Stunned by the treasures he just acquired, A'keal quickly started reading this ancient book. Having the opportunity to learn techniques from ancient martial art books was not something that happened every day.
[Soaring Dragon Sword Technique]
[Light Step Mastery]
[Dragon god's Force technique]
All of these book names sounded extravagant. But what caught A'keal's eye was the "Dragon god's Force Technique". There have ever only been 2 dragons who reached the realm of the dragon god. Considering where A'keal was, he could automatically guess who left these books here.
"No way, is this the Ancient One's inheritance?", asked A'keal while in shock.
Many had tried to find the Ancient One's inheritance, but to no avail. Thinking about it now, it wasn't surprising that Nadoir would keep his inheritance on the land he privately owned.
After skimming the pages of these 3 books. A'keal saw how extraordinary these books were. The techniques in these books were the most advanced in their field. They practically had no flaws.
A'keal started training with the "Dragon god's Force technique". If he wanted to learn the skills of the other two books, he first needed to build a foundation.
A'keal started reading the Dragon god's Force technique
'To whoever is reading this, I have left this book knowing that someday, a person resembling my powers will come. Before you can learn this technique, there are a few things you must know about me and the origins of this technique. As you might have guessed, my name is Nadoir; also referred to as the Emperor of the Dragon Realm. Before I achieved the title of Dragon God. I had another title not as well known. Nadoir, the weakling.'
I was born a dragon, but I was the weakest of them all. I was considered useless, someone with no future, since I couldn't even hold a sword. Despite this, I did not let it stop me. After 15 years of practice, I figured out why I couldn't improve. Although born a dragon, I was not like them.'
'I saw that my powers were similar to the dragons, yet very different at the same time. Every time I practiced their techniques, there was this invisible barrier that kept limiting my achievements. It was simply not compatible with me.'
'Seeing this futile struggle, I decided to do inner training of my own. After 20 years, I created a peerless force technique. The one only a dragon of my kind could comprehend. This book is unique from the other 2 books I have left behind. It can choose its owner. I have left this technique for 2 reasons.'
First of all, I know that whoever reads this is also suffering from hopelessness right now. There is hope that this technique can alleviate that feeling of hopelessness. This is the selfishness of an old dragon who has experienced being weak.
'The second is the most significant of all. If you are truly destined to be the owner of this technique, I must warn you that there will be great hurdles ahead. Because this technique was designed for dragons of my kind, you too will face the same burdens. Just as I have left my legacy in this world, I wonder what you'll leave behind.'
As A'keal read those last lines, he became extremely confused. "What were the hurdles I would need to face? What makes me different from regular dragons? Further, how am I related to the Ancient One? A'keal asks himself. These questions would remain unanswered.
Shortly after, the books evaporated in the air and a flood of knowledge entered A'keal's head.
UGHHHHH!
My head! A'keal screamed.
After about 5 minutes, the knowledge stopped entering A'keal's head. Quickly, after the pain had subsided, A'keal felt different. He had learned the most powerful force technique to have existed.
A'keal quickly started following the steps in his mind to practice this technique. He sat in the lotus position and started following the breathing patterns that were written in the book.
4 minutes after practicing the technique, A'keal could feel the air around him getting warmer.
8 minutes afterward, his whole body was getting hot.
10 minutes passed and A'keal could feel his lower abdomen burning. He kept pushing through and eventually started to feel force energy.
Phew...
A'keal was exhausted after only practicing the technique for 10 minutes.
Although, A'keal was only getting introduced to the basics of Force energy. For a first rank to even feel force was unheard of. This made A'keal extremely satisfied.
3 days passed and A'keal diligently kept practicing the Dragon god's Force technique. He wanted to at least get the basics down before practicing the other books. During this brief period, A'keal showed dramatic improvement. The amount of time he could practice the technique shot up to 120 minutes. He was not even as tired when he finished as before.
As compared to before, A'keal could feel that he was improving. A'keal was no longer restricted by that barrier. All A'keal had to do now was continue practicing and obtain beginner force energy.
7 days had passed
A'keal was in the lotus position again practicing the 'Dragon god's Force technique'. This time, however, A'keal could feel a breakthrough.
"Come on, I only need one more push. I can make it to the next level" A'keal thought.
2 minutes later, scorching white-blue flames like energy surrounded A'keal's body, and scales started appearing. He had done it. A'keal reached the basics of force energy. In this breakthrough, A'keal rose from a beginner Dragon Knight to an intermediate 2nd rank Dragon Knight.
"Blue flames? I've never heard of any Dragon Knight getting blue flames as a force attribute. It must be because of the Dragon god's Force technique I'm practicing.' Thought A'keal.
A'keal was right. The only person to ever be able to use blue flames on the fire dragon clan was their founder. The Ancient One, Nadoir, welds many flames, including the notoriously famous rainbow-colored flame. The blue flames are said to be 10x more lethal than the normal flames used by the fire dragon clan. Many had tried to grasp the secret of the blue flames that Nadoir wields, but none came close to realizing it.
"If I show this in public, I would be questioned about how I manifest this flame. Is there any way I can produce normal flames? Said A'keal.
A'keal recalls a part in the book that shows him how to produce normal flames. Even after all of these events, A'keal's flames were still unusual. It was crimson, far too hot to be considered normal. But this was the best that A'keal could do right now. He would need to raise his force energy to better control his flames.
After solidifying his force energy for 4 more days, A'keal started practicing the [Light Step Mastery].
