He trained his body, ate the most nutritious food he could afford and never missed a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Sia awakened, he only increased his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied the fighting styles of masters across the federation and was slowly forming one of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\" The Raging lion looked at the two humans and growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was in an artificial field spanning a few dozen miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, bots would feed it and conduct a check up on its health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the raging lion didn't like its life at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was living as a show piece.? The whole field was monitored by a security system. If the lion tried to cross the field, it would be electrocuted. It had tried too many times to escape and bitterly learnt the lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the visitors were mainly children, they only watched in from afar. No one ventured inside. Even if they did, they were under the supervision of an awakener.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, after awakening, no one would visit a level 0 creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Raging Lion's itch for a hunt was never satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of dying out, the hunger for a fight only increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roa-?\" As it was about to roar once again, Young Varian already entered the field followed by Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security system allowed him to enter after seeing the passes. Of course, the main reason Varian was given the pass was because of Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the park, unawakened children had to be accompanied by awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is so sad.' Varian looked at his children pass and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do your best.\" Sia said and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian put away the negative thoughts and nodded sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he was going to hunt this goddamn thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Raging Lion sensed Sia's aura and did not approach them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Level 1 Mind Awakeners were not physically strong, they could drive an unawakened insane and braindead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian kicked the ground and dashed at the lion. He had the gauntlets on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lion's desire to hunt erupted and it lunged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between them was closed in seconds and they met in mid air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian twisted his body and spun, pulling himself to the left of the lion and punching at its side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch connected and with a muffled sound, the lion's body shook and it crashed onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian landed on the ground and shook his numb arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With blood dripping from its side, the lion's eyes turned bloodshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting strength into its hind legs, it jumped at Varian with breakneck speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian hurriedly sidestepped and barely avoided the lion's paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lion's paw landed on the location he previously stood at, dust rose and a small crack appeared on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as its attack failed, the lion lost its momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the opportunity, Varian punched at its underbelly, forcing a whimper from the animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lion rolled and tried to bite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dodging the expected attack, Varian started inflicting damage on the injured parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the injuries on the lion increased and it was clear that it would die at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian did not notice, but color was draining out of Sia's face with every passing moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fidgeted and tried to calm herself. But no matter what she tried, the feeling inside her was slowly becoming unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It always existed inside her. She couldn't tell what it was, but it was troubling her since she could remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was able to suppress it till now, thanks to her own will and…Varian's help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the most crucial moment of the fight. Sia's heart hung in her throat as she watched the dying lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it died, it would exert its strongest attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a mind awakener, she could stop the attack before it started and not after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stopping it before would disturb Varian's fight, but what if Varian was in danger after the attack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\" The raging lion's muscles expanded and its bones crackled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it bled all over, the lion gave its final roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single push, it appeared in front of Varian and slapped him with its paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's heart nearly stopped at that moment as she prayed. 'Go slow! Go slow! Let him escape! Let him escape!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unspeakable feeling from inside further increased and seemed to have crossed a threshold, nearly causing her to faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sia held on and watched with hopeful eyes as Varian faced the lion's paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell to the ground and rolled away, dodging the attack in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gravel shot out in all directions and a small pit was formed showing the lion's prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the creature fell, Varian rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waving towards her, he pumped his fist into the air. \"Yay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your favorite dishes tonight!\" Sia announced subconsciously before clenching her fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling…it was increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Sia, why are you so pale?\" Varian asked as he approached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I was just worried. You're going to fight level 1 creatures after this. I'm not in a capacity to help right now.\" Sia said with a concerned face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not the reason she was pale, but she was indeed worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian paused for a moment and looked at her biting her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ruffled her hair and said. \"No worries. I'll wait till we can do it safely. Besides, I can still train a lot before that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia nodded and forced a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they exited the Red Rock park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the rules, if a unawakened kills a creature in the park, they would not be fined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakeners could not attack the creatures but could rescue the non-awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this park was basically built to hone the fighting experience of unawakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they boarded the final bus to their home, Varian noticed Sia was trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper and sweat rolled down her forehead as she closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly held her hand and gently rubbed her back. Looking at her with pity, he asked. \"That again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","bc7cf3b14eb9295ba60a814e090ee115c6096d957c9345dee295665945b0ea2c","divine-path-system-chapter-223","divine-path-system-chapter-221",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
