C18 Breakthrough
Kyle has been battling the monkey beast for two months. At the first few weeks, he was always on the defensive and could only just defend and avoid the monkey beast's attacks. Bit by bit, Kyle has started to familiarize with the monkey's attack and speed. He was starting to learn and adapt with the monkey's attacks, so defending and avoiding it was starting to get easier for him.
After a month of battling the monkey beast... Kyle's body was improving at an alarming rate, even his cultivation speed sky-rocketed and broke through the 6th stage. He felt he was really close in breaking through the 9th stage with his body.
A week later after that... Kyle's defending and dodging against the monkey beast became more fluent and easier until he finally went to the offensive. Kyle finally landed a successful blow against the monkey, but this was only a normal blow, so it wasn't really an effective one, and the beast only shrugged it off.
Kyle and the beast continued battling for the following weeks, he landed more successful blows, he even succeeded to hit the beast with his gura gura(he needs to charge for a little bit of time to use this), but even when his fist coated with haki and gura gura hit the body of the monkey beast, it only blew the beast away for a few meters.
His punch didn't leave any serious damage to the monkey beast, but Kyle was glad about this. It must be noted that he was still an 8th stage body cultivator, yet he could fight and exchange some blows against a Xiantian Realm Beast.
.....
On the first week of battling the beast... The monkey was irritated, the human kept on coming back again and again, but he was hopeless since he can't go all out and can't chase the human when he retreated.
After a month... The monkey beast started to get amused by the human's dedication. Xiantian Realm Beasts are quite smart, so it already knew that the human was using him to train. He was quite pissed that he was being used, but being pummeled and beaten every day was a very hard thing to accept especially for monster beasts like them... who was quite prideful, so when it saw the human coming back to get beaten... It got the monkey amused.
When Kyle started to land some successful blows and threw him away, the monkey started to felt threatened of the improvement of Kyle. It even wanted to go all out and kill Kyle to avoid any future problems. But he decided to go against this decision since going all out could lose some of its vitality, and this could cause a lot more damage to it in the future.
The monkey needs his whole strength in this upcoming year, so losing some of its vitality just to kill Kyle was out of the option. He has been here for a couple of years and it didn't wanna lose its chance to reap his awards just because of some human.
So the two keep on battling for a few more weeks...
Kyle started to get more confident and he landed a lot more blows, this continued until two months of battling the beast.
After two months of fighting the monkey...
Kyle was sitting in his resting area and was peacefully cultivating, he felt that he was gonna break through so he was quite happy. An hour later... He successfully broke through the 9th stage.
He felt his body's strength improved by a large margin and his speed fastened by a lot. He continued to train to adapt to his new strength. Two months of battling with the monkey gave him a really big improvement, he successfully broke-through, both of his Haki also improved due to constantly using it in these past few months.
His Kenbunshoku wasn't on the 3rd stage(seeing the future) but he was getting closer to it, he even felt that he could dodge the monkey beast successfully while closing his eyes, but he didn't do that since he doesn't wanna underestimate the enemy.
His Busoshoku was the one that improved most since he was constantly using it while getting pummeled by the monkey. He felt that his Busoshoku has stepped to the 3rd stage so he took a small tree twig and applied haki on it.
The twig hardened and became black... Seeing this made him glad since this meant that he really did step on the 3rd stage of his Busoshoku. Unfortunately, he wasn't using a weapon right now so he couldn't use his Busoshoku to its full potential. He decided that when he comes back, he would try to learn different weapons since swords weren't meant for him.
He didn't go to the monkey beast on this day since he wanted to practice and familiarize his newfound strength. After a day of practicing and familiarizing, he decided to go to the beast to fight it.
He was now confident on battling the beast, but still...he didn't let his guard down since the monkey beast was still a Xiantian Realm Beast and it may have some hidden trump cards.
....
When he arrived at the place... the monkey beast mocked him
"Ohhh... So you're still here, and here I thought you ran to your momma to cry. Wahahaha" the beast was already used to Kyle's serious appearance so every time he came, the monkey would always make fun of him.
"Oh really? Then let's see, who's gonna cry later" Kyle replied.
The two then started the fight...
The monkey beast had always initiated the fight so he jumped and dived towards him. Kyle could see the monkey clearly now, and with his Haki... He met the diving monkey head on and punched it.
When the two forces collided, the space cracked and the monkey was thrown away a few meters, Kyle also was thrown back but only a few inches away. Clearly... Kyle won the battle of strength.
When the monkey felt the force behind Kyle's punch, it was flabbergasted. The human who was beaten and played by him for these past two months has grown this much. It really felt dreaded and regretted not killing him in their first encounter.
