Chương 13: Techniques
"I like it too.. Thank you Mistress.." The little girl beamed at her.
"There.. There.." She patted the girl's head gently. "Little Crystal, can you show me around?"
"Of course, Mistress.."
"Ah.. about that.. You can call me Jia instead.." Song Jia scratched her ear, feeling awkward. She thought about having her call her Big Sister. But it would be weird since the little girl had masters before her. That means she's older than Jia by a lot.
"...Alright… Jia, do you notice something about this space?"
"Ah?"
"Try to feel around you.."
Song Jia closed her eyes, calmed her mind and felt everything around her. A moment later, her eyes opened, and gasped.
"Whoa! It's denser than outside.. Does that mean I can cultivate better here?" Right now, she's finding it hard to control her excitement.
Earlier, she had been thinking of becoming stronger. And now, she has a space where she can cultivate better and possibly faster!
Talk about 'Great Timing'!
"That's right. The Spiritual energy in this space is denser compared to outside. Do you see those plants and fruits planted here in the yard?"
"Hmm.. what about it?"
"Since it's here, it would also absorb the spiritual energy. The spirit fruits outside are nothing compared to what you have here. Go ahead and try!"
With that, Song Jia walked towards one fruit tree and plucked one. "Hmmm.. This smells sweet.."
She took a bite and the juices flowed inside her mouth. "This tastes so good! Also, it feels so refreshing. My body was aching earlier from all that lying down. Now, the body aches are gone! Amazing!"
She was pleased at this nice surprise and took a few and placed it in her interspatial ring. She would eat it once she goes back. She continued to eat the one she took a bite on.
"Come. Let me show you the inside of your room." Crystal flew towards the room that looks like an apartment unit.
Song Jia felt weird looking at the familiar room. It even felt stranger when it's Crystal who's the one giving her a tour.
They went from room to room and it was looking like an exact replica of her apartment unit.
However, she was slightly wrong on one part.
There were a few more rooms in it as well.
"Check inside!" Crystal opened one of the extra rooms.
Inside was a humongous furnace. "This is.. A furnace?"
"Yes, this is used for refining pills."
Song Jia covered her mouth in shock. True enough, she could smell the different smell of herbs. It was like the one under the Book Pavilion.
She noticed the table with instruments, shelves full of pill bottles, baskets full of herbs and books for methods were arranged neatly on the shelves as well.
"Most of the ingredients that my previous master used were from here and the ones at the yard."
"Oh? It hasn't run out yet?" Song Jia wondered if the Alchemist didn't regularly refine pills or that he used to have so much more than what's in the basket now. The baskets were still filled to the brim.
"As long as it's been planted here, I could harvest it and keep it here." Little Crystal smiled widely, as if waiting for her praise.
"You can do that?! You're amazing!" Song Jia even clapped making Little Crystal elated.
"Let's go, there's still more to see.." Little Crystal was about to go to the next room when Song Jia stopped her.
"No rush. I can look anytime. Right now I need to rest up because I have to start my training tomorrow."
"Training?"
"Yes.. I have to become stronger.. My uncle is going to teach me.."
"Hmm.. Then, I'll give you something that might help you." The little girl flew out of the door and went inside another room. Her mistress quickly followed.
Little Crystal handed her a stack of scrolls.
"What are these?" She held the scrolls gently, afraid it would tear.
"These are Martial arts techniques that you can study on. See if you can use it.."
"Oh.. Thanks. Then I'll start reading it now.." She headed to where her living room was at and began to read through the scrolls.
Back at the Black Moon Organization, if someone would ask them who is the most skilled in Martial arts in their entire organization. They would say it's Luna.
But in this world, Song Jia didn't want to take any chances. Back then the opponents were only normal human beings. They were only aided by weapons so it's a bit time-consuming in taking them down. But here, everyone has the ability to kill. Some even don't need weapons and would only use their physical strength or their spirit skills. Also, to defeat her opponents, she should at least learn the martial arts techniques they might use so she can find a way to counter them.
Right now she's reading this technique called Kukmakyu. There are also drawings under every step.
'Kukmakyu is a mixed martial art that focuses on thrashing your opponent by exploiting weakness in your opponent and using your body's own strengths. The primary focus lies on both joint locks and speed and it often relies on the agility and speed of yourself.
The biggest strength of Kukmakyu is the ability to continue fighting even after suffering heavy injuries. By exploiting the pressure points of both fighters your opponent will likely leave an opening, allowing you to be the dominant force in this encounter.
On the other hand the biggest weakness of Kukmakyu is that it is a purely one on one style. When facing multiple opponents all you can do is try to force your opponent into a position you can dominate from.'
After reading through one and internalizing it, she got up from the couch and went to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and a grin plastered on her lips as she took out a can of soda from inside.
"Click! Pfff" She opened it and drank a gulp. "Ahhhh…"
She brought it to the living room and read another scroll. This time the technique is called Croonkenzu.
'Croonkenzu is a defensive martial art that focuses on paralyzing your opponent by focusing solely on your opponent's movements, figuring out their weakness and exploiting it. The primary focus lies on both shifts in balance and foot sweeps and it often relies on the agility and quick thinking of yourself primarily, but also of your opponent.
The biggest strength of Croonkenzu is being quite well rounded and thus giving you a bag of tricks for all sorts of situations. By capitalizing the quick movements of yourself your opponent often lacks the knowledge to respond well enough, which just helps pave the road to victory.
On the other hand the biggest weakness of Croonkenzu is a common feeling of being in control even when you might not be. When you're overconfident you could quickly end up overpowered.'
