Chapter 274: Techniques
Ruanfu had both wings and a long flexible body. She could learn both sets of techniques that King and Sage devised. The ideal goal was for them to come up with something that all three could use as beasts and also in their human forms. They didnt want to spend their time training and perfecting a move that only had limited usage. Sage wanted to have something he could still use even if he were to undergo metamorphosis again, and King wanted something to pass down to his descendants. Given his now prolific breeding habits, he needed something easily adaptable, and Ruanfu was the main test.
He brought out many skills from the Timeless Masters library, taking turns to let King browse through it as well. Their goal was to use the skills as inspiration. They studied the methods in which each technique gathered Qi, circulated it, and then how it was used. Different body motions combined with the specific combinations of Qi Pores the energy was released from and the direction of the energy as it left the body. There were so many different variables involved in the usage of a combat technique. They mostly focused on unarmed techniques, but then they branched out into the weapon techniques. Most of them involved infusing energy into a specific shape of weapon, but some methods could even be used without a weapon. In those cases it was still useful to study how they operated. Other weapon techniques were also looked at when the weapon was similar to their bodily features. King particularly liked browsing the Saber techniques. He said they gave him insight towards using his wings as blades.
Sage, on the other hand, didnt search based on outward appearances or uses. Instead he read a little into every technique he could. He wasnt looking for the best way to use the external and physical forms, but the internal. No matter what technique he chose, if it was focused on utilizing the physical body, it would need to be adapted to whatever form the prospective user had. In essence, he wanted to find a physical technique that was more of a Qi technique.
Sage had claws in his true form, and he could use a Tiger fist style to use it as a human. It was actually quite impressive, if unwieldy. When he struck he condensed a little energy at his fingertips using Cosmic Traction and he could drive his fingers into a piece of stone. The downside being that he had to add a little shake of his arm at the last instant or hed get stuck. The thrust of his fingers dug perfect holes through space, so he had to slightly widen the holes before his force dissipated, or else it would be like someone had cast his fingers into a stone mold. He had to smash the rock apart with his other hand, or expend a large amount of Qi to weaken space enough to slowly drag his fingers back out. The technique was useful, but besides the terrifying penetration ability it was otherwise unwieldy.
Sage attempted to modify the techniques, and then teach them to Ruanfu. In order to teach someone else how to do something, it required a certain level of mastery. It also forced you to reflect upon the how and the why. Without sufficient understanding, it was impossible to transfer the knowledge to another. It also helped to push your thinking into other avenues. If an initial explanation was insufficient, you had to come up with new methods which in turn deepened your own understanding. Being taught by someone else also had similar benefits. Individual attention meant the freedom to ask as many questions as you needed and you could move at your own pace. The teacher could observe and provide help when you deviated from the correct path. Sage chose to have the three of them act as teacher and student to the others in order to accelerate their training as much as possible.
They only spent a few hours each night trading notes and instructing each other, but they had the rest of the day to contemplate. During the Ebb and Flow training, Sage performed the same exercises over and over again. It was a great time for him to ponder the development of their martial techniques. Many days, he also used the new technique as the method to expend all of his Qi, performing a technique over and over again to build his familiarity.
He only spent a few hours a day in the Universe Ring. Every morning one of his Falconers would send him a message, reporting on the affairs of the Jade Horde and the current events in the Dou Kingdom.
