Murim Recurve

Thanks to her master's arrangement, Re'Kha possessed two Pranic Avatars now, the Balou, and the Rupak. The Balou was possessed by everyone in the Burkurel Re Clan. But as for the Rupak, she was its sole possessor.

Every Pranic Avatar had its distinct traits, both positive and negative. And, their traits determined their value. As for the Balou, it wasn't anything special. But, it possessed tough skin and was able to accelerate for a short distance.

This gave the Harmonisers possessing it the ability to charge through a crowd in battles. Moreover, if there was something that blocked their paths, they could depend on their Balou to ram through it.

Possessing a tough defence, armoured from top to bottom, and the ability to accelerate for short distances, it was the perfect tank. Moreover, it was a water attributed beast. So, it was even stronger during the Water Season.

To the Burkurel Re Clan, it was one of their best choices.

As for the Rupak, it had two traits. The first was being able to completely take on the form of the Elemental Qi used to summon it. So, when it was summoned using Water Qi, it would be a being of water. The case was the same for Wood Qi and Wind Qi.

Its second trait was being able to morph its size. It couldn't change itself too much but was still able to expand and shrink to a certain extent. When it is a beast in the wild, this trait wasn't pronounced enough, since compressing and expanding flesh and bones wasn't an easy issue.

But as a Pranic Avatar, its body was made by the Elemental Qi. So, such changes were possible. Though, it did consume some Elemental Qi in the process.

Now that she used Wind Qi to summon it, the Rupak's body was composed of air. Without any dust to highlight it, it was invisible to the naked eye. Still, Re'Kha couldn't be careless. After all, it was holding the paper bit in its beak.

Even though it was tiny, it was still visible to anyone that saw it. After all, Rupak's body was entirely transparent. So, people would be able to notice the piece of paper moving. That was why she was careful.

She and the Rupak had shared thoughts. They were one and the same. So, Re'Kha didn't even need to give it any instructions. It was just an extension of her body that operated individually.

Closing her eyes, Re'Kha rested, placing all her concentration on the Rupak. At present, it was just a palm-sized bird that had left her box and landed on the floor immediately. It was risky flying above, in fear someone might notice the tiny piece of paper flying past.

Even though the auction house was fairly dim, all Harmonisers had impressive eyesight. So, there wasn't a chance they might miss seeing it fly past them. To avoid that, the Rupak moved on the floor, away from the attention of everyone.

Using the path of traversal that they used to enter their respective boxes, the Rupak moved past. As it was hidden from the view of everyone, it was the perfect place for it to fly past. Moreover, its wings flapped continuously, allowing it to hover in one place like a statue. The only thing that would move would be its wings.

It was similar to a hummingbird.

Soon, the Rupak reached the end of the row and entered the path on the side of the auction house. It swiftly made a turn and entered the row forward, keeping track of the situation as it moved.

As the entire auction house was in her Wind Qi perception, Re'Kha kept watch on the people; the Rupak only moved when their attention wasn't anywhere near the place it was moving through. This way, the Rupak managed to reach the first row without being noticed.

The only thing to be noticed was the piece of paper in its beak. It was a tiny object to be noticed.

It was slightly risky from this point onwards as the Rupak arrived at one corner and moved behind a curtain, using it to scale up. It had to be as slow as possible to not shake the curtain and make it apparent something was moving within.

Thankfully, the attention of everyone was on the mural. After confirming that the attention of everyone was indeed on the mural, the Rupak exited the curtain and landed on the stage. Half of the stage was curtained, allowing for the people working behind to keep track of the situation and join in to reinforce if something turned amiss.

The Rupak had difficulties but it still managed to reach the centre of the stage by using the curtain, arriving behind the mural. It then crept up the mural, stopped right before reaching the top and spat out the paper bit after taking careful aim.

Thanks to the Wind Qi perception, Re'Kha was able to arrange everything perfectly and act accordingly. Still, she had spent a lot of time in this process.

The paper bit made a small arc and landed on the fur coat of the auctioneer lady. As she was part of the Royal Clan, Re'Kha thought giving her a heads up would be the best course of action. As everything happened behind her, no one managed to notice anything amiss.

As for the two young Harmonisers that had pushed the mural on the trolley, they were busy moving it out of the stage and hence hadn't noticed Rupak's action. The moment the paper bit landed on her fur coat, the auctioneer lady felt it immediately.

She just acted natural, making it seem like she was adjusting her hair a little as she felt around the fur coat, picking up the paper bit. Upon sensing it based on touch, she was puzzled for a moment, shooting a glance at the two young Harmonisers that were moving forth the mural.

'Strange, where did this come from?' She was confused, unable to detect anything around her that could possibly do it. She then gave the two young Harmonisers some instructions, acting as if they were facing some difficulties in moving out the mural that was akin to a wall.

Using it as the reason, she appeared backstage and quickly opened the paper bit, frowning immediately.
