Chapter 1036: The Seven Arts of the Blood Dragon Primogenitor.
"The first level trains your gravity control and teaches you to stand on any surface." Victor began to execute his martial arts movements slowly.
The women's eyes were glued to his body, and they felt like children again as they trained with their respective masters.
On the other hand, Anna was shamelessly only looking at Victor's body. Although she understood martial arts and even practiced a little, she was not as enthusiastic as the women gathered here. She was more of a political woman, preferring to blast enemies with power. She didn't really enjoy fighting, so she stayed away from it and only trained if necessary to control her power.
As he performed the movements, the women saw him stand on any surface.
"With just one look, I can tell the requirements for learning these martial arts," Scathach said.
"Yes... Not everyone can learn this. Only those races that have the power to control the world around them entirely, like dragons," Rose nodded.
"Huh? Why?" Anna asked, blushing slightly for getting lost in her husband's body.
"Victor isn't just 'standing' in the air; he's distorting reality to create a solid surface. Even if an enemy attacks him in the air, he won't 'fall'. He'll behave as if he were on the ground," Rose explained.
"Hehe, you caught on quickly, as expected," Victor laughed as he continued his movements. "Only races that can inherently distort reality like true dragons can learn these martial arts."
"Moving on, the second level is designed to train close combat," Victor began to execute attacks, and even with his immense strength, the wind around him was not reacting.
He was doing something beyond that.
"Incredible... To think it can be used like this, no wonder the need to distort reality was a requirement," Haruna sighed.
Scathach, Morgana, and Rose just nodded in shock as well.
"The same principle applies to the legs... When you master reality distortion on a smaller scale without needing to speak for something to happen, you can move to the next level. Level 3 of my art is amplification. You take everything you've learned and improve it."
What Victor was doing might look like simple and powerful punches to less experienced eyes, but they were mistaken. When Victor punched for a few seconds, reality shattered and repaired itself immediately.
"The same principle applies to the legs... When you master reality distortion on a smaller scale without needing to speak for something to happen, you can move to the next level. Level 3 of my art is amplification. You take everything you've learned and improve it."
Victor took a deep breath and exhaled as an abnormal pressure fell on everyone around, and Victor began to execute the movements at high speed.
With every punch and every kick, a small hole in reality was created. He performed all the close combat movements, and when he was about to finish, he spoke.
"When you master level 3, you can do this..." Victor looked at the sky, assuming a position similar to Clan Fulger's but simultaneously very different, as he punched the air.
There was no explosion, no air pressure; what happened was much worse. Straight ahead, reality began to shatter until a gigantic hole was created in the space outside the planet.
The women looked at the violet hole in the sky in shock.
"I don't have a name for this technique, but I call it the infinite punch. Using the principles of the Fulger Clan technique, I distort reality at the moment of the punch so that reality interprets that I punched in the same place with infinite mass."
"By the seven hells, I don't doubt that this attack could destroy a planet."
"Perhaps." Victor snapped his fingers, and everything was fixed as if it had never existed.
"And yes, this is still a martial art. I can do the same thing using my brute power, and the results would be even worse."
"The advantage of using martial arts is that it doesn't use much energy, and it's more economical," Victor nodded satisfactorily.
"...you can create holes in reality that could very well simulate a Big Bang and not use much energy."
"...Yeah... That's nonsense," Haruna finished with an incredulous sigh.
Victor chuckled. "Energy, that's where the next lesson comes in."
"At level 4, you learn to use your energy like an infinite loop, just like the Ouroboros. You won't spend your energy much, and you'll keep your body's activity going until your body wears out."
Victor repeated the movements this time however, he didn't attack and only repeated the movements while being covered in violet energy.
"Only a small amount of energy is leaking..." Scathach spoke.
"Yes, that's intentional. At this level, you still don't have enough control to do two difficult things at once, so letting energy leak intentionally is like telling your body to act automatically."
"That's where level 5 of the technique comes in. At this level, you seek perfect control."
The women saw that the energy stopped leaking from Victor's body and was acting like an endless loop.
"When you achieve perfect control of all your energy, you can enter level 6. At this level, you begin to train your soul."
"Use the energy from the endless loop and direct it to the deepest part of your soul, carefully, diligently. Small remnants of your soul will merge with your energy, making it even more robust."
Slowly, Victor's skin began to turn completely unnaturally violet, as if he was becoming a being of energy.
Despite having many doubts in mind, the women didn't interrupt Victor as they continued watching him perform his movements.
"Until finally, you reach level 7, where the robust part of the soul partially merges with the body." Victor's violet color began to disappear until his body was completely black, like pure darkness, and veins of energy formed all over his body.
"In this way, you make your body the most resistant object in the universe without losing strength. Even if someone attacks me and damages my defense, my soul will not be harmed because I am only using the robust aspects of my soul's defense and not using my soul itself."
"Of course, even before you reach this stage, you can do the same with weapons." A Greatsword was created in Victor's hand, and the Greatsword took on the same appearance as he was now.
While performing the movements, Victor stopped at the end again and attacked the air. Just like before, a cut was created in space, creating a huge hole, almost 50 times larger than before.
"The only difference is that you need an extremely good weapon to withstand the pressure. From what I tested, only Junketsu withstood all the pressure while the other weapons were completely destroyed."
"If you want to do this while using weapons, I suggest creating a weapon that has your soul and blood." Victor returned to normal, snapped his fingers, and everything was rebuilt again.
"And now, any questions?" Victor asked with an innocent smile.
The women just remained silent and continued to stare at Victor as if he had grown a second head or something.
"...Honestly, I know I've said this before, but you're a damn monster," Scathach sighed.
