The Seven Deadly Child
Silver Turtle

Theo and Tiankong began to explore the depths of the cave. It turns out that the cave that has a small entrance is very deep. The more they entered the depths of the cave, the wider the room inside.

On the bright side, the cave has only one road. There is no road in it.

After walking for a few hours, the bored Theo spent his time thinking about all the potential he had. Sort through the trump cards he could use in battle.

He also began to evaluate his combat abilities, trying to look for his flaws.

Element Seed Neutral type, allowing him to be able to master all sorts of mana types. Moreover, it also improved the quality as well as quantity of mana he had. In a match of mana quality and endurance, he would excel when it came to fighting a Knight of the same class as him.

He was even able to fight Knights with higher grade levels. But certainly not too far above it.

He also had sinful boys who made him feel superior when it came to armed combat. Right now, he could use three different types of weapons, based on the three sinful brats he had conquered.

Then, for a bare-handed fight. He had an Iron Fist technique that had a fairly reliable destroyed power, and could still be developed again.

For defense, he had an iron body technique that even by his master's standards, had great potential in the future. It can also be developed further.

What he lacked at the moment was the movement technique. All this time, he had been searching around a lot in the space-time bracelet library. However, there is nothing that he thinks is suitable, to be combined with the potential quality of his physical body.

There were indeed some high-class movement techniques that had caught Theo's attention. But according to his material, he was still unable to apply the movement technique to his current cultivation level.

The problem of this movement technique had actually long been a problem in Theo's mind, he had asked his master about this matter. His master only said to look for movement techniques that were more suitable for his class later when he had already stepped out of the abyss.

Hearing that, Theo could only harbor this matter the past few years. However, now when he evaluates his abilities, inevitably Theo re-think the problem of movement techniques.

While pondering about this matter, Theo accidentally saw a snail crawling on the cave wall.

Seeing the snail, Theo became reminded of the group of annoying snails that had previously made him very frustrated.

However, just then when he remembered the collection of annoying snails, Theo felt inspired.

"Didn't I have the ability to control gravity?" Mumbles awaken.

During this time Theo was filled with thoughts of combination attacks that he could use with his gravitational force. Also, how to utilize the gravitational field to affect his opponent.

But in hindsight, utilizing the gravitational field to affect the opponent was a pretty pointless thing he was doing at the moment. With the fruit of gravity within his soul realm being very small, his capacity to store where gravity was still very limited.

If it had to propagate the mana of gravity to form a gravitational field, it would only waste where the gravity was, because forming a gravitational field required an enormous amount of mana. For the time being, he could only create a three-meter-wide gravitational field, and could only maintain it for approximately one minute, before running out of stores where the gravity was.

The gravitational field will become more efficient when Theo is able to develop the fruits of gravity that exist within his soul realm, so as to expand his field wider and maintain it long enough.

For now, the most efficient way to utilize gravity is to focus gravity into itself. So that it does not release too much mana, and can last longer.

With this he could make his body become lighter, and take on the movements of those annoying snails as inspiration for him to replicate and learn.

"Okay, that's a pretty brilliant idea. It's decided now!" theo muttered.

"Are you crazy?" Tiankong said when he heard Theo speak for himself.

Theo ignored his master and began to remember every movement the snails made.

After enough recall, he immediately called Baal out.

"Why are you calling me master again?" Baal asked with a lazy face.

Theo immediately threw in some of the resources he got while exploring the mysterious abyss by jumping from one place to another using space distortion holes.

The resources Theo took were invaluable resources, as he would only take resources that he thought needed to be taken and useful for his training.

Theo still applies the principles instilled by his house. The principle is not to take resources excessively, keep these resources in place, and can be used for a long period of time. The next generation will still benefit. In addition, Theo also has plans for this mysterious abyss in the future that might be useful for his House.

Seeing the resources thrown at him, Baal's lazy face immediately turned excited. He caught the resources thrown in, and started eating them voraciously.

"I'll give you more food after this. But first, accompany me to practice!"

Theo was actually a little hurt wasting resources. Because as the master said, without consuming any resources, actually Baal will still develop following the development of his cultivation. The resource is more useful when it is used alone than it should end up in the bottomless belly of Baal.

