"Strong as he may be, let him be strong. A gentle breeze brushes the hillside. Forceful as he may be, let him be forceful. A bright moon shines over the river..."

"Master the harmony of heaven and earth, control the six qi, and roam limitlessly..."

"Zhao Ku'min wears a Hu hat... Ten steps to kill a man..."

"..."

"What are these? Mysticism?"

Sigurd put down several manuals, massaging his temples in a headache.

Two sword manuals, one boxing technique, one light-foot technique, and one pure heart technique – five manuals in total.

They were all quite complete, but their exact hierarchical order was hard to determine.

At the very least, the variety was relatively comprehensive.

All the techniques were written in classical Chinese, which was understandable, given that they were created by people from ancient times.

They also needed to consider the issue of exclusive inheritance, so there was a certain level of reading threshold... but the content was too abstract!

Poetic and philosophical concepts, how do you translate them into practical physical models?

No wonder Otto and Fu Hua had been working together for so long, yet neither of them had learned any martial arts. Schicksal had also not produced any remarkable martial arts masters.

Sun Tan mentioned that these techniques relied on comprehension.

From Sigurd's perspective, this meant thinking abstractly enough to match the logic of the manuals, allowing the practical applications to be deciphered.

Furthermore, whatever insights were gained would likely only be useful for the individual who comprehended them.

Attempting to convey those insights through words would likely be futile.

After going through them once, assisted by his broad knowledge, Sigurd felt like he was getting somewhere, but it was still vague, and he had a hard time grasping it.

On one hand, this was due to the writer's insufficient level of skill – the explanation of fundamental principles was lacking.

On the other hand, there was the problem of outdated ideas that hid some secrets, mixed with a lot of unnecessary content.

"I need to find a martial arts school and observe it firsthand. Alternatively, maybe I should come up with a way to invite that ancient hero from 50,000 years ago?"

Sigurd pondered, considering the possibility of recruiting people from Otto.

Speaking of which, Fu Hua's goal is to protect the land of Shenzhou.

This is something Sigurd could potentially handle, and there might be room for negotiation...

Buzz~

Suddenly, a message appeared on Sigurd's phone.

"Third floor, northern balcony."

The sender was Cocolia, the message containing only a location.
