Bab 47: Developing a Dangerous Technique
"My apologies. I was too rash. Now, I ended up in this kind of situation." Zi Ji said to a smaller girl next to her.
It looked quite amusing that she was this submissive to such a small girl…
"... It's not your fault. I, myself have underestimated his potential and power." Gu Yue said with a resigned sigh.
"...then Your Excellency what are you going to do?" The purple-haired Abyss Demon Dragon asked with slightly widened eyes. Even the Silver Dragon King has underestimated Xue Long!?
Just how monstrous is he then? Truthfully she was at crossroads here. If Silver Dragon King doesn't know what to do, then she will resign herself to be with Golden Dragon King… its the most obvious solution then…
"...I don't know… I am still training and recovering my cultivation…" The Silver Dragon girl said with a resigned voice. Sure her cultivation is rapidly advancing…but it's lacking the same kind of depth as Xue Long's. His cultivation is like an ocean while her's feels like a Lake by this point.
It appears he has the Golden Dragon King Core. She has her Silver Dragon Core. But… the difference between those… it's way…way different. It shouldn't be like this… it simply shouldn't…
But he is constantly by leaps and bounds going forward! While she is like a tired runner trying to chase after him.
Hearing how Silver Dragon King answered made Zi Ji realise that it's pointless… she is a Spirit Beast! over 270 thousand years old! A Great Beast! A dragon, like her, follows strength!
She understands loyalty is important. But loyalty has to be answered back!
And at this moment when she needs help the most. She ain't getting any of it!
"Your Excellency… since you can't help me out of this situation then I am sad to say going have to be loyal to my new King." The Dragoness said with a pained voice.
This made Gu Yue snap her gaze and look at Zi Ji. An understanding glint passed through her eyes. If she is to compare herself and Xue Long…
There is no competition…
The Silver Dragon King clenched her right hard.
As a fellow spirit beast at her core, she knows what Zi Ji is doing. She already is following Xue Long because she lost. But now she is going to follow him with her own will because it's simply better for her.
"...I understand."
"I won't going to say anything to him about you. Think of this as my last parting gift." As Zi Ji said, she disappeared from her position leaving behind quite conflicted Gu Yue.
The girl bit her lip trying to get over the fact she was one step away from being found out.
Who knows what Xue Long would do?
'Knowing him… he most likely would keep me closer or even force me to become one of his servants.'
Thinking about this from a different perspective… it might be even better if she was his maid in the first place!
For a moment she even thought about revealing herself and telling him about Dragon God… would someone proud as he would want to inherit the Dragon God position?
Her eyebrows furrowed… she needs to do some more research and study about his character.
~~~~~~Same Time, In Teacher's Meeting Room~~~~~~
"The event I am planning is quite simple. Each year there will be an academy recruiting campaign.
Imperial Academy will invite all top Academies to participate and impress all the 12-year-olds who will be coming here."
Xue Long said that as he rolled out a map of the Imperial Academy grounds.
An entire section of the Academy is turned into festival grounds. There will be food stands, games, sparing grounds and other things.
"The best part is that some of the ticket sales will go to these academies." Xue Long said that with a grin.
"But why?"
"To make them come to us. In other words… there is a chance that they will not want to come here. Either don't want to embarrass themselves or feel reluctant. But the moment they hear that they will get money out of this…"
"They will come…" one of the teachers said with realisation.
"Indeed. But even better is that the more academies participate the longer the event is here, the longer the event, the more money we will get from other sales.
In other words, the ticket sales won't going to be our main money income." The Crown Prince said that with a satisfied look.
Once he secures the money income, he then can relax and focus on his and his maid's training.
Though the real reason for this is to attract people with unique martial spirits.
"...This is a great idea my prince but… someone needs to organise this, the logistics, the spirit Arena, stands and the seats for the people to watch this…" The Principal said that with a nervous look.
"Indeed. I already showed the plans to my father, he obviously approved of it. Though what I want from the students is to work on the festival itself. Organising and other things, like logistics. In other words, I don't want them just to be capable fighters but someone who can do other things and not just destroy enemies. Simply put character growth, responsibility and other things among them."
"I see… this is why you want this to be every year."
"Yes. This is to attract more people and to build up foundations and reputation." Xue Long explained to them.
Reputation is important in any world. More so in a cultivation one.
He wants all 10-12 years old come to his academy's event before deciding which academy to join. This will significantly improve the chance that they will join his academy instead of any other.
His reputation will iron it out, and if it's not enough for these idiots then his maids and students themselves will talk for him in the main tournament.
Their cultivation and martial arts will solidify his Imperial Academy as a peak place in Heavenly Dou Empire to study and improve themselves.
"When this event will start?"
That was the most important question.
"Next year. We need some time to build up the stadium, improve everyone's cultivation rank, made a show programme and other things. As well as allow all those merchants to build up their resources." Xue Long explained to them.
