Taking a look at the notifications he had obtained for a bit, Valyr went ahead and closed the notification screen that popped up before proceeding to move onto the training dummy to his right.

After that, he activated [Gambler's Discerning Eyes] once more, delving through the various weak spots that had appeared within his sights before eventually noticing a pitch-black circle appear in his vision yet again.

Discovering things that he could omit during the process to come across a vital spot faster, the young man then moved onto another training dummy, making sure that he got the hang of searching through layers upon layers of weak spots to find that vital spot.

Only after he had done one round of vital spot searching on all of the training dummies did Valyr finally turn around to Jekyll, slightly smiling as he opened his mouth. "Jekyll, the vital spots appear like a dark circle in your field of vision, right?"

Whoosh!

Unlike before, where he somewhat leisurely made his way to where Valyr was after the young man had discovered his first weak spot, Jekyll stood up at great speeds and dashed to where the latter stood, his expression that of curiosity and shock.

"Did you successfully find a vital spot?" Asking this question to the young man, Jekyll's irises gained a crimson ring around them as he searched for the vital spots that existed in the training dummy in front of Valyr.

Faintly nodding in response at the man, Valyr returned his gaze to the dummy before him as he opened his mouth. "There's a loose strand of hay on the outer regions of the training dummy. If I pull on it even slightly, almost everything on the dummy will break into pieces and fall to the ground."

"..." Though Jekyll listened to the young man's words in silence, it did not stop the man from experiencing a great amount of disbelief and shock.

After all, what Valyr told him was the same weak spot he had found on the training dummy!

"Ahem." Taking a few breaths to compose himself, Jekyll cleared his throat before pointing at the training dummy to Valyr's right. "Try and find the vital spot of that dummy."

"Alright." Nodding in response, Valyr moved onto the training dummy to his right and proceeded to look at it with [Gambler's Discerning Eyes] active, eventually finding the vital spot Jekyll had discovered.

At this point, one would prompt the other side to stop, having made certain that the other side had already achieved the feat the one had tasked the other side to do. However, whether it was spurred on by immense disbelief or immense curiosity regarding Valyr's capabilities, Jekyll asked the young man to continue searching through the vital spots of the training dummies.

Naturally, Valyr delivered.

Going through the row of training dummies yet again, Valyr found its vital spots while keeping in mind what he could omit during the process, allowing each consecutive attempt of his to slightly reduce the time it took for him to find it.

In fact, it was solely because of that reason that by the time he and Jekyll had arrived at the last training dummy Jekyll had yet to confirm, Valyr's speed at finding the vital spot was only a couple seconds slower than Jekyll's, leaving the latter with his mouth wide open as he had no choice but to accept reality at this point.

"You really found all of their vital spots..." muttered Jekyll in slight disbelief, gazing at the young man in front of him, who looked back at him with a faint yet confident smile.

"Is there any other step after this?" asked Valyr, maintaining the faint smile that adorned his face.

"There is..." Jekyll nodded. "However, that step is something that could only be achieved once you've started to comprehend Intents and Forces."

"Aside from that, you've already more than proved yourself worthy of inheriting the true beginning of my legacy." At these words, Jekyll flashed a bitter smile. "The fact that you've figured out the first and second step within a quarter of a day... now I'm left wondering whether it would have been faster if you chose to try and land a hit on me instead."

"You've definitely made my efforts seem worthless, Valyr." Jekyll let out a chuckle. "However, it also makes me hopeful that you might be able to enhance this skill to a higher level once you inherit the other remaining parts of my legacy."

"Anyways, enough talks about the future. For now, follow me." Realizing that he had gone slightly out of topic, Jekyll quickly steered it back to their original topic as he gestured for Valyr to follow him.

With that, the two of them headed deeper into the training ground, eventually finding themselves in a secluded space within the training ground that looked like it had been left untouched for many years.

...

"You know, if I count the number of people that have been to this place, that number would actually fit in one hand." Closing the door behind them, Jekyll decided to make some small talk as he asked Valyr to sit down at the center.I think you should take a look at

"Around three, I presume?" Looking around the space they had entered, which only had the most basic of amenities would one possibly need for seclusion, Valyr made his way to the center and sat down.

"Only one, actually." Raising his pointer finger with a slight smile, Jekyll made his way to where Valyr sat, standing behind him as he took in a few deep breaths. "That one being you, of course."

"In any case, let's finally start the process."

Whoosh!

In an instant, Jekyll released the entirety of his aura, encompassing the entire space as Valyr immediately felt that he had arrived in the center of a battlefield, a place where only constant fighting existed.

"Push your eyes to their limits." Just as he had felt a bit of killing intent well up within him, the young man heard Jekyll's voice echo from behind him, prompting him to regain his focus as he did what he was told.

"[Gambler's Discerning Eyes]."

Swoosh!

At the very moment he had activated the skill, Valyr's vision underwent through a massive shift, allowing him to view the space around him in greater detail. However, due to the aura Jekyll was emanating, illusions of the battlefield gradually manifested in front of him, his sight now overlapping with a wasteland filled with the blood and bodies of thousands of humans.nov??o/?

"Now, peer through the illusions and find its core. Find its vital spot." Hearing Jekyll's calm voice resound from behind him once more, Valyr took in a deep breath and nodded, utilizing what he had learned earlier in order to achieve what Jekyll tasked him to do.

Though it took quite some time for Valyr to start discovering the weak spots within the illusions as he had gotten used to identifying training dummies all this time, that all changed once he found his first weak spot.

Whoosh!

Snowballing from there, all of the experience and knowledge Valyr had accumulated in using the skill was shown in its entire glory, with the sight in front of him now littered with hundreds of dark red circles.

Continuing to look through the illusion as more and more dark red circles entered his field of vision, the young man eventually found the spot where all of the weak spots seemed to be connected, being situated at a spot that was no more than half a meter away from where he sat.

"The vital spot..." As he extended out his finger to touch it, Valyr's aura seemed to have undergone a slight change, something that did not go unnoticed under Jekyll's senses.

Within seconds, the aura Valyr radiated now exuded a sense of pressure that would only arise when one was facing up against a far stronger being than oneself. Not only that, but the aura also gave one the feeling of despair, making one feel a sense of hopelessness when up against someone like Valyr, especially when time went on.

'It's awakening...' Inwardly chuckling at the changes Valyr was undergoing through, Jekyll watched as the young man finally make contact with the vital spot he had seen, popping the illusion that had surrounded him all this time as Jekyll's aura disappeared in the process.

Swoosh!

As if it was waiting for Valyr to touch the vital spot, Valyr's irises, with [Gambler's Discerning Eyes] still activated, now gained a crimson ring around him, instantly enhancing his abilities to look at his surroundings in far greater detail.

Concurrently, as he felt his field of vision undergo a massive shift due to this change, a series of notifications went off in his mind.

Ding!
