Chapter 23 - The First Elemental Move - Water Dash Part - 3

As Lan Yue was in deep thought about the animals and organisms who were associated with water he realised something. He remembered that his father had taught him a little bit of snake style martial arts or Kung Fu and snake is also an organism associated with water. So he thought he could use the snake style in his own move to perfect it.

However this much was not enough for to perfect the move because the he had only learnt a little bit of the style. That's why he was unable to incorporate the style to his move. He was again facing a challenge. He then thought about the solution for the challenge and he thought of the trait of snake which was the movement.

Yes, snake is one of a very agile and very fast moving beings. It can also move stealthy so that it's prey does not have know about the impeding attack on them.

Lan Yue thought of these two things but in this current situation it was not possible for him to go for the stealth mode. Because his opponent is his father and when they will fight it will be open and fair fight not a cheap hidden fight. So he decided not to go for that trait.

Instead he decided to go for the other trait that is the agility and movement. He decided that he will have use this trait for his running and hand movements when he will fight. Then he started to practice on that aspect.

He had already used the water movement in his running and fist movements, so he just needed to add the next movement in them and it will be done.

So he tried running there in straight and zig zag path for several times and slowly slowly he got the grip of it. Then he headed towards the next training which was his hand movements. For this training he went in front of a rock and started to attacking it.

He attacked it very ways like using a punch, chop and other things. First he started doing this in a very slow manner but with the increase in time he also increased his speed and with time his hand movements were becoming very fast.

Sometimes he will attack straight without any hesitation but then again in the next time he will attack from the side and as his hand movements were becoming faster and faster any normal human without any martial arts training will not be able to predict his hands movement and directions from where it will attack. But a martial arts master of level 10 or higher will able to do it.

The reason for it is simple it is because he has just created this technique and to completely master it and perfect it he needs perfect training and practice which requires time.

He had already planned to do this later in time but for now his main objective is to create the move. So his sole focus was now on creating the move.

After sometimes of practice he had achieved his heart desires movements of his feets and hands and now he was also focusing on his attacks. The major part or component of this move was not just the attack but it was more intended to be an agile and speed attack.

Because the main elemental inspiration for this move is Easter so he mainly focused on his own body movements which will help him to master the move easily and this will also help him to get his attack perfectly landed on the opponent.

He had almost completed the move with his shear dedication. But there is still something which was lacking that has a very significant role in completing the move.

This part was the final part that is the attack part. Since his opponents may be or may not be able to deduce his movements but they will still do or at least try to defend themselves from the upcoming attack on them. So Lan Yue wanted to make that part more impactful so that their defence would be useless in front of his move.

So again he looked towards water from some inspiration. As he looked towards the water he saw that water can go through anything as long as there is an opening may it be a big path or a small path opened it can go through that easily.

Seeing this he thought that he should do something in his move that will automatically guarantee that his opponent will have to give an opening to him. Using which he can successfully land an attack on his opponent.

So he started to think about it and he saw that whenever something tried to stop water in its path, water either hits it with strong force or tried to slowly and steadily crack open that object so that it pass through it.

Be gently or forcefully water always cleared it's obstacles from its path. So he thought about two ways, first being that he can use a gentle force of his energy to make his opponent being unstable in his position.

Then the second one was to gather all his and then try to attack his opponent so that it will make his opponent to lose his balance and taking that chance to his advantage he can attack his opponent.

But then thought that his opponent is a level 10 martial artist so he can't do any of it. Rather at that moment he formulated a new method for that problem.

He decided to use the illusion technique. His father has told him that many martial artists use this type of technique to fool his or her opponents so that the opponents will let their guards down and at that particular moment they can attack their opponent.

He decided to do this and he tried this method on the rock immediately. First he take some steps away from the rock and then he ran towards it. But his running was rather confusing as he was running in both types that is in straight path and zig zag path.

The black clothed man who was also watching this first also got confused as to why or what movements or moves Lan Yue was performing but he could not understand anything at that moment.

Then when he reached bear the rock he started his attacks first starting slowly then increasing his speed and hand movements and then changing his hands attack direction.

Then for the final part of the attack to finish it all of he tried his new method which he just formulated a few moments ago.

He suddenly slowed down his hand movements and then he took his fist away and then suddenly he attacked slowly towards the upper left part the rock considering it to be the place where heart is situated in human body.

The reason was simple for doing that any attack near or on that particular place make the opponent to stop that attack as soon as possible without any delay and then would not think of anything and will just try to stop that incoming attack blocking.

Then after attacking the upper left part of the rock he suddenly kicked the rock. This think took the black clothed man with surprise as he was quite amazed at the thinking of Lan Yue.

He found it really amusing that he had thought of integrating the illusion technique in his move in this way. This was quite shocking for him too. He really thanked himself inwardly for choosing to watch Lan Yue practice his new rather than staying behind to watch Lan Xiang giving some kids running training.

He was impressed with Lan Yue and for the first time in his life after a certain time he had a faint appearance of smile on his face.

On the other hand Lan Yue was quite happy that finally with his first ever elemental move being completed and as he has expected everything went that way.

Then he thought that as he has completed his he still needed sometime to practice it so he started to practice the move again and again for like 8 to 10 times and then on the 11th turn his father called him back.

So he decided to head back there but before going he thought what he would name his move and then he suddenly realised something or to be very precise he remembered something and then muttered, "WATER DASH" this will the name of the move. Then after the naming he looked at every direction and shouted that, "Thank you whoever you are for helping me to complete my move."

And after saying this he left to meet his father and and his friends with the black clothed man also following him.
