Book 6: Chapter 337: Training (2)
Dyon’s master smiled. Although she could have told Dyon personally about her reasons for all of this, it was much more impactful if he came to understand for himself.
The Florence family technique was only the first step too.
Others might believe that Esmeralda was only bullying her disciple so that Dyon would be prepared for a day where he might not have access to his treasures. But, that was only one of the reasons. The Florence family technique was a great example of the benefits to come.
‘Good. Good.’ Esmeralda felt reassured seeing her treasured disciple enlightened. ‘This way, your training in energy manipulation will become much more meaningful. Unless you take the most difficult path, you’ll have no chance of solving the only flaw in the Florence family technique.’
‘You mean the fact my clones can’t use soul related abilities?’
‘Mm. The divine grade cloning technique you received from that gentleman may not be more valuable than the Florence family technique, but it is definitely the superior cloning method because it has no flaws. The only restrictions on the technique are the materials used to create your clone. The better the materials, the more potential your clone has.
‘However, one could obviously see that if the Florence family technique was ever perfected, it would lord over all cloning techniques in existence. Still, its value even while flawed is easily comparable to a mystic grade technique simply because of the other facets of its abilities.
‘You must remember that the only thing that separates the Florence family technique from other manifestations is the length of time it has existed. Because so many generations of Florence clan members have meditated upon the truths of this manifestation, it’s reached the level you see today.
‘That said, just like other manifestations, it is up to wielder to seek out the path of perfection. This is your first step. I dare to say that if you ever leap over this hurdle, you’ll become a one-man army.’
Dyon’s eyes glowed as he listened to his master. It really did feel much better this way, instead of stumbling around alone.
‘Now, the matter of energy manipulation…’
Dyon’s master explained the aspects of energy manipulation meticulously for more than half a day.
In that time, Dyon had progressed less than 10% of the way through the first tier. Luckily, because he had the Energy Core and the fact this Mystical world was filled with such a dense concentration of soul energy, he felt just as refreshed as he had when he first stepped in.
During this half day, Dyon was forced to replace the clone he left in the outside world many times. But, he could tell that he was about to leave his range soon, so he had no choice but to give over command to Violet’s father.
He also told the former Master that his two-month promise would have to be extended to one year. But, he was very understanding after Dyon explained his reasons why.
As a side note, it seemed that Marco’s long-time friend, Aldo, and his son were still in Soul Rend Quadrant, staying with the former Master. Dyon wasn’t too worried about them since he had forced them all to sign contracts, but he did think that that was worthy of note.

For the next few weeks, Dyon fell into a monotonous cycle of training.
His first step was to ‘re-cultivate’ his wills from the first will level to achieve the level of control his master wanted from him. The good news was that his soul was so powerful that those steps seemed to go quickly. Still, controlling 9999 clones while exhausting his stamina was taxing, which was perfectly in line with Dyon’s Master’s third phase of the plan: to solidify his soul cultivation. As for the second phase, it was left to the side for now.
Dyon sweated profusely atop the golden dragon, surrounded by his clones that fought off bestial birds that tried to attack him.
His torso was bare, but brimming with power.
Suddenly, Dyon roared.
A mighty music will of the sovereign path erupted from his chest, booming outward and causing the bird beasts to tremble in fear, making them easy targets for his clones.
The scene was magical. The level of music will Dyon used, despite having comprehension to the 1st intent level, was only of the 5th will level. However, the vibrations in the air made it seem that this music will was as powerful as a 9th level will!
This was a combination of two energy manipulation techniques Dyon labored over.
The first was of the vibration path. There were many vibrational type energy manipulation techniques. Some were defensive and required the user to use the frequency of their energy to cancel out that of another, but others were like what Dyon just used: offensive.
This particular energy manipulation technique was known as [Rapid Change]. By quickly alternating between low and high frequencies of energy, the power of a strike was multiplied many times over. This erratic form of energy was incredibly difficult to control and often caused damage to one’s meridians. However, Dyon was applying it to his wills and not his conventional energy, so it was even more dangerous, putting the soul in harm’s way.
Still, Dyon stacked a second type of energy manipulation technique deviating from the vibrational type known as the granular path.
The epitome of this path was being able to control one’s energy to the atomic level. Obviously, Dyon was nowhere near this level. However, it was because of this granular control type technique that he was able to roar yet not effect his clones at all.
This technique was known as [Striking Chain].
