After chatting for a while, Shin was able to get a rough idea of Wade's situation. From what he had heard, it seed like the latter was suffering from serious malnutrition due to being exposed a little too much to 'Hyperactive Imrsion'.
Unlike the 'Reality Manifestation', where the player could just rely on their Martial Arts and ntalism Attainnts from the real world, the person who could use the 'Hyperactive Imrsion' needed to adjust their body from the real world and match their slowly evolving minds with it.
If there was a discrepancy between the mind and the body, it could result in a serious conflict. Due to the mind being a little too advanced compared to the body, the latter would consu a lot of nutrition. But if the required nourishnt was not t, then the body would instead consu the vitality or lifeforces of the person, which could cause them to die a slow and suffering death.
Usually, it was not as serious as this. But the version of 'Hyperactive Imrsion' that Diablo was using was much more advanced compared to the original one. Moreover, he was also using a secret technique that was putting a huge burden on his brain after using it for an extended period of ti, so the side effects that he was suffering were much more serious than what they used to be.
lightsΝοvel Fortunately, Wade arrived here before the situation could even get worse. It was also thanks to an old family friend, who was supporting him up until now, that he was able to live up until this point.
If his situation was mishandled even for a little bit, then he would most likely die from 'hunger'.
But all this suffering was exchanged for so things that positively affected him both in the real world and the virtual world.
After the treatnt that he was undergoing, he would be able to steadily grow. As his mind evolved further and his body beca stronger through the nourishnts of special serums, dicines, and food with a highly concentrated energy, Wade would be able to live the life of an expert.
He would be able to make up for his lack of talent when it ca to Martial Arts and ntalism and beca a true expert himself.
These things further fueled Shin's desire to pull Diablo over to their side. It was because all these things were the result of the latter attaining extre strength that surpassed most of the players within the ga.
At the sa ti, he was also quite eager to fight Diablo right now. It seed like the guy was also progressing fast while Shin was making his own progress in his fighting style.
"Your future test will be conducted here when everything is handled by the Professor. But it still has to wait for a few days or even a whole week before you can be transferred here-…" explained Benedict while introducing the whole place to Wade. "…-after all, there is still so equipnt in the research center that we don't have here."
"You can only co over when all the required tests are done and all the data are recovered properly," he added as he turned toward the two once again.
Benedict thought for a mont before continuing. "Since you are already in a better condition, I suggest that you do so daily exercise during the morning and co here in the afternoon for your strength training."
"We have to make sure that your body has adjusted properly before you can receive more advanced training."
"But before you undergo specialized training from a dedicated instructor, you have to find a suitable Martial Manual in the virtual world and train it. You must reach a certain level of mastery of the art before you can proceed in training it in the real world."
"I understand, Sir Benedict," nodded Wade with full seriousness.
Benedict chuckled when he heard how Wade addressed him before complaining. "How many tis do I have to tell you not to call that? Big Brother or Brother Benedict will be fine. Senior Brother will do as well."
"Our ages are not that far from each other. I am still young to be addressed like that," he added with a helpless tone.
Wade hesitated for a mont since he felt that he was indebted to Benedict. After all, the latter was the one who was always looking after him whenever Professor Henry was absent.
But after a brief hesitation, he still nodded his head and complied. "I understand, Senior Brother."
Seemingly like this attitude, Benedict pointed at Shin and continued. "I also suggest hanging out with this guy more often. He may look younger than you, but there is no doubt about his strength."
"He is already quite an expert himself. Although, he is still a little wet behind his ears."
"But you will surely benefit from hanging out with him and his friends, especially as each of them was a student from the special program of the academy. They are the talents that may represent us in the upcoming 'Empires War' and 'Battle for Supremacy' three years from now."
Benedict did not mind telling such a thing as it was not even a secret. Shin and the rest of the class joined that special program for that very reason anyway, so it was kind of an open secret already.
In the anti, Wade could not help but give Shin an odd look as he was not sure how to believe such words. But after recalling his experience inside the ga when they first fought, he imdiately beca convinced.
He had to admit that Shin was very powerful inside the ga.
And if Shin really commanded the state of 'Reality Manifestation', then it could only an that Shin had a very strong Martial Arts or ntalism thod here in the real world.
Wade nodded his head, acknowledging the words that Benedict had said.
Benedict thought for a mont before pointing toward the little gym at the other side of the secret laboratory and instructing. "Since you don't have anything to do, then I suggest you try building muscles for the ti being."
"You don't have to start lifting yet since your body is still in the middle of recovery. But I suggest you do so cardio first."
"If you don't know what to do, then you can look around there and wait for until I am done with Junior Shin," he added before turning around and pulling Shin toward the special energy rooms.
Shin nodded his head to Wade, excusing himself.
Wade returned to nod before turning toward the strength-building gym.
…
Benedict led Shin toward the special training rooms while asking. "So, what do you want to ask , junior?"
