Fighting For Eternity

Chapter 56: Martial Arts Realms and their power

After receiving every reward he needs, he returns back. When he entered the house, he saw Hao'er and White lotus were chatting with each other while on the background little Yan was practicing sword without any rest. Seeing hard working little Yan, fei felt he hasn't given much time to little Yan.

Little Yan was just seven years old but still very sensible. Most of the time fei is busy on cultivation, he never disturbs fei. So fei felt he should give some time to his son. He walked towards the background.

"Little Yan" Fei called from behind

"Father" Hearing fei call him, little Yan sheath his sword, running towards fei giving fei a big hug.

"You have been practicing sword very hard lately" Fei talk while gently stroking little Yan head.

"After father gave me his precious, I kept this sword in very well condition but later I found a talking spirit inside the sword. He said sword is not for keeping but to draw. He also said father use to practice sword every free time he got and I should do the same" Little Yan innocently said looking at his father's face with an admiring look.

"Well he is right" Fei nodded with a smile then continued again "How about practicing new art with me?"

"Really" Little Yan was surprised first then gives another hug to fei saying "Father is the best"

"Well I am also starting from the beginning, so let's start" Fei nodded and use the system to learn Sword Control Technique.

Technique and Art are the same except some exceptions, for this sword art and technique are the same. This Sword Control Technique made of wind and water nature not an attribute but nature. This sword art is consisting of soft and hard concept which is related with water since water is soft as well as hard. It is related with wind because it's fast, very fast.

It is divided into two parts: Sword Drawing Style consisting concept of wind and Sword Controlling Style consisting concept of water.

Sword Drawing Style is a one-hit kill. When cultivators draw the sword out, the enemy should be killed. It is a very fast sword art. Sword Controlling Style on another hand is not an attack-type style. It let the cultivator hold and control a sword at any time in any condition. This is also very basic sword art which is used for building foundation.

"Here watch me" Fei had sword sheath hanging in his waist. Fei eyes looked at tree in front of him. He moved, sword inside his sheath disappeared. It was on fei right hand. He was already in front of tree, as he slashed.

"Sword Drawing Style"

"Chop"

Fei aims were a branch, not a whole tree. In a fraction of breath, fei was already in front of the tree whereas its branches were on the ground.

"Wow" Seeing such speed, little Yan eyes sparkle like a star. He take fei hand jumping "Father teach me this art, teach me"

"Okay listen then" After that fei started teaching little Yan. He looked at two trees in front then he says "Look at tress at the front, one will be handed over to you and another one to me"

"Start from branches to leaves for completing Sword Drawing Style" Fei said

"Yes, father" Little Yan nodded slowly then start practice. He was very new to sword style. It took some time for him to practice but what fei didn't expect was little Yan talent.

It took him just one month to completely practice Space-Time Dao Scripture first stage. Fei has to sell some of his top-level spirit stones to get the divine points then again buy the second stage for little Yan. After little Yan completely changed sealed his physique to spirit level, he could start practicing.

Fei gave him Mountain and River Body Refining Art and Nine Elephant Spirit Art to practice. Little Yan reached the third layer of body refining, practice the first stage of Mountain and River Body Refining Art, and create one elephant spirit phantom in his dantian.

This shocked fei speechless, he thought he was a genius but his son was above him and little Yan's mom bloodline hasn't even awakened yet. For little Yan, fei has no worry of his cultivation staying behind. Fei took three days to practice Sword Drawing Style to perfection and little Yan took five days. These days' father and son spend a lot of time together even sleeping.

Hao'er already knew little Yan's identity though she was a little envious, she didn't oppose him. In fact, white lotus and Hao'er became close sisters just in three days. So fei enjoyed these three days very much. But after three days, his expression became very serious. He didn't have much time to waste.

Fei entered the pagoda's first room. He starts with Sword Controlling Style; this style unlike previous style contains many moves and positions. Fei needs to cross his swords from left hand to right hand and vice versa on different positions. Main motive of this style is to control sword motion and accuracy.

Different martial arts make different ways of practice to reach a higher realm. Like Sword Drawing Style, in the beginner realm: a person needs speed, faster he can be more efficient his move will be. So to reach the entry realm means he needs faster speed. But entering small accomplishment needs accuracy. He needs to increase his accuracy better to reach great accomplishments.

Finally to reach perfection means, balancing speed and accuracy. In perfection, fei every strike will be fast and accurate. Fei wants to reach a higher realm such as Fine Detailed Realm and True Meaning realm.

He resolutely practices Sword Control Art for ten days inside the first room. He only eats, drinks, sleep, and practices. He touched a ray of hope to reach a Fine and detailed realm in these ten days. He practices for the next ten days and successfully practices the Sword Control Technique. At Fine and Detailed Realm, he can bring one hundred and forty percent of attack power from Sword Control Technique.

Every martial art is created in such a way where realms differentiate attack power.

At the beginner realm, a person can take out twenty percent of attack power. At entry, a person can take out forty percent of attack power. At the small accomplishment realm, a person can take out sixty percent of attack power. At the great accomplishment, a person can take out eighty percent of attack power. Finally, at the perfection realm, a person can take out a hundred percent of attack power.

This means at perfection, the cultivator can attack with his martial art to its fullest extent. But there is a realm above perfection. Perfection should be the end of the realm but that is not the real case. Like in the Fine and Detailed realm of Sword Control Technique, a person increases accuracy and speed to another level.

This means while at Fine and Detailed realm, his speed and accuracy surpassed the attack power of martial arts. But that doesn't mean he can continuously increase the realm of arts with extra speed, power, or accuracy.

This is fixed but he can reach another level that is totally out of existence. True Meaning is a realm where a person needs to cooperate with heaven and earth spiritual qi to increase attack power. This level is totally out of existence because to reach such a realm he needs to have a certain level of talent.

Although this was discouraging for most of the people for fei, it is quite opposite since he could increase his talent so that he can understand and cooperate with heaven and earth spiritual qi.

He also sorts out his entire shortcoming after reaching Fine and Detailed realm. He felt before increasing his talent, he needs to depend on profound level art and only use spirit level art at an emergency. So after reaching the Fine and Detailed realm of Sword Control Technique, he starts practicing other arts.

He starts with Fire Fist. This is relatively easy art where he needs to draw fire qi from his dantian, moving fire qi into his fist. Now he needs to leak out fire qi from his pores and cover his fist with fire then attack. It sounds easy but it required a high level of control on fire. He needs to empower fire qi at the outer layer of his fire fist whereas decreases firepower on the inner layer of his fire fist.

So that not only he could deal with heavy damage on the opponent but also prevent his hands from burning. Fei also understood science after merging with earth fei soul. Fire can burn only if oxygen is present. Inside his dantian spirit roots can produce fire qi that can burn without oxygen the same as heaven or earth flames.

These flames are special existence which doesn't require any kind of additional element to burn. Fire is itself an element but it also depends on how much can powerful and destructive it is. If power is high, it doesn't require any other additional element but if power is low then it seriously requires additional element.

Fire Qi inside his dantian is the product of his spiritual roots which is why his fire qi power is low. This is also why he requires a fire cultivation technique to increase the burning power of fire inside his dantian. But for now, he can rely on his spirit roots since fire fist art can manipulate fire and air to increase the destructive power of the attack.

With his mindset, he starts practicing Fire Fist Art.
