Choosing Technique And Training!

"Alright, I will do it!" Liam is determined to win, the advantage outweighs the disadvantage!

"Alright, let's go. Its time you choose some techniques and start training, we have only a month and 20 days to turn you into a great cultivator" Maya enthusiastically clasp her hand and stood quickly, too quickly that the mountains of temptation Jiggles which prompted Liam to look away with a flushed face.

"For now, you will have to choose at least two techniques and at most four techniques" Maya said as she opened the door for Liam.

"Alright" Liam gave a short answer and enter the black rose technique depository hall.

Liam didn't waste time and quickly found the techniques that piques his interest and brought it with him, he pick exactly four techniques!

"Oh junior brother is already out?" Maya is surprised when she saw Liam coming out, it seems he is not the greedy type, or so she thought.

"Yes senior sister, I have already pick the cultivation techniques that I need" Liam smiled and show the books in his hand.

"Oh, let me see" Maya inspected the books.

"A Toxic blossom barrage, an envenomed thorn, pollen sleep and lastly venomous vines. Not bad, junior brother got good eyes" Maya praised before heading towards the training ground while beckoning him to follow her.

'Seems the training is starting right now' Liam thought and he had no objection.

"When learning a technique, you must know how it works and what it is its purpose.

Continuous practice of a particular technique can not only increase mastery but can reduce the energy consumption as well"

"Let's start with the toxic blossom barrage technique, for this you need to form the image of a blossoming flower in your mind" Maya instructed.

"Mind again?" Liam asked, he prefer physical pain than the pain that will assault his mind!

"Hahaha, everything about cultivation requires the help of the mind because that is where the sea of consciousness is, when you are able to enter your sea of consciousness in the future, you can even see your soul and how vast is your energy" Maya laugh at his reaction, of course he has to endure the pain and constantly train his mind!

"it is but a five node technique and less profound than the Black Rose cultivation manual, since you are able to fill the ninth node, then this will be easy for you"

"For now, you have to use your energy to form a blossoming flowing of four petals, slowly use your energy to let the it blossom and manifest it through your palm, then use it to attack that dummy" Maya pointed at a wooden dummy a little far away from Liam after instructing him.

"Alright" Liam is confident as he closed his eyes and start the visualization process.

Slowly a flower with its petals closed appeared in his mind, Liam filled the first node which is at the middle just like it was shown in the diagram.

The first node is filled with energy and Liam is not even feeling any discomfort but he didn't let his emotions fluctuate, he keep his mind calm and muttered to himself, "Calm and stead wins the race"

Slowly he let his energy fill the second node, he only felt a slight discomfort and his confidence increased, he injected more energy into it and quickly reach the third node, a smile appeared on his face, he hastily push his energy towards the fourth node!

"Argh!" A sharp pain assaulted his mind which makes him shout in pain.

"Take it easy, it's your first time and we have time so don't rush" Liam heard Maya's voice, he wholeheartedly took her advice but the technique diagram has already collapsed and disappeared from his mind!

'This is what I hate about this mind stuff'

Liam slowly inhale and exhale to calm his mind, he made another attempt and steadily fill the nodes till he reach the fourth node, he steel his resole and injected his energy into it!

The pain he is expecting never arrives, he heave a sigh of relieve and continued towards the last node!

When the fifth node is filled with energy, all the petals lit up at the same time and Liam will it to appear in his palm!

"Now open your eyes while maintaining the technique" Hearing Maya's voice, he slowly guided the flower towards his palm!

Liam's eyes are calm as his gaze landed on the wooden dummy, he slowly exhale and pull his palm, and the flower is on his palm, gently rotating!

"Hah!" With small shout Liam throw the flower towards the wooden dummy!

Boom!

"I did it!" Liam is excited as he look at the slightly caved in part of the wooden dummy, a small purple energy spread slightly before stopping.

"Yes, you did it but the Toxic blossom barrage has two methods of attack, the one you used now has strong piercing power and a small scale of destruction.

The second method is while the flower is flying towards its target, you should make the petals unfold! Like this!"

A powerful energy surge as a much larger and mesmerizing flower appeared on Maya's hand, she shot it towards the wooden dummy, Liam watched as the petals unfold midflight!

BOOM!

It destroyed a large part of the wooden dummy and a sizzling sound is heard as her stronger and more potent poison spreads almost covering the whole dummy!

"How… terrifying…" Only two words escaped his lips as he stood with his mouth agape!

The power of the technique is too much!

"I will show you the first method, so that you will compare The two of them and know which one to use and when to use it" Maya proudly said as her energy circulated once more, Liam is scared out of his wits as he imagined getting hit by that attack!

A drop of sweat trickle down his forehead!
