Born With A Divine System

CHAPTER16: DEATH (2) - Part 2

(A/N): I decided to rename the martial art The Rising Tide Sword Arts Technique.

With an unwavering determination, I assumed a stance that felt most natural. My grip on the sword tightened as both of my arms clung to it. I slightly twisted my upper body to generate more force. I began in a well-balanced posture, my right foot thrusting forward. The sword rose gracefully, carrying with it a surge of pure energy. This strike, aptly named the "rising tide," seemed to cleave the very realm in two.

Without interrupting the flow, my body moved in harmony with the Qi coursing through me, like a stream running smoothly. Each motion flowed seamlessly, accompanied by streaks of blue light emitting from the series of slashes.

Unbeknownst to me, my eyes and aura underwent a profound transformation, casting a radiant golden hue. My movements quickened, radiating an overwhelming force that could crush even the mightiest empires in an instant.

Exhausted but exhilarated, I let out a sigh as the intense sequence of movements came to a stop. I landed gracefully on the ground, my muscles finally able to relax.

*Huff*

*Huff*

Breathing heavily, I asked.

"So, how was that?"

[I am impressed by your mastery of this fighting style. This session has provided enough data to create a honed footwork to perfectly suit the martial art as well as it being able to synchronize it seamlessly with your Qi flow.]

[Beginning technique creation]

"Great," I replied, determined to make the most of this progress.

"While you work on that, I'll practice with these kni—"

My sentence was abruptly cut short as an excruciating pain gripped my chest. I fell to my knees, clutching at my heart.

*AAAAAAAAARGH*

The pain was unbearable, and my breathing became erratic. I coughed up blackened blood, the situation worsening with each passing moment. The agony continued, and I kept expelling the dark substance, my eyes turning red from the torment. Just before my imminent collapse from the torment the excruciating pain was gone.

[The hosts Dantians have been completely cleaned, now you will have no problems acquiring the developed footwork]

Alex's message made no sense to me before I realized that this process was a result of her trying to prepare me for the perfected footwork.

"Why didn't you tell me about this cleansing process?" I inquired completely annoyed by her docility.

[The cleansing process is just a natural reaction when preparing ones' body for martial prowess. The hosts dantians were completely clogged]

"Are you gonna explain what that is?"

[Within all intelligent living beings whether mortal, demon or divine there are eight point through which Qi flows through to keep one alive. This design stemmed from the original structures of the two first celestial beings. There is one located within skull, chest, right arm, left arm, abdomen, spine, left leg and right leg. The chest particularly is where Qi flows into the body and is stored, particularly known as the core. For most beings the dantians get blocked and polluted by dead cells, but for martial artists the dantian needs to be cleansed so as to enable the complete unfiltered flow of Qi through them]

"Huh, so there should be lots of different ways that Qi can flow right?"

[Yes, there are hundreds of breathing techniques and footworks that correspond to different paths through which Qi flows in the body. However the technique I have developed shall be perfectly able to facilitate all martial arts with perfect energy flow]
