In the days that followed, with the boost from the modified 《Sword Qi Body Tempering Technique》, the speed at which Tyr tempered his body on the training field every day clearly accelerated.
Additionally, what pleasantly surprised Tyr was that after running the modified 《Sword Qi Body Tempering Technique》, the progress of his tempering had also increased with the same amount of medicinal efficacy as before.
Tyr could clearly feel that as the number of connected acupoints increased, the damage the sword qi did to his body was decreasing.
This change in Tyr naturally could not be hidden from Ed, who had been watching them on the training field.
After witnessing Tyr's even faster cultivation speed compared to the day before once again, Ed finally could not sit still. This was clearly not a normal phenomenon.
It was normal for cultivation speeds to vary because everyone's talent was different, but his was simply too fast. Moreover, what did it mean for it to keep getting faster day by day?
“Tyr, how did you do it?”
Once Tyr walked off the training field, Ed finally could not resist asking.
“Huh? How did I do what?”
A look of confusion appeared on Tyr's face. He had no way to explain to Ed and the others how he knew about the acupoints in his body, so he could only play dumb.
“I mean, how are you constantly increasing the speed of your cultivation of the 《Sword Qi Body Tempering Technique》?”
“I just kept practicing, and it kept getting faster. Isn't it like that for everyone?”
Hearing Ed's question, Tyr showed a surprised expression.
“Of course not.”
Ed looked at Tyr speechlessly. Do you even hear what you're saying?
No matter the technique, cultivation always slowed down the further along one went because the content would become increasingly profound.
The more you cultivate, the faster you get? Does that even make sense?
But seeing Tyr's reaction, he didn't seem to be lying.
“Tyr, do you feel any unusual changes in your body? Do you feel any discomfort?”
Ed frowned, wondering if something had gone wrong with Tyr's body.
“No, I feel great right now.”
As Tyr spoke, he stretched his body a bit to show he was fine.
“Tyr, don't resist. Let me check your body.”
Since this was the first time such a situation had occurred, Ed still felt uneasy despite Tyr saying he was fine.
He reached out and placed a hand on Tyr's shoulder. A powerful wave of magic power surged from Ed's palm and entered Tyr's body.
A moment later, Ed withdrew his magic power.
His magic power had just circulated through Tyr's body once, and he hadn't found any issues. Tyr's body was extremely healthy.
“Instructor Ed, is there something wrong with my body?”
Seeing Ed withdraw his hand, Tyr asked.
“Uh, there's absolutely nothing wrong. You can go back first, Tyr.”
Having detected nothing, Ed shook his head.
“Okay.”
Tyr nodded, turned around, and walked toward the dormitory building.
“No, I need to go ask Boss. He's knowledgeable and experienced; maybe he'll know something.”
Watching Tyr's receding figure, Ed scratched his head and turned back to the training field.
Although he really wanted to go to Ryder right now to get a clear answer, there were still so many reserves on the training field he needed to watch over.
If a reserve died during training in the Sword Prison due to their own incompetence, nothing much would happen to instructors like them.
But if the fall of a Callis bloodline was caused by an instructor's negligence, Boss would truly skin him alive.
When Tyr returned to the dormitory, Avia had just finished drawing the bath and stepped out of the bathroom.
“Young Master has been returning earlier and earlier lately.”
As the exclusive maid serving Tyr, Avia had noticed that Tyr's cultivation was ending earlier and earlier even before Ed did.
Since even Ed didn't know if something was wrong with Tyr, Avia had no way of knowing whether this was normal.
But looking at the other young masters and young ladies in the dormitory building, none of them had their cultivation speeds constantly accelerating like her young master did.
In the end, Avia could only attribute everything to her young master's talent being far superior to everyone else's.
Naturally, Avia was delighted by this.
The fate of an exclusive maid was bound to the master she served. The more of a genius Tyr was, the more room she would have to grow in the future.
After modifying the 《Sword Qi Body Tempering Technique》, both the speed at which he absorbed the medicinal efficacy of the bath and the speed of tempering his body with sword qi had improved.
After Tyr bathed, it was still not even eleven o'clock.
It wasn't lunchtime yet, so Tyr planned to go down and walk around.
Changing his clothes, Tyr walked out of the dormitory building.
Looking up at the sky, Tyr finally remembered that there didn't seem to be anywhere worth wandering around here.
He turned, intending to go back, but then thought since he was already out, he might as well take a stroll.
Before he knew it, Tyr arrived outside the pharmacy.
Through the window, Tyr could see Edmond still hunched over his lab bench, busy with his research.
On the other hand, Kadeen and Rosalind, who had always been assisting Edmond before, were nowhere to be seen today.
“Are you interested in pharmaceutics?”
Edmond's voice drifted out from the pharmacy.
“Uh, actually, I'm more interested in botany.”
As for why he was interested in botany, it was naturally because Tyr wanted to find local substitutes for the cooking spices of his past life so he could make the delicious food from his memories.
Over the years, he had truly dreamed about those flavors from his memory.
Edmond stopped what he was doing, glanced at Tyr, and turned to grab a book from the counter behind him, presenting it to Tyr.
It was a book much thicker than a standard dictionary, with the words 《The Encyclopedia of Plants》 written on the cover.
“Take it. It might be of help to you.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Although he didn't know why Edmond, who rarely interacted with reserves like them, would suddenly give him a book, Tyr still thanked him very gratefully.
“Go on back. I hope you make good use of the knowledge inside.”
Tyr knew this was a polite dismissal. After thanking him, he turned and left the pharmacy.
Carrying 《The Encyclopedia of Plants》 given by Edmond, Tyr wandered around outside for a bit longer.
In the end, feeling that there really was nowhere to stroll, he was about to head back to his dormitory to lie down for a while.
“Brother Tyr, what are you doing here?”
A crisp voice called out. Tyr turned his head and saw that the newcomer was Sevira.
At this moment, Sevira had just come out of the training field. Her delicate little face was still somewhat pale, and her clothes were stained with blood.
Honestly, with the amount of blood they lost every day, they would likely be anemic if they didn't have potions to replenish them.
“It's nothing. I was just a bit bored staying in the dormitory, so I came out for a walk.”
