It's not a technique, it's a natural ability I had awakened one day," Merry shrugged it off.
Wait, does it mean supernatural abilities exist in this world? Isn't it just cultivation?!
That was the implication of Merry's claim, and she'd only make it if she knew it was possible. Otherwise, she wouldn't make excuses that could be easily called out.
"Hm, and what else that natural ability can do?" Robert asked. It seemed like he believed her, but assuming they existed, it made sense. Inborn abilities could be used from youth, but cultivation techniques would require many years of training.
"Why should I tell you? Are you trying to kill me?" Merry squinted her eyes in suspicion. She was pretty good at pretending.
