The Old Man

"Damn, why are you doing this?" A man yelled while looking at Sora, this was none other than the mayor of the city. a level 9 Qi refiner with great power, but right now he was under Sora's foot, struggling to get Sora off him.

"The trauma your soldiers have given me is great, how knows if I will recover? and to think even the mayor would try and rob me, how would I trust the world?" Sora said with a smile, making the mayor's face turn dark. where is the trauma, wasn't he and his people who would be suffering from all of this?

"I was wrong, how about I give you 500 gold for your trouble?" The mayor asked trying his best to be friendly, but Sora shook his head.

"I thought since you were in your 60s you would have mastered energy or something, but to think I have better energy control than you. it seems like I'm just more talented, but I should see the guy standing above you to make sure." Sora said with a smile stunning the mayor,

this brat was using them to major himself and the standards of this world, his face instantly turned dark upon realizing this. of course, their energy control was low, and it was not so easy to control energy, adding their jobs and other things they had to deal with, they had to make time for cultivation, training their martial arts, comprehending martial arts, face buttle makes, and also learn to master their energy control,

the more impure your energy, the harder and harder it is to control, those in this low-grade city had a lot of impurities, leading to them having a hard time controlling energy. Sor was a unique case as all most all energy he absorbed was absorbed by the system, this also went for impurities, allowing Sora to start cultivation pure. of course, he was collecting impurities with every breath, but the cultivation arts he cultivated were high-grade and could allow him to clean himself,

"you want to see my father? then go ahead, he has been locked away for 20 years trying to breakthrough into the Qi Sea realm," He roared angrily, to which Sora sighed softly, 20 years worth of cultivation could lead to one energy control and even energy merging capability dropping, so his father might not be a match, but it was worth a try. Sora kicked him away and rushed him to go get his daddy,

Sora wanted to know the standards of strength, what was considered talented or not, and so on. So in such a low-grade city, he was willing to show off his tricks knowing that this city was meaningless and he could defeat pretty much anyone,

'System, what are the chances that I can control myself if I turned into a great ape?' While waiting, Sora asked the system some questions. the Saiyan bloodline came with a tail, with this tail Sora could turn into a huge ape upon looking at a full moon, and his power level would increase by a shocking 10 times.

{the likely hood of the host controlling himself is... 40% thanks to host soul cultivation, it's even higher the longer the host remains in the ape state. what is the host thinking?} the system asked confused

'Super Saiyan 4 is gained when a Saiyan who is capable of going super Saiyan enters the great Ape Transformations and regains control. what I want to do is something like that, but within the base form of the ape, is a theory I always had while watching dragon ball GT, I want to put it to the test and see if I can gain a similar transformation similar to the Super Saiyan 4, but with the base form of the Great Ape.' Sora thought leaving the system quiet for some time.

'it's clear the Saiyan race is a monkey-like race. what if the golden hair transformation is the only path they could have taken, like them taking the human-like path? I want to take the path where the monkey and human-like forms are combined and become a true Saiyan.' Sora said

{The host idea isn't bad and might work. please go ahead and put the concept to work.} the system said supporting Sora's theory, Sora nodded and went on to wait for the mayor's father to arrive.

it didn't take long, and soon an old man who seemed as if he was over 100 years old walked up to Sora. although hold, his eyes were sharp, glaring at Sora like a tiger.

"I hear you wish to fight me?" the old man asked coldly, to which Sora nodded slightly. the old man looked at Sora for some time, before nodding and leading the way outside where they could fight.

Sora followed and went on to arrive outside the city, where the old man with his walking stick suddenly took in a deep breath. suddenly his weak and old body exploded with muscles, and his clothing grew becoming tight

"A body cultivator, your eyes were too lively for you to look as if you were a step away from death," Sora said with a smile, to which the old man sneered. those who cultivate their body have a greater lifespan than the average human, this is because they are using a lot of energy to strengthen their body, breathing strength back into their dying cells.

The old man jumped slightly as if remembering how to walk after so long without any movement. Sora got ready and placed his hands before him, and waited for the old man to make the first move, the old man didn't move right away. it's been 20 long years since he moved, so he was taking this time to remember...

Boom

Sora shot backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood. Sora quickly flipped, trying to stop himself, but the old man appeared before him with a fist. Sora quickly placed his hands in front of him to block, but the old man's fist was overwhelming, Sora was sent shooting back once more,

'interesting, the old man is a body and Qi refiner. they are all at level 10, and combined gave him a strength measurement of over 150.' Sora thought feeling his arms which were in huge pain, his bone was so close to cracking from that blow.

the strength of those at the first stage of cultivation went as this. for the Copper realm, Qi refinement, and the Soul refinement, the strength went as this

Level 1 Copper- 10 Fist

Level 2 Copper- 12 Fist

Level 3 Copper- 15 Fist

Level 4 Copper- 19 Fist

Level 5 Copper- 25 Fist

Level 6 Copper- 31 Fist

Level 7 Copper- 40 Fist

Level 8 Copper- 50 Fist

level 9 Copper- 62 Fist

Level 10 Copper- 80 Fist

The old man had a cultivation head that reached level 10 copper realm, and level 10 Qi refinement, when he combined those two energy from those cultivation realms, the old man could show a strength of 200 Fist, and his strength was growing by.

'This boy.' the old man thought with narrowed eyes seeing how Sora showed no fear, yet his eyes remained bright with the will to fight. disappearing once more, he attacked Sora, yet Sora hit the ground with his legs, and using the same movement technique he was using to move, Sora disappeared, leaving him stunned

the old man's eyes widened for a moment, but he quickly turned to block Sora's attack, catching Sora's fist, and with a wave, he slammed Sora into the ground. he raised his leg and stumped down upon Sora, but Sora moved dodging Sora by a hairs breath.

