Now that he knew Leonard Churchill was a member of the Thirteen Knights and outrageously strong,
the identity of “assistant” became very intriguing!
Leonard couldn’t figure it out before, but now it seemed very likely that the former ‘Pursuer of Light’ went to X Bureau to investigate something and had an accident.
Then, as his successor, Noah Wright would choose to continue the undercover mission.
…
“Hiss…”
As the pieces of the puzzle fell into place in Leonard’s mind, he immediately realized that things were more serious than he had anticipated.
The leader of the Thirteen Knights, the ‘Pursuer of Light,’ was already at the pinnacle of card masters, and yet he had an accident?
What exactly was he investigating in the X Bureau?
Leonard thought back to the chase at Summer Pasture City Relic, when he was pursued by members of the Judging Office of X Bureau.
At that time, they were targeting “Tracy Garcia’s Life Pattern.”
This action was suspicious in itself.
X Bureau was a Neutral shelter, so why would they unprovokedly kill a Tracy Garcia?
Moreover, the last time he saw Reuel Bible, Reuel had mentioned that he vaguely felt something was amiss inside X Bureau.
His voluntary detention at the Dragon City headquarters was indeed an attempt to investigate the truth of the matter.
The more Leonard thought about it, the more perplexing it became.
While completing one storyline, numerous new fragmented questions surfaced.
Now it seemed that everything was related to the content on the stone stele?
Leonard asked, “That Senior Geoff, was he strong?”
Barre Shepherd also had a tinge of melancholy in his voice, “You can’t simply say whether one can beat him or not… His Domain ‘I am the world’ is extremely peculiar. Fighting him is like taking on the whole world. Unless one is much more powerful, I can’t think of any Same Tier that could truly kill him.”
Adversaries were hard to come by.
Those who had fought him often became friends instead.
Hearing this evaluation, Leonard didn’t continue to ask further.
In this exchange, both he and Barre Shepherd had already realized that the stone stele was tied to too much.
Those “taboo topics” were not discussed any further by the two of them.
…
After a moment of silence, the gravity on Barre Shepherd’s face quickly dissipated, “Well, my seclusion is almost at an end. It’s about time to go out and take a look.”
For a martial artist like him, court intrigue and such were never things he needed to consider.
The Old Man had said more than once that it’s only when one lacks strength that one resorts to those flashy schemes.
If a problem can be solved with a fight, there’s no need for pointless chatter.
With that, he looked at Leonard, arched an eyebrow and said, “You’ve been complaining about not learning any Martial Skills, haven’t you? Want to learn something powerful?”
Since he planned to go out, he couldn’t teach in such a leisurely manner anymore.
It was time to teach some of his secret powerful techniques.
Looking at his expression, Leonard knew the tricky Old Man was up to something, yet he was also immensely eager, responding emphatically, “Learn!”
For the past two months, he had been practicing the basics of Air Skill, and had mastered the tricks of the trade; now it was just a matter of accumulating time.
He was just wondering how to get the Old Man to teach him some of his secret Martial Skills, but then the Old Man brought it up himself.
Barre Shepherd said gravely, “I have wandered for countless years, learning a vast array of skills. I am proficient in 302 routines of Martial Arts, 72 Ancient Martial Skills, and countless incomplete techniques… After decades of seclusion, I reduced the complexity to simplicity, and created a Fist Method. Let’s name it… ‘Overlord Fist.’”
Having spent two months together, Leonard already knew this grand introduction meant the Old Man was getting serious.
And just hearing the name filled him with awe and anticipation.
Barre Shepherd’s eyes narrowed slightly as he continued, “Later in seclusion here, I comprehended Divine Power, uncovering the true meaning of Martial Arts. While it’s called a fist, it’s actually about ‘Intention,’ and also about ‘Air.’ This ‘Overlord Fist’ could be considered the essence of all my life’s learning.”
He looked at Leonard, paused for a moment, then added, “Put it this way, if you learn it, you could use it as a foundation to invoke any Combat Martial Skill.”
Even without unleashing Divine Power, he naturally radiated an invisible aura of presence.
It was the dominance of an Air Skill Grandmaster at the pinnacle of card master combat power.
With his martial force, he looked down upon the world!
What magnificent arrogance, what wild pride!
Merely witnessing it, Leonard felt his vitality and blood surge inexplicably.
And listening to this description, the term ‘Little No-Aspects Skill’ suddenly came to mind from his past life!
The Old Man might like to boast,
but he was truly awesome!
Waiting for the Old Man to finish, Leonard didn’t hide his deep anticipation as he bowed and said, “Please, Senior, teach me.”
“Heh… alright.”
Barre Shepherd’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Since you want to learn, then learn well. You are still a bit lacking in your Realm to fully comprehend ‘Overlord Fist.’ Learn as much as you can understand. For what you don’t, let time be your teacher…”
As he spoke, the figure in front of Leonard transformed into a series of Illusions.
Leonard just got ready to defend when his surroundings were suddenly filled with a barrage of punches like pouring rain.
He didn’t feel the punches touch his body, but the Air around was already thundering with explosions.
In an instant, his body was launched like a balloon.
The air showed only ripples of Air Explosions.
Before he could make sense of what was happening, the profound principles of the Fist Method echoed around him, “All living beings possess ‘Air.’ My whole life has been an attempt to compress Curse Power and refine Gang Air. Air is not formless, yet it is formless, like wind, like lightning, like Destruction… No aspect, yet having aspect, like a blade, like a feather, like a mountain… My fist can shatter mountains, split the land, demolish cities… It can flatten, as long as the Intention in one’s heart is not flat!”
That day.
Leonard kept bouncing high in the sky, half a day without touching the ground.
