"There are three other hybrid techniques preserved in the Kidney Peak." The Peak Head stated.
Han Yu's attention sharpened further.
"The second," the old man said, "requires Metal affinity. It is called the Cold Steel Knight Technique. It forges the body and Qi into a weapon that is both unyielding and merciless. It produces terrifying frontline cultivators, but it demands absolute discipline."
Han Yu listened, mentally noting the name, though he knew it was not for him.
"The third requires Wind affinity," the Peak Head went on. "That art is known as the Polar Wind Destruction Art. Swift, ruthless, devastating. Those who practice it become calamities on the battlefield."
The old man stopped speaking.
A silence stretched between them.
Han Yu hesitated only a fraction of a second before asking, "And the last one?"
The Peak Head looked at him directly now.
"The final hybrid technique," he said slowly, "requires Darkness."
Han Yu's pulse spiked.