"Here is the schedule and what kind of role you all going to do." As he said that one of his maids brought a pile of booklets.
Sure enough, they all realised that the Prince is very much dead serious about this.
~~~~~~Later, Martial Field~~~~~~
After the meeting was over the Crown Prince was back at his training.
When ones starts training the most important part is stretching out before working on muscles.
To get the most out of this, recently Xue Long started Arthan's Meditation with his Tai-Chi style.
Originally it was impossible because Arthan's meditations is like Yoga and it has specific stances and movement.
However, with his Lotus Meditation reaching Stage six his comprehension exploded and using Lotus flower on himself allowed him to 'rearrange' the meditation. As long as it's Martial Art related, as long as it's movement, as long as it's self-improvement…
Arthan's meditation will work and his body will continue to improve towards Martial Arts peak.
So, using Arthan's meditation with Tai-Chi… this… gave Xue Long quite a different perspective toward the style.
Arthan's Meditation is like Lotus meditation you pondering on the subject. In this case, you ponder on the martial art.
However Xue Long bypassed it and instead of pondering he is actively using it while pondering on it. Making it double effect AND effort…
In other words, if he was anyone lesser and had less comprehension he would miserably fail this.
However… this time it's different, he is actively deciphering this and understanding from the very foundations to the final 'product'.
After he was done he released a long sigh…
This would always happen when he did that. It was something of a completely different scale from his other meditation.
He looked at his hands and did a motion of forming Yin and Yang.
"It's like taking two things and putting them together to make one.
However, the opposite is also true…you take one thing and make it into two… like take a human and do this and you will have a body and a soul." As he said that he did this motion several more times.
Once the hand parts were done he did the same with the legs putting one at the front and one at the back.
However, it was lacking something… so instead, he reworked on the motions. Motions have the importance of symbolism, especially the ones he is working on.
Eventually… he came up with double movement at the same time. Something is quite difficult to do for a human who is created to be at the best when doing one thing instead of doing two.
This was especially effective in what he was working on at this moment.
Before long… blue and white glow manifested.
One hand was glowing blue and the other one was glowing white.
Same with the legs as he did that double motion…
When he was done… there was a ball of Yin and Yang in his hands as he thrusted this ball forward and released towards a mannequin.
Instead of exploding how it does usually it had a different kind of explosion…
All the wood and other materials got separated from each other and that was it…
"Damn…"
He exclaimed with disbelief as he walked forward and inspected the Mannequin.
The woods was away from other materials like nails and ropes. It's like it was forcefully separated without any sort of damage!
"...Did I just invent something extremely dangerous and overpowered?" He said that to himself as he picked up a piece of wood.
"Though the movement takes alot of focus, and I would be extremely open all the time but if I could hit an enemy with this I could eject his soul from his body…" Xue Long said with a frown as he inspected a perfectly fine piece of wood.
There are other uses for this kind of technique instead of…
'Tang Wutong… I could help her out with this… though I need more training before I can do something serious as that…'
The Crown Prince thought to himself as he was thinking to help her merge with a body or something like that. He could even sever her from the lion and attach her to something else.
This way she could see more stuff instead of just the same and already boring palace or follow an Qiu'er all the time…
'For now… I should return to the cores… I didn't expect to end up creating something crazy for my warm-up…' He shook his head before walking over to his usual spot.
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
"Long! I am sorry!!!"
"?" Xue Long stopped in his tracks for a second as he heard his future wife's voice.
Qian Renxue slammed into her Fiance before starting to snuggle into his chest like some sort of animal who just returned from an extended period of not being at home.
"Sorry for what?"
"That you had to be with that woman for several days!" The blonde angel girl said that with an almost teary tone.
"Hmm? Oh that! It's fine. She wanted to learn my meditation techniques."
Her eyes widened to a large degree as she understood what this means!
"W-What did she learn!?"
"Lotus and Arthan."
Now she got even more serious.
"How quickly did she do it? How quickly did she pick it up!?"
"Well… it took her days to pass the second stage of Lotus meditation. I used my Lotus Flower to help her out."
"...Oh? It was hard for her?" Qian Renxue said that with a quite smug voice. She passed this without Lotus Flower's assistance! This means she is better! Right!?
"Quite difficult. Though Arthan's was very easy for her. She picked it up quite effortlessly." The Crown Prince said as he recalled how quickly she grasped the Martial Arts aspect of it.
"...and what is the progress of Heaven and Earth?"
"Didn't touch upon it."
"What is your prediction on it?" Now she very seriously asked him. For the girl, it was like preparations for all-out total war and she is asking for details on her greatest enemy.
"Difficult to say. You need third-stage, remember?"
"True… well, enough about this! I want to hear what else you did in that time!" As she said that the girl started to pull him deeper into their Palace. It's time for her to take all of his attention! She needs to get back for all that lost time!
