Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Chapter 481

Yvette narrowed her dark eyes a bit, lifting her eyelids, her eyes as clear as water and bright as stars. She said plainly, "Kash will win."

Just then, Jeremiah finished peeling an apple and placed the whole peel on the table. Emmett glanced at it, marveling at how Jeremiah, who never used to peel apples, had become so proficient at it for Yvette. The apple peel looked like a piece of art, truly fitting his skill. Jeremiah handed the peeled apple to Yvette and glanced at Samantha, Charles, and Emmett. "Even though the Eagle King is powerful in ancient combat power when it comes to pure physical strength and stamina, Kash is much better. In a bare-handed fight, without using inner energy, the Eagle King is bound to lose."

Samantha continued, "What if the Eagle King uses his ancient combat power?"

Yvette took a bite of the apple, crossed her legs, and stretched comfortably. She casually said, "It's evenly matched, but the Eagle King has a slight advantage."

Ancient combat techniques had always been quite mysterious and were almost lost to time, with very few practitioners. The ancient combat techniques focused on calming the mind and concentrating energy, similar to the inner strength practiced by ancient people. The stronger the ancient combat power became, the deeper the internal strength was.

To train in ancient combat techniques, many were disqualified from the start due to their physique. Furthermore, the more advanced techniques were hidden within busy city sects or passed down in families that had guarded them for centuries. Only a few individuals had the privilege to learn these skills, and such knowledge was rarely shared outside.

Jeremiah was sent at a young age by Jase to the Watwoz to train for five years, inheriting generations of dedication and top-level ancient combat techniques.

Emmett was adopted by the Chavez family from a young age, primarily because his one-in-a-million physique made him an ideal candidate for practicing ancient combat power. As a result, Jase and Jeremiah sent him to train in these skills.

Eagle King had an incredible stroke of luck. As a child, he begged alongside an old beggar, who turned out to be an ancient combat expert, imparting ancient combat techniques to him, shaping the Eagle King everyone knew today.

In today's age of modern weaponry, with missiles, rockets, bombs, and machine guns having so much power, ancient combat power might seem less important. However, those who had truly practiced understood its true value.

Compared to regular people, those who practice ancient combat power could easily live twenty years longer than the average person. They were generally healthy, with their organs sustained by their ancient combat breathing techniques, making them even less likely to suffer from any major illnesses.

Moreover, without weapons, someone skilled in ancient combat power could take on hundreds or even thousands of opponents. For experts like Yvette and Jeremiah, facing ten thousand people was not out of the question.
