[System notice: An Earth Tier skill of the highest grade has been detected from your memory. The system recognized your skill proficiency in intermediate success. Martial arts (RENAME) has been added to the skill list.]

'What should I name you? Since this is another world, I should at least give you something that sounds like a martial skill. Hmm, I think this will do.'

'Its an Earth tier. I wonder about the other martial art practices...

But, I don't have much background about those. It's no use if it would just be recognized as a lower grade than what I have right now. I'll check them later when there's more time.

Hmm? Let's see how's Yue doing after teaching her the 12 defensive strikes. Since this sword skill has relations with fencing, it rather suits her so much. Now that she's learning the defense strikes, it looks graceful than I thought. I wonder how she'll look when she'll learn the 12 offensive strikes? Well, that's for later.

Anyway, I believe that teaching her the defensive strikes first is far better than starting with the attack strikes. Life is precious after all.'

After the bout between Yue and Bai, there was a shift in the hierarchy between the two. Since Bai has more knowledge than Yue, it was inevitable for the loser to be learning from the wise. It was not due to being subdued but Yue instead ask him to teach the skill. Long Bai didn't hesitate to teach her since it was for his companion's growth. Long Bai also thought that he might teach the other two later some skills if they'll ask.

An hour has already passed. Long Bai signaled Yue to have her rest since Ling Tian might be arriving sooner. Looking at Yue's complexion, rather than exhaustion, she radiated a joyful aura. It might be the satisfaction of learning something worthwhile.

"Brother Bai, this skill you taught me must be precious. Is it really alright for me to learn it?" Yue walked slowly at Bai's location.

Ling Bai has already thought about this situation when they'll ask about its origin. He could always say that its something his family encountered while traveling or something similar. It would not be unsuspecting due to his family's background but never did he know what the value of the skill would become in the future.

"It's fine. Just keep it a secret.

Look! Brother Ling Tian has just arrived."

Long Bai waved at Ling Tian who's approaching. At his hand was a dagger the size of a jungle knife. Compared to the weapon Ling Tian uses, the knife he brought was 0.25x smaller and has a simpler design.

Ling Tian presented the knife to Long Bai waiting for his reaction. On Long Bai's face, there was an expression telling everyone that he just received something precious. To Long Bai, anything sturdy in the hand would always be a force multiplier. As long as he is careful, the knife he received would always become handy in a lot of situations.

Long Bai took the knife and assessed it with his hands. Even with the small physique he had, there was no problem as his strength has already adjusted to it. Ling Tian and the rest watched Long Bai with amusement as he played with the knife. It was as if there was a show for displaying skills.

"Whoa! You look proficient with a knife. Brother Bai, do you perhaps know some martial skill?" Ling Tian looked at Long Bai intently. Knowing that he came from a merchant family, there's no doubt that he could also know a martial skill or two however he was just too young to be learning such. Even from his former status as a son of the family head's brother, accessing martial skill must require one to at least develop an essence core. Since he hasn't developed one yet, he could only watch the others train.

"I can teach you the skill. I already taught some moves to Yue. It is a self-defense martial art so it would be beneficial for us. As for Ah Mu, I can teach you something else later. We'll talk about this after subduing the cloud rats from the previous nest that we found. How does that sound, Brother Ling Tian?"

"If you're teaching us something precious, I can't help but feel grateful. I'll find a way to repay this kindness in the future. If there is something you need, don't hesitate to ask Brother Bai." Ling Tian cupped his hands and gave a Martial greeting.

"Brother Ling Tian, I already consider everyone as precious companions. It is just right for me to help my friends. You don't need to think too much about it. I believe that if it was you, you'll do the same." Long Bai reciprocated Ling Tian's greeting.

That afternoon, everyone prepared their gears and plans for the subjugation.

Yue's thoughts

'Uwah, I'm bored. Brother Ling Tian will come back after an hour and there's nothing I can do here. As for Brother Ah Mu, he can sleep no matter where he is. Hmm, maybe I can ask little Bai to play with me.'

*After so many tries to land a hit on Long Bai

'Ahhh! How came I can't hit him. I feel like I'm being toyed. Does little Bai know a martial skill? Brother Ling Tian told us before that skills are only taught after developing an essence core. It could not be possible for little Bai since he's not yet six years old. Did his family openly teach their kids even so? Anyway, might as well ask little brother taught me this martial skill.'

*After a few lectures from Long Bai

'The moves seem simple and easy to understand but my posture seems far from how little Bai executes it.

Let me practice it.

First block! Second block! Third! Fourth! Fifth! and last!

This is fun! I want to learn the next ones immediately!'

Hmmm? Little Bai is asking me to rest? It must have been an hour already. Brother Ling Tian must be arriving any time now.'
