Though Wyatt wasn't able to perfectly replicate the gains of his primordial spirit by emulating its enlightenment from its memories, he wasn't saddened. In fact, he considered his experiment a complete success. Without hesitation, he emulated the enlightenment again and again until there was nothing more he could gain from it. By the end, Wyatt not only replicated his primordial spirit's achievements on the Martial Path but surpassed them.

So what if one student was a slow learner? A teacher could send that student to remedial classes to catch up, or, if the parents could afford it, they could hire a tutor. Similarly, Wyatt persisted in emulating the enlightenment until he fully grasped it and no longer needed it. As a result, Wyatt became more well-versed in the Martial Path- or so he thought-than his primordial spirit.

Wyatt now understood why his primordial spirit was dissatisfied with the footwork it had created. It was correct. If executed properly with their regular Card

Grandmaster-level strength, the footwork should have allowed them to walk on water. It's important to note that walking on water in this context referred purely to the use of physical power, unaided by soul energy or any other external tricks.

The footwork martial art created by his primordial spirit was of mortal grade and made no use of soul energy. It relied entirely on raw physical power. His primordial spirit had designed it to complement the boundless nature of their will. As a result, despite being a mortal-grade martial art, the footwork's prowess scaled with the user's physical strength. When applied with sufficient physical power, the technique could enable the user not only to step on water but also, theoretically, to walk on air. With this understanding, Wyatt realized why his primordial spirit repeatedly failed to achieve the desired results using the footwork. It was because, like Wyatt himself, it struggled to bend their Card Grandmaster-level body the way they could bend their mortal body. During combat training, they had thoroughly explored the limits and capabilities of their mortal forms, learning to manipulate them at will. However, the same could not yet be said for their current Card Grandmaster body.

They could have used their unlocked abilities to bridge the gap, but the primordial spirit refused to take that shortcut. Instead, it chose the harder yet more correct path: to understand the limits and strength of their new body so thoroughly that it could apply them with maximum efficiency. This approach would not only allow it to achieve the desired results with the footwork as a Card Grandmaster but also push its

potential beyond its imagination.

Witnessing this level of diligence and determination, Wyatt began to question whether he had truly surpassed his primordial spirit on the Martial Path. Perhaps he hadn't even caught up to it yet, let alone outdone it.

Humbled by his primordial spirit's diligence, Wyatt concluded his experiment on a positive note, having fully digested its enlightenment until there was nothing more for him to learn. When he looked around, he was greeted by the sight of his clone running through the air nearly thirty feet high, climbing even higher as it tested its limits. With each step, the primordial spirit exerted a forceful downward pressure, generating an upward thrust that allowed it to continue ascending. This feat was made possible by its exceptional body balance. Though astonished by the display, Wyatt wasn't surprised.

In a short time, the primordial spirit had managed to understand the strength and limits of their Card Grandmaster body well enough to use its self-created, mortal-grade movement technique to walk in the air. Thanks to its diligence and natural affinity for the Martial Path, it had accomplished even more than it originally set out to achieve.

Shaking his head, Wyatt once again immersed himself in its memories from a first-person perspective, using the shortcut to better understand the strengths and limits of his Card Grandmaster body. He replayed the memory in a loop until he was certain he had learned all there was to gain from it. Remarkably, Wyatt managed to comprehend what his primordial spirit had deduced in a shorter time than it had taken the spirit itself.

Armed with his newfound understanding of his body, Wyatt executed the primordial spirit's self-created footwork and climbed through the air faster than the primordial spirit itself, even though it was his first time performing the technique. Repeatedly emulating its memories had prepared him well. Sensing his approach, the primordial spirit was shocked to see him replicate its martial art even better than it had. Looking at the dumbfounded expression on the primordial spirit's face and the disbelief in its eyes, Wyatt shook his head and said,

"I learned it by emulating your memories. You can also try it. But there's a limit to how much one can learn that way. This was only possible because of your diligence and dedication. Thank you. I hope you'll continue to support me in the future!"

Now that Wyatt understood the value of his primordial spirits better, he vowed not to make the same mistakes twice. He explained the reason for his rapid progress and sincerely thanked the primordial spirit for its help, encouraging it to keep up the good work.

The primordial spirit stepped in place repeatedly to stay aloft waiting for its master. Wyatt neared it and mirrored its actions, hovering in the air their eyes met. The primordial spirit stared into Wyatt's eyes and asked, "No games. Do you really mean

it?"

Unlike Wyatt, who could freely access the memories of his primordial spirits, the reverse was not possible unless he allowed it. Even if he did, he could alter the memories or selectively show only what he wanted them to see. Knowing Wyatt's history of pettiness and having experienced it firsthand, the primordial spirit dared not trust his words so easily and sought confirmation.

"Yes, I do," Wyatt replied firmly. "I'm not just saying it. My actions from now on will reflect that. Also, you can choose a name for yourself-something you like-but I will call you Martial Mad." Wyatt offered the spirit the freedom to choose its own name while affectionately expressing his intent to call it Martial Mad.

"So be it. From now on, I am Martial Mad," the primordial spirit announced.