Shin thought for a mont before quickly telling Benedict the purpose of his visit. "Senior Benedict. It is like this. When I was doing my Tier 3 Promotion Quest, I suddenly got inspiration and was able to create a unique fighting style of my own."
"It is a combination of the ntalism swordsmanship from my 'Jade Kirin Scripture' and the special thods of my 'Four Symbol Scripture'."
"And together with the special breathing techniques and energy applications that I have learned from the lessons that Professor Henry has suggested, I am able to create my unique ntalism swordsmanship."
"But the problem is I can't apply it in the real world due to the limitations of my current realm. It will only be possible if I reach the Rulers Realm at the very least, which is way too far from my current realm. I am not even at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm."
Benedict continued to listen before asking. "Can you describe this unique ntalism swordsmanship that you are talking about? I may be able to find a way if I have a clear picture of it."
Shin thought for a mont before suggesting. "How about I show you a recording of my battle? I am sure that it will give a clearer idea."
"That will be better!" nodded Benedict before making a turn and heading toward the little relaxation room adjacent to the energy training rooms.
Shin quickly followed while using his advanced watch to log in to the official website of the ga and enter his personal cloud storage account.
He also went straight to the recorded and backup videos before downloading the necessary materials that he needed.
...
Inside the relaxation room, Benedict watched all the battle clips of Shin fighting Lucy. He even replayed a couple of them, trying to get a clearer look at his junior's style.
When everything ended, he could not help but shake his head and click his tongue repeatedly. He had to admit that his junior was indeed talented when it ca to ntalism techniques and swordsmanship, especially when it ca to sword-drawing style that made him want to go for a quick spar.
His junior might not be fully aware of it, but he could see that this sword-drawing style had great potential in the hands of this junior.
Shin just did not know how to fully utilize it yet. Or to be more precise, he still had not polished it enough to showcase its real strength.
But despite that being the case, Shin seed to have found another way to fully utilize his multiple attributes and even created such a complex and complicated style of fighting.
"Multiple styles in fighting," mumbled Benedict before laughing bitterly. "This reminds of that old demon from that great war."
"An old demon?" asked Shin with a confused and curious tone.
Benedict turned to Shin and nodded his head. "Yeah. An old demon. The Thousand-Arms Demon Asura."
"Even though your version of 'multiple styles rge into one' is a little different, the vibe that they gave off and the logic behind the entirety of the style are sowhat similar," he added.
Shin had heard about the 'Great War' before since the old general in their ho, Samuel Springfield, Demon-Fist General, was one of the active experts during that ti.
But was a very long ti ago and Samuel Springfield was still very young at that ti. Moreover, the records about that war seed to have been sealed or controlled due to certain reasons.
But Shin also heard that there were quite a lot of powerful experts that rose and fell during that ti, so it would be impossible for him to hear about all of them.
Shin knitted his brows and asked. "It sounds like you have seen that so-called Demon, Senior."
Benedict laughed and waved his hand. "It is not like I have seen it personally. But I indeed saw him fought before. Although, it is only from video records."
"Video recordings?" Shin could not help but feel a little excited when he heard that.
Benedict thought for a mont before explaining. "During the ti when the war ended. There is a certain event that makes so of the surviving experts fight against each other."
"I am not clear about the reason behind it, but I only heard that it is because of so 'moral values' or such."
"During that ti, there was a huge battle that occurred. Then so people who seem to be docunting the 'victory' of our side happen to witness it and started recording the battle."
"And one of the recordings is a battle that the Thousand-Arms Asura have participated in. That is where he displayed his extrely brute but complicated Martial Arts. He is able to wield multiple types of weapons at once and even shuffle so of them during the entire battle."
"It is really such a mysterious art. It makes him look like a demon with multiple arms."
"I happened to watch his battle against another apex expert through a recording when I was doing my early internship at the World Research Center. We are using it as a study material for a certain subject."
He then paused for a mont as he tried to recall sothing before continuing. "But from what I rember, the recording is originally owned by the governnt – the Departnt of Cultural Heritage."
"It is a departnt that preserves the inheritances of ancient martial arts or cultivation knowledge. I heard that they also major in studying those ancient knowledge that are left behind by past eras."
He then quickly went back to the original topic and continued. "Anyway, I have gotten a rough idea of your style and understand the logic behind it. I think it is not that impossible to achieve, but it will be very difficult to achieve."
"Let consult the professor about this. I am sure that he can find a way," he added before instructing. "For now, focus on improving your control over your three innate attributes and master the special breathing techniques. The rest will naturally follow."
"You don't have to be too anxious about it. You just must advance at a steady pace, and you will gradually achieve what you are looking for."
Shin nodded his head and quickly thanked Benedict. "Thank you, Senior. I will co back again at the usual schedule."
Benedict nodded his head before sending Shin off. After that, he walked back inside the laboratory to watch over Wade.
"Tsk! Tsk! It is really hard to be a personal assistant of the professor. I have been working my *ss off these past few days. I wonder when Big Sister and the rest will co back. I seriously need their assistance right now."
