Chapter 419 - Practicing Sword Kinesis Techniques

Boom!

The sword moved rapidly in circles, accompanied by. massive whirlpool of air that gave off an illusion as though it was full of water, the momentum revolved rapidly, trying to slow down the shooting sword star.

Zhen Jia held his index and his middle finger out, moving them rapidly in circles which seem to synchronise with his attacks. 

But it seem to be hardly enough to contain the shooting star. 

Dang!

A metallic sound reverberated and an ordinary sword was knocked aside, flying off the stage. With nothing left to hold it, the shooting star shot towards Zhen Jia. 

BANG! 

It slapped at Zhen Jie with its blunt side, sweeping him with intense force as he flew backwards with blood spewing out from his mouth.

BANG!

The power difference was just too much for him. The difference between the first state technique and the second state technique was like the difference between heaven and earth.

The first state is just like having an idea about the technique, not the in-depth knowledge of ten technique.

But having an in-depth knowledge about the technique is like knowing how to pull an arrow to give the best firing power and most powerful blast.

But learning the final state of a technique is something entirely different. The phenomenal changes might even affect the surroundings and the power of the attack can even cross across realms and injure someone of a higher realm.

Usually, people of the same realm like Initial Mortal Stage practitioners would fight it out with each other until one of them grows tired and concede however, if wither if them had practiced their sword Kinesis technique to the second level of the third level, then it wouldn't be a battle at all but a one sided beating.

This was the case for Duan Ming'an and Zhan Jie. They had seemingly been equally matched in the first few minutes but in the last hour when Duan Ming'an finally revealed his second state technique, the Five revolution star, he had completely dominated Zhan Jie, sending him backwards in one strike.

But by the ashen and pale expression on Duan Ming'an face, it was obvious that he was entirely drained of energy and if that attack had missed, he wouldn't be able to release another attack of that level and would instead be doomed.

"This is the difference between us." Duan Ming'an stood arrogantly at the edge of the stage, as Zhen Jia struggled to stand up from his fallen expression.

"Don't let me see you any close to her otherwise, I might not be as benevolent as I am now. You are just a weakling, know your place." With that, Duan Ming'an flapped his sleeves and turned around to leave. 

Blood continued to spill out from his mouth and he finally collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"As expected of Senior brother Duan Ming'an. His strength his a cut level above us."

"In the next demon hunting event, senior brother Duan Ming'an will surely shine greater and might even be promoted to become an Elite student." The crowd whispered in admiration.

"Since he comes from a those great family, its expected he would do well during the hunt." Another inputted.

As for Zhen Jia who was very injured on the ground, no one really cared for him and they continued to sing praises of Duan Ming'an name.

David was very impressed with the battle he had just witnessed. Duan Ming'an attack was like a comet in the skies as it shot forwards with intense speed.

If he was still in the Spryher stage, it would take him quite the effort to counter that attack. But if the attack should touch him now, it would barely leave a white mark on his skin. 

David turned around to leave. He was in a hurry to learn the new techniques he had 'stolen' when he suddenly paused. 

From the corner of his eyes, he saw that no one was attending to Zhen Jia who was lying in the floor in his own blood and was slightly surprised. 

A Phaser would have bleed to death due to the power of their heartbeat which was why David moved by instinct, and quickly carried the bleeding man off the floor, rapidly moving towards the sick bay. 

Duan Ming'an expression darkened as he saw David's retreating figure. Others had given him face by not immediately taking Zhen Jie to the sick bay and even Zhen jie's close friends didn't dare to immediately pick him up and have to wait until he left. 

But David didn't even hesitate to pick him up which meant that he thought nothing of him. This thought immediately made Duan Ming'an angry but then, he was too exhausted to do anything.

Memorising David's face and figure, he huffed and left. 

"Who is that guy?" Someone whispered.

"That guy is in for a round of trouble. To openly dare to disregard Duan Ming'an. Its not different form slapping him across the face." another person shook his head, thinking it was a pity David had offended Duan Ming'an and would definitely be punished one way or the other. 

* * * *

After dropping off the injured Zhen Jie, it was then David realised that he wasn't at the institute anymore. The people here don't depend on their heartbeat for strength but in their mental energy and sword Kinesis. 

Therefore Zhan Jie would have been alright if David had just left him as he wouldn't bleed out much. Slapping his head in realisation to this, David immediately turned to leave, heading back to his place. 

He knew he must have offended Duan Ming'an but honestly, David didn't care in the slightest as he couldn't careless about anything that doesn't make him stronger. 

He was finally back to his small room, after a few minutes of walking. Closing the door, he proceeded to bring out the manual to start training in them immediately. 

The first one he took out was the Fury Packed Thrust, Revolving Flow Breathing Technique instead of the Lightning Splice or Consequtive Meteorite Pierce. 

Lightning Splice was definitely the highest rank skill out of them all but David didn't start with it as of yet.

The Fury Packed Thrust, and the Revolving Flow Breathing Technique, complimented each other which was why he had picked them up. 

Fury Packed Thrust was one of the peak books of the middle rank, and the damage dealt by it was high. It compressed one's strength all into one and the power was so incredible that it wasn't weaker than some of the high ranked mental arts.

David had high expectations for Fury Packed Thrust because it increases one's overall striking strength and can be used as some sort of trump card. 

Revolving Flow Breathing Technique was also a peak middle rank Training art. It increased one's mental strength while also stimulating the body to grow stronger. When trained to a high level, there was a chance to gain insight into the mental path.

"Fury Packed Thrust and Revolving Flow Breathing Technique worked perfectly well together, and when used together the power of it is at least comparable to high ranked mental arts, and there was an increase in chance to understand "Mental path inner strength"."

David smiled at his intelligence and then proceeded to sit still and quiet as he started practicing the Fury packed Thrust technique. He already memorised plenty of techniques in his head which was why he didn't need to check the manual for the procedures.

The technique required him to be calm at first which is the first requirement for every technique out there after which, he gathered his mental energy into and then a blade floated out from his sleeve and then moved right before him. 

Moving his left and his right hand, his fingers kept switching postures, leaving after images as they switched postures. 

Using blade kinesis, the blade kept floating but was releasing undulations which was sign that he was practising a technique. 

Suddenly, David opened his eyes and stared dead on the wall. "Go!"

The fly ng blade trembled and then release a slight red glow as it penetrated forwards. But it didn't even move an inch before it wobbled unsteadily in the air then with a clang, it spun and crashed against the wall. 

David stared blankly at the result, 'Its a lot harder than I had expected.' he had been so user to learning a technique straight away he had almost forgotten that the fury packed Thrust had nothing to do with the physical body but with the mind and mental energy. 

But this slight failure wasn't enough to deter him. He repeated the process over and over again. 

Morning turned afternoon and then night. He practiced without eating nor sleeping for the next three days with his door locked. 

Finally, David's door opened and he came out with a slight smile on his face.. As for whether he succeeded or not, the smile on his face was enough to tell it all.
