The mont I finally opened my eyes, I felt relieved; what I saw felt truly like an eternity, and it was a vision akin to what I saw when I killed and ate half of Uroboros' soul; it was as if I had seen a glimpse of a primordial being’s past.
It was just a glimpse; a complete Story of this caliber would have most likely destroyed my soul, but it was only a glimpse, a glimpse that remained within . It was as if the Celestial Golden Dragon Emperor gifted a small piece of his own Myth.
It was too small to do anything big with it, but it was enough for the Martial Arts to absorb it, growing stronger than before.
Ding!
[The [Celestial Golden Dragon Divine Fist: Tier 5 (Core Martial Arts)] has absorbed enough Comprehension and its Growth has increased!]

[The {Small Myth Fragnt of the Celestial Golden Dragon Emperor} has been absorbed by the [Celestial Golden Dragon Divine Fist: Tier 6 (Core Martial Arts)]!]
Oh, an Innate Ability?! So it’s kind of like the Cursed Seals and Heart of Hope too?

“No way, it’s really good!”
I couldn’t help but scream like a kid; it didn’t give any stat boost or anything, but it was an authentic Martial Sense! I have yet to even get one of those, but now I have it?!
Pretty much, Martial Senses allow a Martial Artist/Cultivator to unleash their Techniques “automatically” as they are attacked or fight. A simple punch will suddenly beco a Mountain-Crushing Fist without them needing to focus or concentrate; it simply… becos part of them, their very senses.
This is perhaps how the Immortals beco so overpowered! Aside from being incredibly tough physically and having super regeneration, they possess Martial Senses, which can increase in Rank and Power as they cultivate more.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
For , it only has three slots; maybe I’ll unlock more later, or maybe not, but what’s important is that I have it!
Now, what Techniques do I even choose?
“Hmm…”
I could probably go for a Stance, as it would allow to automatically get on a powerful Stance that’ll give a boost to my Stats.
But I have to choose it carefully; after all, the decision becos permanent. Well, it’s not completely permanent; maybe if I destroy the knowledge of this martial art and relearn it from scratch…
Whatever, that’s not a possibility right now.
“Martial Sense is pretty much a “Counter” ability all Cultivators have; it is what also makes them so damn annoying and deadly. You just can’t ever ambush them or surprise them; whenever they’re attacked, they’ll instantly know and have at least three techniques ready to blow your ass,” I said. “So if possible, they should benefit from the Counterattacking effect, perhaps also defensive…”
“What are you mumbling about?” Sepa wondered.
“Yeah, you’re weird,” Bastet smiled, mocking .
“Agh, shut it,” I sighed. “I’m… just look.”
I showed them what I was thinking about, and they quickly understood; apparently, it was a power not even Constellations possessed aside from those from Murim.
“Murim bastards always hoarding all the incredible techniques,” said Sepa, groaning.
“Well, what else can they do? They developed their own techniques and martial arts; those are their treasures,” said Bastet. “anwhile, all other Nebulas have incredible Cosmic Relics, they can only rely on their fists and their martial arts.”
“So that’s how it is?” I wondered. “Hmm… So any ideas?”
“I would suggest sothing aggressive,” said Bastet. “Rember, you already possess the ability to survive a fatal blow with your Hero Title. So in the worst-case scenario, you get almost killed and go all out with a counterattack!”
“Not bad…” I nodded. “Sepa? Any opinions?”
“I have little idea about these things,” Sepa said. “But at least don’t pick the grander and bigger techniques; those drain too much Ki and are too big and dramatic. You have to strike them in the vitals, you know? And then push them away so you can combo with other techniques.”
“Right, yeah! Okay, I think I got a proper idea…”
Ding!
[You have chosen the Martial Techniques: [Celestial Red Dragon’s Stance of Power] [Heavenly Dragon’s Armor-Piercing Fangs] and [Wrathful Dragon’s Vital Strike] for your {Celestial Golden Dragon’s Martial Sense}!]
[Your Martial Sense is in full effect; whenever you’re in danger or when a foe is coming for you, the selected martial arts will automatically activate to counterattack!]
