Training 4

First Pov

The first three or four months trying to meditate ended up in me falling asleep or just waiting for something to happen but once I finally got a hang of it, time seemed to pass a lot faster. Meditation wasn´t like it was depicted in most books where you can 'look inside' and see the soul, it was more like a trance where you first had to deal with any distracting thoughts, either by solving its root or forgetting them, and once you did that you would have what was here called 'inner peace'. Honestly, I was often on the verge of giving up during the first few months but now I was glad I didn´t, this inner peace state was not only good for passing the time but also gave you an insanely clear mind and was kinda addicting. If that was how cultivators feel, I wouldn´t mind becoming one but I honestly doubted that they did, I couldn´t imagine murderhobos to not have distracted thoughts, if any thing they would call this state enlightenment or unity of heaven and man.

Time seemed to pass a lot easier while meditating and I was now 19 years old, so I have been meditating for six years, which was a lot longer than planned for and I haven´t even begun to recreate the water stream rock smashing fist. I wasn´t all too worried about that thought, my meditation wasn´t for nothing after all and my already huge understanding of the world grew even bigger. One of the things that I learned about was the flow of power, which was the core of tai chi, chi ryu and many other martial arts including the wsrsf. With the flow of power, I could deflect power at an angle where I would only receive 1/1000 of the impact, of course the bigger the power difference was, the smaller the angle I could safely deflect it at was.

With the flow of power, recreating the wfrsf was pretty easy, in fact it was so easy that my creation was a lot more advanced than the original, so I decided to give it a new name, The Flow. After practicing the flow for half a year and turning 20 while doing so, I decided I was finally time to return. I had now achieved everything at the Jade Palace and was now looking for worthy opponents to fight with, so I was going to leave it and travel for a bit. On a side note, it seemed that many masters, including Oogway, have finally noticed the world tree a few years ago and were now looking for a way to destroy it as they didn´t like the thought of being absorbed by it instead of going to the spirit realm.

I was currently standing in the courtyard opposite to a dozen kung fu master, including my former master. I had called all of them for a spar, not all came of course because some didn´t have time or just thought I was too arrogant to challenge them all at the same time and was a waste of their time. I took my stance and waited for someone to make the first move, I didn´t have to wait long as someone dashed at me with a bo staff over his head. I simply countered with my rights hand going past the left side of the staff and letting it slide along my forearm before hitting my first attacker in the face. The others didn´t wait anymore after this and also started attacking me, some used jabs, which I just parried to the side, some used kicks that I deflected upwards. It was actually these sorts of attacks that gave me the most trouble as weapons were, while more deadly, full of flaws, one example was the sword, while the edge was dangerous I could simply push its side lightly and change its trajectory without danger. 

The spar didn´t last long before everyone around me was either lying on the ground or unconscious. That was really disappointing, if there weren´t any better opponents out there, I might have to leave earlier than planned. I could theoretically just take the Wellspring now and leave but I was planning to take every opportunity from a world before leaving because it was highly unlikely that I would enter the same reality twice.

I was currently packing my things, which wasn´t a lot as I had most things in my inventory, one thing I might have forgotten to mention was that I couldn´t store things in a pocked space because that would also get erased when entering the Nothingness. I had previously tried to look for Oogway to ask if there were strong opponents around but shifu told me he was currently not here, he was probably trying to solve the mystery of the world tree.

A/N- Almost done with the world. I´m planning to go to Harry Potter next, it will probably be one of the longest Volumes as I want him to attend Hogwarts.
