Martial Research Master

244 “I HOPE YOU WILL PAY ME”

Li Meng was immersed within comprehension. The shadow figure was displaying the art continuously, and he could verify all his movements with accuracy. Slowly yet steadily, he began to repeat the art displayed. Another projection of his was created along with the shadow showcasing the arts.

Li Meng tried to have the projection copy of the skill displayed by the shadow. Initially, there was a huge disparity between their movements, but they began to slowly sync with each other. The projection got the first movements correct, followed by the perfect execution of all the movements mentioned within the first volume. The power projected out was quite surprising.

Just what kind of figure was this man to have created such an art? The power was comparable to the first movement of Dominator’s fist which Long Ta formulated.

“Although the destructiveness is lacking, it is still comparable to the first movement of dominator’s fist. This person should be a real talent to have developed such an art.”

“I told you that there isn’t any deficiency of monsters in this world. You should never limit your vision to those around you. There is always someone out there who could surpass you.”

“I should be able to surpass this person, now that I have gained multiple insights into his art. I have some grounds where I could improve the first two volumes of Dominator’s fist. I even managed to create a rough outlay for the next volume.”

“You are not the only one with such a lofty objective. Many martial artists try to combine all their knowledge about the arts of the past and combine them. The walk-on martial path is always aimed at the very peak. There must be someone else who has comprehended this art and tried to develop upon it.”

“My arts are not something which can be compared by anyone else. White Dragon emperors, the royal family, all the sects, and even this art make up just the base upon which I develop the art. I am sure about its absolute power.”

“I hope you can maintain this confidence when you face a true genius in the future.”

.....

Li Meng ignored the Keeper for the moment and re-immersed himself in the comprehension of the art. Once the projection was able to perfectly copy the first volume, a strange change took place. A set of arts got imprinted in his mind. Not just the first volume, but even the second to the seventh volume were imprinted within his mind as of now.

“This must be the reward for being able to comprehend the first volume.”

He never expected this stone to be an inheritance left by the peerless figure who created it. Just the comprehension of the first volume was enough to give him 7 consecutive volumes. What if he managed to comprehend the second one?

...................................

“What is resonance?” Earlier the old man referred this term to the sudden sparkle which emerged from the stone stele.

“To bring out an artist’s true potential, there are multiple requirements to be fulfilled by the cultivator practicing it. Not only do they need to have proper qualifications, but similar body types and law domains too. It is the reason that the same art behaves differently in the hands of different people.”

“Compatibility plays a big role in the expected output from the execution of a particular art. It is the reason that ancient inheritances can only be claimed by a fated person. It is not because of talent, but rather compatibility with the art to be passed on.”

“Resonance is a phenomenon which occurs only when someone extremely compatible with a particular art tries to comprehend it. An art as powerful as the Strikes of Thunderous Palms carries the will of its creator. When someone who is absolutely compatible with it appears, the creators will pass on the art to him/her, by a special method.”

“Is the master talking about the projection?”

“Yes. The will formulates into a projection of the figure who created the art. It then displays the art directly to the practitioner. If someone who doesn’t have perfect compatibility tries to achieve that state, it takes a lot of time and work.”

“Is master suggesting that someone compatible with the art has appeared?”

“Yes. The stone stele created by that man is quite remarkable. Its secrets are still a mystery to us. Some people say that he has left his inheritance within the stone itself. From what we have discovered, the inheritance could only be obtained by someone who is in the Qi general realm.”

“Another mystery is the amount of comprehension one can achieve while practicing this art. Thunder Child was the only one who was ever able to comprehend the first volume while being in the Qi general realm. Even then he said that it was not the complete inheritance.”

“Unknown to many people, this art is the life art of that figure. This was something he created and honed his whole life, pouring all his martial comprehension into. The major reason why this stone is considered as an inheritance, even after the art being scripted on a manual is because of the foundations it requires.”

“During a secret meeting called to discuss the secrets of this art, Thunder child revealed something. He said that this art requires practitioners to have proficiency in multiple types of domains. If someone is not able to connect with all the laws required for the execution of this art, they would be able to display it.”

“It is one of the reasons this art has become a major reference art for the academy students and teachers, rather than becoming a core attack art.”

“Thunder Child said that he only managed to connect with the first volume, and hence felt only the first set of laws required to practice this art. As per the second volume, it should contain the list of the rest of the laws. He managed to connect with the mentioned laws and some additional laws according to his comprehension. He is one of the people who is practicing the Strike of Thunderous palm as their core attack art.”

“He said that inheritance can truly be achieved only when someone can comprehend the two volumes while being in the Qi general realm.”

The two men were shocked again. The tremor earlier meant that someone must have obtained resonance with the first volume. Was another thunder child going to emerge from this group?

The old man was looking expectantly towards the group of youngsters below.

..............................................

“Someone actually obtained resonance with the stone stele.” The elder in charge spoke up.

“It must be the young miss of our clan. She is the only one who could comprehend the art within the given time.” The old elder from the Chu family spoke up while looking at the young man beside him.

The young man showed no expression of discomfort. He simply stared at the group sitting below. He tried to feel the aura and a smile emerged on his face. He then turned his head around. With a smiling face he said:

“I hope you will pay me.” The elder of the Chu family couldn’t help but be agitated from such a reaction.
