'Am I going to die'
after some time,
A child is floating on endless darkness. It is Kuo Fang.
'Huh! What happened. I can't feel anything under me. It's like I am floating on air'
I slowly open my eyes. My surroundings are pitch black and I am actually floating on mid air
'What!'
I look under me. There is nothing.
"Ahhhh! I- I am really Floating on air"
"What is happening here" My voice is echoing.
"Oh! I remembered now. I took the pill and then feel tremendous pain and a shock on my heart and I lose consciousness and here I am floating in mid air"
'Where am I? Did I died? Is this Hell?' all kind of questions are barging in my head. Then suddenly I saw a ray of light. It blinded me.
'Is the reaper coming to take my soul?"
But when I open my eyes I saw my grandpa he is looking straight at me.
I am confused by the whole incident and I wasn't being able to think straight and ask my grandpa "A-are you the r-reaper?"
"Hey Brat who are you calling a reaper"
I am so much scared that I hugged my grandpa tightly and tears are coming out of my eyes.
I told him everything after I lose my consciousness.
He was shocked from hearing that I was floating in Darkness.
I ask why are you shocked is something wrong with me.
He told me "I haven't hear anyone saying about floating in Darkness. Since you are practicing a righteous breathing technique you would be floating on sea or standing on cloud and the surrounding would be blue white or golden and the definition you described it's similar to Abyss. But the Abyss is just a myth. come closer let me check your body"
He put his hand on my head
The Grandpa entered Kuo fang's sea of Qi. There was nothing. The area is filled with absolute darkness.
'Hm! What is this ominous feeling? It's like someone is staring me'
He slowly turn around and he was shocked after what he saw. He saw two eyes but he is feeling that those are staring his soul and he suddenly broke the connection.
"*ha*ha*"
"Grandpa what happened? You look pale"
"Hm? No-nothing"
'I am sure that was abyss and those eyes that were staring my soul were of a Devil's. But I thought that the devil's race has been erased Hundreds of thousand years ago'
"Fang can you give me your hand?"
"Here" I gave him my hand
Then grandpa suddenly make a small cut on my fingers.
"Ah! Grandpa what are you doing?"
He collects the blood from my fingers and senses it with his Qi.
'Now I am fully confirm that he has the Direct bloodline of the Devil's and to be more specific he has the royal Devil's bloodline'
"Grandpa you are looking serious is everything alright?"
"No everything is alright and you haven't tell me about how you are feeling after taking the pill"
"I don't know what to say but I think my body has become light"
"Ok, Try circulating the Qi "
After I start circulating the Qi I can feel that the flow of Qi have become smoother and power of Qi has become more violent.
"Rest for today because from tomorrow I am going to rise the difficulty of your training"
"What! Why?"
"Because you have consumed the pill your will become stronger much more faster"
Seven months later,
Kuo Fang is running on the mountain. The whole mountain is covered with snow. The air dry and cold. He is struggling to breath.
'I can see the top. Just a bit more and today's training will end'
after Some time,
'*Ha*ha* atlast I *ha* reached the top'
"Grandpa I have completed today's training and now going towards the waterfall to clean myself"
"Okay you can go"
I am on my way to the waterfall and then look upto the sky. The sky is covered with clouds.
'its already been seven months since I have been training the lightning steps and made the first breakthrough'
I can hear the waterfall
'After making the first breakthrough I can only use the lightning steps for some minutes. Grandpa said that I have little Qi so while use this technique all my Qi depleted but when I use this technique my body get's covered by golden sparks and I became five times faster'
I reach the waterfall and put my legs in the water and sit there absent minded for some time
'*sigh* all these months I have been doing training in the morning and in the i practice alchemy and before going to sleep I practice the Internal and the external arts'
After I bath under the waterfall I went home the was food ready. Grandpa and I sit together to eat.
"You have been practicing the Lightning steps diligently and with that pace you will soon break through the second stage in some months"
"Really!"
"Yes, but you have stop practicing the Lightning steps because from tomorrow you are going to learn offensive technique"
"Grandpa! Why do you always rush me to learn a new technique after I breakthrough the first stage?" I ask grandpa angrily
"uh- umm....."
The whole room become silent
"About that, I can't say that now"
"Grandpa is everything alright"
"You don't have to worry about that and tomorrow you are going to learn a fighting technique so get a good rest"
After that he didn't say a single word and after I finished my dinner I went to my room.
' There's something wrong. Grandpa is hiding something'
The next day,
He brought me to the weapon house.
"So which weapon do you want to use ?"
I thought for some time and said "I will usey fist as my weapon"
"why"
"Because you snatching the weapon out of my hand or I can drop my weapon but my fist will never leave me It will always be attached with me"
"That's a good reason but it has short range so you have to use a weapon"
"Then I would like to use both a blade and sword"
"ok. Then follow me"
He bring me in front of a door there's a board on top of the door. It says weapon art.
We enter the room. The whole room is full of bookshelves and those bookshelves are filled with countless martial art manuals.
He bring me to the fist section.