But there wasn't a pill for regrets, so the two continued to battle. The impact of the battle resulted in a lot destruction, so the monkey tried to drew their battle away from the tree.
Sounds of *BOOM! BOOOM!! BOOM!!* could be heard in the forest, and the trees and earth were being destroyed. Everywhere they go caused mayhem on the forest.
The two continued to battle for hours. The monkey used feints and used its innate skills, but alas... it was repelled by a black fist and a crack. Two months of battling made Kyle wary of the monkey's abilities and skills, so all the tricks the monkey had was completely countered.
The monkey was starting to feel the pain in its body... It thought 'should I go all out and use it? But what if I lost a lot of vitality and failed to recover in this upcoming year? Wouldn't I waste 5 years of painstakingly waiting here? the monkey's thoughts were in disarray so it was distracted.
This created an opening for Kyle. He didn't waste this opportunity and punched the beast with all he's got. When his first hit, the monkey beast flew far away. Seeing this... He didn't stop, he ran towards the flying monkey and charged his fist with gura gura and contained it.
He wanted to punch the beast with his Atomic Fist. When the monkey beast saw this, it failed to dodge due to the pain of the last punch, so the monkey directly covered its body with its enlarged, glowing arms.
Kyle's Atomic fist hit the monkey's large, glowing arms. He meant to kill, or at least injure the monkey's insides by his Atomic Fist, but due to the monkey's fast reflex or battle instinct. It avoided fatal damage, but it still broke the bones on its hand.
The monkey then got thrown away and it coughed up a lot of blood, due to some of the force passing through its arms. The monkey beast really felt danger, so it didn't hesitate and wanted to go all out and transform.
The monkey started to shout and pumped its chest with his broken arms. The monkey was glowing and started to grow bigger, its fur started to burn with flame and the aura it gave had started to become deadlier.
Seeing this... Kyle thought 'so it is powering up huh as if I'll let you' so he dashed towards the growing and glowing monkey and send another punch.
When the monkey's transformation got interrupted, it got thrown away and coughed up a lot more blood. It then stared at Kyle with disbelief, and for once it felt scared.
C19 Revitalizing Pears
The monkey beast was staring at Kyle with disbelief. It didn't expect Kyle to be so shameless and attack it while the it was in the middle of transforming. Well, it really can't blame Kyle since there weren't rules in a real-life battle.
Due to this mistake... the monkey was now sitting on the ground covered with his own blood. It lost a lot of vitality, due to the interruption while transforming. Its eyes were full of regrets and anger.
Kyle slowly walked to the fallen monkey beast. He didn't feel any shame or guilt on what he did since he only did what he needed to do to win. It is not like he could let the enemy power-up and let it defeat him, can't he?
While slowly walking to the beast, he saw the bloody monkey on the ground. He didn't expect that in just two months... two months, and the monkey beast that he felt so strong, that his eyes couldn't see its speed... Fell before him.
When he was close to the beast... It said something
"Wait, Wait... Don't force me, let's make a deal..." The beast tried to reason with him.
"Deal? Why should I bother, if I could kill you right now." Kyle then replied while readying his fist.
"I said don't force me... I could still force myself to transform, but it would take a lot of my vitality." The monster then replied.
Kyle then stopped his actions. He was looking at the monkey beast while carefully examining it. He wasn't sure if the monkey was lying or not, so he tried to go with the flow and ask it about the deal first.
Truthfully... Kyle was feeling unwell on killing the monkey beast since it accidentally helped him in a lot of ways. He knew this is a world where the strong eat the weak, but since he fought the beast for over two months daily, he felt a little bond with it.
So when the monkey proposed a deal with him, he accepted it despite knowing it was a bad idea.
He was curious about this deal the monkey was talking about so he asked it.
"What deal are you talking about?"
"I bet you're wondering why I am unwilling to leave this place." The monkey told Kyle in a mysterious manner.
"Hmmm," he nodded.
"I am staying here because I am protecting the tree, and waiting for the fruits on the tree to get ripe."
When he heard this, he became ecstatic. 'So there really is a fruit huh.'
"Fruit? what kind of fruits do this tree bears?" Kyle asked then he jumped to the tree branches to look for the said fruits.
When he was above the tree... He saw 6 pear-looking fruits. It has a pink color and it was brimming with vitality. Seeing this made Kyle glad.
"This tree is called a Revitalizing Tree, it is quite famous even in our Beast Empire. It has a miracle-like effect that it could gather tons of Pure energy in the air. Staying near it could increase your vitality and energy, hence the healthy vegetation surrounding this place, but what makes this tree famous is that every 60 years it could produce 6 revitalizing pears, but it would need 6 years to ripen."
