The Craftsman 352 Ideas

A couple weeks had pa.s.sed by after the incident with Metal. There where now just four months left until the tournament began. Daedalus had, in this time, managed to advance his method and gained the embodiment of the basic elements.

With embodiments of water, earth, fire, metal, air and Yin and Yang Daedalus had been attempting to find beasts with the elements of time or s.p.a.ce. Sadly this venture had been fruitless, so he had retreated to his cultivation spa while his uncle and aunt searched for anything that had the two elements.

Back in the spa with Daedalus. Daedalus could be seen reading the diary which had belonged to Metal. Ever since he had initially read it he had been unable to completely stop thinking about the incomplete technique it held. He also considered going directly to Metal's family to have them help him complete it, it was just more likely that they would take the diary and run than anything else.

So Daedalus sat in his spa, legs crossed, reading the diary of a dead man. It was good that the diary was as detailed as it was though, otherwise Daedalus wouldn't be able to understand most of the technique. But still as he read more of the diary he couldn't help but remark again that Metal had really been a genius.

From what Daedalus could see from the descriptions of the technique, it was a matter of the cores. The cores where in essence the true body of the one who cultivated the technique. But more than anything it was a survival based technique over everything else.

The cores where made of a crystal like substance which had an earthen attribute. This made Daedalus realise that it was a multi attributed technique focusing purely on defense and regeneration. As Daedalus realised this he came to a realisation.

To heal requires blood and energy as it is what is used to regenerate and heal damaged flesh. What was missing from the technique was water. Considering farther it could be considered a five elements body if it was developed far enough.

Fire and water for healing, Metal's blood had been a molten metal, so what if it was instead molten blood or something. Not to mention that the metal body wouldn't be able to move without staying at a constant and high temperature. So metal and earth would be the body, but Daedalus didn't know where air fit in other than breathing of course.

Then it came to him, what if Metal couldn't cultivate normally due to this exact issue, what if he had to breath in the energy to gather it. With this idea Daedalus took out Metal's body and placed it in front of himself. After that he used his senses to see if any energy was getting through the metal skin.

It hadn't. If Daedalus was right Metal had been incapable of progressing as fast as he should have as he had to breath in the energy rather than absorb it like other cultivators. This gave Daedalus a certain amount of respect for the unfilial Metal.
