—Relax and feel it carefully.

Kang De followed the princess’s guidance and felt and searched.

“I… can sense a change…”

He closed his eyes and said.

Kang De called the cheat he had obtained the “Enchantment Technique”.

He extracted the elements from everything and bestowed them again, allowing another object to obtain a brand-new attribute or concept. This was the power he had obtained.

From Kang De’s train of thought and vision as an Earthling, this ability had endless potential and the possibility of infinite discovery. The enchantment technique of the other world was one of the ideas to realize this possibility.

He could extract the relevant elements and replicate the many enchantment techniques of the other world accordingly. In terms of efficiency and speed, it must be far higher than the enchantment techniques of the other world. If word got out, it would definitely anger a large number of alchemists to death.

Moreover, this ability, coupled with the complementary elements absorbed from the white fog on Earth, also underwent a shocking change. It was better to say that this change surprised Kang De even more. This large construction mechanism that relied on “Fantasy” could enchant items with similar shapes and attributes into things that appeared in fantasy works. It was very exciting.

Ordinary watches could be enchanted into an anesthesia watch, and the Taobao version of the filial piety sword could be enchanted into a real Frostmourne. These were all conventional operations. Kang De had already researched and decided that if he could return to Earth, he would definitely go to the Marshall Islands and fish out his wives one by one.

At the moment, he only grasped these two uses.

However, it was actually enough.

Logically speaking, the Holy Seal Islands suppressed all supernatural powers. If Kang De was also within the range of being suppressed, he should “recover” his strength after leaving the island. However, this was only an ideal situation. After all, Kang De could also use Element Extraction on the Holy Seal Islands. He might only be exempted from the magic suppression.

Moreover, he had often transmigrated back to Earth in the past year and had not become especially strong when he returned.

Therefore, Kang De was actually already mentally prepared.

The Element Extraction golden finger was already powerful enough.

It did not matter even if he did not have any new abilities.

However, with the intention of giving it a try, Kang De closed his eyes and focused. He felt a strange change.

Tina and Cleveland held their breaths and looked at Kang De expectantly.

Although the princess had emphasized several times not to treat Kang De as one of them just because of the Knighting Ceremony, humans were always truthful subconsciously.

They still subconsciously felt that the stronger Kang De was, the better it was for Goethe.

However, soon, Kang De opened his eyes helplessly.

Tina was first stunned, then she said gently, “No? You don’t have to care too much. That power is already shocking enough. It can even make you comparable to the most famous enchantment master on the continent in a short period of time. Moreover, it’s best to be a world-renowned alchemist. The nobles, experts, and even the country will fight to curry favor with you. You don’t have to fight. It’s safe and your status is high…”

She comforted him.

Kang De was a little touched and embarrassed.

“No, it’s not impossible.”

He spread out his hands and said, “I can sense the change in my body. It’s not an illusion. I know that I have a new ability. I can indeed sense it, but the problem is…”

At this point, the transmigrator sighed and said in the distance, “I don’t know what it is…”

How should he put it? This was a kind of feeling.

He clearly knew that there was something, but he did not know where it was or what it was.

Tsk.

Why did this cheat not even give him an instruction manual?

—When I used this ability on the island, I was laughed at by the parrot and the others for using it wrongly.

Now, it did not even give a hint.

Tina and the knight looked at each other.

Cleveland asked, “Your Highness, is there such a precedent?”

The princess thought for a moment and shook her head, “No, at least I’ve never heard of it. Accepting the inheritance ritual is equivalent to a wise hero guiding the path. After the inheritor wakes up, he will immediately see the path ahead… I’ve never heard of a situation where he can’t use it after accepting the inheritance.”

She thought for a moment and comforted him, “There’s no hurry. Perhaps the situation of the Holy Seal Islands is special and suppressed a portion of Kang De’s inheritance. After a while, you’ll slowly remember.”

Kang De nodded, but he did not look disappointed.

His current temperament could probably be considered to be calm to a certain extent.

He had even encountered something even worse. This small matter was nothing.

The knight thought that he was only forcing himself and reached out to pat his shoulder, “There’s no need to mind. Just as the princess said, being an alchemist respected and revered by the world is better than fighting on the battlefield…”

Cleveland still adhered to his philosophy and did not want clean people to be stained with blood.

In his opinion, it was not a bad thing that Kang De did not awaken any powerful combat strength.

Kang De glanced at him and smiled.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the knight’s chest. With a little force, the knight took a few steps back.

