Chapter 42: Skill book

'Ding,

Item name:- Advanced practice dummy

Use:- As the name suggests, it is used for practising attack techniques; However, whenever this practice dummy is destroyed, it will become stronger.

Item description:- For a cultivator, he needs a lot of practice for their techniques to reach mastery and he needs some target to practice them.

Soon the information about the item in the doll-like icon appeared in front of Henrick.

"Woah. It's a practice dummy. If I got this item a few moments ago, the little one would have used its scorching kick on it; instead of me," Henrick shook his head before taking the dummy out of the inventory.

As soon as the dummy came out of the inventory, it stood in front of Henrick just like a normal human.

"It looks just like the real human," Henrick was shocked by the appearance of the advanced practice dummy which was looking just like a human.

The dummy was donned in a red coloured robe and stood there without moving.

"Little one, why don't you try your scorching kick on this practice dummy," Henrick caressed the baby fire monkey in his hands and asked it.

Since he was not in a hurry to start his cultivation today, he wanted to test out his rewards from the newbie gift package.

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey was clever enough to understand his intention, so it excitedly nodded its head.

Earlier it didn't use its full power in the 'Scorching kick'; However, when it looked at the practice dummy in front of him, it knew it could now use its full power.

"Okay then. I will distance myself from here," Henrick moved away from the practice dummy and stood in a distance.

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey shouted at Henrick for a moment before using his 'Schorching kick' skill.

'Swoosh'

'Kick kick...'

Just like before the baby fire monkey's speed increased quite a bit and flew into the air before kicking the practice dummy continuously.

'Wonderful'

Henrick was marvelled at the scene becoming the baby fire monkey's kicks seemed very smooth and fluent as though it had been trained for years.

However, he knew that it only learned that kick a few minutes ago and became thrilled at the sight.

After a dozen kicks, the baby fire monkey finished its skill by the powerful kick that blasted away the practice dummy into the walls.

'There is no change in its pattern and the way the practice dummy blasted into the walls is just like how I blasted earlier,'

Henrick shook his head and moved towards the baby fire monkey.

The orange coloured flames on the baby fire monkey were slowly retracted into its body and when it saw that Henrick was coming towards it, the baby fire monkey excitedly rushed towards him.

'Eek eek'

It climbed onto Henrick's shoulder and continued shouted with excitement as though it was asking how its performance was.

"It's good," Henrick praised it and moved towards the practice dummy, which stood up on its own and looked lifelessly at him.

"So, it can stand up on its own...pretty cool," Henrick felt that this pratice dummy was a pretty cool tool.

However, he quietly stored it back into his inventory as he didn't want his master to see it.

If his master sees this practice dummy, then it would be trouble for him as he didn't know what to answer him.

Moreover, he could not reveal the information about the system and its origins, which was the old cursed building.

'Anyway, I have another item to check in the inventory,' Soon, he went back to his stone bed and opened the inventory before sitting on the stone bed.

'What is stored in this book-like square box?' Without any delay, he touched the icon and soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him that made him excited.

'Ding,

Item name:- 10000 Beast language book.

Type:- Skill book

Use:- After using this book, the user can learn the language to communicate with 10000 beasts.

Note:- A high-level beasts or mutated beasts or some intelligent beasts could be communicated without this skill.

"What? A skill book?"

Henrick could not control his excitement when he saw the full information.

'What's more, it can now freely communicate with the 10000 beasts,'

Without wasting any time, he quickly took out the book from his inventory.

'Why is this book very heavy?'

As soon as he took it out from the inventory, a thick book appeared in his hands. It was very heavy that Henrick had a hard time lifting it.

'Ding,

Master, do you use the skill book?

Yes? No?

When Henrick was trying his best to lift the book, the system sent him a notification along with the holographic screen in front of him.

"Of...of course I will use it," Henrick replied to the system while gritting his teeth.

Why would he not use a skill book? A skill book means an easy skill for a cultivator as he had nothing to do and learn it without much difficulty.

As soon as he agreed to the system notification, the thick book in his hands started turning into the specks of light and dispersed into the air.

'What is happening?'

Henrick looked at the small specks of lighting in front of him and wondered what was happening.

Just as he was wondering about what was happening, the specks of light rushed into his head.

"Huh? So, this is how the skill books work," Henrick felt some foreign language was entering his head and felt the feeling was great.

So, he sat crossed legged and silently muttered in his head about the skill book.

In this world, as per Henrick's knowledge, there were no skill books and after experiencing the working of the skill book, he revealed a bright smile.

While he was enjoying the feeling of absorbing the specks of light, the baby fire-monkey looked at Henrick in confusion as though it was wondering 'What happened to him? Isn't he alright till now?'
