Chapter 27 The Backlash of Enchanted Cultivation

Reiter, who was leaning against the chair, saw the change in the ceiling luster at a glance. His calm expression fluctuated violently. He rubbed his eyes and looked straight at the roof. Only then did he see clearly that it was a sixteen-paved grid. Every single one of them was densely packed, and the words and symbols were clearly visible.

There were also human body movements diagrams, especially the lower half of the body. There were many light spots marked on the thighs, calves, and ankles. Clearly, they contained important meanings.

Rylei had sharp observation skills and was the first to notice Reiter’s strange expression. He casually looked up and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The red light that was about to fill the ceiling seemed to be the description of a combat technique. This was his first time experiencing such a situation. He had never heard of such a hidden method before.

At other times during the day, the light also shone on the mirror, but nothing was reflected.

From the crowd effect, Tucker and Thales also looked up, their mouths agape.

Rylei pondered and noticed that the light reflected was red. He thought of something and went to the window. He saw the blood-colored setting sun on the horizon.

Instantly, he understood!

He nodded in realization and quickly said behind him, “It’s the setting sun. Only the light of the setting sun can trigger the mirror to reflect the contents. Quick, quickly memorize it, or you won’t be able to see it later!” The last sentence was directed at Tucker.

Tucker came out of his state of shock and was overjoyed. He also hurriedly comprehended the combat technique on the ceiling. As a knight, he could tell if it was a breathing technique or a combat technique with just a few more glances. A few minutes passed, and Tucker’s expression gradually turned grave. His body tensed as he entered a state of complete concentration, body to heart.

After a short period of comprehension and learning, he felt that the combat skill in front of him was exceptionally profound. It was several times more profound than the Cross Slash and Gale Spike he had obtained previously.

He kept staring at it and tried his best to understand. He even had the illusion that his head was spinning. However, a one-track-minded man like Tucker liked to move forward recklessly. He forcefully endured the feeling of insanity and tried his best to learn this combat technique.

Gradually, Tucker became obsessed and began to walk around the room unconsciously. His steps were strange, sometimes moving forward, sometimes retreating in circles.

When Reiter saw this scene, he thought to himself, “Could it be a movement type combat technique?”

Movement techniques were much rarer than killing techniques. With movement techniques, Knights could deal with complicated situations more easily and shorten the gap between them and mages.

If he had a shortcoming in speed, he would easily become a living target against magical beasts or mages who were good at long-range spellcasting. However, once he had a certain advantage in terms of speed, be it chasing, dodging, or escaping, his survival ability would increase greatly.

This was naturally of utmost importance to Knights who had a short attack range and needed to get closer to pose a threat.

In the circle of mages, they never dared to underestimate knights with outstanding speed and ethereal movement techniques. Especially when it was a one-on-one encounter in the wild, they were especially cautious and took them seriously.

“What level of combat technique is it? Low-grade? Medium-grade? It shouldn’t be high-grade.” Reiter thought to himself, his gaze lingering between Tucker and the ceiling.

Although the words were reflected on the ceiling, Reiter looked at it for a while and realized that the name of the combat skill and the introduction of its effect were missing. Only the specific cultivation method and circulation route were given.

Only by experiencing it personally and mastering it would one know the effect.

Therefore, other than Tucker, no one else could see the effect of this combat technique. Half an hour later, the words on the ceiling started to fade.

Retter’s gaze focused on the window. The sky was beginning to darken, leaving only a small tail of dusk.

Tucker walked faster and faster in the room, and his steps became more and more chaotic. His brows were still tightly furrowed, and he was so focused on comprehending this profound combat technique that he did not notice the change in the brightness of the light.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash.

It was as if the three watching were hallucinating. As Tucker moved, Tucker actually took half a step back at an uncanny pace. Because the speed was too fast and the distance was too short, the actual effect looked like a small teleportation. Reiter’s pupils constricted, and his hands gripped the armrests of the chair. This didn’t seem to be the effect of a low-grade combat skill. This speed made him feel that it was impressive. Just as he was pleasantly surprised by this, Tucker suddenly cried out in pain and fell to the ground, landing on his butt first.

“Hiss!”

“Tucker!”

“How are you?”

The three of them instantly leaned over and looked at Tucker, who was sitting on the ground, with concern. He was pinching his right calf with both hands, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He tried his best to squeeze out a smile. “Hehe, I’m fine. I have a cramp!” Seeing that the three of them still didn’t look convinced, Tucker became serious and explained in detail.

“Father, Rylei, Thales. Believe me, I’m really just having a cramp, and I’m a little overexerted.”

Rylei said thoughtfully, “Big Brother, have you already mastered the basics of the combat technique?”

Reiter patted Tucker on the shoulder and personally massaged his leg. “How do you feel? Tell me about it.”

“It’s quite comfortable. It’s better to use some strength…”

“Get lost! I mean, what’s the feeling of practicing a combat technique? Tell everyone what the effect is!” If Tucker wasn’t feeling unwell, he would have kicked him.

“Oh!” Tucker suddenly understood and scratched his head in embarrassment. “This Combat Technique is too difficult. After trying to cultivate it just now, I can confirm that this is a medium-level Combat Technique! “Furthermore, it’s a movement type Combat Technique. Because it’s too difficult and it’s my first time cultivating it, I’m a little fascinated. In such a short time, there’s already a problem.” With that, Tucker lowered his head in shame. “I’ve made you worry.”

Upon hearing that it was a small accident caused by excessive training, and not some hidden problem with the combat technique, Reiter secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he still reminded him in a serious manner, “You need to have a degree of relaxation. If you fight too hard, it’s very easy to leave hidden illnesses in your body.”

He had been in the military for many years and knew this very well.

“Not next time!”

“Understood, Father.”

“Big Brother, continue. You only mentioned the difficulty and level, but you didn’t explain the effect,” Rylei pressed. He still had a deep impression. When Tucker took half a step back, he felt a very high level of skill. There was even an indescribable fear.

If he could use this speed freely after mastering it, what were his chances of winning against a Knight who had mastered it? Therefore, he really wanted to know the truth. There was a hint of excitement on Tucker’s face. He threw the cramp in his calf to the back of his mind and explained excitedly, “I haven’t mastered the entire content yet. I only know that this combat technique seems to be divided into two levels.

“I haven’t touched on the second level yet, but the first level should be able to quickly return to the trajectory I’ve walked on before. The general principle was to release combat aura and use a special circulation route to leave a special combat aura line wherever it passed.

“When you’ve mastered the first level, you can retreat along the route or advance a second time. You can unleash extreme speed.

However, the combat aura route consumes a lot of combat aura, and it doesn’t last long. When you use the combat aura route to unleash extreme speed, it consumes a lot of stamina and physical burden.”

Then, Tucker added, “I’ve just entered the first level. I can’t even be considered to have entered the first level. Even taking half a step back can cause my legs to cramp.”
