I Can Capture Attacks-Chapter 19 - : Visit

On the ninety ninth punch, Zixin finally understood Intent and the force of his punch reached the puppet. After comprehending Intent, Zixin didn't jump around in joy like a child but instead approached the puppet to continue practicing, even now, the puppet hadn't said anything, allowing Zixin to figure things out on his own.

Zixin then started punching the puppet again but this time, his punches exuded a sense of direction and purpose, like they intended to do something.

...

A day passed and Zixin was still punching the puppet, he'd been doing the same thing the whole day and night without rest. He'd been switching between hard and soft over and over again. The Hard Soft Fist Technique is a very difficult technique that requires months of practice in order to master it.

Technique mastery was also categorised into four steps; Initial Mastery, Improved Mastery, Great Mastery and Flawless Mastery. When Zixin comprehended Intent, he skipped all the steps and directly reached Flawless Mastery of it, that's why the puppet was shocked.

After a day of practice, Zixin seemed to finally understand the Hard Soft Fist Technique. He punched the puppet twice, the first punch was like a normal punch that wasn't a threat at all while the second punch was like a raging river that pushed back the puppet after collision.

[Congratulations, you've mastered the Hard Soft Fist Technique in just a day, you're definitely a genius.] The puppet complimented him but Zixin thought otherwise. He knew his talents well and Comprehension was the lowest of his talents.

'Did the Cultivation Technique alter my Comprehension, if so, it is a heaven defying cultivation technique.' thought Zixin.

[Now, let's move on to the Four Steps Of Disaster but I just want to tell you that I also haven't mastered this technique, I only managed to reach Initial Mastery.]

"Is it that difficult to master?!"

[Yes. Now, listen carefully. To practice this technique, both a strong body and Qi is needed so that it's easier to practice but you're only practicing the body, meaning that you can only master the first two styles; Explosion Earthquake and Collapse Earthquake. The Volcanic Earthquake requires a Fire Element Cultivator and the Tectonic Earthquake requires an Earth Element l Cultivator.]

"Oh."

[Now, it's good that you've mastered the Hard Soft Fist Technique because it's only with it that the process is simplified. To store force in your legs, you'll use soft force and when you release it, use hard force. It's that simple. Honestly, I spent months on this technique without progress but after I mastered the Hard Soft Fist Technique, it was very simple to master. Let me demonstrate.] said the puppet and Zixin moved back.

The puppet took a deep breath and once he breathed out, his entire demeanour changed to a more destructive and disastrous one. He was like a humanoid calamity.

He then moved around on the stage and left footprints on the reinforced concrete floor that were also force absorbent. This feat alone deserved respect because even the elders couldn't leave even a scratch on the stage with their physical bodies alone.

[This is my Initial Mastery over the Explosion Earthquake. Intent, Hard and Soft Forces are needed to master it. Now you try.]

"What kind of Intent was that?" asked Zixin.

[Disaster, Calamity, something along those lines.]

"Okay, let me try."

'Calamity, calamity, calamity, calamity!' Zixin repeated the same word in his head over and over again while imagining himself as a calamitous force of nature that destroyed everything in its path. While doing so, he kept executing the now Hard Soft Foot Techniques but nothing happened but he wasn't disheartened by the results and constantly repeated the same process.

Slowly, how Fist Intent changed into a Disaster Intent and he was getting a hang of executing his footwork.

...

While Zixin was engrossed in training, many sect elders went to Wan Shui's cave abode. They had naturally felt the surge of Spirit Qi from Zixin's mountain all the way to his cave and connecting the dots, they came to this conclusion.

Elder Shui had just finished consolidating his cultivation when the other elders suddenly came to visit.

"Everyone, you're here." he said.

"After your recent breakthrough, how could we not come to congratulate you."

"This way please."

Wan Shui led them to his tea house, the place was simple in design with everything made from wood. He then boiled water, took out porcelain cups, put a leaf in each cup and poured the boiling inside. The leaves then changed colour from green to brown while the water turned green. He then passed the tea to the elders who didn't immediately drink the tea.

"Brother Shui, congratulations on your breakthrough. We know how much you wanted to breakthrough and you've finally achieved. This is a small gift I brought you." said one of the elders.

"Thank you for your kind gestures everyone, you didn't need to bring gifts." said Elder Shui while putting the gift in his storage ring. The other elders also congratulated him and gave him gifts which he accepted, after that, there was small talk.

"Brother Shui, are you really going to serve that boy as your slave for eternity?" asked one of the elders.

"Yes, Brother Shui, just say the word and we'll get rid of that boy for you. A person of status and level, being a slave for a little brat is embarrassing." said another elder.

"Everyone, I've also thought about this issue and there's nothing I can do. My Dao Heart is at stake and I'm not willing to take any risks so please understand. I've been prideful and arrogant most of my life and overly care about my face which has led me to this predicament. If only I'd let things be, my disciple was already dead after all. This is retribution from the heavens, how many people have I trampled on my feet." said Elder Shui while looking at his reflection on the tea's surface.

"Brother Shui, don't lose hope, maybe you'll obtain your freedom again some day." said the elder before leaving. One after the other, the elders left his abode. In no time, Elder Shui was alone, he then drank the tea and wiped his mouth.

"Good tea! Now, let me start packing."
