East Meet West

Chapter 151: Encounter 2

151- Encounter 2

[Author's Note: Hi, readers. I know I have been barely uploading or publishing chapters in recent days, so I would like to give a proper explanation to you.

The first reason, I am also a reader like you and after reading more than dozen novels, I picked up the idea of publishing my own work. So, after I started this work, I stopped reading other novels, and I got back to reading manga, as I let the chapters stack up. 2-3 years ago, I got introduced to the Manga genre such as Martial Arts, Fantasy, System, Wuxia, Xian Xia, cultivation, RPG, etc. But as I read mangas, I found they were incomplete and the rate of publishing was slow. So, every week I would pick a new manga and due to lack of chapters, I would keep that manga aside and read the next one. So, after bearing with this situation for 10-12 months, and also due to few stories possessing extremely good storyline, I could not control myself and I found that the stories have both manga and novel version. So, when I read the full novel, I moved onto the next... So, for almost 13-15 months, I was immersed in reading novels. So, in this period, lots of manga chapters got stacked up and at the same time, I had picked up the idea of writing my own work. So, while I was writing new chapters, I also read mangas. But as I started writing, I realized the mistakes that I made and the things that I am not able to include in my work, are making my work look shabby.

So, I decided to get back to reading novels and get some ideas and details that make readers like me and you, interested in the chapters. So, I agree that in the beginning, the chapters were immature, but as the story progresses, I will try to improve the content and of course, try to make the story different from the others.

Second, last month, I got lots of inspiration for 2 novel works and inspirations are like dreams, which can disappear in the blink of an eye. And as much as one can try to remember, but would be close to impossible. So, for few days, I was engrossed in creating and writing down all the ideas that I was getting, so that when I start writing new works, I can refer to them and make the stories more interesting. And from the experience that I gained in this work; I can make my new novels without errors. So, for those who like my work and are interested, I will start working on them soon, but of course, I will first stack up at least 100 chapters of [East Meets West] and then, I will work on the new novels and try to write at least 100-150 chapters before I bring them to you. So, that I can focus on both the works.

Third, like I said, that to gain ideas and guidance, I got back to reading novels, I picked up a novel called [!!!!], I am not going to mention that novels name due to all the reasons you could think of. So, after I started reading this novel, I was immersed in it and made note of all the important points that could help my work to develop. But like any reader, I wanted to read the novels end, but unfortunately, the author dropped his work due to contract issues and I got frustrated. So, I picked up another novel, which was surprisingly good and I was not able to write more chapters, and today I have finished reading that novel, so I am getting back to writing. And will soon start updating more chapters.]

[Third Person View]

Dont come closer, if you anything to speak, you can speak from there.

Orochi shouted.

Ethan Wolker, the Senior brother stopped walking and there were fluctuations within in his eyes, but he tried to cover it up and said,

Please dont be vigilant, we dont mean any harm. I just wanted to ask for some... advice...

Before Ethan Wolker finished his sentence, he attacked Orochi.

His speed was quick, almost blurred if viewed with naked eyes.

As expected from a Humans stage cultivator, the speed is almost equal to me.

Thought, Orochi inwardly.

Orochi, who was ready and knew Ethans intentions due to the ability Perception and Intuition, immediately reacted as soon as Ethan Wolker made his move.

Orochi activated the Sprint skill and approached Ethan.

Ethan was surprised by Orochis speed but he did not panic.

As they got closer, Ethan used one of his fist techniques,

Iron bull Punch.

His hands were covered with spiritual qi.

Seeing this, Orochi knew that he also had to use full power or else he could get seriously hurt.

He disabled the Locking stats function, such that Orochi was able to use all the stats with 100% efficiency and he also used a fist technique,

Stone Breaking Fist

Boom

Soon both the fists collided and the sound of an explosion sounded and both, Ethan and Orochi were pushed back.

Ethan was pushed back by 10 steps and Orochi was pushed back by 8 steps.

Both of them were shocked.

Ethan was shocked because, he feels that his opponent [Orochi], has not yet stepped into the Human stage of the Transformation realm, so he considered that his opponent would at most be the peak of the Demi-human stage, just like the two, junior brother and sister following him. And he is a Human stage cultivator, so getting pushed back made him feel like an illusion. Especially the fact that he got pushed back by 10 steps and his opponent only 8 steps. He is wondering if his mind is playing tricks with him. He almost used 70% of his strength in that punch.

And Orochi was shocked because he used almost 80% of his total strength in that punch but he was just able to overwhelm his opponent by only a small degree and also the collision made his arm numb. This small exchange brought back Orochi to reality. He always felt that with his power, he could fight against Human stage cultivators. But now, he realized that due to lack of proper knowledge on the Human stage, he misjudged many things about that stage got overconfident due to high stats. And now only after taking out his cards can he have a chance to fight on equal terms.

The difference between the Demi-Human stage and Human stage cultivators is that they are able to manifest spiritual qi out of the body, which can multiply their strength by a great degree. While the Demi-Human cannot do that. And on top of that Orochi, is still at the peak of the Evolver stage and has not yet broken through into the Demi-Human stage.

And on top of that, the cultivators with different realms such as the Mortal realm, Transformation realm, and the Royalty realm, have realm based fighting techniques and cultivation methods.

Mortal realm based fighting techniques and cultivation methods belong to the Normal grade which is further divided into 12 levels.

And each level of fighting technique and cultivation methods have a restriction or in simple words- only after reaching a certain cultivation realm can a person use it properly.

For example:-

Normal Grade Level 1 & 2- These levels of fighting techniques can only be used by those who have cultivation equal to or below the Awakening stage. And the cultivation methods of these levels are only useful for mortals to build some strength and maintain a healthy life.

Normal Grade Level 3 & 4- These levels of fighting techniques and cultivation methods are only for those who have reached the Beginning stage. The fighting techniques of these levels use the qi produced by the body which delivers greater power when performed. As for the cultivation technique, it is used to enhance and gather qi. The [8 levels of Qi refining] is a [Normal Grade Level 4] method and comes under the best method in the same level category.

Normal Grade Level 4 & 6- These levels of fighting techniques and cultivation methods are only for those who have reached the Refinement stage. Here since the persons parts are strengthened, the body will be able to handle fighting techniques that use vigorous qi. The [Qi bombing technique] is a [Normal Grade Level 6] method and comes under the best method in the same level category

Normal Grade Level 7 & 8- These levels of fighting techniques are only for those who have reached the Evolver stage. These have been made in such a way that the cultivator is able to use a fraction of elemental power when using the fighting technique. The Stone breaking fist is a [Normal grade level 8] fist technique, that I had learned while I was in the Gurukul school.

Normal Grade Level 9-12 These levels of fighting techniques are only for those who have reached the Demi-Human stage. The techniques have the ability to utilize the spiritual qi, but only a little amount. But it is enough to display great power when compared to previous ones. Unfortunately, as I did not reach the Demi-Human stage, I was not able to learn these techniques.

And the Red grade and above, based cultivation methods are for those who have reached the transformation and above level.

And clearly, the fist technique used by the opponent belongs to the Red grade fist technique.
