Celine flipped backwards, and evaded the strike with grace She landed steadily on top of a large white rock nearby; she looked fazed
"What are you doing?! Don't you know that you should respect your elders and love your young?!"
"Erudas, watch carefully"
Garen disregarded care and quickened his pace forward, his stance instantly converting into Shot Forht palm forward
"This is Shot Form!"
Wham!
The rock cracked at his palm strike, and bits of rubble flew in all directions Celine barely er
Garen curved his right ar outwards swiftly like a whip
"This is Swing Form!"
Crack!
A small tree in the woods by the lake, with a trunk as thick as an ar about as she was chased by Garen
"You bastard! You only kno to bully underage girls! Ahhh!" Aler as she ran off into the distance, cursing all the way
Garen reverted to a norently exhaled Those few strikes were all made in one breath, but it was over before he had time to exhale
"Stances are the postures that make it easiest to attack and defend If you were to casually stand straight, then the distance it takes for your arer than if you were already adopting a stance Don't belittle this ht, it may come down to this little bit of distance"
"Yes, Master!" Erudas replied loudly even though he didn't fully coh attacks earlier, his eyes gleamed in admiration
"From today onwards, stand in this stance every day, until you can't hold it any longer, until your knees tremble!" Garen said calmly
"Yes!"
Garen nodded This kid had so to endure hardship, and even obedient—he would do whatever he was told—this was the ideal disciple Even if Garen didn't have any intention of receiving a disciple at the ive hiin to create the stance on his own, Garen corrected hisin the distance
"Come with me"
Celine stared at him fiercely, hesitated, but still followed
The two of them walked to a set of stone table and stools in the woods, where Garen sat down naturally
"The descendant of Neptune Fist, it is said that your Neptune Gate was a crucial great sect in the North In ancient times you almost separated to declare your own duchy I'm sure you must be privy to a lot of secrets?" he took the lead to speak first
Celine jumped onto a stone stool and crouched on it
"What do you want to know? Let me be clear upfront, I don't know much either"
"I want to know about Duskdune Shura He defeated on Gate What is that?" Garen asked his first question
"Dragon Gate?" Celine's petite face wrinkled "You're sure it's Dragon Gate?" Her expression started to turn serious
"I'on Gate' and so on, from first to fourth Every strike that hit e" Garen was fixated on this point His Body Hardening Technique was based on the principle of flowing Qi and blood, yet his opponent's Dragon Gate could actually paralyze the body and control Qi and blood—it was like the bane of the Body Hardening Technique
Celine becaht breeze ht with it a slight chill The rays of sunset shone through the leaves at an angle on the ground, tree trunks, the stone table and chairs, and the two of the of ently brush away the fallen leaves froently clion Gate is rueneral sectin it, but it is very powerful"
She paused, then continued, "The unique characteristic of Seven Dragon Gate is that it continuously increases in power"
"Starting froon Gate, the second, then the third If a person was continuously hit by all of it, the power of each fist will continue to increase At the sa the flow of Qi and blood The further it progresses, thedown the movement of the opponent, to the point of co consecutive-strike martial art I can't believe Duskdune Shura has actually mastered it"
Garen's broitched "We're equally Grander than me!"
"EDDC"
"'Grandmasters of Combat' is merely a collective description of a select few martial art practitioners who have reached the huories within It's only normal," Celine said matter-of-factly "Now there are these so-called Grade E and Grade D categorizations Those are the levels used to categorize the strength of firearms In actuality, al you One level higher would be Grade C, which is currently the category for special unit weapons, such as special gunpowder and powerful weaponsdefended by Grandmasters of Combat Perhaps only a very small number of Grandht be one of them"
"Then do you know about the existence of people with supernatural abilities?" Garen asked in a low voice
"Supernatural abilities? You mean telekinesis?" Celine was shocked "You've encountered such people?"
Garen nodded
"In , I've encountered them multiple times too Those people are very h telekinesis, and view the mortals But in actuality, they arethe world because of a tragic incident," Celine said softly
