Chapter 2: Five elemental breathing technique

"Alright, that's enough. Even though we are outskirts of the forest, but still, it is not safe. We have to move quickly. Take everything and do not leave anything behind," Iniyan said.

" I only want Heart of the Iron Bull." Prince Asura said.

"Hmm." one of the boys who cut the meat of iron bull. Within half an hour they cleared everything. Iniyan took one of the Iron Bull's horn. He ordered others to make split the Iron Bulls meat and told them to sell one of the horns in their village.

Even though prince Asura with them, all others are only subordinates of Iniyan. They are not from a wealthy family. The meat of Iron bull and the horn will help their family for one or two months.

They soon left the forest. Almost 10 young boys, no one reached the age of 15, killing Iron bull which was five years are worth. Because It already attained maturity. Even though it was not ferocious beasts but it is still stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Before evening they reached Red Gilt Village. Iniyan gave them each of 5 silver coins which promised by a prince and ordered others to leave. Prince Asura and Iniyan stayed on outskirts of Village. Since they already out of forest not even a kilometre to the village, so they didn't care about the safety of Prince Asura. Moreover, Iniyan with Prince.

"They left," Iniyan told.

"Good, you protect me here, I will enter the cave and practise," Prince Aura said.

"Prince Asura, I do not know anything about Secret technique of empire, but I am afraid the technique what you are practising is a most formidable one. Otherwise, you would not do this" - Iniyan said.

What he said is right, why a prince comes to forest and kill Iron bull with his friends. A single order from him will get more than a hundred Iron bull at his feet.

"My friend, I knew you care about me and also you are my friend and senior in Our Imperial Academy. But I have to do it, my future will depend upon it." Prince Asura said.

Iniyan sighed but didn't tell anything, he came and guarded the cave.

Inside the cave Prince Asura took the Iron bull's Heart, it is the size of the newborn baby head and it folded in banana leaf, He removed it, put it inside the hearing into a pot. Then he took another pot which had some medicinal herb's essence in it and put the heart of Iron bull in it.

"Medicinal essence made by the chief of doctor of our emperor. Thanks to the 2nd brother without his help, I wouldn't get this essence liquid." Prince Aura thought himself.

Then he applied the blood of iron bull in his body starts and starts meditating. The energy in the air mixed with the essence of blood and entered into his body. After an hour Prince Asura woke up from his meditative state. His body was cover with black dust it was impurities in his body.

Then he made fire with sticks on the ground, cooked the Heart of Iron bull than eat it. Again, start to Meditative state. It took another half an hour.

"Body strengthening technique - strengthen one body by doing exercises and practise to make one body perfect. Once one reaches the fifth stage, they can feel the energy inside his body and control it in simultaneously. But the secret technique I found in the library will help me to feel and use it in the 3rd stage. But I am now at the verge of breakthrough. The base element I choose is the earth element. Stronger the base is better grow, moreover, Earth element is the best in defence, so Best Defence Is Good Offence." Prince Asura.

In the face of the earth if you have strength, then whatever you do is right, whatever you say is the law. The power is always ultimate here.

To get stronger, people choose to become a warrior. To become a warrior, they have to cultivate fighting techniques. But without a strong body, no one teaches you. Your body has to reach the fifth stage to learn fighting techniques. From the starting of Ancient age, Body strengthening divides into nine stages. After reaching the 5th stage one can learn fighting techniques. Until they can only learn basic exercises and movements of weapons.

Basic movements are like child play when a child plays with a sword with fluke it does some block and attack like that. It won't help in life and death battle. Prince Asura friend Iniyan is in the seventh stage who good at swords within three years he will be joining in the army.

But Prince Asura at the verge of a breakthrough thanks to the secret technique he found. It was Madurai Dynasty's old secret technique, no one practised in a millennium. It will help him to feel and use his internal energy. He can start to learn fighting techniques in stage three.

But what he did not know is he also learnt how to convert external energy into internal energy through the blood of Iron bull.

And also, the biggest threat which coming through the secret technique.

His surrounding gets violent, wind flows, like a small hurricane around his body. Iron Bull heart, he ate with medical essence digested and convert into energy flows into his body and getting hot from inside burst out from his body destroyed the wind hurricane. He broke through to the third stage of Body strengthening.

But what surprised that not only he broke through the third stage, but the quality of the internal energy almost equal to the sixth stage, even though he is not able to fight with sixth stage fighter directly, but escaping is not a problem.

Prince closed his eyes feels his internal energy, controls it flows moves it directly to his fist and hit the rock of the cave. Surrounding air burst out, and he did not feel any pain in his hand, a faint line of his fist outline appeared the rock.

He jumped backside move his essence to his leg kicked air he can feel the strength. Air again flowed like it broken by heavy rock.

"Not bad, five elemental breathing technique I took it from secret training room is marvellous. As mentioned in the third stage, I can feel my internal energy." Prince Asura thought himself.

"You finished Prince Asura, we will be late we stayed any longer. If we don't reach home before sundown, you will escape but I will be in trouble." Iniyan Voice echoed the cave.

"Yeah I am finished, but there is small problem" saying this, prince walks out of the cave.

"Ha... Who the heck are you?" Iniyan gets shocked.

Due to impurities came out of his body his face and body all are dirty like black sand all over his body.

"HaHaHa... Bad joke" Prince said.

Laughing at Prince Iniyan said "No one believes if you say you are the fifth prince of our Madurai dynasty empire.

"Cut the crap, let's go to the river and have a bath." Prince aside and went to the river

They went to the river finished nothing, they wear their clothes and armour went to Iniyan hose.
