Chapter 26
The residents of Twin Dragons’ Rest spent half an hour with their former leader before leaving him alone. This was when Hu Feng finally saw a chance to introduce Ji Ye.
“Chief, this here is—”
Lu Zhishen interrupted the old man by lifting a large hand, before bowing his head to Ji Ye.
“There’s no need. Lu Da at your service, master.”
Ji Ye smiled back. “I’m really glad to finally see you, Chief Lu.”
Ji Ye was having a hard time keeping his expression plain despite his inner excitement. As the appointed clan leader and the “Chosen One”, he couldn’t appear to be too careless in front of everyone.
Hu Feng sighed in relief, after seeing Lu Zhishen accepting the outcome.
“Master, and chief, I’ll tell our men to prepare a welcome feast.”
The old man led the others away, to allow the important leaders to speak in private.
“That is because you have yet to learn how to unleash your inner strength properly, master. According to what you say, that bull monster had to be born with such capabilities so it could fully wield its potential,” said Lu Zhishen, after listening to Ji Ye’s query. “I do know an art suitable for you. It’s called the Primordial Chaos Art. I learned it when I was still a dedicated monk at Mount Wutai. With this art, you will be able to channel your inner power and concentrate it in a single spot for easier control.”

As Lu Zhishen spoke, Ji Ye received an alert in his mind.
[Lu Da is now transferring a martial art to you. Do you wish to spend Honor points and convert it to a usable skill?]

“Yes.” Ji Ye accepted without a second thought.
It was possible for players to directly make use of what they had mastered in reality, without having it as a “skill”; Ji Ye’s crossbow technique was such a case, although learning something as a skill and using EXP points to level it up would mean to rapidly becoming proficient without spending much time.
Furthermore, it was also because the ‘Primordial Chaos Art’ was a martial arts technique that focused on internal energy, it involved a bunch of acupuncture points, meridians, and other professional terms. Even though Ji Ye was a wide-read genius, it was quite difficult to quickly understand and memorize.
At this point, Ji Ye had something to thank. Although the humans in the Land of Inheritance had ancient lines of thoughts, they could understand and use modern terms when speaking.Otherwise, making themselves understood would be quite a big problem to tackle, let alone cooperating.
[You lost Honor points…]
Finishing the settlement protection quest granted Ji Ye 150 Honor points, 10 of which were deducted as the cost for studying the new art.
[Primordial Chaos Art]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Superior]
[You have successfully learned how to command your internal energy, which will in turn reinforce your various actions.]
Most importantly, it was an inner energy skill that he had been looking forward to!
