Max stepped through the swirling mist and into the Void Hall. The interior of the Void Hall wasn’t so single cavernous chamber, nor was it a plain vault lined with treasures and relics as he might have expected.
Instead, it was an endless labyrinth of shimring corridors, their walls constructed from gleaming, translucent crystal that reflected soft waves of blue and silver light. Countless doors and passageways branched off in all directions, each one marked with luminous glyphs, like veins of starlight etched into the surfaces, and faint currents of spiritual power drifted through the air, humming like distant celestial music.
People moved silently through these corridors, their footsteps muffled as though the very air was enchanted. Max could see them vanishing into doorways that seed to ripple like water as they passed through.
He sensed that each chamber hidden behind those doors was cloaked in powerful spatial formations, designed to isolate and seal off what happened within from the outside world. It felt as though he were standing at the center of a living organism, each chamber a pulsing cell radiating unique spiritual energy.
Through a combination of observation and what he picked up from whispered conversations drifting past him, Max quickly learned the true nature of the Void Hall—and his eyes widened with genuine amazent.
Each of the chambers here was specialized, created through a combination of powerful rune formations and unique laws. These chambers were designed so that experts could enter and train specific techniques in an environnt perfectly attuned to the energies and principles of that particular art.
There was a chamber for fist techniques, walls shimring with projections of ancient titans trading thunderous blows. Another chamber was dedicated to sword arts, where ethereal sword lights slashed silently through endless illusory skies.
He glimpsed rooms for spear techniques, staff techniques, bow techniques, body cultivation, footwork arts, elental control, soul arts, and countless others—so for techniques so obscure that Max had never even heard of them.
"This is truly a magical place if it can help people master their techniques like this..." Max muttered under his breath, his voice echoing softly against crystalline walls. The sheer scope and precision of what the Void Hall offered left him slightly breathless. It was no wonder Princess Lyra, and even his friends, had urged him to co here.
Eager to see how effective these chambers really were, Max didn’t hesitate further. He made his way toward one of the branching corridors, guided by glowing runes that pulsed softly as though reacting to his intent. Soon he arrived before a tall archway etched with the symbol of a clenched fist wrapped in roaring dragons and trampling elephants.
He stepped through the shimring doorway and found himself in a vast chamber that seed to stretch infinitely in every direction. Towering illusions of golden dragons and colossal stone elephants fought in titanic clashes, shaking the ground beneath his feet as mountains crumbled and skies split apart in silent displays of overwhelming power.
The pressure in the room was so intense that Max felt his body instinctively tighten, as though preparing for battle.
Standing in the center of the chamber, he took a deep breath and reached into his storage space, withdrawing a thin booklet. He unfurled it carefully, his sharp eyes scanning the elegant calligraphy etched upon its surface.
The title at the top glowed faintly in regal characters: Immorial Dragon Elephant Fist Art.
Max’s eyes flickered as he read the contents. The technique contained three devastating moves:
Dragon Sovereign Sky-Soar Fist, a strike infused with the might of a soaring dragon that unleashed explosive force from the heavens.
Elephant Tyrant Mountain-Crushing Fist, a devastating blow carrying the unstoppable montum of an elephant capable of collapsing entire mountain ranges.
And finally, the ultimate move: Dragon-Elephant World Annihilation Fist, a fusion of draconic ferocity and elephantine power, capable of tearing apart the very fabric of space with a single strike.
Max’s heart began to pound faster as he absorbed every detail written on the scroll. He closed the book, slipped it back into his spatial space, and clenched his fists, eyes glittering with determination.
"Let’s see just how magical this place truly is," he murmured, stepping forward into the swirling illusion of dragons and elephants, ready to unleash his strength and engrave every nuance of the Immorial Dragon Elephant Fist Art into his flesh, bones, and soul.
Max took his stance, his entire form brimming with a fierce tension that seed ready to explode outward at any mont, and with a low shout, he thrust his fist forward.
"Dragon Sovereign Sky-Soar Fist!"
The air bood around his knuckles as his arm blurred in a sharp, upward arc, following the exact path outlined in the technique. It felt as if a coiling dragon surged through his ridians, lending a fierce, spiraling montum to the strike.
Waves of force erupted outward, causing the illusionary dragons in the chamber to roar in resonance, their ethereal bodies responding to the motion of his technique.
Each ti Max executed the punch, he adjusted the angle, the flow of vital essence and mana, the precise shifting of his center of gravity—slowly refining the move until it felt not rely learned but carved into his very bones.
Ti passed with a peculiar slowness, stretching out as if the chamber itself existed in a pocket of distorted reality. Max couldn’t be certain whether it was the powerful formations woven into the Void Hall or simply the imrsive illusions that tricked his senses, but the sensation of progress was real and undeniable.
Every repetition seed to yield more understanding than hours of training outside would have accomplished. His muscles rembered the arc of the punch, the twisting of his waist, the subtle sinking of his stance that anchored the explosive upward force.
But Max didn’t stop there. Without pausing for breath, he shifted seamlessly into the next stance, exhaling a gust of charged air as he swept his right arm backward, gathering invisible montum. His entire body coiled like a steel spring as he slamd his fist forward in a crushing arc.
