'Now, with this amount of knowledge points, I am certain that I will be able to comprehend at least two of the techniques or skills.'
He silently thought in both excitement and anticipation of comprehending his first profound technique.
At this time, Randy had already taken a shower, eaten his dinner with his mother and sister and immediately came to his room to check on things regarding the comprehension of techniques before sleeping since tomorrow was Monday and he had to sleep early or perhaps not.
He does not care much about school right now, since the one thing he does not need to worry about was his academic grades.
Before he had to worry about not having his own innate ability or type of energy, however at this moment, he had both of these things and then some.
And so, what matters right now was comprehending a profound technique that will be crucial to surviving anything unexpected that may come his way.
Although there are barriers erected around every district in this world, but nevertheless, that only prevented the sudden invasion of hordes of beasts and not prevent the sudden appearance of dimensional rifts.
The only thing that one had to not worry about much was the dimensional gates or dungeons.
As those were usually used to trap monsters or whatever creature on the other side from coming over to this side for a certain amount of duration.
And when nobody manages to clear the dungeon during the provided time limit, only then will a dungeon break occur and monsters or whatever that is on the other side will pour out of the gate.
The various scientific departments had somehow managed to predict some rifts ahead of time, but not all rifts were predictable like the one he ran into the other day, thus there are usually casualties as a result.
This was because most civilians do not have combat experience even if they had a powerful awakened ability and so, they inevitably end up dying to the creatures that pour out of the rifts.
This was one of the reasons why profound techniques were priceless and only universities owned by the government or independent organizations, like sects provide them to their students.
With that thought in mind, Randy looked into the void of space, at the Record icon on the status screen in front of him.
Using his mind he selected the icon and then a drop down list appeared.

And after thinking for a bit, Randy then requested in his mind: 'System, can you display how much knowledge points I need to comprehend the current skills and techniques?'
Immediately after asking, the displayed lists suddenly changed with a few more words and numbers appearing next to the skills and techniques.

Seeing the amount of knowledge points needed to comprehend the skills and techniques, Randy was left speechless for a long while and even his mouth was left wide opened as he felt like his supposed effort today was nothing in front of this exorbitant amount of knowledge points needed to comprehend just the techniques alone.
"What the fuck!"
Seeing this, he could not help but curse out loud from the sudden frustration, however that was only momentarily as he soon calmed down when he saw that the situation was not completely hopeless.
Since he saw that he could at least learn the technique[RD1] that he wanted to comprehend the most among the less exorbitant techniques.
Void Rippling Punch!
The amount of knowledge points needed was only '1000 Knowledge Points.'
It was the least amount of knowledge points among the skills and techniques, heck it was tremendously less than the amount of knowledge points needed for the second less exorbitant technique, Mountain Cleaving Strike.
At this point, Randy could not help but ask with a deep frown on his face: "System, why is it more expensive to learn the skills than the techniques?"
[[The techniques were something created by mortal through their profound comprehension of the laws of the world and thus comprehending these techniques does not require much Knowledge Points as compared to skills since they were more compatible to mortals or more precisely it was created to be comprehended by mortals in the first place. However, the skills were derived from the laws of the through fulfilling certain conditions or have the right aptitude and thus it requires more Knowledge Points if a mortal wanted to comprehend them without fulfilling the above mentioned.]]
The system instantly replied to his question while also giving crucial information.
"So that is how it is."
Randy nodded in understanding and decided not to pursue the matter for now since it is not important right now.
'Alright, then I would like to comprehend the 'Void Rippling Punch.' How do I do so?' Randy then asked.
[[The host only needed to concentrate his mind on the specific technique or skill that you would like to comprehend, and the system will take care of the rest]]] The system said to him.
Upon hearing that, Randy immediately concentrated mind and focused his attention on the 'Void Rippling Punch' technique on the displayed screen.
And very soon…
[[Would you like to spend 1000 Knowledge Points to comprehend the technique, 'Void Rippling Punch'?]] The system prompted.
'Yes.' Randy replied without hesitation.
What is there to hesitate for?
He had purposely risk his life to accumulate these knowledge points all in order to finally comprehend a profound technique that many in their years sought after but could not obtain.
A moment after his reply, Randy suddenly felt dazed out as he could feel so much information abruptly appearing in his mind as if they had been there since eons ago and he had only recalled them just now.
This may be an exaggeration but that was how Randy felt like at this moment in time since it seemed like he could not forget this 'recalled' memory and knowledge even if he wanted to at this point.
And after that, a series of fist techniques and how to execute them appearing inside his mind.
Right now, at this moment, he had fully understood the essence of this technique and could fully execute it as long as his physical condition matches the requirements needed to execute the technique successfully.
Randy soon closed his eyes to immerse himself in this extraordinary experience as he replayed the series of fist techniques in his mind for an untold amount of times before abruptly opening his eyes with an enlightened expression.
"How wondrous…" He muttered in admiration, recalling his experience just now.
A moment later…
[[You have fully comprehended the technique, 'Void Rippling Punch']]
The system immediately announced.
