Chapter 416
Dustin was rendered speechless. What else
was he supposed to think when a girl willingly approached him at night?
Toozy to argue, Dustin merely asked, “What do you need?”
“Judging from today’s battle, you seem like a good fighter. How did you do that?” Abigail asked.
“Ever heard of Elder–
level martial artists? I’m one of them, so I can easily handle over three hundred opponents. *Dustin ans
wered nonchntly.
“Yeah, right. I doubt it.” Abigail clearly didn’t believe him.
“Whatever. You probably can’tprehend what I’m telling you anyway. All you need to know is that I’
m very powerful.” Dustin summarised. Most ordinary citizens didn’t know about martial artists, so even i
f they met one, they wouldn’t be able to tell.
“Fine. Can you teach me some moves? I’m not asking for much. I just want to be able to defeat a doze
n men.” Abigail looked at Dustin with hopeful eyes.
“You want me to take you in as my disciple?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.
“Ugh, you’re so old–
fashioned. Who does that these days? Just teach me a few moves as a friend,” Abigail responded.
“I guess that’s fine. But to learn my moves, you have to have a solid foundation, or it’ll be useless. This
means that you’ll have to start by building your internal energy.” Dustin told her.
“What’s internal energy?” Abigail stared at him dumbly.
“You can understand it as mana.”
“Oh, I get it. It’s what allows those people to be human anvils and all.” Abigail realized.
“Um… I guess so.” Dustin’s smile faltered before he continued. “It takes talent for someone to cultivate
mana. After all, effort pales inparison to actual talent. Those who are meant to be martial arti
sts will easily understand this, while those who aren’t won’t see the results no matter how hard they wor
k.”

“I see. Then do I have that talent?” Abigail asked eagerly.
“Give me your hand.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll pass some of my true energy to you. If you can feel it, that
means you’ve got the potential to be a martial artist; if you don’t, then you’re just not cut out for it.”
Dustin exined, holding her wrist and channeling some of his energy into her.
“Huh? I can feel It! It’s warm and tingly!” Abigail lit up.
“Not bad. You passed the first level.” Dustin nodded. Before he could say anything else, his brows furro
wed as he realized the energy he had just channeled into her had miraculously disappeared. It was as i
f something
had swallowed his energypletely.
“How is this possible?”
Puzzled, Dustin channeled another burst of energy into Abigail, which was quickly absorbed again. Ho
wever, he had felt it this time. There was a seal inside her body, and the seal was so strong that his tru
e energy
wasn’t enough to affect it.
Fortunately, it was a protective seal that was harmless to Abigail’s body and would onlye into effect
when she was in danger. Thinking that the energy he channeled earlier was a threat, the seal automati
cally
absorbed it.
The seal had been done by someone who was either a Grandmaster martial artist or stronger and an e
xpert in seal making. In other words, Abigail was under the protection of someone powerful.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Abigail asked after seeing Dustin’s reaction.
“It’s nothing.” Dustin smiled. “I’ll pass you the training technique, but your sess depends on you.” He
wrote down the training techniques for beginners and passed the paper to Abigail. “Study it back in you
r room. Find
me again once you’ve mastered your internal energy.”
“Okay!” Abigail took the paper and ran back to her room excitedly.
“Interesting.” Dustin smirked, staring at Abigail’s retreating figure.
The seal in her body was extremely rare, and only close family members would waste so much time an
d effort
to do something like that.
Dustin instantly became more interested in Abigail’s mother.
