Ben started to listen to the explanation of the technique. " Impact Pulse is an offensive technique that emits aura as a blast which creates an impact on the opponent. It is a neutral aura technique and other than the impact there are no special effects.
The first level of the technique sends a blast of aura to the opponent. The second level of the technique will create a circular aura which has a drilling effect. The third level of the technique has both circular and vibrational effect, which is often used to bypass the defenses. It also injures both the outside and inside. It can be used by adding the aura affinity to it.
For example, some one who has a fire type aura can give the attack a burning effect. If someone has a wind type aura, they can give it wind's characteristic and so on. Although the last level of this involves penetrated meridians, special training is not required for achieving them as that will be achieved automatically through training. This technique can also be used at higher realms by adapting it to various types of powers of the concerned realm."
After reading about the technique, Ben went to the training chamber. The first part of the training was to cover the area from wrist to palm with aura. This was easy for Ben because he was already using claws. When the apparatus scanned Ben's hands, the meridian circuit in his hand was prefect.
The aura had to be circulated to the primary meridian on the hand and then to the secondary meridians. Then the aura will cover the hand internally and externally. This phase was already completed by Ben.
The next part of the training was to punch large and heavy punching bags till they were destroyed. This bag has the capability to suck in a bit of aura from the person. This is rather an abrupt process and thus the person concerned will know that the aura is being absorbed and he or she will also get the feel of aura going out of the body. After this, with this feeling as reference, they will try to release the aura outside of their body.
This was the training regimen for the initial part of the technique. Of this, Ben had already completed the part where he passed aura through the hands.
So Ben started with the second part of the technique. He circulated the aura through his hands and concentrated on his wrist and palms. The punching bag connected to an apparatus was there. It was used to absorb the aura and then redirect it back to the user. Although, there will be some lose.
Ben started to punch. At first slowly and then started to increase the pace. He could feel his aura being sucked out. Although it was only a small amount the way in which it was being sucked out gave him a slight feeling of releasing aura. Although he knew how to release the power of the Shamanic script, it was not exactly the complete release of aura from the body but just extending it really far. The punches increased in speed and power. So more and more aura was absorbed. After a short wile Ben stopped.
He rested for bit, cultivating his lost aura back to it s peak. Then he continued. He punch deepened his understanding of how to release the aura. After the second session of striking, Ben decided to try to release the aura. He rested for a bit. And then walked towards a dummy place for practice. He stood about 10 m away from the dummy and tried to eject the aura. At first it was only the aura in his hand and tiny wisps of it which traveled barely 2 meters. Its was pathetic. Ben did not Stop. He tried again and again. Since it did not work, he went to punching again. Though he got the feel, the emitting part was not working.
This continued for another 10 hours straight. After that Ben thought it was time for him to take a break. He went out to his room outside and meditated for a while.
'Man, that was hard. To think that I would have so much trouble to releasing aura from my body. The rush n' ram doe does not count, I guess. But it is just sensing an aura pulse outside the body. Why is it so hard? The next thing is my earnings. My entire savings have come down to barely 1 million. I don't even have backup if I take too much time to train in these techniques. Well I have taken care of my offense and defense. This is alright for the time being. Ahn… then there is the matter of under water techniques.'
Thinking about under water techniques he was reminded of Rebecca. ' I wonder what she is up to. After training these techniques should I call her? I don't know. It really doesn't feel right. Or may be I am shy.' He let out an exasperated sigh.
'Tomorrow no matter what, I will master the emitting of aura at any cost. I have do that at any cost.'
With these thoughts Ben went to sleep. He needed to get up early. And he wanted to train in the technique to a satisfactory level.
The next day Ben went to the training facility early in the morning. He did some warm ups and some running around and started to train. He did punches a lot of times. He immersed himself in the feeling of the aura getting ripped off from him.
Then he stopped the punching part. He adjusted his mind. He used the 'Jamadagni Bhavana' bringing his concentration to its peak. He remembered the feeling of the aura getting ripped off from his hand on the punching machine. He visualized it in his mind. Then he tried to emit the aura. Still It did not work. He tried a few more times to no avail.
Frustrated he shouted "Aaaah!!!!" and threw a punch. Aura in the form of a fist flew from his hand and struck the target. It quivered under the impact. Ben's eyes widened as he looked at his hands from which the aura emitted. Then something came to mind. He activated both 'Jamadagni Bhavana' and 'Vasishta Vachanam'. Soon his aura had a light red tinge. He entered a state of both rage and calmness co-existing with each other. It was a unique state of concentration, a state of contradiction that was extremely difficult to achieve. But not to the seven sages and their inheritor. Ben achieved it in matter od minutes. His eyes blazed with determination. Some unsavory memories came to his mind. Somethings which had been gnawing at him. To others it might seem silly. To some it might seem petty, but to a teenage boy, seeing his parents disrespected was some thing that could not be forgiven. He unleashed his fury. Aura in the form of fist flew one after another hitting the target and extreme velocities. It was almost at the level of noble class. Ben's face was calm. His movements were precise and stable. Something which battle hardened veterans would find scary!!!
