Chapter 1016 Techniques
The sun hanging above shared its warmth to those beneath it as two figures could be seen having a spar in the massive yard of Terra Castle.
It was an intense duel between a young half-wolf and a white-haired old man. The two were fighting using swords, demonstrating their own understanding and interpretations of the broad discipline of swordsmanship.
With the powerful enhancements afforded by his [Fey Transformation] and [Immortal Gate – stage 6], Emery possessed decent speed which enabled him to put up a riveting fight against the experienced senior that of his opponent.
As his figure flickered in and out of space, Emery swung the dark sword in his hand towards his opponent. [Savage Sword] cut through the air, charging ferociously like blazing fire yet moving seamlessly like flowing water.
[36 Dao Divine Sword Technique]
Swissshhh Clank!!
The sage calmly blocked Emery’s sword with the very unique sword in his hand. It was a short sword, only one meter and twenty centimeter long, and made out of wood; it was merely a wooden sword, yet Emery’s Savage Sword couldn’t make a chip off it.
It looked extremely fragile, yet it could easily match Emery’s Tier 5 sword as if it was nothing. In fact, from the sound of it, it seemed to be able to perfectly absorb all of the power that Emery’s sword carried.
The battle continued, with Emery moving everywhere rapidly and attacking relentlessly while the sage kept blocking and neutralizing attacks thrown at him. It was apparent that he was trying his best to land an attack on his opponent.
Clank Clank!
Swisshhh!!
Seeing that Emery’s attack almost cut the hem of his clothes, a hint of appreciation flashed across Fuxi’s eyes as he opened his mouth.
“Good. I will move on to the next set now.”
Right after saying such words, Emery saw the ground around the sage suddenly shrouded in a bright light. In the next instant, Fuxi’s movement suddenly changed, turning into one unique variation that he had never seen.
[Hexagram Swords Technique]
In just seconds, Emery was overwhelmed by a series of sword strikes. His swift yet fluid attacks were unable to keep up the sage’s movements at all; the wooden sword in the latter’s hand easily negated any attempts he tried to make, while at the same time hitting various parts of his body multiple times.
“Argh!”
A groan escaped Emery’s mouth. His body began to receive cuts and bruises as the sage’s wooden sword was able to cut through the [Jade Skin] spell he cast upon himself as if it didn’t exist in the first place.
From afar, a girl seemed irritated by what she was seeing and shouted, “Left!! No, go left!!”
The girl’s voice actually helped Emery to block the first few attacks the sage sent at him, but soon enough the short-term benefit brought the long-term loss. While helping him at first, her voice ended up breaking Emery’s concentration, and he was rewarded with a knockdown by Fuxi as a result.
“I told you right, Emery! Why don’t you listen to me!?” shout the girl.
Emery could only shake his head with a smile. He definitely heard left earlier, but he didn’t blame the girl. He knew that the sage’s set that overwhelmed him – the third set – was still too much for the current him.
Fuxi stopped swinging his sword and called the two of them to come over before saying, “Don’t worry, Emery. It’s an eight trigram formation with a total of 384 variations. Memorizing all of them will definitely not be an easy task to achieve.”
As the sage spoke those words, the girl looked like she was about to protest. Hence Fuxi quickly added, “Well, you are one of those rare gifted ones, Klea. So your case is different from his.”
At the moment, Fuxi was teaching both Emery and Klea one of his most prized techniques, the [Hexagram Technique]. It was a divine technique that he created when he mastered all eight elements.
“This technique was created on the core principle of the Dao; one life two, two beget three, and three beget all things. Therefore it could prove to be useful for the two of you who are currently walking on the path of multiple laws.”
Unfortunately for Emery, he had a very difficult time memorizing all the variations that if it was not for his understanding of the [Dao Divine Technique], he would not understand the technique at all. Hence he couldn’t help but feel down about it.
On the other hand, Klea was able to memorize all of the variations in merely a day. Unfortunately, even though she had memorized the technique, her understanding of the Dao was still very shallow.
Truly, in this case, the two were the complete opposite of each other.
“Emery, if you manage to master this technique, it will definitely improve your sword technique tremendously since their roots are the same.” After saying those to Emery, Fuxi then turned to look at Klea and said, “In fact, this technique could be further perfected if performed by two people.”
At this moment, the sage suddenly let out a sigh. “If only you have talent in the way of the sword.” A hint of pity flashed in Fuxi’s face for a moment as he looked at her.
In the end, Fuxi gave Klea an item. It was a jade turtle shell that had mysterious markings on its back – [Mythical Tortoise]. The sage was hoping that using her tremendous talent, Klea would be able to master the formation of the 8 elements. Not only would the ability give more versatility to her arsenal, the steps she had to go through when learning it would further advance her ability to combine the elements with one another.
Looking at the two people he was teaching, Fuxi opened his mouth.
“One will deepen his understanding of the Dao, while the other will master the Eight Elements Formation; you two can make up for each other’s flaws and learn from each other along the way.”
Hearing those words, the image of spending weeks training with Emery appeared in Klea’s mind and it made her involuntarily blush. However, she quickly schooled her expression and bowed to the sage.
“Thank you, senior, for your teachings.”
Now that today’s training was over, the three then walked towards the other side of the castle where Chumo was currently training on top of a huge stone sitting in a lotus position with his eyes closed. Sitting not far from him was his trainer, the Merfolk little girl Naya.
At the moment, the two of them looked like they were basked in spirit aura.
When Fuxi approached, the little girl opened her eyes and said, “Father, as you expected, the boy has potential!”
The sage nodded his head in response. “That’s good then. Keep it up, Naya.”
Even though both Emery and Klea showed a confused look, Fuxi didn’t elaborate and continued on his steps. Realizing that there would not be any explanation, the coupled quickly caught up to their teacher.
The three of them headed to another yard where Julian and Thrax sparred against each other. When they got there, they were immediately greeted by the sound of grunts and metal clashing against each other. They could clearly see how the two of them were covered in sweat from top to bottom.
One excelled in offense, while the other specialized in defense. The clash between the two was a showdown between spear and shield, figuratively and literally. The two were clashing against each other, but surprisingly the Roman was the one dictating the battle.
With the combination of shield and hammer, Julian managed to fight what others would call effective combat which left practically no gaps in both offense and defense, causing an untold amount of annoyance for his opponent – the Thracian.
However, what made the Immortal Gladiator most irritated was the fact that the Roman was able to match his raw power. Something that the latter wasn’t able to do previously.
Battle power had been Thrax’s speciality since day one, and the fact that Julian was able to match his prowess with just the fifth stage of Immortal Gate while he was in the sixth stage confused him to no end.
Emery, however, knew Julian’s tremendous growth of battle power actually came from the fact that he had tempered his fleshly body in the facility the privileged class planet provided. This suddenly reminded Emery of the tempering facility to fulfill his promise with the dwarf master.
His thoughts then went towards the apothecary, thinking it to be one of the ways he could use to allow all his friends to grow much stronger in order to strengthen their preparations for the upcoming duels.
Before long, Yuria came and said that Lord Izta called them all to go to the hall. Hearing that, Fuxi muttered under his breath.
“I guess it’s time already,”
