Novel Bin Chapter 67: Impact Point
Chapter 67: Impact Point
Athan was sitting crossed-legs while his eyes were shut tight, HIs face had a slight frown as he occasionally shook his head and nodded.
He was practicing the Advanced stage of the Flowing method.
After spending an hour, He finally completed one cycle flow of Active Energy of the Advanced stage and fell into thought, \' The difficulty increased a notch, But it doesn\'t seem dangerous. If I practice this for around three days then I should be able to master the advanced stage too...but It\'s strange. It is clearly stated that I need at least 15 strength and 20 Constitution to practice the Advanced stage of this flowing method. \'
He thought for a while and arrived at a conclusion as to why he could practice Advanced Stage despite not meeting the requirement.
" It should be related to how my body was refined, Other people refined their body with Essence Energy while my body was refined by strange energies released from the black whirlpool after it absorbed the Essence Energies which not only gave me affinities but also constitutions of elements..."
Nodding his head he thought while smiling, \' That is the only reason I can think of as to why I can practice Advance stage and since I can practice it then I should also master it hehehe. \'
He then continued to practice the Advanced stage with difficulties, \' The fast speed of Active Flowing Energy is a problem on top of a bit more complex pathways. But The energy is getting more powerful...It should be related to how Active Energy is flowing in our body. Fire constitution and Body huh...Looks like there are more things than what meets the eye in our body, Specially the so-called baptized by the origin. I wonder what changes will happen to people after their bodies are baptized by the origin? \'
Shaking his head, He cleared out his thoughts and focused on practicing.
...
After four days...
Athan currently held both of his hands forward and released two <Impact Shot>.
*????????????????????????????????????....???????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????....????????????????????*
Afterward, He released <Scatter Shot> from both of his hands.
*????????????????????????????????.....????????????????.....????????????????????????????????.....????????????????.....*
With a smile on his face, He nodded and thought, \' As expected of Advanced Stage, The damage output increased by more than a fold compared to the beginner stage, Now let\'s try the <Impact Point> \'
But before that, He first recovered his fire energy to full because from the information, He knew that the consumption of <Impact Point> is very huge.
After recovering his energy, He closed his eyes and put both of his hands forward while connecting the fingers ( and thumbs ) of his left hand and right hand together.
The energy inside his body was flowing very fast and actively as it impacted both of his hands after each flow cycle.
After a few seconds, The hollow space between his hand started to fill up with dense red energy, ( Just like Kamehameha ) and then Athan made the ball of energy between his hands shrink with his control.
After it shrank into a small dot, Athan once again did the same thing. The energy started to fill up with the dot of energy in the middle before he shrank it once more.
The previous dot now appeared a bit bigger because it was covered by this round\'s shrunk energy.
Athan did the same thing two more times as the previous small dot was now the same size as a golf ball. His hands were also trembling constantly.
Just then, Athan\'s face changed as he cursed, " SH!T!!! "
???? *????????????????????????????*????
[ You have died. ]
Athan appeared on the grassy plains after a few seconds.
" uhh...didn\'t realize that I ran out of fire energy. "
He then fell into thought, \' So If I expend all of my energy then I can create a 4 layer <Impact Point>. \'
He then looked at his Friend list and saw that Tiana was currently in Combat Arena.
Smiling, He thought, \' I should also try my new powers in fights. \'
[ Matching...]
[Match found.]
[ Athan vs Lonzo ]
[ Winning Streaks ]
Athan: 0
Lonzo: 8
The scenery changed as Athan arrived in the...sky.
" The heck!! " Cursing, Athan used <Lightning Arial Wings> to float in the air.
There was no land below as everywhere he looked, There was only water.
" So we are going to fight while flying huh...", Athan narrowed his eyes while looking in front of him.
He could feel a presence far away from him that was moving closer to him.
\' Looks like he is coming here himself, Let\'s welcome him with <Scatter Shot>. \'
Athan didn\'t form a barrier around him because he wanted to use <Scatter Shot>, As he saw his opponent coming closer, He stretched his hands forward.
But Just then, He heard a loud voice that traveled to his ears from the front.
" Don\'t attack bro, Don\'t attack...."
Athan frowned a bit hearing that but he didn\'t put his hand down.
