Shin was currently organizing the items inside his inventory space when he suddenly received a ssage from Owen.
Owen: Hey, Brother Swordsman! Are you going to watch the next two matches? Let's watch it again together!
Shin shook his head the mont he saw the ssage. He could pretty much read the hidden aning behind those words. "Heh! Looks like this guy is quite curious how I manage to predict the ending of that match, huh?"
He thought for a mont before muttering to himself. "Unfortunately, I have any intention to watch the next two matches since I am pretty sure that 'that guy' is going to win."
After that he imdiately rejected Owen's invitation. "Nah~! I still have so things that I needed to do. Maybe, I'll just review the matches of the winner later."
He then closed the ssage panel window before looking at the digital clock and saw that it was still night in the real world.
"It is still too early, huh?" muttered Shin to himself while thinking what he was going to do next. And after so consideration, he finally ca up with a decision. "Alright! Since I don't have anything to do, it is better for to practice my ntalism Techniques!"
He swept his gaze inside the room for one more ti, making sure that he didn't forget anything. And after confirming that there was nothing else to do, he finally logged out of the ga.
...
Pssh!
As usual, Shin's nose was imdiately assaulted by a foul sll right after the Gaming Cabin opened itself. But this ti, the sll was not as unbearable as before.
Shin slightly tilted his head to the side before muttering to himself. "Maybe my nose is getting used to it since it already happened a couple of tis."
Then he pressed so buttons on the Cabin as usual to make it cleaned itself. After that, he went towards the bathroom to take a quick shower before doing his ntalism Training.
…
Shin was currently walking towards his usual spot where he was training, when he suddenly noticed soone already beat him into that place. He knitted his brow for a mont thinking who this person was. It was impossible to be Arthur since that guy already had his own spot for his special training.
Regardless, Shin just tilted his head a little before walking towards that place. And as he got nearer on it, the figure of the person sitting in a lotus position started to beco clear on his view.
And even though he still couldn't see the person's face since the guy was facing his back, Shin could still feel that this person was sowhat familiar.
Shin didn't disturb the person in his ditation, as a respect of the Martial-Arts' unspoken rule. He just sat beneath the tree shades before entering a mild ditation. A mont later, he opened his eyes as he felt a gaze starting at him. And when he raised his head to look on his front, he saw a sowhat familiar face.
"You!?" said Shin unconsciously the mont he identified who was the person.
The guy scratched the back of his head while saying. "Looks like this is your usual spot for ditating, huh? I apologize for invading it."
Shin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't actually mind. Then he carefully asked. "More importantly-… How co that you are here-… Se-senior Brother?"
It turned out that the guy was actually David.
Hearing that he was being addressed as Senior Brother, David imdiately snapped with his fingers while saying with a cheek smile. "I see that you still haven't forgotten our agreent! As for why I am here-…"
"Hmm-… how should I put it," he carefully thought for a mont before continuing. "Let's just say that your family makes so arrangents for – out of gratitude for saving you before."
He suddenly put his hand together while saying. "Anyways, since I am already here and I can also see that you are already in a sowhat good state, let fulfill my on our deal!"
The mont Shin heard that, he suddenly beca excited. "Are you finally going to teach the way to suppress my 'Seed of Hatred'!?"
"Yeah, Yeah! As long as you didn't forget your end," said David while wearing a cheeky smile.
Shin nodded his head without having any signs of hesitation. Though, he was grinning inside. 'Yeah, Big Sis will take care of you later.'
Hearing that, David seed to smile briefly before saying to Shin. "Alright, let's start. Co here, let check your system first."
Shin knitted his eyebrows at first before walking towards David. And when he was in front of the latter, he imdiately extended his right arm so that David could examine his pulse.
David took a deep breath to regulate his breathing before holding Shin's arm with one hand while placing his index and middle finger of his other hand on Shin's pulse. And the mont later, his face suddenly turned weird. "What the heck?"
Shin was suddenly taken aback at the sudden words that David just said and asked carefully. "Is there sothing wrong?"
Cough! Cough!
David started clearing his throat a little before saying to Shin with a stiff smile. "There is nothing. I just don't expect that you possessed-… such-… an interesting dantian."
Though, he was saying differently inside. 'The heck with this guy? He already possessed the Demonic Qi inside his body? That only ans that he already passed the trial of his first 'Demon Seed'.'
