Reincarnation Of A Swordsman: The Omni Mage Chapter 203 More Martial Techniques (1)

With the system's reward of over 500 skill points, Kyle had already made up his mind to learn new martial techniques. Air steps had helped Kyle understand the value of martial techniques and he knew how much good it will do to him to learn another.

He had planned on buying five techniques originally, but seeing Riya's performance in the weapon training examination had made him to respect her talent, besides, he saw no harm in being generous as she would be benefiting a great deal from a technique.

The pain of spending 20% of his points on soone else had vanished when he used [Inspect] on the technique. At that mont, he knew that he had made the right decision.

[Martial Technique Na: Phantom Arc Mastery]

[Tier: Basic]

[Difficulty: Extre (Requires thousands of hours of training and precise muscle control)]

[Energy Requirent: None (Purely technique-based)] -

[Technique description: Phantom Arc Mastery is a legendary archery technique developed through years of practice and honed reflexes. It enables the practitioner to control the trajectory of their arrows with unmatched precision, allowing for feats such as curving shots, guiding multiple arrows simultaneously, and dynamically adapting mid-flight.

While it requires no mana, its mastery demands intense dedication and a deep understanding of body chanics and physics.]

'The technique is truly ant for her,' Kyle thought. Even though he felt sad parting with sothing so valuable. But the look in Riya's had erased all doubts.

'She's going to master it,' he thought with a small smile. 'No regrets.'

His gaze shifted back to the books on the bed. Each one represented a path, a choice he'd made during his visit to the Contribution Hall.

Kyle had originally planned on getting more techniques from the Wind Chasers. He had already tried asking Dan for another technique, but the instructor refused to give him until he returned the forr.

At that mont, Kyle had realized that the technique had disappeared after he had learned it thorough the system. Kyle was surprised at the revelation because the book he used to learn the Chaos elent didn't dissappear after he was done, but there was a possibility that he hadn't learnt it as a result of the system.

From what he could recall, the cost was 0 skill points, which ant that it was free. The book served more as a portal to et Azagrut instead.

'I have to be more careful onwards,' Kyle thought to himself after being reminded of the downside. Despite it being a bane, it was one Kyle could easily accommodate for such a powerful feature.

He had originally decided to learn techniques from one school, but his ability to learn through skill points had given him another idea.

There was no harm in learning from different schools. While it was advised for martial practitioners to stick to a school, because mastering a single technique would significantly help one to master another from the sa school; those limitations didn't affect Kyle in the slightest.

His system offered him a unique advantage — the ability to comprehend techniques almost instantaneously. That freedom had allowed him to explore beyond the conventional.

"It doesn't matter how easy it would be for to learn a Wind Chasers technique when I won't be doing the actual learning," Kyle muttered with a mischievous smile.

But even so, there were schools Kyle still couldn't bring himself to consider. Iron Earth, with its defensive and grounded approach, felt too constraining.

Its techniques were robust, built for fortification and endurance, but they didn't align with Kyle's aggressive, risk-taking style. Besides, he had the Undying trait that already gave him the leeway to shrug off dangerous attacks and Kyle even suspected that he hadn't even used it to its full potential, as he had barely faced any life threatening attacks.

Serene Wave was another school he dismissed. Its focus on defensive movents and flowing techniques felt too… asured, too restrained. Kyle preferred unpredictability, the chaos of combat where swift, decisive action could turn the tide. Serene Wave's thods, while elegant, didn't suit his temperant or fighting philosophy.

That left him with two schools: Wind Chasers and Radiant Inferno. Wind Chasers had initially caught his eye for its movent techniques, offering unparalleled agility and adaptability in combat. But as he delved deeper, he realized it wasn't just about footwork. Like the technique he had handed Riya, the school dealt with movent of other things, attack even, combining speed and precision in ways that resonated with his fighting style.

Radiant Inferno, on the other hand, was a school of pure impact. Its techniques were raw, destructive, and unapologetically direct. They weren't about finesse or subtlety; they were about obliterating the opposition with overwhelming force. For soone like Kyle, who relished the thrill of decisive strikes, Radiant Inferno's thods felt like an extension of his will.

'Movent and impact,' he thought, his fingers brushing the cover of one of the books. 'That's what I need.'

His choices reflected that balance. Two techniques from Wind Chasers, one focusing on footwork and another on katana movents, and two from Radiant Inferno, both designed to amplify his offensive capabilities. Together, they ford a set that complented his strengths while adding layers to his combat repertoire.

Kyle smirked as he activated his system's [Inspect] ability, ready to uncover the secrets these techniques held.

[Martial Technique Na: Silent Steps]

[Tier: Basic]

[Difficulty: Extre (Requires enhanced spatial awareness and precision)]

[Energy Requirent: None (Purely technique-based)]

[Description: A footwork technique that allows the practitioner to move without sound, masking their presence and making it nearly impossible for opponents to track them. Silent Steps also reduces vibrations, enabling seamless traversal across unstable or fragile surfaces.]

As a combat expert, Kyle knew the value of this technique, it would be more deadly in the hands of those with invisibility skills... like Void. This was exactly what he had been trying to teach the little dragon. Mastery over this technique plus an invisibility skill would turn one into a perfect stealth ninja.

His eyes shone as the thought that he'll learn it soon surfaced on his mind. Directing his eyes to the next book, he used his improved [Inspect] on it.

'Inspect!'

[Martial Technique Na: Gale Rend]