“Aweso.”
I was finally done with that one; I had the Primordial Crystals, and the box left. I decided to feed the Primordial Crystals later and quickly open the treasure box instead.
“Let’s see, give sothing nice.”
The treasure chest opened with a tallic sound, revealing shiny contents inside.
[You have opened the [chanoid Thed Treasure Chest (S Rank)] x1!]
[You received the Following Items: [Body Strengthening Nanomachine Injection (S Rank)] x1 [Random chanoid Skill Scroll (A Rank)] x1 [Electromagnetic Core Crystal (B Rank)] x1 [chanoid Power Armor (B Rank)] x1]
“Huh?! These items are weird…”
I glanced at the items inside, a syringe full of liquid tal, rcury? But at a closer look, they were a bunch of tiny little robots, nanobots.
So if I inject myself with this, I strengthen my body? It feels a bit weird; I don’t know if I would ever do that, though. I’m not in a Cyberpunk world or sothing.
Then there’s the Skill Scroll, it was actually a tallic tablet with letters imprinted on it. That’s a first, I think! I’ll definitely be using that.
Then there’s the Corey Crystal, a big, glowing, blue-colored crystal. Okay, I guess it could be absorbed? Or maybe used as a material or…
For the chanoid Power Armor?
It ca in a cubic shape, but when I grabbed it, the armor suddenly opened up as if it were all compressed, rapidly dividing around my body, covering completely with a chanical bodysuit.
“Woah! T-This is…!”
“Anna?!”
“Hey!”
Sepa and Bastet panicked as they thought a machine was attacking , but I cald them down after giggling to myself for a little bit.
Okay, this was pretty aweso!
“Don’t worry, I’m fine; calm down!” I laughed. “I can move just fine; it’s really light.”
I looked at myself in the mirror, noticing the chanoid Power Armor had extended around my body and covered it completely. It was very tight against my body and rather thin, but it seed to offer great protection.
The helt part even ca with so transparent glass or plastic for my eyes to be able to see the surroundings.
However, aside from this, which it could turn from armor to cube at will, there was no other effect, apparently.
“It’s pretty interesting; I like it,” I said. “However, it has nothing special about it aside from that? Like, I think it needs fuel or sothing… Oh yeah.”
As I grabbed the core in my hands, I quickly realized what I had to do. I placed the spherical core over the cube, and then the cube rapidly absorbed it.
Then, I equipped the armor again; this ti, a big, glowing blue core was right within my chest, empowering the rest of the armor.
Neon blue circuits spread across the entire armor, as neon blue lights surged from my shoulders and the rest of my body, even my helt.
It looked aweso!
And then…
[Initializing chanoid Power Armor for Humans…]
[Initializing complete. The Body type has been successfully scanned and adapted to.]
[Electromagnetic Core has been detected; all functions are being restored.]
[The Ability: [Material Absorption] has been added.]
[The Ability: [Weapon Materialization] has been added.]
[The Ability: [Adaptability] has been added.]
[New Abilities can be unlocked as the chanoid Power Armor absorbs materials and increases its mass.]
“Nice! It even got abilities!” I said.
“Huh, that’s freaky; it is as if you were wearing the skin of your foe,” said Sepa.
“Well, I like the armor,” said Bastet. “I wish we had that back when Set and my sister betrayed … I’ve never seen this type of technology within the Constellation Nebulas nor the Realm Beyond or anything.”
“I guess that ans these Machine Worlds are very rare as well…” I nodded. “Well, let’s use this and go have breakfast.”
I quickly used the “scroll,” or more like tal tablet, and absorbed its contents in the form of blinding blue light that entered my body.
FLASH!
Then, I felt a new power surge within ; a new Skill was born.
Ding!
[You have used the [Random chanoid Skill Scroll (A Rank)] x1, you have been given a chanoid-only Skill at Random!]
[You learned the chanoid Skill: [Initiate Nanomachine Manipulation (B): Lv1]!]
“Wait, for real?!”
That reverse luck was blessing well today.
