They all call me Great Master

Mentally adding points, the text appeared before his eyes—

[Swift Bird Swordsmanship Lv1: This is one of the high order sword techniques developed by the nobles of South County to stimulate and complete their own bloodline. The Golden Lion Family, over the next hundred years, further integrated fighting skills from 'Assassin. Shadowflow' and 'Assassin. Bloodflow', turning it into a sword technique that not only targets special bloodline effects but also enables quick and efficient target elimination. During the Seven Years' War, when the Old Lion partially disclosed it, it caused a great stir. Lisop learned a simplified version and profoundly sensed its uniqueness, and thereafter spent thirty years gathering breathing methods and meditation techniques, hoping to deepen the legacy of the Lisop Family—and at this moment, you have just entered the beginner level and cannot yet experience its true effect.]

[Effects: 1, Extreme Speed; 2, Quick Strike]

[Extreme Speed: When you employ the Swift Bird Sword Posture, your speed will be +1 above your natural physical strength.]

[Quick Strike: When you employ the Swift Bird Sword Posture, the speed of your next sword strike increases by +0.3, and this effect can stack up to 3 times consecutively.]

...

[Physical Strength, Spirituality +0.3]

...

'Entry Level, and the real effects haven't manifested yet?

Could it be that the stimulation and completion of my own bloodline only occur at the limit?'

Arthur squinted his eyes and began spending 200 XP to raise [Swift Bird Swordsmanship] to Lv2.

The speed of [Extreme Speed] immediately became +2.

The speed of [Quick Strike] became +0.5.

He also gained [Physical Strength, Spirituality +0.3] once again.

Besides that, there were no other changes.

Arthur frowned, looking at the remaining 500 XP and took a deep breath to control his impulse.

Level 3 of [Swift Bird Swordsmanship] now required 400 XP, according to this rate, level 4 would be 800 XP.

And for level 5, it would be 1600 XP.

However, Arthur, with his extensive experience in advancing secret technique levels, knew that the limit for level 5 would definitely not be just 1600.

He might need several times, or even over ten times that amount of XP.

'I simply don't have enough XP!' Arthur exclaimed inwardly.

Then, the young 'Spirit Medium' started to seriously consider the hidden relic in the Docklands.

Exploration could also yield XP.

If the relic's level was high enough, he might gain a large amount.

If one relic wasn't enough, then he would explore several more.

Arthur stroked his chin, beginning to contemplate his approach to Deljo of the 'Storm Sword'.

Originally, Arthur had planned to collaborate with Marinda once, betray her, and smoothly gain the qualifications to enter that hidden relic for exploration.

However, now Arthur had to rethink his strategy.

'Storm Sword' Deljo had a complete exploration team.

Could this team, including 'Storm Sword' Deljo himself, become his?

If it were usual times, it would naturally be extremely difficult.

But with the advantage of having 'observed' a scene in the Docklands through Wuni's eyes, he felt quite confident.

Of course, he still needed to inform Marinda!

Only, the timing needed to be slightly delayed to achieve the best effect!

Thinking internally, Arthur started to learn [Extreme Illusory Shadow Technique] as planned.

[Extreme Illusory Shadow Technique Lv1: The young Harris was once an exceptional explorer, until his fate changed after discovering the ruined laboratory of a Mystic Side Person; it seemed that a significant explosion had occurred there, yet upon thorough searching, there were still some gains to be found. Picking up bits and pieces of information, young Harris began his studies, coming into contact with some forbidden powers: 'Shadows'—through continuous human experiments, he gradually completed this secret technique, believing that once he mastered it, he could obtain everything he desired, after all, that was the core legacy of the 'Gray Robe' from the 'Tower of Mist'. Even to his death, Harris had not fulfilled his wish; however, you, possessing a unique bloodline, have completed this technique mingled with the forbidden power 'Death' and some 'Shadows', making it somewhat different from the original—because it has become stronger!]

As for you now? You have just entered the beginner level!]

[Effects: 1, Shadow Stab; 2, Shadow Devour; 3, Shadow Flash]

[Shadow Stab: Mobilize the shadows within a 15-meter radius of you, forming 1-22 spear-like 'Shadow Spikes' to attack your opponent. When there is only one 'Shadow Spike', it will possess the highest attack power at the current Arcana level. As the number of 'Shadow Spikes' increases, their power will decline respectively. Each 'Shadow Spike' cannot exceed 15 meters in length]

[Shadow Devour: Each 'Shadow Stab' contains a unique eroding energy of the shadows]

[Shadow Flash: You can teleport short distances not exceeding 5 meters through shadows, each time consuming a lot of physical strength]

...

As the text appeared before his eyes, the synchronization of knowledge and body began.

Arthur flipped through the knowledge in his mind, his heart slightly stirred.

Immediately, the shadows inside No. 2 Cork Street began to tremble rapidly.

Just having achieved 'victory,' and parading around on Kuliqi, the boastful Pendragon was immediately startled.

What bewildered Pendragon even more was that its master disappeared from in front of it and reappeared behind it.

"Hehe, little kitty!

Are you surprised?

Tell daddy, did it startle you?"

Arthur scooped up his little cat from Kuliqi's dog head, letting out bursts of strange laughter.

Truthfully, Pendragon was indeed startled at first.

But upon hearing Arthur's familiar strange laugh, disdain immediately appeared on Pendragon's face.

It swayed left and right, struggling vehemently to get back on top of Kuliqi's dog head.

Unfortunately, how could a little kitty escape from its master's embrace?

The firmly bound Pendragon could only watch helplessly as Kuliqi slipped into the yard.

"Meow! Meow!"

The elongated cat cries were filled with grumbling.

But Arthur didn't care.

The recent experiment with [Shadow Flash]had pleased him immensely, the sensation akin to swimming through air, and he hadn't felt any discomfort, only that the distance was a bit short.

However, that was just Lv1 of [Extreme Illusory Shadow Technique].

As the level increased, it would certainly improve.

And the power!

Lv1 of [Shadow Stab]already possessed 'Arcana Level' power, could it be said it was a formidable force completed with his bloodline?

'At Lv5, would it directly 'Ascend Step'?'

Arthur speculated.

This speculation was highly probable.

However, reaching this stage wouldn't be easy.

The XP gap was too significant.

Lv2 of [Extreme Illusory Shadow Technique]needed 800 XP.

By inference, Lv3 would be 1600, Lv4 would be 3200.

As for Lv5?

Arthur chuckled, picked up his little cat, and prepared to go to sleep.

No more thinking, it was too much.

Thinking further would only give him a headache.

Just as Arthur had lain down, a figure that appeared in the vision of Fujin on the roof caused the young 'Spirit Medium' to sit up again.

Because that figure was—
