Bonus skill

0Mo Xifeng felt her expression crack for the first time, she had taught more than just one useless prick but this was the first time she was seeing someone as arrogant as her sister. She blinked her silver eyelashes and then said, " Sister Qiang, did you not feel a hot and cold mana sweeping up your spine and then circulating around your heart?" 

" Ah, yes I do feel that," Mo Qiang nodded her head in response but it only caused Mo Xifeng to furrow her brows even more as she looked at Mo Qiang and asked, " And you still feel that it's nothing special." 

" I mean yes. But that is not going to help me right?" Mo Qiang raised her hand and then questioned Mo Xifeng back, with a shrug and a casual voice, " The duel is a week away from now and if I don't learn how to use my core properly there is a chance that I will be embarrassed by Madam Lian, you might not know this but the situation at the internet is really brewing. I need to take down Madam Lian or else I will be executed on the spot by the netizens." 

Mo Xifeng of course knew that because of Madam Lian feeding all sorts of nonsense to the internet the situation was getting worse day by day which was why she knew that her sister can not lose the duel but even so, she could not just rush some things. 

If her sister was to push herself too much then——

" Sister," Mo Xifeng turned to look at Mo Qiang, her eyes turning darker with each second as she said in a low voice, " I know that you are in a hurry but your way of dealing with certain things is definitely wrong." 

" What do you mean by that I am in the wrong?" Mo Qiang questioned Mo Xifeng, her pride was on the line and she was telling her that she was in the wrong. Was Mo Xifeng not aware of the situation or something? 

" You are pushing your body too much," Mo Xifeng replied, her expression haughty and stern as she looked at Mo Qiang with her eyes which were colder than usual. " Because you are expecting too much you are pushing your body way beyond its limits. You might think that it's a small thing but do you know that if you push your body and try to force your core to level up at an accelerated pace then you might lose your life? One of Mother's soldiers was keen on getting to the B rank mecha core which was why she trained day and night, she was clearly insatiable with the small steps and wanted to take a bigger leap, do you know what happened to her?" She questioned Mo Qiang who shook her head in response. 

Mo Xifeng sighed as she said continued speaking and then said, " That soldier exploded because of increased and uncontrollable mana surge inside her core. It was horrible since her body blew up into pieces of flesh and blood, she could have risen through the ranks slowly but in her hurry to reach the S rank, she lost her life. Do you want to be like her, sister?" 

"That's not what I meant——"

" I know that you are nervous because of the duel which is approaching but sister, you need to understand that you were in the wrong from the beginning. I understand your reasons for suggesting a duel with Madam Lian but even if that woman is a daughter of a basta—— a bad guy, you shouldn't have suggested a duel in front of her in such a hurry." 

" You know that you can curse," Mo Qiang knew that Mo Xifeng wanted to say 'bastard' but changed her words right in between. 

"  A soldier never uses such filthy language, sister Qiang," retorted Mo Xifeng with a stoic face, seeing her like this Mo Qiang rolled her eyes and then cheekily grinned as she raised her hand with her forefinger standing tall while the others were curled.

" You think that I made a mess without knowing what I am doing right?" Mo Qiang questioned causing Mo Xifeng to turn silent which meant a 'yes'. 

Seeing her response Mo Qiang snickered and wriggled her finger as she continued speaking, " Look here dear sister if I was not confident that I was going to win this duel do you think that I would have suggested this duel?" As she spoke, she switched on the tab screen and then chose the level-up option for Chi Chi. " I suggested a duel because I knew that I was going to win anyway, it is not like I am the one who is going down on the battlefield." 

Her response only got Mo Xifeng to think again as she looked at Mo Qiang and then say, " But a duel is all about honest——"

" I know, I know... but when I said that I am not going to go down the grounds, I did not mean that I would not be fighting Madam Lian but not with my own hands," Mo Qiang's gaze fell on the slow progress bar which slowly turned to 100% as Chi Chi's level turned to level E. Her lips curled into a victorious grin as soon as she saw the new and increased stats of the chinchilla. " I will be using my spirits." 

She then pointed to Chi Chi who looked much more healthier and stronger than before. 

"You mean to say——" Mo Xifeng began but was interrupted by Mo Qiang who raised her brows and smilingly said,

"That's right, do you think that I am foolish enough to suggest a duel when I am nowhere close to Madam Lian? I am going to use my spirits because I am a spirit summoner and not a mecha morph," Mo Qiang shrugged her shoulders as she started to sprout nonsense. It wasn't as if anyone was going to question her, she was not going against the rules and using her own skills. 

Even if her spirits were fighting the duel on her account it meant that she was the one who was fighting the duel. 

" But…" 

" What?" Mo Qiang drawled as she looked at Mo Xifeng with an evil face. " Do you think that I am doing something wrong? But what about Madam Lian? Is she not in the wrong? She is going to use her A-grade mecha core against me, so why is it that she is not in the wrong? But I am?" 

Mo Xifeng frowned as she pursed her lips and then said, " But you are the one who is supposed to, this looks like cheating…" 

" Huh? When did I say that I am not going to fight? Am I not summoning the spirits? Am I not using my mana by summoning the spirit? How am I cheating?" Mo Qiang was not going to accept that she was in the wrong! Since she was the first spirits summoner of this world, those rules which were set by the Empress did not apply to her! 

Mo Xifeng did not say anything, seeing that Mo Xifeng was saying anything Mo Qiang snickered and then said, " So, sister why don't you be honest with me and teach me Seism core technique?"
