I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 52: Internal Fist

His offensive was the only one which would take up less space, as both his defensive and movement art would need full utilization of the training room.

Approaching a screen in the corner, he clicked on the checkbox which asked if you wanted a training dummy.

A section of the wall opened up, from which a training dummy held by mechanical tongs was deposited into the empty space of the room.

He toggled a few options on the screen regarding the characteristics of the dummy.

Simultaneously, he could see a few spots on the dummy light up when he controlled certain options.

Eryndor knew they were very likely array formations. He finally had a chance to brush up on basic knowledge regarding it when he visited the library.

Between searching for cultivation arts, he had gobbled up a few pieces of basic information regarding the power systems.

Turns out there were indeed other fields of mastery in each power system. All Eight Outer Domains had named the three fields differently but in essence they were basically; Array Formation, Alchemy, and Smithing.

Each of them were such that if one had a sufficient level of mastery in it, the person could go above their levels.

A person at realm one could go make a realm two array formation if they had sufficient mastery in this field. The same was the case with the other two fields.

Of course, the records mentioned it became more and more difficult as one’s realm increased.

Eryndor had looked through a few examples, but none of the images he looked through matched with the patterns on his Sovereign’s Cloak.

But since it was only a few examples, he didn’t jump to the conclusion of his Sovereign’s Cloak being completely different.

Back to the present, Eryndor was finally done with making adjustments to the training dummy.

Sitting in front of the dummy, Eryndor took out his personal device.

He opened the manual of Internal Fist and began reading it.

Sounds of a sword swinging through the air was heard, but it was low enough to be ignored. In his increasingly focused state of mind, the sound was soon completely ignored subconsciously by him.

It took him approximately fifteen minutes to read the entire manual.

He got a basic gist of how cultivation arts worked.

Just like how in the practice techniques of cultivation, one had to circulate their Qi through the big closed circuit of meridians of the body, one had to complete a smaller circuit in case of cultivation arts.

Oftentimes the circuit was located where the cultivation art mainly worked. If the cultivation art entailed the use of arms, majority of the times the closed circuit would be located in the meridians of the arms.

Eryndor closed his eyes, imagining the circuit of the Internal Fist.

Approximately five minutes later, he had successfully imagined the entire small circuit of Internal Fist located in his forearms.

He separated a strand of Qi and controlled it to circulate through the minor circuit of his cultivation art, readying his fist in front of the training dummy.

As opposed to the practice technique which had a huge circuit, the small circuit of cultivation art allowed the full circulation to be extremely quick.

As soon as his Qi completed the circulation, Eryndor felt his fist heat up slightly.

Instantly, he launched his fist into the training dummy’s face.

A bunch of numbers popped up on the screen above the training dummy, allowing Eryndor to quantify the progress of his cultivation art.

Twenty three points…hmmm.

In the manual of the Internal Fist, the maximum strength it could reach was ninety eighty points. It was achieved by the creator of the cultivation art himself when he was at stage nine of Qi Gathering realm.

Twenty points was the limit of stage one of Qi Gathering realm.

From then onwards, there was an increase of ten points in the limit of each consecutive stage, maxing out at hundred points for stage nine of Qi Gathering realm.

Going by the statistics, a maximum of ninety eight was impressive as it was close to the limit of stage nine of Qi Gathering realm.

Of course, one could transcend the limits of the stages if their control over the arts reached a phenomenal level.

Eryndor keenly felt that the strand of Qi he had used to circulate the Internal Fist had been used up.

Success on the first try? Genius or a show off?

The young lady who was practicing her sword in the corner of the room thought to herself.

It wasn’t that she wanted to belittle others, but that getting a hang of using Qi to move through the circuit required time and care.

If the Qi went to an incorrect meridian, it would result in a backlash.

She soon stopped paying attention to it.

Repeating the process, this time with greater focus, Eryndor punched the training dummy once again.

The numbers jumped on the screen, settling on a value of twenty four.

One point of increase. Not bad.

Eryndor had read in the manual how one would need to continuously refine their control over Qi to accurately move it through the mentioned circuit to bring out the greatest potential of Internal Fist.

It was an offensive technique which had the property of bypassing defenses, directly attacking the core part.

If someone hit the surface of the body, it would be the organs below which would face a direct blow from the punch.

But the increase was kinda fast. What’s going on?

Eryndor hadn’t missed how he was able to get it in the first try and also improve its power immediately after.

Even when he performed the practice technique, he was easily able to succeed in the first try.

Is it related to my extraordinary origins?

Eryndor couldn’t make any guesses without having anything to work with.

Shaking his head, he once again focused on circulating Internal Fist.

He would need to practice a bit more and find out if he was indeed picking up things a bit too early.

If controlling Qi really came that easily to him, Eryndor could already imagine himself learning plenty of cultivation arts and pushing them beyond their limits.

Time to find out.
