Chapter 281: Air Palm Strike Training Part 4

Adam repeated the cycle of training in the gravity training room for 12 hours, and hunting in the dungeon for 24 hours, which was only half that time in reality, and after a week finally heard the notification that he had been waiting for.

{Ding, the host has reached the minimum level of mastery and understanding to unlock the Air Palm Strike Skill from the system} announced Ava, who still had to provide Adam the notifications and announcements in the same format as the system's program.

Hearing that within his mind, Adam was overjoyed and it was just like when he was learning the Fundamental Defensive Techniques.

He didn't actually have to completely learn the skill, but once he grasped the concept of the skill to a minimal level, the system would form a skill out of his understanding and desired skill.

Over the past week, he had studied the manual that his master gave him and it instructed him to begin with a basic movement and breathing technique. 

He needed to use all the muscles in his body cohesively to be able to unleash the most power possible and it reminded Adam just how important one's technique and combat prowess was.

With the Air Palm Strike Skill, he would be able to severely wound and even kill opponents that were much more powerful than him, merely because of the skill using the power of the entire body in a single strike.

It was a very draining skill, but it also could be used on smaller scales like his master had used it, and that would be less draining.

In that week, his Strength, Speed and Resistance stats had all been increased by quite a few points and he had become almost completely accustomed to the gravity training room's environment.

His body was incredible and although he was much slower, weaker and would tire out quicker in the gravity training room, the pain and strain that his body felt were much less than before and he was able to run around the gravity training room.

After running around the gravity training room for an entire day, on the second day of his training, Adam began training the manual that his master had given him.

He was only able to begin running because of the power boost that his body experienced after Adam killed the Boss Beast of Floor 5 and reached LVL 50.

After he completed Floor 5, Adam was rewarded 7 extra stat points that he decided to save and also received a powerful armour from the Boss Beast that would be very useful for him while hunting in the dungeon.

With his newfound power boost, which his master noticed and was amazed by, Adam continued training diligently with the same split of 12 hours training in reality and 24 hours hunting in the dungeon, which was 12 hours in reality.

There were a few different physical training and breathing exercises that he practised and Adam practised it consistently for the training time that he had for the rest of the week.

On the last day, he felt that he had trained enough of the training part of the manual to move onto the last step that was very vague, but was the next step that he needed to train in to learn the Air Palm Strike Skill.

With his Hunter's Mind, combat experience and naturally high perceptivity, Adam very quickly learnt the movements and physical components of the Air Palm Strike and using only that, it was still a very powerful attack.

He could unleash multiple times that attack power of an ordinary fist, but Adam was learning to integrate what he learnt about using the force of his entire body, starting from his legs, up to his hips, then his back and shoulders, then finally through his arms, into the rest of his attacks.

The last step, that his master had never expected him to move onto in a single week, was to attempt to integrate Internal Energy into the attack as well, which would make it much more powerful and would also be what was causing the 'Air' part of the Air Palm Strike Skill.

Adam attempted to practise it and integrate Internal Energy into the flow of External Energy through his muscles, but it was much harder than he expected and he hadn't had any results the entire day.

His master observed him and decided not to give him the rest of the manual or give him any further instructions, wanting to see what Adam could come up with alone and maybe he could form his own variant of the Air Palm Strike Skil.

It was always best to learn and find out something alone rather than being shown and taught it directly, as what was formed would be more suited and also more understood by the individual.

The entire day he hadn't had any results, until the end of the day where he had managed to integrate a sliver of Internal Energy into the movements of the Air Palm Strike that he had learnt, and he was able to release a small burst of energy from his palm through the powerful strike.

It was nowhere near the power or mastery of what his master was able to do and also wasn't the full method of the skill, but it was enough for the system to formulate a skill based on it and provide it to Adam.

After Adam heard that notification within his mind, he sat down with a smile on his face, as his master who was watching him didn't understand why he did so.

He was finally beginning to understand the method of the full Air Palm Strike Skill after an entire day of training it, which was incredible, but instead of continuing his training, Adam decided to sit down and meditate.

However, he knew that Adam was unique and the smile on his face made his master think that something good had happened and he was curious as to what it was as he couldn't sense anything different.
