Chapter 153: Palm of the Sun (2/2)

”This is quite good. Hmm… will my body affect it at all?” he wondered. It didn't take him long to learn the technique, so he started practicing it immediately.

It didn't take him long to realize that the palm strike was as strong if not stronger than the fist. ”Hmm… does this mean that I have something too that is making the fist strong?” he wondered, but couldn't think of any answer even though he had a big suspicion that it had something to do with the blood essence.

After an hour of training the palm, he started to get bored. He had done the same training for the last week or so and he didn't want to do that either. ”What do I do now?” he thought.

He so desperately wished to make some pills right now, but there was no fire.

”Hmm… the books did say that beast companions needed no training for fights, but it can't hurt to try, right?” he thought as he called pearl out.

”Meow,” Pearl looked around and realized he was in the same familiar place as yesterday. He immediately started to lay down and meditate as that was what Alex had been asking for him every time he was called out.

”Wait, no.” Alex's heart skipped a beat as he immediately stopped Pearl from cultivating. ”We are going to practice fighting today buddy.”

Alex brought Pearl to the center of the training hall and proceeded to train him. ”Alright, bub. Come attack me.”

”Meow,” Pearl tilted his head in confusion as he didn't understand what Alex meant exactly. Alex gestured by punching himself in his own arm. ”Come hit me here with your hands.”

Pearl finally understood what Alex meant and suddenly, jumped towards him to attack.

BAM

Or so Alex expected to hear. But what he heard was just a small 'pat' sound on his arm. He barely even felt anything. ”Are you weak? Or am I just too strong now?” he wondered and asked.

He decided to check Pearl's status.

”Oh, you already reached Muscle Tempering realm? That is very fast. As fast, if not faster than why I cultivate normally. Are you stealing Qi from me by any chance?' Alex jokingly asked. And then, he noticed something weird. ”Wait a second…” Alex was surprised. ”Is your cultivation realm the same as my body cultivation realm?”
