The shabby hut of old Ye is located from the gap between the lush green, it was isolated from other's hut of the right regional people. After arriving at the place, Long Tian noticed that the Old Man was not there probably he was again fishing like he usually did. Thus, Long Tian merely smiled as he put the bread in the tabletop as he walks to the courtyard.
He grips a 500 kg boulder and lay it in the middle of the courtyard. Long Tian stood meters away from the boulder and closed his eyes. Long Tian breathed, slowly posturing into the most basic 'Horst Stance' of martial arts. His right hand solidly plop in midair as his left hand was tightly resting from the side of his left chest.
This was the procedure according to what written of the 'Order of the Fire Fist' instruction. If one needs to practice the Destructive Fire Fist technique's first move, it needs to comprehend the momentum, the trajectory of how it would strike, only then one can step into the realm of small success.
In the martial arts technique, it was divided into five stages namely: Small Sucess, Large Success, Acne, Mastery, Perfection.
Long Tian was calm as a tranquil state. His surrounding was especially quiet besides the few chirping noises of the birds. Long Tian slowly punch the boulder, his punch was just around 100 jin of strength as his fist hit the boulder.
Long Tian jab many times as his fist becomes swelled in pain until his knuckles bleed blood. However, his punch didn't stop as he punches out like a raining arrow.
The Order of Fire Fist was a mid-grade yellow technique. Hence, Long Tian who had 4/10 comprehension was in a tight condition when it comes to comprehension. Thus, practicing the first move was pretty hard for him. At least, base on his speed, it will take days or weeks he didn't know. But, Long Tian was a person that had an affinity of fire but clueless whether his Fire Affinity could help him comprehend fire type offensive technique.
Just like this, two hours had passed, Long Tian was still punching the boulder with either of his two fists as the boulder cracks from several areas of its surface, and blood imprinted on it. And Long Tian who's crazily punching with his eyes closed as if he was feeling the trajectory and the way how the first move would work had his hand covered with blood.
However, seriously looking at his knuckles, it waa clearly healing at an incredible rate as if the blood was never in that place. However, if it was witnessed by people they wouldn't be shocked when they saw this since the body refinement stage was the crucial transformation of one's body.
The first three stages of body tempering were mainly enhancing the martial artist senses and regeneration effect, although it was slow regen effect; The next three stages after that was altering the muscle, refining the bones and transforming the bones; Lastly, the last three stages was the most important part, for it would make one's body transform and undergo impurities cleansing, controlling the Qi, and Qi release. Then after a martial artist reaches the peak of body refinement only then he finally steps at the starting point of martial cultivation and able to use Internal Qi and strike others even from afar.
Long Tian with his eyes close abruptly opened his eyes, and his right hand that was about to hit the boulder suddenly blaze in a fire as his 100 jin suddenly increased into explosive power and with a 'Peng' the boulder exploded as it turns into pebbles that shoot from different directions.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"Finally! Small Success!" Long Tian collapsed in the ground as he smiled. He was really exhausted from the long practice. He was never thought that someday he would be this hardworking to the point he didn't stop even blood seep from his knuckles.
Long Tian breath heavily as he stared at hot sun, he laughs and opened the status window.
[Host' Status]
Name: Long Tian
Nickname: Xiao Che
Cultivation Base: Body Refinement First Stage: 6 /1000 EXP: For the next level
Talent: E-
Age: 15
Faction: None
Innate Attributes: Luck: 2/10; Spirit; 4/10; Comprehension; 3/10
Elemental Affinity: Fire Element 0.9%/100%
Skills: Destructive Fire Fist; First Move; Order of Fire Fist; Small Success.
Long Tian smiled but when he saw the changes of his Element Affinity he asked. "System what's this 0.9% changes in my Fire Affinity?"
"*Ding*... The '0.9%' in the Host' Fire Element Affinity is the percentage of how high the Host' control over Firebase techniques."
Long Tian nodded, thinking for a bit, he again asked. "Do you mean that as long as I can maximize my Fire Affinity I would have great control over the fire? Even if I would jump into the lava I would have immunity on it or get attacked by an enemy's fire?"
The system again resounded on his head: "*Ding*... The Host is both right and wrong on that. First, the host is right into the fact of jumping into lava, for the host had immunity to fire elements. But if the lava exceeds Host Fire Elements Host would feel burned and pain. Second, on the enemy's power, the Host is both right and wrong. The Host is right when it comes to the immunity on fire elements, but also wrong at the enemy's fire element because if his firepower is much stronger than the host or three stages higher than the host, the Host would not be immune to that. For example, if Host would confront a Body Refinement Fourth Stage that used a fire type martial skill and Host is at Body Refinement First Stage, Host would be immune to his fire attacks since his cultivation base didn't exceed three stages of the Host. Of course, if the Host ranks up into the next stages, the host will still have three-stage immunity to fire elements."
Long Tian's eyes brightened. So if he was currently at Body Refinement First Stage and his enemy is at the Fourth Stage then uses a fire skill he would be immune to them, but if he's still at the first stage and he would confront someone at the fifth stage and uses a fire skill, his immunity would be useless towards them. So, overall, his Fire affinity bestowed him immunity towards a martial cultivator three-stage higher than him.
After understanding, Long Tian nodded his head as he finally understood, as again he was confused. If he had Fire Affinity then are there people also the same with him? Then basically it was useless, right?
Hence, having this in mind, Long Tian asked. "System, if I have an affinity to Fire isn't that the same with others? Then my three-stage immunity is just basically useless."
"*Ding*..... The host is an Idiot!"
Long Tian was stunned by the reply as he asked. "What do you mean?"
"*Ding*... It's because Host' Element Affinity is only functional solely to you and it's bestowed by the system. Hence, the functions of three-stage immunity are only accessible solely to the Host. But, others who also had an affinity to an element wouldn't have no immunity or advantage to their affinities."
"..."
Long Tian was speechless as he knocked his head for being dumb. That's right a system is a system, it defies the heavens so why he didn't think of this? Long Tian laughed as he thought of how dumb he is.
After laughing for a while, Long Tian looks at the mess that he caused on the courtyard as cold sweats emerged from his back. He hastily cleaned the area and pick up the little pebble pieces by pieces and throw it afar.
"Phew! If I was a step late that old man would be suspicious of me, haha." He laughed, "Mhm, I should go hunt some ordinary beast at the forbidden death forest first to increase my cultivation and take a trip in the Beast Mountain Range if I had the chance escaping the surveillance of Overlord Divine Kingdom."
