Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

Altaïr was a little puzzled. Are all kids these days so calm and collected?

However, he was also an assassin, so he was naturally calm and patient; patience was an essential skill for him.

Domi wants to lie low, so let him wait.

I wasn't bored at all; in fact, I was a little excited.

After an afternoon of training, Domi had already given him too many surprises. He knew it was unlikely that he could expect any more surprises, but what if something really happened?

Altaïr eagerly awaited the news, while Domi was also busy.

In fact, he wasn't lying low; he was secretly using [Siddhartha Gautama's spiritual insights].

After using Kayn's previous tips, he already knew that this guy was a professional assassin and ninja. He could easily imagine the training required for such a combination of professions, and he was probably similar to him.

So now is the most suitable time to use it! Good things are only good if they can play their proper role, and they shouldn't be hidden away until the New Year.

Time seemed to slow down indefinitely, and he entered a state of profound understanding.

As the white light faded, a peach grove came into view—or rather, a valley of peach blossoms, filled with delicate, vibrant pink petals falling like rain.

A waterfall cascades down a crevice in the center of the valley, its waters gushing forth, and the pool below forms the source of the entire stream.

Various bright and unnamed flowers grow naturally around, birdsong echoes faintly in the forest, and occasional passing creatures rest here. The sun shines brightly and the sky is cloudless, making it a fairyland.

On the gentle slope beside the waterfall, a figure wearing only half a robe sat on the green grass, seemingly one with nature, showing no trace of the previous brutality and ruthlessness, as calm as a seated monk.

Even without relying on his aura, Domi recognized him at a glance; it was a younger version of Kayn, and this was a completely different place.

Just as he was wondering what Kayn was doing, the guy suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from his cross-legged position, as still as a virgin and as swift as a rabbit!

It was at this moment that Domi's perspective shifted to his body.

Power begins to flow from the core of the body, but the way it is used is different now.

Previously, they would go wherever power was needed, but now they channel all their power throughout their bodies, filling every part with it.

The next moment, he stretched out his foot, seemingly light but actually quite steady, and landed firmly on his feet before throwing a punch!

The force of the punch could even blow away flower petals from afar!

After the first punch came a continuous barrage of moves: throat locks, bone breaks, tendon ruptures, jujitsu, grappling... each movement was incredibly crisp, sharp, and deadly.

Because his entire body was filled with power, attacks from any part of his body could deal tons of damage. Combined with his deadly techniques, Domi couldn't imagine how many gold belts such a person could win if he came to a boxing match in his previous life.

Oh no, you can't use these methods in those kinds of matches, since these are all real killing moves.

It's not even in the same universe as those fancy but ineffective techniques!

Domi then realized that Kayn hadn't initially used a scythe, but rather his fists and feet.

He didn't know why, but he just felt very comfortable watching it.

Compared to external weapons like sickles and daggers, the damage he inflicted himself gave him a sense of groundedness.

His strength is directly proportional to his attack power; this is very practical and consistent with his pragmatic approach.

At this moment, when he thought back to the question of whether to choose the dagger or the sickle, Domi felt he had the answer in his heart...

Chapter 35, Section 34: Powerful Brick Flies!

The operation continued, and at the same time, the system did not disappoint him.

Through observation and by understanding the compatibility of movement techniques, he actually acquired a new skill!

【Shadow Flow Movement Technique - Beginner's Guide】

[Description: A versatile movement technique that combines offense and defense, allowing for free movement and swift, deadly strikes that cripple or kill. It is learned by every member of the Shadow Stream Cult upon joining the sect, and it is said that mastering it grants insight into a portion of the world's truths.]

Domi was overjoyed when he saw this; he really did have a talent for body movement techniques!

The only regret is that this learning experience is about to end. If I could have read it a little longer, I might have gained a deeper understanding.

As if hearing Domi's humble wish, the system popped up a notification:

[This review is coming to an end...]

[This review is a 'paid, repeatable' type. You can choose to spend 1000 Villain Points to watch it again, with no limit on the number of times.]

What?! Domi was completely dumbfounded.

What do you mean by "sending a pillow when you're sleepy"? (hands on hips)

Say no more. He has around 350,000 villain points in his hands. He'd rather let Kayn die of exhaustion here!

He waved his hand and angrily smashed down a thousand villain points!

[You spent 1000 Villain Points to review your memories.]

In an instant, it was as if the axis of time had been silently turned back by an invisible hand, and everything was reversing along its original trajectory.

