Baron Cullen

call…

After letting out a long sigh, Karen slowly opened her eyes.

The faint bloodshot glint in his eyes vanished in an instant.

At this moment, the hall was completely silent.

All eyes were on him, filled with shock and disbelief.

Lamont took a deep breath, stepped forward, and patted Karen on the shoulder, his voice filled with barely concealed surprise: "Kid, how are you feeling?"

"I feel full of energy, and I also feel much lighter," Karen replied truthfully, carefully sensing the changes in her body.

"You little rascal..." Lamont walked around Karen, clicking his tongue in amazement, "Not only did you only meditate for fifteen minutes, but you actually achieved awakening right after the meditation ended!"

This is simply unheard of!

Upon hearing these words, Karen's heart stirred.

Judging from everyone's reactions, it seems that he is the only one in this situation.

He recalled the strange occurrence of the mysterious runes deep within his right eye during meditation, the soul-piercing roar, and the bizarre special abilities he had gained.

It seems that, just as he guessed, the mysterious runes not only gave him the ability to analyze all things, but also helped him in the realm of the extraordinary.

Bringing his thoughts back, Karen continued, echoing Lamont's earlier words, "Perhaps it's because my body is highly adapted to the warrior class."

Lamont nodded thoughtfully: "That's a good thing! It means you can go further on the path of a warrior in the future!"

This wasn't just him saying something polite; it was his true feeling.

He recalled that when he first took the Warrior's Elixir, he spent almost a whole day just meditating.

Not to mention awakening; it took him a whole month to succeed after his meditation ended.

In comparison, Karen's speed can no longer be described as fast.

He's absolutely freakish!

Karen appeared very humble: "Vice Commander Lamont, you flatter me. I only want to become a true superhuman, and then strive to become stronger so that I have the power to protect myself and my family."

Lamont nodded, his admiration deepening.

"Alright, no matter what, now that you've successfully awakened, you're officially a member of our battle group." He straightened his expression and continued, "Next, I'll have someone teach you a few basic Tier 1 combat skills."

The key to a warrior's strength lies in constantly honing their combat skills and techniques, as this is the only way to accelerate the absorption of the secret medicine within their body.

Once the secret medicine within your body is fully absorbed, your strength will reach the peak of the first tier, and you will be qualified to advance to the second tier.

With that, Lamont summoned a Tier 3 warrior named Hadro and put him in charge of teaching Karen.

Harold was a burly, dark-skinned man with a kind face. Although his strength was one level lower than Lamont, who was the vice-captain, he was still considered a master among the superhumans of the City of No Breath.

Newcomers who join the battle group are usually taught by some Tier 2 warriors.

This shows how much Lamont values ​​Cullen.

"Harold, this is Karen Waller, a baron of the Waller family, and a new member who joined us today," Lamont introduced.

Upon hearing this, Harold's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his dark face: "Oh! So you're that Waller kid from Judgment Square yesterday!"

You're truly astonishing! To risk your life to save your loved ones and the honor of your family! I have the utmost respect for you!

Karen smiled faintly and replied politely, "Mr. Harold, you flatter me. It is what I should do as a son, brother, and member of the Waller family."

I can see that you in the warband are the true heroes. I believe that when your loved ones suffer or your families are wiped out, you will also stand up for them, and you will certainly do even better than I have.”

"Hey! You, Baron, are to my liking!" Harold's eyes lit up, and he burst into hearty laughter.

Lamont, who was standing to the side, was naturally pleased to see Karen become so close to the members of the warband so quickly, and said with a smile, "Alright, Harold, take Karen to the training ground and teach him our three basic Tier 1 combat skills."

Harold was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Now? Didn't Baron Cullen just take the secret potion? Shouldn't we wait until he successfully awakens his combat skills?"

Upon hearing this, Lamont revealed a mysterious smile: "Yes, you're right."

So what I mean is that Karen has successfully awakened; he's now a genuine Tier 1 warrior.

"Wh...what?!" Harold exclaimed, his dark face filled with shock and disbelief. "How did he awaken so quickly?!"

I remember you, Vice Commander Lamont, said before that it seemed to have taken you a whole month to awaken, right?

Even the guild leader seemed to have taken half a month to successfully awaken.

This kid just took the secret medicine today and already awakened?!

A series of questions vividly revealed Harold's shock, even more intense than Lamont's reaction earlier.

Lamont patted Harold on the shoulder with an expression that said, "You don't need to say anything more," and said, "Karen is undoubtedly a genius in the path of warriors."

"Alright, hurry up and take him over to give him some pointers. No matter how outstanding his talent is, mastering a combat skill isn't easy; it takes time and effort."

Harold then led Karen to a corner of the training field.

There are several thick wooden stakes for practice, and a row of racks displaying various weapons.

Harold casually drew a longsword from the weapon rack, weighed it in his hand, and said to Karen, "Remember, combat skills aren't about brute force; it's about combining power techniques with the circulation of your internal extraordinary elements. Watch carefully!"

He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart and his body slumped slightly.

The next moment, he suddenly let out a low shout, took a half step forward with his right foot, and shifted his body weight forward.

At the same time, he suddenly exerted force from his waist, causing his upper body and right arm holding the sword to rotate rapidly around his left foot for almost a full circle!

During this process, the muscles in his arms were completely tense. The long sword was not swung lightly in his hand, but rather, with the twisting of his waist and the momentum of his whole body, he drew a heavy and continuous arc-shaped slash.

Hey!

The first sword strike landed heavily on the wooden stake in front of Harold, producing a dull thud.

However, his offensive was not over yet.

Harold used the reaction force from his first slash and the momentum of his rotation to pull back with his waist.

He then unleashed a second, even faster sword strike!

Clang!

After another dull thud, the second sword struck almost exactly where the first sword had landed, and with even greater force.

Harold stopped and looked at Karen: "Did you see that clearly? This first-tier combat skill is called 'Spinning Slash'."

The key to this combat technique lies in using the power of the waist and abdomen to drive the whole body, rather than just using the strength of the arms.

Then, he circulated the extraordinary elements within his body, using the rotation and the momentum of the first sword to make the second sword faster and more powerful.

The two consecutive strikes were like waves, one after another!

After saying that, he added, "By the way, since you've just awakened, don't rush to incorporate too many extraordinary elements into your combat skills."

Right now, you should focus on practicing the movements and feeling the power generation. Once you're proficient, you can try incorporating elements to unleash the true power of your combat techniques.

Even so, he was also having doubts.

Although this combat technique is only the most basic first level and looks simple, it is not so easy for a newcomer who has just successfully awakened to master the connection between the extraordinary elements in his body and the two-stage slash.

For example, when he first learned this combat skill, he practiced hard for more than a month before he could perform it properly.

But then Harold looked up and saw that Karen had already walked to the weapon rack and also chosen a longsword.

He then went to another stake, closed his eyes, and remained still.

Harold watched with interest, finding the young Baron Waller somewhat intriguing.

But he clearly didn't understand what would happen next.
