When Soran finished packing up their stuff, the e Soran glanced at her, then knelt and asked, ”Vivian What did she say?”

Vivian answered truthfully, ”She just asked me how old am I and if I kno to read It's okay, I didn't tell her aboutso Since Vivian was still a young girl, it was best not to let others know she was an innate sorcerer He did not dislike the mistress of the merchant squad, but that did not mean he completely trusted her either Wizards and witches were all weird and abnorues and wizards ay back Furthermore, none of the native wizards and witches were sirounds and circumstances

Anyway, thetoward the city of Whiterun after everyone was ready

Perhaps because of the short chat with the e to learn neords out of the blue Soran thought the sauages in this world Unlike dragons, which could awaken to all sorts of knowledge including languages, sorcerers could only awaken to new spells Vivian only knew around several hundred words right now, but since she was a ss even faster than Soran

The probles which she liked—after learning new vocabulary for a while, she would start yawning non-stop

Unlike yesterday, theat a slower pace today

Vivian did not see vocabulary after all; she got drowsy after Soran taught her several tens of neords She grumbled a bit, told Soran that they should continue next tiiven to her by one of the le day, Vivian was liked by most, if not all, ifts and toys The s to play with, while thewhich did not seens Vivian liked it nonetheless as she liked the fancy designs

Just like that, half a day passed The squad encountered groups of gnolls and goblins on the way, but none of them dared to attack as there were so many armed personnel in the squad It was only when another coain uards in front but was disappointed in the end

The merchant squad had encountered a person: a solo adventurer who roa ed man with thick brows, short hair, and a square face The solo adventurer wore a sirey cloth, with his ars were equipped with ht have practiced in special combat styles or techniques such as Warcry, a skill which was similar to Lion Roar of the Shaolin e to eneh the shockwaves of one's shout

When Soran saw thewith hi fatal wounds which were clearly done with bare fists

”A fistthe ether and lowered his head ”Is Master travelling alone?”

Thein the sa Soran's actions, the uard asked Soran in a s three gnolls with his bare fists, and the rest of the gnolls fled”

Soran nodded, then explained, ”He should be a fist master and an ascetic monk These people tend to travel alone in the wilderness in order to train their bodies and wills”

After learning that the uard felt less tense, as most ascetic monks were not evil people

Fist Master was an advanced profession for monks Those who pursued this path abandoned the use of weapons co attacks which utilized their bodies The powerful skill One-inch Punch was only available to the professions Fist Master and Divine Monk

Monks were usually the type of people who preferred travelling alone in the wild because they had to toughen up their h difficult situations Furthermore, they could feel the power of spiritual freedo alone in tough conditions

Monks who chose the path of becoo the ritual of donating their properties to the poor They believed donating then their willpower

This was one of the professions which was heavily reliant on one's will; ascetic ic, and their willpoas top notch as they had given up materialistic desires

Only a feould pursue the path of beco an ascetic monk They had to make a sacred oath, and they would suffer severe backlash if they went against that oath If that happened, their conificantly, and their willpoould be heavily daed

One out of ten monks would choose to become an ascetic, and only one out of ten ascetics could advance to the profession Ascetic Monk Since ascetic monks discarded all items and money they coreatest skill for all endary One-inch Punch!

Without the need for any weapon or protective gear, they fought with their bare hands and instincts They also had extreic defense, not to mention some very unique abilities and skills which could directly interfere with the eleh enduring hellish situations with their willpower

Many ascetics gave up midway and became ordinary monks; not everyone could endure the teave up, it would be very unlikely that they would ever make another attempt
