Finally I'm on to blending the Blooming Lotus and Divine Dragon styles. This just is actually proving to be much easier than I expected. Just keep both styles in mind and do what feels right is the basic premise of the blending. Using the more flowing style of the Blooming Lotus to move between attacks, adding the solidified energy enhancements of the Divine Dragon style to the Blooming Lotus style kicks and flips. Somehow, it just makes sense.
Elder Po has left me alone to work on it all this week, so his preferences and input don't affect my attempt to form my first personalized techniques. The great test will come on the tenth day of practicing the blending technique, when I will be putting it to use against another disciple, so Elder Po can decide if I've made an improvement and give guidance on where to take it from there.
