Chapter 82: Improving

In the days that followed, Lucavion's life became a cycle of relentless training and brutal combat. The Shadowed Thicket, with all its dangers, served as both his proving ground and his teacher.

He moved through the forest like a phantom, his senses heightened by the wind technique he had finally begun to master. Each day, he ventured deeper into the territory of the forest's most fearsome creatures, pushing himself to his limits in an effort to hone his skills and grow stronger.

The first beast he encountered after that initial rocky outcrop was a creature with skin as tough as stone, perfectly camouflaged against its surroundings.

It was a predator lurking in the shadows, waiting for an unsuspecting victim to wander too close. But Lucavion was no ordinary prey. The wind whispered to him, guiding his movements and revealing the hidden dangers before they could strike.

His first battle was fierce, the creature's strength formidable.
