Returning to the Asura realm Xiao long began to practice the new martial art skills.
The First skill the Star chasing technique changed to Fleeting moment technique,as for its grade he didn't know, nah it's just he didn't care.
The Star chasing technique used the concept of a cultivator changing position randomly.It was a good technique in battle due to its ability to cause chaos in a group battle,but it could also doom the user if he meet a cultivator who can change his environment.
Luckily for Xiao long the Fleeting moment technique didn't have any flaws except it was hard to comprehend.
It embodied the slow flow of time in the cultivator but to the user it embodied he concept of speed .To one person the other is moving slowly but to the other they are moving at a terrific speed.If practice to perfection one may be able to comprehend the minor concept of slow and fast ( yin and yang).
Although Xiao long was blessed with a high compression ability it took him two full days to get a gist of how to circulate energy through his body.
It also required him to open his leg acupoints.It was his first time seeing that word.
They were three acupoints the Weizhong,the chengshang and the yanglingquan.They acted as energy reserves granting the cultivator a bust of energy if the body ran dry.
In battle he could use the stored energy to power up his movement technique and his bodily energy it battle technique.
Xiao long began practicing in a few hours his traces could be found all around the second layer.He moved like a ghost one second he is here the next he is somewhere a few miles away .
He enjoyed the feeling of the wind brushing against his face.A few times he couldn't maneuver his body in high speed leading him to ram against trees and rocks .By the time he was able to say he has entered the initial stage of comprehension his clothes were in tatters.
Technique comprehension is divided into Novice mastery , Initial mastery, Advanced mastery ,Expert mastery and Complete mastery.
Novice stage is learning how activate the technique, Initial stage is practicing the technique, mostly clumsily.Advanced stage one becomes proficient in using the skill almost instinctual.Expert stage the cultivator handles the technique with higher proficiency even increasing is power. Complete mastery a cultivator has a compete and profound mastery of the technique.
Having reached the initial mastery Xiao long changed into comprehend the Elephant flipping technique which changed to Earth flipping technique.This technique required a rudimental understanding of earth element which Xiao long didn't have making it impossible to practice.The only way for him to learn it was by having an object with small amount of earth essence.
Luckily he could exchange merit points for an object of this kind in the hall.
Hunting a few thousand asuras he returned to the hall of exchange and bought earth essence pills .
Sitting down on a tree he swallowed the all the pills .As they melted down they released a small amount of energy which flowed into his brain showing him a vision of the birth of a small snake ,it was born of nature the first breath it took it swallowed an brown coloured energy making the mountain nearby to collapse .It gained the ability to travel underground and the more energy it absorbed the bigger and stronger it grew this went on until it began growing a horns on it head one fateful day as it shed it skin a thunderous storm brewed in the sky a lighting bolts rained on it untill it transformed into a clawed serpent ( flood dragon).Then the vision ended.
The state Xiao long had been when he saw the vision was known as state of enlightenment.
It was a rare a opportunity especially for young cultivator as it offered a smoother journey when comprehending.
What he just witness was the birth of an elemental flood dragon which if lucky might transform into an Earth dragon.
He did comprehend a small concept of earth essence,how to draw in earth Qi . Although he couldn't control Qi energy now when he breakthrough to the Qi refining realm he will be able to draw in earth Qi .
Xiao long now had been exposed to five types of Qi's the killing Qi , earth Qi,blood Qi ,Fire Qi and metal Qi from meridian opening.
If he was lucky enough to find the water Qi and the wood Qi he may he able to form the primordial Purple Qi when opening the dantian and that might become his greatest weapon in cultivation.But the poor brat didn't know of that ,he was just happy he could control a stone with a few seals he learned in the Flipping technique.
Practicing for a few days he was able to throw a stone and split a tree into halfs.
Missing a cooked meal he returned to he battle tower and hunted a few boars and roasted them .
Since opening his stomach meridian his appetite had increased he could eat a whole boars and still be hungry .
The reason being the boars didn't have more energy.His stomach worked like an energy converter.Transforming the meet into energy.
So it took a few boars to satisfy his hunger.Full of energy Xiao long began practicing his fist technique the Sky splitting technique.The devil cultivators became his sparing partners ,now that he had a movement technique he feared nothing he even and fought some crocodile where he was whipped senseless. Aggrieved he killed a few weaker crocodiles in the area angering the Crocodile into chasing him this time he toyed with it before finally hiding so he thought in the middle of the night he was woken up by a resounding smack ,looking up his gaze locked with that of his attacker ." Shit ! " He cursed .That damn crocodile trailed him to his hiding area.
Crushing the token he appeared inside the hall as he hacked blood mixed with pieces of shredded organs .
" I guess I went to far " he thought.If he hadn't aggravated the crocodile it sure wouldn't have followed him .He thought nothing could harm him with his movement technique but he was in for a rude awakening.
