Chapter 62: 62
From what John read on the scroll, the Supreme Battle Art required the Supreme Fighting Body to work, but John wanted to test whether the Eternal Asura Body was capable of using battle arts, and his testing was successful.
‘Although it is not the Highest Fighting Body, the Eternal Asura Body allows me to use this technique without losing efficiency and without flaws.’
The Supreme Battle Body not only strengthened the body enough to handle the rampaging force channeled throughout the body, it, but it slightly changed the body in a way that made it a requirement to use the Supreme Battle Art to its full effect. He also used his unique body Qi comprehension to cultivate his dantian. Other body cultivation techniques were unable to study the supreme battle body effectively, which drastically reduced the power released by the technique, but the Eternal Asura Body was different.
However, John decided to study the Supreme Fighting Body and see if he could learn anything from it.
‘Maybe by learning how to cultivate the Highest Combat Body but not actually do so, I can use the Supreme Combat Art more effectively. I also want to see how it piles up against the Eternal Asura Body. ‘
John spent the next few hours learning the cultivation technique and directing his Qi accordingly. Although he did not really cultivate it, he could sense the cultivation technique based on the depth of the teachings and the effect it had on his body.
A few hours later, John opened his eyes, an excited expression visible in his eyes.
‘Although this is only the first stage of the Supreme Fighting Body, I can say that the Eternal Asura Body is deeper. Not only was the Supreme Fighting Body not that deep, but the methods required to cultivate it were also quite extreme on the body. Only those who were truly body-fighting fanatics could survive with such a method. It seemed like the Asura Immortal Body was at a much higher level than the one available in the Sacred Land of the Yuan Continent. ‘
John could not help but be excited at this revelation. The deeper the Eternal Asura Body was, the stronger it allowed it to become in the future. Not only does John want to be strong, he wants to be the strongest. Anything to help is very important.
‘At first, my motivation to become stronger was based on a desire to achieve things I could only watch others accomplish. After I started cultivating, I was fascinated by the feeling of getting stronger, and fighting against those who were strong. But after Austin passed away, I realized the most important thing of all. Only by having the power can I control my destiny, and the destiny of those around me. Only by being strong can I truly be free and in control. ‘
After pondering the Supreme Combat Body for some time, John switched back to study the Supreme Combat Art.
‘For the first stage of the Supreme Battle Art, it mainly focuses on granting strength and a powerful force boost to the body. That leaves absolutely nothing to the defense, and focuses only on offensive power. Based on what I know, using the Supreme Fighting Body is quite taxing on the body, and it can only be used for about a minute before too large a load is charged on the body. Let's try it. ”
John took a wide position and took a deep breath, his focus consumed to execute the Supreme Combat Art. Qi started to surge wildly from his dantian body, through his meridians and into his muscles.
” Waah! ”
John suddenly became sudden.was sent flying forward after accidentally putting too much force into his leg, which pushed him forward After falling down several times, John finally stopped.
“This will be difficult to learn,” muttered John while standing up and cleaning dirt from his robe.
“I sent Qi to my leg according to his technique, but was unable to control my Qi and muscles properly during the fusion process, which resulted in me losing control and jumping forward. Let's try again!”
John once again started using the Supreme Combat Body technique, and once again lost control during the fusion of Qi into the muscles, so he fell down once again.
John tidied back his hair that had fallen in front of his face and thought of the technique once again.
‘When I used Qi to empower my body during my previous fight, I did it in its most basic form, which not only wasted almost all of the Qi I used, it was not, it also only increased my strength superficially, as most of that Qi was sent explosively to my extremities like my hands and weapons, instead of being fully utilized by my body and muscles. Back then, I most likely wasted over eighty percent of my body's Qi, so only twenty percent was used effectively. The Supreme Fighting Body allowed me to use nearly a hundred percent of my body Qi efficiently, but as a result, it was also much harder to control properly. Again!’
John spent the next four days studying the Supreme Fighting Body. His pitiful figure could be seen flying around the martial practice arena as he tried to properly control his Qi according to his technique.
On the fifth day.
A large rock located in John's backyard burst into pieces, revealing a smiling boy standing behind him.
“Succeed! I finally learned the technique!”
It took an entire five days, but John finally managed to learn to properly control the Supreme Fighting Body, which explosively added to his body's strength to a level that far exceeded his previous ability.
John looked further to the ground behind his mansion and saw another boulder in the distance.
‘I want to know ..’
A thought suddenly flashed across John's mind as he took a focused position and began to channel both his essence and body Qi into his feet.
Immediately after, the regretful figure saw it fall violently across the country before finally stopping. John hurriedly stood up with an excited expression on his face. Earlier, he had tried to improve the Five-Step Movement Technique, which was an essence movement technique, with the explosive physical strength of the Supreme Combat Art. Although they were two different systems, and even though he had failed, John could tell that it was entirely possible to increase the strength of both, which would result in a much faster movement technique.
“Although I failed, I knew it was possible to combine the two. All I need to do is set the time, where my movement technique will develop to a new level.”
Again, John spent the next day practicing using two techniques at the same time, and was able to fully incorporate both techniques into a single movement technique.
‘Success once again. This time, it was much easier to combine the two than to learn one of the techniques, because all I have to do is focus on the time and make sure that I set the time of my strong body movements with the Five Step Movement Technique at the same time.’ time
John practiced the technique throughout the rest of the day, ensuring that he was fully in control of it. The sun began to set as John heard someone approaching him from behind. John turned and saw his father approaching him.
“John, how was your training?” ask Barden.
“Very successful. I learned the Supreme Combat Art, as well as how to incorporate it into my Five-Step Movement Technique!”
Barden smiled and nodded his head. Utilizing the body and essence into one system was truly a good idea for John to do, and Barden was proud that his son had discovered this himself. His mind drifted to John's earlier comments, where he realized that John had never mentioned studying the Supreme Fighting Body, only the Supreme Combat Art. Barden was just about to ask this when John spoke up.
“So, why did you come to see me?”
Barden put his thoughts aside and responded to John instead. “I've come to tell you that we will be leaving for the tournament field tomorrow, as this tournament will last a few more days. Make sure you are ready to leave tomorrow morning.”
John nodded. “I'll be ready.”
“Good. Now go in and have dinner with your mother and me.”
“Good.”
John follows his father back to his house and enjoys a delicious dinner; the Golden Ox Stew, before leaving for his room and getting into bed. Just before he fell asleep, a firm thought about the tournament flashed through his mind.
‘Tournament is almost here. I have to win! ‘
