Death… And Me

Chapter 89 - Skill Manuals

Sometime later, Leu brought a few skill manuals for swordsmen. But as Roan looked through then, he noticed something different.

”This... Why are all of them made for Core Formation Realm and above?”

Leu smiled bitterly before asking.

”My question is different. How can you use such skills without even being in the Core Formation Realm?”

Roanʼs eyes narrowed.

”What you have here is just a general explanation of how they work. Would you mind if a take a look at the real one? Of course, Iʼm not saying the entire manual, just the first part is enough.”

Leu pondered a bit before asking.

”Would you let me take a look at your skills too?”

Roan immediately accepted. He wanted to confirm his theory about those manuals. He had a few copies of the manuals he made for the Varen Tribe members in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so it was easy for him to bring one out.

As the two of them looked at the otherʼs manual, they seemed to arrive at the same conclusion.

”The meridians path!”

The way Roan projected the use of his Sword Skills was completely different from the norm. In fact, Leu was surprised that Roanʼs meridians didnʼt explode while using this skill.

”Are you sure you are using that technique with the instructions of this manual? I find it quite hard to believe.”

Roan then put Leuʼs manual down before nodding his head.

”I was the one who created it, after all.”

Leu looked at Roan as if he was looking at a ghost!

”You... created it?”

Roan nodded and then made a question of his own

”My question isnʼt much different from yours. How come you guys canʼt see the waste of energy when using this sword skill with such a messed up path? Sure, it is a lot easier if you ask me, but at the same time, you lose way too much energy on the process. To be very honest, I canʼt think about any other word than ʼuglyʼ when I look at this skill. Especially since you can only use it at the Core Formation Realm or above. That is one more defect of those points to connect the Spiritual Energy.”

Leu narrowed his eyes after hearing that. Although Roan really looked like a kid, he canʼt help but somehow believe his words. Of course, he still had many doubts.

Roan noticed that and then suggested.

”Why donʼt you give a quick try with mine? This is the same skill you saw back there, the Third Form of the Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon. Of course, you wonʼt be able to use it in the end since I only gave you a small part of the manual. Still, you should be able to confirm if the path of the meridians that I found out is wrong or not. It wouldnʼt cause you any harm either since you will only try it for a few seconds.”

Leu pondered a bit and had to admit that Roan was right.

”Very well. Give me a few minutes to get used to it.”

Roan smiled after hearing that. Sure enough, someone with higher cultivation can learn much faster. Not to mention that as manager of this place, he had seen all the techniques for sale, so his knowledge and experience were much higher. Roan thought that this man would take at least an hour before being able to do it. But it seems like he wonʼt need to wait for much.

Around 12 minutes later, Leu opened his eyes again. Spiritual Energy then started to gather around him. Since he wouldnʼt be able to use it, there was no need for a sword. He only tried out that crazy meridiansʼ path that Roan suggested. At first, he began very slowly, afraid that he might hurt himself. But as time passed, his expression changed. In the end, there was nothing but disbelief in his eyes. Let alone hurting himself, he even felt comfortable using his meridians. As if this was the way it was supposed to be since the very start.

Leu couldnʼt hold his excitement before asking.

”How much do you want for the full copy of this technique?”

Roan pondered a bit before smiling.

”I donʼt need any payment, but I do want to see all your techniques with similar attack power.”

”Deal!”

Leu understood from the very start the value of this technique. Not only would you be able to use it in the Foundation Establishment, but even Energy Gathering Realm cultivators could also do so. Of course, the Energy Gathering ones would take a very long time to get proficient enough to use it. However, it was totally worth it. As far as he knows, only the Sects and big cultivator families have secret techniques that allow their descendants to use some skill before the Core Formation Realm. Even so, he doubts that there are many available for Energy Gathering ones.

Not too long after, the employee entered the room carrying several manuals for several types of weapons. At the same time, Roan wrote down the complete manual explaining how to use the Death Style Third Form.

Leu quickly left after that, leaving Roan on his own in the room. Immediately after, he went upstairs to practice this technique himself. At his cultivation level, he wouldnʼt need more than a few hours to be able to use it at a basic level. If nothing goes wrong, then he made a really great deal today.

Roan didnʼt mind it since he would also take a few hours to browse through all those skill manuals. What he wanted was not to learn them, but to use as a reference for future skills that he will develop. The Death Style only had five forms, and so far, he had only used four of them. Roan kept the fifth one hidden as a trump card. Only he and Rean knew about it.

Roan wasnʼt afraid of others using his Death Style Third form against him. The reason for that was quite simple. That is not the full version of the third form. The full version used two elements at the same time, which are Rean and Roanʼs Dark and Light Elements. Also, it needed the support of the 104th meridian, something that others simply didnʼt have.

If someone really used it against him or Rean in the future, they would be courting Roan- cough, cough. Courting Death.
