Chapter 431 - Remember What You Never Learned (2/2)

Rather than learning something, Alex felt like he was remembering something he had long forgotten.

However, that was impossible since he had never learned it at all. This could only mean,

”This has something to do with the Alchemy God's Knowledge?” he wondered. This made him question more about the 'Alchemy God' in the name of the skill.

Was that a real person? If so, was that person still alive? Or was it just a name made up by the person who had a large enough knowledge about Alchemy.

Also, just how much of this was skill, and just how much of it was the information? If information was a vital part of this skill, then where did the information end?

He still had to unlock at least a single level, if not more. When he did that, what knowledge would he gain next? What skill would he gain next?

Finally, one thing he really cared about and made him think about it all was what was currently happening to him.

”If Alchemists are the doctors of this world… then it's a given that a knowledge about Alchemy would have medical knowledge too.”

”Is that what is happening to me right now? Am I unlocking information that is already in my brain?” he wondered.

”If that is true… then why do I need to read it all in the first place? I never felt any of this with information regarding alchemy. Do only medical information do that… or are there other alchemy related, but not strictly alchemy focused information out there that will do this too?' he wondered.

He couldn't help but be excited about what was to come in the future.

He swiftly learned all the information that was on the books from last night and was done with it for the day.

By the time he was done, the sun was reaching the mid sky and the heat of the day was slowly making its way into the carriage.

”Uh, I should go eat something before I start training on the techniques,” Alex thought and quickly logged out while he was still in his meditative position.

He freshened up and went out to eat. His part of the meal was kept in the refrigerator, so he simply heated it back up and ate it.

Once he was done, he returned back to what he was doing.

”Sigh, I can only practice half of the techniques, right?” he thought as he remembered through what he had learned.

”Whatever, let's start,” he said to himself and started circulating his Qi. Since the technique wasn't a strong one and didn't require a lot of Qi, the Qi it did require traveled through his body at an incredible rate.

Finally, when it reached his hands, it release onto the air. The Qi was of the fire element, but it did not produce fire. Instead, it just dissipated into the air.

To anyone looking from the outside, they would think that this was a failure, however, to Alex he had succeeded.

He had managed to produce Fire Qi and would continue to do so from now on. Fire Qi on its own was pointless as it didn't do anything, however, if he were to mix it together with Wood Qi, that was where the magic would happen.

He could finally empower the wood element he had. That was the entire reason he had learned this technique.

It wasn't just this technique that he had learned. He had also learned to produce Wood, Water, and Earth Qi from his body. He didn't learn any for Metal Qi as he had full control over it and could produce it anytime he wanted without a technique.

He quickly learned all 3 of the remaining ones and practiced producing them. Once they all worked, he was very happy.

There was still one problem to all of this however that he hadn't thought about and that was because he hadn't been able to test it yet.

He was worried that his Metal Qi couldn't be empowered by the Earth Qi and would instead weaken the Earth QI. But he didn't know if that would be the case as Empowering was quite different from the other 4 results of two elements mixing.

”I should try empowering a few attacks of mine when I reach sister's house,” Alex thought.

These weren't the only attacks he had learned. He half also learned bare-handed and sword techniques for each of the elements he didn't have one of.

They were all normal projectiles that could fly through the air and hit the opponent. Unfortunately, he had yet to test them either.

”So many things to do. Thankfully, the medical information didn't take that long to understand,” he thought and started sifting through the information to fundamentally understand how medical stuff with alchemy worked.

He had nothing else to do, so he did that for the next 3 hours. That was when something happened that suddenly stopped him from doing anything.

”Oh no! Master was right,” he silently said as sweats formed on his forehead and palm out of fear.

He was starting to feel the feeling once more.. He was starting to feel the advent of the beast invasion.