However, he could think of no other way to deal with Baal. Theo imitates his master's way of confronting Baal, by constantly feeding him. This was an efficient way of regulating Baal, which was indeed the embodiment of the sin of Gluttony.

"Originally get food, everything's in order!" answer Baal.

"So, how do I accompany the practicing master?" Ask Baal.

"You just have to keep attacking me!" Answer Theo.

"OK..!!" Answer Baal briefly.

Without waiting for the cue, Baal immediately turned into the shape of a yellow metal stick, and in an instant flew towards Theo.

Dhuaggg....!!!

Theo who was still not ready, was immediately caught off guard, with a crushing blow to a metal stick in his stomach.

"Goahhhhh..wait first! wait..!!"

Theo who got a blow on his stomach immediately felt like vomiting, he stopped Baal who looked like he was going to attack him again.

"What else is the master now?" Baal regained his physical form and began to complain with a plain face.

"This boy…!!" Guman Theo is upset.

"If I haven't given any cues to attack, don't attack first!" yelled Theo annoyed.

"Say it clearly dong! you're not clear yourself, but you're usually just angry!" muttered Baal while putting on an annoyed face.

"Hahhahahahha….!!!"

Tiankong who was still walking a bit ahead looking for the source of the formation inside the cave, could not help but laugh to see Theo being bullied again by Baal. He gave his thumb to Baal before then refocused on his path.

Baal who got a thumbs up immediately puffed up his chest and looked proud. Like a child who gets praise from his father.

"You guys….!!!!" Theo's getting pissed.

"Ohhhh…." Then he let out a big breath trying to calm himself down.

After somewhat calming down, he circulated the mana gravity into his body, making his body become lighter. After feeling himself ready, he turned to Baal.

"Now attack me..!" theo's orders.

Baal immediately returned to the form of a metal stick and began to fly to attack Theo.

Theo used Baal as a counterweight to study and imitate the movements of snails. Although at first it was a bit stiff, because it was not used to his light body, so he had to get hit several times from the metal stick, but over time Theo began to get used to it, and began to be able to read the direction of Baal's attack movement. He continued to wriggle with strange maneuvers, mimicking the movements of snails he had seen before.

Now, to spend time along the journey to enter the depths of the cave, he continued to practice sparring with Baal. Hone this new movement technique.

Theo called his movement technique a snail step technique.

While on the other hand, Tiankong, who occasionally saw Theo's match practice with Baal, felt a little amazed by the creativity of this student. Again his students are able to develop techniques that by standard have good potential in the future.

After noticing for a while, he refocused his search for the center of the formation.

**

When he was busy practicing a match with Baal, Theo could hear the voice of his master telling them they had reached the end of the cave.

This cave turned out to be very deep, taking a whole week before they reached the end of the cave.

Along the way, it is not easy either. They had several times come across a trap formation that seemed to have been set up intentionally to block anyone from going deeper.

This further corroborates Tiankong's assumption that the center of the formation is somewhere in the depths of this cave.

Theo had to stop fighting with Baal several times to listen to the instructions of his master, and dismantle the formations.

Because of this, Theo, who had never before been interested in studying formations while teaching his master in the space dimension, became a little interested.

Previously, he felt that formation techniques were not very useful. Unlike Alchemy and Forging who he thinks can make money.

'Direct practice is indeed more interesting than just listening, and reading theory' Thought Theo.

In addition to the trap formation, in the cave along the way, they were also several times intercepted by spirit beasts. Theo used the opportunity against the spirit beast to practice his snail step movement technique, real combat had a different sensation to match practice. Therefore, Theo did not want to waste the opportunity available to further hone his snail step technique.

Theo also no longer worried about running out of food. Because before, he had gathered many glowing fruits, and piles of spirit beast meat that he had defeated along the way before entering the cave.

He kept all the meat he thought he could eat. Theo certainly did not think to eat the meat of a giant ant for example.

Upon hearing that they had reached the end of the cave, Theo immediately threw another resource towards Baal. Then he put her back in the tattoo.

Baal floated back into the tattoo with a happy face, because in one week he got a lot of food.

Baal's joy is directly proportional to Theo's heartache, which lost many precious resources.

But after thinking about it again. According to Theo it is worth it, because the practice of sparring with Baal for one week is very useful for the development of snail step techniques.

