Three days later, Mavis returned to the villa with the injured White Sun in her arms, which was coincidentally seen by Iris.

"Why did the White Sun get so badly injured?" There was a hint of anger in her tone, but the other party was her cousin.

In the face of her questioning, Mavis replied calmly, "It's under control. I will cure the White Sun. Don’t worry.” After that, Mavis carried the White Sun into the room and cleaned its wounds.

The White Sun's painful screams filled the entire villa, while Iris felt like her heart was dripping blood. Iris did not understand why sister Mavis had to put the White Sun into the jungle to fight so early.

The White Sun was only two to three months old and was in its infancy currently. She would ask Mavis about the reason after Mavis had cleaned up the White Sun's wounds.

In a short while, the White Sun was carried to its nest by Mavis, "What do you want to ask?"

"Where does it hunt? What is the content and method of hunting?" Iris's tone was full of questions. If Mavis continued to do this, White Sun would die.

"In the Kamet Forest south of White Stork. Of course, the content is hunting! The way is that the White Sun hunts beasts and magical creatures on its own. I will not help it unless the White Sun faces deadly danger." Mavis answered truthfully.

"Why is the White Sun so badly injured?"

"I've said that I won't help it unless the White Sun faces deadly danger, otherwise how would it grow up and fight alongside you! If the White Sun is not strong enough, you will have one less element to fight with mages of the same rank. Understand? You cultivate every day, and you don't play with it. So do you want it to eat and sleep at home without doing nothing useful? Do you want to raised it as a lazy pig?"

"I...I..." Iris was made speechless by Mavis's rebuttal.

"If you weren't my sister, do you think I would be so idle that I help raise a summoned beast? Either let me go and take White Sun to continue into the Kamet Forest, or you can raise it yourself!" Mavis said impatiently, obviously getting angry.

"I'm sorry, sister. I'd better listen to you! You sit down! I will give your shoulders a massage." Iris said with a smile.

"That's more like it!"

"Sister, I have two more things I want you to help me with!"

"What is it?" Mavis sipped the tea on the table.

"My cultivation level has reached the high rank! Please help with awakening and high-ranking magic!"

"I got it! I'll take you to awaken the third element this afternoon."

"Thank you, sister. You are the best to me!"

"High-order elemental magic is not like the middle-order elemental magic that can be chanted directly. It is used to enchant weapons, like this."

Mavis' hands were flooded with blue water elements which gradually began to coalesce into entities. Then two water-shaped swords appeared in Mavis' hands.

"It's a high-level water magic! Stop the Waves! Water Shape!"

"It's so cool!"

Iris wanted to touch it, but Mavis stopped her and said, "Don't touch it! You'll get hurt."

Hearing Mavis's warning, Iris quickly retracted her hand.

"The shape of the weapon we call 'shape', and this is up to you to figure out. No one can help you. If you can't find your 'shape', then your cultivation will stop at the high level. Some people spend half a lifetime without being able to find their 'shape', while others can find it the first time when they look for 'shape'. So this varies from person to person."

"'Shape' can be injected into a weapon, just like this! This way we call it 'Enchantment'."

Mavis took out a short sword and injected magic into it, "Look! This sword not only has the characteristics of the 'shape' just now, but also retains the characteristics of the original weapon. When the two blend together, there will have more than doubled power."

Immediately afterwards, Mavis led Iris to the basement, "Look!"

Mavis raised her sword. Then a kind of sword energy of water shape waved toward the wall cloth, and there were countless cracks on the wall instantly. In a short time the wall recovered. After all, the basement was made of special materials.

"If the sword of water shape alone would be much weaker than this!"

Then Mavis swung again in the same way, the sword energy became significantly weaker. This time the wall was not even damaged.

"We'll talk about it the rest later. After all, you don't have your own 'shape' yet." Mavis was about to turn to leave.

"Sister! Is this it?" A long sword coalesced with the fire element was placed in front of Mavis.

"This ..." Mavis opened her mouth, but she still couldn't suppress her inner surprise.

"Oh my god! Amazing. When I found my own 'shape', it had took most of the year."

"Isn't it easy? I just put the magic together in my hand and it appeared naturally! It's like my 'shape' is the only one that belongs to me." Iris said calmly.

"Shit! If you keep being arrogant, I'll stop teaching you."

"No, no, no! You're my good sister!"

"A normal sword can't be enchanted. It will break if it's forcefully fed with elements. I'll have someone bring you a good sword later! Enchanted weapons are able to cut off magic. Even if it's above the high level magic, it will be likely to be cut off. It depends on your knowledge of the 'shape'. The enchantment consumes lower magic power. You have to practice a set of sword techniques, otherwise your sword will not be able to play its role!"

Mavis just finished, then gave the sword recipe from her arms to Iris ! "This is handed down from the generation of Queen of the Blood! Do not pass it on to others! Otherwise Auntie will come running over and break your legs, got it?"

"Got it!" Iris nodded obediently.

"The sword recipe is called 'Butterfly Blood'. You take your time to practice it! If you have doubts, just come to ask me! I will answer them all for you." Then Mavis left the basement.

In fact, Mavis is very resentful. It took her half a year for Mavis to find her own 'shape'. But Iris just advanced to the high level and found the 'shape' for the first time.

After seeing Mavis leave the basement, Iris directly used the flame to burn the "Butterfly Blood". After all, Iris has "Hardening", and she believes that "Hardening" will be much stronger than the "Butterfly Blood"! Even if "Hardening" is really not as good as "Butterfly Blood", Iris can get a copy of it from sister Mavis and start over in practice! Anyway, Iris is Princess of the Blood, so it is just a piece of cake for her to take a sword recipe.

The "Intermittent Rain" stresses the combination of flexibility and toughness. Flexibility refers to the wielder of the sword, not the sword itself. It means that the wielder needs to use the sword by his body. The body of the wielder, footwork, swordplay need to be incorporated into one. Flexible footwork, and tough body should be used in the right time! The wielder needs to make up his mind to cut the rain off in a sword.

Iris closed her eyes, her mind floating the movements of the matchmaker. Its move is extremely swift, yet not losing its flexibility. Even when dealing with the sword moves of many people, it is able to resist with ease.

Iris picked up the sword aside and wielded it. This time Iris treated the sword as a part of her body, putting body, mind, energy, and power into the sword technique.

Iris raised the sword and waved it, and the sword energy shattered the wall of basement.

Iris walked up and stroked the wall: "This is even stronger than the sword energy of water-shaped that sister Mavis just performed. If I attach the Elemental Magic on my sword energy, won it be able to destroy the basement wall?"

"This sword recipe is really strong!" Iris could not help but exclaim.
