453 Martial Arts 1 (1/2)

Chapter 453: Martial Arts 1

The two consecutive strengthening effects caused Garen to think deeper.

It was evidently the effect of totem fusion and martial art training. With his martial arts level, it naturally wasn’t hard to identify. Even if no adjustments were made to the Myriad Water Jasper Technique, there was already a feeling of beyond recognition.

”What if I had not fused with the Nine Headed Hydra but with other totems? Will the additional strengthening effects be different?” He gave some thought. ”This fusion method could be a self-propelled evolution method. It changes to suit the user into a form that suits the user the most.”

In simple terms, the Myriad Water Jasper technique was just the basic foundation. As different totem users reach fifth form and fuse with different totems, the effects of the techniques will also be different.

At this time, Garen had a subtle realization. If he passed on his techniques to a normal person and trained him to the peak, the person might have similar effects with himself. Even if the power was slightly lesser, it was just a matter of compatibility.

If he continued to fuse with the Nine Headed Hydra, even he himself wasn’t clear how his techniques would evolve and strengthen.

This effect was as if his martial arts were using the totem fusion to evolve itself into a higher level.

If ten thousand people were trained in the Myriad Water Jasper Technique, there might be ten thousand different skills.

”Are martial arts the ultimate foundation?”

Sitting cross-legged in the garden, confusion arose in Garen’s mind.

Martial arts, totems, and oneself. There was a mysterious connection between these three elements, although they seemed independent. In fact, they were one.

Within his churning mind, he secretly made a decision.

In this world, among totem users, martial arts peaked at the fourth form. In fact, only fifth form masters were qualified to train. Normal humans had no chance to even learn. Without sufficient abilities, there weren't much benefits in training. At most, it was to strengthen the body.

Among the normal humans, the Master-level elites had their own secret training methods similar to martial arts. It was just far less advanced compared to the level in his previous world.

It could be because of the existence of totem users, the martial arts of normal humans did not have a chance to shine.

But Garen could now see a silver lining for normal humans.

Initially the qualifications to learn the Myriad Water Jasper Technique were relatively demanding, but it was far simpler than a totem user’s qualifications. At least, the proportion among ordinary people would be far larger. There would be at least be one among a hundred who can train in this technique.

Now, the evolved technique had faintly surpassed the martial arts’ innate level.

The evolved martial arts could completely change the human structure. It has reached the level where it can evolve the body.

As Garen thought, he continued training the next level according to the instructions given by Celine.

Strangely, after fusing with the first dragon head, the Myriad Water Jasper Technique was no longer difficult for him. With only ten minutes or so, he entered the second level.

Initially he had completely understood the whole technique. As he was on the level of the King of the Century, the effects should have taken place long ago, but they've only happened now. Not earlier or later, but now.

This startled Garen a bit.

Since he was trained in the Divine Statue Technique, he had thoroughly opened the blood vessels within his body long ago. His vitality attribute was already strengthened until 10 points. In addition to the Nine Headed Hydra’s heart, he was on a mind boggling level.

These effects should be natural.

But Garen felt a little strange.

He quickly surpassed the second level. For a commoner-grade martial art, the Myriad Water Jasper technique wouldn’t be considered difficult to learn for Garen’s level. Next, it was the third level.

The third level took an hour. It cleared all the hidden vessels, and even some complicated vessels in the brain.

For a normal martial artist, without Garen’s foundation in the Divine Statue Technique, his elite control of blood flow and his deep understanding on martial arts, it might take ten years.

Next was the fourth level. He was on a roll. Few of the main blood vessels were the same as Garen’s Divine Statue Technique. He quickly surpassed that level.

For the fifth and final level, most of the effects were in the brain. It encompassed countless tiny blood vessels and nerves.

In summary, the fifth level used a unique method to activate certain areas in the brain to achieve the supernatural ability of controlling water.

This was the true form of the Myriad Water Jasper technique.

After surpassing five levels to the top in one go, Garen finally opened his eyes. The surroundings were in total silence.

It was already midnight.

The surrounding air was frigid. The garden of flowers and grasses let out a rhythmic sound in the wind.

The two oil lamps hanging on the roof glowed a faint yellow light.

After reaching the peak of the Myriad Water Jasper Technique, some combat skills would of course come as one.

Garen stretched out his hand and grabbed lightly. Droplets of moisture quietly gathered from the surrounding into his hand, forming water beads.

The perfectly round water beads floated quietly on top Garen’s palm. Their surfaces clearly reflected the surroundings.

Garen swung one of his hands.

Huaaa!!!

A clear stream of water gathered in the air before him to form a water dragon. The water dragon was circling around constantly like a clock.

Yet, Garen let out a sigh of disappointment.