Soon we were back to where we started.

Kayn remained seated cross-legged on the grass, then suddenly sprang up and began punching.

Although she could watch it countless times, Domi still cherishes every opportunity.

He memorized all the movements in this set of body techniques during the first ten times.

He then began to mentally replicate these movements. In a state of spiritual possession, it seemed to achieve the effect of personally practicing using Kayn's physical data, while Kayn was like a lingering image of someone performing the standard movements.

Keep all other quantities the same, control only the single variable, and just imitate it like a cat...

This is the fifteenth time in total, and my proficiency has been improved to 'Slightly Accomplished'!

The sixtieth time, perfected!

The 140th time, it was absolutely amazing!

At this point, Domi realized that his skill level was now on par with Kayn's, assuming they had the same physical attributes.

This is just an etched memory; Kayn's limits are what they are, and he can no longer teach himself anything.

Domi also felt that imitating him would not improve his proficiency.

Looking at the consumption, 140 times of retracing, a total of 140,000 villain points were used.

A full 14! It breaks my heart to see that!

However, being able to elevate the [Shadow Flow Movement Technique] to such a transcendent level makes it worth the price of admission.

This is probably what it means to achieve perfection.

According to the system's ranking system, there are only three levels above that: 'Grandmaster', 'Unparalleled in History', and 'Peak of Excellence'.

The "part of the truth of the world" mentioned in the description can be glimpsed when one reaches the level of divine mastery.

Domi carefully sensed the changes within his body.

If he calmed down, he discovered that a concentrated power was circulating in his dantian, which is a little below his navel.

What exactly is this?

Concentrated power?

That's what he thought before, but after he possessed it himself, Domi felt it wasn't quite the same, because he also sensed a similar aura in other things:

Animals...flowers, birds, insects, grass...even the babbling brook...

It is as if all things in the world are connected by the same invisible inner energy, whether organic or inorganic.

He already possessed it, and the Shadow Flow Technique was a medium that enhanced it and allowed him to see it.

If everything exists, what words should be used to describe it?

Domi thought about it for a long time and finally decided to name it after the character 'qi'.

Qi flows throughout the world and circulates in the universe. Domi couldn't think of a better word for it in a short time. For a moment, he even felt that magic also originated from Qi.

But upon closer examination, it's not quite accurate. Compared to 'qi,' a power close to the origin, the magic power that supports magic is more like an exquisite imitation of it. It is more regular, more controllable, and more visible, but it is still based on qi, only with improvements.

However, his speculation stopped there, as his understanding of magic was quite shallow, and this was the limit he had reached.

But this does not mean he will give up his research in this area. If it is true that Qi can be transformed into magic power, or magic power can be transformed into Qi, it will be a leap forward for him personally.

He gathered his drifting thoughts.

Thinking about these things now is too far off. The Qi in his body is only such a small lump, at most circulating within a fist, completely unsuitable as research material.

He planned to intentionally increase its scale in the future.

Compared to long-term planning, there are more important things to solve right now, something Domi has never forgotten.

Now he finally has a confident and lethal attack method; daggers are simply too weak!

We need to show Altaïr what to do!

Back to reality, all I could see was a vast expanse of white.

Just a moment ago it was sunny with white clouds, and the next second it was boundless darkness.

This feeling is like standing up after squatting on the toilet for a long time due to low blood pressure; it feels like countless earthworms are crawling inside your eyeballs.

However, he quickly adjusted his state, concealed himself, and, driven by his will, concentrated his energy in his left foot, which was about to kick out.

Altaïr's figure came into Domi's view.

Conceal your killing intent, aim at your prey, and then unleash your full power the moment you strike!

This time, Altaïr finally moved, but he hesitated for a moment as he assumed a stance to defend against the dagger attack.

His senses told him it wasn't a dagger, but his reason told him, what else could Domi use besides a dagger? Bare-handed? What difference would it make if that hit him or just tickled him?

However, this moment of hesitation and carelessness gave Domi an opportunity to take advantage.

With the boost of Qi, coupled with a smaller stature and higher muscle density, Domi's explosive speed is extremely fast!

In the blink of an eye, they broke through the darkness and stepped into the circle of light!

front?

Because he had deliberately suppressed his senses, even he hadn't expected Domi to attack from the front.

To his surprise, the man rushed to a very close position in front of him, with only a fist's width between them.
