Guntherson started teaching Kieran straight away.
There were no special rituals or baptisms that Kieran had expected.
Guntherson just went through three simple poses.
Sit, lie, and walk.
Sit was to sit in the air, lie like a baby, and walk was to touch the ground with the toes.
Following Guntherson's words, every pose was explained in great detail, especially some of the details, which Guntherson repeatedly explained.
"Although it's just a small detail, these small details are the essence of this body tempering technique!
When you sit, your spine must be straight, don't shake!
When you lie down, make sure your breathing is long and steady, and your body must curl up like a baby!
When you walk, touch the ground with your toes. Every time you touch the ground, there should be a tremor, from small to large, and then spread throughout your whole body! "
...
[Guntherson is teaching you the Dawn Knight Body Tempering Technique. Do you want to spend 1 Golden Skill Point to learn it?]
"Yes!"
Kieran was stunned when he saw the system notification.
However, that did not stop Kieran from making up his mind.
Kieran still had no idea what a Golden Skill Point was, but he could tell how precious it was just by looking at the prefix.
However, no matter how precious it was, it was useless to Kieran if it could not be turned into strength.
He needed to become stronger faster.
The opportunity was right before his eyes!
[Learned Skill: Dawn Knight Body Tempering Technique (Basic)]
[Name: Dawn Knight Body Tempering Technique (Basic)]
[Related Attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution, Spirit, Intuition]
[Skill Type: Ancillary]
[Effects: You know how to use special movements and breathing techniques to strengthen yourself, All Attributes + 1]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Strength F +, Agility F +, Constitution F +, Spirit F +, Intuition F +]
[Remarks: This was once a compulsory course for the Knight of the Church of Dawn. It determines the level of a Knight's other skills!]
A warm current burst out from Kieran's heart.
It instantly spread to his limbs and bones, baptizing Kieran's soul in the purest form.
When Kieran came back to his senses, he immediately felt his own strength.
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] made him feel like he was reborn in a short period of time!
"All Stats + 1!"
Looking at the description of the effects of the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art (Basic)], Kieran immediately felt that the previous 1 Gold Point was worth it.
[Attributes: Strength: E; Agility: E; Constitution: E; Spirit: E-; Intuition: D-]
In terms of attributes, this was already more than the sum of the other skills.
After all, Kieran did not have any skills that increased the Spirit Attribute.
Hu, hu!
After a few deep breaths, Kieran finally calmed down.
Then, he saw Guntherson's incredulous face.
"Y-you've mastered it?"
The Guardian Knight's words were already stuttering.
Although Kieran had said something like "While you carry out your plan, you can increase your strength", Guntherson had never thought that Kieran would be able to master it after just one demonstration, and he had even mastered it to a certain degree.
This, this is too unbelievable!
Even Tilly, whom he had high hopes for, had spent four years to reach this level.
Although Guntherson thought that Kieran's talent was much better than Tilly's, it was still too good to be true!
For a moment, the Guardian Knight was completely shocked.
"I learned things faster than others since I was young!"
Looking at Guntherson, Kieran uttered the words he had prepared beforehand.
He did not mean to lie to him.
He had been forced to do so.
There were some things that Kieran could never say out loud.
Kieran had a deeper understanding of white lies after he had entered the underground game.
"Is that so?"
Guntherson looked at Kieran with a probing gaze.
It was not that he did not believe what Kieran had said, but Kieran's talent was too scary. In the secret records of the Church of Dawn, only the God's Child could reach such a level.
However, the most recent record of a God's Child was from 500 years ago.
It had been so long ago that Guntherson, the Guardian Knight, couldn't even tell the difference.
One thing was for sure though. Kieran had indeed mastered the basics of the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts] in an instant.
Guntherson had been practicing the body tempering arts since he was young, so Kieran's changes could not be hidden from him at all.
The curiosity brought about by the investigation made the Guardian Knight unable to hold back.
"Learning things faster than others?
I have a set of self-defense skills here!
Watch carefully! "
He said.
