He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 195. A new use for shadow sense 2

" You want to have a spar with me?" Jackson asked Kailen.

" Yeah. Is there anything wrong with that?" Kailen said.

" Pffft... Looks like you’ve met a troublesome brat "

Old Ha was laughing at Jackson from the side.

Kailen’s comical reply had really given Jackson a taste of his own medicine.

Jackson sighed at the old man’s antics. Why was he laughing? What was funny about what Kailen had just said?

" Sure. Let’s get to the one of the training halls of this estate "

****

In a large training hall in the estate , Jackson and Kailen stood at opposite end, their weapons branded in their hands.

Jackson held a long sword glowing with crimson light. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Kailen had conjured an obsidian katana, pulsing eerily with the darkness of night.

" A katana huh. Takes me back. Your father wielded this weapon too"

Jackson said, memories of the past flashing through his eyes.

Old Ha , seated outside the range of their battlefield ,observed Kailen with curiosity.

Jackson was a rank 4 intermediate stage ascendant level monster who could even go toe to toe with him even when he utilized just a rank 1 supreme stage ascendant levels strength.

He was really curious about how this brat would fare against him.

Also, he wanted to know what kind of enlightenment this kid had gotten.

Jackson stared at Kailen " I’m gonna limit my strength to the rank 5 beginner stage ascendant level.I hope that does not count as bullying?"

Kailen chuckled lightly " As long as you don’t end up killing me "

Jackson nodded.

" I suppose I could test my strength here before doing that in the virtual universe network" Kailen mused inwardly .

Kailen’s shadow creatures ,numbering the 200’s turned into tenebrous trails in the shadow expanse.

They materialised into an obsidian armor around him ,pulsing with obsidian light ,as black as night.

Strength like never before coursed through him.

The shadow sense skill of shadow manipulation ,was operating at full throttle.

Clad from head to toe in his obsidian armor,he moved ,branding obsidian katana in hand.

He wanted to see if he had truly been able to blend the fighting styles of the duo like he had simulated in his mind into his own. When he observed their shadows,not only did he realize he could mimick their fightings styles. He realized something profound, the movements of their shadows. That was the key component. Shadows were mirrors, they were also light, dextrous, unpredictable ,fluid ,ethereal and untouchable. He wanted to incorporate their battle styles into that phenomenon. Kailen didn’t have a particular battle style. His father had taught him how to use the katana ,yes. But he did not have a particular method of fighting, a signature meant for him, a way to move on the battlefield.Something born from his very essence and nature, and his affinity.

He had the seven phantoms movement technique. But that was just it, a movement technique. He didn’t have a battle style.

" Let’s see how this turns out" Kailen moved.

Katana and long sword met,causing ripples to spread towards the environs.

The air pulsed, screaming from the sheer tremors of their clash.

Tang

Tang

Tang.

The sound of metals clashing over and over again resounded in the span of a few seconds.

The silhouettes ,red and obsidian,of master and disciple, danced in absurd synchrony.

Jackson would deliver a strike towards Kailen’s jaw, but the young man would determine the trajectory of the attacks and counter it.

A slash towards the neck.

A block.

A roundhouse kick.

A block.

A slash to the torso.

A simple yet precise counter.

Two steps forwards, two steps back.

Kailen’s movements,unpredictable, like shadows, weaving in and out of the battlefield.

And yet,there was something profound in them.

He was moving like Jackson at the same time, direct in his motions,just like Jackson’s yet,at the same time,differently - unpredictable, Lethal yet ,incoporal.

The more they exchanged attacks ,the more mysterious Kailen’s fighting style became,yet ,he countered Jackson’s attacks perfectly,as though he knew where each attack would come from.

The movements of Kailen seemed similar ,yet different -incoporable,fluid and unpredictable from Jackson’s .

Old Ha observed from the side muttering inwardly, " This kid,is terrifying"

A sense of realization dawned on him. This kid , so this was his enlightenment.

He was developing a battle style.

This was something not everyone could achieve.

Sometimes it took years and years of fighting on the battlefield to develop a unique signature, battle style. It was something that increased one’s strength absurdly.

And yet, this kid had achieved something that took others years to achieve in observing him and Jackson battle,just once?

This kid was mysterious and really full of surprises.

" As expected of that monster kid’s son" He sighed.

A wave of excitement however coursed through him.

The alchemy association had struck gold this time.

Also, he was looking forward to what this kid will achieve. Definitely ,this young man will go far.

" It’s quite unfortunate that even my status cannot prevent the clans from trying to harm him in secret"

He sighed " But every genius will have to climb over bones and blood of their enemies to rise. I’m rooting for him. The best we can do is support him as much as we can. The rest will depend on him"

As for Jackson however,he was shocked.

Extremely shocked.

They had clashed for several times.

And yet he had not landed a single blow on this kid?

Just how? How was this possible?

" Can he read the future or something? . His movements ,the more we fight, the more it becomes like mine,but the more it also becomes fluid ,ethereal and incoporal . This kid... Is a monster "

The duo clashed over and over again .

Jackson was howerver glad as they exchanged attacks after attacks.

This nephew of his, was gonna go places.

And he would do his best to support this kid. To do that,he had to grow stronger himself.Else, this child would be the one taking care of him very soon,instead of the other way round.

" Saul, your son is a monster "

Kailen however was filled with excitement.

" It worked. Time to kick things up a notch "
