Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 153 - The Secret Of Hexagram Technique

Nathanael was the best fighter of the Delta Special Forces. He was on a different level than the other special forces members. With such speed and power of the peak level of spirit enhancers, maybe only Rama, Arief, or Winter who could defeat him. Aria might not be able to defeat Nathanael as she not have as fierce and have less fighting experience as the other three. But why didn't Alex, who was only a top-level mortal realm warrior, let the three of them to fight? Of course Alex had something that remains a secret. This was what in the head of the fighters who know Alex well.

Alex was able to defeat dozens of members of the Death Squad because with the support of spirit stones at that time, Alex had a stronger physical strength compared to them. This time, the average amount of fighters here had reached the peak level of the mortal realm, so Alex didn't have that advantage anyone. Alex's current strength is only in his Hexagram technique. Alex had used this technique once to defeat Jerry, a spirit enhancer who was also at the peak level of the mortal realm. But at that time Jerry had not yet reached a breakthrough and cultivated his latent abilities. While Nathanael, the fighter in front of Alex, had reached the peak level of the spirit enhancer mortal realm. He was also a member of special forces and martial fighters who had more experience and variations in martial arts techniques from Jerry. If Alex wanted to defeat him, Alex needed something better than his Hexagram technique,

Nathanael was waiting for Alex to admit defeat. He looked at the admiral who was very pleased with the results of this match, but when he turned to Alex, he was surprised because Alex didn't have any intention to give up. Alex executed his Hexagram stance once more.

"Humph! Even though your move is quite unpredictable, but right now it's not useful against me "

Nathanael pissed off, but after saying his words he was dumbstruck. Alex was in the position of his eyes closed but a certain aura emanated from his body. Alex whispered a sentence.

"Hexagram Technique - STAGE FOUR!!"

The Hexagram technique was a special technique that Alex got from one of Doomsday Pillars as a reward when he made it to the Sky Realm level. This was a mid-level technique, one that was unique and very rare. Unlike other techniques which had only two or three levels, Hexagram technique had 6 levels. In his previous life, Alex acquired this technique in the third year since the coming doomsday, and had mastered this technique to the second level for the next 7 years. And during these 7 years he had never made it through the third level.

But how could he break through the fourth level this time?

Hexagrams, which had been written in the oldest Chinese classics, were acknowledged more than 4,000 years ago. The technique invented by Fuxi, one of the Three Legends at the beginning of this dynastic period, was the formation of six sets of 64 symbols, a total of 384 variations.

Each level contains 64 symbols that needed to be memorized and mastered. Alex was able to master the first and second sets with a total of 128 symbols in his first year. But for the past 6 years, even though he had mastered the third set, he had never broken through the third level and never pass the second level. Even though Alex continued to learn and memorize all the 6 sets of formation with a total of 384 variations until the end of the destruction of the world he still could not break through the third level.

After reincarnating, Alex began to be motivated again to find a breakthrough solution to level 3. And he accidentally came up with an idea to immediately try to combine sets 3 and 4 together with the first two sets. A simple solution that was unthinkable when he was hit by the pressures of the destruction of the world. Alex with luck managed to find the secret that the Hexagram technique could only be penetrated in multiples; 64 variations, 128 variations and the next 256 variations.

Now with hexagram stage four. he managed to combine 4 sets of 64 variations with a total of 256 variations. Not only did he feel the 256 points in his body opened and canalized some energy, he also gained new enlightenment in hexagram formation. This was Alex's secret of confidence. In the very moment, he didn't need to be in the shadow of the spirit enhancers who were stronger than him.

Alex's body was currently full of inner strength. The opponent in front of him is a suitable opponent to test his new strength.

Nathaniel felt a threatening aura from Alex but this did not frighten him. As a famous Indian tribal mohican warrior he could not retreat, instead the blood of his struggle boiled over.

"AARRGGHH !!"

Nathanael shouted a battle call and got back to the arena with his two weapons while Alex was ready to withstand empty-handed. At the time Devita didn't know how to stop the fight and hoping that her husband wouldn't get hurt was all she could do.

