I am an Eldritch Entity
Chapter 52: Internal Fist
His offensive was the only one which would take up less space, as both his defensive and movement art would need full utilization of the training room.
Approaching a screen in the corner, he clicked on the checkbox which asked if you wanted a training dummy.
A section of the wall opened up, from which a training dummy held by mechanical tongs was deposited into the empty space of the room.
He toggled a few options on the screen regarding the characteristics of the dummy.
Simultaneously, he could see a few spots on the dummy light up when he controlled certain options.
Eryndor knew they were very likely array formations. He finally had a chance to brush up on basic knowledge regarding it when he visited the library.
Between searching for cultivation arts, he had gobbled up a few pieces of basic information regarding the power systems.
Turns out there were indeed other fields of mastery in each power system. All Eight Outer Domains had named the three fields differently but in essence they were basically; Array Formation, Alchemy, and Smithing.
Each of them were such that if one had a sufficient level of mastery in it, the person could go above their levels.
A person at realm one could go make a realm two array formation if they had sufficient mastery in this field. The same was the case with the other two fields.
Of course, the records mentioned it became more and more difficult as one’s realm increased.
Eryndor had looked through a few examples, but none of the images he looked through matched with the patterns on his Sovereign’s Cloak.
But since it was only a few examples, he didn’t jump to the conclusion of his Sovereign’s Cloak being completely different.
Back to the present, Eryndor was finally done with making adjustments to the training dummy.
Sitting in front of the dummy, Eryndor took out his personal device.
He opened the manual of Internal Fist and began reading it.
Sounds of a sword swinging through the air was heard, but it was low enough to be ignored. In his increasingly focused state of mind, the sound was soon completely ignored subconsciously by him.
It took him approximately fifteen minutes to read the entire manual.
It wasn’t that she wanted to belittle others, but that getting a hang of using Qi to move through the circuit required time and care.
If the Qi went to an incorrect meridian, it would result in a backlash.
She soon stopped paying attention to it.
Repeating the process, this time with greater focus, Eryndor punched the training dummy once again.
The numbers jumped on the screen, settling on a value of twenty four.
One point of increase. Not bad.
Eryndor had read in the manual how one would need to continuously refine their control over Qi to accurately move it through the mentioned circuit to bring out the greatest potential of Internal Fist.
It was an offensive technique which had the property of bypassing defenses, directly attacking the core part.
If someone hit the surface of the body, it would be the organs below which would face a direct blow from the punch.
But the increase was kinda fast. What’s going on?
Eryndor hadn’t missed how he was able to get it in the first try and also improve its power immediately after.
Even when he performed the practice technique, he was easily able to succeed in the first try.
Is it related to my extraordinary origins?
Eryndor couldn’t make any guesses without having anything to work with.
Shaking his head, he once again focused on circulating Internal Fist.
He would need to practice a bit more and find out if he was indeed picking up things a bit too early.
If controlling Qi really came that easily to him, Eryndor could already imagine himself learning plenty of cultivation arts and pushing them beyond their limits.
Time to find out.
