After Jason’s affirmative answer, the feeling of satiation turned into a warm flow that spread from his stomach to his heart. Then, it spread throughout his whole body. The next moment, the text appeared— [Charles Burning Technique (Proficiency): This is a secret technique that doesn’t require gestures nor the chanting of Dufol Language to cast, but it does require considerable mystical knowledge and tenacious willpower as a foundation; where it originally came from can no longer be traced, not even Gerard, who excavated this secret technique from the ruins, knew, but he could determine that it came from a very ancient era before different systems, and in order to adapt this secret technique to the system of this era, Gerard made a series of improvements and supplements, resulting in significant changes from the original; Effects: Consumes a bit of physical strength, creates a cone-shaped (35° length 6 meters, height 0.5 meters) flame above the level of a blade’s edge from the palm, continuous spraying will continuously consume physical strength; you can choose either hand for the attack, or use both hands to release two flames at the same time, but the physical strength consumption is doubled.] [Charles Burning Technique upgraded to Proficiency Level, obtained inherent proficiency option: Flame Transformation] [Flame Transformation: You can choose the initial method of jetting flames or change the shape of the flame to adhere to your fist or be shot out as a fireball; the base power of the flame remains unchanged, when adhering to the fist, physical strength decreases, bringing blade-level protection to both hands; when shooting out fireballs, the radius of the ball is 0.3 meters, the firing speed and distance are related to one’s own strength] After harmonizing his knowledge, skills, and body, Jason raised his right hand. Then, he silently chanted in his heart, “Violent thrust, slight lift of the wrist, an upward flick.” To deepen the memory, he chanted it three times. The blade thrust out, lifted over his head, and then, with momentum, he chopped down. It was even more vicious than before. Moreover, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction rose from the bottom of his heart with such a slash. Jason stopped in place. Moments later, he slowly sheathed the wide-bladed, short-handled chopping knife. “I’m not suited for swordsmanship,” he concluded. Then, Jason, following his instincts, temporarily set aside Griffin Swordsmanship and turned his attention to the ‘food’ within reach—he decided to do something more suitable for himself. This ‘food’ was the accompanying potion for Blair Exorcism Technique. The accompanying potion for Charles Burning Technique provided 10 points of satiety, and Jason believed that the Blair Exorcism Technique would not be far off. However, the best time to take the Blair Exorcism Technique enhancement potion was at midnight. It was only morning now, and he needed to wait patiently. “Waiting will make the ‘food’ taste better.” Jason reminded himself. His gaze, however, involuntarily shifted to the door outside of his room. He had not forgotten the local delicacies that Reed had mentioned before. Amid Jason’s anticipation, Reed entered with a large tray in each hand. After placing two trays on the table and uncovering them, Reed spoke: “These are all local delicacies of Fort Swallow; you may want to give them a try.” “This is ‘Fort Swallow Meat Soup,’ made from rice, lean meat, and eggs. It has to be cooked until a spoon can stand in it without falling over to be considered good.” “‘Buckwheat Root,’ Fort Swallow’s characteristic thin pancake, made from mixing wheat and millet and then pan-frying. Its uniqueness comes from its syrup dipping sauce.” “This is ‘Bore Crunch,’ made with pre-marinated white radish and freshly sliced carrots.” The personal servant elaborated in detail. Jason, however, automatically translated these dishes in his mind to the ones he was familiar with— Preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Although the names were different, the tastes were similar. And the portions were generous. Two pots of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Twenty brown sugar pancakes. A bowl of pickled radish. Jason moved his arms left and right, with constant motions that created blurs of movement. Watching this, Reed couldn’t help but think to himself: “Lord Jason always hides his true strength during normal times.” “It’s only in these private moments that he reveals it.” After watching Jason quickly finish off the food, Reed immediately asked: “Would you like some more, my lord?” Jason considered for a moment, it was already morning, and he shouldn’t eat too much to save room for lunch. So, he modestly requested a certain amount. “Mm, just three more portions would be good.” “Right away, sir. I’ll be back shortly.” After clearing the utensils in front of him, the personal servant quickly stepped out and closed the door behind him. Not even two minutes after Reed had left, the sound of Lady An Lu’s footsteps approached. Standing before the door, the lady knocked.
