Chapter 78: Understanding Exclusive Secret Techniques
However, Rayen also noticed a difference between the new profession 'Dog Trainer' and the Blacksmith and Night Watchman professions.
That is, it lacks a core skill.
In this regard, the Dog Trainer profession is similar to the basic Militia profession.
Therefore, Rayen speculated that the core skill would likely appear after advancing the Dog Trainer profession further.
Additionally, over these three days, the Mammoth Breath Technique successfully advanced from lv2 to lv3 (0/500).
Just the day before yesterday, the practice of the Mammoth Breath Technique rewarded Rayen with a +1 Strength effect.
This further proves the foundational role of the Knight Breath Technique on the extraordinary path of knighthood.
At the same time, the advancement in the breathing technique brought Rayen an important change; he seemed to have better control over his entire muscular system.
Externally, Rayen could now freely control the intensity of his Power Surge.
Before, whenever Rayen used his core skill, Power Surge, it would cause a direct power boost without any restraint.
But now, Rayen could gradually control the extent of this surge, such as adjusting the increase in strength to around fifty or seventy percent.
This change not only demonstrated Rayen's more refined control over his strength but also indirectly extended the duration of the surge.
Basically, if Rayen controlled the Power Surge at around fifty percent, the duration could be maintained for nearly two minutes.
If he went all out, the surge would last for about fifty seconds, slightly better than the previous forty-five seconds.
Additionally, the 'Aftermath' of sore muscles throughout his body would decrease proportionally to the intensity of Rayen's surge.
This made Rayen feel delighted.
The refinement of control over one's strength is indeed a form of strength enhancement!
Name: Rayen Kalan
Profession: Blacksmith lv2 (0/300) / Night Watchman lv3 (30/500) / Dog Trainer lv2 (31/300)
Constitution: 10
Strength: 111
Agility: 9
Spirit: 11
Remaining Attribute Points: 2
Remaining Skill Points: 1
Rayen noticed that all his attributes, except Agility, had surpassed the 10-point threshold on the attribute panel.
Suddenly, Rayen recalled a prompt from long ago, where the system mentioned the pre-requisites for the Knight Squire profession, requiring Strength, Agility, and Constitution to be above 8 points each.
This likely indicates the physical fitness threshold for a Level 1 Knight Squire.
This likely indicated the physical fitness standard for a Level 1 Knight Squire.
"So, if my Strength, Agility, and Constitution are all above 10 points, does that mean I've reached the level of a Level 2 Knight Squire?"
"It should be close! Having over 10 points in these attributes would result in a significant difference in strength."
Aside from that, Rayen recalled his recent practice with Master Humbert, the Swordsmanship Instructor, and quickly understood the reason behind Master Humbert's expression during their training.
It wasn't that Master Humbert was holding back; it was because Rayen had become stronger!
"It's reasonable to assume that once all three attributes surpass 12, there's a high chance of reaching the level of a Level 3 Knight Squire."
"In other words, if I add one more point to Agility, reaching 10 points, I should be at the strength level of a Level 2 Knight Squire."
"Hmm, in a little over a month, I've gone from a frail youth to a Level 2 Knight Squire. This progress seems quite impressive!"
For these two remaining attribute points, Rayen was undecided between allocating them to Constitution or Agility, considering the importance of both.
Increasing Constitution could reduce the 'Aftermath' of his Power Surge and extend the duration of his training sessions.
However, Agility was equally crucial, and his Mammoth Breath Technique did not primarily focus on enhancing Agility.
Strength over finesse is a valid approach, but if one's power cannot hit the target, it is obviously useless.
After a moment's thought, Rain still couldn't decide.
Regarding the allocation of skill points, I face a similar dilemma. The 'Danger Sense' is currently at Level 2, which is sufficient for my needs. So, I'm thinking of investing a point into Mammoth Breath Technique to directly raise it from Level 3 to Level 4, which should provide me with immediate gains in strength and constitution attributes in a short time.
On the other hand, Danger Sense is a core skill that can only be upgraded through skill points, while Mammoth Breath Technique can be improved through cultivation.
But upon further consideration, Rain realized that Danger Sense is a perception of danger. When faced with unavoidable peril, one's victory or defeat still depends on their own abilities.
The Knight Breath Technique, however, rapidly solidifies and enhances one's abilities, determining the outcome of such situations!
After a brief contemplation, Rain decided to allocate a skill point to Mammoth Breath Technique.
As the technique reached Level 4, a flood of fragmented memories related to its cultivation flooded Rain's mind.
These memories were snippets of the technique's cultivation, flashing through Rain's mind and quickly embedding themselves into his muscles and fascia.
When Rain opened his eyes again, it was as if he had endured a month or two of intense cultivation. He felt a distinct change within himself, an itching sensation emanating from his fascia, as if it were mutating, extending fine, resilient fibers that deeply rooted themselves into his bones and muscle fibers.
The transformation was evident as Rain's body became more explosive and resilient to strikes. His skin also toughened, resembling oiled leather.
Additionally, Rain felt a tingling warmth in his chest, as if he needed to let out a mighty roar to feel satisfied.
At that moment, a system prompt appeared:
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the exclusive secret technique: Roar Strike, a combination of Mammoth Breath Technique and Mammoth Sword Technique!]
Rain was delighted to see a new icon on his Night Watch panel, positioned above the Mammoth Breath Technique and Mammoth Sword Technique icons.
The icon depicted a roaring mammoth head with an open mouth, its sharp teeth creating a lifelike and fierce image.
Roar Strike (Secret Technique) Effect: Utilizing powerful lung capacity to mimic the sonic impact of a mammoth's attack, combined with the Cyclone Slash.
(Note: Roar Strike is a secret technique and cannot be directly upgraded through skill points."}
(Roar Strike Level 2 requires the following conditions: 1. Mammoth Breath Technique Level 5 or higher, Mammoth Sword Technique Level 5 or higher; 2. Strength 1.)
So that's how it is!
Rain realized that the urge to roar was likely due to the breathing technique's focus on lung development.
If it weren't already night, Rain would have let out a few hearty roars.
But remembering Kleya's demonstration, he shook his head.
Most likely, his roar would wake up the entire Glintstone Town!
Rain had no choice but to endure for now!
Lastly, Rain discovered that he had unknowingly surpassed the half-hour requirement for the third stage of the Mammoth Breath Technique.
In other words, he was now ready to cultivate the fourth stage!
