training

A month has passed since I got the scrolls and passed the trail, I stare at huge tree Infront of me full of deep claw marks and craters made by my fists, I managed to get a spear made by a competent craftsmen as gift from tigress although it is not ideal to my crocodile flow it will do for now cause damn I really want that halberd.

It is said that when an apprentice advances to master he can take a weapon of his choice from the hall of heroes if oogway and the weapon deem him worthy, tigress doesn't have a weepon because she thinks the body is all a master need to survive which is not wrong if you want to stay a master for the rest for your life.

Monkey got the heavy monks gauntlet but he rarely uses keeping as more of a trophy, a punch from the monks gauntlet can bypass all armour and damage you from the inside out, a truly brutal weapon if a master uses a fist flow or his own flow.

I decide to go back to my cabin, it has been a while since I went back and it's time to go out and make name for myself in the poison swamp, as I walk back I pass a lot of tree's toppled over and broken in half clearly the results of my training.

At first I couldn't even break the surface bark of a small tree, I would injure my hand and tear the skin off my knuckles but that's when I discovered that I had a healing factor ish, torn skin would visibly rebuild no doubt an effect of the pool.

My weapon mastery has also mean advancing rapidly, I'm nimble as I am strong, I trained in fight using spear and claw, also spear throwing as it might catch someone off guard but I will leave me defenceless although I can take a hit too many would hinder my ability to fight.

"aaaaaah…" after a long sigh I take a look back at the only tree I couldn't take down, big ass tree and thick too with 2 meter diameter.

"If I can't take down the tree then how ill I take down the bandit leader…" so.

I get down on all fours.

I lean back and lower my stature so low I can smell the ground.

And sprint towards the tree tearing up the ground as advance.

My muscles flex under the pressure.

Blood drips.

"ONLY FOOLS IGNORE THE CALL FOR BATTLE!"

"HAAAAAAA!"

I take to the air and kick the tree so hard that I feel a crack in my foot, but I drive through anyway and bark flies everywhere as the 30 meter tall tree gets uprooted entirely, I land roughly and with roll I stand there lift my leg and hold to the back while standing on one leg.

*master shifu pov*

I have been watching our newest apprentice go at in the forest, every day after he drinks a bottle of poison, he goes and uses the trees as dummies, at first I thought he would be honing his mistakes, but in time he started to progress in the crocodile flow and he has got it down in one month, mid-range poisons no longer affects him and it would take down a bull in minutes.

This type of growth I have seen it before, and if he becomes a threat, I will stop him before he advances any longer.

*back to leo pov*

It has been a long day indeed, I'm I contemplating whether to just pack and go after the bandits without permission, or I can open this door and ask for oogway's permission.

I can never seem to know what the old turtle is thinking, tai lungs time is near and im not strong enough to beat him, I have to beat him because the panda has the mc aura and he would win anyway.

Defeating tai lung is detrimental to my growth.

I open the door and see the turtle on his stick.

"master oogway." I bow slightly showing respect.

"are you in a hurry?" master oogway said slowly.

"in a way, I would like to ask you for permission to… dispose of the bandits." Leo said.

"and do you think …..you are ready….hmmmm?' oogway said coming down form his stick slowly.

"I am master, I just need a chance to prove myself." Is this guy slow or what.

"patience is key, hot-headedness and curiosity killed many before you…masters and grandmasters alike." Oogway then looked up taking a deep breath reminiscing about past events it seems.

"master I think he is ready, allow one of the five to accompany him in case of unforeseen circumstances." Master shifu said while making those entrances he always does.

Man, just pops out of nowhere.

"I trust my friends' ability to judge and if he says you are…ready… I won't question it."oogway said shaking his head.

"I suggest you take viper with you it is after all an area of her expertise." Said shifu.

"I understand, thank you master."
