The Four Requirements

"There are four requirements to learn Doragonken," Raijah said as he kept his stance.

"The first is unmatched physical strength," Raijah said as he ripped his shirt, revealing his muscular physique.

Raijah's body was extremely well built. He had bulging muscles at every part of his body, and he had glistening rock-hard abs.

After ripping his shirt, Raijah had nothing but his sweatpants and shoes on.

Raijah stretched his hand into the air and, a shield of red lightning surrounded the castle.

He went back into his stance and said, "let me show you real physical strength."

Raijah dashed towards Kan, who had coated his body with steel.

"You can't break my steel!" Kan shouted, "It's the ultimate defense!"

"A 100-ton bodysuit," Raijah said as he struck Kan in the chest.

Raijah's fist shattered Kan's steel on impact. The punch sent Kan flying as he coughed up blood.

"What?" Kan said, "what's going on?"

Raijah appeared behind Kan, who was flying towards the wall of lightning.

"Every day I trained, I wore a 100-ton bodysuit to increase my strength."

"Doragonken: Dragon spin kick!"

Raijah spun in the air before swinging his foot at Kan's face.

The attack crushed Kan's skull as he began to cough up even more blood.

Kan landed back on the castle roof and, he scrambled to his feet.

Raijah also landed on the castle roof, "what makes Doragonken so hard to learn is the fact that it relies on a deadly combination of speed and strength. Lacking in either would make you unable to master it."

"That leads me to the second requirement," Raijah said as he sprinted towards Kan, "unmatched speed."

Raijah appeared behind Kan and, Kan attempted to strike him.

Raijah reappeared above him and continued to circle around Kan.

"How is he so fast!" Kan shouted as his blows continued to miss the mark.

"To obtain this level of speed, every day, I had to run at full speed around our continent while wearing that 100-ton bodysuit."

Val landed on the edge of the rooftop and began to watch the fight.

The bodies of the guards she had defeated lay on the ground below them.

"Raijah's completely surpassing him in speed," Val examined, "just how much work did it take for him to master Doragonken."

"Doragonken: Dragon Roundhouse Kick!"

Raijah stopped and swung his foot in a semi-circular motion. He struck Kan in the side of the neck and, the sound of bones cracking followed.

Kan yelled out in pain as he touched his dismembered face.

"Steel Prana: Steel hammer!"

A giant steel hammer appeared in Kan's hand and, he swung it down at Raijah.

"Doragonken: Fang Strike!"

Raijah pointed two fingers upwards and, as he hit the steel hammer, it shattered to pieces.

"No!" Kan shouted with a face contorted with rage, "no, no, no! Mere martial arts can't be enough to beat someone with prana!"

"Steel Prana: Steel Tonnage!"

Five massive steel walls appeared above the castle. They were larger than the castle and reached the red lightning wall Raijah had made.

"You lifted 100-tons daily for your training?" Kan said with a proud laugh, "try a million!"

He released the steel walls and, as they fell towards Raijah, a grin formed on his face.

"What?" Kan said, "do you not realize what's about to happen!"

Raijah jumped into the air as the steel walls neared the castle.

"Doragonken: Dragon Flick!"

Raijah flicked his middle finger at the first steel wall.

A metallic groan followed as the first wall exploded, followed by the second, and up to the fifth and final one.

Raijah landed on the ground and, Kan looked up with a worried expression, "there isn't even a piece of them left and, all he did was flick. How is it possible to constantly keep outputting such fast and strong attacks."

"That's the third requirement," Raijah said as he sprinted towards Kan, "incredible stamina. To learn Doragonken and keep up the mix of strong and fast attacks, you must have incredible stamina."

"During my training, there were no breaks nor time-outs. During those runs in the bodysuit, I did not stop. I did not give up and, I had to fight a battle against my tiredness."

"I don't care!" Kan shouted.

"Steel Prana: Blazing Drill!"

Kan's arm turned into a giant spinning drill.

"I'll drill your head in!" Kan barked as he sprinted towards Raijah with his drill pointed forward.

"Doragonken: Dragon Catcher!"

Raijah spun his foot in a semi-circular motion and, his leg wrapped around the drill.

"What's going on?" Kan asked, "the drill should be ripping through your body.

"What'd I tell you about my physical strength?" Raijah replied as he squeezed the drill with the leg he had wrapped around it.

The drill broke to pieces, leaving Kan open to attacks.

"Doragonken: Fang Kick!"

Raijah kicked Kan in the chest and, a screeching sound of bones cracking followed.

"Doragonken: Twin-Dragon Kick!"

Raijah backflipped and, his feet slammed into Kan's jaw, sending him soaring into the air.

Raijah flew up after him and aimed at his jaw once again.

"Doragonken: Dragon Fist!"

Raijah slammed his fist into Kan's jaw, causing him to soar higher in the air.

"And my favorite attack," Raijah said, "the attack made by that blue dragon."

"Doragonken: Blue Dragon's Kick!"

The Blue Dragon's Kick was an attack made by Blue the dragon. It is done by swinging your foot at such speeds that it causes a blue-colored glow to surround your foot.

Raijah soared above Kan and swung his foot downwards.

His foot moved so fast that it created a blue glow. Raijah's foot slammed into the top of Kan's head, sending him flying back to the ground.

Kan crashed into the floor beside the castle and, a large crater formed. Raijah landed beside him and took a deep breath.

Val jumped off the roof and ran towards Raijah, who towered above Kan's body.

"You did it!" Val exclaimed.

Raijah looked towards Kan's unconscious body. He was bleeding from the mouth and had several injuries.

"Yeah," Raijah replied with a proud smile, "I did."