"Hey, even for me, it was difficult to create this, okay? It took me several years just to even visualize what I wanted to do," Victor huffed. "Creating something that completely matched me and utilized my new body to the fullest was very challenging."
"The simple fact that you managed to create this is enough to call you a monster. Such a martial art should never exist, not to mention that it can't even be called martial arts anymore," Morgana scoffed. "The scope of ability is ridiculous."
"Hey, that's offensive. You know Rose can destroy mountains with her sword, right?"
"My martial arts just break reality," he smiled satisfactorily. "They're the same thing."
"They're not!" The four women spoke at once.
"For Anna to break reality, she must use an immense amount of energy. You can do this using almost no energy. You're just putting immense pressure on your body. How is that not ridiculous?" Morgana spoke.
"Hmm... Now that you mention it, that's bad, isn't it?"
"Of course!"
"I understand. I must decrease the pressure on my body. The balance between energy, soul, and physicality is essential. What good is a martial art that you can't use all the time? I forgot something so basic," Victor slapped his forehead.
"If anyone else but me were to use this energy, they would die, even if they were dragon gods. What a failure..." Victor began to mutter at a rapid pace.
"..." The women fell completely silent and then looked at Morgana.
"You just gave him an idea to improve?" Haruna asked.
"...I guess...?" Morgana spoke confusedly. "Wait, can this martial art still improve?"
"Of course, it can; martial arts never stop improving. It all depends on the creator's creativity and knowing Victor... These seven arts of the Blood Dragon Primogenitor will become something even more ridiculous in the future," Scathach said.
"This martial art is very versatile. It can not only be used in close combat but also with weapons... If the demonstration he provided as a reference told me anything, it's that this martial art is also compatible with all the powers of the blood dragon," Rose said.
"Just like the dragon that is compatible with everything in existence, he created a martial art that is compatible with everything the dragon learns, huh..." Haruna said.
"These martial arts need to be extremely regulated. We can't let irresponsible people in our family use them," Anna spoke seriously. She didn't understand much of what they said, but she saw enough to know how dangerous this was.
"You don't need to worry about that, Anna; not just anyone can learn this. The basic requirement to learn this is very insane."
"You not only need perfect control of your energy but also perfect control of reality distortion without speaking words," Scathach explained. "To execute the martial arts at their maximum efficiency, you have to constantly control the energy to lightly merge with the defenses of the soul while fighting the enemy."
"The difficulty level of learning this is insane. Currently, only Rose and I have the qualifications to learn this."
Anna looked at Morgana and Haruna.
"She's telling the truth," Haruna nodded. "For me to even consider trying to learn this, I need to practice my control over reality distortion a lot. My control of energy isn't bad, but I still haven't achieved perfect control."
"The same applies to me," Morgana spoke.
"Victor may not have said this specifically, but to even think about learning his martial art, the individual needs to have learned another martial art before, probably mine, since he used mine as a base," Scathach spoke.
When Anna went to say something, she heard Victor saying:
"... Damn it! I forgot to do level 0, too! How can I call it complete martial arts if the entry level is insane! Ugh... I need to create a level 0, where dragons learn how to move their body and improve their control over reality just so I can set the stage for the next level."
Anna and the girls were silent. Anna looked at the girls, and just pointed at Victor, who just got a glimpse of how to improve his martial art.
"...Maybe we should monitor who Victor teaches this," Scathach spoke with a sigh.
As martial arts masters, they knew that what was dangerous was not the movements that Victor taught but rather the control of energy, the control over reality, and the way he used energy to influence the soul.
The final part being the most dangerous because, with any mistake, the person can self-mutilate and die.
Anything involving the soul needs to be properly supervised. After all, they didn't want their daughters and sisters to die because they were too ambitious.
"Let's add the martial arts known as The Seven Arts of the Blood Dragon Primogenitor, at the highest level of secrecy, only if the Emperor, the grandmasters, and the two Empresses agree will the art be taught to our daughters."
"I agree," Scathach spoke.
"I agree," Rose spoke.
"Good, I'll ask Victor's opinion later-." Anna started to speak but stopped when she heard Victor's voice speaking.
"I also agree."
The women looked at him.
"What? I know very well how dangerous this art is, considering I created it." Victor snorted. "We must set the condition that anyone who wants to learn must only practice under the supervision of one of the grandmasters or me personally."
"The punishment for breaking this rule will be complete distancing from me, this is for our daughters. And for strangers, it will be complete exile or erasure of memory."
"The punishment is severe, but it is essential." Anna agreed. She could clearly see the look of terror her daughters would have upon learning of the punishment. After all, being away from their father was worse than dying for them.
"Hmm?" Victor looked at the moon and laughed: "Heh, she woke up."
"Since you guys are here, do you want to train?"
"Yes!" Morgana, Rose, Scathach, and Haruna spoke.
Anna just shook her head no and said: "I will talk to Violet and get everything we discussed ready…"
Victor nodded and then pulled Anna by the waist and kissed her. "Sorry for the trouble."
Anna smiled, "You're not really apologizing."
"Maybe… After all, maybe I do or don't like disturbing my dear wives."
Anna snorted. "Jerk." And she turned around as she disappeared.
Victor laughed, and in the next moment, he snapped his fingers and appeared on the moon again.
"Where were you?"
"I went to get more opponents. After all, you alone are not enough."
Veins popped in Kali's head.
"Who knows, maybe you together will make me use at least my left hand." He said with a shit-eating grin.
Veins popped in the heads of Haruna, Scathach, Morgana, and Rose.
"Okay, this is personal now," Scathach spoke with a sadistic gleam on her face.
"I will teach you not to underestimate your former master."
"Get ready, girls. Let's beat his ass."
"Yes!"
"Fufufufufu." Victor laughed with a sadistic gleam on his face.
