Chapter 3: Training

[Glory City]

[Ying family Manor]

"Zhao, come again," I said while positioning myself in a defensive position.

"Okay, young master Ying," Zhao said, as his gaze seemed to search for openings in my posture.

He shoots toward me, and I focus on his movements. I realize he goes to kick me on the left side.

I try to absorb the energy force of the kick, while returning the force to his other leg, being his balance point. If I hit it, I would already have the advantage.

He seems to notice and returns to his position. The fight continued until I realized my body was already at its limit.

My body is so weak now, plus I need to adapt to my movements with my new height.

"Zhao... for today is okay," I said while my breathing was a little disturbed.

It's been a week since I arrived in this world. My strength is at a weak level.

I have reached the Bronze 5-star Rank as a fighter with the morning fights with Zhao.

He is a fighter, Black-Gold 1-star rank. In Glory City, he is a powerhouse, but in reality, he is weak.

With the memories of the NEET, I know that this is a little world and the power right here has a limit.

Aside from morning practice, in the afternoon, I went to the library. I know the power of knowledge.

In the past, in wars, the best victories were those that you won without even using a weapon.

The same is for this situation. To know something about a world from a reader's point of view is superficial.

If I want to conquer this city, for example. I would have to understand how the market works in the city, whether the noble families control the majority, or whether they are merchants.

How are the commoners treated? Good or bad?

Both of these points, if worked together, can already create an internal conflict.

In Glory City, whoever marries the daughter of the City Lord becomes the new lord.

Because of this, I've been learning about the general situation in the city and how the cultivation techniques work.

I'll need to work on creating one for myself.

Also, I tried to understand which limitations of the system during the week.

My eyes took away the ability to identify things. Identifying becomes my skill. I may know what is something but cannot use it with a blindfold.

Not that it is a problem.

This skill is helpful. I can know which techniques are better than others and realize how different they are. From there, I'm going to build a model.

I have found that [Chi You] is an Emperor-Rank technique. However, it is a martial art and doesn't cultivate soul energy.

At night, I practice only exercises. I plan to focus on achieving legendary as a fighter.

While I'm not developing my technique, I'll concentrate on the body.

Although the library here is grand, I'll possibly finish all the books in about two months. After that, I'll use the books of the Holy Orchid Institute with more than a hundred thousand books. Noble vantages.

[2 months later]

During that time, besides the exercise routine, although I tried my best not to think about the past, it didn't work.

What happened to my people?

Chun Yan..., is my mother all right?

My goal has always been to become a king who brings peace and happiness. However, in this world, I rule no one.

Should I seek another goal?

I don't know.

Funny, haha.

The only thing that makes me keep going is that I know that without strength, no one can choose what to do.

Maybe if I reach the top, I can even...

"Young master..., the clothes and weapon as you requested are ready." Said my maid, Ann, while bringing some things that I ordered.

I look at her, smile a little, and say, "Will you help me change?"

She looks at me, her face says it all. Her cheeks turn red, but her gaze remains serious.

"Don't tease me, young master," she said. I like to tease her.

"You are not funny, Ann," I said while smiling.

Receiving the things I ordered, there are a pair of clothes similar to what I wore in the past. I don't care what they wear here; I wear what I want.

Besides, I take the memories of those special ones with me.

Looking at the 5 Zhijiatao, I can't help but mutter "Hào"

[Zhijiatao image here. Note: Hào is "fine", "good", "great", etc.]

After getting dressed, I put on my blindfold.

Today would be the day I would begin to visit the Holy Orchid Institute.

But, before I went, I still had one more thing to do.

Walking towards the training area, I see Zhao waiting for me.

"Did you bring it?" I ask.

"Yes, young master," He says while giving me a soul crystal.

Soul crystal shows the soul realm and soul points. This is that all the people know. But, show the soul attribute and soul form too.

While he studied the basics of each area, he didn't have to. But if he is going to create a technique, he'd better learn what his focus would be.

"Young master... do you need to control soul force- what?" he says as his face turns to surprise.

I understand his confusion.

After all, the color in the soul crystal is not something normal.
