New Training Ground

[-Days after Shams' return-]

The incident that happened with Hawks and the other younger disciples, including the disappearance of Shams, made Master Wushu to think over his approach towards the younger disciple.

If before he did not allow the training outside the school.

But due to the persistent desire of the younger disciples to have more space to practice and be permitted to go all out at some time.

In order to exhibit the full potential of their own techniques and abilities, it needed a larger space for them to experiment and move more.

Thus, Master Wushu decided to include a day where all disciples can practice in and go all out.

This made most of the disciples celebrate and rejoice due to their desire to become powerful.

One specific disciple was the most excited of all … Shams!

When everyone was doing their own thing outside the school.

A specific area in between the forest and the school became an outdoors lawn for -Training Zone- of all disciples.

There was pride and joy within Master Wushu watching his disciples showcase their own skills and potential.

Beside Master Wushu was the high-ranking disciples in the school which are considered to be promoted into {Apprentice-Rank}.

Including, Feilong who was the closest to Master Wushu.

Almost everyone has treated Master Wushu as a father figure for everyone.

Since, it was time for the younger ones to showcase their skills.

The {Junior-Ranked} was assigned to be the sparring partners of the younger ones so that they can go all out if they want to.

Feilong whispered to Master Wushu his own assessment based on the current view of sparring that was happening in front of them.

In the middle of their fascination towards the showcase of Hawks and the others.

Shams pulled Master Wushu's robe trying to get his attention.

"Oh, little Ryoku! What's the problem, little one?" Master Wushu asked his youngest disciple.

"Can I also train, master? I also wanted to try my own techniques if it does work and how far have I truly learned in the aspect of cultivating." Shams looked at Master Wushu using his adorable charm.

A certain desperation within Shams regarding his desire to try his newly acquired power due to his fusion with Viper.

< Sss … Are you sure that this will work on the old man? It is truly unfortunate not to test your newly acquired skills. Sss … >

'Just leave it to me, Viper!' Shams reassuring his newly acquired mythical beast.

Master Wushu looked at Shams and could not refuse the young boy.

"Okay, but do not force yourself too much … okay? Feilong! Assist little Ryoku and spar with him for a bit." Master Wushu instructed his most senior disciple.

For a while, Feilong was skeptic that Shams would even intend to practice.

The most senior disciple of Master Wushu took Shams and he carried him all the way to the spot of where they planned to practice.

…

Under the blue sky,

On the grassy field where they intend to practice and in front of Shams was Feilong.

His most senior fellow disciple will be focusing on defense while Shams will focus and go all out on his offense.

"Do not hurt yourself, okay?" Feilong was clearly underestimating Shams.

No one knows exactly what Shams could do.

They only know that he has advanced development but in terms of skills and ability in cultivating.

There was no hint nor basis so far.

'What are my newly acquired skills, Viper? Tell me the options that I can try right now.' Shams asked his mythical beast.

Viper promised Shams not only power but eternal loyalty, servitude and guidance. In exchange of the promise of Shams to conquer all realms.

< Sss … At the moment, the available options for your newly acquired skills. Sss … >

<<< _Golden Scales_ >>>

--- The ability to protect yourself through hardening of your skin. Harder than a diamond.

<<< _Taunt_ >>>

--- The ability to intimidate lower forms of beasts and they will stay away from you.

'Those are uncool stuff! Tell me any offensive skills. I thought there was something interesting that I newly acquired from our fusion.' Shams expressed his disappointment towards Viper.

< Sss … It's because your body is not yet fully developed! Your certain level is still inapt to perform other skills. You are still 2 years old for crying out loud! Sss … >

A frustration was clear on Viper's voice.

'So I need to even reach certain levels and train my body?'

< Sss … Yes! Train your body more. To access certain skills and abilities at your disposal … Sss …>

'What is my current level right now?'

< Sss … Level: 0 … Sss ...>

'How about my available offensive skills?'

< Sss … You can imitate the skills of your fellow disciples but it will not be perfectly the same since you have to adjust yourself and practice it over and over again. For you to perfectly execute in the same manner. But there is one available offensive skill. Sss …>

After hearing from Viper, it made Shams excited to try but he wanted to stretch a bit before finally using his unique ability.

"Senior Feilong, can I use my 100 percent?" Shams asked Feilong.

"Oh sure! Be my guest, little Ryoku … Just do not get hu--- …" Feilong was not able to finish his words.

Out of a sudden, Shams appeared in front of him and Feilong took a full swing of Shams' fist.

An unbelievable speed and strength left everyone astonished.

Even the spectators were gasping in surprise from the astonishing moves that Shams was manifesting in front of them all.

Because of an unexpected move from Shams, Feilong received a direct hit from the youngest disciple.

It was the first time for everyone to see Feilong bleed and get hurt.

"What was that? How? When did you become this strong?" Feilong was stunned at what he was witnessing from Shams.

Master Wushu wanted to stop the sparring between Feilong and Shams but it was too late because Shams tried one of his offensive ability.

"Gobble!" Shams spread his right arm towards the direction of the other disciples.

<<< _Gobble_ >>>

--- The ability of Shams to absorb ki from its target.

Since they were on the corner of the training ground, all disciples from the right side of Shams passed out one by one.

There was a massive gathered ki around Shams right arm.

He activated his golden scales only within his right arm to protect his right arm from too much concentrated ki from his fellow disciples.

"Now, Senior Feilong … Are you ready for my … Nuke Punch?" a sinister look was seen on Shams eyes.

For the first time, Feilong sensed fear for his life.

"Here we go!" Shams launched forward in an incredible speed.

"Ryoku!!!" Master Wushu screamed for his youngest disciple.
