Chapter 275: Cosmic Traction
Cosmic Traction. The signature ability of the Breach Hawk. It was something like having an extra set of Qi Pores, and when Sage fed his Qi into them, the world around him seemed to thicken. Sort of like the humidity was rapidly rising until he felt like the whole world was covered in water. It felt like walking in a pool of water. If he threw a punch he felt great resistance and not much happened, but if he used a palm strike it was like he was splashing water. Space would ripple and crash against objects in front of him.
More amazingly was that such actions didnt actually cause much damage. It reminded him of looking at the reflection of something in a pool of water. If the water was disturbed the image would be distorted, but after some time it would return to stillness. He also thought of it like a painting. You could roll it up, fold it, and crumple it into a ball, but once you smoothed it back out the image in the painting would still be intact. At least mostly. Just like you could harm the paint by violently crumbling or handling the canvas, you could also do the same by altering space.
Just like with Kings wing blade technique, the damage wasnt actually caused by space. What did the harm was actually a gust of wind. He used a very precise amount of Qi to treat space in a similar manner to a fog. The more Qi was used the more solid space felt, and the more could be done to it. As a bird, most of Kings techniques manipulated space as if it were air, it just came naturally to them. He used his wings to do the real work. The blue, leading edge, pushed against space to create a ripple. Then he twisted his wing and used the feathers to create a narrow gust of wind like a blade.
The wind blade on its own was not very powerful, creating mere papercuts. On the other hand, following in the wake of the ripple of space it could ignore the physical world. With a perfect delivery the wind blade could be inside the targets body and slicing directly against the soft inner organs right as space returned to normal. That said, it was extremely difficult to make the two attacks move at the exact same speed with the ideal interval between them. If they were too close together, the wind blade would do nothing, passing harmlessly through the rippling space. If it was too far apart, space would calm down before it struck and it would only have its original paper cutting power.
Thankfully, he found that the more he used the ability the better it became. That meant it could also be trained and so he incorporated it into his training routine. Straining to push as much Qi as possible into the ability as rapidly as possible. He used it as his daily technique training, expending all of his Qi each day with Cosmic Traction before he sealed his normal Qi Pores. He also told King and Ruanfu about the training technique to see if it might also work for them. King was far too lazy for such an extreme method, but Ruanfu was eager to try it out. She didnt quite follow it as harshly as Sage did, but she still made rapid progress.
What was most amazing was actually the usage of Cosmic Traction in his true form. The slithering of a snake was nearly as effective in the water as it was on land. The unique motion giving them great propulsion by using nearly the full surface area of their body to get traction. In this regard it was a true confirmation that the Breach Hawk was descendant of some form of Dragon. It was almost possible for him to truly swim through the air with his serpentine body. Unfortunately, he had to output Qi to the maximum with his ability along the length of his whole body. He could swim through the sky, but for less than a minute before he was completely drained of energy. The first time he tried it, King had to rescue him. He fell too suddenly and even King couldnt slow him down enough before he sustained a few broken bones.
The experimentation and training led him to an idea.
It was for this reason that he had King and Ruanfu standing beside him outside the waterfall cave. Normally they stayed in the Universe Ring, but today he wanted to have some backup in case something went wrong.
In front of him, the lump of clay was tied to the top of a single post at chest height. He wanted to minimize the number of obstructions, but he also wanted to hold the clay still so he couldnt just hang it from a tree branch. He looked over his shoulder to King and Ruanfu a few dozen yards away, Are you ready?
