Kenny was surprised, he was happy as well, now he just had to focus on the movements and the If anyone else got to know that Kenny already mastered level 1 then they would look at him like a monster, something like this was unheard of, people usually spent years just understanding the wind
Kenny knew this so he decided to keep it a secret as a stealthy knife is more dangerous than an open sword, Kenny began practicing his foot work and found that he would be able to master it within a year at most
But suddenly Kenny had a thought, 'if all wind skills have the same 1st level as understanding the wind, wouldn't that mean all the other element skills also needed such a requirement? If that's the case then I have a major understanding about the basic elements like fire, water, earth, light, etc as I have my knowledge from my previous life'
'what's more I even know the relationship between the elements and how they react with each other so I can control different elements together better than most people'
With this thought he came up with the plan to master as much 1st level elements he could, just spending a couple hours with manuals each day was good enough to learn it after a few days, as for the manuals, his father's private library had a lot of collections so "borrowing" them from time to time wasn't a big deal
Like this another year went by when he came to his father to tell him he had mastered the first 2 levels of the Vayu breeze skill, his father was surprised, if would usually take a couple years to fully comprehend the 2 levels but he knew his son was gifted so he didn't think much about it
He said to his son "good you always surpass my expectations, from today you will learn martial arts from out guard captain's son Vance"
Kenny looked confused, John saw this and said with a smile "don't underestimate him son he started training martial arts when he was 10 and is also a cultivator at the 1st level whereas you're still 6, he's also your personal bodyguard so it's better for you to get to know him too"
Kenny nodded and said "yes father, it's just that I haven't really met anyone new in a while so I was surprised"
John said "that's exactly why you get to spar with the guards, if you're confident go challenge the guards when you can too"
Kenny said "sure father, when the time comes" truth be told he didn't like to expose his strength to outsiders but he wasn't going to say that to his father
John nodded and handed him a manual with the title "lion's claw combat skill"
Kenny looked at it with expectant eyes, john explained to him "there was once a mythical being called Narasimha, who was half lion and half man, he had the power to cleave mountains, split rivers with his hands alone and with his single roar all the animals and magic beasts would bow their heads to him, and hence forth it was spread the lions were the king of the jungle"
"what you have here is just a fraction of his strength, a combat skill where you are as majestic as a lion and just as aggressive, this is the still that allowed us to get to the platform we are on now, our
legacy and now it is passed down to you now, learn it well and come on top" his chest was puffed up and felt so proud while explaining the skill to his son
Kenny looked through the book and was happy as this type of fighting as he could make a statement with his fights and dominate the opponent, it made sense
Kenny said "father, I promise to work hard in order to not bring shame to the family, this skill will be of great help for me"
His father said "of course it will, now go practice with Vance" and left
Kenny left to go beyond the wall in his backyard where the place was specially appointed for the guards, some saw that Kenny was coming over and bowed to him, some started to whisper to each other about Kenny
"I've heard that young master here is a prodigy and there were many rumours about him while he was still a year old"
"I heard he's been practicing he's been practicing movement skills by himself since young he was 5"
"hmph, he's just a kid not even 10 years what's the point of this training"
"I bet he's just been fooling around with the maids while they spread good rumours about him"
Then a young man, with black hair and blue eyes walked forward, he had well defined muscles but had a hard look in his eyes when he said "nice to meet you young master, I'm Vance"
