The word resounded in Jayden's head.
Infinity! Infinity! Infinity! Infinity! Infinity Infinity?
"How I'm I meant to learn them all of they are never ending!? Or are you playing a trick on me?"
[Why would I play pranks on you? I do not have the time or energy to do that]
Jayden's expression changed into one of unbelieve.
"Whatever, now explain yourself."
[The martial arts I imparted on you is just one out of the eight that I currently have, I forcefully gave you that one because it perfectly countered the lightning attacks]
[The Lightnings Ways –just like the name implies– is a type of martial arts that lets the user produce lightning fast attacks at unnatural angles by moving certain muscles in the body at rhythmic intervals, it is very hard to learn, but learning it will be worth all the time spent training, to master it]
[And coupled with the energy negation of your sword, it was able to push back the lightning bolts and prevent them from reaching you]
[If you were to have a lightning affinity, Lightnings Ways will be more effective]
Jayden stroked his chin as he listened intently at the short explanation. His head still hurt, but the Creation Orb had done most of the work of healing him already.
He concluded his conversation with Nahshon and activated Peaceful Mind to speed up his mental recovery.
Jayden's mind became relaxed and his injured brain was soon healing rapidly.
__________
Jayden awoke from his half conscious state feeling reinvigorated. His muscles no longer ached, his mind was calmer and his thoughts felt faster.
Jayden enjoyed that feeling for a while before telling Nahshon to bring him his sword, and like a phantom, he felt the black Radianium sword fall into his hands.
"I wonder where you keep all the things I've been storing in the Void Space."
[They are far away from you, but at the same time, close to you]
Jayden sighed and said. "I think any time you want to speak to me, you should tone down your words. They give me a headache sometimes." Jayden grabbed his head as if he was having a migraine.
[...]
Jayden held the sword in his right hand and made the Lightnings Ways stance. He spread his feets apart with his right leg slightly ahead of his left, the sword was held to the side.
"If memory serves, I should do this, then do that..."
Jayden voice faded as he thrust his sword forward and tried channeling energy into the sword, but to his disappointment, not even a miniscule amount was drawn from the Creation Orb. He tried for a whole hour before coming to a stop to rest his body and think of the mistakes he was making.
"You've done it again Nahshon, 'thought you said I was able to pull out energy from the Creation Orb during my fight with the Lone Wolf Hunter."
[The technique to draw out and circulate energy through your body and into the sword to use the Lightnings Ways was imparted on you, that was why you were able to draw energy from the Creation Orb]
[I suggest you use that technique and understand the feeling of pulling out energy, and when you grab it, you will be able to draw out energy naturally]
Jayden who had rested for a few minutes got up to get to work.
Jayden picked his sword laying by his side and took a stance once again. He closed his eyes and searched through his memory to find anything that didn't feel natural to him, he searched and soon found a series of breathing and movement technique that stimulated his mind and made him suddenly stir the energy in the Creation Orb making it surge and flow out of his chest and into the sword.
Jayden's eyes remained closed as the veins on his hands bulged and pulsated with power, they glowed in a deep purple light further highlighting the purple glow around his Void Space body.
Jayden let the energy overflow more than it was supposed to, he forcefully took control of the energy running rampant in his body. He moved all the energy to his sword making it tremble in his hands and begin to also glow purple.
Jayden's eyes snapped open to reveal his bright purple pupils, he twirled his sword slowly before suddenly thrusting it forward.
From his left and right similar images of Jayden's hand thrusting the sword manifested and instead of one attacks, three were made instead. A loud bang shot off like a gun shot startling the sleeping Draven.
Jayden felt weak and dropped to his knees immediately. "Bring up my stats Nahshon."

His energy had hit zero, he had used up all his energy on that one attack and the backlash of using up all his energy at once had cost him a single point of his health.
Jayden saw that he also had an increase in his agility stats. Whatever that had caused that increase was not as important as how devastating his attack had been, the Void Space was what it was... Void. There was no sign of destruction anywhere to guage the destructiveness of his attack, but he couldn't perform the attack again without letting his energy recover to its peak first.
[Pathetic]
"..."
[Yes you heard me right, that was pathetic]
A vein was popping at the side of Jayden's head, he didn't know what was pathetic to Nahshon, but he knew it wouldn't be something nice to his ears.
[You used up all your energy to perform that attack when you only needed ten points of energy]
"I just began learning it, HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO PERFECT IT AT MY FIRST TRY?!!"
[Oh really, let's say you are in a battle and then you use that technique to deal with half of your enemies]
[You will be like]
[Wait guys, let me recover my energy, just stand there and let me cultivate a little to recover faster and when I'm done, I'll kill you off]
[Hehehe, how smart of you]
[You attack might be powerful...
....but it is still pathetic]
