Mastering the skills

James woke up in the morning as usual.

James: " Alexa , show inventory"

James wanted to save time as much as possible, because the more time he saved the faster he could progress.

{Inventory}

1. Rank 1 weapons

2. Combat skill training formation

3. Basic Space - Time formation

4. Unknown beast egg

James: " Alexa, open Basic Space - Time formation. "

[ Opening Space - Time formation... ]

The formation came out into his hands and the directions for setting up the formation flowed into his memory.

After about 5 minutes the formation was ready to use. He went to tell his mother that he would be doing closed door training and no one should be interrupting him. He also added that he would come out to have his meals.

When she heard she was shocked, this was the first time she was hearing something like this from her son. She could only believe that after the serious injury her son had an improved mentality and has decided to improve himself rather than simply fighting with others.

She was happy to hear this. So she gave him permission.

After getting permission from his mother, he quickly went back to his room and locked the door. He did not wanted to reveal everything so soon. He would tell others about the formation one day when he had become more powerful and also he had to invent some new story to tell them.

He entered the formation and began doing some basic stretching exercises. He sat down for some time to rest.

James: " Alexa open inventory "

James: " Eh! Just 4 days. Is this even possible? "

Alexa: " Don't worry Master , I believe you can do it. Don't give up before you try. "

James: " You are correct Alexa. How can know whether it is possible or not without even trying.

James was determined to face such a challenge.

He quickly activated the formation and selected the terrain then he imagined his opponent with a power level of 9th stage of Body Tempering. He then thought about the technique he wanted to master.

" Basic combat skills "

Suddenly, his simulated opponent started closing up on him then it started attacking him. He was unprepared for the attack and got hit easily. In this formation even there would be no actual injury there would pain according to the intensity of the attack faced.

After getting hit the opponent returned to its previous position and came again. This time James was prepared he faced two to three attacks but was defeated in the fourth attack.

The process repeated again and again and each time James managed to face more attacks from his opponent. In the end after an intense battle he finally defeated his opponent.

He sat down feeling very tired. His body was covered with sweat.

It took him an entire day inside the formation to master the skill. He got out of the formation and went to take a bath. This was the first time that James was tired enough to speak.
