Adding Points

Seeing his Personal Experience increase by one point, Little Arro perked up, delight bursting in his heart.

As long as it worked!

Judging by their expressions, if he dared turn back, they would dare crawl all the way down again.

He would explain it to Cabir later and come again tomorrow. But Cabir had to keep a close watch on these "good opponents."

You could not shear a sheep to death in one go. These children's minds were already fragile; if they went through this two more times, they really would all run away.

To encourage these little brats, after obtaining his grandfather's permission, Little Arro had the knights deliver a message.

In the future, most users of the Knight Breakthrough Potion would be selected from this Knight Academy, with only a small portion reserved to reward those with merit.

But!

The Knight Academy did not keep the weak. Arro himself was the chief examiner, and the examination process would be exactly like the first day!

Upon hearing this news, the knights all roused themselves. They dragged over their relatives and younger descendants, instructing them in low voices and forcing them into training.

When Little Arro came again the next day to collect experience, he discovered that several young men could already grit their teeth and throw punches at him.

Ding! Enemy defeated. Knight's Breathing Technique gained 2 Skill Experience.

Converted into Personal Experience. Personal Experience increased by 2 points.

Seeing that his Personal Experience had increased more than it had yesterday, Little Arro's eyes gleamed. Copying a method he had seen in his previous life, he called out the little fatty who had been the first to punch him, had him stand at the very front of the crowd, and lavished him with praise.

After praising him, Little Arro patted his shoulder and encouraged him. "You're really not bad. What's your name?"

The little fatty was thrilled. With half his face black and blue, he puffed out his chest and raised his head proudly. "Young Master Arro, my name is Bray, Bray Hobbs!"

"Good!"

Little Arro turned around and saw the yearning eyes glittering below him. His heart grew even hotter. These were all his Experience Points—his future was bright!

"You should all learn from Bray Hobbs! This is what a knight should look like! You must all possess this spirit of never admitting defeat, never giving up, and fearing no powerful enemy!"

When Little Arro reached the gates of the "kindergarten" and heard the childish shouts within gradually growing more fervent, he inexplicably felt a farmer's sense of accomplishment.

But as a "farmer," he could not forget to water his crops. He had to remember to snip a few Red Flowers when he returned, to use as tomorrow's rewards.

Only with the "watering" of little red flowers could his "flowers and plants" grow swiftly.

More than a month later.

When he faced this group of children again, he could already feel a slight amount of pressure.

Ding! Enemy defeated. Knight's Breathing Technique gained 6 Skill Experience.

Converted into Personal Experience. Personal Experience increased by 6 points.

Enemy defeated. Cat Style Fist - Dash gained 1 Skill Experience.

Little Arro quietly rubbed his arm, glanced at the notification, then raised his head and praised them. "Very good. You now have a little of a knight's bearing."

Under the blazing sun, a group of battered and bruised children stood in neat ranks on the training ground. Without a single stray sound, they all raised their heads and puffed out their chests as they looked at Little Arro.

The total number of children had not changed, but quite a few of the faces had been replaced piecemeal. None of that was what Little Arro cared about.

"Bray Hobbs, Yog Kyle... a total of five. Step forward!"

Looking at the much sturdier Bray Hobbs, Little Arro encouragingly handed him a Red Flower. "Keep it up!"

"Yog Kyle!"

"Here!"

"Keep it up!"

"..."

As he walked out the gates and heard the cheers from the Academy behind him, Little Arro rolled up his sleeve and looked at the bruise on his firm arm. Looks like I need to get serious too. I actually got hurt today. That's a bit of a failure.

These young men who had remained after many rounds of elimination naturally could not have improved their qualities too quickly.

Yet through their fearless endurance of pain, refusal to admit defeat, unity, and cooperation, they fought three matches in one day. With coordination that covered for one another, they ultimately managed to strike Little Arro. He had merely blocked the attack with his arm before smashing every one of the young men into whimpering wrecks.

Remaining Skill Points: 3

Seeing the Skill Points he had harvested, Little Arro wore the blissful smile of an old farmer.

The sun had already sunk beyond the edge of the valley, and the light within the valley was gradually dimming. But from Little Arro's experience, there was still more than an hour before darkness fell completely.

Even at a stroll, that was enough time for him to return to the Castle. So Little Arro was in no great hurry. He took a steaming tuber from the kitchen, eating it with relish as he slowly called out, "Come on, Knight Cabir. Let's go home."

Looking at those three Skill Points, Little Arro truly could not keep himself steady.

Strength, Agility, Nerve Reflex, endurance, physique... I'll try adding one point to Nerve Reflex and see how it feels. It'll also give those little brats a surprise tomorrow.

I have to work hard myself!

System, add points for me!

Nerve Reflex: 1.6 + 1

"Hiss!"

Little Arro involuntarily shuddered. An electric-current-like stimulation shot swiftly from his tailbone, immediately spreading through his entire body along his spine. The hairs all over his body rose uncontrollably, the faint sensations in his limbs swiftly opened up, and Cat Style Fist - Dash activated automatically.

Cat Style Fist - Dash has broken through to Advanced. This skill has reached the limits of the body.

