They all call me Great Master-Chapter 556 - 533: Speak Without Thinking!
It was not difficult to verify whether 50,000 XP had some special significance.
Arthur still had the Arrow Guiding Technique!
Compared to Abdel's Pyrokinesis, the Arrow Guiding Technique was also created by the Empire's court jester, Harrington, and later improved by several scholars of Mystery.
Without hesitation, Arthur began to allocate points.
A richer arsenal was the theme of Arthur's point allocation this time.
And besides that?
The Arrow Guiding Technique was cheap enough.
Learning Level 1 only cost 5 XP.
According to the scale, Level 2 cost 10 XP, then Level 3 was 20 XP, Level 4 was 40 XP, and Level 5 was...
200 XP.
'Hmm?'
As Arthur allocated points, he paused slightly after seeing the 200 XP required for Level 5.
Then, he chose to upgrade again—
Arrow Guiding Technique Lv5: After research by several scholars of Mystery, this secret technique has become more stable and sharp, and has acquired additional effects; they felt satisfied with this and considered themselves worthy of praise
Effect: 1, Arrow Drawing; 2, Rapid Shooting
Arrow Drawing: Based on Spirituality, consuming a bit of physical strength, chanting the Glyphic Language "xiu" can control arrows flying towards or shooting arrows from nearby
Rapid Shooting: Capable of catching a continuous stream of arrows and shooting multiple arrows simultaneously
(Note 1: Can control 20 arrows flying towards and likewise can shoot out 20 arrows)
(Note 2: Can make arrows flying towards immediately fly back, with no additional movement needed)
(Note 3: The shot arrows are equivalent to long Firearm bullets)
...
"Just ordinary?"
Arthur muttered to himself.
Despite the same conditions, a different result had appeared.
Naturally, this was because—
People!
Abdel's Pyrokinesis could become different because of Abdul.
Wand Combat Technique could become different because of Lady Abel.
And the Arrow Guiding Technique?
Arthur looked towards the note 'research by several scholars of Mystery,' and then at words like 'felt satisfied' and 'worthy of praise.'
"Does a Master need an apprentice's heart?"
Arthur said to himself.
Of course, Arthur would never look down on those nameless researchers.
After all, compared to these nameless researchers, what standing or reason did he, someone who reaped the benefits, have to look down on others?
As for the speculation about 50,000 XP?
There would still be chances later!
Moreover, the Arrow Guiding Technique in itself was strong enough.
As long as his mouth's 'xiu' was fast enough and his physical strength ample, he could really face a barrage of arrows.
Of course, if possible, Arthur would certainly not hope to face such a situation.
But then...
Who could really explain the workings of this world?
The so-called trump card, isn't it just for such just-in-case moments?
"Pan, you must remember, never reveal your last trump card.
Or rather...
When everyone thinks you have it, you don't necessarily need it.
But when only one person thinks you have it, you must have it."
Arthur said softly to Pendragon, who was leaning against a pillow.
'Meow?'
Pendragon's feline face looked puzzled.
Shouldn't it be that when more people think you have it, you must have it?
Why does it become that when one person thinks you have it, you must have it?
"People are complex.
And human hearts?
"It's elusive," Arthur said, feigning depth.
The kitten couldn't comprehend such words and annoyed, broke free from Arthur's grasp, walking straight to the bowl of cat food and took a big bite.
Unlike other kittens, Pendragon opened his mouth and swallowed as if he were a bulldozer.
Arthur didn't mind this.
Is there anything happier than raising a kitten that eats well?

Naturally, the kitten isn't picky.
A cat that eats tomatoes, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and eggplants is definitely the perfect meal companion.
Of course, a surge in weight was inevitable.
As Arthur watched Pendragon, he silently counted down in his mind—
3, 2, 1!
When he silently reached one, a large ring of smoke appeared, and Marinda reappeared in the Spirit Medium Parlor at No. 2 Cork Street.
Upon appearing, this lady first glanced at Pendragon, who was eating heartily.
Then, she turned her attention to Arthur, who was lying on the bed.
"The matter with Baron Harold, I wasn't the one who orchestrated it," said Arthur, without waiting for Marinda to speak.
Given that Marinda had run here from Caesar Manor again, Arthur could think of no other matter than the recent incident with Baron Harold.
And that was precisely what Arthur had wanted.
"Hmm," Marinda scoffed coldly, obviously not believing him.
Others might think it was an accident.
However, Marinda, who knew well the deep connection between Arthur and the 'Blood Descendants,' certainly didn't believe it.
In her estimation, Arthur's agenda wasn't just calculated against the Lady Glast; he had long had his sights on everything that belonged to the Harold Family.
That included the title as well as the manor.
Just like she had once targeted Baron Harold.
Although she ultimately chose to plunder everything from Baron Kemir, that didn't mean the Harold Family's assets were valueless.
On the contrary, the Harold Family, her first choice, had considerable assets.
Although they were intangible assets, they were still enough to attract many.
Just for that reason, she, having just inherited the title, did not press her advantage.
She was not only waiting for a more suitable opportunity but also for the dust to settle!
Marinda believed that with the character of Baron Korol and Baron Haus, they would definitely not let the Harold Family off the hook. Once the former attacked the latter, it would be her time to reap the benefits.
And by then, she could take the "Caesar" surname to a new level.
However, Arthur's intervention had thwarted her plans.
Yet, Marinda wasn't irritated by Arthur's intervention.
Her irritation stemmed from not seeing through Arthur's scheme and...
She was mystified about what Arthur really wanted!
This was indeed why this lady was irritated!
Marinda found that, at some point, she had always been outmatched by Arthur.
Be it in strength or scheming.
For the immensely proud Marinda, this was a significant blow.
Indeed, had Marinda not been mentally resilient and determined, she would have broken down long ago.
And now?
Marinda had somewhat gotten used to it.
But, this didn't mean she wasn't curious.
This lady didn't believe Arthur was unaware of the current situation in South Los, where he could just wait a little longer to gain greater benefits.
Thus, this kind of 'sacrifice' must be for even greater benefits.
What could it be?
Marinda couldn't help but speculate.
Leaning on the pillow, Arthur glanced at the lady's expression, shrugged helplessly, and the young 'Spirit Medium' sighed softly.
"Marinda, haven't you realized, you always seem to guess what I'm planning to do?"
Saying this, Arthur looked at the lady and earnestly said—
"100,000 gold coins!"
