CHAPTER 522: PROUD DRAGON REPENTS

After all, he based this new skill on that method

But Aeryon plan was never to create the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm.

But he also knows that for his technique to be created, he first have to have a good foundation.

And he had decided that the foundation of his technique would be this modified Eighteen Dragon Subduing Plam that he had deduced by himself.

Aeryon has always been practicing like he was not facing just one opponent but endless waves of people, trying to challenge and kill him

And yet each time, he still had to control the energy, so that when he attacks, he did not expend all of his stamina in one time

But even at that time, it never reach this kind of power before.

Where he could unleash the energy that is blocked in his palm outward.

That is the most apt way to describe what he felt when he was training.

It was like the energy wanted to come out but it is blocked in the wrist area and the energy is just there and dissipate with each strike

But now, once he understood the method, the energy easily comes out from his palm

No, Aeryon thought to himself as he is changing his stance.

Ayera just landed on the ground as Aeryon is prepared to begin attacking in earnest

"No, the energy does not easily comes out of my palm" he thought to himself.

He must focus, really focus and have a target of this focus for it to have the intended effect of subduing all things

Aeryon focused and right now all of those calculations about Ayera, about Utgard, the matter between Mayeux and Ayera, all of those cause and effect is forgotten by him

There is only Ayera and his new palm method.

"Before, there was always something missing. Today, that missing part has been filled. Today, I would create the moves"

He no longer thinks about the system but only thinking about perfecting this move that he has been dreaming about since he first created the Wind Sword skill.

"Having excess but not over it"

"Control it, restrain it, subdue it!"

Subdue the energy, control the energy, it is like a power management.

Some method of fighting is like burning one own life to trade with powerful strength

Expending all force in each strike. When he thinks of this, past fight enters his mind, honing him.

He remembers one of the sparring session with Burchu.

Burchu has one method where he uses all of his concentration to attack one point.

This attack would be his ultimate attack

But when the strike is shot, then he would also lose all of his strength in that moment. At that time, he better kills the enemy. If not, he would be the one that would get killed

Burchu when they were sparring, never once he uses this spear skill. Because he himself did not know whether he could control it.

Aeryon once ask Burchu to shows a bit of that method. Just a few swing that is building momentum for that last attack, made Aeryon feel like he is in life and death situation

Burchu has never ever defeated him in one-on-one battle.

But Aeryon also knows that Burchu has never been in a life and death battle with him

If this was the case, then with that skill, even Aeryon is not confident that he could receive such attack

But the method of his palm, this initial method required him to carefully regulate his energy output.

A strike delivered with full concentration but carefully controlled force. It would be more effective than the method of burning one life to clinch a win.

Controlled force against force that is thrown with reckless abandon. That is the core philosophy of this method

But the crucial part of this method is the profound internal strength

The basic movement could be learned through diligent practice.

And he could always create new moves and added or cut some things that are not suitable

But for it to have mystery, for it to become more than just a simple movement method or moves, it must be added with internal energy

And it required exceptional internal energy reserves.

Either internal energy or mana, whatever is the energy of the heaven and earth is called, as long as it could be embedded in the moves, then this simple moves that look like an eighth grader syndrome fighting against the air would be transformed into a sublime art of pure masculine power that roars across the world!

The core philosophy of this skill is derived from what he understood of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

In his world, this method is only a fantasy method.

There is martial arts in his world, but it would not reach a point where people could glide across mountain ravines or break real stone with one punch, or bend steel and iron with a few fingers.

But in this world, there is magic, mana, internal energy, Qi, Kusa, Shakti.

All of these term refer to the energy of heaven and earth. Different method may have different way of exercising this energy.

But in the end, it is the same essence which is the essence of heaven and earth

When he first created this palm method, he try it with the mentality of just trying it. He never expected it to work in the first place

He uses the core philosophy of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms that he had read in a martial art novel before and crafted it to match the palm method he created in his mind

But to his surprise, there is an effect when he first executed it.

However, after that, no matter what, he could not produce the same effect even though he follow the first move that he had made perfectly

It wasn’t until now that he understood why the first time did work and the other time did not work.

The first time he executed this method was at the time he is most relaxed.

He had only the mentality of trying it out. The most natural thought and carefree and not thinking about success and failure.

Just wanting to do it. And because of that it works

But today, when he once again attack Ayera, it works again

Roar of dragon could be heard when he unleash this method. Before, the roar of the wind might just be an effect of his force colliding with the wind.

But Aeryon could hear it. A sound of the roar of dragon.

As for how....he is still quite puzzled.

It could not be just concentration.

There is something that is still missing.

But now, as he is feeling confident he could unleash the energy out, he would forge forward and familiarize himself with the feeling of throwing out this palm force

It is a pity that Aeryon did not have a formal education about internal energy.

It is rare for someone to enter this mysterious world where one could use inner energy

If Aeryon learns a real internal martial art methods, then one could only imagine the kind of power that he could exert in the battlefield combined with his other skills.

Aeryon however did not have time to think about all of this.

Time slow down for him right now when he thinks. However, that is just the perception of time in his mind

Time itself did not actually stop or slow down.

Even during the time of those warlocks and great warriors that could bomb mountain and seas, those who have the ability to even slightly touch the threshold of time magic could be considered a Sage of Magic or a Great Supreme of martial art master

it is just that his thoughts is compressed in mere seconds that it feel like everything slows down around him.

Ayera is now six feet away from him.

In that few moments, he knew what he wanted to do and what kind of attack he wanted to release

A deep breath is taken, the energy fills his heart and the feeling of energy coursing through his every vein energized him almost instantly

He bent his left leg. Wind rises near his feet. His right arm curling inward. His right foot in the Qina position

At this moment, he suddenly think of a hexagram. And like an enlightenment that came late, he knows where to put his foot

"The proud dragon repents—fullness cannot last long."

The Qian position on the Upper Nine. It represent pinnacle of strength, but warn against excess.

One should not go beyond the proper bounds.

The fifth position symbolizes the apex of virtuous leadership, the top position reflect the dangers of unchecked ambition and inflexibility.

What rises to too high is bound to fall.

The Nine in the Third Position, reminds caution can avert misfortune, the Upper Nine reminds lack of self-restrain leads to inevitable decline

Aeryon does not know how this knowledge suddenly appears.

What matters is that when he thrust out his palm, he suddenly understood why it is based on that hexagram and how it could be integrated into this martial arts
