Chapter 12: Powerful Sects (1/2)
In the middle of the sky.
An eagle was flying. Elder Yue, the sect master and Du Chan were sitting on it.
Elder Yue sat in a lotus position while closing his eyes. Sect master and Du Chan were simply chatting.
”Your attire is really good. Did you buy it from that famous shop...what was it named?” Sect master said.
Du Chan was wearing a full black jacket and it was very luxurious.
”Heavenly King's Customs” Du Chan said.
”Haha what a bold name” the sect master laughed.
Du Chan smiled. He told the owner of the shop that it sounded arrogant but he said:
”Of course it should be arrogant. We are the best clothes' sellers in the town and the surrounding villages” so he left it like that. The clothes shop was very famous for its luxury and weird dresses.
”Umm, it will take 3 hours to reach the king's place” the sect master said with a sign. And Du Chan was sitting silently. Seeing him silent, the sect master said:
”Du Chan...You have been living peacefully and cultivated for the past 6 years. But from now on, there will be no time to even cultivate. You will see how the world works so be prepared to face everything”
”Hmm, okay” Du Chan nodded sincerely
”You're going to meet the geniuses of this kingdom. There will be many sects and families present and everyone will bring their geniuses today to get the king's attention. And you're going to face them” the sect master said while smiling.
”Why do I need to face them?” Du Chan was confused as to why he needed to fight them.
Sect master gave a weird smile and said:
”How do you think they will grab the king's attention? They will have a small battle between themselves and show-off in front of the king”
”Ohh. Does the king approve of the fights during his birthday celebrations? Wouldn't that be too disruptive?” Du Chan asked.
”Hahaha. The king loves to fight and enjoys watching them more. So he will not say no even if you wanted a battle to the death” sect master said
”So I need to fight them and prove myself” Du Chan said.
”Yes, fight them as much as you want….wait you don't have any fighting experience right?” The Sect master said worriedly.
'Lol. I killed nine people in this world and I was one of the strongest Street Fighters in my country' Du Chan laughed inside of himself but his expression didn't change.
”Hmm, that's a problem, everyone at the feast have their martial skills. If you fight them, you may lose to even the first stage of Qi Condensation lads. It is because techniques are essential to properly use Qi. You may have good control over Qi but it won't help you in combat! You need a martial arts skill!” Elder Yue opened his eyes and said.
Du Chan was silent. He didn't know what to say. Sect master was silent too.
”I know some common techniques which you can learn and use them” Elder Yue said and stood up
”This is called *Iron fist* you can't use qi with this technique. It is only used with pure body strength” Elder Yue punched in the air with his right hand.
BOOM!
It was like he punched a wall but it was in mid-air.
”Here, the second one *Iron palm*. You can use it with both body strength and with Qi. But it takes some practice to use with qi” after he said that, he pushed his palm in the air to show Du Chan.
BOOM!
Again, it was like he struck a wall but it was in the air.
'Why is it like that? There is no wall or any solid object where he punched. Then where does the sound come from?' Du Chan thought.
”Punching in the air causes the muscles to release force which clashes with the air and forms the loud sound you heard” Elder Yue explained.
Du Chan nodded, henderstood now.
”Then practice it and we will reach the king's place in 3 hours. You have three hours of time to practice both of them” Elder Yue said.
”Okay”
Du Chan was excited to learn that. Punching in the air, that sounded cool!
He stood up and started practicing the *iron fist*. When he first tried it, it was the same as a normal punch. But when he thought about the muscle forces and focused all on the fist, he punched…
