The next day, I was there again....and called him to take my order.

"Soft bread and milk " I softly mentioned as I was distracted somewhere. Actually...the competition for personal guard is gonna start in a month or two. The official announcement hadn't been made. God knows how, this waiter knows all of this.

After 15 min, I quietly put silver on the table. ( Gold is exclusively used by nobles, silver by rich and copper by normal or poor )

I came back after that, I have to wait till night. I already gave him silver with a paper stuck at the back to look under the table. The content is nothing much, just to create a fake identity in the city register and a good dagger arts. It wasn't difficult considering the fact that the city keeps taking new people, just him making me an old resident could be a problem. Or maybe not so difficult for someone who has this much power to know everything of a rich and strong family.

I quietly trained, blending as I controlled breath and slowed my heartbeat to minimum and a cool energy flowed as I felt myself merging in the surrounding, it was like a clear spring just flowing through my head. I instantly got an idea as I tried to move the energy through my body arteries since the diagram is already crystal clear in my mind though the main aorta artery, I divided it in two channel, first channel is minor arteries of hands like ulnar and radial and second channel is femoral, popliteal, anterior tibial, posterior tibial, peroneal. ( It's the main arteries for hands and legs. Sorry if I missed some )

Ding~~, melodies sound similar to the first time I initiated my " Blending "

[ Martial arts status:- Misty elephant body ( Not learned ) , Blending ( level 1 ) , Unnamed ( level 1 )

Body status :- Strength:- 7 , Endurance:- 7, Agility :- 8 , defense:- 6 , 2 remaining points too add ]

I just saw an additional " unnamed " status in that dark panel. I tried to concentrate then it expanded suddenly.

[ Unnamed :- An entire new supporting martial art made by Master Raj.

Function 1 :- It makes your arteries stronger as you progress and will help you overcome human limits.

Function 2 :- For a short burst of time, Your strength, speed, reaction time and other prospects will increase exponentially.

Function 3 :- From the type of energy which is tempering your arteries. Your body will become more proficient for that element.

Caution :- Don't train for more than 3 hours a day or chances of artery rupture is possible ]

There were just clear benefits, well except for timing everything was fine. When I tried to do it again. I again felt like a clear stream of energy moved through my body. It didn't give any sort of feeling so I kept practicing.

After about two and a half hours, my veins were popping out just like when I increased my strength last time. I was in agony at the very least. I now understand the precision of the panel at least. It told me the maximum amount of time I could practise.

It was already afternoon so I took a quick nap since I was bored. I was actually tempted to do some research about what happens when you transmit your energy through specific channels but I decided not since it's really dangerous, I will probably just use some Guinea pigs in future.

3 hour later, I freshened up and was in the market waiting to get dark. I moved quite a bit to be honest and bought many things from books on geography, history, literature, medicines, plants and their uses , beasts, diseases and its cures etc...

It was a whole bundle of books that I have bought so I just got back in my room first and it was almost night so I didn't try to delay and came down to the ground floor. The structure of the inn I was living in was pretty simple, it was a big house with a ground floor for eating and drinking booze and a first floor for people to live in.

Now..due to my lack of knowledge or should say since I look like a teenager. Some of the guys took me for the rich and weak, as they saw me coming with so many books which obviously require money, enough for them to live freely for months.

I saw a group of four following me as I bit back. I knew I had to clear them as I have no idea about their strength so I kept myself on the official road. Well..I somehow reached the Avenue pub as I got inside quickly.

The same guy came again and asked me if I needed something. I just ordered yogurt with some grapes as the paper fell down from his hand. I looked unconcerned as I stepped on it and waited while thinking what he should do with those guys outside. They followed me all the way, I am pretty sure, it's not for nothing. I had realised the problem but also knew how naive I was thinking showing off my money like that.

After I finished the yogurt and fruits, I unconcernedly tried to give him some coins as one of them. I pretended to pick it up and picked the paper under my foot too. The instructions were pretty simple. I need to ask the bar manager where the washroom is and get there. He left a package on the roof. It was simple and easy as I took the package. There was a letter and a booklet of white color written " Way to use dagger :- last improvised by Commander James Comey " It was a military rank highly sophisticated dagger style made for killing. It was made specifically to attack vitals like between eyebrows, throat, heart, kidney, spine. To control someone will require you to puncture other hands and legs along with proper parts of the stomach, though it wasn't described in this book properly.