Guntherson did not hold back or hide his curiosity at all. As soon as he finished speaking, he started a series of kicks and explained each of the moves to Kieran.
[Guntherson wants to teach you Barsical Kick. Do you want to spend 1 Skill Point to learn it?]
Kieran was stunned on the spot.
He could not imagine such a good thing happening!
If it was not for his identity, he would have given Guntherson a warm hug.
"Is it because I triggered some hidden settings?"
Kieran thought in his heart.
It was obvious that Guntherson's reaction was because he had learned the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts] in an instant.
Kieran smiled from the bottom of his heart when he realized the value of spending 1 Golden Skill Point.
It was definitely worth it!
Kieran commented.
As for learning the [Barsical Kick]?
There was no need for him to hesitate.
"Yes!"
[Learned Skill: Barsical Kick (Basic)]
[Name: Barsical Kick (Basic)]
[Related Attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution]
[Skill Type: Offensive]
[Effects: Your legs are more agile than your hands. When you attack with your legs, your second attack will increase your Agility by + 1]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts]
[Remarks: You must remember that the Barsical Kick skill cannot exceed the Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts level!]
…
The knowledge in his mind was transferred to his body at the same time.
When everything was done, Kieran launched a series of kicks.
Bang!
A shadow of a kick swept across the air, followed by a loud air-breaking sound.
Kieran's Strength and Agility had reached E rank, and with the buffs from [Hand-to-Hand Combat, Master of Kicks] and [Barsical Kick], when Kieran launched his second kick, his Strength and Agility had reached E + rank.
This kind of strength made him the absolute champion among weightlifters, and this kind of strength also made him the absolute champion among sprinters.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
Shadow after shadow of a kick spread out in front of Kieran. Some were fast, some were slow, some were fast, but the force behind each kick felt like a thousand pounds.
Guntherson's eyes were wide open.
God's Child!
The real God's Child!
Guntherson's heart started to cry out in shock.
A long-lost excitement rose in Guntherson's heart, but it quickly faded away.
A faint sadness filled his heart.
If it had happened 50 years ago …
The thought popped up in Guntherson's heart uncontrollably.
Then, all his thoughts turned into a sigh.
There were no 'ifs' in life.
Guntherson quietly watched as Kieran performed [Barsical Kick].
There were no moves in the kicking technique. The essence of the kicking technique lay in the use of one's own strength. It was a way of exerting force, and it could increase the speed of one's legs.
Of course, if one reached a certain level, there could be other extensions as well.
Using both hands!
Kieran, of course, couldn't reach such a level.
Guntherson believed that Kieran would be able to do it soon enough.
After all, he was a God's Child!
...
When Kieran was almost exhausted, he finally stopped.
Kieran was hoping that Guntherson would teach him more skills. However, to Kieran's disappointment, Guntherson seemed to be in a trance. He did not notice Kieran's presence though.
Kieran didn't have any complaints though.
After all, according to the Skill Books, [Barsical Kick] should be a Magic Rank skill, and [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts] should be a Rare Rank skill. To Kieran, being able to learn [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts] and [Barsical Kick], even if he failed the Main Mission, he would have no regrets.
Of course, Kieran would never give up on the Main Mission on purpose.
Kieran put his hands on his knees. His exhausted stamina started to recover quickly, and Kieran's body started to breathe and move according to the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts]'s instructions.
A faint warmth spread through Kieran's body as he breathed.
It was magical!
"The [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Arts] is the foundation that every Knight of the Church of Dawn must practice, and it is also the foundation of other skills.
It needs time to be honed to reach its desired level.
"And when it reaches an extremely high level, learning other skills will yield twice the result with half the effort!"
Guntherson's voice sounded in Kieran's ears.
There was a slight change in his tone, but it returned to normal in the next moment.
Kieran did not notice the change, but he thanked Guntherson respectfully for his advice, even though the system had mentioned it.
"Kieran, don't waste your talent!
At the same time, remember your kindness!
"We need to get down to business — that Evan guy!"
Guntherson did not warn Kieran in a harsh tone, but he used a more serious tone to warn Kieran before moving the topic back to business.
