YM778.TV Chapter 23: Prepartions
He went on, reading the next book to understand the difference between the two levels.
The book contained the information related to the transformation from peak level to the next step, level two of ki warrior.
Progress 100% [Peak Level One]
"The difference in level from one to two is not classified by a distinct benchmark. Once a warrior is able to reach physical strength capable of easily lifting close to hundred kilograms, he is considered to have stepped into level two."
"The difference is mostly calculated by the amount of ki, the physical strength and the basic utilisation of ki technique."
The measurement was not very accurate.
The level two was the beginning of learning and manipulating ki to perform techniques.
The books were not actually that thick and were pretty easy to read, he completed two of them within twenty minutes.
The content inside majorly covered the information on different breathing techniques, their pros and cons and some of the comparisons among them.
The techniques were majorly same with little difference here and there which added an extra effect, a perk of a kind to the warrior.
Terias did not give it much thought as he moved to read the book from level two and level three sections.
After a few hours of reading and skimming through other books, he was satisfied with the amount of information he collected.
Although the development of techniques and understanding of ki in the world disappointed him to a great extent.
To sum it up, the level two warriors had enough ki to learn ki manipulation and perform ki techniques.
The excess of ki was perhaps the only important difference between the level one and level two.
The techniques were not really grandeur. They were very basic and revolved around basic body reinforcements and such.
Only at level three, the warriors could project their ki outside of the body and use it like a spell of magic.
To reach level three, a person at level two had to amass a great amount of ki. The physique would get strengthened by the ki on its own unlike at level one, there was no need to train physically.
Once the warrior is able to exert ki outside the body, they are said to have successfully entered the level three.
The combat of level three warrior was most interesting as the warriors on this level used weapon made of ki to fight.
Most of them used sword and sabers, rarely anyone used a long distance weapon like an arrow.
Although the efficient method of combat was to use weapon with a coating of ki on them.
The swords could have a grinder like effect on its edges and the arrows could be made to rotate faster, with the adequate technique.
There were sufficient techniques inside the library but he did not bother checking them as of yet.
Now that his basic knowledge has consolidated enough, he was eager to give the techniques with physical constructs a try, to possibly make a armour for himself.
Rina was still there by his side. His butler John also arrived after a while, both of them stood silent.
They kept waiting for the Viscount to finish whatever he was reading.
As it did not seem like he would be leaving anytime soon, with the stack of book he kept skimming through and replacing.
"I don\'t think reading anymore of these books are worthwhile, I should start going through the techniques."
"The artifacts are not really something I want to create, but I would love to see what artifacts have been made and their effects and perhaps look into them at last."
"As for the other two bookshelves, I would give one of the books in them a try after deciding if I have got enough time." He decided after he felt his knowledge was sufficient for the three levels of ki.
He had great expectations from the technique section, since the categorisation of warriors depends mostly on the difficulty of techniques they could use. It could also help him to finally quantify the amount of ki he possessed.
With great expectations he browsed through books in the technique section.
He selected many books as their title seemed interesting and effective for the techniques he wanted to create and use in the future.
Ki shield
Ki skin
Ki projectile
Ki coating
He selected these four first, because all the techniques in some ways had a connection to his desire to make an armour of ki for himself.
The ki projectile book though had his attention because of the skill Viscount had left behind, Sense.
The skill was a speciality of the Viscount, he developed it by himself and had made great advancements to it.
Although the projectile had only one similarity with the skill Sense, that was the control of ki outside the body.
Terias did not find any other book, which hinted upon this feature from its title. He wished to get the basics down and even the mastery of projectile technique down to flexibily use Sense and understand it\'s various application.
The technique Sense was a wonder as it not only sensed the area which he could not see but it also gave him the feedback without alerting the people it was used on.
He used it to spy on the scene inside the room of his brother\'s daughter in law, who was very openly indulging with a servant of hers.
If he could decode the application of ki used in sense, he would get the same level of ki manipulation as the Viscount and that combined with his unique ideas from other world would make him a superpower.
He could recreate a rasengan and use it as a special killer technique and even make a downtrodden version of Susano to shield his body.
The possibilities were endless and he only needed to have a good enough ki manipulation mastery.
As for his insatiable lust? He had already got some action and would be getting more in the coming days.
The next week was the beginning of the time he had to distract the Earl\'s wife and for that he was eager to finish his books.