Phew~

That felt amazing!

He had thought he would have to wait for the "kindergarten" to grow stronger and practice with them more before he might have a chance to break through Cat Style Fist - Dash to Advanced.

He had never expected the opportunity for a breakthrough to appear out of nowhere.

Little Arro hurriedly absorbed the sudden insights that had appeared in his mind.

The key core of Advanced Cat Style Fist - Dash was actually to use the Arrector Pili Muscle to make all the down over one's body stand upright, using that down to heighten one's perception of the slightest details in the surroundings.

Could any normal person meet such a perverse requirement?

Fortunately, after adding points to Nerve Reflex, his pores automatically contracted and simultaneously triggered the Down Perception Ability. This temporarily pushed Cat Style Fist - Dash to Advanced, and with the System's support, the level was directly solidified after the breakthrough.

As Little Arro walked, he swayed his head smugly. "I really am a genius. I actually managed to break through like this!"

Tap, tap...

Crisp footsteps slowly echoed over the bluestone-paved road.

Where was Cabir's questioning voice?

Little Arro, who had been planning to show off, immediately stirred his body and activated the newly upgraded Advanced Cat Style Fist - Dash. Then he quickly turned back to look.

The surroundings were still the same gloomy, eerie swamp as always, and the road ahead was still there, but the road he had come from had Disappeared!

The knowledge he had studied for so long swiftly flowed through his mind. Little Arro narrowed his eyes.

Had he fallen into a Different Dimension?

No, that was not right!

The book Interesting Space had recorded that the feeling of Space Transfer was extremely obvious!

At different locations, the same object's weight would have subtle differences. Such differences were difficult to notice normally, but once space made a jumping movement over a certain distance, living creatures could perceive them quite clearly.

Beyond this change in the sensation of gravity, there would also be obvious differences in the smell of the air, temperature, humidity, and even the concentration of energy radiation!

He had already activated Cat Style Fist - Dash, and his sensory abilities throughout his body were functioning at their utmost, yet he had detected none of those changes.

This proved that he had not yet fallen into a Different Dimension!

The most likely possibility was that his mental fluctuations had been drawn into another world, while his actual body remained where it was.

He could not move from his position!

Since he could not see Cabir's figure right now, that meant Cabir had not been drawn in. As long as he did not move recklessly, Cabir would definitely report what had happened to his grandfather!

If he ran about wildly, he might be drawn in by the Different Dimension and truly fall into it!

Clip-clop, clip-clop!

Neat footsteps were gradually approaching from the end of the road.

It was coming!

"Squeak! The Cat King arrives! All idlers, make way!"

Clip-clop, clip-clop...

The synchronized footsteps were like the sound of fine rain, strangely pleasant to hear.

"Squeak! The Cat King arrives! All idlers, make way!"

The cries grew closer and closer, but Little Arro looked to either side and saw no living creature.

"You big fellow, why haven't you made way yet!"

A shrill voice came from beneath Little Arro. He hurriedly lowered his head and saw a Gray Mouse dressed in clothes and standing upright before him, squeaking anxiously. "If you don't get out of the way, the vicious Cat King will catch you and subject you to Five Dogs Dismemberment!"

Five Dogs Dismemberment?

What kind of strange punishment was that?

Little Arro asked tentatively, "Hide? Where should I hide?"

As long as he confirmed that something in the Different Dimension was asking him a question, it meant that he had already been exposed, so limited conversation would not increase the danger.

On the contrary, remaining silent was often understood as tacit agreement!

"I know a good place!" The Gray Mouse warily glanced behind it, then hurriedly said, "The Cat King is almost here. We can talk as we walk!"

As soon as the Gray Mouse's voice fell, two rows of soldiers made from colorful candy gathered within the shadows. Holding sharp hard candies, they marched forward in neat steps, slowly emerging as a sweet fragrance gradually filled the air.

Was it the Candy Maze that absorbed childlike emotions? The Illusion Realm Nightmare Demon that bewitched minds? Or the mischievous Wish Sprite?

Little Arro guessed at the identity of the Gray Mouse before him.

He did not yet dare confirm its exact identity, but he had already noticed one thing: the Gray Mouse was deliberately stirring up his fantasies, drawing the other world closer to him.

Crush it to death?

No, that would be the most foolish thing to do.

If it was the Candy Maze, only by eating the core candy could one kill its messenger.

If it was the Illusion Realm Nightmare Demon, what he saw might very well not be its true body.

As for... a Wish Sprite?

Little Arro stared intently at the Gray Mouse before him and muttered softly, "I wish to leave here and return to reality!"

The Gray Mouse immediately responded, "Of course, your wish shall be fulfilled!"

The moment its voice fell, its expression changed. It squeaked in a shrill scream, "Wait! What did you just say?"

But at that moment, everything around him was fading. Little Arro covered his chest with one hand, politely made the salute of a Wizard Apprentice, and respectfully said, "I look forward to our next meeting, esteemed Little Sprite Highness!"

The Gray Mouse said in a furious panic, "No! You ruined my entire script! Get lost, you hateful Wizard Apprentice! I'll never see you again! You have no idea what opportunity you've lost!"