Hearing that, Shin suddenly replied. "Oh~! That one? Master said that it was because I just completed engraving the Runes of my 'Qi Reinforcent Arts' on my bones."
The corner of David's mouth the mont he heard that. Then he tried to recall the circling Sacred Qi and Demonic Qi within Shin's dantian, which were forming a natural cycle. 'Because of so sort of 'Qi Reinforcent Arts'? Are you kidding ? That is definitely the sa as Sir Adam's 'Heavenly Demon Core'!'
'Wait! If he already had that-... does it an that Sir Adam already dropped by on this place and helped him establish this core?'
Seeing the expression that David was making, Shin further knitted his brow and asked. "Is there sothing wrong?"
David snapped out of his daze start after he was called out. Then he looked at Shin and said. "Aright, I am going to teach you a certain ntalism Technique. Make sure to prepare your mind."
Hearing that, Shin imdiately hopped away from David while saying. "Wait! Wait! Wait! Are you going to teach another ntalism Techniques? I already had mine so I can't learn another. Or else, it may conflict with my current Techniques which will also affect my current progress!"
David suddenly started chuckling the mont he heard that. "Hehe… don't worry. This certain ntalism Technique is quite special. It can complent any other ntalism Techniques as well as all kinds of Martial Arts."
Shin couldn't help but beco skeptical when he heard those claims. He then looked at David with a doubtful face as if he was saying. – "Do you take as a fool? Do such ntalism Techniques exist?" –
As if he could read what Shin was thinking, David suddenly clicked his tongue and said. "Tch! Do you think an ordinary ntalism Technique can suppress a 'Seed of Hatred'? This certain ntalism is created by my talented master and her powerful husband."
Still doubtful, Shin said at him skeptically and said with a sarcastic tone. "And how can I be even sure about that?"
David sighed helplessly and said. "Because they created this ntalism Technique so that they could suppress the 'Evil' within my master's husband."
"With the help of this technique, Sir Ad-… I an my master's husband beca one of the Martial-Artists who conquered all of their demons. No-… he did not only conquer it, he completely dominated all of them and turned their powers as his own."
Shin was still raising his eyebrows as he still didn't believe him. "Still! How can I confirm all of your claims? It can be sothing that you just co up with to trick or sothing."
David beca a little annoyed and said. "Did you eat your brain or sothing? Do you think I am going to play so tricks on you inside your own territory? Do you take as an idiot?"
Shin squinted his eyes a little and said. "Then let hear the na of the ntalism Technique first, so that I can consult my Martial-Art Master and ntalism Teacher about it."
This ti, David's face suddenly turned serious and didn't imdiately give his reply. He crossed his arms in front of his chest before saying with a solemn tone. "No. This ntalism Technique is too important for others to know about it. There are only four people who know about its existence – and that is , my master, her husband and my martial sister."
"Do you even know the weight of a ntalism Technique that can suppress a 'Seed of Hatred'? If such Technique got leaked or even landed on the wrong hands, then it will bring chaos in the whole world."
Shin paused for a mont when he saw the seriousness on David's face; especially when he felt the heaviness on his voice. But he still didn't get persuaded, so he asked with a careful yet doubtful tone. "If that is the case, then why are you so willing to teach such an important technique?"
David didn't imdiately reply at him and just looked at Shin straight to his eyes. 'If only I can tell you the real reason, then I already did it on our first eting.'
He then lowered his head for a mont before answering Shin's question. "Isn't that the reason why I asked you to beco my junior martial brother?"
"Why ?" said Shin with a flat tone.
David released a helpless sigh before saying. "You know that I am called the 'Wanderer', right?"
At first, Shin didn't know what that title stood for. He only heard it for the first ti when he was in the hospital and David was asking for Old Plum's permission to teach him this certain technique that could suppress his 'seed of hatred'.
But when he was researching the 'Unified Strengthening' and other ways that could help him combine his ntalism and Martial-Arts, he suddenly ca across a certain article regarding this 'Wanderer' thing.
In that article discussed a certain young ntalist who possessed a great talent that could rival all of the top geniuses in his generation. They called him the 'Wanderer' because he often traveled around the world to challenge all of the top geniuses in certain countries.
And because he never suffered a single lost since he started his journey, he beca famous around the world and was placed on the sa level as the demon-level geniuses of different continents.
Recalling the things about this guy in front of him, Shin nodded his head as a response at David's question.
Seeing that, David took a deep breath before starting to tell his tale. "Then let's first start at the real reason why I travel around the world."
