“Yes, So that’s it literally. There isn’t much difference between each martial art manual of the same grade or tier, it’s only different when the grade or tier is on a higher level.”
“Low tier black rank martial art manuals are common and in circulation like cabbages. You might be surprised if you know how many of these types of manuals are out there. Even a beggar might have one, if care isn’t taken but that doesn’t mean that anyone can become a martial artist.” Ella explained.
“Then the military should be using a black rank martial art manual?” Damien inquired as he digested all that he heard.
Ella replied as she nodded, “Yes, then the standard military issued martial art manual is the mid black rank which means its highest usage is till the mid stage of the body refinement stage.” Ella said as she looked at Damien to explain.
“So that means Black ranks are for body refinement and yellow is for qi refinement. Which tiers match the potential and usage.” Damien said again showing an understanding expression.
“Nice, you truly are a fast learner.” Ella said in admiration.
“It’s all thanks to my Great Teacher’s teachings.” Damien praised the Little Miss and bowed.
Seeing this, Ella nodded her head and said with her hand on her chin pulling her imaginary grey beards, looking at Damien like some kind of antique; “You are truly worthy to be taught.”
Mia and Damien couldn’t help but laugh at the Young Miss acting like some Great Teacher.
“I would give you a low tier black rank for you to study. If you reach level 1 body refinement then I would upgrade the manual. Come to me if there is any problem and I would be reviewing your performance every three days while improving your fighting technique everyday. Let me show you how to practice it.” Ella said as she brought out a low tier black rank martial art and performed some series of exercises.
“I would do it three more times before you try it. I’ll correct you when necessary.” As she performed it three more times.
Actually Damien already grasped it the first time but still allowed her to perform it more times. After Ella was done performing, he performed his with little correction made.
“Ok very good, so three days from now. Prepare to be reviewed and if I notice you have been slacking then I…I…I won’t let you off easily.” She said while trying to figure out a punishment for him.
Damien laughed in his heart and said, “Yes Teacher.”
“Now I will reach you with a series of sword movements. Practice well and try to master it.” As she brought out two wooden swords.
After sword practice for about 1 hour. “Let’s call it a day.” She said to Damien.
“Then Teacher, what’s the name of this sword technique, it seems powerful.” Damien asks suspiciously.
“Right, It’s called Phoenix……” she almost answered absentmindedly but regained her senses. “It’s called Phoenix Laugh, it’s one of the many techniques we have but for you, it can be regarded as a secret technique till your rank improves before I can be able to teach you the ones our retainers are learning.” Ella praised herself for being smart enough to improvise as she leaves in a hurry.
‘Is this the legendary phoenix cry, but it doesn’t seem so albeit similar.’ Damien thought as he opened the martial art technique.
Then something unexpected happened.
Ding!…. Host online….
‘What Host? Wait is this the legendary system for transmigrators… hahaha I am going to reign supreme. Puvaria World and it’s inhabitants here I come…’ he roared in his heart.
Ding!…. Connecting…. 60%…
‘Come on baby… come on.’
70% …80%…. 90%…. 95% …98% ….99%
‘Yes…’
99.1%…. 99.12% …. 99.17%…..
‘Are you making joke of me system?’ He thought angrily.
99.53%… 99.78%… 99.82%… 99.93%
‘Hurry the hell up.’ He almost couldn’t wait again.
99.97%…. 99.99%….
‘Finally.’
Ding! Connection failed…
‘Failed….failed… after everything. It’s a failure?’ He felt like the world was against him as he stare at the sky and wanted to curse…
Ding! Just kidding… 100%
Connection successful…. Host paired…. Initializing….
Ding! Welcome Host to the Demon System…
After waiting for what seems like an eternity, Damien said, “Hello, system. Are you there? Is there not supposed to be a manual or guide or introduction to this. Are you just going to leave me hanging? And what do you mean by Demon System? Am I going to be a demon? Can’t you just be a normal System?”
“Damn, it seems like all my words fell on deaf ears. I think I would just figure it out myself as time goes on. Truly, this world is against me.” As he laughs bitterly.
‘I think in some books, I read that the system does have a panel. I guess I can try that.’
“Panel..” No response.
“Profile..” No reply.
“Attributes..” No notification.
“Host’s Panel.. No written words
“Host’s attributes.. No spoken words
“Host’s attributes panel..” No hint.
‘Nothing worked? s**t… what else am I to say again’
“Bring up my panel…”
“Bring up my attributes…”
“Bring up my profile…”
‘Nothing again, I would just keep trying till…. Damn, why didn’t I think of this?’
“Show my panel”
Ding! Showing host’s panel.

‘Okay but why the f**k is my level sealed? And how can I unseal it?’ Damien almost vomited blood when he saw his panel. ‘This is poor customer reception, and no answers to my questions’
‘Customer service, I would like to make a complaint…. Oh how much I love the 21st century on Earth.’