Without me noticing, I have been reading in front of the bathroom. It was a starry night.

Ding~~ , ah, I started to like this sound now.

I nodded as I tried to make it level 1 as the last 2 points were consumed. Suddenly a lot of parts which I was struggling with, which could have taken some time were poured in my brain. No discomfort, it was like it was coming naturally. Though I knew better.

I took out my dagger as I thrusted it with lighting speed like I am tearing through air. As I got immersed, I started doing all sorts of common moves like thrusting, hacking, stabbing etc as my feet moved on my own.

It was an immersive feeling not wanting me to stop. Only after 10 min did I stopped, I was gasping for air and my face had turned red because of an oxygen deficiency. I sat down as I circulated " Blending " and moved it through arteries. A clear stream of energy moved through my body as I felt cool inside like I got a mouthful of water in the desert.

After a min or two, I stealthily got out while searching for those guys. It was pretty late and guards won't patrol this place at night as it was for crimes and they have bribed and threatened already so it was pretty much silent. Well...this is commonly known information circulating in the market.

I used bending as I got under shadows trying not to touch the silvery moonlight. After some alleys, I sighed suddenly and looked at the corner.

" You can come out. It's pretty obvious, you fuckers' ' My voice was filled with a variety of emotions. Anger, sadness, melancholy and a bit of fear too. I have killed people in that dream too. In a specific experiment where I was making a chip, I did a lot of human experiments. Though most of them were criminals in the beginning, at the end of the experiments I started testing on common people as I lack specimens as I was too desperate. I didn't think too much though just like I will not after killing them.

All four of them were in front of me with swords, a broad sword, a dagger.

I moved quietly as I was taking a walk with a bit of a smile. They started moving as they surrounded me, I wasted no time as I used function 2 from unnamed arts, I bolted like a gust of wind as I stabbed through the temporal lobe without any chance for him to do anything. I quickly took my dagger out with some brain juices of mixture of red and white color still sticking. His eyes were wide open as he was still alive.

[ 5 unit of energy has been gained ]

I felt a gust of wind behind me as I ducked and took out the sword from his hand and did a roll and I moved towards him as his huge sword was still stuck in the body of the dead guy. He tried to pull it back but without any giving any change, I threw it towards his face and no doubt, it didn't killed him but it blinded him for a second as he closed his eyes instinctively which was enough for me as I closed the distance in less than a second and punchered his heart as I quickly took my dagger back.

[ 5 unit of energy has been gained ]

The one with the dagger was already on my side trying to stab through my heart. I moved sideways as he stabbed my sides and made an opening because of his rashness so I quickly made a hole in the frontal lobe. Though it was hard, the dagger stabbed with a lightning speed without stopping and killed him. I nodded to myself while grunting in pain.

[ 5 unit of energy has been gained ]

I knew the effect of the function 2 will be over in sometime, then my physical condition will be even less than normal. So I wasted no time, as I threw the dead body of the dagger guy towards the last guy with the sword and like my prediction, he moved sideways and the moment he was behind the body, I flicked the broad sword with my leg and catched it in my left hand and made a swing after turning 360° with my raw force, no technique, a common broadsword, an extraordinary strength and centripetal force and I almost cut him in half. There was involvement of luck there though cause if he had moved the opposite of direction I have swung before he had moved then the dead body of the guy with the dagger would have saved him. Though, I reasoned that he would not move the dead body of the other sword guy instinctively so I had swung the other side.

I quickly sat down and I remembered what I was feeling, it was exactly how you feel when you are on adrenaline related drugs.

I quickly managed to move that cool stream as I tried to stabilize my condition. My heart was beating a drum and my muscles of hands and legs were twitching involuntarily. I was focusing with my eyes closed as carefully guiding the energy though my arteries, though I was feeling sour all over the body, I didn't lose focus. After 30 min, I couldn't go any further and I knew any longer and it will Definitely burst open. The strain was too much.

I exhaled lightly as I moved slightly and searched through their corpses. There was nothing much, some silver, a tablet of palm size, a house deed That's all, I took the broad sword too.

Staggering I moved out towards the inn and under watchful eyes, I entered my room as I fell asleep deeply.
