Chapter 279
His familiar just smiled at him before glancing at the bracelet on his wrist. 'There is a reason why blacksmiths first let's metal turn red in the furnace before they start hammering. Otherwise, they'll just be destroying the metal. We can start sparring at any time, but until your body is fast and strong enough to keep up, I'll just be hurting you. And not just because you'll be too slow and weak to respond to my attacks. The fighting style I plan to teach you will place certain requirements on your body, for speed in terms of both attack speed and defensive reaction time. Not to mention that you'll have to put a certain amount of strength into your attacks if you hope to have them do maximum damage. Strength that you don't currently possess. Rushing to spar with me will not make you a strong fighter sooner. While we are working to ensure that you are first ready, let's first ensure that you have a strong understanding of combat and its principles," Olivia laid out. Unable to argue a
Chapter 278
The first lesson was that efficiency was the backbone of combat. In her words, it was a cardinal sin to do in two moves what you could do in one. In essence, whoever needed the least number of moves to win a fight had a deadly advantage over whoever their opponent was. To this end, Greg had been given an in-depth analysis of all the weak points in the human body and how best to aim for them. Much like demolishing a building, if you used enough strength and force, you could bring it down. Anyone who knew anything about demolition, however, knew that this was an unnecessary waste of energy. So long as you hit a few critical points, you could easily bring a massive building down. The same was true of the body. With enough power behind the blow, any part of the body could be turned into a weak point. For a fraction of that power, however, you could cause the same amount of damage if you hit the right spot. Efficiency, that was the name of the game as far as his familiar was concerned. T
Chapter 277
The city of Torrin and the people in it were one instance of the dungeon but not the actual dungeon itself. He'd need to somehow pierce the veil of each dungeon instance to figure out the secrets that cut across every dungeon. So far, apart from the dynamic areas, Greg had discovered that so long as he didn't directly pick a path to try and achieve the main objective of the dungeon, the run didn't get any harder. In other words, so long as he was in information-collecting mode and not actually pursuing any path, then he didn't have to worry about the dungeon getting harder. But other than these two relatively small discoveries, he'd thus far been unable to pry any other truths from the dungeons. Greg suspected that he'd have to attempt other dungeon instances aside from the Mayor's dinner party before he discovered more. 'You did well by pushing through the pain, and you even managed to avoid the temptation to go for your opponent's head despite him so obviously baiting you,' Olivia
Chapter 276
After three days of thinking, three days in which he didn't delve into the dungeons, he concluded that it all came down to information. First was information about the target area. In this first dungeon, it was the city of Torrin. In other dungeons, the area of interest would be different. Greg had thus spent a whole two weeks just walking around the different districts, familiarizing himself with the various roads, pathways, and alleys. Where the significant landmarks and buildings were. What roads the city guard patrolled and so on. Once he had the lay of the land and could move about without losing his way regardless of which part of the city he was in, Greg moved on to the second step, which was gathering information about his targets. Their, schedules, their mannerisms, their allies, their foes, and so on. Depending on who his target was, this step could either be easy or incredibly hard. For example, getting information about the potion-maker, Lady Andreya, wasn't that hard. S
Chapter 275
After feeling a sharp pain in the back of his head, Greg found himself on the clouds above Torrin. Greg could feel a molten fury bubbling up within him at the dirty cheating by the spider gang. But with only clouds around him, his rage, bloodlust, and desire for rampage were largely impotent. It took a long while for him to calm down but eventually, he did, and a sigh left him. "Guess I should have seen that coming," He muttered to himself when the rage was no longer clouding his judgment. The dancer was one of the gang's best fighters and top earners in the fighting ring. They were never going to so easily let Greg kill the man even though they would never have intervened if the shoe was on the other foot. A short while later, Greg opened his eyes back inside his bedroom. For a second, he didn't move, paying attention to his body and how he felt. It was almost surreal to realize that, other than some mild discomfort, Greg felt perfectly okay. After assimilating seven beast-cores, t

Greg managed to lean to the side fast enough for the fist that was flying at his face to narrowly miss. Despite evading the attack, Greg couldn't help the cold sweat that soaked his back as he felt the sharp wind that brushed against his face as a result of the speed and force behind the punch. Had those knuckles connected, he would have been out cold. Taking a step forward to gather momentum, Greg sent his right hand looping around the outstretched hand in a counter-hook that held nothing back. But, rather than a satisfying crunch of knuckles against flesh, his punch sailed harmlessly through the air as his target danced out of his reach with annoying ease. Greg, however, only let himself feel the disappointment for a split second before focusing on the fight once more. He had overextended himself a bit with his attack but not by too much. His opponent was the kind to mercilessly punish even such small mistakes, so he needed to correct his stance before... It took every ounce of wil
