Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

Chapter 136 - 136: Learning Essence Circulation [II]

After our little meeting with the Cadet Council President, Michael and I exited the office and began walking down the hall.

Vereshia worked much faster than I expected.

We hadn't even turned the first corner before my phone buzzed with a text.

Thalia had accepted my offer.

My dear twin sister, the future duchess of Luxara, had agreed to drop her

I laughed. "Wow. Whatever the secret to your strength is, it must be serious if you're going this far to hide it."

Michael didn't stop working as he answered, "It is. So listen closely. Don't tell anyone what I'm about to teach you. If you do, people won't just come after me — they'll come after you too."

I feigned ignorance, smirking. "Now I'm really curious."

Michael finally turned to face me, his usual expression replaced by something far more serious.

"You should be," he said. "Because once you learn this, there's no turning back. So here's my warning — if you misuse this power… I'll personally kill you. I'm already taking a gamble by giving it to an immoral bastard like you."

I raised an eyebrow. "Dramatic much?"

He ignored me, stepping away from the console after making sure that the cameras were off. Then, with a sharp gleam in his eyes, he spoke:

"Alright, listen up. What I'm about to teach you isn't something you can find in any Academy manual. No instructor could teach it either. In fact… I don't think any human possesses this knowledge."

I crossed my arms. "Sounds illegal."

Michael scoffed. "Oh, it absolutely is."

I grinned. "Go on."

He took a deep breath, gesturing for me to follow him to the center of the room.

"The 'secret' behind my power isn't some martial art, hidden treasure, or alchemical enchantment potion like you might have guessed." He paused, letting the words sink in. "It's a technique."

"A technique?" I repeated. "So it is a martial art."

"No," he shook his head. "It's an Essence Circulation technique."

I widened my eyes, acting surprised as best as I could. I didn't want him to suspect I already knew what he was talking about.

"An Essence Circulation technique?" I blinked, looking shocked and incredulous. "That's impossible. You can't feel Essence until you reach [B-rank], let alone learn a Circulation Technique. Are you seriously telling me you can already sense Essence?"

Michael met my gaze, his expression unreadable. Then, after a few seconds, he nodded. "Yes. And that's exactly what I'm going to teach you."
