Location- Sky Blossom City, Southern Watch military base.

"It appears that the creation of both the origin cards will be pushed to a later date until the ingredients for them are made available." Said Anna. Hearing her, the three young soldiers thought about how long their torment would last. They wanted to get done with it as soon as possible, like removing a band-aid in one go.

"Um," I nodded, hearing Anna. Now that the matters regarding my new clients have been arranged to a certain extent. I could move on to my other project, the Array Formation hack card that I wanted to create. Turning to Susan and Corey, I said, "let's head back."

…

"Van, have you reached the southern academic city already?" I checked up on Van and his team.

"Yea, boss. We are about to contact our source in the southern academic city and find Ronnie's whereabouts." Van answered, reporting his group's status.

"Good, be careful. And if you find a card overlord or higher realm card apprentice, do not hesitate to retreat. And keep me updated." I warned Van to be careful. Southern Academic city is not a third-rate city like Sky blossom city. It is a first-tier city where card overlords and card kings are as common as card masters and card lord realm in the sky blossom city. Therefore Van and his crew need to be discreet when they hunt the people of Bob butcher to retrieve my thousand armed butcher origin card.

"Yes, boss," Van acknowledged my commands.

Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association mall, Warehouse no.234

"It was one hectic morning," I said as I sat on the couch, preparing to go through the material given by Lorenzo on Array formation.

"Yes," Susan Agreed with me.

"Boss, I will use the card lab to create the twin demon dragon body arts," Corey reported. She was going back to work as soon as we returned to the warehouse.

"Go use the card lab that your grandpa built for you. I will use this card lab after going through these materials on Array formation." I asked Corey to use her fancy card lab in her card studio because I would be using mine pretty soon.

"Okay." Corey headed towards the warehouse next door.

"And Corey, one more thing." I suddenly called Corey, remembering that I needed her help with one particular thing.

"What is it, boss?" Corey stepped in her path and turned to face me.

"I wanted some martial arts cards for myself," I answered. Corey was the only stable source of A-rank close combat arts in the blossom district. After much thought, I decided to buy close combat cards from Corey as they seemed very reliable when I used them to make Kane's origin card.

"Martial arts cards? You have come to the right place." Corey said excitedly as she took out a stack of martial arts cards she and her ego fire created.

"Corey, not those. They are generic. I want something more than that. Suitable for my strength." I asked Corey to create a custom martial card just for me and my physique.

"Um… I see you want the good stuff. But that is going to be expensive." Said Corey.

"Doesn't matter. As long as it satisfies my requirements, I am willing to pay the appropriate price." I answered Corey. Telling her that money wasn't the problem.

"So what are you prefer? Body arts, Foot work, lightweight technique, sword arts, or other weapon techniques." Corey agreed to create a custom martial art for me. And provided me with an option for each of them.

"One of each! Give me the complete set." I replied. I wanted the whole set because the martial cards will prove an excellent way for me to use the full strength of my body.

"Really? Okay. As long as you pay enough, I don't care." Said Corey casually.

"So which martial arts do you think would suit me best? Do you have anything in your mind or not?" Corey Park was a treasure trove of martial arts and techniques. I hoped she had one suitable for me.

"You have a very strong physique, but you also showcase strong 'active soul control talent.' Your body is like it is made for killing, a killing machine to be exact." Said Corey, and then, thinking for a while. She added, "Martial Arts are meant to defend oneself. But some martial arts were explicitly made to kill and slaughter. But such martial arts demand high talent and physique. You possess both of them. So choose what you want to be a killing machine or a defender."

Corey's words became more and more profound. And her eyes turn amber red, and That's when she is not Corey but Corey park.

"Hello, Park. Long time no see." I greeted Corey park.

"For you, maybe. But I see you daily from within Corey's core." Said Corey Park.

"Okay, what do you suggest would be the best for me?" I asked Corey Park.

"If you want to uncover the full potential of your physique and talent, I suppose you should go with the Martials Arts made to kill. But the path is yours to choose. I cannot choose for you." Corey Park answered honestly.

Martial art cards are unique, and most people claim that if you achieve Sage-level proficiency in one of them, your strength will grow, and you can break the restraint of the realm. It is believed that those who have Sage-level proficiency in a martial art can fight leapfrog and kill the opponent.

"Okay, I will go with the Martial arts meant for killing." I went through great trouble to get my current physique. It would be a waste not to use it to its full potential. Therefore I decided to go with the cruel martial arts meant for killing.

"Good choice because only weak people chose martial arts are for self-defense. Strong use the martial arts to conquer the world and dominate the planes. So you should use it for what you want it for."