Nathanael seemed as if he was floating and walking in the air and he was attacking fiercely ...

The axe swung. SWISSHH!!! ..

Alex immediately made a simple circular motion and suddenly he was behind his opponent.

Nathanael was taken aback, but he was able to keep up with his opponent's speed and jabbed his knife again ..

But the onlookers seemed confused. Alex seemed to move only one step but could perfectly avoid Nathanael's attacks.

Nathanael refused to stop there. He was getting more and more vicious about carrying out several attacks again. Alex seemed to be able to avoid everything with simple steps, even more strange, Alex's movements this time even looked slower than before. This fight looked very weird. The one faster one could not catch the slow one. Alex makes a round steps and hand movements that seemed to flow like water. Perfectly avoided the opponent's flash moves.

After making some perfect dodge moves, unexpectedly Alex made a very fast pounding counterattack with his fist directly landing right on the nathanael's temple

BAAAMMM !!

Nathanael was bounced a few meters back ... even though he remained standing tall, visible blood began to flow from his mouth ...

Seeing this, the onlookers from Alex's side cheered excitedly. Automatically many members of the army were amazed at Alex's actions. Rama, who was a martial arts expert, commented :

" Alex's Baguazhang move technics has evolved, looked more flowing like ..."

Another fighter who was a kung fu expert from China interrupted :

"Tai chi ... This movement is flowing like Tai Chi martial arts."

"Yes it is"

Tai Chi martial arts in modern times are very well-known not only as a form of martial arts but also health gymnastics. Many experts agreed that practicing Tai Chi could create a state of calmness and mental clarity that was very good for the health of the body and soul.

Both Baguazhang and Tai Chi are variations of martial arts originating from Wudang Temple. Both of these martial arts originated from one source, namely the understanding of the Dao. Tai Chi is divided into various "styles" but basically all of them came from one root and the basic concept was almost the same, but the form of movement was different. Tai Chi has hundreds of variations. One of the famous variations was the 108 San Feng Taiji move. One of the variations that were named after the creator; Zhang Sanfeng. A legendary martial arts leader from China in the 12th century. A Taoist priest and the founder of Wudang Temple.

Some experts found evidence that Zhang Sanfeng himself lived more than 200 years and even some experts speculated that he lived beyond that. Even though he had many disciples, in his entire life there was no one had ever been able to fully inherit his technique. Then how Alex could get the technique from Doomsday pillar was a mystery.

Back at this time the two men stood face to face, but this time it was Natahanel who looked doubtful ...

As if he got what Natahanel was thinking, Alex said something that surprised him :

"It's time for you to unleash the full potential of your weapon."

"!!!"

Nathanael was again taken aback. How could this man also know about the secret of the small axe from his family's inheritance. This axe was the reason Nathanael was called a monster by his army. Nathanael glanced at the Admiral as if asking for approval, and Admiral Gerard nodded. It seems like the admiral was determined to complete his mission. He must bring Alex back with him.

Seeing the answer from his boss, Nathanael felt more relieved, this time he could fight with all his strength. But before starting to attack he warned Alex.

"Mr. Alex, my weapon is very dangerous ... if you do not dodge you will die"

After Nathanael spoke, the little axe in his grasp seemed to flash little. The Indian man swung the axe toward Alex from afar and a loud sound was heard.

ZZiiiinngg !!!

The slash from the axe seemed to split the wind and create a strong energy towards the goal of the slash. Seeing that, Alex did not say anything as he dodged it immediately...

KABOOMMM !!!

The sound of explosions and smoke seemed to fill the air where Alex was standing. All the onlookers was amazed by this action.. Devita from one side was increasingly worried about her husband's situation. When the smoke began to subside, Devita was relieved again because her husband looked fine. It looked like Alex managed to avoid the attack. But the onlookers were again amazed to see the ground where Alex had stood before .. The floor made of concrete stone looked like butter that was just scratched by a knife ..

"!!!"

Alex was quite surprised but he still looked at Nathanael, smiling.

"Wow, that's a great attack! Nice weapon you have there!"
