Evelyn was startled.
She didn't expect the young man in front of her to be Rheanix.
Rheanix was a special title for someone like Xiao Ming, the one who awakened two classes.
"You are Rheanix?" Evelyn tried to hide her surprise.
"Rheanix? What is that?" Xiao Ming had no idea what Rheanix was because he had just got transmigrated into this world.
He tried to find information about Rheanix in his predecessor's memories, but he could not find it.
'My predecessor, you are really useless!'
He shouted in his head.
'I really want to know why I can't see all of my predecessor's memories. Is there something that trigger this?'
He just got transmigrated, so he needed information about this world so badly, or else it would be challenging for him to adapt.
"Rheanix is a special title for someone who awakens two classes." Evelyn gave an honest answer.
"Big sis, actually, I'm also an archer, but for some reason, I can't learn archer skills for now." Xiao Ming only needed to bind his System to someone who awakened Archer class, so he was not lying to her. "But I can do that in the future."
"You are Aeris?!" Evelyn almost had a heart attack after hearing Xiao Ming's words.
Everyone called people who awakened three classes as Aeris. It was difficult to meet Rheanix because only a few people could awaken two classes.
However, it was even harder to find Aeris because they were like the chosen ones.
If someone with the title Rheanix was fated to become king, then people with the title Aeris were destined to become emperor.
The reason was simple.
They could become archers, mages, and knights at the same time!
Even though Evelyn didn't explain what Aeris was, but Xiao Ming could guess based on her previous words.
"Big sister, forget about Rheanix and Aeris. I just want to hear your answer regarding my question. Are you willing to teach me magic?" Xiao Ming was not interested in Rheanix or Aeris because he only wanted to achieve his dream.
The Ruler!
Yes, his dream was to be the Ruler like his grandfather.
"Alright. I will teach you magic tomorrow." Evelyn agreed to teach him magic. "I want to sleep now."
A few minutes after Evelyn fell asleep, Xiao Ming decided to sleep.
-----
The following morning, Xiao Ming woke up early.
'She is still sleeping.'
He decided to practice martial arts because he did not want to wake Evelyn.
'I should practice my secret technique today.'
Even though he managed to kill Flame Chicken yesterday, but his movements and attacks weren't as fast as they should be.
The third secret technique should be much more deadly than what he performed yesterday.
Of course, Xiao Ming knew the reason why he could not bring out the power of the secret move to its full potential.
It was because his current body was too weak and slow!
'System, is the way to increase my level the same as in my previous life?'
He threw a question in his head.
[There are three ways to increase the level.]
'Three methods?'
He didn't expect that there would be three ways to increase his level.
[The first method is to train your body every day. The second way is to absorb the energy of heaven and earth directly, and the last method is to absorb the energy from the beast core.]
'Beast core?'
He knew what the beast core was because he could find information about it in his predecessor's memory.
The beast core was an item that dropped when a monster was killed. It could be said to be a kind of treasure chest concept.
'I see.'
Xiao Ming understood everything.
In his previous life, he used the first and second methods to get stronger because there was no beast core.
'The second and third methods are to absorb the energy and direct it to my awakening points, right?'
He wanted to make sure his guess was right.
[Host is right. Host only needs to absorb the energy and direct it to your awakening points.]
Xiao Ming nodded his head.
[However, it's better to absorb the energy from the beast core because it's easier than absorbing the energy of heaven and earth directly.]
'I think I will absorb the energy of heaven and earth for now because killing a magical beast is hard for the current me.'
He was still weak, so he decided to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
After all, he could lose his life if he fought magical beasts. His dream was to be the Ruler, so he did not want to die before achieving his dream.
'My grandpa is the Ruler, so I will also become the Ruler.'
Xiao Ming sat in a lotus position and began absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.
He absorbed the energy of heaven and earth and directed it into the awakening points in his legs because speed was the key to his secret technique.
His grandfather told him that speed was the most important thing for a knight like him.
Even if his opponent was stronger than him, he could still win the fight if he could slice his opponent's throat before they could react.