After a few seconds, Lonzo arrived and stopped at a 100-meter distance from Athan, He had military hair cut and wore a green tight sports costume. From his face, He looked around the age of 23 or 24.
With a grin on his round face, He said to Athan, " Hello there, Thanks for not attacking directly. The reason why I shouted about not attacking was that I wanted to try my new spell, I recently mastered a defensive spell and I wanted to try it. "
Athan lowered his hands before speaking with a smile, " What a coincidence, I also recently learned an Offensive Spell but haven\'t had a chance to try it. "
Lonzo\'s eyes lit up hearing that as he said, " Great, You can try your offensive spell on my defensive spell. But you\'ll have to wait a bit, It will take some time to prepare my defensive spell. "
Saying this, He closed his eyes as Earth, Water, Metal, and Fire energy started to surround him.
Athan didn\'t say anything and started to prepare <Impact Point>, \' I can cast a 4 layer impact point but 3 layers will do for now lest some mishaps happen because after all, I haven\'t practice this spell enough yet, so my proficiency of it is not as good as Impact Shot and Impact Scatter. \'
He then put both of his hands forward as he started form 3 layer Impact Point.
After a while, He was about to finish his 3rd layer impact point when he heard Lonzo\'s voice, " Hey bro, I\'m done with my spell, You can shoot your spell whenever it\'s ready. "
" I\'m almost done. "
After a few seconds, Athan finished forming his 3 layer impact point which looked a bit smaller than a golf ball.
He then looked at Lonzo\'s Defensive spell and was surprised.
" So that\'s your defensive spell...."Athan spoke while nodding, \' His defensive spell is indeed impressive, If he had reached intermediate Level of Intent in all four of them then It will be a bit hard to break this defensive spell.\'
Lonzo, Who was inside his defensive spell could not see anything, His defensive spell was a round ball, But Athan could sense the complex structure of it.
The round defensive spell had Earth and Metal, Both of them were connected with a complex structure that looked similar to the honeycomb, while water and fire were also intervened between them.
\' This complex structure is a sign of spell related to a Flowing method but It feels a bit different...hmmm It must be an individual Flowing Spell, It\'s impressive that he formed a 4 element Flowing spell. Let\'s see how it fare against my Impact Point. \'
He then pushed both of his hands backward while the red ball was floating in the middle of his hands. ( Kamehame )
If one looked carefully, There was a thin layer of orange of energy surrounding the small ball, That layer was pushed against Athan\'s skin.
After pushing his hands backward, He ran the Active energy inside his body and impacted it towards his hands while also pushing both of his hands forward. ( HAAAAAAAAA )
A thin orange layer of the round ball with a small bright red ball in the middle of it shot from Athan\'t hand and hit Lonzo\'s defensive spell in a fraction of a second.
???? *????????????????????????????*????
...
...
[ Athan wins ]
[ Winning Streak: 1 ]
Athan arrived in the grassy plain with a satisfied smile on his face, \' Looks like he didn\'t reach Intermediate Level in any of his intents and his defensive spell was still in the beginner stage. \'
But Lonzo was dumbfounded when he returned to his place.
He had a confused expression as he thought, \' I could sense the energy of Athan\'s attack when it hit my barrier, that shit is definitely not something that can be pulled off by someone who is in Energy Plan. \'
He continued to ponder with a confused face, " The only way would be to achieve Advanced stage in his Flowing Method but...he is in Energy Plane. "
As he was murmuring, A girl around his age patted his shoulder and said, " Hey Lonzo, What happened? "
She had short red hair and a fit body, She wore the same costume as Lonzo but her mounds, which were around the D cup were sticking out in the tight sports costume.
Lonzo turned his face towards her and asked, " Oh Lina, you finished the match? how did it go? "
" I won but what about you? you seem pretty confused. Did you lose? "
Lonzo nodded his head and spoke with a bitter smile " I lost, My opponent seemed to have somehow mastered Advanced Stage in his Flowing Method and his spell utterly destroyed me along with my Defensive spell. "
Lina thought for a few seconds and spoke, " If he had mastered Advance Stage in his flowing method despite being in the energy plane then he must have some kind of unique physic just like that monster we saw when we started [ Caverns of the Black Bear ]. "
With a bitter face, Lonzo nodded and spoke, " That must be the case....sigh, Why I was matched with someone like him? My 8 winning streaks are gone now. "
