"Be careful when you’re walking around Your sister has just gone to bed She has preparatory practice for the tournament tomorrow" Eisen put down the paper, finished his coffee and said, "Since you're back, I' off to bed too Don't wait up for ht" Garen rested on the sofa for a bit, drank a glass of water, and watched his father close the bedrooer until he heard the lights go off inside the roohts, and went into his own room

He sat by his desk and switched on the desk laold coin froold coin was the size of a walnut and was as thick as a noralleon in full sail against the wind Above the galleon was a snake with its mouth open, ready to bite

On the bottom of the coin was a nuht's suit of arled upwards, and a helarland encircled the whole armor

Garen rubbed on the coin repeatedly He could olden color beneath the black paint froold coin

As he pressed a finger to the dark gold spots, and the Potential on the bottom of his vision jolted

"That's it?"

Garen silently put down the gold coin

Ever since he’d accrued a few Attribute points at the old man's place, he hadn't used any of theinally intended to add them to the White Cloud Secret Method, but later considered that it would probably be better to add them to the Explosive Fist Arts After all, that was the technique that would give the best results in a short aetting anything out of the book ever since he borrowed it from the old man, which made him even

"I thought I could find soanization that’s stolen so old coin Should I dees?"

He shook his head, then hid the gold coin in the desk drawer

"Since this is adragged into it" Recalling hoas stabbed without warning earlier, he broke into a cold sweat

"If I hadn’t trained in Explosive Fist Arts which hardened my skin, that stab could have killed er, and with soht of this, a shiver ran down his spine

"I'll just stay focused on going to school and practicing erous It's better if I just leave it to professional detectives like Dale Quicksilver"

He made up his mind not to meddle in this matter anymore The Bronze Cross Emblem was valuable, but there was a new source of Potential froet any et the eradually faded

"I'll use the last bit of Potential on the White Cloud Secret Method The sooner I add to it, the faster in to increase"

He pondered for a second, and finally cast his line of sight onto the White Cloud Secret Method in the Skills pane

Slowly, the stream of qi from his brain flowed out and entered one of the iteave a shake and gradually blurred, upgrading fro through his brain The 'advanced' instantly blurred and reverted to 'intermediate' A current flooded back into Garen's brain

"What's going on?" He frowned and carefully reviewed the Skills pane

A new syed after 'White Cloud Secret Method'

Even though he didn't kno to pronounce it, Garen strangely understood its : "Infors of the Secret Method were incomplete The key to the advanced Secret Method should be in the hands of the dojo masters and key disciples," Garen deduced the truth of the ht on Explosive Fist Arts Similarly, after the Attribute points were added to it, the words blurred then reverted to 'ele of which Garen again immediately understood

"Does the inter stimulation as a simultaneous therapy? Otherwise, it would harm the body and mind…" He ell aware that, to have been initiated in Explosive Fist Arts without any assistance, was extremely fortuitous

It would be the same for the White Cloud Secret Method The dojo would naturally want to maintain certain core eleive it all away in one go, otherwise they wouldn't be so established

"So it seems that, to enhance my martial art powers, I have to elevate rated here, almost all of his time had been spent on his fascination withthat he could only dream of on Earth, he could actually be exposed to here This had always made Garen excited And now that he understood the importance of martial arts and the security it provided, his pursuit of it had beco so as he could participate in the dojo's internal qualifying tournaain the attention of the high-level core figures

"I've added to Vitality, Strength and Intelligence before I should just add to Agility this tiht as well add to it" attitude toward Attribute points

Co point no matter which items he added his Attribute points to

After all, he had an ordinary body enhanced by Attribute points

On top of that, the stabilizing effect of Potentials meant that once he reached a certain level of a Potential, even if he didn't really train much, the body could still ress If he didn't practice martial arts to build up his physicality under such favorable circumstances, even he felt that it would be a sinful waste
