Chapter 284 - Completed Air Palm Strike Skill
"Adam, I will leave the technique with you and I trust that you will either destroy it or form something positive and useful out of it, but that will be the last thing I leave you. For now, you should continue training the Air Palm Strike Skill" stated the old man.
"Okay master, but can I ask you something? You don't have the completed version of the Air Palm Strike Skill, right?" asked Adam.
The old man was shocked by Adam's question and didn't know how to react.
"That is correct, but there is no way for you to know that. What the hell are you?" he asked, unable to believe that Adam knew that.
"I am human, but I know that because I told you before that I have an inheritance within my mind that has some skills, techniques and cultivation methods within it and after I understood the basics of the Air Palm Strike Skill, I unlocked it" answered Adam.
It was the perfect excuse that he had already used with his master and he had come up with it after Chase told him about his own Monk Inheritance.
If he didn't have that excuse, there was no other way that he could explain how his cultivation was progressing and where he gained all of the skills and techniques that he had.
"Does it have the full version of the skill?" asked his master with an eager expression.
"Yes, instead of releasing a beam of energy like you do, it has something to do with vibrations and releasing a small burst of energy and through it firing a beam of air. But I cannot explain it to you honestly and I can use it on instinct, but don't actually understand the skill" answered Adam honestly.
Hearing that his master was disappointed that he wouldn't have the chance to learn the skill that was one of the high level skills for the ancients that was widely used by them, but he was happy that his disciple had the skill.
"That inheritance that you have must be an ancient inheritance and it could have something to do with how you are able to amazingly cultivate in your sleep. You cannot tell anyone about it and try not to use the Air Palm Strike Skill as if seen by an ancient, you will be in big trouble" said his master.
"I will keep that in mind, but master, how come you didn't have the skill? It seems like quite a basic and ordainry skill" asked Adam.
"What! You think that is a basic and normal skill. It took me 2 years to reach the mastery of the skill that I am at and that is quite average for an ancient, yet you think that after a week you have mastered it and that it is basic" exclaimed his master in shock.
"Yes, it is basic. The concept is profound and requires great control over one's energy and also requires one to be able to vibrate their Internal Energy and have a very sturdy body. Also harmonising the entire body, then syncing it with Internal Energy is also hard, but I thought ancients were meant to be incredible" answered Adam with a mocking expression as he laughed at his master's shocked expression.
"You really are one of a kind," said his master after calming down.
"Now then, after all of that big talk, show me what you got"
"Alright, but give me some time to recover" accepted Adam who after finishing his food, used the Ethereal Recovery Skill for an hour.
The patience that a cultivator had is unrivalled and waiting an hour was nothing for somebody who had lived hundreds of years and cultivated for a lot of their lifetime.
After Adam had recovered most of his energy storages and HP that would lower due to the pressure on his body and internal organs, he jumped up and was just as excited as his master to see the results of the Air Palm Strike Skill.
"Are these clear walls of the gravity training room strong enough to handle an Air Palm Strike?" asked Adam who didn't have anything to target his attack at.
"Yes, it should be. You can think of it as a barrier array as that is kind of what it is, but it also has some other things in it to be able to hold in the gravity training room's effects" affirmed his master.
Hearing that Adam smiled as he widened his stance and pulled his right arm back, so that his hand was open and by his side, aiming in front of him.
Then he activated the Air Palm Strike Skill that merely required him to intend its activation and allow it to use his energy, as he thrust his palm forwards using the power of his entire body.
While doing so, Internal Energy around his energy pathways was coursing through his body, following the power that was building up in his muscles for the strike and began to vibrate rapidly.
Adam was in awe of the sensation and power that he was feeling throughout his body as it all converged on his palm as he launched a powerful palm strike forwards, then caused a beam of air to be sent crashing into the barrier of the gravity training room.
The power of the strike shook the entire base that they were in and caused some rubble to fall from the ceiling formed from the rock inside the cliff face, and both Adam and his master were shocked by its power.
Adam had used 4 EESP and IESP through the attack, and felt that it was enough to defeat any of the opponents he had faced so far in reality in a single strike.
Mason, who was the most powerful opponent that Adam had faced in reality, probably would have been taken down by that one strike.
Even the Boss Beast he had just faced would only be able to handle a few of those attacks from a distance, and if Adam was able to directly strike it with that attack, the internal damage would be severe.
