Fictional Transcension System - Chapter 51 Energy Explosion
“From what I’ve seen, you’ve only made use of your taekwondo the way you know it, with the exception of your overall improved strength.”
Lu Fengyi tilted his head in confusion at Zhang Xuan’s words, “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that you most likely have not integrated the true meaning of cultivation and spiritual energy within your technique. It seems that your technique is only powerful because of your powerful strength given by cultivation, however you have not truly made it a battle technique yet.” Zhang Xuan elaborated.
While Lu Fengyi knew that martial techniques would integrate the properties of different cultivation realms, applying it to his existing skill in taekwondo had never occurred to him. Out of curiosity, Lu Fengyi asked, “So what are the main bonuses that comes with making my taekwondo a martial technique?”
Zhang Xuan shook his head at the question before moving several seats and tables, setting up an open space in the centre of the classroom. “Remember this. This essence of a martial technique is the fact that it manipulates one’s zhenqi and energy to infuse into attacks, creating something that becomes far superior to anything that a physical attack of the same level can do.”
Lu Fengyi nodded before moving into a horse stance in the centre of the open space.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan began, “First, run your zhenqi through your meridians before channelling it towards your acupuncture points…”
Following Zhang Xuan’s instructions, Lu Fengyi felt activation energy course throughout his body, filling his acupuncture points and readying him for battle. Different from before in which he would only make use of the physical strength granted by cultivation, Lu Fengyi felt a powerful spirit-like force within his body, ready to erupt at any time.
“As you’ve probably read into already, the next step will involve the exerting of your energy from your body. I know that you can release your zhenqi already as the Library of Heaven’s Path listed flaws upon your zhenqi, however you still have yet to learn how to release the culaltivation energy.” Zhang Xuan stepped towards Lu Fengyi before holding out his palm and releasing a small bundle of energy.
Lu Fengyi nodded before concentrating his energy into a single finger, hoping to release a burst of energy, however instead of what he had expected, a ball of flames floated out instead. The purple tinted blue flames drifted calmly towards the floor before contacting the wooden floor, instantly combusting and spreading across the room.
Zhang Xuan stared in shock as he backed away as quickly as possible, releasing his zhenqi as he did so, “Quickly, put it out!”
Lu Fengyi attempted to comply, however since he had never truly used his cultivation energy to attack, his efforts only turned to waste. While it was true that if Lu Fengyi swept his hand, a strong gale of wind would form and put out the flames instantly, however his current intentions were not only to put out the fire, but to use his cultivation energy to do so.
Seeing the failed attempt, Zhang Xuan quickly rushed forwards to try and put out the flames, however even his extremely pure zhenqi could not affect the spreading flames causing him to only be able to watch as the blue blazes licked and destroyed his classroom.
Just as Zhang Xuan thought that his room would be incinerated by the powerful flames, Lu Fengyi yelled in surprise as a miniature tornado of energy swirled within the room, ripping the spreading flames from the floor and containing the fire within the energy.
“You’ve already learnt how to manipulate energy to such an extent?” Zhang Xuan felt shocked beyond belief. Several minutes ago, Lu Fengyi did not even know how to release cultivation energy from his body, yet in a short moment’s time, he was already able to manifest a tornado of it to assault the flames that even he could not extinguish.
Lu Fengyi laughed in excitement before drawing the whirlwind of energy back towards his body. Since he could make the second grade of pill flames on his first try, that would mean that his natural talent in control over the exertion of his energy would be quite advanced.
Sighing in relief, Zhang Xuan was about to step towards Lu Fengyi when he was blasted back into the wall by an unstoppable force infused with raging energy.
Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Zhang Xuan stared in shock as the originally retracting energy burst out from an epicentre, sweeping clean in furniture within the room and slamming ruthlessly upon the walls of the classroom.
While Zhang Xuan had recently obtained a new body refinement technique, namely the Heaven’s Path Golden Body technique, that did not mean that he would be able to withstand the remnant shock waves from an explosion of Zhizun level power. In any case, he was still only of the Pixue realm. If he were to able to completely nullify the power of a Zhizun realm expert, wouldn’t that make him invincible against even those of several cultivation realms higher than him?
Very quickly, lacerations began to appear upon Zhang Xuan’s body as even the Heaven’s Path Golden Body began to collapse under the pressure of the erupting energy. Gritting his teeth together, Zhang Xuan channelled zhenqi throughout his body to stop the invading energies from entering his body, however there was no resisting the overwhelming power that imposed itself upon him.
“Shit!”
Zhang Xuan felt the invading energy traverse through the lacerations upon his body, passing through every layer of protection that his own energy provided. While his zhenqi had put up a valiant fight, like everything else, it could only end up being swept along with the constant flow of rampaging energy.
“Is this going to be the end for me? An accident from another transcendent?”
While Zhang Xuan was writhing on the ground, trying his absolute best to minimise the damage the energies would cause him, Lu Fengyi was still attempting to withdraw the energy, eyes closed in concentration and completely unaware of the ongoing happenings.
‘This feeling of dragging and manipulating my energy outside of my body… While it doesn’t feel difficult, there’s just something that’s missing…’
Energy from the vortex before him constantly compressed itself and exploded out, destroying and reforming itself to the point in which even the small particles in the air were beginning to break down from the never ending pressure.
It wasn’t that Lu Fengyi couldn’t reform the energy, bringing it within his body and stopping the vortex, however there was something about the process of using his cultivation externally that had piqued his interest, causing him to explode and retract it in a rhythmic manner.
As the surroundings became even more barren, becoming completely devoid of all different than floating particles in the air and broken rubble on the floor, Lu Fengyi suddenly stood up with a gleam in his eye. The vortex of energy converged and slipped back into Lu Fengyi’s body. It was only then, when the system spoke out.
