I created my own system

Chapter 72 I'll train

My pov again

I decided to stop upgrading my skills and stats.

Instead, I like to train my proficiency in them. I believe what that professor told me was right. And in my current situation, it is the best I could do.

Soon my opponent will be more experienced and have higher stats than me. I might have won against my previous opponent due to being superior in overall stats. However, if I encounter someone with a higher or the same stats as me, the battle might end up the same as the one I have with professor Adolfo.

"We should work hard"

[Yes We will Creator]

I am back in the backyard again training before the sun sets.

I stretched my body and I could feel the bruises I received from my favorite professor's hell deluxe training.

[Swimming with weights pulling you weren't really that bad]

It wasn't that bad?

I had sealers that sealed all my stats I can't even use ki or mana because it was sealed as well.

[Aren't you at least happy you survived?

Typical humans would have died from something like that]

"Should I really be glad because of that?"

[Not all people can survive with their abilities and skills taken away. The Creator was impressive since he was able to utilize the little things he had at that time]

"Are you telling me that I am impressive for floating away instead of naturally swimming "

[Yes, since floating while wearing weights, depends on the buoyancy of the weights and the swimmer's body composition. The added weight may affect buoyancy, making it more challenging to stay afloat compared to swimming without weights. However, with the Creator's proper breathing techniques and body positioning, you were able to maintain buoyancy while floating with weights on]

"Thanks I suddenly felt happy that someone was complimenting my actions"

[I will always appreciate whatever you do Creator]

"Thanks"

I suddenly felt happy, I never anticipated that an artificial intelligence made from me could be this sentimental.

Wait since he is based on me does this mean I am talking to myself?

I shake my head putting those thoughts away.

My swordplay and martial arts should be properly trained.

"Alright Jeremiah run the shadow opponent now"

I said finally forming my stance.

[Initiating Shadow opponent...

Prepare for contact...]

In my eyes, a black entity forms in the shape of a man holding a sword. However this shadow is only visible to me, others can only see me moving as if I was really fighting someone.

"Okay stay calm"

I lunged forward using my speed to my advantage but to my surprise, an equivalent speed intercepted my attack. I put more precision into my attacks. Maximize my strikes without consuming much energy.

However...

"Argh!"

I was pushed back, and my hand went numb barely holding the wooden sword. Even though it was a mere shadow it was capable of executing the exact same attacks and power as the original.

If you guys are wondering to whom the shadow came from it's none other than my lunatic professor, professor Adolfo.

During our little sparring session, I was able to use the data I had gathered from my calculations during the fight. From the first clash of weapons to the ending strike all were well recorded.

That is why I am using my professor's shadow as my sparring buddy.

[It's unfortunate that the data is insufficient to fully copy his sword technique]

"He only showed me a fraction of the technique that is why we couldn't fully implement the copy" I said while I sat down.

The shadow disappeared since I cancelled it since I found my problem.

"I need to change my approach, it is not working"

[I have scanned your professor's body while he was sparring with you, should I implement the flow of his energy inside your body?]

"Wait you scan him?"

[You program me in order to assist you in your every fight, that is why I only did my job]

"Impressive, okay let us try"

I stood up and let Jeremiah do the thing he needed to do.

A warm sensation circulated through my veins and without me knowing, I started moving my body the same way as professor Adolfo did. My sword although made out of wood began to cut through the air. A compressed air pressure was made through my weapon.

I gasp feeling the sensation. Every drop was controlled, and not a single energy was wasted. A concentrated type of energy that could fuel an attack, a strike capable of turning the tables of a fight.

"Hoo.." I stopped, trying to remember the sensation that previously penetrated my body. I need to remember how it felt, the way my energy moved and how my body went with it. I want to instil all of those in my memory.

"Focused"

I said to myself.

"DRIP!"

I tried to imagine a water flowing, from the fast gushing falls to a controlled drop. I then visualize that drop as my energy, sometimes even a drop suffices and can fuel my attacks.

"DRIP!"

It was a drop, I told to myself.

I tried to meditate not letting any sound hinder my concentration. And soon only the flow of energy fills my senses.

"Okay," I said finally opening my eyes.

Let's try it again, I stood and fixed my stance.

I wave my wooden sword and let my skill Master weaponist take over. I wanted to adapt the way of control that my professor used on my own skills.

"It is still lacking"

[But you have improved a bit]

"I suppose so"

I changed my weapon and used a spear instead.

Master Weaponist is a combination of weapon arts made by Jeremiah. It is not a sword technique or any weapon art similar to those used by experts. It was just a gathering of basic techniques from different weapon styles.

The skill Master weaponist only enables me to handle multiple weapons. It doesn't include the complicated structure of ki and mana manipulation like the one used by experts.

Since I was a mage I only added this skill to strengthen my body. It was just a mere exercise but now, maybe I should take this skill seriously.

"Jeremiah let's overhaul Master Weaponist and add the necessary format for it to be considered a weapon art"

[Affirmative Creator]

And so I began testing weapon by weapon, trying to come up with the style that suited me.

[Congratulations Creator the overhaul is completed!

Proceed to skill test drive?]

"Yes"

I closed my eyes and remained focused. My ears are filled with the drifting air and rustling leaves. Then as the sound of their fall reaches my ears I finally move.

My ki accelerated going full course through my veins. From my heart to my limps it began to travel.

"DRIP!"

I visualize my ki being a drop of water. Read further adventures at m vl_em|p_yr

Then I made the strike, dust was kicked away while the wind followed the path of my blade.

"Change weapon"

[Affirmative]

My inventory is open and a spear replaces my sword. From a sword that strikes like a lion, it delivers powerful, agile and precise blows, then to a spear that seems like a raging eagle. A spear that is known for its ability to strike from a distance with accuracy and speed, mimicking the way an eagle dives down to catch its prey. A fast thrust through defenses with force and great momentum.

I move trying to handle the weapon with mastery. A spear is designed to penetrate an opponent's defenses. So each thrust I made, made the air break.

"Change weapon"

Again my weapon disappeared and my hand began to hold a bow. A different kind of flow of energy made its way through my body. My eyes became clearer while my fingers tensed.

The ki was drawn on my fingers drawing the bowstring and the hand that holds the bow. As I pulled the arrow I quickly shifted the weight of my body as well as the ki that I used. The arrow was released, and the energy stored in the drawn bowstring propels the arrow forward.

At this moment, the weight on my fingers decreases rapidly, transferring to the arrow itself as it accelerates.

"Bullseye," I said when I saw my arrow hit my target.

[Are we going for a change of weapon again?]

"No, for now, let's rest"

As soon as I release that arrow the tension in my body accelerates making me more tired than usual.

[This technique forces too much pressure on your body]

Hearing that made me tempted to increase my stats but I immediately pulled those thoughts away.

"My body should quickly adapt if I constantly trained"

[We should also study or revise how your ki travels, that way the transition of how your ki moves in using a sword and spear could run smoothly. That way your body won't receive too much stress]

"Right we should do that"

[For now, we could say that the test drive was successful]

"Yes I can conclude it was successful"
