35 Puzzled Quinn (1/2)
So slowly one by one they returned to their rooms on the flying clouds. No one can fight hunger including Quinn. Quinn was in the first group that left the class. The return journey was uneventful; they made their way to their rooms with students of other classes, while chatting with Tracy and her roommates.
They had a simple lunch while discussing about the physiques and body refining arts, all of them planned to check the arts given to them after lunch. After quickly eating their lunch all of them gathered in the training hall.
Quinn looked the list of body refining arts and felt dizzy there were thousands of arts and he didn't know where to start.
”Elgar what am supposed this heap of body refining arts; any brilliant ideas?” Quinn first asked Elgar as he was the only one who knew all his secrets.
[Boss, it doesn't matter which one you choose Primordial Chaotic Physique can accommodate anything. Your inheritance surly doesn't have anything relating body refining art. After all those stuffs are related to top cultivator's legacies, it would be odd to find body refining arts as a part of their legacies. Just try to get the most diverse art from this pile.]
As Elgar proved completely useless he decided to follow Fran's instruction and decided to filter.
First, he glanced through the entire list and realized that most of the body refining arts were for specific body parts like Dharma fire eyes art, Iron claws arts, Golden legs art, Jade finger arts, illusionary limb art, so on and so forth.
Quinn didn't have any physique so eliminated them and the list significantly reduced, then he removed any art that focused on single attribute like strength or speed or flexibility.
This wasn't a blind guess work he thought about his physique which is hidden by Elgar, the only thing he knew about it that it is versatile and could help him practice various cultivation manual simultaneously.
He didn't want to restrict himself by focusing a particular body part or attribute like strength. Improving a single attribute will have disadvantages of sacrificing one aspect for improving another like compromising mobility for increasing strength or sacrificing defense for speed.
Though these were common sense, Quinn has practically experienced all these in his precious life. He has hunted many people and killed numerous people using these weakness, so will never make such a blunder.
After these two elimination most of the arts were removed. People like Quinn who doesn't focus on one attribute were very rare as it was well known that the difficulty increases exponentially.
Only people like Lardo who have physique that focus on overall body enhancement will try such arts.
Quinn knew his choice will increase the difficulty but he refused compromise. In fact, Quinn was a perfectionist and will always strive to get the best. There were only 14 body refining arts of which only 4 body refining arts were diverse.
Five Elemental art - The basic five elements - water, fire, earth, wind and space are integrated within the body. This integration will develop the body more vigorously. (Comment: Extra ordinarily difficult - only two people has ever reached complete mastery.)
Ethereal illusion art- At the highest level can travel between reality and illusion, some simple ability moving like wind and sudden manifestation. (Comment: Impossible - never succeeded; Instinct development is the highest stage ever reached.)
Primal evolution art - Improves all body functions. (Comment: Impossible never succeeded; Instinct development is the highest stage ever reached)
Umbra blood art - Best body refining art for assassin. (Comment: Extra ordinarily difficult - only three people has ever reached complete mastery.)
Quinn went through the description and he was stunned silly not by the comment but the briefness of the description. It hardly one sentence or few words all the arts he has read till now least had a small paragraph not this short.
