Martial Arts Worlds

"This will be nice!"

Ama said and reached her hands towards the desert and the volcano islands.

They started trembling and slowly started moving towards her, as if they were attracted to her like magnets.

When they were close enough, she pushed forwards with a mighty shout, and the islands shot out towards the snow-covered island.

The three islands were about to collide!

In that moment, Kiernan's eyes shone as he lunged ahead, and with his mighty fist, he punched through the volcano island, causing a massive eruption of lava and rock.

The desert island smashed into the snow island, and both islands started to crumble apart like badly built sandcastles.

Kiernan looked towards Ama and then pointed his right hand at him. He pulled his middle finger back with his thumb and then flicked it towards her.

A burst of wind shot out from his hand and flew towards her like a bullet.

She jumped into the air while the wind bullet smashed into the floating island below her.

With her pulling powers, she moved the forest island higher into the air and then landed safely back on the forest ground.

Kiernan barely grabbed the floating forest island from one of its many roots that was peeking out of its belly.

'She is using her powers pretty smartly. She lifted the island so I wouldn't be able to land on it to have proper footing. Now I am here, dangling, but…'

Kiernan gave a proper kick into the air and propelled himself forward. He landed on the island above, the thick trees surrounding him from all sides.

At that moment, the trees started shaking, and they were all uprooted. They flew straight to the beautiful middle-aged woman, who was standing in the middle of the island.

She stopped the flying trees before they smashed straight into her, and then she wiggled her finger in Kiernan's direction.

"You might be a genius like no other to have already reached my level at such a young age, but you still have plenty to learn.

"There are so many things that you don't even know about Martial Abilities."

Ama Record said.

"…Teach me then, Miss."

Kiernan said.

"I am not Miss. I am a married woman, hehe, but I will teach you."

Ama said with a giggle and then continued:

"Your ability seems like of Conjuration type. Do you know anything actually about that type? Your ability might make it seem that you can only summon this clothing of yours, but Conjuration types are strange.

"They are not usually restricted to just one type of summoning."

"…Is that so? I appreciate that valuable information."

Kiernan said, and at that moment, he waved his hand right, and from his right hand, figures that looked exactly like him started to appear.

A large circle formed around Ama of people that looked perfectly identical to Kiernan, and they were all wearing that Black Qi.

"…Your Martial Ability is actually summoning clones?"

Ama asked in shock.

"Not quite!"

Kiernan said with a smile.

"Mastered Iron Style, Ghost Spring Ultimatum!"

Ama raised her fists in defense, and then, she smirked and spread her arms wide as if she were spreading wings.

"Attraction Pull of the Gentle Woman!"

In that moment, every Kiernan started getting pulled towards her as if she were the center of gravity.

They couldn't resist at all.

'Since I can pull each and every single one of these clones, it must be one of his powers. I thought that it could be his afterimages at first, but this proves that they aren't!

Ama thought confidently to herself.

'I have been studying Black Qi hard and well. I have thought of a few ways I could also use the ability, and one of the ways is like this…'

Kiernan pointed his hand at her, and every afterimage of his did the exact same hand motion.

In that moment, the Black Qi slipped out of their bodies, flew straight at her, and wrapped around her like a blanket.

It tightly wrapped around her, so she turned into a mummy, and she felt herself getting crushed like a soda can.

"Mastered Iron Style, Black Trap."

'…I can't move? I've heard that the strength of one's Martial Ability is highly dependent on the conditioning of one's martial soul.

'I've heard Elves talk about the 'Beauty' of the soul, which determines the quality of one's martial soul and just how pure one's martial arts are.

'I can't do anything against this Black Qi! How pure are his martial arts actually?!'

Ama thought to herself in shock.

There was nothing she could do anymore, as she just couldn't move.

She gritted her teeth and barely managed to open her hands.

In that moment, her eyes started glowing, and her martial soul started spinning faster and faster while it also started making engine-revving noises.

"World Pull of the Majestic Goddess!"

Everything started moving towards her.

The trees and rocks were uprooted, the ground cracked and split open, and the wind howled as it all rushed towards her.

A distance away, the three destroyed islands also started moving to her, and without the protection barrier, even the audience members would be flying straight at her.

Kiernan stomped his feet on the ground to stop himself from also flying at her, and he was truly amazed at her ability.

'Everyone seems to receive abilities that seem godlike, but all I received was this Black Qi conjuration-type power. Is that all that there is?

'I know that some people have gotten rather unlucky with their powers, so did that unluckiness come to me as well?'

Kiernan thought with a frown.

'…What else are you able to do, Black Qi?!'

In that moment, black smoke started rising from Kiernan's body. It wasn't Flow State smoke, but something else.

[Conditions Have Been Met]

[Current: Black Qi - Conjuration-Type]

[Do You Want To Upgrade?]

[Y/N]

'What took you so long, system?'

Kiernan smirked and pressed "Yes" without a second thought.

[Black Qi Upgrading…]

[100%]

[New Ability Unlocked!]

[Black Darkness - Kinetra-Type]

[Black Darkness: Hold the power of darkness in the palm of your hands. The more you use this cursed power, the further in the darkness you will fall]

'…Kinetra? It even upgraded into a completely different type? This is more like it, system. This feels way more like a reward worthy of reincarnation!'

Kiernan said with a grin, excitement glinting in his eyes.
