Chapter 57: Practicing Martial Arts
"Fire Fist"
A red and hot fire covering a fist punched at the iron rod, creating a destructive force. After the hand was removed place on the iron rod where the fist was punched, starts melting. This was fei, he has reached the perfection of fire fist. Now he can even melt iron.
"Hu"
"Finally practiced Fire Fist to perfection" Saying this fei falls on the ground on his butt, sitting for a while. After taking some rest he got up again to practice new martial art. This time, he took out Six Metal Swords.
After reading the book, he memorized all words inside it. Fei then starts thinking 'All these martial arts I am practicing requires the same attributed cultivation technique otherwise no matter how good is my Spirit roots. I can't always fill my dantian with it. I need cultivation technique to change my normal spirit roots into attributed spiritual qi.'
'For now, I have Blazing Sun Fire Technique and Mount Everest Snow Peak Art. I can get Thousand Cauldron Refining Metal Art from home, as for others let's see do I truly need it. For now, I should practice my martial arts then I will cultivate cultivation art. I should also look for a chance to become Alchemist and Weapon Refinement.'
With some thought, his attention was once again drawn to Six Metal Swords. There were six strokes in it. Each stroke was on twinkling star end position, at the edge of the pentagon diagram. But the last stroke is in the middle. Fei stands in the middle of the room. He lifts his sword pointing at the front, and then moved. He first moves at each end of the pentagon, and then he moved in the middle. Although he had only one sword, five more silver sword bodies were created without hilt on each side.
At the final stroke, all six sword strikes at the same time from different places. Although it only hit air one could say if it is a big target, opponent would get no place to dodge. Those swords created at the edge of pentagon shape were created by metal qi produced by his spiritual roots. Now he hasn't practice any attributed cultivation technique, his martial arts couldn't produce powerful damage.
But this isn't something he was worried about. He could practice cultivation techniques any time he wanted. So, he just focuses on perfecting Six Metals Swords Art. While he was practicing he let Ling'er do something for him.
Previously before practicing Six Metal Swords, he was thinking of Dragon Steps. But later when he read content on it, he felt something amiss. He remembered having Air Steps that he got from a disciple of the Mountain and River Sect.
Air Steps is a very powerful martial art because it requires strong leg force to operate. To use Air Steps, one needs to train his leg to the point where he can kick air to fly. This is called Air Steps. Stepping on-air with powerful leg force, kicking on air to fly.
But Dragon Steps were completely different, this is lightness art where a person can manipulate air to fly faster rather than stepping on air. So he decided to mix these to art to create something even more powerful art.
Fei was still practicing Six Metal Swords.
He practiced for two days straight before completing it to perfection. Now fei could launch powerful strokes with fast speed and accuracy. He didn't continue to practice it to the Fine and Detailed realm. He simply finished the practice of Six Metal Swords then starts new Dragon Steps which is renamed Air Dragon Steps.
He first trains his legs by running or standing on powerful gravity for five days. After that, he starts practicing Air Dragon Steps. He starts by kicking on the air. He followed instructions on Air Dragon Steps. He failed many times at least more than a hundred times. After three days of practice, he could at least stand on air.
He practiced for another two days before he could walk on air. Finally, he caught up to the last steps of Air Dragon Steps i.e. to manipulate the air around his leg to accelerate faster. For this, he followed the same idea of Wind Legs where he manipulates air around his feet and travels very fast. Of course, he couldn't walk on air with Wind Legs.
This is the drawback of Wind Leg that he wanted to improve as for wind wings, they were also made by manipulating wind but this manipulation was not through qi or technique instead comes from blood. It is also not a bloodline but the ability of Golden Roc Beast. So using this art will consume his blood and energy which is not good for the cultivator unless he is a pure body refiner.
Fortunately, he was refining his body most of the time. He practiced Air Dragon Steps for a total of twenty days for making it to perfection. Both Dragon Steps and Air Steps were the most difficult art of two different sects.
Only a handful of disciples would choose such art and practice it. So now mixing two arts in one would obviously difficult to practice. Although it took long enough now fei do not have to use blood and energy, only a small amount of qi would be enough to use this martial art.
After Air Dragon Steps, he starts practicing Bronze Bell Cover. After reading the content of Bronze Bell Cover, he felt silent for some time. Then he suddenly moves spiritual qi around his body and motivates Five Elements, Spiritual Art. Five Elements Origin absorbed spiritual qi from his dantian and produced five long threads of five different elements.
He let his spiritual roots consume four threads but he draws silver thread out of his body. Running Bronze Bell covers his body, silver qi slowly moves out of his pores but instead of being silver now it was in bronze color.
Bronze color qi covers his whole body as a shield. To check the quality of this martial art, fei called little Yan and let little Yan strike on fei. At first little Yan denied but after convincing with another martial art practice, little Yan decided to do it.
After all, little Yan loved martial art but he loved his father more. Even just after the first meeting, he accepted fei as his father. The reason why he did it was simply that he loved martial art but his mother won't let him do it. That is why little Yan loves fei so much.
Little Yan caught the hilt of his sword. He believes even if he went heavy on his father, he can't hurt him, so he decided to use Sword Drawing Style.
He moved as if he transmitted from one point to another, he reached in front of fei. He had a sword in his hand slashing towards fei. Seeing this fei just let smile, he draw silver qi from his dantian. Silver qi turned bronze qi covering his body in the shape of a bell.
"Bang"
Sword strikes against the shield. Little Yan retreats a little, he got surprised when he saw an intact shield in front of him. His attack didn't even scratch his father's shield.
At this moment, fei was thinking 'So my guess was right. Elements qi produced directly by the help of Five Elements Origin is much pure than my spiritual roots. I can let my spiritual qi refined by the Five Elements Origin then instead of letting it sucked by my spiritual roots; I can store it inside my dantian. When I cultivate attributed cultivation technique then quantity and quality of my attributed spiritual qi inside my dantian will increase by several folds.'
After seeing the effect of his martial art, he decided to perfect it. Father and Son practiced for three more days until fei mastered it where his son awaken the concept of the wind element.
He still underestimated little Yan talent. Just by practicing Sword Drawing Style for three days straight awakened his wind element. Of course, there was a big helping hand of fei on it. The little Yan concept reached the first level then he decided to let little Yan out of the pagoda.
After sending little Yan out, fei decided to practice cultivation art leaving his only soul art intact. He starts with Blazing Sun Fire Technique.
He starts a chant of Blazing Sun Fire Technique 'Creating an egg of flame, letting it grow with the power of flames, flame dragon roars burning the sky like a blazing fire'
This technique is divided into thirteen stages: starting from Flame Egg to Blazing Dragon. Fei needs to use Blazing Dragon Pill with his Flame concept to create Flame Egg on his dantian. He took out Blazing Dragon Pill given as a reward, stuffing it in his mouth. After blazing fire entered his dantian through the meridian, it starts melting. Dantian is located at two fingers down the navel. There is a main or supreme blood vein that has opened four supreme meridians on it.
Meridian is a space point on blood veins. Not all blood veins contain meridian only some powerful veins. Spiritual qi is very dangerous for it to follow through blood veins which are why meridians are required to open after reaching Qi Refining Stage.
Blazing Dragon pill in his dantian let powerful fire spiritual qi out.
