章 11: Realizing Sword Qi?

Shiva was genuinely surprised that he could produce a wisp of sword qi. Even though it wasn't sword intent, it was still a surprise.

One has to know that after utilizing the skill, Sword Qi, an invincible beam of energy emits from the user's sword, shooting out explosively. However, the burden on the user has become equally high.

The skill is powerful and shocking, but it expends a huge amount of stamina, and the Sword Qi could only extend for about a meter when one first obtains it. But the longer and harder you train with your sword and your body, the stronger and more potent the sword qi becomes.

Shiva sat down and began revising and improving the moves in his mind. The moves weren't very profound, but they are extremely difficult to perform due to his smaller body. His body's adaptably, his zenkai boost, and his high affinity for nature is also a great thing for his practice. With these factors put into play, he has the ability to train 100x longer and harder, and get 100x the results in less time.

Two Hours Later

After Shiva finished revising and improving his katas, he started practicing again and was wiped.

"Grrrrrrr"

"I'm hungry"

Shiva returned to his cave, picked a pot and a stone plate. He then pulled out some meat and spices from the pagoda world. He started a fire with his Ki'

"Today was a productive day. I trained my body more, figured out what weapons I will be using in the future, gained a wisp of sword qi." Shiva then began to cook the beast meat and put the spices into and onto the meat. The fire got bigger for a moment then got smaller until the meat started to get darker, but he knew that it wasn't done.

Six Moments Later

"Woo! This smells good! The primordial beast meat and The immortal spices that I put into the fire mixed so well! What did I expect from the best meats and spices in the pagoda world"

Shiva started to enjoy his meal and think about his future in this new world. 'I need to be at least a Grade 9 Grandmaster to walk out of this forest and explore the world. But, what I need to work on now is building up my sword qi and gaining sword intent. I can't worry about the sword soul realm yet, and let's forget about the later realms after that, that's way too far off. Well, let's think about it later on.'

Shiva wanted to restart his training, but he remembered words from his past life, "Too much work will be harmful for the mind and body". Those words are true for anyone, but they aren't for Shiva. But he pushed himself to the stone platform and laid down on his back and closed his eyes.

Next Day

Shiva woke up, rubbed his eyes and got off the stone platform.

"Let's start with my physical exercises and katas." He made up these exercises in his mind yesterday when he lay down on the platform

Shiva started with his daily warm-ups. push-ups, sit-ups, squats, for his physical body warm-ups. and for his sword training, unsheathe, slash downwards, sheathing's, punches, kicks, finger walking and utilizing "The origin Breathing Style." This will be his daily morning warmup for him for the foreseeable future.

"Ha"

"Ha'

"Ha"

"That was good... I like this workout! With these, I'll be able to stimulate my zenkai boost and have it work for a longer time to strengthen my body further. And the stronger my body, the more sword qi my body can handle." Shiva finished with his morning workouts and went to sit on top of the flat hill he found the day before.

He began to search through his mind to find a specific art that will help him in the future. He remembered a certain show of these people with swords that wear black, and that they use spirit energy. He couldn't remember the name but he knew what it was.
