I'll Surpass The MC
chapter-140

"You won't fall unconscious abruptly, right?"

"I won't."

"Are you healthy now?"

"I am."

"Your head isn't spinning or anything, right?"

"I'm perfectly fine."

"The Boar King won't be showing up, right?"

"He won't, not after the spanking I gave him."

"You're really really alright?"

"I am, Asaeya." Inala consoled a traumatised Asaeya. His left hand held baby Gannala who had fallen asleep once again. His right patted Asaeya and rubbed her back, consoling her with his warmth.

Despite being a Settlement Leader's daughter and having had intensive training from a young age, Asaeya was only thirteen years old. She was merely a child.

Had she been on an Empyrean Tusk, no matter what came her way, she could endure it, for she gained strength just by being in the presence of her Spiritual Pillar, her Deity, the 43rd Empyrean Tusk.

But being on the ground in a faraway land, buried deep in the Sandy-Grey Void added to her stress. And the longer she remained there, the greater her stress grew.

She was afraid, experiencing hallucinations of the Boar King gobbling up everyone nonstop.

"He won't be here, I assure you." Inala continued to console her, "You might not know this, but the Boar King is afraid of me. I spanked his ass recently. So, he won't come anywhere near my vicinity. The next time he comes, I'll tell him to not bother Asaeya and spank him again. He's terrified of me that much."

"Pfft! Haha!" Asaeya laughed in the end, "Really? The Boar King's afraid of you?"

"Of course," Inala grinned, "And he'll become more and more terrified of me in the future."

"Just wait," He boasted, "In the future, when you come across him, just shout my name. Before his brain could even process the shout, he would be running away. My name alone will terrify him."

Inala Nature—The Boar King's Absolute Fear!

Well, it was absolute bullshit, but Inala had to spin such lies to make Asaeya recover. It would take a while but he was confident in healing her back to normal.

'There's two more months left before our stockpile here runs out.' He thought, 'We'll begin training to regain our strength in this time.'

Currently, the bodies of both Inala and Asaeya were malnourished. Asaeya lost weight due to stress while Inala was unconscious and hence couldn't upkeep his bulky body, even when Asaeya fed him the fluid from a Prana Bomb frequently.

After a week of consolation, Asaeya recovered enough to resume training. Inala acted no different from a monkey during this time, his antics causing her to break into laughter all the time, making the atmosphere of the place cheerful.

They then began to train in full swing.

Inala had completely comprehended the two memory clusters he gained from the previous Gannala. The first cluster detailed the Boar King's life, from his birth to when he became the Boar King.

Undrakha had extracted everything from Brangara during their torture sessions. That knowledge was available within the inheritance the 1st Empyrean Tusk of that time had given to Gannala.

The Boar King's power, character, habits, history, Primary Natures, etc. The data about his Primary and Tertiary Natures was detailed to the extreme, fully allowing Inala to understand how the Boar King became who he was.

The second cluster contained the previous Gannala's life journey, from her birth to her death. The main point of importance was her interaction with Undrakha and Renduldu. There was also the information Gannala received from the Bolt of Transcendence, not to mention the seven paths she had developed and the process she went through to achieve it.

His Mystic Skill Creator was firing up nonstop, as there was a lot of material to work with here for the creation of new Skills. Inala held himself back because the time wasn't right yet.

Simply creating a bunch of Skills was a waste of time and effort. He already had eleven Skills and one Prime Skill. Adding more would simply weaken him.

After all, if he was in a pinch in the future, he would hesitate a moment, unable to decide what Skill to use since he would have at least a few Skills that were appropriate to use in the situation. That would be a foolish way to shoot himself in the foot.

Instead, he would first have to finalise the direction of his fighting style. Following that, he would condense and reorganise his set of Skills to optimise his survival.

Prime Skill—Empyrean Slip!

By activating it, he touched baby Gannala. Since he was her father, she automatically granted him access, allowing him to appear in the void and observe the mountainous clusters of information strewn around.

That was the inheritance received from the previous Gannala. As baby Gannala grows, she will eventually unlock this inheritance bit by bit and obtain everything the previous Gannala possessed.

This included memories, Skills an Empyrean Tusk used, the fighting techniques developed by Gannala and all Empyrean Tusks before her, etc.

Gannala had received an inheritance from 188 Empyrean Tusks. She was at a calibre superior to the other Empyrean Tusks, for even at birth, she was significantly more evolved, hence given the name of Gannala which meant Supreme Tusk in their language.

Baby Gannala wasn't exactly a Supreme Tusk, but she currently possessed the path prepared by Gannala in Inala, the path with 16 bricks as stated by Renduldu.

As she was Inala's child, she inherited the path present in him. The path wasn't meant for Inala to attain the Mystic Grade status. No, he was simply the medium through which his child, an Empyrean Tusk would attain the Mystic Grade status.

Through the Empyrean Slip Prime Skill, Inala observed the cluster that was related to the path. It seemed the largest and most complex of all memory clusters, spanning a size beyond which he could even handle.

Inala's mind would explode by the time he absorbed a hundredth of the cluster. Only an Empyrean Tusk's mind could possess such voluminous information.

At present, all the information clusters were sealed, as baby Gannala wasn't old enough to access them yet. Therefore, if Inala were to access them, he would destroy the seal and harm baby Gannala's mental growth.

Hence, he returned to reality after looking around for a bit, silent as he pondered deeply. For some reason, he couldn't forget Brangara's Tertiary Nature of Cultivator.

He stared at baby Gannala, 'The moment she transforms into an Empyrean Tusk, that's final. She could no longer become human. To do so, she would have to burn her growth and sacrifice her potential, just as the previous Gannala had done.'

'But, if she has the Nature of Cultivator, she could transform back and forth between human and Empyrean Tusk forms. Moreover, by cultivating, she could become many times stronger once she enters the Life Stage.' He thought.

The cultivation journey of a Pranic Beast ended at maturity. In a cultivator's term, that was hitting the peak of the Body Stage. Hence, no matter how strong a Pranic Beast was, it only had one life.

That was why the Boar King was so terrifying, as he possessed multiple lives. Since he had the information regarding it, Inala couldn't help but think about it.
