    Seeing Wyatt finally refine his running technique to efficiently and effectively utilize the parameters of his spiritual body and run faster, the Card Intent nodded in approval, feeling validated. However, it refrained from celebrating, aware that. Wyatt''s running technique would only work within the limited scope of his current spiritual body. It was unlikely to be as effective in the physical ne, where he would be in his physical body which when in mortal constraints wasn''t fueled by willpower like his spiritual body. At best he could use his technique for a small sprint.


    The Card Intent wanted to move on to the next phase of training but decided to allow Wyatt some time to savor the fruits of his hard work, knowing the intense rivalry he had with his own clone. While the rivalry seemed peculiar, it acknowledged that it spurred Wyatt to achieve his goals faster. Encouraged by this, the Card Intent began revising Wyatt''s training regimen, overhauling it to include subtle tests to evaluate if Wyatt had the potential to be a Martial Schr,


    Meanwhile, the primordial spirit, focused solely on the race, pushed itself to regain its fastest pace. However, it found that it couldn''t just catch up with Wyatt-the gap between them continued to grow wider. Soon, Wyatt was so far ahead that he disappeared from its line of sight, only to reappear behind it, overtaking it once again. This time, Wyatt didn''t taunt it with his unusual hideous sneer. Instead, he cast a pitying nce that made the primordial spirit feel insignificant. For the spirit, whose only motivation to surpass Wyatt was to prove its worth, that look of pity was like a dagger to its heart. Yet, it only fueled its determination. Having seen Wyatt ovee his weaknesses and outpace it, the primordial spirit believed it, too, could achieve the


    same.


    Tuning out all distracting thoughts, the primordial spirit pushed itself to run harder and faster. Yet, despite its resolve, it found no way to summon the power needed to increase its pace. No matter how hard it tried, its body seemed unable to produce the required speed. Watching Wyatt alternately sneer and pity it as he repeatedly passed by, the primordial spirit realized that its body-being a replica of Wyatt''s-was undoubtedly capable of greater speed. However, it couldn''t fathom how to tap into that power.


    In its desperation, the primordial spirit briefly entertained the idea that Wyatt might be cheating, perhaps altering the array that restricted them to their mortal states. However, it quickly dismissed the thought. It knew Wyatt well enough to understand


    that winning through such a method would bring him no satisfaction. As if were to cheat he would be cheating himself and defeating the purpose of the training, which was to hone his ability to apply his immense strength, control, and power.


    Moreover, the Card Intent wouldn''t idly stand by and allow such behavior. While it ultimately served Wyatt as its master, its purpose was to guide him onto the Martial Path. Even if it couldn''t directly stop him from cheating, it would certainly protest. Interestingly, during this contemtion, the primordial spirit had effortlessly maintained a consistent pace, something Wyatt was unable to do.


    The primordial spirit suddenly shook its head stoping itself from taking a detour and cleared its mind for a fresh perspective. Just then, Wyatt happened to pass it throwing a sneer at it. This time however, instead of his sneer, what caught its eye was Wyatt''s posture when running. Wondering if they were the reason Wyatt was able to run faster, it began to mimic them to dot. Soon, the results were clear to it, it was able to run with more ease and found spare energy to run faster.


    Wyatt technique to run efficiently and faster was no intricate martial arts, anyone with a little brain and know how of running could copy it by looking it. Being Wyatt''s primordial spirit it wasn''t hard for his clone to copy his moments with a single nce and mimic them perfectly. Now it was able to summon a speed matching Wyatt''s. However, it did not take off trying to catch Wyatt. Instead, it wait for Wyatt knowing if they ran at same speed the distance gap between them would remain constant. Since it could not run faster, it chose to run slower and let Wyatt catch up with it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Wyatt had his fill of his revenge, however he continued to run to make up for the extraps the primordial spirit had over his head and then some more. That way he would have wonpletely and could rigtiously ask the primordial to give up. Until, then he would continue enjoying the desperation on his primordial spirits face everytime he passed by it, taunting it, giving it a taste of its own medicine.


    Wyatt, just as usual, easily caught up with his primordial spirit. However, when he tried to run past it leaving it in his dust, he found that the primordial spirit was able to keep up with him. He wonder if let his thoughts slow him down but found that wasn''t the case he was running at his top speed. Then how was his primordial spirit able to keep up with him?


    Soon, taking note of his primordial spirit''s posture while running and its well timed steps, Wyatt understood that it had not only seen through his trick but also shamelessly copied it. While this realization donned on Wyatt, learning the impact of the perfect posture and well measured and timed steps on its running, allowing it to run efficiency and speed, the primordial spirit felt like a new door was open up in its mind and reaching it, it had a sudden enligthenement and its body began to emit a brilliant light undergoing subtle transformation.


    As the light vanished, the primordial spirits eyes look profounder and enigmatic, it was impossible to tell what it was thinking, However, soon it ran past Wyatt and leaving him in the dust. In non time it was behind Wyatt and darted past him. This time it did not have any thoughts of taunting, rather it was focused on improving its running technique on the go with a one track mind not entertaining any distractions. Wyatt gritted his teeth trying to keep up and learn from his primordial spirit''s posture just as it did knowing that it had gained somekind of enlightenment pity it was just about running efficiently and faster. Meanwhile, Card intent who was watching all this was astonished to its core.
