Seeing that Zeke was about to venture deeper into the tomb, Old Skeleton started panicking and exclaimed, “Young
man, come back! You can't go in there. There's something really scary inside! If you come back right now, I'll teach
you everything that I know. I've thought about it. Since it's unlikely that I'll be able to leave this place for the rest of
my life, I shouldn't bring my skills into the coffin with me and let them go to waste.”
“Don't worry. Even if you die, I don't think you'll get to lie in a coffin.”
Old Skeleton was speechless upon hearing Zeke's reply.
The more he tried to dissuade Zeke from exploring, the more the young man was convinced that there was
something interesting in there. He became even more determined to find out what it was.
Shortly after going through a tunnel, Zeke arrived at a majestic underground palace.
Even though the ancient tomb was huge, every treasure that it once contained was already gone.
A stone platform was in the middle of the underground palace, and a crystal box was sitting on it.
As the box was translucent, one could vaguely see that there was an ancient manual inside the box.
Due to its age, the pages of the ancient manual had already turned yellow. Even the ink on the cover page had
started oxidizing, blurring the words on it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll Zeke could make out was the word “Pull.”
There was also an envelope placed on top of the crystal box.
Given the modern look of the envelope, Zeke guessed that it had only been placed there recently.
After the man picked up the envelope and blew away the dust which had accumulated on it, he was delighted to
see that it was addressed to him.
“To: My Dearest Disciple, Zeke Williams.”
My Dearest Disciple, Zeke Williams!
Master Pietro left this for me!
Zeke could not help but wonder how Pietro knew that he would come here one day.
Feeling curious about the contents of the letter, he opened it at once.
“Dear Zeke, years ago, I discovered that there was a branch of the Netherworld here. As this is the most important
place in our country, there's no way we could allow those filthy creatures to engage in vices here. As such, I led a
group of spies and infiltrated that Netherworld branch, destroying it...”
Zeke finished reading the letter very quickly.
The main contents of the letter were about Pietro's discovery of a Netherworld branch and how he had destroyed it
by leading tens of thousands of spies to infiltrate the branch.
They had also found out that the headquarters of the branch was located at the ancient tomb, which was where
Zeke currently was.
But the strangest part was that there was no sign of any corpses in the ancient tomb. Instead, the only thing here
was a manual containing an ancient battle technique.
It turned out that the ancient tomb was specially constructed for this manual.
From the epitaph, they got to know that the battle technique contained in that manual was a forbidden technique
that was not supposed to be passed down.
As such, the creator of that technique had decided to bury the manual within the tomb, isolating it from the world.
After Pietro browsed through the technique, he agreed that it was neither suitable for him nor any of his men.
However, Pietro had somehow managed to predict that Zeke would meet with an obstacle one day, and this
technique would be exactly what he needed.
As such, Pietro had left the manual here for Zeke to practice.
At the same time, he had trapped Old Skeleton in the cave as well, as Zeke would need him in order to practice the
skill.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke was stunned after reading the letter.
Not only was his master an expert at divination, but the man had also managed to accurately predict that he would
meet with some trouble one day!
But why is this technique forbidden and why can't it be passed down? Besides, I've already lost all my powers, so
would I still be able to practice it?
With all those questions in mind, Zeke opened the crystal box cautiously and took out the manual.
After examining the cover page carefully, he finally saw the words on it.
The words were “Planetary Pull.”
Planetary Pull! This is a battle technique that originated from an ancient era!
Rumor had it that this technique was used to suck away an opponent's powers and was feared by martial art
practitioners due to the ruthless nature of it.
As such, when the technique first surfaced, everyone in the martial arts world protested against it, requesting for it
to be banned.
In the course of history, there had only ever been two people who were able to master the skill.
No one would have expected that the ancient technique would resurface again after so many years!
