On the internet Cheng Shan found another simple technique called the basic Sword Technique and it was even described as returning to basics, something that attracted him the most. He wondered if studying it would assist him in accomplishing his goal of dealing with the menacing atmosphere around him due to his strong physique and spirit. He also did not practice the Five Animal Boxing in case he broke through and his spirit and physique increased exponentially.
He wanted to find a way to conceal it first before he could continue to improve himself. The sword technique would not only allow him to strengthen himself, as he had seen that it can serve the purpose of hardening the bones, as much as he did not believe it, he could only try out to find out.
In the morning, he did have some change in his routine, he could feel the hunger, after all, he seemed to have been woken up earlier due to it. As he looked at everything and had already made a plan, as he picked up the phone and made some searches. There are several potato farms around and the owners would not mind seeing some of them to someone like him. He thought they were the best he could do at the moment as other food will not be able to satisfy his hunger.
After making an order, he was sure that when the business opens, the owner will make arrangements after all he had ordered a few hundred kilograms and that would take some money off his account, but it was the best he could do. He was also waiting for his control over the strength to increase further and he would go and look at the region the car accident happened, if such wild animals were present, he could hunt them for the meat. It was mostly not something that would be allowed, but he would not live on fish alone, that would be suffering even if he had to save on expenses, as such it would be best to gather some things by himself.
With these thoughts in his mind, he finished off the last banana before rushing out to practice, he was not going to let go of the chance. Considering it was still dark to play in the stream, he started to swing the sword based on the videos he had seen on the internet. The improvement in his spirit seemed to have enhanced his memory even further and thus he kept repeating what he had seen until the speed become faster and faster.
It was just that he found the way he dealt with the swings did not match perfectly. More importantly, he had the wooden stick he used snap repeatedly and it was a show that his strength control was not good.
Just like that, he kept swinging it in a basic manner until he got some kind of rhythm and he could see that the Basic Sword Technique had appeared on the panel too. It is just that when he swung it, this time it felt different after all he was using strength all over the body and the wind seemed to be blown away from the swing.
At the same time, he seemed to have some feeling of exhaustion kicking in, but the more he swung the knife the more apparent it became. But the improvement was indeed great compared to when he studied Five Animal Boxing.
The sound of the wind being blown away kept appearing with the swing of the stick and finally, when he could not do it anymore he sat down on the ground panting. He was sure this training was indeed working considering that his body seemed exhausted and even the aggressive aura around him seemed to have dissolved slightly he was also able to realize that perhaps the cause of his aura being this way was not the improvement brought about by the Five Animal Boxing.
The moment he swung the sword continuously the aggressive aura seemed to be replaced by another one, but it had not completely taken shape. He had a reason to improve the five Animal Boxing but he knew clearly that it was not up to him in the end, he needed some chance or insights.
That did not come out of nowhere and had to let nature take its course or find some of the animals in the Five Animal Boxing in their natural habitat and perhaps it could induce insights. This was pure speculation and he would have to accomplish this before thinking about anything else.
What he did not know was that the moment he used the pose of the basic sword technique to practice, his bones were being tempered, even if the effect was minimal, it was still there.
Due to exhaustion, Cheng Shan moved to the gazebo and lied down and his consciousness switched to the clone that suddenly moved its body from the very surface of the stone, and after some observation seemed to see some other small fish within hundred meters radius. It then started to move hidden approaching, it was hunting.
The consumption required to evolve again is not small, as such the small fish seemed to have less value but it did not plan to let them go. The bigger fish would be found in the center of the sea and entering that region the distance is far off. More than that, the current strength of the clone might not be capable of dealing with them and did not have any interest in turning into food. It thus kept hunting and consuming the small fish around this area and at the same time checking to see if it could gain any other attributes but that did not work.
It seemed that the object that it had obtained before is something rare and would be hard to find, but it did not think that it was impossible after all it had seen it once implying others existed.
The entire area had been swept by the clone and it continued to travel further before it came across some fishing boats, and they were dragging some nets, as it could see them from below the surface and it was lucky not to move at the top of the water. At the same time, it saw a large quantity of fish, which seemed to make the clone almost drool.
It contained to move further and along the way would consume any creature it met, making up for its food intake. But this time things were slightly different as the bar had not even moved slightly at all.
The further the clone moved underwater, it started to see some sunken and rotting boat wreckage. After seeing some movement near there it also approached, it had decided to make camp in this place for the moment as for the inhabitants it turned them into a meal.
The time spent on the sea surface was close to four hours and when he reacted the sun was already in the sky and it could still tell due to the good eyesight, after all, it had yet to reach the very depths where even sunlight might not be capable of being perceived.
The thing that he was sure of was that the sea was too large as it had just moved less than a mile and it had consumed a lot, if back in the stream and being fed of his income, he would be incapable of providing so much food.
With his consciousness returning, he moved toward the stream to practice balance and power control. He could see that the order he had made on potatoes had not been replied to, as such he just calmly let things play out.
