Chapter 3: Asurava
Yang Cheng En was sitting in his room looking through the window and suddenly Tang Le squat at the edge of the window and said.
"Kid tomorrow at noon go to the waterfall and wait for me there I have something to teach you."
Yang Cheng En just smiles at the middle age man and push him down from his window.
BAM
"That is for the cat face." Yang Cheng En said with a tinge of happiness because he got his revenge.
"Ok, I deserve that, just don't be late tomorrow I know that you have been wanting to learn this for years. "Tang Le said with a smile and left Yang Cheng En house.
Yang Cheng En looks into the sky and clenches his injured fist with a resolute look on his face he said to himself.
"I finally can take my first step towards my goals."
The next day, on a plain a youth was lying down on the ground enjoying the breeze and the sound of the waterfall.
"Ohh, you are early today. "Tang Le walk slowly toward the youth, today instead of wearing his silver battle armor today he is wearing a light blue robe that makes him look more casual and younger.
Yang Cheng En stands up and up and looks at him trying to say something.
Tang Le interrupt him and said, "Handsome aren't I?" While smiling widely.
Yang Cheng En ignores Tang Le and said: "Let us just start okay?"
SHOUH
A sword spin toward Yang Cheng En and Yang Cheng En holds up his scabbard and point it toward the sword and sheath it in midair.
Tang Le said in a casual tone yet his words bring a formless pressure to the youth "Keep it well it is something important, now let's start." the mood once again turns back normal.
"I think that the young master of spring city would at least know about asurava but I will explain it to you in detail."
"As you know there is a type of energy in this world calls darka, there are two types of this energy inner darka and outer darka."
"This energy is used for two things outer darka is used for fighting and is renewable while inner darka is used to keep us alive but is not renewable."
Yang Cheng En scratches his head in confusion while smiling at Tang Le.
"Let me explain it this way. "Tang Le takes out a balloon and an empty jar.
Then he fills the balloon and the jar with water from the waterfall then places them in front of the youth.
"In our body, there is two places where the darka are stored one is the heart and the other one is the middle dantian."
Drip Drip.
The water from inside the balloon starts to drip out drop by drop slowly.
"This is why you die when the inner darka in your heart runs out you would have probably reached old age, dying from a fatal injury or a disease."
"When a balloon is tied up you cannot add any more water into it."Tang Le said with a smile.
"Can't you just close that hole to prevent the inner darka from leaking out? "Yang Cheng En asked while smiling back at Tang Le.
"I like to see you dig your heart out and put a plaster on it."Tang Le reply makes Yang Cheng En laugh loudly.
"Can you give me an example? "Yang Cheng En asked again.
Splash
Tang Le just throws the water balloon at Yang Cheng En face making him all wet.
"This is how the outer darka works?" Tang Le quickly changes the topic.
Tang Le points at the jar full with water and said: "This is when your middle dantian is full this is what we cultivators call a full tank."
Then he pours out the water inside the jar and said to the youth.
"When cultivators fight we use darka so just like the jar the more we use the lesser there is in the dantian."
Then Tang Le refills the jar with water and said to Yang Cheng En again.
"When we rest the darka from the surrounding is absorb into our dantian."
When Tang Le saw the youth trying to say something he quickly stops him and points at the opening of the jar.
"You can replenish your outer darka but you cannot replenish your inner darka just like how you can refill a jar but you cannot refill a balloon. Tang Le said.
"Then there is the states of darka and the elemental darka. "Tang Le then took out two pieces of paper and shows them to the youth.
"Just like water darka have also three states the first is formless darka."
A black colored aura rises up from Tang Le body.
"Formless darka can be seen but cannot be touched."
Then Tang Le holds out his hand and a black colored liquid comes out from his palm.
"This is liquid darka and is formed by compressing the formless state of darka into a liquid, it has a higher concentration of darka in it and cultivators can use this to recover their darka in a pinch."
Then Tang Le reabsorbs the liquid into his palm and clenches his fist.
He unclenches his fist and a few black crystals could be seen on his palm.
"This is solid darka it is made out of pure darka and cannot be consumed like liquid darka due to it being able to destroy the dantian."
"As for elemental darka it is related to two things."
"The first is your affinity, for example, I have an affinity for wind while possessing another element."
A gust of wind suddenly flares up out of nowhere blowing at the both of them.
"For affinity, it actually relies on luck because not everybody had an affinity to an element."
Yang Cheng En raise his hand and asked: "How many elements are there out there actually?"
"Don't know from my experience even things that cannot be considered an element like emotion actually becomes an element for a few cultivators."
"But they achieve this with the second thing which is a martial spirit."
"Some martial spirits possess an element of their own and can provide their user an element."
"Focusing on one element is the best during your path of cultivation, cultivating dual element is harder to achieve because you need to take both elements into consideration."
"For example do the elements complement each other or will they counter each other? Will this element that my martial spirit provides suit my fighting style?"
"Take me as an example my wind element complements my main element but I never train my wind element to its peak because I don't need to blow people away with a hurricane."
"I have even seen people who tried to cultivate three and even four elements, in the end, they all fail miserably."
"So any questions? "Tang Le asked.
Yang Cheng En raises his hand once more and asked. "What is a martial spirit?"