Cleveland touched his chest, surprise flashing across his face.

“Stand still and try again.” Kang De took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, “Don’t give in to me. Let me confirm my current strength. If you go easy, it’ll get me killed in the future.”

The knight nodded as the sharp and dazzling light appeared on his body again. “Come.”

Kang De reached out and pushed. The knight’s body swayed, but he stood still. The transmigrator took a deep breath, exhaled, and suddenly pushed with all his might. Cleveland immediately staggered.

Before Kang De could smile in victory, the knight reached out and grabbed his arm. He stretched out his foot and kicked Kang De’s left leg. He turned around and bent down, throwing him to the ground with a shoulder throw.

He reached out to pull Kang De up and smiled, “You’re very strong, but your technique is too poor.”

“I’ve never practiced it.” Kang De patted the dust off his body. “When we first met, you also wanted to throw me over your shoulder. You didn’t succeed at that time. How did you succeed now?”

The knight smiled and said, “Because of the enhancement of my battle soul, my battle aura has strengthened my physical strength. If I can’t defeat you under such circumstances, won’t my years of cultivation be a joke?”

It was really the battle aura… This setting was really subtle, revealing a sense of age and cliché.

With this mood, he asked what battle aura was.

The knight was first puzzled, then an obscure understanding flashed through his eyes.

He smiled and said, “It’s been a long time since Cathay communicated with the continent, so Kang De doesn’t know, right? Our battle aura was first transmitted from the east. After many years, after the evolution, misinterpretation, and improvement of the continent, it became like this. It’s said to be completely different from the ‘martial arts’ of the east.”

Kang De said in surprise, “There’s such a setting?”

“Yes,” the knight said. “It’s said that opening up the path of battle aura and completely severing it from Eastern martial arts involves a bloody past. This is because powerful Eastern martial arts often have philosophies that match them. If you want to cultivate and achieve something, you have to study this philosophy carefully. In the end, the person who cultivated this martial art became stronger, but his thoughts were similar to those of Easterners and caused a lot of trouble…”

“That’s not all.”

Tina, who had been listening, interrupted.

Seeing Kang De look over, she snorted proudly in her heart and said, “At that time, the Cathayan Emperor discovered that the martial arts of his country had been leaked, so he simply secretly spread the unorthodox martial arts cultivated by some extremely evil experts in his country to the continent. Then, a lot happened… You know. This turmoil lasted for a long time until some experts completely made up their minds and wanted to walk their own path…”

At this point, she blinked at Kang De. “Of course, this is only the record in our history books. In the history books of Cathay, it’s probably another excuse. Who can explain what happened in the past?”

Kang De suddenly thought of something, “Is there no one on the current continent who practices Eastern martial arts?”

Tina and Knight looked at each other and laughed together.

“Of course.”

She said, “However, it’s very rare… There are always a few in this world. They feel that battle aura is a product of Eastern martial arts and is an inferior version. The original is the strongest, so they chose to cultivate Eastern martial arts… However, because of history, this behavior is taboo by many people. No one will openly announce that they cultivate Eastern martial arts. That’s it.”

Kang De nodded. “I see. I understand.”

He was indeed very interested in the so-called Eastern martial arts.

Which young man had not dreamed of summoning 18 dragons with a palm strike when he was young?

There was no hurry. He could take his time.

He looked at Cleveland. “Then let’s do special training, Knight. Since the technique is insufficient, let’s train.”

The knight was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Alright, but you have to be prepared for pain.”

Kang De smiled indifferently.

Friend, wait till you learn of the pharmacy.

As the knight smiled, he thought to himself, “It seems that I have to go all out. In order to wake Kang De up, I almost used 90% of my strength… I can’t let him get carried away.”

Kang De also smiled and thought to himself, ‘I used about 60 to 70% of my strength just now. It’s the strength I had when I first encountered him on the island. If I unleash my full strength, I should be able to suppress him. He didn’t expect that my friends would help me collect attribute medicine, right?’

That night, Second Senior Brother and the others surrounded the rift valley to kill the black beasts. Later on, when they saw that there were too many, they called for an air raid to throw the incendiary bombs. Before that, they killed some black beasts and dug out the crystals. When Kang De bade them farewell one by one, they all took them out shyly.

It was so satisfying.

Therefore, the two of them had something on their minds. As they smiled, they put their arms around each other’s shoulders and went to practice.

Tina, who had finally interrupted and showed off her knowledge, looked at the two of them in a daze.
