Chapter 229 Knight Links vs Five Aspects
[Chapter 228 Comments.]
[Keltic_Spirit: I have noticed a trend, every power at it's peak always seems to embody 1 thing, which encompasses everything. Cut through everything, sense everything. I would be cool if 1 power is just itself.]

Avalon could see Maya's new strength. She moved so smoothly, leaving all her opponents in the dust. Even he might not be able to defeat her that easily because of that prediction ability.
However, Avalon had to find the answer he was looking for.
"Thank you." The horse landed on top of a building. Avalon hurriedly jumped off and said, "Please help Maya while I'm here. I'm going to take this time to think about the advice."@@novelbin@@
*Ngieeh!* The dragon horse nodded before leaping off the building.
Avalon then sat down on the ground while closing his eyes so that he could focus on his thoughts.
"The Five Aspects, huh? The teacher has taught us that the Five Aspects consist of Awareness, Breathing, Control, Technique, and Endurance. Awareness is sharpening all five senses to reach a new level. In fact, I think it's pretty similar to what Maya has. If she wants to get stronger, this should be something she focuses on.
"Breathing, on the other hand, focuses on the patterns of breathing. This is the most important thing in martial arts. The breath will give oxygen to your body, which produces the energy needed to do all sorts of movements.
"Control is basically the way to utilize one's essence. Essence is basically the core of all worlds. They have their own energy, which is being generalized as the essence. By controlling the essence, one can surpass their limits and do magical things. While the Knight Link looks like a physical technique, it's actually closely related to its essence.
"Technique is the utilization of muscle and mastery, forming an original technique that only we can use. People have their own body traits, characteristics, shapes, and other things unique to them. Creating a new technique will allow the body to be programmed to unleash something that normal people can't.
"Endurance is the simplest one. It's basically stamina and defense. When utilized properly, the teacher claimed that it could actually increase regenerative ability and make the body as hard as steel.
"The teacher said that I need to utilize the Knight Link like how the Five Aspects boost my ability. What does he mean exactly?"
Avalon fell silent for a moment. "The Knight Link is a kind of blessing that is inherited from latent talent and gets awakened later. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
"It's a technique used to surpass a human's limit. However, the Knight Link has four distinct traits: Pure, Unique, Special, and Chaotic.
"I have Pure Trait, which is basically improving my physical strength to the very limit. Unique trait boosts your ability by bestowing that power. Special Trait allows one to manifest their power in a certain way.
"Maya has the last one, Chaotic Trait. It will boost her body depending on her emotions. She looks confident and very expressive, so it truly suits her the most.
"Meanwhile, I wonder what I can do when I only have the Pure Trait, which is the most common trait?
"I have been learning from my family by utilizing it. But sooner or later, I might not be able to compete against Maya.
"How do I even utilize the Knight Link like the Five Aspects?" Avalon took a deep breath, trying his best to imagine it.
But no matter how he twisted it, he couldn't imagine the connection between the Knight Link and the Five Aspects.
"They sure boost the person's abilities, but the Five Aspects are produced by training while the Knight Links are spread through the lines on our body. Those lines are actually the place where we concentrate our essence. When activating the Knight Link, they will spread and distribute the essence to boost the part of the body. The way we utilize the Knight link and the Five Aspects are different… Maybe the teacher doesn't know this?
"Still, Teacher Theo has never said something useless. If I choose to trust him, I have to find the connection…"
Avalon stood up. "I can study from books, but I'm not really good at solving such a complex problem."
There was only one way for him to really solve this problem. It was to test it himself.
"Awareness… Focusing on my senses while activating my Knight Link."
The link on Avalon's back started glowing before lines spread all over his body. He felt the surge of strength, but that was all. He could punch this building and create a hole in the concrete, but that was the limit.
"It's true that because of this, my senses are sharper since the muscles on the ears, nose, and skin are enhanced. However, I don't think I can control it… Speaking of Control, isn't it just controlling the essence? Now that I think about it, the Knight Link is a line that becomes a tunnel to distribute the essence.
"By controlling the breathing, we can control how much energy we can release and gather. By creating a technique, we can program our body to do everything from the energy input to the utilization. By increasing endurance, the body will reach a certain level to utilize its true power.
"If you think about it this way, all Five Aspects are actually linked with one another. Is this what the teacher is trying to say? Something that can actually connect all the benefits the Knight Link has?
"And what is the thing that can do such a thing other than the essence? Even if we have the Knight Link, if we don't have the essence, we can feel the boost…
"Controlling the essence?" Avalon furrowed his eyebrows. "I said earlier that the knight link is like a tunnel… Can I actually control the tunnel to adjust the rate of essence being sent?"
Avalon took a deep breath. He wasn't someone who could find his answer in his mind. If he wanted to know about it, his body had to experience it.
Without hesitation, Avalon raised his stance and punched forward.
"No. It's not like this." Avalon didn't produce anything special from that punch. He then tried the second time while trying to supply more energy into the knight link. However, the result was the same.
"No! How about this?"
Avalon tried again.
He might not have the brain to solve the puzzle, but he certainly had the persistence to find that answer.
Every second, a punch was thrown.
He did everything he could to speed up the process so that Maya wouldn't be in danger by waiting too long.
…
…
Maya was fighting against the zombies as hard as possible. But, as expected, it started taking a toll on her mind.
Processing all the data took a lot of energy, so she started panting after cutting down a hundred zombies.
Suddenly, a Tier 3 zombie came toward her and punched her. Maya reacted a tad too late and used the robotic arm to block it instead, which allowed the Tier 3 zombie to launch her into the air.
She landed outside, giving them the opportunity to fix their ranks. The situation had just gotten worse for her.
But that was also the time she felt a change. Exactly five minutes after Avalon began experimenting with his power, a loud 'boom' shook the area.
What do you think?
