Complete Control

KJ: Will you take the oath or not. Depending on your deeds you'll be able to learn more

Dragon: I have no other choice. I.... The Golden Ancestral Dragon, Bei Shi, will be forever loyal to the man before me. If I every carry any bad intentions or betray my Master may my soul shatter into a thousand pieces... never to be recollected

Golden light enveloped both the Dragon and KJ as it glowed briefly before going out. The Dragon spoke out in a much more calm tone. "What is your reasoning for meeting with me so soon? Do you require my assistance Master?"

KJ was communicating with the Dragon within his mind. He used a miniature version of himself that he envisioned within his mind to speak with the Dragon. KJ walked up to the Dragon and removed the shackles restraining its large glorious body.

ROOOOOOAAAAAAAR

The Golden Dragon roared in excitement and wriggled its body. "Ohhhh it feels good to be free. Thank you for this gift Master."

KJ: It's hardly a gift... it is the least you deserve for your loyalty. You understand your position and you changed your attitude quickly, you're smart. I won't mistreat you, gifts will be the least of your worries. I promise to bring you a physical body to use

Golden Dragon: I have no choice but to have faith in you. I will use any means to help your growth

KJ: Regarding The Golden Scrolls, I will require your help. I have chosen that the Thunder Point Strike will be the technique that I will follow in order to enter the Spirit Connection Realm.

Golden Dragon: The Golden Scrolls are Divine Tier Techniques... are you sure you want to cultivate this one?

KJ: Yes. I have other plans regarding other sources of power but first I need to focus on Thunder. It's the most accessible at the moment and you're the most perfect teacher. To learn a certain element someone must practice a technique. In order to learn this technique, they must let someone stronger send their spiritual energy in the person trying to breakthrough. The person must guide this power and try to take hold of it and execute the technique. Once the technique is mastered you should be in the Spirit Connection Realm. I plan on entering using the Thunder Point Strike

KJ memorized the scrolls already. He revised the contents of the 1st scroll and got into a horse stance. He brought his fingers together and stuck his hand straight out. He did this with both his hand and brought them to his hips. His palms still open facing in front of him. He rotated his palm as he sent out every thrust. Each time he switched hand. An unknown amount of time went by. It could have been a month's time.

Each time the Dragon jolted KJ with lightning spiritual energy he felt a painful shock throughout his body. He would be getting cooked from the insides if Alfin didn't help temper his skin to spiritual energy beforehand. KJ had to guide the spiritual energy with his motion and time it perfectly in order to redirect it out of his body and create physical lightning.

2 months had now passed. KJ only took breaks when he was either too exhausted or couldn't bare the injuries. "The stance feels effortless now. I feel as if I'm getting closer day by day. Soon enough….. I will break into the Spirit Connection Realm."

Dragon: You're truly a monster. Even in the time of the Gods, a top genius would take at least 3 months to get this far but you've done it in 2 months. How could the New Age spit out someone as terrifying as you

KJ: Don't speak too much, I need to focus

...........................…

At this point, about 4 months have passed since KJ went into secluded training. Kabal and Raiju were beer-bellied as they were throwing back beer and laughing jollily. They seemed to indeed grow much closer, Raiju taught Kabal things and Kabal taught Raiju things as well. Kabal's skin seemed to be much more elastic and robust. His skin looked to be thicker, healthier and stronger. Raiju on the other hand somehow grew bigger. The small muscles that he didn't really work out were now on full display. It helped fill him out and his muscles were clearly swelling with newfound power.
