Chapter 915 - Learning Growth Skill

"Then, the guidance you're talking about is how to train this skill?" Theo asked.

"Yes." He acknowledged it without hesitation.

"But I don't think I can survive underwater. It's not like I can breathe underwater." Theo shook his head with a serious expression. "I mean, I can change into a fish, but will that even work?"

"You have one big advantage that you can utilize to train your physique without training like me. You don't need to throw yourself into the sea."

"Then, how?"

"It will depend on your skill."

When he heard that answer, Theo fell into deep thought. It could be said those words enlightened him.

"I see. I am the only person in the world who has gained the backing of four Authority Level figures. Is that what you're implying?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. If I was your only guide, I could only teach you Endurance as well as a few body skills. But it's different since we four are behind you. Others can fill the things I lack." The serpent admitted it without hesitation and continued, "Take a look at your Blink and Telekinesis. They're the basis for Control.

"There is Clone which helps you to this day. The Death Avatar is related to your Awareness. This will give you all the options you want. Of course, there is one big requirement to receive our help. You need to be extremely talented, especially in all directions.

"We don't want to create a master of none. We want you to be the master of all. There are so many talents in the world: Talent for Sword, Talent for Spear, Talent for Magic, or even Talent for Cooking. But none of them suits us.

"Only your Talent for Learning is the perfect match for us. Without this level of talent, your lifespan won't be enough to learn everything. That's also why we dare to stop your Ancestor from giving you his blessing.

"Your Talent helps you learn at least ten times faster than a talented person.. Remember, a talented person, not a normal person. It's true that you will be useless without anyone helping you learn stuff, but there are so many people who can give you some insight now.

"We place our hope on you and give you the necessary power to connect all our power. Father gave you his trick and illusion along with the Clone and Metamorphosis.

"Sister gave you Death Avatar and Awareness. Brother taught you Control, Telekinesis, and Blink. And I.. will teach you my Body Skill and Endurance.

"How to train it without throwing you into the sea? Simple. As I said earlier, you need Magic Power and Pressure to train this body skill. As long as you fulfill these two conditions, you're good to go.

"Before explaining further, I need to tell you about my Body Skill first. This skill has growth regeneration. I think your evolution theory is good to become an illustration of my power.

"A giraffe has a long neck because they need to reach for the leaves on a tall tree. They need to keep raising their heads even if it hurts to reach those leaves or they die.

"This is what you're going to do. You will use the pressure to break your body apart, and the regeneration will help you heal that body and strengthen it. Your body will gradually become stronger this way." The serpent finished his long explanation and took a small break while giving Theo some time to think.

As expected, Theo immediately raised a question. "If that's all, won't the humans already learn this and become stronger in general?"

"What they lack is the Magic Power."

"But this place was discovered a few hundred years ago."

"I'm not talking about that Magic Power. It's my unique circulation of Magic Power." The snake explained. "I'm sure that if you learn Endurance from other humans, you will learn to circulate your Magic Power while training your body to the extreme. It'll gradually increase your body's strength."

"That's kinda true.."

"Yes. I'll teach you how to create a hard snake skin that could literally protect your body. I think I should tell you this. My Authority is Hardness! Without a divine weapon, it's hard to even injure me."

Theo gulped down as his heart became excited. "I'm curious; how about Fenrir?"

"He has Beast Authority. He's basically the ruler of the beasts. Though, you have seen how he behaves.. Despite becoming their leader, he always acts alone. That's why he's a loner even until now."

"Ahaha.. I have a feeling you two will fight if he hears you."

"You understand him well. He pushed all those beasts away because of his personality."

"I have learned." Theo chuckled.

"Anyway, let's move on to how you should train."

Theo nodded and calmed down, listening to him attentively.

"First. You can use your Telekinesis to create the pressure."

"As expected." Theo agreed with him as this was also his plan if the serpent didn't tell him anything. Telekinesis was perfect for generating pressure after all.

"Then, use your Clone and Illusion to create a small cylinder that can increase the pressure."

"Right. I have been using this to generate more pressure to pin my enemy to the ground."

"Indeed. Then, you can use the Death Avatar to reinforce the barrier from your Illusion."

"With my Sense of Touch, right?"

"Yes. Start from a low level first because you need to strengthen your skin, bones, and organs gradually."

"Noted." Theo thought for a moment and asked, "Can I use something else to improve the effectiveness?"

"Yes. You can release more Magic Power alongside your Telekinesis, use your Ascension Step, or utilize your Thunderclap Fist. As long as it generates more pressure for you, it's good." The serpent laid down all Theo's plans as though he could read his mind.

"Still, I need to keep using the Supernatural Snake Body Skill, right?"

"Indeed. Don't worry about the Magic Power consumption. It'll gradually increase too. The harder your skin is, the more Magic Power you will use. Your skin will gradually harden, and you will also acquire natural regeneration."

"Understood. If I only learn from you, I might indeed need to throw myself into the sea."

"Yes. With the others' help, you can do it anywhere you like."

"Thank you so much." Theo lowered his head, thanking him for teaching him this skill. To think he could even use the skill as the basis of his Endurance.

"That's all I want to say. I only need three minutes to teach you how to circulate your Magic Power, so we still have five minutes. What do you want to ask?"

Theo looked down and contemplated for a moment.

An idea appeared in his mind as he raised his hand.. "Actually, I have one question."