"These revitalizing pears could help low Xiantian's bodies evolved, so it was really popular for us monster beasts since we beasts prioritize our bodies. I also heard some rumors that this was one of the main ingredients to create a revitalizing pellet, but I don't know if its true since there were no alchemists in the Beast Empire. When I accidentally discovered this tree 5 years ago, it was just starting to bear its fruits, so I stayed here to protect it from being taken by those lower beasts for 5 years." The monkey told him.
"So what is this deal that you're talking about?" Kyle then asked curiously.
"I'll give you two of these pears, but you must help me protect it a year later." Seeing that the human was interested, the monkey beast tried to goad Kyle with greed.
"Protect? Protect from who?" Kyle asked again.
"When I was guarding this place a year ago. another Xiantian beast accidentally stumbled upon this area and saw the fruits. We fought for days and I defeated it. unfortunately... it successfully escaped and saw the fruit, it knew that the fruits needed another two years to ripen, so I bet it would come back with reinforcements."
The monkey told Kyle honestly. Truthfully... It was very worried about its encounter a year ago. The monkey knew for sure that the rascal he met a year ago will return, so it made some preparations and ask a friend from his tribe to come to help it a year later.
When Kyle heard the monkey beast, he didn't give a response immediately. He wasn't sure if the monkey was lying or not, but he was also wary of the monkey's 'forceful transformation'.
But since it would take another year for the fruit to ripen, he was confident that he could gain the strength to battle this so-called 'transformation' in this upcoming year. But what also made him wary is those 'reinforcements' that will come.
So he was having a hard time making a decision. The pros of this deal are that he would have a revitalizing pear, he was thinking that since this fruit could help low xiantian bodies evolved, he could use it to breakthrough Xiantian Realm as a body cultivator. But the cons of this deal is that... The monkey might be lying and was just buying for time, or the monkey could be telling the truth, but they would have to face these so-called reinforcements.
Minutes later...
Since the pros outweigh the cons, he decided to accept the deal, but before accepting it, he made some precautions.
"Ok I'll accept, but since we would be fighting together in another year, I want you to teach me some close combat martial arts, so we could work efficiently. Oh... and also tell me about your so-called 'transformations' so I could be ready and prepared when facing the enemies a year later." Kyle demanded the monkey.
When the monkey heard his demands, it could only grit its teeth and accepted. It really didn't want to go all out today, since it wanted the fruits and didn't wanna waste its five years protecting this damn tree.
What Kyle asked about martial arts and transformation was only a piece of common knowledge to them in the empire, so it really didn't matter to him if Kyle wants to learn it. It only infuriated the monkey that not only did Kyle had beaten it... Kyle also wanted the monkey to personally teach him.
The monkey felt liked Kyle was mocking him by saying 'hey you lost to me, even though I don't know some martial arts. So the monkey felt offended. But since it needed the human's help, so the monkey could only nod and accept Kyle's demand.
So the two broke off and they searched an empty space and recovered themselves.
.....
It's been a few days since the fight. After recovering... Kyle was continuing to do his daily routine training. The monkey still needed to recover its lost vitality and injuries so it still can't train Kyle.
In these past few days... Since the monkey cant train Kyle, he only asked some questions about the transformations of the beasts.
The monkey told him that, when a monster beast broke through the Xiantian Realm, their body will become smaller and became a more humanoid-like type. Their strength won't lessen just because they became smaller. in-fact, since they became smaller, the monster beast's strength became more contained and concentrated, so their power will multiply.
When they become Xiantian Realm beasts, they also gained an innate skill... the so-called 'transformation'. The monkey beast called it transformation when talking to Kyle to make him understand easier, but the real name of this innate skills is called 'resurrection'.
When they use this innate skill called 'resurrection' they revert back to their old humongous bodies, but these bodies are now evolved with a lot more inmate skills depending on its lineage. When they revert to their large bodies, their concentrated strength won't be diffused... In fact, their strengths will multiply again. Unfortunately... Using 'resurrections' drains their vitality so it was seldom used.
When Kyle heard this... He was shaken. He didn't expect the beasts to have this kind of cheat skill. He can't deduce how strong the beast is when they are in their 'resurrection' mode since he still hasn't seen or encountered one. But judging from the proud voice of the monkey beast when talking about this, he could felt that his current strength couldn't beat a Xiantian beast in its resurrection mode.
Luckily... He got a year to train, so he didn't need to worry about this for now. When Kyle asked the monkey beast about his 'forceful transformation', or 'forceful resurrection'. The monkey just ignored him. Seeing this... He could only stop acquiring about it since there are some secrets that cant be told, and since the monkey already told him a lot, so he forgot about it and he continued to train.
