Chapter 125

I’m Training Too!

While the kids had definitely been training, it was Chu Shen’s turn as well. Master Ti Wu finally had some time to whip Chu Shen into shape without him being distracted by learning technology or practicing forging. He was certainly not going to let this chance go to waste.

Chu Shen spent the first month practicing the <stellar flame=””> by forging the items to sell at the store. Lucas took over selling items to the hunting store since the fabber could create weapons with inscriptions.

All he needed was Chu Shen to demonstrate an inscription once and for him to be given the necessary materials. If all that was accomplished, then Lucas could make an infinite amount of weapons exactly alike in every way. That was the power of industrialization.

Chu Shen was able to master the first stage of <stellar flame:=”” flame=”” blower=””>  and move onto the second stage, <stellar flame:=”” flame=”” body=””>. This was when one was able to emit flames from any part of their body. Chu Shen was able to do so, though it was tricky trying to heat up ore with your spine.

Chu Shen spent the other 11 months cultivating and whole heartedly training his martial arts to the new stage. Chu Shen was able to completely master the second stages for all of his martial arts in this time. He was able to start on the third stage for them but wasn’t able to actually master it, making him only capable of using the second stage for now. As a matter of fact, the movement technique <comet travels=”” through=””> only had three stages.

Here is a list and description of all the different advancements Chu Shen made with his martial arts.

<stellar flame:=”” flame=”” blower=””> (One can shoot streams of fire from their palms), <stellar flame:=”” flame=”” body=””> (One can emit fire from any part of their body), <stellar flame:=”” sun=”” formation=””> (One forms a miniature Sun with fire).

<comet travels=”” through:=”” booming=”” step=””> (One breaks the sound barrier creating a sonic boom), <comet travels=”” through:=”” dust=”” trail=””> (Dust can be raised from one's pa.s.sage even over solid rock), <comet travels=”” through:=”” vapor=”” trail=””> (One moves so fast that vapor forms behind them from atmospheric water evaporating).

<song of=”” the=”” universe:=”” celestial=”” weapon=””> (One can vibrate their weapon and pa.s.s through body s.h.i.+elds) <song of=”” the=”” universe:=”” solar=”” vibrations=””> (One can vibrate their Qi and cause internal damage), <song of=”” the=”” universe:=”” void=”” vibrations=””> (One can cause the air itself to vibrate, turning it into a devastating weapon).

<stars dance:=”” light=”” step=””> (One can solidify their Qi beneath their feet and create a step in midair), <stars dance:=”” stars=”” light=””> (One can create a bright flash of light and blind their opponent), <stars dance:=”” celestial=”” twin=””> (One can create a reflection of themselves off their Qi).

<cancellation armor:=”” phantom=””> (One can create a translucent appearance of armor around themselves. Amplifies nullification abilities), <cancellation armor:=”” manifest=””> (One can create armor that looks completely real. Amplifies nullification abilities), <cancellation armor:=”” reality=””> (One can create armor out of Qi that exists in reality. Enhances nullification abilities). <universe s.h.i.+eld:=”” phantom=””>, <universe s.h.i.+eld:=”” manifest=””>, <universe s.h.i.+eld:=”” reality=””>. Other than one being a s.h.i.+eld and the other armor, there was no difference in these martial art techniques stages.

Chu Shen may have mastered all these techniques, but using them in combat was different. He had used them against beasts in the forest and sparring but a true life and death fight with a human opponent was different. It was more....intense. Until Chu Shen could use them proficiently in combat, he could really only be considered as having learned the technique and no mastering it yet.

As for cultivation. <voids child=””> had one stage called the <voids child:=”” mortal=”” stage=””>. This would last all the way until one could become a Natural Realm Cultivator. It was impossible for Chu Shen to master the first stage of his cultivation technique right now.

Chu Shen not only practiced his martial arts, he also cultivated as well. Since the kids were constantly hunting magical beasts, beast cores were plenty. Chu Shen actually took half of them for his cultivation and the rest were sold in town. Chu Shen had used hundreds of beast cores to rapidly his cultivation in the past year.

No longer was he a Martial Pract.i.tioner Level 9, or a Peak Rank 3 mage. Instead he was a Martial Army Level 2, the equivalent of a Rank 6 mage. Chu Shen also became a Rank 4 warrior during this time, which delighted Master Ti Wu to no end. Don’t forget his Void King technique though.
