He didn\'t expect Elder Yorem to be so bold and decisive in making such a large promise. If he wanted, he could request Elder Yorem to become his backer in the Martial Hall.

However, actually doing so would lower Elder Yorem\'s opinion of him and hurt their relationship. As such, he couldn\'t do that. Building up their relationship was more beneficial to his plans.

Nevertheless, Vaan still had to make some adjustments to his plan due to Elder Yorem\'s promise.

After all, Elder Yorem\'s promise was guaranteed to be his.

Meanwhile, Acharon\'s smugness grew as Elder Yorem picked a random book off the shelf to test Vaan\'s martial knowledge. He couldn\'t wait to see Elder Yorem reveal Vaan\'s pathetic lie.

How dare he boast such an obvious lie? Did he think learning martial arts was as easy as breathing?

"Revolving Gale Palm, huh?" Elder Yorem checked the name before flipping open the mid-rank palm art manual, which was only a few dozen pages long, and reading through it.

A normal person would take at least an hour to finish reading it, three to seven days to memorize it, and an average of three months to master it. The content wasn\'t detailed compared to most martial manuals or scriptures, making it slightly harder to master.

However, the concept was simple. As such, the Revolving Gale Palm was considered moderately difficult. It was not too hard and easy to learn; it was just right to test someone.

"Since you claimed you already read through all these martial books, why don\'t you tell me what this Revolving Gale Palm is about?" Elder Yorem casually quizzed Vaan with a vague sense of expectation.

"Understood, Elder Yorem," Vaan acknowledged.

"The Revolving Gale Palm is a mid-rank palm art with the concept of utilizing the air to lock one\'s opponent briefly in place, making it impossible for them to evade the follow-up palm strike. The air-

locking force is generated by a particular set of air-weaving with one\'s hand."

"If a martial warrior relies on pure strength and speed to execute this palm art, the destructive power of the palm strike would still be strong, but its original wind aspect would have limited effect against an opponent of the same level.

Bam!

As Vaan explained the intricacy of the Revolving Gale Palm, he casually provided a demonstration by striking out after weaving the air. The air crackled like lightning the moment he thrust his palm. It almost seemed like he broke the sound barrier in that instant.

Nevertheless, although the air current was invisible, everyone nearby felt the powerful gust that swirled around his palm. It wasn\'t a strong suction force to those facing it, but it existed.

"The true strength of this palm art can only be realized with the addition of aura. Without aura, it\'s just a strong palm and not a real Revolving Gale Palm," Vaan nonchalantly added.

Elder Yorem and the nearby martial students were dumbfounded by Vaan\'s demonstration. They forgot about the testing and froze in a state of awe.

Many of them had either seen or tried to learn the Revolving Gale Palm before. However, none of them had seen an aura-less Revolving Gale Palm like Vaan\'s. The wind effect, although still too weak to be effective, was much stronger than any other aura-less Revolving Gale Palm known to them.

That was still the Revolving Gale Palm?

According to the martial manual of the palm art, that was definitely what a Revolving Gale Palm should look like! It was a Revolving Gale Palm that had been executed perfectly!

Only someone who spent twenty years mastering this palm art could possibly replicate such a feat!

But who on earth would be willing to spend twenty years just to master a mere mid-rank palm art to perfection?

Berucha wondered if Vaan secretly had webbed fingers or not.

After all, how could he be so good at catching the wind with his hand otherwise? Moreover, did all martial arts look this pretty when mastered to the zenith?

It was like a work of art – simply beautiful.

Unwittingly, Vaan\'s casual demonstration inspired multiple martial students to learn the Revolving Gale Palm. They wanted to be able to execute a flawless Revolving Gale Palm just like his.

Meanwhile, Arachon\'s expression turned ugly.

Unexpectedly, Vaan truly knew something about the Revolving Gale Palm and even executed it flawlessly. Perhaps he really was genuine about martial arts and had already learned all the martial knowledge in this book section.

But if that was true, Duke Zaahir\'s faction possessing such amazing talent was not good for Duke Gamliel\'s faction.

Vaan could become a huge threat to them.

But before Acharon could think about the future, he had to worry about himself. He didn\'t know what kind of request Vaan would make to Elder Yorem.

What if he ended up banned from the Martial Arts Repository instead? After all, he did try to get the other person banned from it. Thus, there was a possibility of the person returning tit for tat.

"That was an amazing Revolving Gale Palm indeed. However, it\'s not enough," Elder Yorem said before picking out a different martial art from the bookshelf, seemingly unsatisfied.

However, Elder Yorem\'s dissatisfaction had nothing to do with the authenticity of Vaan\'s claim in question. In his heart, he had already completely believed Vaan\'s claim. Even so, he still wanted to see if Vaan had also perfected any other martial art.

After testing Vaan on a mid-rank fist art, finger art, and movement art, Elder Yorem and the nearby martial students, who had grown into a crowd of sixty, were completely in awe of his talents, especially Elder Yorem.

Elder Yorem was excited to see such a peerless talent join the Martial Hall. Still, he had to keep up his image.

"Ahem, the truth has been laid bare before everyone\'s eyes. There\'s no more room for doubts. You have certainly proven yourself, Martial Student Vanderlin," Elder Yorem solemnly confirmed before saying, "And so, I will honor my promise. Speak. What kind of request do you want to make?"

"I wonder…" Vaan softly muttered, inadvertently looking in Acharon\'s direction with a vague smile, causing the latter\'s heart to tense with a bad feeling.

However, just when everyone thought Vaan would get his revenge, he made a rather normal yet unexpected request, surprising everyone.
