173- Martial Art Symbol Inheritance 2

“And clearly, challenging these kinds of powers will create pressure on me and it will stimulate me to get stronger. And if there is a condition like this, then it will create even more pressure.”

“On the path of becoming stronger, each person will offend many people, and the same goes in my case. The only difference is that these two powers are not aware of me and I have lots of time to get stronger. I will strike their hearts when I reach the top of this world.”

“And coincidentally, my friends who poisoned me had joined the Frozen palace through some connections. So, when I take my revenge, it means I am going to offend the Frozen Palace.”

“Since, anyway I will have to face the Frozen Palace one way or the other. So, why not accept some benefit that can make me stronger?”

When Armelia heard this, she was stunned for few seconds. She bit her lips and said firmly,

“Since you want to face such big powers, then I will also face them together.”

Her eyes were filled with determination.

Seeing, this Orochi softly said,

“What are you anxious about? There is still a lot of time and we need to get stronger and quickly reach the Royalty realm.”

Armelia firmly nodded and her determination to get stronger was strengthened again.

Orochi could see the determination in Armelia’s eyes. But he did not want to involve her in his revenge, especially he did not want to show her the devil inside him that he has been suppressing for many days. Hence, he shifted the topic.

“Aunt June do you know anything about the two inheritances? I mean I never heard about the Spiritual essence refining method and the ‘Martial Art symbol’ thing.”

Hearing Orochi’s question, June fell into contemplation and after few seconds, she opened her mouth,

“I don’t know what this ‘Martial Art symbol’ is, as this is the first time, I am hearing about it.”

“As for the so called Spiritual Essence Refining method...”

As June started speaking about the Spiritual Essence Refining method, Orochi started understanding how awesome the inheritance is.

So, according to her words, when Humans are still in the Mortal Realm, they engage in close quarter combat as they are unable to manifest spiritual qi out of their bodies. So, they can only fight with Qi and Spiritual Qi. Humans below the Demi-human stage can only fight with Qi, by imbuing them in their bodies to increase their body’s capabilities. While Demi-Human stage humans can only imbue their body with Spiritual Qi.

And it is only after a human, steps into the Transformation realm and reaches the Human stage, will that humans be able to summon Spiritual Qi outside their bodies.

So, after reaching the Human stage, they can attack targets who are at a distance away from them. Hence, Ethan’s attacks were able to travel few meters and injure Orochi.

And after humans step into the Royalty realm, they are able to produce something called ‘Spiritual Essence’, which is formed when the Spiritual Qi within them undergoes goes many processes. And it is said that ‘Spiritual Essence’ is multiple times better, concentrated, and potent than Spiritual Qi. And this is one of the factors which creates a huge gap between a human who has reached the peak of Transformation Realm and a human who has stepped into the Royalty realm.

And after reaching the Royalty realm, the power difference between each level increases dramatically.

So, if one wants to fight someone above or stronger than oneself, then he/she has to adapt or find ways that can increase his/her strength.

And few ways in which one can increase his/her powers are:

By Learning Fighting techniques and Martial arts,

Or

By Cultivating a Body cultivation Method.

Or

Finally, by cultivating a Spiritual Essense refining Method.

Fighting techniques and Martial arts when used can drastically increase one’s power.

For example, if a person is asked to punch a rock using his 100% strength and in the final result, it is found that he is able to deliver a punch of 120 KG. So, it can be deduced that his 100% strength can only amount to 120 KG power. But if the same person had learned some kind of Fist technique, then his punching power can almost increase by a large degree.

Another example, Orochi’s fist technique- Stone Breaking Fist. This fist technique is a [Normal Grade Level 8] technique. And when Orochi uses this fist technique, his punching power is increased by more than 30%. So, this is how Fighting techniques and Martial arts can help one to fight against someone above oneself.

But as the saying goes- If you want to gain something, then you also have to lose something.

The same goes with the use of Fighting techniques and Martial arts.

By using Fighting Technique and Martial Arts, one is over drafting his body’s limits. Such that if a person uses a fist technique, then his arm’s muscles are overworked. And if that person does not possess a strong body, then that person can experience discomfort in his arm which can range from short-term numbing to swollen arms or even breaking of muscle fibers. Because he has overused his arm muscles.

To prevent this from happening, either the user must limit himself to those fighting techniques that will not have much effect on his body or eat things that can make his body stronger or get some Body cultivation technique.

After one is successfully able to cultivate a body cultivation technique, his physical limits increase drastically. Such that he can even execute fighting techniques that are above his cultivation level and the backlash from it will be very less. There are also benefits such as low level weapons cannot even put a scratch on him, he can save his Spiritual qi and fight enemies with just his physical body, enemies' attacks cannot harm him unless the attack power exceeds body’s limit, there are many such benefits.

For example, due to Orochi’s astonishing stat numbers that have crossed 4 digits, his physical body is extremely strong. So, he is immune to Normal grade weapons, he can use fighting techniques and Martial arts above his level and be immune to the backlash from it, he can fight across levels. Although he has not even cultivated any Body cultivation technique, the system’s functions exceed the benefits brought by most of the Body cultivation techniques.

Now, coming to the third way of increasing one’s combat capabilities. The Spiritual Essense refining technique.

As earlier mentioned, when humans step into the Transformation realm and reach the Human stage, they can manifest Spiritual qi from their body into the outside world. And use it to attack their targets who are away from them.