"These shelves are filled with countless fist martial art you can choose upto three techniques"
I nod and then start searching the bookshelves one by one. The first technique that caught my attention is called Yin-Yang Fingers. Grandpa told me that all the manual here is about fist martial art then why does this book is kept here.
The next book I chose is called Poison Fist. I don't know why I picked this book but it was like this manual is calling my name to pick him and the last manual that I chooses is called True Elemental Fist.
I bring these three book to my grandpa and first thing he asks me is why did I choose the poison fist. I told him that I didn't choose this technique voluntarily It was that this book is calling my name to pick him.
'I guess that's normal because he have the constitution of Satan'
"then let's return to the training ground "
we reached the training ground.
"let me tell you about all these technique. So the first is Yin-Yang Fingers. This technique is not a fist technique I think you know that too. This technique is about attack the opponents pressure points"
"Pressure points?"
"Yes, This technique teaches you about the Pressure points that is hidden in your body. This technique trains you how to attack the pressure points precisely and quickly"
"Quickly and precisely? Is this technique all about this"
"Yes. Then the next technique is called Poison Fist to learn this technique first you need gain The Demonic Qi and to get the Demonic Qi you have to learn the Demonic Qi Breathing or the technique that has the same attributes"
"Grandpa you know that I am not going learn that technique now so stop saying the same thing"
"Then let's move onto the next manual this one is called True Elemental Fist It is a very strong technique"
"Is it?"
"Yes, But it has a requirement to learn this technique"
'Here goes all my high hopes'
"What is the requirement"
"You need breakthrough the fifth stage of Internal arts because it's consumes too much Qi"
"Are you telling me that I can only learn the Yin-Yang Fingers out of three"
"No your fingers are not strong enough to handle the training of Yin-Yang Fingers"
I became frustrated "So what am I going do now"
"Calm down, calm down here take this"
He give me a manual. This one is called Fist of destruction.
"What is this?"
"It's a manual"
"I know it's a manual, tell about this manual"
"Ok ok. Wait here"
he went inside the weapon house and come back with a big pot it's full of sand.
"Do I have to train this"
"You are quite smart. Yes you are going to train with this. The Fist of Destruction as the name says after completing this technique you fist will become destructive enough to break a boulder without using any Qi"
"Then this technique must be very strong"
"Yes but it has most hardest and painful training method. so do you still want to learn this technique"
"Grandpa you know that the technique method doesn't matter if it's make stronger"
"As I have expected. Then let's start the training. You have break this pot by hitting the sand"
"How will it break if I only hit the sand"
"From the Impact you made. You have to make a strong Impact to break the pot now stop asking stupid question and start the training and when you will break this pot I will change the sand to Iron sand and after that I will change it to pebbles and so-on but for now after breaking this pot you start learning the Yin-Yang Fingers"
"Ok I get it. so for now I have to break this pot right? Then can I use Qi?"
"You can't. since this technique will make your fist hard and strong and one more thing wear this cloth on you wrist so that it doesn't get dislocated and took off all of your hand bracers "
"Really? can I really took off my bracers"
"Yes since you can't use it's weight to make your Impact stronger"
"What does this mean will my wrist really can be dislocated"
"Well there's a slight chance that your wrist may get dislocated"
Grandpa left the training ground and I look at pot that is full of sand I reach towards it and hit the sand. The sand around my fist shakes but nothing more happened. I question myself 'Is this training ever going to end'
Nine months later,
"Grandpa see I have hit all the pressure points accurately and even broke your time record"
"Hmm, Then I guess you have completed the Yin-Yang Fingers technique"
"What! already? in such a small time"
"Yes since you have breakthrough the third stage of Breath of Dragon technique you growth has improved"
"Grandpa are you still mad made that I made the Third breakthrough"
'It took me more than seven month to break that pot and I start the training of Yin-Yang Fingers but after some time I made the third breakthrough. When grandpa heard about this he was mad at me and even start teaching me blacksmithing soo that I don't any energy or time left to train my Internal arts'
"Anyway, this technique is divided into two parts"
"What? Can you Elaborate it"
"The first part of this technique helps you make a good bonding with your body. It helps you understand your body and it's limit"
"Does that mean it helps me improve the control over my body"
"You are absolutely right"
"But how would I know that I have improved the control over my body"
"You will not understand right now but you will in the future. For a example think that your reflexes and you reaction speed have improved"
"I get it, Now tell me about the next part of this technique"
"The next part of this technique is called Yin step and Yang fist this technique is ridiculously strong and this technique trains both your fist and feet"
"How does this technique train both my fist and feet. I mean I have already expected something like that from the name of this technique"
"Let me explain, This technique is divided in two parts, one of them is Yin steps and the other one is yang fist. Yin steps make your movement nimble and agile while the yang fist is almost the same as the dragon fist but it's much more destructive"
"Grandpa I have a question about this technique"
"Ask"
"Do I have to learn this technique one by one or-" he cut me
"Yes! You have to learn it one by one or you will fell into Qi Devastation since those technique have opposite attributes. Soo tell me which technique you want to learn first"
"I am going to learn the Yin steps first and when are we going to start the training"
"Now!"
"Heh! Just I have expected"
