Chapter 200  You are a monster Part1

"Here. Take this." A book fell on Sylvia's lap and the Lycan Lord's figure disappeared.

Huh? She stared at the book wondering what it could be when she saw the familiar words written on the book. 'Astral Energy Manipulation'

Sylvia sighed and looked in the direction where the man's figure had disappeared. She ended up not talking about this yesterday and hadn't asked him for his help, but he still remembered and helped her anyway.

Not to mention, he shadowed her along with his clan members, endangering both their lives, just to satisfy a selfish request of hers.

Sylvia smiled gently feeling the warmth in her heart, but the next second, a thought entered her mind. Did he also want something from her? Did he also plan to use her?

She couldn't help but chuckle softly at her conflicting emotions.

She didn't know when she become this cynical. Perhaps in her lifetime, she would never be able to fully trust another person.

She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath before getting up from the lawn and opening the book in her hands.

"Evie. Prepare my bath and bring my breakfast." The maids were by now used to Sylvia's usual routine and they didn't find it odd that she was up all night and rested during the day. This kind of thing was very common.

Sylvia freshened herself up a bit as her body was still covered by wet sticky sweat from having trained all night.

She dipped her slender body into the big tub of water filled with flower petals, various medicinal herbs, and nourishing essences.

She then propped the book open in her hands, allowing her to have the luxury of soaking her tired body for a while in the nourishing bath.

Mmm… Sylvia hummed silently as she felt the knots in her body loosen up.

Amidst the relaxing silence, her eyes darted from word to word and ever so often her eyes widened in surprise.

Unlike the book which her so-called sister had given her, this one wasn't as old. It in fact did not even look like an original book. However, it was definitely better than that.

Someone else had personally hand transcribed the words onto this book, adding their own notes at various places. They provided additional help and aided Sylvia in understanding some things.

She couldn't help but be moved by the thoughtfulness of the Lycan Lord. "I will remember this, Lord Roman." She thanked him silently.

Her eyes devoured every piece of knowledge inscribed onto the book and she also noticed how it was similar to the other one Melissa had gifted her.

It turned out that her sister hadn't sabotaged the book after all. However, there was one additional piece of information in Lord Roman's book that hadn't been present in Melissa's version.

A warning! A warning that those who pursued to tame astral energy might suffer severe consequences if their body wasn't attuned to the energy thoroughly.

This was the only difference between both the books. Sylvia chuckled. She now understood her sister's intentions. It looked like she had indeed wanted her to succeed in her endeavors.

Perhaps she counted on Sylvia harming herself in the long run?

"Well. It doesn't matter. No matter how risky it is, I will be doing it anyway." She softly smiled and stood up from the tub.

Hot nutritious breakfast was readily served and there were also two extra food trolleys near the table. Sylvia, as well, felt ravenously hungry and she finished all the food, continued to again peruse the book, end to end.

Since she would be attempting the next step on her own and considering that this step was very vital in every spirit beast's life, she wanted to be extra thorough. She even ate more than usual to make sure that her energy levels were fully replenished.

Sylvia then rested for a while and the evening arrived sooner than expected. The tutor Mrs. Gruger promptly walked in and she once again began the lessons about etiquette and customs.

The two of them spent a couple of hours, one very verbose and the other very quiet.

After the allotted time came to an end, the middle-aged woman quickly prepared to leave as if the entire place was about to go up in flames and Sylvia watched her scurry away in amusement.

She shook her head helplessly and then finally began her actual training by settling comfortably on the lawn. She picked a spot where the gentle light of the moon and the stars unobstructedly fell on her and then closed her eyes.

She calmed her mind and heart and started focusing on the energy thrumming in the air around her.

"I need to focus, center myself, and bring everything together," Sylvia muttered under her breath. She was currently trying to consolidate her beast mana core and this was the instruction given in the written notes.

Everything was detailed from top to bottom and Sylvia knew exactly what she needed to do. So she didn't hesitate and dived right in.

However, if anyone else including Roman had heard about this, he would have surely stopped her. Mana core formation was the foundation of every single beast.

It was the seed from which their strength stemmed. Their future development relied on it. If someone's mana core was formed improperly, then they would be weak for the rest of their lives.

On the other hand, if the resulted mana core was of a higher tier one, then their future prospects would truly be limitless. These things were clearly written in several books and also on the written notes which Roman had gifted Sylvia.

However, despite this Sylvia still attempted the crucial step all on her own. Not that she was too stubborn to take somebody else's help or blindly arrogant to underestimate such an important process.

Her thinking was rather simple. She only did this because she was not just forming a mana core. Rather she was forming an astral mana core.
