Chapter 158 - Xiao Lin's New Plan

So, immediately Xiao Lin thought this, and without looking around to see if anyone was looking at him, he immediately unleashed his True Vampiric power which appeared as currents of a peculiar power within his body. And once this occurred, Xiao Lin suddenly felt his comprehension rate go up by many folds.

Feeling glad at the upgrade of his comprehension capability, he focused again on the massive image of a palm floating in his mind and exerting pressure on it. And immediately he did that, he was able to quickly perform feats in his mind, such as enlarging the image to a magnification level of hundred times more, or shrink it so much that the image became like a grain of sand.

'Awesome! I didn't know I have this kind of ability. Coming here wasn't really in vain. In fact, it has helped me to understand a little more of my hidden abilities.' Xiao Lin said excitedly within himself.

'Now that I have discovered another way to use my True Vampiric power, I will be able to use it to comprehend more intricate diagrams and images of battle, movement or cultivation techniques in the very near future. Haha.' Xiao Lin said within himself once more and laughed.

Now, returning his mind to a state of complete seriousness, he began to study the image.

Then with a particular thought from him which was simply 'Magnify', the diagram which was composed from tens of thousands of linking, glowing texts, suddenly enlarged so much that if they appeared in the outside world, they would connect with the sky, and possibly break through it to reach the dark empty void outside the cultivation world.

And now that the diagram had grown so large in his mind, Xiao Lin was able to see the enlarged texts that composed the image so clearly in his head. Then observing the linkages of the texts by moving his mind really fast around it so as to study it very carefully and systematically, he was able to come to a conclusion that this image which seemed strange, was similar to a hand.

'Is this image the image of a palm?' Xiao Lin asked within himself, as he couldn't be very sure of what it was.

Then deciding to move his mind round it again and again to carefully and observantly study it, he came to a final conclusion that the image in his head was the image of a hand. And once he arrived at this conclusion, he began to think further.

'But why the image of a hand? What's it for? Can it be for cultivation? Or for battle? Or it could be a movement skill that uses the concept of the technique to generate an illusory or solid palm formed from Spiritual Energy to move the user or operator of the technique into the distance?'

But once he thought this, he shook his head in disagreement to what he just uttered within himself.

Then he continued, 'This palm can't definitely be for movement. And neither can it be for cultivation. Therefore, it should be for battle.'

And once he contemplated this, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, 'Wait... Can I create my own move using this hand image in my head. Although it's gonna probably take me a lot of time to do so, it would however be really nice to have a self-created technique of my own. And when I finish creating it and eliminate the flaws in the hand-shaped attack to make it strike harder and deal a lot of inconceivable damages, I can call it the Devil's Ominous Crushing Hand. Hmm. I like the name. Sounds nice. Let me get to work.'

But before he could so, he recalled that that he was still at the examination ground and had to comprehend the abstruseness of the image in his head before a month was up.

So, once he remembered this, he couldn't help but utter' Urgh!' within himself and have his rapidly swelling excitement die down.

'Anyways, I can always come back to it. All I just have to do now is to copy the form of the hand image so as to generate my own attack based on it form.' Xiao Lin spoke internally.

Then as he was thinking of copying the form of the hand image so as to build one himself later that wouldn't be structurally flawed, he said inwardly to himself with the brows on his face deeply furrowing, 'Will it be possible to look at the image from above so that I can see how it really looks and duplicate mine?'

'Hmm. I could probably do so with my mind now imbued with my True Vampiric power. Let me try it out first.' Xiao Lin said within himself.

Then with a simple thought from him which was simply 'sky view', his mind suddenly appeared far above the massively enlarged diagram of a hand in his mind.

'Whaaat?! I actually succeeded in doing so. Haha! This is really wholesome!' Xiao Lin said within himself with a delighted expression appearing outwardly in his face.

Then quickly recollecting himself in the next instant before any of the elders watching them would take note of the expression on his face, he focused again on the massive hand far below his mind. And once he did so, he began to take notice of the form of the hand. He made sure that he really took his time to observe the way the hand was. And after doing that for sometime, he came to a conclusion that this wasn't the hand of a human, but the paw of probably some primitive beast that have lived long ago in the past and could possibly still be living.

'Hmm. I will still copy it like that. The only thing that I will need to do is to modify it name so that it can really suit the battle technique.' Xiao Lin said inwardly.

He then continued, 'So, I will either call it the 'Ominous Underworld Beast Paw, or the Rebellious Devil Beast Paw.'

And once he said that and liked the two names that he wanted to give his self-created technique, he began to contemplate more, in the direction of preparing a template for the the battle technique.

'Now, for every Spiritual Energy attack, they always have a particular base or foundation that the attack is built upon."

'So, for mine, and since I cultivate four different energies for now, as I am sure that the elders will want to make me pick one or two particular elemental Spiritual battle arts to study and master the techniques therein, I can start off the foundation for my attack using the strongest energy that I possess. And that should be Blood Energy, or is it my dark Spiritual Energy? Ugh! This is confusing.'

'Well, since they are both overbearing and tyrannical at the same time, and much more stronger than my other energies since I focused on them the most, I can make a foundational energy matrix for my newly conceived attack.'

'So, I will mix the both of them and blend them to form one, and then use that perfect fusion of my energies to create the powerful base for my attack. Then using this base of fused energy for my attack, I will build upon it using my Hermetic Demonic Energy and Paragon Werewolf Energy. Also, I could add some wisps of my Blood Energy and my dark Spiritual Energy to them so as to strengthen them, which would in turn raise the damaging power and destructive capability of my attack to another level. Hmm. Sounds right' Xiao Lin said within himself.

He then placed his concentration once again on the palm far below his mind which floated at a higher altitude above the palm. And as soon as he did so, he made sure to study the palm again so as not to make any mistake that wood result in his self-created technique becoming severely or heavily flawed.

So, after scanning the palm again and again and checking with the one that he had branded to his memories for reference in the nearest future when he would set out to create his technique, he immediately stopped what what he was currently doing and lowered himself like he was actually flying to the bottom of the enormously magnified image in his mind.

Now, he wanted to take his time to memorize one after the other, the linkages of the glowing cryptic texts formed from the combination of indecipherable letters and symbols, and how the linkages connected to one another to form the supposed paw of possibly, an exalted anciently beast.

Although this would utterly waste the time that he was supposed to use for comprehending the profoundness of the image in his mind, Xiao Lin however felt that it was completely worth it, as the attack which would continue to grow as he added other cultivated energies in future to it, would become so powerful that even glorified empyrean spiritual rulers of continents, majestic spiritual beasts and heavenly-rebelling devils and ancient supreme demons will become terrified of it.
