113 Visualization Technique

Zarak signed for the duo to approach him, and his happy smile made it clear he was in a very good mood.

Cain walked until he was less than three meters away from Zarak before clasping his hands and bowing deeply.

“Master.” Cain’s voice carried his deep admiration and gratitude for the man. Zarak saved his life and helped him recover, becoming even stronger than before.

Zarak adopted a serious expression as he acknowledged Cain’s actions.

“I can see that you take full advantage of the B-Grade Blood Solution, improving your bloodline’s purity and Wave Talent. Very good.

Although people like you and me take the Ego Eternal Path of Power as our primary source of strength, we must never neglect our Wave Cultivation. Not only does it grant us a stronger body and vitality, but it also nurtures our willpower.”

Cain nodded and made sure to engrave every one of Zarak’s words in his mind. He knew that even though his willpower equals that of a Peak Wave Champion, he could not express battle power like that without his Astral Wave.

Of course, Cain was unaware of the fight between the Red King and the Wave Champion Atrox and how the first beat down the second like a dog without using a single wisp of Astral Wave.

“You seem to be training a high-grade cultivation technique and have an auxiliary technique of an even higher level, so there is no need for me to guide you in that aspect.

.....

Giving you better Wave Artifacts would be useless as your Astral Wave is not high enough to operate them. Those you currently have will be enough until Level 7.

Since your Wave Cultivation and equipment do not need my help, we can discuss our main subject, but before that, I will ask you a question.” Zarak’s aura became extremely sharp, and his eyes grew emotionless.

“Why do you believe I made you my core disciple?”

Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard that question. He was able to come up with an answer right away since this was not the first time he questioned Zarak’s purpose.

“After what I have seen and learned from you, I believe there are two reasons.

First, you see in me the potential to become a great powerhouse, and there is also the chance I remind you of someone or maybe even yourself. That is why you want to train me, so I can help the Godslayer Humankind Empire in the future, becoming one of its pillars.” Cain paused as he stared at Zarak, focusing on the expression of this one.

Zarak stared at Cain for a moment before nodding and signaling for him to continue.

“The second reason is more pragmatic and selfish. Somehow you will benefit from having a genius in the Ego Eternal Path of Power by your side. As for how that could be, I have no way of knowing since my understanding of Ego Cultivation is too shallow. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

As for what reason is more important and has a higher weight in your decision-making, I can not tell.”

Zarak began to smile again, and it was not before long that he burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, good, very good, brat. You are right, but the second reason is somewhat flawed.

You have entered the First Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power, Mind over Body. Right now, your willpower is strong enough to allow you granular control over your body functions and your brain’s chemistry. That will not only improve your battle power but also improve your cultivation speed and survival skills.

It is now time for you to begin the creation of your Visualization Technique.”

Zarak rose from his throne and signaled Cain and Abin to walk with him as he headed into the center of the room.

Cain’s eyes glowed with interest. The information he got from Zarak involved the basics of the Ego Eternal Path of Power but did not mention anything related to some Visualization Technique. Still, it was clear by how the powerhouse spoke that it was important.

“Right now, your willpower is chaotic and has no clear path forward, similar to how the Wave finds itself in its raw state. While you will develop your willpower through hardship and experiences, just taking that path will not only make things harder for you but also waste a lot of your potential.

It is at this point where Visualization Techniques come into play. I have not mentioned them before, nor did I give you any knowledge since learning it before reaching the First Realm could prove diametrical for your growth.”

Cain was surprised to hear just how essential Visualization Techniques were, and his eyes began to glow with red light. He was using his Ego Wave to enhance his cognitive abilities.

Zarak nodded as he saw Cain’s solemn attitude and carried on with his explanation.

“A Visualization Technique is the primary way in which we train. A simple description would be the way we Ego Cultivators visualize our willpower, giving them the form of an avatar, but it is much more complex than that.

It is not just imagination that constructs the avatar, but an intuitive aspect of your willpower that gives it form. It manifests your personality and idiosyncrasy, a reflection of your core beliefs. Once you form the avatar, it is almost impossible to change it.

The effects the avatar will have on your body and soul at first are not that obvious, but as it grows stronger, you will notice them more and more until they are an intrinsic part of your battle style.”

Zarak stopped speaking at this point before standing right in front of Cain and signaling this one to punch him.

“Use as much strength as you want and any type of attack you imagine. You don’t have to worry about harming me since, even without any defense, you lack the strength to do it.”

Cain nodded. He clenched his fist before firing a punch toward Zarak’s chest.

The punch did not have that much strength because Cain knew that if he used too much, he might fracture his fist since Zarak’s body was bound to be harder than any metal he had seen.

However, to Cain’s surprise, when his fist landed in Zarak’s chest, he felt no resistance. It was as if every ounce of strength in his punch faded away.

“Continue.”

That word drew Cain back to reality. He took a deep breath before unleashing his Wave Cloak and making it burst with all its strength.

He began to unleash punches and kicks toward Zarak’s body, even enhancing his extremities with lightning to improve their piercing power, but nothing worked.

Every time Cain’s attack landed on Zarak’s body, all the momentum and kinetic force in them would fade.

After a minute, Zarak raised a hand, singling Cain to stop before looking at this one straight in the eyes.

“Your analysis.”

Cain did not answer immediately and took a few minutes to review all he felt during those attacks. When he was sure that he thought of everything, he spoke.

“It is not like hitting a solid body. All my strength would disperse. If I have to give an analogy, it would be like hitting the water.”

Zarak showed a radiant smile when he heard that. He was delighted with Cain’s answer.

“Awesome. Perfect, brat, your analogy is excellent. Talent and perception do not always come hand to hand, but this time they did.” Zarak congratulated Cain and even patted this one’s shoulders a few times. Of course, he did not waste too much time with that before focusing again.

“My unique constitution was not granted to me by my Astral Rebirth Path of Power. Although I am not so arrogant to say that there are no techniques capable of emulating such characteristics, they would need the cultivation of a Titan or God.

I obtained this power thanks to my Visualization Technique.”

Zarak then adopted a meditative stance before signaling Cain and Abin to do the same. He took a deep breath, and a peaceful expression appeared on his face as his willpower emerged from his body, generating a blue force field that flooded the room.

The blue force field grew more and more powerful before a phenomenon began to appear.

Cain’s eyes widened as he saw a small drop of water on top of Zarak’s head. It did not look special, but when he focused on it, he felt a level of majesty that almost made him lose himself.

Slowly that magnificent drop of water began to grow, transforming into a current that surrounded the entire room. In it, there was an incredible vital force that seemed never to stop growing.

Cain felt an incredible sense of peace as he stared at that glorious river, but suddenly, he felt a burst of killing intent inside. It was so powerful that it almost suffocated him.

Confusion appeared on Cain’s face at the sudden change in the river, but then he saw Zarak’s face full of wrath. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

‘This water is his avatar, a manifestation of his willpower!’
