Whispering Wisp Movement 3

The deadline for learning the Whispering Wisp Movement Technique was closing in. If he was already short on time before then right now it would be impossible for anyone to complete this task within the given time. This was considering that they were normal people but Arthur, on the other hand, was not normal, to be more precise, he was blessed with the Will.

The first time Arthur threw rocks and attempted to catch it he miserably failed. He threw 10 pieces of rock up in the air but only managed to catch 2 rocks. If this was anyone it would have been considered average considering how many rocks were thrown in the air and the distance between them.

In Arthur's perspective, this was not enough. If he ever wished to be able to learn Whispering Wisp Movement then he would have to at least get 8 pieces of rocks without much difficulty.

"Hais, can I really learn this in just 2 days? This is gonna be a close one!" He simultaneously threw rocks up in the air then only using one hand to once again take the rocks thrown in the air. This time he managed to get 3 pieces of rock. Although he got 3 pieces of rock, this was when 2 pieces of rock were nearby so he was lucky in getting 3 pieces.

"Once again!" Arthur then once again threw rocks in the air and caught them. This time he managed to get 2 pieces of rock, from this one could say that time was not by his side.

The ghostly man, Ken, was looking at Arthur trying this exercise. From anyone's perspective, one could say that Arthur wasn't making any progress at all. But from Ken's view, Arthur was perfectly described as a monster.

With each throw in the air, Ken saw the changes in Arthur's body. It was tantamount to an increase of 1 Body Strength each time he did this. Arthur was a monster in the eyes of someone who could people 10 times stronger than him. Then how could normal people describe Arthur?

Every single increase in point was not noticeable but if you consider that Arthur could do this indefinitely then the accumulation of these points was horrifying.

Luckily, Arthur stopped getting a point in body strength each time he did it. He now needed to do it 2 times then became 10 times then eventually 100 times until the day ended and he managed to get another 50 Body Strength and 10 Mental Strength.

The tired Arthur collapsed on the cold, hard ground fast asleep.

While Arthur was learning Whispering Wisp Movement, Joseph pinched his forehead with his thumb and index finger. He sighed as he needed a new plan now. Everything that was already bad became even worse. It was adding fuel to the fire.

"Soooo... Joseph! Since you are stressed out, you want a drink?" Jerald was still his jolly self as he got two bottles of whiskey and laid it in front of Joseph. "Liven up a little! Enjoy life while you still can!" Joseph paid no attention to Jerald as he was already immune to his antics.

"I guess desperate times call for desperate measures, Jerald! How much is it?"

"Oh! The sealed or the lifter? Or both? Can you be a little more specific?"

"The lifter... Donna Ivy."

"1 Crystal, if you ask me it is pretty cheap!" When Joseph heard the price tag he nearly shouted regarding how high the price tag was. For comparison, 1 Crystal is 1000 Gold Coins, 1 Gold Coin is 100 Silver Coins, 1 Silver Coin is 100 Iron Coins. The price for killing Donna Ivy, the guild master of Hidden Bandit Guild, was worth more than 10 times his entire fortune.

As of this moment, Joseph only had nearly 98 Gold Coins. This amount was from the moment he reaches 50 years old to now since he really didn't need to buy much other than equipment and information he saved a lot. Nearly 50 years in order to save up 98 Gold Coins was an astonishing amount considering where he lived, the outskirts of Roax, where the poorest of the poor reside.

If it took 50 years to get 1/10th of the amount then it would take him 450 years to save up for a crystal. The price was just an insane amount for someone who lives in the outskirts. of the realm.

Still, the price no matter how insane it was, was reasonable. If Donna Ivy managed to lift the seal on 'him'. The damages would be barely covered by the cost of the crystal, and it did not include the ruined lives that that monster would cause.
