He shook his head, his eyes fixed on Kyrian.
"I don't need them. A technique doesn't have to be the most powerful to be good. If you completely understand a simple tool, it can produce much better results than an extraordinary tool that you barely understand. Mastery lies in knowledge, not sophistication."
Kyrian nodded, understanding the wisdom behind the words.
"I understand."
"Then read. Absorb every word, every diagram, every explanation. When you finish, you'll know whether you're ready."
Kyrian opened the book, and its pages were filled with diagrams and explanations. Lines represented the paths of Qi through a weapon, showing how the energy should flow through the metal.
