Chapter 164 Power leveling 8 (1/2)

*bang*

Mars flew across the cave and was once again embedded into the wall, but he quickly dug himself out and gave a sigh before he spoke

”ouch... mother you really don't know how to hold back do you?”

”hmm..? did you say something Mars?”

”...no”

”oh it's just I thought I heard a dog whine, must be my age”

Mars' face cramped slightly this new mother of his really didn't know how to hold back

”well if you're tired, let's go on to the next part come here Mars”

Mars walked over slightly on guard, who knew what the so called next part was and what kind of 'training' was part of it?

”I'm ready”

”good, then hit me”

”....sure”

Mars took a stance and raised his arms with his feet slightly apart and his left foot slightly behind the right one, or in other words a traditional boxer stance before he sent out a jab targeting his mother's chin with lightning speed

*BANG*

”what...?”

what had looked like normal skin had transformed into bright red scales, but that was not what surprised Mars, the force of his punch had completely dispersed, but before he had a chance to figure out anything his mother spoke

”good now it's your turn”

”wait a moment please mother, can't you at least tell me what you did first?”

Mars' mother gave a sigh before she spoke

”I simply activated the scales... so far your scales have been inactive, now you have to activate them so they become shock absorbent”

”...and how do I do that?”

”I don't know”

”...”

”don't look at me like that... I really don't, nobody taught me this”

”so how am I supposed to figure it out?”

”...well you'll just have to figure it out by feeling I guess?”

”then I need to punch you again, you know just to better figure it out”

”...fine”

Mars gave a sigh and once again took a stance and punched out, this time all his feeling was on his knuckles and as they made contact with his mother's jaw he faintly felt something and quickly pulled his hand back as he fell into deep thought before he looked up at his mother and gave a nod

”try to punch me now”

”sure”

*BANG*

Mars was once again sent flying but when he dug himself out of the wall he had a smile on his face

”I figured it out mother”

”oh really?”

”yeah its vibrations that's the key”

”vibrations?”

”yeah by vibrating the scales in a specific way you eliminate the incoming force”

his mother gave a nod

”I see then why didn't you do it before?”

”I did, look I was not knocked very deeply into the wall this time”

”oh... well I expected nothing less from my Mars”

Mars looked at his mother gloating and gave a sigh before he walked over and stood in front of her again

”one more time mother”

”okay here we go”

*BANG*

time passed in this way and soon about a day passed, Mars stood in front of his mother that punched him again and again, but let alone being sent flying Mars didn't even take a step back as he took the punches

”I think we can move on to the next thing now mother”

”yeah I'm getting tired of punching you... I mean it was kind of fun when you went flying every time but now it's just boring...”

Mars' face once again cramped slightly this mother of his really was...

'well whatever...'

Mars gave a sigh while his mother was in deep thought and mumbled

”hmm... then let's go with your claws next...”

”my claws?”

”yes, try to use them”

”okay...?”

Mars transformed his hands and quickly his claws grew out to about 15 centimeters in length

”good, now watch closely...”

his mother also grew out her claws which also was about 15 centimeters in length, suddenly they began glowing slightly and Mars felt an immense amount of heat being given off from his mother's claws, but was a little confused about what good having slightly hot claws could do
