Firestream Fist

Garen Garen found this technique along with three others in the White Cloud Gate's secret library. In the form of four books:

Flame Fist, Iron Body, Dark Iron Palm and Lark Blade.

Those Secret Martial Arts were common and almost all the Dojos had them. They were usually taught to the normal disciples, but the White Cloud Gate had the Explosive Fist Arts as the basic and the four low-level Secret Martial Arts were just kept in the library as part of the collection.

The four Secret Martial Arts were very similar to the Red Hand Fist Garen encountered before. They could not be put into skill combos, and it would take him a very long time to master them, so the benefit wouldn’t justify the cost.

Although they were put in the library, disciples read them just for fun. Secret Martial Arts like the four could be found anywhere, and they were just like the Iron Tunic that was in almost all the martial arts novels.

All of them required a lot of time for one to master. Disciples needed to spend at least five to seven years on the Level One Mastery of those arts. Even more so, Flame Fist required eight years for the Level One Mastery. It had four levels in total, and the required time doubled for each level, which meant it would take 64 years for one to finish the last one.

*"One won’t become any stronger if he can’t master one Secret Martial Art before the age of 25. No one is going to spend 120 years to master the Flame Fist. No wonder no one touches these low-level Secret Martial Arts…"*

Garen combines this secret technique and Dark Iron Palm to create the new secret variant/mutation technique the Dark Crimson Technique.

## Overview

Also know as **Flame Fist.** The **Flame Fist**, which was different from the other ones of the group. Garen could feel the actual effect of the skill, but the feeling was weak, and Iron Body progressed much faster.

## After finding the missing part

The missing part of the training that Garen found in the Pink-eyed Royal General's notebooks:

'**38. Firestream Fist:** A Secret Martial Art that is relatively more time-consuming. Practice needs to be complemented with hot iron sand. Strike and stab fists into a basin of iron sand in the initial stage, which can later be replaced with real charcoals. See illustration for specific training method.' On the back were a few clearly drawn illustrations for practice methods and stages. It covered every stage of practice for Firestream Fist.

"Well, let me see what the Firestream Fist can do." He asked the guards to bring him the equipment for practicing the Firestream Fist. It was a whole basin of black iron sand and the basin was placed above a large pot of burning charcoal. Garen stood in front of the basin and rolled up his sleeves.

"The Mammoth Secret Technique can be combined with the Iron Body, but I’m not sure if the Dark Iron Palm can be combined with the Firestream Fist. I hope I still have some Attribute Points left. If I do, I’ll be able to level them up to the highest level!" Garen shook his head and stopped thinking. He quickly put his hands into the sizzling sand and then immediately took them out. Garen kept repeating this process.

He also used the special breathing and blood circulation methods from the Firestream Fist technique to ensure that the blood flow in his body was correct.

Garen’s hands slowly turned reddish. Although he reached the master level of body hardening techniques, his hands were still burning after constantly contacting the heated sand. His skin had turned black due to the Dark Iron Palm and the resulting dark red color looked like rust.

The size of his hands doubled and dense maroon patterns slowly rose from the skin of his hands. He could feel the heat from his hands and a chill rushed down to them from his brain. This chill started to slowly neutralize the heat from the iron sand.

Garen closed his eyes and stared at the skill bar. After a while, changes appeared to the row with the Firestream Fist. The text became blurry: **"Firestream Fist: Beginner Level (Four levels in total)."**

Another change appeared on the skill bar after he reached the beginner level of the Firestream Fist. The Firestream Fist and Dark Iron Palm’s text became blurry at the same time.

"I knew it! The Firestream Fist and Dark Iron Palm were all Secret Techniques that train people’s hands. Learning them together will create a new combination, just like the time I trained the Iron Body and Boulder Martial Art!" Garen stared at the changes with excitement. This was the reason why he had decided to learn these two Secret Techniques first.

The Firestream Fist and Dark Iron Palm disappeared from the skill bar simultaneously and were replaced by a new skill.
