I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 818

"Huh, how have I not?!" Kingsley said self-deprecatingly. "But I only saw a few moves during those few minutes."

Suddenly, he changed the topic. "However, just those few moves have already benefited me greatly. Each time I perform those moves, a weak dark energy is generated within me. It continued until the early stages of the Martial Master rank. So, I speculate that this martial art must be divided into different levels, each capable of producing a corresponding level of dark energy."

Adrian's words shocked Kingsley, for the patriarch's description perfectly matched his own situation. He and Zephyr were currently at the Martial Master rank. It seemed that this martial art was indeed responsible for his progress.

While Kingsley was still amazed, Jake spoke up, "No wonder! No wonder you progressed faster than the rest of us when you were younger, Mr. Adrian. But once you reached the Martial Master rank, you stopped advancing."

"Yes." Kingsley nodded. "It's fortunate that I peeked at those moves for a few minutes back then, which allowed me to stand out among my peers. Otherwise, the current patriarch of the Diosna Stewart Family would be Horace. So, I understand deeply the power of this martial art and its significance to the Stewart Family."

He then looked at Kingsley. "However, you are not a member of the Stewart Family, so how did you learn this martial art?"

Even a Stewart like him had to kneel for three days and three nights when caught peeking. Adrian couldn't fathom how an outsider like Kingsley had mastered their family's most closely guarded secret.

Kingsley's face remained expressionless. "Since it is a closely guarded secret, I can't simply reveal it to you. If you were to know more than you should, your punishment wouldn't be as light as just kneeling for a few days."

In reality, Kingsley had no idea how his godfather learned this Unrevealed Secret Technique of the Stewart Family. However, he maintained a calm exterior.

Jake, Bronte, and the other Stewart Family members all wore incredulous expressions, their mouths agape, shocked beyond words as they had sensed the power of this martial art from Adrian's words.

"How is this possible… This is absolutely impossible!" Adrian looked at Kingsley with a complicated expression. "You are not even a member of the Stewart Family. How could you possess all the techniques? And without reaching the corresponding levels, the techniques are useless! You're only at the Martial Master rank. How could you have access to all the follow-up content?!"

"So what if I'm only at the Martial Master rank? Anyway, the manual is in my possession. I can just continue to practice when I reach the corresponding levels," Kingsley shrugged. "As for how this manual ended up in the hands of an outsider like me, if you're curious, ask the head patriarch of the Seavale."

Instantly, Adrian froze in place. "W-What? The head patriarch?!"
