Chapter 106: The Necessity of Practical Lessons

-Achievement unlocked!

-[Completion of Skill] Achievement unlocked, youve earned Likes!

-Gained 3 Likes!

With this, Ethan now surpassed twenty Likes after achieving the achievement.

It seems I didnt get this achievement for Whiskers Swordsmanship since it was already at 100% from the beginning.

Following Whiskers Swordsmanship, Heos Acupuncture has also been completely mastered at 100%.

It was now fully his own.

True Heos Acupuncture.

When Heos Acupuncture was completed, it transformed into a skill called True Heos Acupuncture.

Where the proficiency used to be displayed, [MASTER] was now clearly written, indicating the skills completion.

It was a skill he had first obtained by subscribing to [New World], and only now completed it.

He recalled when he first opened New World and obtained Heos Acupuncture in order to survive.

Compared to then, his health was recovered considerably now, to the point comparisons were meaningless.

With this, I can keep my health at peak condition.

Survival probability continually decreases due to Extinction. But with True Heos Acupuncture, maintaining health would be perfect.

Furthermore, he could aim for health recovery and enhancement. Heo Juns acupuncture technique was an incredible skill.

I want to test the effects.

First, Ethan tested the effects on himself.

Chik-. Chik-. Chik-.

Oh, the precision has improved.

The basic precision when using acupuncture improved. Even if it was a little off, the needle accurately pierced the right spot.

Next, Ethan used the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique to apply buffs.

Oh ho.

The buffs from the original Five Elements Acupuncture Technique had time limits.

The time limit increased.

It was at least twice as long as before.

The number of needles I can make is now fifteen.

Ethan could now freely make, erase, and control a total of fifteen needles.

And Ethan looked at his fingertips.

The sensation has sharpened. This seems related to Pulse Diagnosis too.

Sensation at the fingertips was important to Pulse Diagnosis. Of course, it wasnt a real pulse diagnosis, just borrowing the skills power, but his fingertips becoming more sensitive meant Pulse Diagnosis effects increased too.

I can now do deeper, more certain Pulse Diagnoses.

Ethan used Pulse Diagnosis to check his own pulse.

Checking pulse.

Due to the powerful curse, the pulse cannot be grasped clearly!Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

Current status: fatigue, powerful curse

As expected, even this can barely detect anything with the curse.

He kept trying to figure out and find another way to detect his illness, but as expected, Extinction was a tremendous curse.

But Pulse Diagnosis effects definitely increased after mastering Heos Acupuncture.

There are benefits to mastering it.

After bidding the Golden Wolves he fought with farewell, Ethan immediately used Wind Cloud.

The war god Ares awaited a reply to his letter.

However, no letter came the next day, or the day after that, or the day after the next.

At first, he was angry, but now he didnt even feel anger anymore.

Im the lacking one.

And suddenly realized.

Just waiting will accomplish nothing. With the passive attitude of just awaiting a reply, I can do nothing!

What was one of the important things in war?

Properly responding.

One must respond to the opponents actions, or predict and respond ahead of them.

But right now Ares was doing neither.

This was defeat.

Ethan entered the classroom holding something, along with his two guards.

!

Its new.

What is that? A golem?

The students eyes lit up.

To be able to receive education with new teaching methods based on Understanding the Sword Path every week. How fortunate.

And that thing was a golem.

Using a golem for class was basically set.

Of course, there were clear limits to practical lessons using a golem, but Ethan surely knew that.

That meant while similar, the lesson would definitely be different from before.

But it was certain to be a far more efficient lesson.

The students eagerly awaited what kind of lesson Ethan would give, eyes shining.

As you can all tell, todays lesson is practical.

Their prediction was correct. The students immediately concentrated on Ethans words.

I believe the most effective method to understand the sword path is through practical experience. No matter how much you understand the sword path and make it your own, if you dont experience it practically, your swordsmanship has no life.

Only practical experience could breathe life into the sword path.

But as you know, practical lessons are far too dangerous. To have practical lessons, wed have to go up Grand Horn, and by the time we came back down, a few students from here might not make it back.

Gulp.

Chen Garcias eyes shook.

Seeing that, Ethan smiled.

So well have lessons safely using this special golem, with no risk of death.

At Ethans words, the students curiously looked over the golem. Just then, as if realizing something strange in Ethans words, a student raised their hand.

Ethan gestured for them to speak.

Theres no injury?

At that, Ethan spoke again.

Practical lessons with no risk of death.

Ethans words, as if asking how there could be no injuries during practical lessons, made everyone fall silent.

Uhh..

Hrmm.

The students quite pleasant anticipation instantly hardened. Seeing the students expressions, Ethan nodded satisfied.

Yerica.

Yes.

The overseer Yerica activated the special golems.

Rumble-!

Schudlen wore quite thick armor today.

Today he didnt need to give contemptuous looks and curses. His role was to jump in and stop the golems when things got dangerous.

Come out in order, ten at a time.

The lesson promptly began.

The first ten students stood before the golem. Since todays lesson would likely be intense, they were spaced far apart.

That golem is special. It will clearly be different from the golems youve experienced before. So do not think it an ordinary golem.

Ethan said.

Consider it a definite enemy trying to kill you, and swing your sword as such.

Though they held wooden swords, bones could still be broken with them.

Begin.

Kwaaang-!

The moment it began, a student who charged at the golem was smashed by the wooden sword and flung back, immediately losing consciousness after writhing about.

..Insane.

Wha, what is this!

As Ethan warned, it was not an ordinary golems movements.

That can happen if youre careless.

Ethan said with a smile.
