As Rhine whispered in his mind, information on the system screen began to refresh rapidly.

【…】

When dense words appeared in the reward column, strange changes also occurred to Rhine.

The most obvious thing was that countless experiences in using weapons flooded into his mind out of thin air and were quickly transformed into muscle memory.

It was as if he was really a martial arts genius who had practiced hard day and night for many years.

Rhine is proficient in fists, swords, sticks, bows and crossbows at this moment.

"Is this the martial proficiency you got from Hermione?"

Rhine took a deep breath, grasped the heavy staff, and suddenly smashed it out.

The sharp wind from the stick filled the study room in an instant, and a faint golden-copper color flowed on his skin.

At this moment, Rhine felt like there was a giant monster from the magical world in front of him, and he could knock it down with one stick at a time.

Do you understand the power of having iron skin and bones combined with skilled martial arts?
As Rhine was experiencing the reward of his martial arts proficiency, a hint of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

The martial arts skills he had just acquired seemed to be perfecting unconsciously through his practice.

"No, that's not right. This isn't just about martial arts proficiency; it's also about the Seven Apertures Heart."

Rhine looked confused and uncertain.

He thought of the description in Fengshen Feng about the exquisite heart with seven orifices, which means that it is knowledgeable about all things, able to understand their essence, and extremely intelligent.

If a person with a keen mind becomes a civil servant, he will definitely be a great talent who can support the country.

Uncle Wang Bigan was included in the list of gods after his death, and his title of god was exactly - Wenquxing!

If such talent is used to practice martial arts, it will be an extraordinary talent.

However, this was not reflected in the original book, but at this moment, Rhine felt it for real.

The martial arts acquired from Hermione were judged by the system to be nothing more than the martial arts of young Deng Chanyu. Although skilled, they were only quite good among mortals.

That was incomparable to Hagrid's natural talent for stick handling. He was just naturally gifted and could swing the stick at will, a level that even young Deng Chanyu, after decades of hard practice, could not match.

But now, with the blessing of the Seven-Aperture Heart, the martial arts acquired by Rhine are moving towards a higher level.

Perhaps many years from now, Rhine's martial arts skills will be able to reach a level comparable to the divine talent of stick fighting.

But after a moment, Rhine shook his head and stopped practicing martial arts.

"There's a ready-made talent for stick fighting, why would you bother to train so hard when you can get it for free?"

Rather than training his martial arts to a level that could rival immortals and gods, Rhine was more looking forward to whether his divine talent in stick fighting could be enhanced by the Seven Apertures Heart.

It’s a different era now, the system is here, who still wants to practice hard? The right way is to make more connections and cheat!
Then, Rhine gently stroked the staff in his hand, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

Previously, he thought that the staff was a whole piece and well-made, but now, just by rubbing it lightly, he could feel that some of the lines were of inconsistent age, which should be the repairs made by the Ollivander family.

There are also some missing metals on some of the lines, which have not been filled yet. It seems that this is the defect that Ollivander mentioned.

Rhine licked his tongue. After this feeling emerged, he seemed to have a greater affinity with the staff in his hand.

It's not just the staff. For example, the pen on his desk that is made of special material. Rhine can feel its general composition just by rubbing it in his hand.

If he were given some raw materials and a furnace, Rhine felt that he could replicate the same pen.

Not only that, even with gold galleons, Rhine had similar feelings.

Given time and raw materials, he can work out the formula for gold galleons. Except for the anti-counterfeiting magic that cannot be added, everything else should be exactly the same!
"The talent for metallurgy and silver refining comes from the Primordial Weapon Refining Sect. It is indeed extraordinary."

"But I haven't come into contact with alchemy yet, so it's not very useful in this area. But in combat, I've got some unexpected surprises." Rhine can sense the composition and properties of any metal product that he has touched.

It's like a feeling of unity between man and device, as if you have been playing with it in your hands for a long time and are very familiar with it.

Combined with his skilled martial arts skills and the blessing of the Seven Apertures Heart, the effect achieved is...

Rhine waved his hand casually, and the gold galleons in his hand flew out, accurately hitting the oil painting of Lincoln's assassination hanging on the wall, which gave Lincoln an idea.

"Weapon Master?"

"Wizards don't die with bare hands?"

A feeling of surprise surged in my heart.

The chain reaction between his exquisite mind, metallurgy and silver refining, and his skilled martial arts undoubtedly greatly improved Rhine's actual combat capability.

This also opened up a new idea for him - the mutual coordination between talents.

"The system has already reminded me that the Sun Essence and Moon Essence talent can be combined with the Wind and Dew Digestion talent to significantly enhance its effectiveness."

Rhine's eyes brightened as he looked at the gray owl he had bought home.

It is worth mentioning that Rhine named it Hermes, the messenger god in ancient Greek legend who crossed borders and delivered messages.

At this moment, Hermes, who was already extremely loyal to Rhine, obviously had a more intimate look in his eyes.

"The spirit beast affinity talent from the Beast Taming Sect..."

Rhine thought carefully.

"Besides that, I also have the mount mastery talent from Hermione, and oh yes, the wind control talent from Owl Roberts. Can these be combined?"

Then, an idea came to Rhine's mind.

Can an owl be used as a mount?
Hermes knew that one owl was definitely not enough to lift him up, but as long as there were enough of them, they would definitely have no problem bearing his weight. After all, owls were also birds of prey.

As for the bumps and gusts of wind during flight, they shouldn't be a problem with mount proficiency and wind control talent.

If this could be done, I could fly right now, and it wouldn't be under the control of the Ministry of Magic!

Because I didn't cast any magic during this process, no one can stop me!

Once this idea was born, it took root in Rhine's mind.

It was such a great feeling to ride Hagrid’s flying motorcycle before.

Flying is the ultimate dream of mankind. Now that we have the opportunity to realize it, we must give it a try.

However, as he looked at the environment near his mansion, he fell into deep thought.

This is a high-end mansion. Someone usually maintains the environment, so there are very few wild animals, let alone owls.

How to gather owls?

After thinking for a moment, Rhine's gaze fell on Hermes.

"Hermes, you are a male owl, right?"

"Ahem, Master needs your help with something."

Hermes looked at Rhine in a daze and nodded as if it was a matter of course.

"I will do whatever the master asks me to do."

Rhine smiled.

"That's good. You are worthy of being my most beloved owl."

"Then how about this? Now, pretend to be a female owl and fly out. Squeeze your throat and shout, 'We're offering a large sum of money for a child, free food and shelter.' Attract all the owls within a radius of dozens of miles to come here."
