Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 11: 11. Decision

After that, they visited other places in the sect, and Kai decided to leave the sect since there was nothing interesting there.

They continued to visit other famous places in the Dragon Empire for about a month and Kai decided to end the trip.

"Dad, let's go home. I want to start training," Kai suddenly said this to Alex.

Kai also wanted to enjoy the trip very much, but ever since he saw the training facilities in the Slaughter Palace, especially the Refining Tower, he felt a sense of urgency.

If a saint-tier sect has this much resource, then how much resource can a supreme and emperor-tier sect and their families have?

Kai has to face them in the battle of destiny because they are going to compete for the single spot in this generation to become emperor. So everyone in the same generation will compete for the throne of destiny to become the emperor.

'I had to work hard if I ever wanted to defeat them.' thought Kai.

"Kai, don't worry about the battle of destiny so much. After you complete my training, you will have the foundation to even compete with the genius in the emperor tier family." Alex said in a confident tone and understood the urgency in Kai's heart.

"Dad, are you saying the truth?" Kai asked the question because the emperor-tier family or sect will have more resources than Alex.

"Yeah, but that is only for the first two realms."

Kai was very happy after hearing his father's answer, even though it was only for the first two realms. He already had a plan for the third realm, but he didn't have any idea on how to make the foundation stronger other than using the Qi in the secret realm to make it very pure.

'But if what my father said is true, then combined with my idea, I can definitely make myself the strongest foundation.' thought Kai.

"Okay, let's go to our secret realm. We will begin our training there."

"Okay, dad," Kai replied, and he started walking towards the secret realm. After reaching the secret realm, they found a large, empty space that was suitable for training.

"Kai, we will first start with training your body. The body is the foundation of everything, and a stronger body will bring you many advantages. From now on, you will need to wear these weights all the time." Alex said and he took some bracelets and ankets that were made of iron.

"Dad, how did you take them out of thin air?" Kai asked doubtfully.

"It was by using this ring. It is called a storage ring, and it has a very big internal space that can be used to store non-living things. Don't worry, I will make you one after you start cultivating."

"Dad, do you really know how to make a storage ring?" Kai asked because Alex didn't look like he was capable of making this thing.

"Hey brat, did you forget that I am a blacksmith and making this ring isn't that hard? Now start to wear these bracelets and ankets in your body."

Then Kai wore the weights as he told, and it was uncomfortable because, with the weight in both hands and legs, making it harder for him stand properly.

"Kai, now you need to adapt your body to these weights, and after that, we will begin our training now." Alex revealed the purpose of bracelets and ankets.

"Dad, do I need to start my training with an extra load on me?" Kai asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, it was the purpose of training, and now let's start with the endurance training. Start running around this space until you can't run anymore."

Without asking any questions, Kai started to run. After 10 laps, he was out of breath, but it was not the true limit, so he continued to run. Kai reached his true limit on the 22nd lap and had to rest because he couldn't run anymore.

"Now start doing push-ups until you reach the limit." Alex ordered him after enough rest.

Then Kai did the push-ups until he reached the limit. He did a total of 230 pushups because most of the weight didn't affect this exercise.

"Now start the squats."

Then Kai did the squats to the limit and had to rest for an hour because his body started to ache.

"Now that it is the last exercise, do a pullup until you reach the limit."

After completing all the exercises, he just laid down on the grass and closed his eyes for a quick nap.

The humans in this world are stronger than Earth because of the presence of Qi; they can do a lot of exercise, and their recovery speed is also very high because of the Qi present in the air. The secret realm also contributed a lot to his recovery.

Riya also visited them daily and made food with beast meat for Kai. Because he is doing high-intensity exercise, she prepared the food with Tier 3 beasts.

The beasts are divided into Tiers one through six and correspond to the major realms. The meat of Tier 3 beasts is very helpful for him if eaten in small amounts.

So, Riya always gave him meat once a week. The meat prevents Kai from damaging his body and keeps the training going without any danger.

Kai continued to do this exercise for three months under his father's guidance.

"Kai, now let's stop doing the exercise. Your body has already developed to the limits of the mortal, and if you further want to increase, it will take a lot of time."

What Alex said was correct; Kai could already feel that his body stopped developing like it grown for the past 3 months.

'Now that I have reached the limit, I should start doing the combat training.' thought Kai.

"What weapon do you want to choose?" Alex questioned since it was an important choice.

"I chose the sword, dad" Kai replied, because he always had a keen interest in swords, and a sword is the romance of every man.

"A sword is a very versatile weapon, so it is a good choice, and I also use a sword as my weapon, so I can teach you better."

"Now, you can read the book." He took an old and damaged book and handed it to Kai.

[Nameless Scripture] is the title of the book. After reading the entire book, Kai was amazed by its profoundness. The book only talks about the basis of sword fighting and the basis of footwork, but its applications are on a whole another dimension.

"Dad, how did you get this kind of book?" Kai asked because the nameless scripture looks like a high-level technique.

"I got it by a lucky chance. The book is the inheritance of an emperor named Nameless Emperor, and he was once the strongest emperor in the whole world. There isn't much known about him, and he remains mysterious to the world." Alex replied proudly.

Kai was shocked to hear it was an emperor-tier scripture. The techniques or martial arts book are on the same level as the cultivation, so the emperor-tier technique is already at the peak of the world.

'What kind of shitty luck does my father have to find an emperor scripture?' thought Kai.

"Yeah, it is an emperor-tier scripture, but I only got the first part, and for the remaining part, I don't know." Alex said with some regrets.

"It's okay, dad; the first part will be enough for me to lay a good foundation,"

"Now I will teach you the basic stances and moves in the book. You need to understand the essence of a stance before you make the next move." Alex started teaching the basics of sword.

"Okay dad." Kai seriously listened to Alex's teachings.

"The basic moves of a sword are slash, stab, thrust, parry, feint, and block. I will now start with a slash. A slash may seem as simple as swinging the sword, but all the techniques, even the emperor's, use slashes as a means to kill the opponents.

All of them seem simple, but all the basic techniques have infinite potential if developed in the correct direction." Alex explained.

Then, according to his father, Kai started slashing with a wooden sword in his hands. Since he had the weight on him, the swinging took more effort. After he got the gist of slashing, Alex taught him about stabs.

"This move transfers the weight of the whole body to the tip of the sword and stabs the opponent. For stabs, you need to learn how to transfer the weight of the sword,"

For this move, he took a long time learning, as he had to learn how to transfer the weight from one part to another body part. But it isn't that hard, and he got started easily after a few tries.

"The thrust and stab may seem similar, but both of them have different purposes. The thrust focuses more on stances to exert more force, and the stab focuses on pure killing."

This move was a little complicated as it involved some techniques to exert force, but it's still not hard, and Kai learned it easily after some mistakes.

"The feint is a very tricky move if used in the correct situation, and this move will be useless until you master it. The parry can be used to reduce the force of the opponent's move, and for the block, it is to completely block the opponent's move."

The last three moves are very easy, and he learned them in no time.

"Kai, now that you have learned the basic moves, it is completely in your hands to master these moves and take them to a higher level. If you apply the technique in the Nameless Scripture, you can even create your own sword style,"

What Alex said is completely correct; Kai only learned how to use the moves and did not completely master them. If he ever wanted to apply the techniques in the scripture, he needed to master them fully.
