They all call me Great Master

```

What kind of person was Hercules?

Most people who knew this master would definitely place prefixes such as great, genius, and inconceivable before his name.

A smaller group of people even insisted that this master was the 'God of Potions,' the 'God of Alchemy.'

Either way, with the legendary deeds of this master, his status would continue to soar over time.

However, Arthur was different from others.

Having read through three pages of the other party's diary, Arthur discovered another side of this master—a penchant for playfulness and even pranks!

After all, one who could create the [Stone Bullet Technique] to play stone bullets and [Gliding Technique] to glide on ice must be extremely fond of play.

Similarly, the adaptation of the [Hand of Void] was likely due to this master wanting to escape the tedious work at the library and have more time to play, thus 'growing a few extra hands.'

Then, to make the whole thing more interesting, he concealed a great deal of key information, leaving it to others to guess.

If you guessed it, this master would be pleased, considering it an interesting game.

If you failed to guess, this master would be even more pleased, considering himself the winner of the game.

In any case, would such a master leave a 'trick up his sleeve' in the seemingly perfected [Hand of Void], as a key to breakthrough?

Yes!

The likelihood was extremely high!

Thinking thus, Arthur directly took out the master's diary—the page that recorded [Hand of Void].

He examined it closely.

There were no clues whatsoever.

Then, he let the [Hand of Void] touch it.

There was no reaction whatsoever.

Next, he had six [Hands of Void] pick up the diary page together.

Immediately, the diary page reacted.

The [Glyphic Language] on the paper came alive at that moment, rapidly rearranging themselves—

Finally, a map appeared before Arthur.

It was a map of an unfamiliar terrain, not one that Arthur recognized.

And on that map, there was only one place name.

Rainbow Island!

Looking at this place name, Arthur's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He had never heard of this island, at least not near South Los.

'Could it be near Sidon Fortress?

Or maybe it's not in South County at all, but North County?

Or even...

Is this name from the era of the Empire?'

Arthur speculated, with an involuntary wry smile in his eyes.

If it were just Sidon Fortress, that would be fine; even being far in North County wouldn't be an issue, but if 'Rainbow Island' was a name from the time of the Empire, then his search for this place would be much more complicated.

As for following the map to find the place?

Even more unlikely!

The several wars in the late Empire completely altered the landscape.

There are even rumors in records that there was a wide tract of land between the East and West Coasts, which then sank entirely due to those massive battles.

However, most historians believe this to be sheer fabrication.

Because, in the remaining records of the Empire, there was no mention of this landmass.

Arthur was not interested in this.

```

He just hoped it would be easier to know where "Rainbow Island" was.

And...

The page of the diary that recorded the "Hand of Void" underwent such changes, so did that mean "Stone Bullet Technique" and "Gliding Technique" could as well?

If it were an ordinary person, Arthur was fairly certain of it.

After all, such useful methods, it wasn't possible to use only once.

But when it came to this Master, Arthur wasn't sure.

He couldn't confirm whether this could be another trick by the Master—just imagine, after going through so much trouble, elevating the "Stone Bullet Technique" and "Gliding Technique" to their limits, and then nothing happens, the Master would surely laugh heartily.

After all, enhancing the "Stone Bullet Technique" and "Gliding Technique" was no simple task.

"Stone Bullet Technique" required 100 XP starting from Lv2.

And "Gliding Technique" started at 500 XP from the beginning.

These were just two secret techniques at Lv1, Lv2, and raising them further consumed so much XP that it gave Arthur a headache, not to mention the energy and time it would take for ordinary people.

It would probably take a lifetime indeed!

'This old codger!' he thought.

Just picturing that scenario made Arthur involuntarily add a title of respect for the Master.

Afterward, the young 'Spirit Medium' shook his head, set aside the matter of "Rainbow Island" for the time being, and proceeded with the planned learning of 'Silent Successive Steps' and 'Cat's Grace.Orange'!

The former required 100 XP, the latter 30 XP.

And from "Extreme Illusory Shadow Technique (Fragmentary)," it was slightly pushed back, placed at the front of the second tier.

No other reason.

One, there wasn't enough XP!

Two, Arthur needed 'Silent Successive Steps' and 'Cat's Grace.Orange' to consolidate his identity as part of the 'Cat Faction.'

[Silent Successive Steps Lv1: Once one of the core mystical arts of the 'Cat Hole,' it is the most favored and mandatory mystical art for all 'Cat Hole' members. Not only does it enhance the learner's physique, but it greatly improves the learner's coordination. However, it must be preceded by the 'Cat Hole' ritual. Otherwise, irreversible mutations will occur]

[Effect: 1, Silence Lv1; 2, Tread Combo Lv1]@@novelbin@@

[Silence Lv1: When moving slowly and cautiously, you can achieve true silence]

[Tread Combo Lv1: When running or leaping, any protruding object can become a support for you to push off and jump from]

[Physique +0.2]

…

[Cat's Grace.Orange Lv1: As the 'Cat Hole' split into four factions, the original core mystical art 'Cat's Grace' was divided as well, and each cat faction infused their understanding and style into it, resulting in the current variation. Especially 'Cat's Grace.Orange,' deeply influenced by that 'Golden Lion Cat' Aeolia, puts more emphasis on physique and recovery on top of the original basis—in the eyes of an Orange Cat, the ability to eat and sleep is the source of all that is good. To protect this happiness, they need to keep growing and getting bigger, using their massive size and tremendous strength to press their opponents]

[Effect: 1, Force of Orange; 2, Sleep of Orange]

[Force of Orange Lv1: Quickly digested food converts energy to strengthen internal organs, bones, and muscles, enhancing one's physique; Physique +0.1]

[Sleep of Orange Lv1: While sleeping, you can enter a fast rehabilitation and recovery state,]

(Note 1: Force of Orange and Sleep of Orange will be enhanced by the ritual 'Cat's Grace.Orange,' and they will in turn enhance 'Cat's Grace.Orange')

(Note 2: More food will accelerate the healing and recovery process)

…

Arthur's gaze swept over "Silent Successive Steps" and "Cat's Grace.Orange." It was clear that unlike the ritual "Cat's Grace.Orange," which grows over time, "Silent Successive Steps" and "Cat's Grace.Orange" did not have this trait, especially the latter, which seemed like a castrated and fragmentary version of "Cat's Grace.Orange."

However, what comforted Arthur was that "Cat's Grace.Orange" received an enhancement and feedback from "Cat's Grace.Orange."

'After 'Cat Hole' split into four, the potency of the 'Cat Faction' secret techniques clearly dropped by more than one level, but due to the continuity of lineage, there is the effect of feedback, which means that it can rapidly strengthen 'Cat Hole' members—tsk, the original split of 'Cat Hole' couldn't have been to rapidly grow stronger, and then because they all grew too strong, they simply couldn't go back, could it?' he thought.

With this thought in mind, Arthur glanced at the remaining 262 XP, and then made his decision.

This level was far from his limit—

'XP, add points!

Elevate me to the limit!'
