Blazing Dragon Fist

The room settled into a comfortable atmosphere as the feast continued.

Conversations flowed easily, with everyone sharing stories and experiences.

Oasis learned more about his new companions and their training under Renald Augustine.

Now Oasis was sure that Tyla Lumina was the girl he bumped into at Mossy Hollow while she was with her guards.

It was certain she joined the academy around that time, and he also learned that she was the youngest daughter of the Lumina Family.

The feast was to his liking. Having not had a proper meal since his time with Mira, he ate everything to the last bone.

Laughter and harmony filled the dining area as the five of them exchanged conversation.

The feast went on for hours, and just before midnight, it ended.

Everyone went to their lodgings, and Master Renald announced that training would start early.

They were given a free day in honor of welcoming Oasis, but such an event might never happen again unless otherwise.

Oasis went back to his room.

From his understanding, the building to the right from the gate belonged to the girls, while the left building housed him and Tatsuo in separate rooms.

"Damn, that was great. I'm full," Oasis said as he prepared for sleep.

Before sleeping, he decided to sit at the study area and look through the manuals he had received.

"Blazing Mirage Step, huh," Oasis read the Blazing Mirage Step Manual first.

Before he knew it, it was already past midnight, and he had been studying it for about two hours.

"This is easy to follow... Am I done? Not bad... I understand everything about this one," Oasis thought.

"Maybe it's because I've already mastered the Dancing Phoenix to some extent," he thought, biting his finger.

"But this Blazing Mirage Step is inferior to my Dancing Phoenix," he mused, "but it will do for now. I will try it out tomorrow."

"Now let's try out the Blazing Dragon Fist," Oasis started studying the Blazing Dragon Fist manual just after finishing the Blazing Mirage Step.

Before he knew it, it was already morning.

He noticed the first light from his window near his study area.

"Damn it, I didn't sleep. It's already morning," Oasis exclaimed, surprised with his eyes bugged from not sleeping.

"But I'm almost done studying this Blazing Dragon Fist. It's fascinating," Oasis remarked.

"Let me get ready for the morning training," Oasis said as he left the table sluggishly.

After a few breaths, everyone, including Oasis, was in the training field in the center of the garden.

Just when you open the main gate, you meet the training field.

"Greetings, Master Renald," the four of them paid their respects, bowing slightly as they spoke, a cloud of mist from their mouths.

Master Renald raised his right hand to honor their respect.

Master Renald instructed everyone to take off their upper clothing, leaving Tyla and Liora with bandages wrapped around their chests.

"First, you all will start by cultivating. Since all of your cultivation techniques are fire-affiliated," he said.

"There is no need for me to teach you my cultivation technique since you all come from different clans and families."

"Use your family or clan cultivation techniques. The rest of you already know this since you have been here for some time," he said.

"Yes, Master," the three of them replied.

"Then get to it. No one moves from their cultivation stance for the next three hours," he commanded.

Everyone started cultivating in the lotus position, and their auras started radiating as the heat around the place began rising.

Their auras were visibly orange to red, indicative of their fire affinity. They were surprised by Oasis's blue-cyan aura, which generated more intense heat.

"What kind of cultivation technique is that? That pure energy!" Master Renald was blown away by Oasis's pure energy radiating from him.

"Is he really fire-affiliated, or is it because he has a wind affinity? But there's no mistake the energy around him is generating heat," he spoke to himself.

"Let me also start," Master Renald joined them and began cultivating.

The whole garden was now filled with heat, and the icicles on the gate and tiles of the building started melting.

The scene was a mesmerizing display of different fire-affiliated auras and energies, from orange-yellow to orange-red, and Oasis's unique blue-cyan aura.

Three hours passed without anyone losing concentration.

"Well done, everyone," Master Renald spoke.

"Now the next phase will be the Blazing Dragon Fist," he declared.

"Since the rest of you already know, start right away. I will be instructing Oasis in the main hall," he said.

Tatsuo and the girls continued practicing the forms of the Blazing Dragon Fist in the training field.

They had been doing it for about four months already and were proficient in all three martial arts.

Oasis and Master Renald went to the main hall, where Renald personally instructed Oasis and explained the rest of the technique to him.

Despite Oasis having started studying the martial art, being taught directly and practically by someone else was a whole different experience.

He had never been taught martial arts by someone else, having only learned from studying manuals.

The Blazing Dragon Fist is a powerful martial art comprising six forms, each more challenging than the last.

The first form-ember strike- focuses on basic strikes infused with fire energy.

The second form-Inferno fist- introduces more complex combinations and explosive power.

The third form-Blazing Guard- emphasizes defense and counterattacks, using fiery bursts to deflect and retaliate.

The fourth form-Rising Sun- integrates acrobatic movements, enhancing agility and unpredictability.

The fifth form-Firestorm Fist- involves channeling fire energy into concentrated blasts, increasing destructive potential.

The final form, the sixth-Dragon's Roar, is the most advanced, requiring precise control over fire energy to unleash devastating attacks and create fiery illusions to confuse and overwhelm opponents.

Master Renald explained everything there was to know about this martial art to Oasis, ensuring he understood each form and its intricacies.

Even though Oasis had already read up to the fourth form, it was a great experience when Master Renald explained, and he gained more understanding from it.

After Master Renald's explanations, they started practicing together in unison, from the first to the third form.

Oasis grasped everything quickly, and it was a fascinating sight.

"This child is totally different. He is really a monster, as Leonardo said," Master Renald thought as he saw Oasis's improvement.

"It hasn't been a day, but he already understands, and his body is like it was made for this technique," he remarked.
