"They have been included in the Advanced Skills," Alex thought to himself. "Since the basic skills have reached a proficient level, there's no need to practice them further. I'll replace the Basic Mana Method with the Pain Mental Method first."
As mentioned in the Pain Mental Method book, the user should completely empty their mana and then consume the ingredient known as "Parfikl Tirosa." This ingredient is designed to drain the mana twice as fast whenever the user tries to channel mana into their body.This is the effect when engulfing only 1 piece , if consumed 2 pieces then mana is drained 4 times the user tries to channel mana in their body and so on.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Alex went online and searched for "Parfikl Tirosa" and it was true as what was said about it in the book .He went to buy it but found it was quite expensive . Since he has the expenses now in his hand . He ordered 500 pieces of it for the price of 250,000 Ark dollars leaving with him 750,000 Ark dollars.
Then he proceeded with the book "Unpredictable Footwork," renowned for its ability to provide short bursts of speed and unpredictability. This skill emphasized the significance of control and precision, guiding him on how to effectively utilize the power within his leg muscles to generate explosive bursts of speed. The sudden changes in direction and unpredictable movements inherent in this technique made it arduous for opponents to anticipate the user's final position or movement.
"This technique is truly remarkable. By incorporating it, I can enhance the effectiveness of my Invisible Sword technique," remarked Alex . He then proceeded to open the book titled "Demon Body," which had captivated him just as his ancestral sword had.
As Alex delved into the contents of the "Demon Body" book, he discovered that it involved inflicting self-damage and preparing a large pot filled with rare ingredients. The book instructed him to submerge himself in the boiling concoction, allowing his body to absorb all the nutrients completely. This method aimed to enhance his physical capabilities and strengthen his overall body constitution.
With a sigh, Alex realized that purchasing the ingredients for the "Demon Body" technique had significantly depleted his funds, leaving him with only 50,000 Ark dollars, which would last him for approximately three months. The realization of this financial burden weighed heavily on his mind, and he knew he needed to find a way to earn money in order to sustain his training and future endeavors.
"Sigh, I hope the results will truly justify the investment," Alex muttered, shaking his head . With his mind filled with determination, he dedicated the entire night to meticulously designing a training regime that would incorporate the new techniques he had acquired. Satisfied with his plan, he finally returned to his bed, hoping that his efforts would yield the desired outcomes and propel him towards his goals. With a sense of purpose, Alex drifted off to sleep, ready to embark on his training journey the following day.

1. For better visualisation of Exclusive moves , you can search in the youtube since these are the moves that Zoro uses.
2. Apologies for the confusion. If the main character (MC) doesn't experience emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear, or disgust personally but understands them and can discern them in others, it suggests that the MC possesses a cognitive understanding of emotions without personally experiencing them. This unique perspective allows the MC to observe and interpret emotional cues in other individuals, providing them with insight into others' states of mind and potentially aiding them in social interactions and understanding human behavior.
3. Regarding his minimal or lack of response, the main character simply doesn't enjoy engaging with others. He possesses a clear vision of what he wants to achieve in life and prefers to avoid any unnecessary complications or distractions. He prefers to keep a low profile, focusing on personal growth and self-development. The main character is determined to pursue their goals and desires, maintaining a solitary path that allows them to refine their skills and capabilities. By embracing solitude, they strive to achieve their objectives with unwavering dedication and a focused mindset, free from external influences.
