Martial Research Master

245 THE LEGACY OF MAD KING

Li Meng comprehended the first volume. After multiple repeats, he finally managed to touch the essence of it. Just how incredible was the man who formulated an art like this. The main reason for Li Meng’s awe was the laws which went into the building of this art.

The Dominator’s fist was an art which not only contained the essence of elemental laws but even included the secret of Ying-yang and Taoism in it. There was even the inclusion of fist and weapon intent within the attack, which made it such a dangerous, yet effective attack. The major reason behind Li Meng’s choice of using it as a last resort is the fact that he couldn’t bear the burden which comes with the execution of said art.

The Strikes of Thunderous palm on the other hand was an incredible creation. The figure who created it managed to hone it to such an incredible level that, the burden over the body is massively reduced. The destructive impact on the other hand is still comparable to the Dominator’s fist.

“It could only mean that I have comprehended the perfect blend yet. The art can further be polished to perfection. From what I can derive, both its smoothness and impact can go through a massive increase.”

“You should comprehend this art and infuse its qualities into the Dominator’s fist. This art can act as a guideline for you to develop your art on and can also act as a whetstone against which you can polish the Dominator’s fist.”

Li Meng nodded in agreement. There was too little time, and there was another volume which he could make sense of. Li Meng wanted to gain the top rank within this competition and hence began comprehending the second volume.

The initial laws were the foundation on which the second volume was based. In addition to those laws, Li Meng could faintly feel the presence of intent.

“Just what kind of intent was used to create the second volume?”

“Palm and fist intent is the top choice when making an art like this.” The Keeper spoke.

.....

“Although they are the best choice, I could feel the power output to be unconventional. Palm and Fist intent is the basis for this attack since it is a palm art, but the power output can’t be achieved from just the two of them. There must be something else in play here.”

“Try it out with the various intents you have managed to comprehend.” Li meng followed the Keeper’s advice and began to experiment with all kinds of intent. He had managed to gain comprehension in sword, sabre, spear, hammer and many more types of weapons. After all the various specimens were executed, Li meng eyes were filled with shock.

“Did you find anything?” The Keeper asked.

“The art infuses weapon intent for sure. What surprised me was the number of intents in the second volume. It is no less than two. The creator of this art is sure to have comprehended weapon intent to level 3 just like me.”

“Could you feel the possible combinations?”

“That is the part which hinders my path. I tried a similar experiment while creating the Dominators’ Fist. To my surprise, I found that multiple combinations could act in the same manner. The combination of spear and hammer intent is quite similar to that of sword intent. I need more time to experiment with the various possibilities.”

“Do you understand the major problem with the infusion of weapon intents in body arts?”

“The possible inability of the body to bear the burden of it flowing through its vein. It is the factor which forces me to use the Dominator’s fist as the last resort.”

“What could be done to overcome such difficulty?” The Keeper asked.

Li Meng thought for a moment and a sudden idea came to his mind.” Body cultivation.” He spoke these two words.

“Exactly. The motive of any attack art is to be destructive. If a compromise is to be done, it shouldn’t be in the domain of impact, but rather in the executor’s body. You need to undergo extreme refining of the body to control such an art.”

“If I had known which body refining art he practiced, I might be able to understand the theory behind the second volume.”

“But you don’t have that opportunity as of now. You should just take your own body as a guideline and try to create a blend which will not be a burden for you.”

“But he might also be able to have a body like me?”

“That is quite unlikely. The reason I am confident in this section is because of the series of stages you have undergone. You are someone who is aiming to connect with Chaotic Laws. The creator of this art is at most someone who connects with multiple Heavenly laws. ”

“Is it something you say with certainty, or just a hoax to promote my confidence?” The Keeper chose not to answer Li Meng’s question.

Li Meng didn’t dwell on the matter any longer and decided to try out this theory. All the avatars available began to execute the same set of art but with a different blend of laws and intents. When the execution was finally complete, most of the avatars were sweating up, except for two.

“Sword and fist and the other set include spear, hammer and fist.” When the avatars managed to heal themselves up, Li Meng asked three of them to try the first set, while another two practiced the second set.

The process continued.

“You have half an incense stick remaining before the time runs out.” The keeper reminded. Li Meng ignored him and continued his experimentation.

Another hour within the Crimson Lord world-

Li Meng finally came to his senses, with a smile over his face. “Found it.”

“It is the infusion of a sword and hammer along with the fist. I initially thought of the spear, but the fluidity of the art went against that theory.” The Keeper was satisfied with the reply.

Li meng closed his eyes and began executing the art again and again in his mind. When the final execution was complete, a scene repeated itself. Another glowing figure came into Li Meng’s mind.

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

The stone stele shined with bright light.

Every observer was shocked on seeing this scene. The elder in charge gulped a mouthful of cold air. He couldn’t believe his eyes, and all his hair was standing straight with excitement.

“Someone actually managed to obtain it.” The old man spoke up. The two men beside him were surprised to hear these words. They could see the brilliant glow of the stone stele.

“Is it Li Meng?”

“If that brat managed to pull this off, I am abducting him after the end of this competition. No one can take him away from me.” There was a hint of madness within his eyes.

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

The figures continued to showcase a set of moves and Li Meng’s projection was simply copying it. As time went by, the moves were getting more and more synced. It continued until the projection was finally resonating with the figure.

The figure stopped moving and looked at Li Meng’s projection. It then raised its hand and attacked the figure. Li Meng responded with a similar attack. Both fists collided and the figures backed off. It was a tie. The figure rushed towards the projection once again.

The bout repeated itself, but there were no certain outcomes. What remained consistent was the amount of energy that went into each attack.

“If that is the case, why don’t I give you a surprise?”

Li Meng utilized the most powerful blend which he experimented with. The glowing figure was instantly crushed to the ground. It then burst out and the scene changed.

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

Li Meng was transported into another world. He stood alone within a huge space, with a stone stele in the middle of it. Li Meng approached it and found something written in bold letters.

“MAD THUNDER KING”. This was the inheritance left by the creator of this peerless art.
