/Learned Secret Arts/

? Dance of The Celestial Serpent (Moderate Level)

? Hundred Slice Cage (Expert Level)

[Choose a Secret Art to improve it!]

Once the words manifested before his line of sight, Khal didn\'t hesitate and chose the Hundred Slice Cage.

Swish!

~Current Form~

/Hundred Slice Cage/

? Level: Expert

? Description:?A powerful Art capable of creating motionless wind blades after the first swing and explode them after the second one.

<Only functional with fan-type weapons!>

~Improved Form~

/Ghost Slice/

? Level: Expert

? Description: A powerful Art capable of creating invisible wind blades after the first swing and explode them after the second one.

<Only functional with fan-type weapons!>

[5,000 Body Essence is required!]

\'I have quite an amount of Body Essence so let\'s choose this.\'

[It\'s indeed a good choice.]

Nova\'s voice sounded in his head before Khal felt as a small portion of his Body Essence flowed into his bracelet while something inside him changed.

[There you go. Your Art had been modified successfully.]

Nova said to Khal, her voice filled with satisfaction akin to a kid who has eaten her best food and felt satisfied after a long time!

Khal felt kind of surprised, but when he recalled that Nova was evolving every time she consumed his Body Essence he just shook his head and glanced at the Secret Arts he can further improve.

? Dance of The Celestial Serpent (Moderate Level)

? Ghost Slice (Expert Level)

? Jade Tombstone (Cultivator Level)

Khal raised a brow when he discovered his Ghost Slice can be further enhanced this quickly selected it to see what it will become and how much Body Essence he has needed.

~Improved Form~

/Phantom Death/

? Level: Cultivator

? Description: A powerful Art capable of creating invisible wind blades after the first swing that tracks enemies and explode when in a one-meter radius!

<Only functional with fan-type weapons!>

<Only functional with four opened Essence Path!>

[50,000 Body Essence is required!]

"!?"

The improved version of the Ghost Slice was indeed terrifying, but the most shocking aspect was not its tracking ability but the 50,000 Essence that was needed!

Even though he could easily collect that much under a bit more than a month, 50,000 units of Body Essence was still considered an insanely huge amount that could make him invincible even among powerful experts much less those on the same Stage as him!

\'Unfortunately, that is still far away so let\'s see what the rest can become after improvement.\' thought Khal before inspecting Phantom Death for a bit more and selecting his remaining two Secret Arts.

~Current Form~

/Jade Tombstone/

? Level: Cultivator

? Description: An Art created to oversee everything in its territory, even from hundreds of thousands of miles far!

~Improved Form~

/Jade Garden/

? Level: Cultivator

? Description: An Art capable of creating a special territory that is supervised even from hundreds of miles away together with a unique law that everyone needs and must obey!

<Only functional with seven opened Essence Path!>

[50,000 Body Essence is required!]

\'Unique law? What kind of law is it talking about?\' Khal pondered for a while, but as no answer came, not even from Nova, he just shrugged and chose his final and most useful Secret Art, his Dance of The Celestial Serpent!

~Current Form~

/Dance of The Celestial Serpent/

? Level: Moderate

? Description: A never-seen unique Art.

~Improved Form~

/Celestial Serpent /

? Level: Realm

? Description: A special Art created to imitate every type of Movement technique by a single glance!

<Only functional with twenty-four opened Essence Paths!>

[1,000,000 Body Essence is required!]

"Pfft!!"

Khal almost chocked on his own saliva when he saw the description and the amount of Body Essence of his third Secret Art.

\'The fuck?\'

Khal felt stupified even after several minutes, hardly believing what he was seeing.

The legendary Realm Level Secret Art that no one has ever used as it was extremely powerful for a human body to withstand right now was before his very eyes, showing the unbelievable possibility he will be able to use it once in the future!

"O-one million? Isn\'t that a bit too... Much?" Khal was now really stupified as for him one million units of Body Essence was still too much.

If a mere ten thousand was able to make him kill a Seventh Stage Cultivator by a mere slap, what would happen with one million units? Would he eradicate cities by a single seeing of his hand? Just the thought alone made Khal feel a shiver sweep through his body because of a mixture of excitement and fear.

"What are you staring at so much?"

Suddenly, Liza\'s voice sounded in his ear, snapping Khal back to reality right away.

"Nothing, I was just pondering that\'s all," Khal said to Liza, his gaze already shifted from the words that gradually vanished from his sight.

Liza hearing this only raised a brow, but as she was already used to this since Khal did this almost every day, she just sighed and said, "Anyways, can you help me? I seem to find a great Mission, but I am not confident enough to do it alone so I hoped if you can help me."

"A Mission?" asked Khal as he could remember he too has done a few missions in the past, but all of them very relatively easy.

Yet, Liza who could be considered a top Cultivator on her Stage said she wanted to do a Mission but was not confident enough if she can do it thus needed help... It somewhat piqued his interest.

"Tell me more about it," Khal said to Liza, curious to see the Mission Liza has accepted.

"Sure, take a look," Liza said after a nod and showed him her badge which already showcased the task for Khal.
