Chapter 3 - Breakthrough (1/2)

After managing to get home without getting into a fight with Andrew and his group, josh brought out the ginseng he had bought from the market. Staring at the ginseng in his hand, Jason couldn't help but smile as he mutters to himself.

” with all this, breaking throw the 2nd laying shouldn't be a problem for me ”

” big brother, you are finally back,” said Hannah as she walks into the hut and sees Jason standing with his back facing her.

” yes Hannah I am back, where is mother,”asked Jason as he could not find his mother.

” don't know, maybe she went to get some money from that elder in the fox family” replied Hannah as she lowers her head trying not to look at his brother in the eye.

” what is it that is making you look for me like I am still a kid that needs to be taken care of,” said Clara as she makes her way into the hut.

” you are back mother, look what I got from the market” replied Jason as he shows his mother the ginseng he has brought from the market.

” good, now that you have acquired the ginseng, all that is left for you to do is brew it before using it after going through intense training only through this way will you be able to utilize the full potential of the medicine,” said Clara.

” Okay mother, I am going to brew it right now” replied Jason before taking his leave.

” big brother wait for me,” said Hannah as she went after him.

Very early in the morning, while others are still asleep, Jason was busy with his training as he holds onto a tree branch that was not too far from their tent and begins to pull himself up before going down while at the same counting the number of time he has pulled himself up. Since they don't have money to afford pills that will be beneficial to his training, his mother told him to train his body diligently via doing somebody exercise which would help strengthen his body a lot.

” 320,” said Jason as he pulled himself up with difficulty as he grits his teeth together, with sweat dripping from his body.

Jason was already approaching his limit but he still doesn't want to let go, since he wanted to get stronger, something like this shouldn't be holding him back, these were the words that stood as he motivation to him as he preserved and continued with his pull up to the extent that his arms begin to go numb.

Jason continued until the sun begins to shine bright and by then he has already done 450 pulls ups and he is still going. Continuing with his exercise even when he is completely exhausted.

” only when I force my body will i be able to achieve a breakthrough,” said Jason to himself as he continues with his exercise.

As he was still struggling with his pull up even when he was out of strength, Jason suddenly felt a strong heat rushing from within his body as the tiredness and pain he was feeling previously were suddenly replaced by invigorating energy.

Holding onto the tree branch tightly, Jason swings himself forward with force before letting go of the branch as he performs a somersault before landing steadily on the ground, to his surprise, his body has grown a little tougher.

” clap clap clap” the sound of hands hit each other came from not too far from where he was training, turning around to see who it was but to his surprise it was Hannah who was clapping merrily.
