Big Phantom Sound

Before knowing her real name, Garen named her Forbidden Training Method, which came from the very idea that it was a training method that was forbidden.

"It came from an ancient Inheriting sect that used to be glorious for a while. Their pilots used tones as their attacking weapons. At the same time, what was more outstanding about them was that they could achieve long-distance resonance communication technique even at this kind of low level."

Thanks to the information of this Method Garen understood the future and philosophical of Willpower Cultivation after Level Five. Although it was incomplete and only went up to the end of Level Seven in explication and only allowed to go up to Willpower Level Five.

## Overview

The main parts involved were the back, legs, and head. With each level up, it would increase the Mech's Reflex, Endurance, and Recovery by a level each. Reflex was a skill that temporarily increased the Pilot's sudden movements by increasing the response of the Pilot's nerves. This would increase the reaction time of the Pilot and Mech as a whole.

On the other hand, Endurance was similar to what the Red-White Mech had showcased, where it would increase its lifespan by reducing its energy lost via energy channeling. It would increase the lifespan of the reserved energy and hence Endurance. This meant that it could ensure the Mech retained mobility for as long as possible.

As for Recovery, it was the core of the training method. Before this, Garen had never heard of a training method that could heal on its own. This unique ability was exclusive only to the Inherited Mech. The Inherited Mech could be best described as a Mech that had gained life. As long as it had energy, it would have the ability to slowly regenerate itself.

This training method surprisingly had the Recovery ability from the very beginning, which was to say that it was the most powerful aspect of the training method. Garen could also feel that the reason why the Forbidden Core had given him this training method was that it would not clash with his Crouched Eagle Talon.

**'Forbidden Training Method: Level Two achieved** (a total of five levels, Incomplete), Reflexes advanced to Level Two, Endurance advanced to Level Two, Self-repairing advanced to Level Two. Involving the back, both legs, and the head.'

Garen felt the changes of the attributions after they had advanced, not just from those that were indicated, but also from those that were not marked out. A whole new Willpower had condensed in his inner body core within the Willpower of Crouched Eagle Talon. It was slowly moving in a circular flow by itself, like the nature of rivers.

Five potential points had vanished due to the advancement. Garen looked at the remaining fifteen points and decided to use them all up in a go. He pored over the Forbidden Training Method. The icon of the training method instantly blurred. This time, it did not clear up even after a number of seconds but remained hazy.

After half a minute, the icon of the training method finally became visible once more. It was not the former pitch-black patch anymore but a fluttering four-winged bird. Similar to an eagle, the four-winged bird had sharply curved claws and looked as if it was diving to catch something. Garen gazed at the progress.

**'Forbidden Training Method: Level Five** (a total of five levels, Incomplete), Reflexes, Endurance, and Self-repairing Level Five, resulting in special derivative strength: ***Heart of Endurance*** – greatly improving the effects of Self-repairing, level of amplification reached level one. The strength of Self-Repairing is now at Level Six standard.'

"Heart of Endurance?" Garen frowned a little as he thought of a vague possibility. "Does this mean that for better quality training methods, arriving at a certain level would yield this kind of derivative strength?"

Due to the lack of information in this area, he could not compare it with other higher level training methods. Nonetheless, the power shown by the training method given by the Forbidden Core had surpassed his expectations.

If this training method focused on one of these attributions: explosiveness, speed, or strength, reaching this level would be terrific because the force produced together by three Level Fives was unimaginable.

After standing on the training grounds for some time, Garen let out a small breath. Around him, there was a sudden burst of faint air-waves. If someone were to inspect closely, they would realize that those were not air-waves but a pure energy field that was spreading out towards the surroundings. This could only happen when the Willpower had reached a certain level of purity. It was also the hallmark of a Level Five pilot. Someone at Level Four might be able to master the energy field and spread it out all over their body surface to fight against the enemy. However, it was a different case for Level Five. The most formidable strength of the Level Five pilot was that the energy field could be dispersed through the mech. Every type of Willpower Energy Field had its own unique special effect, just like Internal Force, where both had exclusive corrosive power. And so, when used by itself, even the gentlest Willpower would have an effect on the enemy although its properties would be different.

Garen paid close attention to the feeling of the flow, immense amount and purity of Level Five Willpower. After releasing it for a while, he swiftly collected it back and enveloped it using Level Four Crouched Eagle Talon's Willpower.

To advance from Level Four to Level Five, the common pilots would usually need a couple of years to break through to another level because this involved the matter of will. Garen, however, did not need to worry about it because from the Soul Will point of view, Garen was still stronger than the common pilot in this area even though he was not of the same system.

"Looks like I'll need some time to adjust to this new strength," Garen opened his palms. There were still strands of Willpower force field that he could not contain emanating from the edge of his palms. This was due to the unconscious dissipation of the sudden spike in Willpower.

It was just like when a person gained Herculean strength all of a sudden; when he lifted a cup with the same amount of strength he usually used, the cup would instantly be shattered.

As he quietly practiced the control of Willpower, Garen was able to hold in the force field of the new Willpower. People generally would need years of work to arrive at this step but Garen did not have this issue.

## Effects

Ever since he had leveled up that nameless Forbidden Training Method, he'd felt that his body and mind were constantly being restored. After using Secret Techniques to examine, he was surprised to discover that all the hidden injuries sustained from his previous practices were being repaired through the vibration of the Willpower from this training method. It followed the most natural and harmonious way of blending into the body to become as one.

It was like bringing along medical equipment so that even the minor wounds could be treated anytime.