This was the reason why he should focus on increasing his speed first.
Like what the System said, it was hard to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, especially since his talent was not high.
Yes, talent also determined how quickly one absorbed the energy of heaven and earth.
The higher the talent, the faster and easier it was to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
*Sigh…
Xiao Ming sighed.
He could not switch to binding-partner mode because Evelyn's affection parameter was only fifty-three percent.
Xiao Ming opened his eyes.
'It's so hard. I only managed to absorb a bit of the energy of heaven and earth into my awakening points.'
He sighed again.
'However, I won't give up. After all, everyone would have become the Ruler if absorbing the energy of heaven and earth was easy.'
He shut his eyes and absorbed the energy of heaven and earth into his awakening points again.
*Ten minutes…Fifteen minutes…Twenty minutes…
It had been twenty minutes since he started absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, but his agility level did not increase.
'Maybe it's because my talent is so bad. That's why I can only absorb a little bit of the energy of heaven and earth.'
He decided to practice his secret move.
'Even though I can perform the secret techniques, but the speed of my attacks and movements are too slow. It's not as deadly as it should be.'
He decided to perform the first secret technique.
Mountain Splitter!
Yes, the name of the first secret move was Mountain Splitter.
*Slash…Slash…Slash…
Xiao Ming moved in a triquetra pattern.
He had to swing his sword four times in each move, so he had to swing twenty-four times in total.
'No. My movements and attacks are too slow! Faster, faster!'
He moved as fast as he could.
However, he could not move faster because his agility was only at level 8. He had to raise his agility if he wanted to move faster.
There was one reason why Xiao Ming did not stop practicing martial arts.
The System said he could also raise his level by training!
However, leveling up by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth was faster than training.
That was why the System suggested that he absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
At the same time, Evelyn woke up.
'Hmm? He is practicing martial arts?'
She sat up.
'It seems like he is a diligent young man.'
She did not expect to see him practice martial arts after waking up.
Xiao Ming instantly stopped practicing martial arts when he noticed Evelyn.
'Oh, she is already awake?!'
He walked towards her.
Like yesterday, they chatted again.
Even though Evelyn's affection parameter did not increase, Xiao Ming was still thrilled.
"Big sister, are you hungry?" Xiao Ming inquired.
Unlike yesterday, Evelyn did not lie this time. "Yes."
'I'm sure he will think I'm not hungry if I don't say yes. After all, he can't understand a woman's heart.'
She added in mind.
Xiao Ming rose to his feet and spoke, "Wait here. I will catch fish now. We will eat grilled fish for breakfast."
"Un." Evelyn nodded her head.
There was one reason why Xiao Ming did something like this.
He wanted to win her heart!
The location of the cave was next to the waterfall, so he could catch some fish immediately.
'Good! I managed to catch four big fish. This is enough.'
He smiled happily when he saw the fish in his hands.
'I should return now.'
He changed his mind when he caught sight of fruit.
'Hmm?'
The fruit was like an apple, and the color was also red. However, he believed it was not an apple because he knew what an apple tree looked like.
'System, analyze that fruit. Is it edible or not?'
He saw a delicious-looking fruit a few meters away from him.
[Ding! System is analyzing the fruit.]
At this moment, he hoped it was edible fruit.
[Ding! The name of the fruit is Juwi fruit. It's an edible fruit.]
Xiao Ming rushed toward the Juwi tree after hearing the System's notification.
At the same time, something bad was happening in the cave.
Ice Cheetah entered the cave!
Even though the Ice Cheetah was weak, but Evelyn was under the Winged Tiger's seal.
In other words, she was weaker than Ice Cheetah.
At this moment, Evelyn skimmed her surroundings, looking for something that could be used as a weapon.
'Why it has to be at a time like this?'
She could kill the Ice Cheetah as easily as turning a palm if she wasn't under Winged Tiger's seal.
The Ice Cheetah walked towards her slowly. Its eyes were locked on Evelyn as if the Ice Cheetah was checking her strength.
"Grrr." The Ice Cheetah showed its fang before finally rushing toward Evelyn.
