Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"So it's really a Martial Art, huh…" Lar muttered to himself after hearing Yulia's teachings.

He's one of the Followers of Qheglena and has been trying to become stronger through her method of training.

Because they were underweight and didn't have good condition in their bodies, their main focus in the first week was to gain some weight and ensure that they do not have any hidden sicknesses in their bodies.

Aside from having decent meals every day, it was thanks to the various potions and pills that they consumed, that their condition turned a lot better within a week.

They weren't wrong to trust these people who are in the same residence as the Celestial Beings.

He wasn't exactly sure about the hierarchy within this residence but he can tell that Yulia and Severin handle almost every internal matter of the residence while Vincent would always go to the First Tower for some external matters.

It was quite weird that a blind person is in charge of that but he won't complain.

Right now, on the eighth day after entering the Stellar Residence, five people including him were selected for special training since they have a talent in Martial Arts.

Well, the 16 original members of their group weren't all fighters, and to be honest, he thought that he has no skills in combat as well. However, during Yulia's screening process, it appears that he actually has talent in learning Martial Techniques rather than Mana Arts or Soul Arts.

Together with the other four, they were brought to the training ground at the front court and were about to receive proper training.

The veiled beauty revealed her intention to teach them three Martial Techniques suited for their level of talent.

"These Martial Techniques were suited for Magic Knights..." Yulia revealed.

"What? Magic Knights? Can we really learn them Lady Yulia?"

Lar asked in disbelief. As far as he knows, techniques used by Magic Knight were not only difficult to learn but also require a cultivation technique.

Furthermore, the matter of sharing the techniques with them is already unbelievable. The only thing they did within the estate was to help with the renovation after all!

They don't think that they already deserve to receive such a reward!

"Don't think too much of it… It's for the sake of Celestial Beings as well. Although they are strong, the Tower might've found their weakness already. If not, how could they kill the other Celestial Beings?"

Yulia solemnly said.

"T-this… Is it possible that Celestial Qheglena also fell to their hands?" One of them asked.

"I don't think so… If she was really Number 12, there's no way she can be captured by those magicians. If I'm not wrong, they can only kill Unnumbered Celestials, right?"

"That's correct!"

"Then Qheglena most likely encountered another Celestial at her level so she had to leave you guys. Anyway, I will teach you these techniques so you can at least be useful for the two Celestial living in his residence…"

"Yes, Lady Yulia! We will do our best!"

"Good! You only have to reach the Beginner Stage of these techniques then I'll teach you the cultivation method you needed to advance further as a Magic Knight." Yulia announced as she started teaching them three Martial Techniques.

They were Deadly Seven Fists, Flying Swallow, Armor Breaking Kick.

The techniques were all martial skills that doesn't require any weapons. It's not because Yulia is tactless about this matter but it was simply because of the gifts that these people have obtained.

They weren't gifts that can allow them to be strong magicians or craftsmen, instead, it was a gift that only focuses on strengthening their bodies!

It appears that they have all obtained some of the physical attributes of a Celestial Being!

They weren't like Vel who can create Formation Arts with his gifts or Caesus with incredible analytic skills and perception but they have physique even better than Barbarians!

It was just unfortunate that it hasn't developed really well because of their terrible conditions while running away from the Fifteenth Tower's pursuers.

The Deadly Seven Fist allows you to attack continuously while hitting the vital parts of the opponents. It focuses on speed and also helps them develop a proper stance.

The Flying Swallow is an attack where you support the weight of your body with your hands and kick with both elevated legs to attack… This seems a bit unconventional but it could also train their bodies while practicing this technique.

Finally, the Armor Breaking Kick appears to be a simple tornado kick but once they learned the cultivation method of the Magic Knights, they would be able to use their Life Force with each of their attacks and create incredible results.

Lar and the other four did their best to understand the three Martial Techniques as their respect for Yulia increased by another level.

"For the Celestials!"

The five of them shouted in unison after Yulia left to allow them to train on their own.

They continued training until they were exhausted and had to be dragged by their fellow Followers of Qheglena.

Within the dining hall, the 16 members of their group were eating a sumptuous meal.

Some of them can't even believe that the appetizing seafood is really on their plates!

Apparently, this lavish meal is not something that normal people can enjoy since seafood was all costly!

They were having shark fin boiled in white wine with chilled oysters. There were also shrimp and other seafood on the side. There was even fruit-based wine for them to drink.

Soon, the reason for having this lavish meal was revealed by Calidia.

As they started tasting their food, she stood up in front of everyone and attracted their attention.

"Ehem…"

Calidia looked at her friends whom she treated as her family. They were already on the right track as their bodies started getting weight and their previous unhealthy and feeble stature was no more.

Their eyes were filled with hope as they all looked in her direction.

"Everyone… Sir Vincent wanted to thank us for our efforts… Specifically to Miss Rufia and Hirtia who had helped us earn a lot of money. He said that aside from this meal, he will be granting all of us some top-quality weapons so he wanted to ask you all what kind of weapon or equipment you wanted to have."
