Nothing Was Clear From Start
Chapter 7 Nothing Was Clear From Start
Dao Li had intermediate knowledge of Martial Arts, gaming and science. Because he had nothing to do except observing people and gaining useless knowledge. Which was now tending to be useful.
Dao Li lying on bed in his room, staring at the roof. Soon, a hologram popped up in front of him.
«Do You Want To Enter The VG PvP?»
After rapid increase in technology due to the universal alliance. Technology, civilization and religious things had became simple as breathing.
As per for internet and virtual world humans and some other civilizations had made, this bracelet was also a result of the alliance, that united all of the virtuality.
VG PvP is a platform in this virtual world. In which awakeners fight without any loss. But as a person can only fight with someone on his same level. Like Dao Li was in DayBreak Mortal so the opponent should also be in DayBreak Mortal non-more nor less.
Base Cultivation Trial was divided in two parts first, Daylight in which Dao Li was and the Genius Meet-Up was about to held. Second was Moonlight after that a human can became an Awakener. This was the easiest way to became an Awakener, made by the collaboration of Vashus and Humans.
On the other hand, other races part take in the short, real but deadliest way. Which surely give advantage against the individuals in Base Cultivation Trial.
As Dao Li entered the VG PvP a notification indicating an one versus one match invitation from a beloved one.
«Wanna Match Looser?! — From Beloved Dao Xue»
"No." Dao Li turned and opened the door of the training room while pondering. 'This is a virtual world. So I can't became strong here, but like others I can level up my skills.'
With this thought in mind Dao Li let AI scan his stats and a dummy with little higher stats then him appeared in front of him.
"I want to use Water Apparatus (Apparentus)." With a command the floor became water — endless ocean giving a view of peace and pleasant world of water.
This was the place one of Dao Li's favourite map to fight and practice martial arts. Even once he managed to win against Dao Xue in childhood, during the teachings of Dao family's martial arts.
Dao Li throw a kick to the dummy and the dummy defend it easily. But Dao Li was surprised to see he was able to throw a kick to his neck. In childhood he had a malnourished body, by the time his body was able to look normal. But he was still weak that's why he was unable to even kill a Tier 1 beast. Even after awakening he wasn't sure that he might be able to kill any foreign beast. Even one similarly strong like a rat.
Dao Li throw one or two kicks more and was surprised to see his flexibility. With a thoughtful expression he tend to test his punches. He punched dummy's torso and for his surprise the dummy stepped one step back.
Dao Li jumped and ran around the training room, like a little kid has gifted his favourite toy. Dao Li stop messing around and stand in front of the dummy. His mind was full of questions but he didn't want to waste his time just to think while he can practice with it.
Dao Li start practicing basic kicks and punches which was still in this world after hundreds of years like sidekick, roundhouse kick, tornado kick. He wasn't good at executing nor he was any master, but he know how to do and he was trying to his full extend.
Again and again. Again and again. No matter how many times he fall or felt pain. He was thankful to anyone or any reason making his body like others. But this time he wasn't planning to live a normal life. He didn't want to be weak. Because he once had suffered the consequences to be weak.
'I think it's true, the poor know the true value of money. In my case. No in anyone's case — Weak knows the true value of strength.' Dao Li pondered while practicing.
'How my body became like this? Was it the Heavenly Ruine Technique's deed? Or because of that memory crystal? Or perhaps that pool? Leave it, I shouldn't argue on a gift like that. Oh,' Dao Li's eyes widened in realisation as he was about to stop pondering.
"The black liquid that came out in that pool and back then. It was the same as I read in novel, purification." Dao Li said in an amazed voice.
Back then, before fainting in the forest near Generla Quran, Dao Li had noticed a black liquid near the lake. But as the next morning he didn't notice that black liquid, he thought it was his imagination.
'Isn't all purification a myth of old novels?' Dao Li pondered.
As the humankind's knowledge increase with time many things was stated just imagination and myth made by humans' curiosity. Like genetics define a being's potential and; gods and demons.
Humans was a normal race like others. Apart from that humans have just feeling — the upgraded version of instincts and the different brain from other races.
And the best thing was discovered that scattered millions of years of humankind.
"Change" is the sole rule of space. Means no equation nor result of science is permanent. Brain is the only thing which is on par with the change. Science is applicable to a certain extent, like planet. But even in plantes it varies from planet to planet. So, it was useless to study atoms or other stuff more deeply. You should only know about it's existence and reactions.
'Perhaps it's was poison? But who can give poison to me? Grandpa Zhang and little Wu are the only ones who knows my real identity.' Dao Li pondered and said, "I should stop thinking about that thing I didn't know. I should focus on being strong as it's the easiest and strongest way to solve any matter."
Till now from the time he had started thinking, he had practiced basic punches and kicks. Now he was eager to practice Water Apparatus.
Dao Li take a irregular position mainly making his body look stiff. His left elbow was touching his waist and his right knuckle was touching his forehead. Dao Li punched the dummy, which was more like a robot moving according to his opponent.
On Dao Li's right fist water was wrapped like a headless snake. But when Dao Li punched the dummy the water scattered due to Dao Li's high speed.
When the punch landed on the dummy's torso without caring about anything. A notification appeared in front of Dao Li.
«You Have Defeated VG PvP #Bot-1»
Dao Li again started practicing. But this time he wanted to practice Fire Apparatus. Dao Li punched the dummy with Fire Apparatus thrice and then a random thought burst his mind.
'What if I can use Water and Fire Apparatus together?' With this thought in mind Dao Li tried to use them both together.
He saw that on his left arm fire was wrapped like a headless snake and same on the right hand. The difference was that there was water instead of fire.
A notification popped up from nowhere.
«Congratulations, You Have Learned The Martial Art "Absolute Destruction"»
[Absolute Destruction]
Description: Martial art of Dao family. Challenging the heaven trembling the hell a mere human rose his head destroying everything a slaying every single of them
"..."
Dao Li was in loss of words for the description of his family art.
It shouldn't be that arrogant? How will he describe it's features to others? That's why most of his family members was so arrogant. It was not there fault, it was their martial art description that make them that arrogant.
"But how I learnt it?" Dao Li pondered for a moment and added, "Can it be grandpa's plan to make me learn this?"
Dao Li log out from VG PvP as he had done too much practice virtually. Now he had to do physical training.
Dao Li go to the fighting arena of Dao family. Dao Li took a dummy not too hard nor too soft, he punched it with all his might and guts resulting a beep sound.
"990!"
"New Record!"
A number flashed on the dummy seeing which Dao Li's eyes widened and his brain felt numb for a moment and then suddenly said in a low voice, "Don't announce my record."
"Yes, Sir."
Soon, the sound and lights roaming on the walls vanished.
899 was the last and highest record made by an old man of Dao family. As this type of dummy measure technique instead of power and strength.
And controlling the machines was the authority of Dao Li as the young master of Dao family. As he had listened about himself from the young generation of Dao family. That he was that strong that the Family Head, Dao Zhang was personally training him.
But Dao Li was puzzled about that why his grandfather don't let anyone know who he is and even leave him in middle of them without any authority except the authority to control machines.
As in Dao Li's life nothing was clear from start. It was too complicated and he never get the answer of half of his questions he leave every question in his mind in the corner and do what he can do only reading old and new novels, day and night.
'Was this type of record the reason grandpa Zhang and the old hags of higher authorities called me Genius?' Dao Li pondered inwardly.