"It looks like there's another formation here, which hides a space at the end of this cave!" tiankong said as he scanned the cave wall before him.

"Help me to dismantle it!" tiankong Order.

He still did not want to use his mana stash for things that he thought were trivial.

Theo himself did not complain at all, as this was also beneficial to him. In the future, it would be rare for him to be able to see such ancient formations. He wants to learn a lot.

Tiankong then gave instructions on what Theo had to do to dismantle the formation before him.

After a while following the instructions of his master, Theo managed to dismantle the complicated formation before him.

Theo increasingly admired his Master. For 8 more years with the master, Theo can see this master is very skilled in various fields. His knowledge was vast, like there was nothing he could not complete.

Shortly after the seal formation was uncovered. The wall before Theo began to shake, a sizable hole appeared before Theo.

Simultaneously with the opening of the hole, an extremely dense ancient aura barged out wildly.

Seeing that Tiankong immediately shouted an order to Theo.

"This is where the iron is very ancient, immediately absorb everything to the end! don't waste it!!"

Theo who also sensed the ancient iron mana immediately obeyed his master's orders.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and hastily absorbed all the ancient iron mana that came out from within the hole.

When the mana iron entered his body, he immediately broke down and separated the mana iron into its basic mana element. The iron mana separated, and broke into mana the ancient earth and fire. Theo immediately flowed these two mana towards the Fire Branch and the land branch that was in his Element seed. Receiving this flow of ancient mana, the two branches of Element Theo immediately absorbed it wildly.

**

A few hours passed, yet this ancient iron mana was like endless, continuously coming out from within the hole. The two branches of Element Theo that were constantly absorbing this ancient mana soon reached its limit, unable to accommodate even more. Realizing this, Theo's countenance soon became bad. If this continued, his Element Seed would be injured.

Theo immediately wanted to stop the absorption process. But strange things soon happen. This ancient iron mana seemed to have its own life, continuing to enter Theo's body, even when he had stopped the absorption process.

"Master…!!!" Theo who was panicking immediately shouted towards his Master.

"Don't panic! circulate this pure ancient iron mana without breaking it all over your body! it's a great opportunity to re-order your body's qualities!" Answer Tiankong.

After saying so, Tiankong immediately took action and helped Theo absorb the iron mana.

Theo who saw that, actually wanted to refuse. He did not want his master to sacrifice wasting his mana anymore to help him. However, in this condition, he had absolutely no choice. He could only let his master intervene and help him.

This process went on for quite a while, where the iron that came out from within the hole was like endless.the longer the more tyrannical.

**

After 5 hours of absorption process, where the iron coming out of the hole is seen begins to thin out.

An hour later, the iron finally did not come out of the hole again.

It took Theo 6 hours to absorb all the ancient iron mana with the help of his master.

After the absorption process was completed, he could feel for real the quality of his body was increasing by several folds.

Theo who was feeling excited immediately opened his eyes. However, after opening his eyes. He could see his master spirit becoming more transparent than before.

The excited feeling he had previously felt immediately vanished seeing the condition of his master.

"Masters…"

"Already, don't think about it, I was also wrong for being too careless."

Hearing his master's words, Theo's heart immediately became sour. Again, this master sacrificed a lot for him.

"What is the quality of your body? Increase it well?" Ask master.

Theo only nodded briefly hearing his master's question.

His master was still thinking about the development of his body quality, whereas his own spirit was getting weaker. Now not only his heart, his eyes also began to sour.

"What an expression! it's like you're just gonna see me die."

Tiankong immediately turned around and entered the hole to inspect the inside without seeing Theo again.

Actually Tiankong himself was touched by the attitude of his disciple who was so worried about him. However, he did not want Theo to notice the change in his expression. His pride as a master did not allow him to look weak in front of his students.

Theo then immediately followed his master into the hole.

**

In the hole, there was a room not too big.

Theo could see his master now standing in the middle of the room, facing an altar made of stone.

On the altar, Theo saw a round object like a silver stone.

"What is this master of things?" theo asked after being by his master's side.

"Ancient Thing the fourth kind, Four Guardians!"

"This is the egg from the Silver Turtle!" Answer Tiankong.
