The feat that Arthur did where he defended against three attacks of his father where even he could not make him certain that this was the correct person to learn Wisp Swordsmanship.
Lying on the ground, Arthur was unconscious not knowing how great the feat he had accomplished was. He laid there motionless, Ken and Joseph did not dare wake him up as he will need as much energy to learn Wisp Swordsmanship in such a short amount of time.
In comparison to everyone in Roax, Arthur's growth as immeasurable as he could beat those people at King Rank and barely fight against someone at Emperor Rank. However, this kind of growth, compared to the other realms, the realm of Yoho has geniuses with similar growth.
Being able to equally grow as much as those geniuses from Yoho means that Arthur was a one in a thousand year genius to them. There were a lot of differences from Arthur to those geniuses, those geniuses had materials and masters that could guide them and teach them the ways while Arthur only had himself and Joseph.
Another difference was the quality of the realm's quality of energy. The quality of energy of the realm greatly impacts the growth of a person. For example, a person who doesn't strengthen themselves in Yoho could be on equal terms with someone at Infant Rank from Roax.
The higher the quality of the realm's energy the stronger the base status and growth of all the beings in that particular realm. Although this is the case, not every place in the realm has equal quality of energy.
Where Arthur was now could be considered as the lowest of the low. He was in the part of the realm where it could be considered where the weakest humans reside, the unranked.
Although being unranked means that you are weak, there were are still some people who remain unranked and these people don't have a particular affinity for rankings so they do the tedious jobs such as electricity management, house building, construction, government, etc.
This was the reason why Joseph was only at Emperor Rank even though he worked extremely hard and why people at different realms are worlds apart. So, Arthur being able to equally match the geniuses of Yoho means that he truly is unparalleled in terms of growth in the realm so far.
Albeit, Arthur's growth isn't exactly the same as the other rankers since he has the Will of ??? which makes him grow as much as ???.
After sleeping for a whole 24 hours, Arthur opened his eyes with all his injuries gone. Joseph had healed his injuries while he was sleeping to waste no time for training.
The moment Arthur opened his eyes, he was met with a sword in front of his face. He knew that he was accepted to be trained in Wisp Swordsmanship but he didn't particularly know how difficult it is.
With a cold glare, Ken used his sword and attacked the dazed Arthur, "Hmph! Never let your guard down! This is the first rule!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Arthur used Wisp Movement. He didn't dare use Whispering Wisp Movement he just used before because the toll on his body was extremely great since he didn't know the basics of it and just used it without caution.
With a sigh, Ken sheathed his sword and gave his first task, "Your first task is to learn Whispering Wisp Movement Technique. Be prepared, I expect with your growth to learn the entirety of this technique in a week. That would give us two weeks before the war."
Whispering Wisp Movement Technique? This was shocking to Arthur, he was not shocked by learning the skill but the time it would take him to learn it. When he used it prematurely, it was a do or die situation for him and the toll on his body was extreme.
He also knew that the way he used it was not even touching the 1/1000th of its full potential. Even Ken did not even unleash 1/100 of the skill's full potential. He knew this because, in his mind, Arthur saw someone who was using this technique and the world seemed to disappear and appear with clones numbering in the thousands attacking an army.
This single person wiped the army that numbered in tens of thousands singlehandedly. The clones didn't vanish but rather it was if there was an actual person fighting him. This was not the only difference, the name was also different, it was named "True Mythical Brisk Clone Technique." The effect of this technique was, the speed that user will gain speed equal to his body strength, the user could create real clones with 60% of the user's strength or imaginary ones, the number of clones would be based on how deep one's understanding of the technique is.
Upon being told on how this technique works, Arthur almost spat out blood from the complexity of this technique. What he did before was partially correct in theory but lacked the safety measures as well as the essential understanding of using speeds to create illusionary sounds.
This was so so so much harder than it sounded and it didn't even sound easy at all but extremely mind-boggling.
If just learning this much was already this hard, how complex would the "True Mythical Brisk Clone Technique" be to even get a single clone? Of course, this was for the current Arthur who was currently unranked.
All he has to do in order to comprehend this technique was to reach a higher rank because Arthur's comprehension was higher than the majority so he could start comprehending this technique.
With knowing how utterly powerful this technique was, it was now understandable on how Ken could fight someone at Intent Stage.
In the 6 realms, there is no such thing as the strongest technique, there is only the most developed technique. Even then the technique could be countered by another technique that was specially designed against it. In the end, the profoundness of the techniques doesn't matter but the complementation of the techniques for each other does.
No matter how strong the technique was, it was in the end still just a technique so it could still be changed but the effects from changing a single step could either make it peerless or make it worse then trash. This was how people who knew the same technique could still find a winner.
Without any care, Ken threw in Arthur's direction the scroll of Whispering Wisp Movement. "Kid, I expect you to learn this in a week! If you fail, you'll die in the war from people coming for you."
This week was going to be even harder than before since now there was Ken.

In Rob's store, he was still researching how he could remove slave seals. In fact, removing slave seals were child's game in all the realms and all they needed was a technique to remove it. This was what Rob was researching, a technique to remove slave seals.
Although a technique was all that was needed, there weren't a lot of techniques that could do this even in the higher realms so Rob was playing with fire here as a lot of people would want to get their hands on this technique to save their friends, families, lovers or companions.
He got extremely close to finalizing the technique and had written down everything in his scroll for future use. Calling it a day, Rob went straight to bed and the moment his head reached the pillow he dozed off instantly.
In the shadows, a mysterious man forcefully entered Rob's store he then stole his research and destroyed any research that Rob had done. "Sorry..." The mysterious man sighed as he mumbled.
Stealing the research would make sense in this crazy world but destroying Rob's research was questionable. Just what was this mysterious figure's motive? Why did this person apologize?

After an entire day of reading and trying to comprehend the technique, Arthur finally tried it for the first time. Arthur channeled his energy to increase his speed, there was no power only speed. Joseph was standing in the middle of an open area as Arthur charged in.
The purpose of this was to confuse Joseph with illusionary sounds and it would prove that Arthur reached the first step out of many. Doing as the scroll had indicated, Arthur did various odd movements and at each turn sound waves and after images were created.
Arthur thought that he had done it in such a short amount of time. But to his surprise, Joseph didn't budge in the slightest, "Arthur, sorry to say but I am extremely resilient to these kinds of attacks! The only person in this realm that could probably fool me is my father!"
Well, of course, it wasn't successful in the first try! This was such a complicated technique that normal people will ever reach 1/10th of the technique even if they comprehended it their entire lives.
