Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 397 Knight's Secret Technique: Blood Frenzy
"Professor Yaro, what exactly are the directions and methods you mentioned, and how should I proceed?" Bevin asked earnestly.

Yaro pointed to the shadow within the ball of light and said:

"Just like what you're doing now, keep using this ability until you reach your limit, and that's how you'll train from now on."

The direction is to observe whether your ability to control shadows has become stronger. The stronger it is, the closer you are to activating your mental power.

"I clearly didn't sense any mental energy, and using this ability didn't require any mental energy at all. How can training it activate mental energy?" Bevin asked, puzzled.

Yaro tapped the table and said seriously:
"You must remember, what I've always been telling you is to 'perceive spiritual power'."

Mental strength is not an energy possessed by any special person.

It's like the 'voluntary muscles' that everyone has.

In theory, everyone controls their voluntary muscles through conscious effort, but in reality, without physical exercise, many people cannot even perceive the existence of certain muscles, let alone control them.

Compared to 'voluntary muscles,' mental power is even more unique because it doesn't even have any sense of self-touch; ordinary people simply cannot directly confirm its existence..."

Bevin understood this statement very well.

Because Bevin had once seen Bud show off his strength by shaking his chest muscles, but when Bevin tried it in private, he could only stick out his stomach.

However, while he understood it, he was also very interested in the newly appeared word.

"Teacher, what is 'voluntary muscle'?" Bevan asked.

Yaro took a sip of fruit wine and said leisurely:
"Voluntary muscles are what we commonly call muscles. They are attached to bones and joints and have a complete reflex arc. In contrast, there are involuntary muscles such as cardiac muscle, digestive muscle, arrector pili muscle, and respiratory muscle."

Although Bevan didn't know about 'respiratory muscles' and 'digestive muscles', he had seen slaughtered cattle and sheep, and even seen their freshly beating hearts.

The heart beats continuously without conscious control, and the biceps brachii muscles do not exert force without conscious effort.

A comparison will make it clear what the so-called 'involuntary muscle' means.

Bevin seemed thoughtful, and asked thoughtfully:

“Teacher Yaro, my father once told me that our family has a knightly secret technique that can accelerate the heartbeat and unleash tremendous power in a short time. I have also seen it. Small bumps can also appear on your body surface at will (Cat Walk Fist 'Running').

So, can I understand it this way?

"Voluntary muscles are the range of muscles that an average person can control, while involuntary muscles are muscle groups that only very strong individuals can control?"

“That’s a valid interpretation too,” Yaro replied with a smile, though he was pondering another question in his mind.

'Knightly secret techniques? There really are such things?'

When Yaro was young, he saw this word in a fairy tale book in his family's castle.

But perhaps because the Ghana family's foundation was too weak, they were completely unaware of the existence of knightly secret techniques.

Or perhaps because knightly techniques weren't important, his grandfather deliberately kept the information from Aro so that he could focus on learning wizarding knowledge.

In short, this was the first time Yaro had ever heard of the existence of 'Knight's Secret Technique'.

After a moment's recollection, Yaro quickly remembered the previous battles.

'It seems... aside from the undead knights in the academy, the other official knights who have fought me to the death all seem to possess some explosive techniques!'

Judging from Bevan's nonchalant talk about their family's secret techniques, and considering the knights they had encountered before, this kind of explosive knightly technique was not exactly a secret among the knights in this area.

'Wait!' A sudden flash of inspiration struck Yaro.

'If knightly techniques can truly break through physical limits like the Catwalk Fist, then wouldn't learning these techniques be a shortcut to becoming a full-fledged knight?'

'Even... if one could strengthen and control all the organs and muscles in the body, training the muscles, bones, and skin externally, and cultivating one's inner energy internally, using this orthodox martial arts method, wouldn't it be possible to activate the system?'

'Want to collect the Knight's Secret Techniques?'

Yaro also had another, albeit vague, conjecture.

The human heart is like water, and the people's movements are like smoke.

Even if the main means of gaining power in this world is to become a wizard, are there no 'warriors' at all?

Martial arts are about strengthening oneself internally and mastering the art of warfare externally.

Based on this understanding, could the Knight's Secret Techniques simply be another form of 'martial arts'?

It may be, or it may not be.

Even Yaro cannot guarantee it.

After all, so far, the only move that Yaro has encountered that can be recognized by the system without modification is the 'Knight Breathing Technique'. Before seeing the Knight's Secret Technique, he cannot predict it in advance.

'Let's try finding a knight's manual first!'

Thinking of this, Yaro looked at Bevin and asked directly, "Bevin, can I see your family's knightly secret techniques?"

“Of course,” Bevan said, getting up to get it. “By the way, Professor Yarrow, are you planning to learn knightly techniques?”

“Yes, I’m thinking about that,” Yaro nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Bevan stopped and quickly turned around to remind him:

"Teacher, my father and I have repeatedly told us that in order to successfully use the Knight's Secret Technique, one must first possess the Seed of Life. Furthermore, our family's Knight's Secret Technique places a very heavy burden on the body, and one must never learn it before becoming a formal knight."

"Teacher Yaro, you know my father's character; he would never lie to me about something like this!"

The Knight's Secret Techniques were indeed a precious treasure to the Perrin family, but Bevin had his own judgment. The knowledge he had learned from Yaro far exceeded the value of the Knight's Secret Techniques.

This was Bevin's pure, selfless admonition.

"Alright, I understand. I'll be careful," Yaro said with a light laugh and a nod.

……

[Ding! Martial skill "Blood Frenzy" discovered. Do you wish to learn it?]

'It actually works!'

Yaro looked at the old parchment scroll in his hand with surprise. He didn't rush to reject the option in his mind. He carefully untied the rotten and blackened hemp rope and carefully opened the parchment scroll, which looked as if it had been buried underground for thousands of years.

Bevan explained from the side, "Teacher Yaro, this is the original of our family's secret technique. There are several other copies in the secret compartment of the study, but they have all been abridged to some extent. Only this one has the most complete information."

It's true what they say: you can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family

Yaro silently complained to himself, then turned his attention to the text on the old parchment scroll.
