. System is that you... apparently not. He then opened his eyes and looked towards the pond. Bondo was trying to communicate with him. Why... a..m .. I still alive Came a voice.

Edward looked over towards the pond. Ah it would seem you have regained your consciousness said Edward to bondo. It would seem so replied bondo. Thogh I feel stronger and I feel strange bondo said. I'm where to start said Edward. First your not really alive. In my attempt to save you since you helped me, I tried to do a heart transplant on you. Apparently either my lack of skill or the fact you were near dead for to long basically turned you into A zombie .

A zombie came bondos reply. But more of a question. Yes until moments ago you would attack anything in front of you. Despite having the master slave contract seal on you.

Where did you find that spell wondered bondo. Well I picked up a few things in the dungeon said Edward, without going into detail.

Well what know asked bondo, I won't attack you would you mind releasing me. Umm about that I only have this one spell frost palm in my spell tomb so your going to have to stay put while I learn something else, plus I'm going to study your reactions for a while. Want to make sure you don't go back to being a mindless zombie again.

Oh very well replied bondo not like I get a say anyway. Never heard of the stronger mage being subordinated though, though I feel strange energy in me other than mana said bondo.

Ah that would probably be chi, from you having taken over that cultivators heart said Edward. Heres a diagram of chi meditation for you to study you start from the heart and circulate... it only goes up to level 3 I think not sure, developed it from scavenging.

Its hard to get mana and chi diagrams unless your in a clan or sect said bondo. Maybe becoming your subordinate wasn't such a bad deal after all. I was only level 2 but now I am nearly level 3. That should have taken 5-10 years of work..... .
