Chapter 616 The Engagement (1/2)
Realizing that there was still quite some time before the night fell, Zachary decided to tell train Zelvag. ”Listen, Zelvag. Seeing as you've successfully learned to use martial energy, next, I'll teach you the simplest martial skill of all. The power of the martial skill combined with martial energy will be much stronger than anything you've experienced before.”
”Okay!” Zelvag agreed. Zelvag had a general understanding of what martial arts were, and he often saw Imperial Level warriors of Xiao Clan who entered the forbidden area perform such skills.
”Pay attention! First of all, when learning martial arts, you have to keep in mind the importance of using your imagination. You must visually imagine your martial energy into a shape that you can release,” Zachary explained slowly, making sure that Zelvag was catching every word.
”Imagination, you say? Do you mean martial energy can be transformed into meat through my imagination?” Zelvag asked, trying to understand exactly what he was being taught.
Zachary burst out in loud laughter. He was greatly amused by Zelvag's deep obsessiveness with food.
”Of course not, Zelvag! Have you ever seen anyone fight with others by releasing slabs of steak? Come on, big guy! Ha-ha!” Zachary asked, unable to withhold his laughter. After all, it was a pretty funny imaginary sight.
”You're right. I haven't,” Zelvag concluded, shaking his head.
”Different martial arts have different forms of martial energy. Today, I will teach you the simplest martial skill in the form of a fist,” Zachary continued, putting the meat scenario quickly behind them.
”Wow! I'm excited! Please, do teach!” Zelvag urged, outwardly delighted.
Without further ado, Zachary began guiding Zelvag with the simplest fist skill at the Mortal Level. Zelvag was, surprisingly enough, a quick learner when it came to understanding martial arts. He mastered the fist skill's basic points very quickly. However, due to his obsessiveness with meat, it was often impossible for him to form the correct shape of martial energy and release it appropriately.
When Zelvag was concentrated on learning something new, time passed faster than ever before. Before they had the chance to realize it, night had fallen and a bright, round moon was gradually rising outside the cave, illuminating the darkening sky.
'The Leader should be here just about now, ' Zachary thought to himself, looking in all directions outside the cave.
It was at that exact moment that a very strong aura began to rise from afar, coming closer and closer to the cave. Zachary's expression changed as soon as he sensed it, his eyes widening in fear, because this aura's strength was far above the Sage Level. He could feel it.
