Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Since Zachary had surprisingly comprehended the skill so quickly, Alcuin felt rather embarrassed. So he decided to move on quickly to the next step.

Controlling the martial energy to determine the power of the skill wasn’t that hard. But the most difficult part in the Dual Inter-fighting Skill was the variation of the skills that one would be using in the end.

There were three kinds of variation that one could use. The first was to attack using two different skills at the same time, with the aim to surprise the opponent. The second one was to fuse two skills to form a more powerful one, which was almost similar to the Beast Merging Skill. The last one, which was also the most difficult to do, was to make use of the interaction among different kinds of martial energy to generate a skill with varying strengths. In turn, this would cause a devastating imbalance in strength and would be harder to resist.

However, the last kind of variation was also something that could potentially hurt the user, so it was not advisable to be used unless it was absolutely necessary.

"If you really want to acquire my martial skills, return your strength first to the Sage Level. Maybe then, I would think about it," Tania said, giving him a cold glare.

Immediately after, Zachary's face became sour, clearly disappointed by his master's response.

"Listen to me. There are two reasons why I have taken much effort to simplify and enhance your martial skills. First, I did it because I was concerned about your health. Your body has just recovered and you shouldn't strain it too much. The other reason is to prevent your identity from being exposed. If you use the ultimate skills that you are known for, some people might easily recognize you. What's the use of changing your name then? Anyway, you will only need your martial skills in the final round of the incoming assessment. And I think that with your experience, you should be able to defeat all of your opponents," Tania remarked. She seemed very confident of Zachary's abilities even though there was a huge possibility that he would also face several powerful warriors there.
