Chapter 27 - Dominion Technique’s combat and movement

Now the only thing left was to check the items that he got and to learn the new combat and movement techniques finally. Kyle wouldn't be able to face a truly powerful enemy without them.

Straight away, Kyle willed with his consciousness and appeared inside the white space inside the pearl. The Dominion Technique book was still floating in the air, inviting Kyle to browse through it. Before Kyle was only able to open the first 2 pages of the book, he subconsciously remembered Seng Lin's recording and how he said that the Dominion Technique had 19 layers. This manual was damaged and only included the first 10 layers, but as this technique would be envied even by the gods, it was more than enough.

Every layer built upon the one before it and it taught first the cultivation technique, followed by the combat technique and the last movement technique.

Right now, Kyle was on the first layer, and he has only got the cultivation technique.

Kyle came up to the book, 'Finally, I will be able to see the real powers of the Dominion Technique,' he was excited to learn how lucky he got.

Kyle stepped into the horse stance, closed his eyes, and started circulating all of his qi. As Kyle still didn't have a real way to use his qi, he had to resort to what he managed to figure out by himself. The increase was only around 20% of his body powers. As Kyle opened his eyes he with a roar started pulling the book open, he very easily opened the next page and while he still had power started to try to open the next page, but it wouldn't budge no matter how hard he tried.

'I think this is a safeguard to make sure that I utilise the technique to open the book so that I don't rush things too much…' Kyle was still happy that he was able to get his hands on the battle technique for now.

The page had a title.

[Wave of Conviction]

There also was a sign that was next to the name. It was a palm facing him with a thumb holding a round object that was shaped like a coin. This hand, even on-page had sparks coming off it signalling the amount of power that it represented. The most impressive thing that it was not printed in ink, but Kyle could feel, it was pure qi embedded into the book.

As Kyle touched the hand, the world changed again.

The same figure appeared, Seng Lin was standing in the forest and suddenly an arrow at unbelievable speed with fire on the tip rushed through the forest straight at Seng Lin's head. He was being attacked. Seng Lin, without even looking in that direction, caught the arrow in his hand. He looked in the direction where the arrow came from and closed his eyes. Azure energy started appearing in his hand. He then threw the palm just like in the book, and the azure energy started changing and becoming yellow and white colour and started rolling out and insane speed.

This casual palm strike caused ripples and everything where the energy went to evaporate. After the dust settled, he saw Seng Lin was still standing there holding the arrow in his hand. At the same time, the place where he threw the palm strike had no longer any trees or forest for that matter, it was a krater in size of at least 10 kilometres with everything evaporated.

As Kyle opened his eyes, he was stupefied but that power. Seng Lin clearly used around 1% or even less of his power, and he was able to evaporate the whole forest… How strong was he at his full strength?

Kyle was incredibly excited to learn this amazing technique. Kyle stood up and started practising. He first had to drive the azure qi to his palm, in the special points, so that he could feel his hand to tingle, once he has done that he had to strike out with the same palm and at the exact moment of the strike release the qi and detach it from his hand. With the azure qi without a link to the dantian, it would go wild and would turn into a chaotic mess that would usually disappear. Still, because of the pattern created on the palm, it would be controlled and annihilate everything.

Kyle right now didn't have enough practice to make sure that he can put his azure qi into the starting 5 spots on the palm, considering that the last level of Wave of Conviction asked him to put qi into a million tiny spots on to his palm he could imagine how long Kyle's path now was.

After around 10 hours of constant meditation and practice, Kyle was barely able to do a palm strike. The Wave of Conviction for him only travelled for around 2 metres and in a tiny straight line. Kyle still was ecstatic. 'Let's try this in the real world!' Kyle came up to the tree and used the Wave of Conviction. To his surprise, the tree got pierced straight through as if knife slicing through butter. The tree started cracking and nearly fell onto Kyle. "Wow!" He exclaimed. This was real power. He could use it to fight many enemies easily. Also, after reading the book, Kyle understood that the Wave of Conviction could even be used through the weapon and would cause different effect based on the shape and material of the weapon. Right now was not the time to experiment with it, so he put it to the back of his mind for now.

Now, Kyle could finally try opening the next page. With the same horse stance, Kyle striked with the Wave of Conviction at the book. Kyle was a little bit scared for the book if he could damage it just like the tree, but considering that Kyle didn't even have a chance to open the pages, he wouldn't be able to damage the book in any way.

As the white and yellow line touched the book, it started absorbing and glowing with energy. After a while, it hussed and flipped to the next page. There was a Lightning that was drawn. It was zipping through the sky, as Kyle touched the page, an unbelievable amount of knowledge started to appear in his mind.

As the Dominion Technique chose to be the best in everything, the movement technique was, of course, the fastest and the most profound out of any manual. The lighting was chaotic, to begin with, and no-one knew what direction it would go after it appeared in the sky. The only thing left after the lighting would be the after image that confused the onlookers more than seeing the actual path.

There was nothing faster than lighting, no matter how many technologies or powers one had. Lighting would catch up and strike them.

The most domineering of all lightings was the tribulation lightning. One that would appear before achieving immortality. The last step to the godhood, summoned all of the powers of the world to ascend. The technique was based on experiencing and observing tribulation lighting a trillion times. It allowed moving faster than anything, pierce through anything and to evade anything.

The technique was called [Lighting Step] the name was simple, but behind it was a great power.

With this description, Kyle gasped for air. That was simply unbelievable. If he could move like that, wouldn't he be able to travel through the whole continent in a matter of days? Considering the size of the world. It was unbelievable.

With great power, comes great requirements to practice such a technique. To even start practising, Kyle needed to get an affinity with the lighting element, and it has said that getting a lighting soul into his body would guarantee even greater and faster progress with the Lighting Step. The book suggested looking for strong beasts and slaughtering them and absorbing using qi their beats cores. The stronger the beast, the better their understanding of the elements would be, even including the lighting element.

Kyle knew that he had the 2 beast cores, but he didn't know what elements affinity they had if the lighting was not present in that beast cores he would have to think of something else.

The worst part is that for Kyle to access the next pages, he needed to demonstrate a Lighting Step in front of the book as well as to achieve Foundation Establishment stage. For that, he needed to fully master the first layer of Dominion Technique cultivation method. 'I am not even sure how long will it take for me to look for this lighting affinity and lighting soul; this means that I can't progress further? This is painful.' Kyle thought about it and then reconsidered, 'I can not be too greedy, I was already so lucky, I just will have to research for one. Maybe the lucky charm trait will prove useful once again!'
