Chapter 34 - Back to Civilization part 3 (1/2)
”Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Well since you're not taking back those two powers, let me at least give something back in return. Even though it's nowhere near enough to settle this debt of gratitude I have with you, it's at least a start.”
And so instead of staying at an inn, Hei would camp out in the woods for that day. Jasmine and Ophis both came out as well. After getting a campfire started and grilling some meat for them eat, Jasmine started talking about a technique of hers called the Star God Broken Shadow. It is a movement technique that allows one to gain such extreme speed that they leave behind after images that are indistinguishable from the real one. Activating his EMS (Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan) Hei watches on as Jasmine demonstrates the Star God Broken Shadow in front of him.
*DING [”Sir, you have just observed the Star God Broken Shadow technique. Do you wish to comprehend this technique?”]
['Yes JARVIS.']
[”Understood sir. Comprehension of the Star God Broken Shadow in progress.
....

....
Congratulations sir, you are now capable of using the Star God Broken Shadow (currently at Stage 1)”]
”Thanks Jasmine, I got it.” said Hei as he immediately demonstrated the Star God Broken Shadow in front of them.
”{sigh}…. As broken as always I see. Well, I still have one more Profound Art for you. But it depends. Are you going to use a heavy sword as your main weapon?” asked Jasmine.
”I am going to use a heavy sword, but not exclusively. I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, master of all.” Said Hei with a confident smirk.
”Doesn't the saying go: Jack of all trades, master of none.” Said Ophis confused.
”Normally, yes. But in my case, every weapon I get my hands on, I'll immediately be an expert with it.
Doesn't matter if it's a spear, a sword, an axe, a dagger or whatever weapon, I'm a master with all of them.” Said Hei with a continued confident smirk.
”Meh…... Good enough. I'll take with I can I get with you. This next one is a profound art called the Great Way of Buddha. It is an extremely difficult skill to cultivate and depends on ones' comprehension ability. My brother, who was one the most celebrated geniuses in the God's Realm, managed to comprehend it in 33 days. But compared to you, that is just a snail's pace so I think you'll comprehend it quickly if not instantly.” Said Jasmine as she placed her hand on Hei's forehead and imparted the first stage of the Great Way of Buddha to him.
DING* [”Sir, you have just been granted the Great Way of Buddha. Would you like to comprehend it?”]
[”Yes”]
[”Understood sir. Comprehension of the Great Way of Buddha in progress.
....
....
....
....
Congratulations sir, you have just comprehended the Great Way of Buddha.”]
'Alright, let's see... Huh? Great Way of Buddha: a profound art that uses the energy from Heaven and Earth to increase the users arm strength and grant restorative powers. Unlike other profound arts that exist in the Profound Veins, the Great Way of Buddha exist everywhere in the body, except the Profound Veins. In summary, this skill gives a permanent boost to arm strength and gives a regenerative skill as well. This skill is a lot like senjutsu, with the main difference that senjutsu is a temporary power boost that boost both physical strength and profound strength and Great Way of Buddha is a permanent power boost only to the physical strength department.' Thought Hei to himself as he was busy comprehending this skill.
