this technique.

His overall ability alone might still not reach the level of a Spirit Grandmaster, but with the control of his element, he could be considered at the peak of Spirit Master.

Since Noel was determined to finish this training quicker than planned so that he could hunt the demons around and absorb their Spiritual Energy, Noel might reach the peak of Spirit Masters this time. When they returned to the kingdom, it wouldn't be weird if he suddenly advanced to Spirit Grandmaster within the next six months.

Anna would definitely do the same. And this would be the birth of the pair of geniuses that would shake the entire world.

However, there was something that felt missing in his observation.

Damian furrowed his eyebrows for a moment before realizing something. Their friendliness made him forget, but the world knew them to be enemies of each other.

"Wait a minute. Dimitri!" Damian gasped, staring at Dimitri. "Did you know this would happen?"

"What do you mean?" Dimitri tilted his head in confusion.

"I'm talking about the fact that they are known to be enemies. If both of them are on the same side, people will think that these two geniuses are going to threaten the royal family. After all, Noel has his family executed by them."

"On the other hand, if they are on the opposite side, the royal family will think that Anna will be there to suppress Noel. This way, they could prolong their acts and gradually build up their plan."

Dimitri only smiled at his revelation while Damian actually managed to see through Noel's little scheme in the previous life. The reason why they could reach that stage without getting betrayed was because they were on the opposite side. While Noel tried to change Anna, he didn't do it too much to the point Anna would be on the same side. They would end up getting besieged from all directions after all.

However, it seemed that in this life, Noel had changed his stance, especially after meeting Anna.

Nicole was only listening to them, but the revelation was enough to shock her to the core. She obviously knew how the royal family had been trying to suppress the Stargaze Family and forced Anna to marry into their royal family. If not for the fact that the Stargaze Family was quite strong, Anna would have definitely fallen into their hands.

That was why it seemed that Anna and Noel planned to join hands to shake up the entire kingdom. Besieged? They had truly underestimated the power of the Ardagan Family and the Stargaze Family.

There was another reason why Nicole joined the inquisitor. Of course, she was trying to aim to become an arbiter. But the real reason was that she had to find talented people in the organizations and tried to recruit them.

As for Noel's parents, who had been faking their deaths this whole time, no one actually knew what they were planning to do.

Of course, there was also a need for Noel to pay back his parents for faking their deaths. Even though he could understand the reason for it, he simply couldn't forgive them for doing something like this without his knowledge. His father might have provided him with life lessons and trained his brain for the sake of rebuilding the family, but it didn't change the fact that prowess was the most necessary preparation.

That was why he wanted to infuriate both of his parents and force them to come out of their holes. He wanted to show them that he was the one in charge of the family, not them.

However, these were only the suspicions that these three Spirit Grandmasters had.

As for whether it would come up that way, it would depend on Anna and Noel. After all, Anna's information about her previous life coupled with Noel's brain might give a different answer.
