Skill Manuals were basically books that taught you how to use energy into performing that skill .
You can’t however , learn the skill instantly like in skill books, the timing needed to learn it varied on your comprehension ability.
A skill was classified by Normal grade , Medium grade , Intermedium grade , Expert grade , Unique grade and Legendary grade .
Almost every single thing in this world was classified like that, skills items village orders etc .
But the “ Eye of Sage “ skill was a growth type skill , it allowed the user to appraise items and improved their vision .
“ It looks like a normal appraisal skill but it’s actually a growth type , If I practice it in due time it might be really useful “
Normal People would struggle a while until they fully comprehended their first skills because they aren’t familiar with this world.
But for Jamie who had even comprehended Unique skills in the past, such a thing was easy.
“ I first need to reach the realm of stage 1 Warrior or else I wont be able to handle the shadow wolves “
He resisted the temptation to open the enigma chest and continued to practice under that tree shade for the next 3 hours .
After all even with his high comprehension, a growth type legendary sutra and a growth type intermediate skill were not your bread and butter . It would have taken at least a week for normal people .
“ This sutra is as impressive as I remember. I can’t believe I reached stage one so quickly “
Suddenly his train of thought was interrupted by the notifications that rang next.

With no more time to waste Jamie cut through the weeds and forest plants in such a manner that vegans all around the world would have wanted his head on a spike . His sage eye allowed to see through beast traps easy and reach his destination in less than an hour .
“ I finally found you bastards “
The grey fur wolf instantly went attack mode on him because he saw Jamie with no weapon , but he didn’t need one .
He only raised his finger and a small purple sphere materialised on his finger tip and hit the beast on the chest like a beam .
“ Im gonna call this “ Swift Bullet “ .
Even though its weak it should be enough to deal with a bunch of animals like you “
3 more wolves came out of the cave but they met the same end . The beasts weren’t that intelligent and they normally let their guard down once they saw Jamie holding no weapon .
“ DO YOU SEE THAT YOU LUCKY RICH KIDS . You may have better luck than me but im much stronger, hmphh “
And amongst his lunatic screams, another notification rang .
