"Now that I know that you are lethal up close, you're not going to have the chance to come close again." Abe opened his steps, ready to send Ocean Palm Strike.
Raiden, seeing that his attack window is closed, tries to close the distance between him and Abe.
Abe, seeing that Raiden tries to come closer, sends barrages of 2 meters of water palm.
Seeing the countless water palms come at him, Raiden gritted his teeth, ready to take the hit. The first water palm hit his right leg, making him kneel with his right leg, and another one hit him on his left shoulder making him tumble backward.
"Uhh!" Raiden grunted while laying on the floor. 'Need to close the distance and stop that showering palm strikes'
A voice rang in his ear ' Don't take shape, assume formlessness, be adaptable and move, be fast and agile like the wind'
Chaos energy started to move around the dojo, and it started to envelop Raiden. The chaos energy, like dust, started revolving around Raiden's arms and legs.
Raiden, like a gust of wind, started to rush toward Abe, dodging all the water strikes. The raining ocean palm strike couldn't seem to find its target.
After closing his distance with Abe, he struck a straight right punch toward Abe's stomach, around his arm, and the wind kept on revolving seemly like an air drill.
Abe became happy inside when he saw Raiden's new transformation, but he was also terrified of his talent. 'Not the time to be impressed'
Before the air drill could touch Abe's karate gi, he released another technique.
Raging Surge
Abe stomps his feet on the wooden floor and a water jet shoots toward Raiden.
Raiden, who is unaware of the new move, got hit by the water jet and got knocked backwards.
He quickly recovered by moving all the revolving wind in front of him to block the water jet.
'This can't go on any longer controlling the wind really puts a strain on my stamina' He slowly starts to move the wind towards his foot to make him move agile. He let go of the wind shield and started to move along the water surge toward Abe.
When he got a clear path toward Abe, he condensed wind into his hands and shaped them like claws, with each finger having a rotated wind drill.
"Arghh!" After getting close to Abe, Raiden strikes nonstop at him.
Abe responded by stomping his feet on the floor and erecting a water wall between him and Raiden.
Adamant Waterfall
Raiden started to rain down a barrage of claws on the waterfall, but it was useless. The waterfall does not stop flowing.
"I show you what you are lacking…" Abe said the chaos energy in the dojo changed drastically, the speck of dust that was floating in the air started to move toward Abe Dantian like a river "It's an experience!".
Ocean Wave Technique: Leviathan Rush
A giant roar rang in the dojo like a legendary mythical creature's cry. Abe brought his fist forward and struck through the waterfall.
"Roarrrrr!" The water condenses into a giant, 10 meters long creature made up of water that rushes toward Raiden.
Raiden put his hands together and opened his hand claws toward the water creature. When the water creature smashes into him, he feels like being crushed by a bus, the wind claws keep rotating and rip apart the water that came crushing toward him.
"You see, this is the difference between you and me. Today what you did is you find a way to manipulate the chaos energy around you and manifest it to your desired shape, it is impressive. But, all your move is wasteful. We are not like the monsters, they have a lot more stamina than us humans, and besides that, they can use the chaos energy better than humans can." Abe said looking at the boy who is half kneeling in front of him and continuing " that is why we human come up with a new system of cultivation for circulating chaos energy in our body. Take me as an example, I use Ocean Wave Palm Technique from the Ryukyu Clan as my foundation and learn Leviathan Rush as my additional attacking skills. The Ocean Wave Palm is a technique I use to circulate the chaos energy throughout my body, depending on the technique the way you circulate the chaos energy is differ the same with the effect it brings to you. For me, it strengthens my affinity with water, a higher healing factor and we can turn part of our body to water." Abe said while turning his hand to a water tentacle. "Depending on your mastery and cultivation levels, the effect differs."
Abe walks toward Raiden and sits in front of him "Congratulation! On stepping into the bronze level, you really are talented, just like your father" He taps on the floor indicating him to sit.
"It's not talent, it's hard work" Raiden sit in front of Abe.
"Since I don't practice the Formless Technique, I don't have any pointers to give you. It will be hard to advance from here on, while it still early it is still not too late to change your foundation technique" Abe looks at Raiden seriously.
"I, as the only heir of Tamotsu Dojo, will lead the dojo and bring glory to this technique." Raiden takes a deep breath and answers calmly."It is my duty!"
Abe sighs, "Well, when you said it like that, I couldn't really argue with you." Abe stands and walks towards his bag, he opens it and takes out a book from his bag and tosses it to Raiden "Here! I got it when I kill the monster in the outbreak. You see when you kill monsters you can get various kinds of items like weapons, skill books, materials and many more. "
"What this?" Raiden holds the book, the book is black, and on the book cover, you can see "Demonic Armament" written on it.
"It is an additional skill book," Abe answered, continuing, "It is a skill that has a high attribute with demonic elements. Since you practice the Formless Technique, I figure you might have a high affinity for all elements. Besides, the dojo does not have any other skill other than the Formless Technique."
