Ved had to admit, he was quite interested in the idea of having proper training but he would be damned if he had to grovel to that stupid rusty spear.

So he ignored it and checked his status.

( Obtained 4.32 evolution points.) Those were a lot of points, they made him contemplate solely hunting rank 4 beasts but he quickly killed that thought.

While he might win, the danger was a bit much for his liking. He would only fight them if he had to, without any other choice but what constitutes not having a choise was up to debate.

Ved was happy, the ocean was really heaven made for him. He can't even begin to image how long it would've taken him to accumulate so many points on the island.

The only disappointing thing was his size, the rate at which his body was growing was significantly slower than his points but it made sense.

He had to get 40 evolution points just to be 15 metres long so he understood why the points to body ratio was so different.

He continued swimming at a leisurely pace. The spear continued ranting but he had tuned it out until it said " With that sharp soul force of yours, I bet I can teach you some awesome spear move."

His ears perked and he replied. ' Thank you but I don't think I want to use spears.' the spear scoffed, it voice burning with disdain.

" Ofcourse you can't, not just anything can use a spear, only noble masters are qualified to wield spears." Ved almost laughed, he was pretty certain spears were the most common weapon wielded by foot soldiers.

But he didn't argue with the vessel spirit, he still needed it to teach him. It continued " Now, all you have to do is beg this lord to teach your lowly self.

And be grateful about it, being under my tutelage will probably be your greatest achievement."

Ved had to admit, it self importance was unmatched but he was never going to beg. Fortunately he had another way to make it comply.

He didn't say anything, he didn't have to and just loosened the strings tying it to his back. It slid on his scales and fell on the ocean.

What followed was shouting, threatening, promises and the most pathetic begging Ved had ever seen.

He put it back on his back. It grumbled " One day you will regret this." He grinned ' Sure, but not today, now get to it.'

" Fine, fine. Show me you soul force again." Ved covered his body with his soul force. " Okay that enough." It said and he cancelled his soul force.

It gave him a deep look as if contemplating something. " Your soul force is sharp, very sharp. Which is strange since I have not detected any blade, spear or arrow type abilities from you.

Nor do you look like a metal type drake. Infact I can't tell what type of ugly deformity you are." Ved took that insult and kept quiet.

He was keeping track of all the times it insulted him and one day he was going to pay it back for everything, with interest.

It continued " I'm going to start with spear type martial arts. Since you can't use a spear you will use your claws and tail as a spear."

It paused for a moment then said. " Stab forward with your claws." Ved complied and stabbed forward as hard and fast as he could.

The water exploded like a bomb detonated. Ved was proud of himself, his arm really had super strength. He looked at the vessel spirit and it gave him the most disdainful look possible.

" You are dumber than I thought. Why is hand opened like that? Put your claws together to direct the force into a single point or atleast a narrow point."

Ved was embarrassed, he should've thought of that, afterall he was trying to imitate a spear but he was too used to slashing out with his claws opened like a bear.

He tried to put them together but it was harder than he had expected. His scaly fingers were not as flexible as a humans.

Eventually he did it with a little bit of effort. " You need to work on that. Now then, stab." He stabbed forward and his claws cut through the water like a spear.

But the water still exploded, the force behind his attack was spread out like before. He frowned, he did exactly as the vessel spirit said so why didn't it work.

Maybe the spirit was just a bad teacher. It spoke in a flabbergasted voice. " Are you really dumb? Why didn't you use your will to contain the force?"

Ved got angry.' How was I supposed to know that? Don't blame for your own incompetence as a teacher.' He huffed in anger.

The vessel spirit sighed, it voice got softer. " You are right, it is my fault. I expected a lowly beast to use their brain, truly foolish of me."

Ved's veins throbbed, he was finding it hard to restrain himself. Then he sighed and calmed himself down, he should've expected an insult from the vessel spirit, he responded.

' No no no don't blame yourself, the fault lies with me, I really expected too much from a scrap metal. That was really stupid of me I'm sorry.'

The vessel spirit glared at him with rage. " I will not dignify that with a response. Now, stop being a waste of air and do as I say."

He shaped his will, technically what he was doing was using telekinesis but instead of lifting some object he wrapped the telekinetic force around his claws.

It was the simple principle as when he used his will to stabilize the world around him so he wouldn't cause sonic booms when he breaks the sound barrier.

It felt like an invisible glove he could control with his mind. " Now then, stab as fast as you can while trying to make sure the force does not explode everywhere."

Ved complied, he pulled his arm back and took a breath which just sent water through his nose then he stabbed out.