Sora spun, kicking the old man's leg, and knocking him off balance. Sora jumped up while spinning around, and slamming his fist into the old man's stomach, but the old man blocked this with ease, but he was sent slamming hard into the ground, creating a crater.

Sora jumped backward just as the old man was about to grab him before he disappeared, and like a wolf, he shot towards the old man, who launched himself off the ground and shot towards Sora.

the two clashed, but Sora was sent stumbling backward while holding his stomach in pain, Sora jumped to the side, dodging the old man's attack, Sora did a few backflips, getting far away from the old man, but the old man followed, appearing before Sora and punched Sora while he was in mid-air.

Seeing this, Sora fell backward, leading the fist to fly over. reaching out, Sora grabbed the fist, moved over it, and used it as support to slam his fist into the old man, sending him stumbling backward.

Sora flashed as soon as he touched the ground, and with a flash, he followed up with countless blows upon the old man, but the old man's defense was powerful, allowing him to withstand most of the blows, but he was sent stumbling backward. meanwhile, Sora's fist exploded with blows as he

'This brat is growing stronger,' the old man thought seeing how Sora was growing stronger and stronger with each blow. this was simple, this was a real battle unlike his father who would hold back, this old man saw him as a enemy. in a battle like this, it's when one could grow the fastest. Sora's energy control and energy merging capability were reaching were improving,

the old man wouldn't just stand there and take this, he too was improving, and once he caught his footing, he launched a counter, and quickly overpowered Sora. Sora's martial art capability was better than the old man, this is how he could land so many blows even though he was so much weaker, at the same time the old man was slow as it had been a long time since he did any form of movement,

with all of this, it gave Sora the chance to catch up to the old man. meanwhile, the Mayor matched in shock, as Sora who was only at level 3 Qi refinement, was fighting the mayor, someone who could fight someone above level 10 Qi refinement,

the battle was bloody, with Sora suffering the most injuries, but the old man was also injured, but not as much as Sora. but the body was coming to an end...

the old man suddenly laughed happily while jumping backward, a huge explosion of Qi came off him, forcing Sora to hold his ground to withstand the explosion. Sora looked at the old man who had managed to break through to level 1 Qi Sea,

"You were using me to break through," Sora said with a smile, the old man smiled mockingly at Sora. indeed, he used Sora to break through. at first, he was not sure if Sora was worthy, but after fighting him, he realized Sora's growth was high, and was even faster than his speed of recovering his strength,

under such pressure, the 20 years' worth of cultivation was not to waste as he broke through to level 1 Qi Sea. now his Qi would take the form of water, and with every breakthrough form now, it shall become denser and denser

"Haha, this is all over. you had suffered many injuries, and you might be talented, but even you can't go on... now knee and swear to be loyal to me." the old man said with a mocking smile, Sora looked at his bloody body for some time, before smiling.

"I never knew fighting was so fun. sure you grew stronger, but you should at most be able to show 600 fists, by then you reach that level of power, I will catch up." Sora said with bright eyes, making the old man's eyes narrow, but this was good.

he might be able to break through to level 2 Qi Sea and might even break through to level 1 Iron rank. So, the old man shot forward, his fist now holding 480 fist worth of power, Sora who had only 380 fists of power was greatly suppressed, forcing him to dodge not daring to take such blows, but it was hard for him to dodge each blows, Sora was forced to open his right eye, and close his left eye.

with his right eye now opened, Sora could better read the old man's movement, but still, it was hard for him to react. Sora took blow after blow, but he made sure to minimize the blows, but he was growing weaker and weaker, while the old man eat pills to restore his lost energy.

"Nimbus," Sora called out and jumped backward, shooting high into the sky. at the same time, a cloud shot down, catching Sora. the old man's eyes widened seeing this, and his face turned dark seeing Sora was planning on running away.

"Old man, I will come back within a week for round 2," Sora said with a smile, he was running way too low on energy, and couldn't grow anymore with the current injuries he had suffered, but this battle allowed his skills to improve greatly. he could now show a power level of 469,

The old man flashed, grabbing a huge tree and throwing it at Sora, hoping to knock him out of the ground, but the nimbus shot up, dodging the attacks and quickly disappearing. the old man's face was dark, this was of course bad, such a talent was something he didn't wish to run away from, and instead wishes to remain here and die.

But Sora was too talented, copied his fighting style, and adapted his fighting style to counter his, allowing him to hold on even when their power level had a deep gap, and allowing him to catch up. but Sora's injuries were starting to hold him down, so Sora choice to fall back, which was not good for him.

not saying anything more, he left and returned to his cultivation chamber, he needed to heal his injuries and try his best to break through.

{Host, why didn't you use the Destructo disc?} the system asked, if Sora could have used that he could have cleanly cut through the old man, even with his high defense.

"I'm using this as a chance for me to grow and improve, how can I grow if everything ends like that?" Sora asked calmly while rubbing herbs on his injuries, but these injuries were heavy and would need a few days to recover.

"I need to buy pills," Sora said softly, rubbing herbs on your injuries was good and quick for most injuries, but to bring out the most effective of these herbs, it was to turn them into pills, such pills can be 10 or even more times better than simply rubbing them upon one body.

"I wonder how huge of a breakthrough I will get with such injuries," Sora said with bright eyes, the Zenkai boost he would be high. maybe he could break through more than 3 levels,

{the breakthrough host gets through the Zenkai Boost ranges from 1 level to 10 levels, depending on the injuries. but the host has 3 cultivation systems, so the Zenkai would be divided between the 3,} the system said to which Sora nodded slightly, and sat down to better control the medical power of the herbs and to have it heal himself,
