Chapter 526: Heart of Pride

Of course, he never thinks that Ayera had some teacher from Utgard tribe teaching her this.

If her tribe have someone that could teach this kind of method, then Utgard would not be a small tribe and sandwiched between many powerful tribes and unable to break through all of these years

Knowing Garron if he have such a helper, he would already use the helper to gain a foundation here in the Southern Great Steppe and he would never have to navigate the many tribes with diplomacy and intrigue

Twenty five percent, he mutters to himself.

He had recovered twenty five percent of his stamina.

His trembling hand behind his back is now slightly stable

Ayera makes another moves and Aeryon moves again.

This time he felt it clearly. If he had taken one second step late, probably in his previous position, a flying knives would be shot towards him

Aeryon look at Ayera and there is a smirk on his face, showing confidence

He is bluffing right now. Well, with twenty five percent of his stamina has recovered, he is at least confident enough to talk.

If Ayera rush towards him right now, one palm strike is enough.

But Ayera is fast.

She is even faster than him

But it is not her speed that made him feel helpless.

It is that method.

Method of transferring his energy

That is what he felt before when his palm force connected.

Even though the palm force already left his hand, when that palm force reached Ayera, Aeryon could still feel that palm, force.

Like there is some kind of telepathic connection between him and the energy he let out.

That is the best way he could describe it

The moment passes.

And by now, fifteen seconds had passed.

Both of them did not seem to make any moves.

But actually, with every few steps they take, they already made many moves in their mind.

Aeryon like sit more the more they delay like this.

But as the time passes, Aeryon also felt something wrong.

It is fine for him to delay because the more he delay, the more stamina he could replenish.

But what about Ayera?

How could she not know the more this stalemate continues, the more disadvantageous it is for her

And then Aeryon realizes it

The moment he realizes it his face frown.

"This delay also seems advantageous for her"

Ayera make some movement but all of this movement is to confuse Aeryon of her true intention

If Aeryon right now is gathering back his stamina to continue using his palm method, then Ayera is now letting the time passes by because she wanted to nurture the sword in her heart

The more time passes, the sharper the sword in her heart become

But they both could not stop fighting.

Fifteen second might not seem long.

But for a battle that is as intense as their battle just now, to suddenly stop for fifteen second with both of them not making any moves after that.....anyone could see that there is something wrong with this

Aeryon could see it and Ayera could see it.

Both of them had noticed it.

They have a trump card and they needed time

It is not so much a trump card as it is their finishing moves

But both of them did not say anything to the other nor did they disrupt each other. Both of them...is convinced that their method could subdue the other person

Aeryon could engage in psychological attack right now. He could mention many things to disturb Ayera mind.

But he disdain to use such method against Ayera.

Ayera could also do the same thing.

There is not many thing to attack Aeryon in term of mental attack.

And that is why Ayera did not even bother.

And just focusing on sharpening the sword is already taking away most of her concentration, so how could she even engage verbal battle with Aeryon right now?

Since that is the case, there is no need for her to do such thing.

Aeryon then stopped moving. And Ayera also stopped moving

Twenty second had passes.

Ayera and Aeryon look at each other again.

But this time both of them have different eyes than before

Whether it be Aeryon or Ayera, both of their eyes have some fire in it

And the space between them become even more compressed. In Aeryon side, the area become hot

In Ayera side, the grass near her feet sways violently even though there is no wind. Both of them no longer pretend to move. Instead, both of them is taking time

It is like there is a tacit understanding between them

Let decide it with our trump card. That is the kind of understanding that they reached even though they did not say anything with their words

Aeryon no longer close his eyes. He could not afford to right now. Instead, he thinks over what he needed to do

He is summarizing the things he had just noticed when he uses that palm method.

"The strikes must be delivered with precise timing"

"I need to control the release of the power more so I would not overdraft myself. And I need to pay attention to my footwork and positioning. Certain position would make it easier and certain position would make certain moves become even more effective"

"But I don’t have abundant internal energy reserve" this is something Aeryon had already recognized. But recognizing and personally experiencing it is a different matter.

Only after he uses the two-palm strike, he understood why in his world the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm is said could only be mastered with those master with deep internal strength

In his world, of course there is no such thing as Eighteen Dragon Subduing palm. And even those Qi did not exist.

But in this world it exists.

And since he based his palm method on the Eighteen Dragon Subduing palm, Aeryon also realize that his palm method does have the advantage of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing palm but also have its weakness

It is not so much as a weakness as it is a prerequisite for learning the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm

A high internal energy and abundant internal energy reserves

A powerful body to withstand the pressure of this energy would also complement this palm method even more

But Aeryon does not have internal energy.

Yet, the two palm strikes shows that he does have internal energy

Yet, he did not know where it came from

He have speculations that maybe the energy come from his stamina.

Because his stamina drained by half with only two palm strike

But stamina alone is not enough.

Aeryon refuse to believe that. Because if stamina is the equivalent of internal energy, there would be so many people all over the world would be able to master internal energy

There would not be this world where martial artist that could fly over the city walls and Ashana that could move hills and lakes is only spoken of legends

Aeryon however did not think too much about it.

Instead, he is thinking how to attack.

Each of the palm strike required significant internal energy.

If it’s a normal palm strike, yes, he did not need to worry about using internal energy

But his palm method could only show its true prowess only if it is complemented with the force of internal energy

And he could not use it continuously. Two strikes drains half his stamina .

By that calculation four strikes is his maximum strike

If there is Eighteen strikes in his palm method, he could only use four.

And there is even chance that he would only be able to use method once in a while

And he remembers something else about the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and that is that improper execution of the palm method risked the force to rebound and harming the user of this skill

The moment between them now has stretched to fifty second.

Aeryon close his eyes

His stamina has recovered completely.

When he closes his eyes, it means he already has the determination to end this.

He already knows what moves he should do and what moves he couldn’t

He couldn’t use the later moves that he had think in his head.

Because the later moves he envisioned in his mind required especially profound internal strength

Of course, he could compromise and created a mediocre moves. But Aeryon is not only stubborn.

He is also prideful.

In certain things like being a leader, he knows that being stubborn is not good.

Nor is being prideful wise

But it is different when creating your own method of fighting.

Those who reached the peak of warrior realms are all people who have stubbornness carved in their bones and all of them have the pride in their heart of being the invincible in the era they live in

This pride and hot bloodedness that made them able to treat setback as challenge and able to grow whether they succeed or failed.

A kind of will of invincibility that permeates their moves

A kind of belief that could even affect the world!
