Chapter 16 - Second Chakra Point

Several days passed in such a manner. Martial Arts School's classes for freshmen had already begun. The first six months were all basic courses that everyone had to take, and Red excelled in them with his superior mental skills. He spent most of his days practicing the horse stance punch.

He had reached significant success with the punch. His physical body was going stronger and his punch kept getting more and more mysterious. But the more Red punched, the more he felt he was further off from the profound punch by the Asura burned in his mind. When Red punched, he could almost create vibrations in the air and his punch became mysterious as if it held several punches within one. However, the asura's punch felt like it had millions of different punches within a single punch. The punch would be slow, fast, yin or yang and even diffused within a single simple looking punch. It was one punch, but had several minor variations that made it extremely versatile. Over time, Red slowly felt like he had slowly begun to grasp hints of the Asura's punch.

As Red learned various basic concepts in class he could suddenly see how they appeared within that Asura punch. Whether it was balance, control, tyranny and force Red was slowly peeling off layers of an onion. As Red continued to punch day in and out without a care in the world, one day his body reached the threshold and suddenly his second Chakra point between his eyebrows was unlocked and a second stream of heaven's energy began permeating his body. At that moment it was as if Red's punch suddenly made a leap and his punch created a popping sound as if he had slapped air.

The sudden sound made several students look towards him. Over the past few days many had noticed Red constantly doing punching routines on the training ground. Initially most just ignored him as just another students, but Red had become a discussion point among many of the elites and seniors and even a few teachers had occasionally kept an eye on Red. Many had noticed that Red's punch looked simple, but hidden behind it was a deadly punch. It looked like there were thousands of punches hidden within his punch and there seemed to be a weird domineering aura that occasionally rose from him when he punched which sent a tremor of fear within those who sensed it.

Red realized his second Chakra point had opened and was delighted. But he didn't stop and continued punching. Now each of his punches created a pop sound, yet Red realized that punching had become significantly difficult. He realized it was because he was punching against the air. Stopping to close his eyes, Red replayed the image of the Asura's word defying punch in his mind several times before he got some inspirations. Over time the punches started becoming even louder and more people stopped to look at what was going on.

Each of Red's punches was beginning to created slight roars now until it reached a peak. People were looking at him, bewildered. Three elites who hung out among themselves began talking about Red. They were two men and a woman.

"What a mysterious punch. How can it roar so loudly?" The woman wondered. One of the others frowned when he heard that though. "Princess, there are many arts like this." He explained. "They make a lot of sound and are mostly used for the purpose of display, but they falter in actual battle. This guy is jut acting cool." He scoffed. The other guy shook his head. "Indeed. You can see that he doesn't even cultivate qi as I sense almost no waves from him. He is practicing only body cultivation, I don't think a punch at his level of strength with any attack power can make this kind of sound unless he is trying to purposely use those thunderous punches to act cool."

At that moment, Red's punches suddenly reached a peak of sound, when with the next punch the sound suddenly getting quieter gradually. The man spoke out. "Looks like he is running out of energy now. The sound of his punches is clearly reducing, which means his punches should become slower. What is the point of trying to act cool?" Red's punches kept getting quieter until they began getting muffled and eventually became silent again. Yet his punches weren't slower, they had become even faster.

"Your analysis is incorrect. It seems his punches actually got faster and even more profound." The princess said. She was very interested in this punch. Meanwhile, Red wasn't noticing his surroundings. He had kept punching and had closed his eyes when the sounds had disappeared. He felt like he had made a leap in the comprehension of the punch. Inside his mind's eye he perceived the flow of heaven's energy through his two unlocked Chakra points and discovered that once entering his body the heaven's energy's nature would change on passing through the Chakra points.

Before they entered the body they would flow like a liquid, but when they were filtered by the Chakra points they would become domineering like the raging seas. On passing through the first point they attained a domineering chaotic attribute and when that passed through the second Chakra point, that chaotic energy would be magnified even further before seeping into his body's cells. He felt a slight soreness from the permeation of the energy, but it kept making his body firmer and stronger.

At the end of the day, Red went to the physical testing room to test his body rating. He went to the punching machine and calmed himself before throwing a punch.

"2100 kg!" The machine settled on a number. But this number shocked Red. 2000 kg was equivalent to an energy realm warrior who just attained the peak of the first realm cultivating qi. Red had not even reached half way to the basic body tempering he needed to begin cultivating the Profound Asura Scripture's qi cultivation path. "How much of this is because of what happened on Puratynt B and how much of it is the Profound Asura Sutra and the blue blood?" Red wondered, before shaking his head. Luckily he could say he was cultivating along the body path.
