8 Chapter 8: Shirou's Enhancement of Strength

Some time passed.

Three months had passed since Shirou had absorbed the four soul rings for his two martial souls and until now Shirou had still not added a third soul ring for the two martial souls. After the absorption of the four soul rings was completed, Shirou's physical fitness which previously could withstand pressures of up to 500 kilograms had increased to 700 kilograms. However, all of that was purely Shirou's physical strength, if coupled with the use of soul power, Shirou could withstand the pressure of up to 3500 kilograms with ease.

During those three months, Shirou's training focused heavily on the aspects of physical fitness and control of his soul strength and martial soul. Every morning until noon, Shirou would focus on increasing control over his soul force and martial soul. Shirou's training was based on the training he had seen in various anime he had watched in his previous world.

The training included climbing trees using his feet, walking on water, walking silently, and making his soul force form a shield like a very thin armor around his body. As for his martial soul training, Shirou trained them by always using his martial soul and making various manifestations of objects that came to his mind.

As a result, during three months of intense training to gain perfect control over his soul power and martial soul, Shirou managed to do it. Shirou had also tried to develop his various techniques and fighting styles as soon as he finished gaining control over his soul power and martial soul.

Furthermore, when he entered the afternoon, Shirou would immediately return home and go straight to the practice room to train and improve his physical fitness. After the process of absorbing the previous 4 soul rings, Shirou's fitness could withstand a pressure of up to 700 kilograms. After Shirou started to improve his physical fitness again, Shirou's fitness or physical strength had also increased until he could withstand the pressure of 1000 kilograms very easily.

After all the training that Shirou designed was finished, he would drag his tired body to the bathroom to get the medicinal bath he prepared before doing the physical exercise. The medicinal bath that Shirou always used was also very beneficial for him. Not only restore fatigue, stamina, muscles and also improve appearance. With the medicinal bath, Shirou wasn't afraid of the problem of dark wounds from training. This is what causes him to be able to develop until now.

Shirou's usual schedule of doing various jobs in the study room had been changed to evening. Every time Shirou finished getting treatment at the medicinal bath, Shirou would go straight to the study to relax writing novels, designing weapons, and doing various other things. If he was bored, Shirou would go to the lounge to play games, watch movies or maybe lie in the yard while watching the stars in the sky.

********

Notting City forest gorge.

The forest gorge of Notting City was a location that was 25 kilometers from Shirou's house. This area has a very large area and is a very suitable location to practice developing various abilities with very strong destructive power. Shirou, who always wants to try the abilities that he develops, always comes to this location because he doesn't want to destroy the yard and the area around the house which is very beautiful.

In the middle of the canyon, we can see Shirou who has arrived at the location wearing white sports clothes with a combination of sky blue colors, long hair tied back, while closing his eyes to focus himself.

" Let's get started" Shirou sighed as he opened his eyes.

Shirou raised his right hand forward while focusing his soul force in front of his palm to form a blue ball that slowly started to grow to the size of a basketball.

"Cero" Shirou mumbled softly pronouncing the name of the ability he cast.

The blue ball that was in front of Shirou's palm immediately shot at high speed towards the cliff in front of him. The speed of the blue ball was so fast that it was 3 times the speed of sound.

BOOM!!!!!!...

An extremely powerful explosion instantly occurred as soon as the blue ball Shirou released hit cliff. The cliff was immediately destroyed and a very large hole was seen due to Shirou attack.

"Not bad~" Shirou was very satisfied with the impact of the attack released by the technique he developed based on one of the anime he had watched in the previous world.

The technique developed by Shirou is called Cero. Cero is an ability that focuses its soul power to form a ball that has an explosive attack impact. The strength of this ability depends on how much soul power is injected by the user. For the attack Shirou had launched earlier, if it was a Soul Sect that received the attack, even with him releasing a martial soul, the soul sect would likely be heavily injured after receiving a direct hit.

"Let's try another skill" Shirou muttered as he immediately released his first martial soul. Shirou's body was instantly surrounded by an extremely powerful lightning current without any soul rings appearing. Shirou instantly increased the output of the lightning current around his body as he suddenly disappeared from his location and appeared in front of the cliff while focusing his lightning power in his right hand creating a blue spear with a length of 5 meters.

"Lightning Technique ~ Shirou Style ~ Lightning Spear"

Shirou said as he threw the lightning spear he made towards the front of the cliff. The spear with a very strong lightning current quickly hit the cliff in front.

BOOM!!!!!!...

The explosion along with the shockwave instantly hit the surrounding area after Shirou released his technique. Shirou with his speed immediately retreated a few meters from his previous position while his body was on the ground with his right hand clenched while being pushed backward.

"Lightning Technique ~ Shirou Style ~ Lightning Dragon Emperor Strike"

Shirou's right hand was instantly launched towards the front, covered by a very strong lightning current. Shirou manifested his lightning resembling an enormous eastern dragon directly striking the cliff in front of him.

BOOM!!!!!!...

Another explosion and shockwave occurred due to Shirou's attack. The cliff that Shirou was aiming for had a very deep hole and destruction everywhere. Shirou didn't stop there, Shirou disappeared back from that location and appeared a few meters from the ground while floating in the air.

Shirou raised both his hands up as he released his second martial soul along with his first martial soul. On top of Shirou's two palms, a ball of white fire slowly started to form until it had a diameter of 7 meters.

"Fire Technique ~ Shirou Style ~ Flame Emperor"

Shirou immediately released his technique downwards. The fireball with a very hot temperature and enormous size slowly began to approach the ground. Shirou did not stay in that location, he immediately disappeared again and appeared 500 meters from his previous position.

BOOM!!!!!!...

Another explosion occurred after the white fireball that Shirou let out earlier hit the ground. An enormous shockwave hit the surrounding area. Shirou who was 500 meters away from the attack site, also received a sizable shockwave. However, with his physical fitness and invisible armor forming around Shirou's body, the shockwave had no impact on him.

As soon as the shockwave disappeared, Shirou immediately disappeared from his location and appeared beside a hole that had a diameter of 50 meters and a depth of 10 meters. This hole was the impact of the attack made by the white fireball that Shirou released earlier.

Seeing the impact of the attack on the ability he released, Shirou nodded happily as he pulled back his martial soul and exhaled as he said, "Fuuu~ My soul force and martial soul control abilities have reached the perfect stage. It's time for me to absorb the third soul ring for the first and second martial souls. Then, let's go back." Shirou immediately controlled his soul force towards his feet and slowly his body started to fly back towards his home.

During those three months of training, Shirou himself had not only developed his fighting skills and techniques. But Shirou also develops various other abilities such as the ability to fly and the ability to make armor that is not visible throughout his body which is always active at all times.

On top of that, the abilities that Shirou had previously released were all abilities that were controlled by how much soul force he injected. The more soul power Shirou injected into his abilities, the more terrifying the impact of the attack would be.

For the abilities that Shirou unleashed earlier, all of those attacks could threaten a level 59 Soul King even if they had unleashed their martial soul. Especially for Shirou's last attack, which was his Flame Emperor ability. The power of that attack would instantly threaten a Soul Emperor even if they unleashed their martial soul.

With his flying ability, it only took him 3 minutes to return home. Arriving home, Shirou immediately went to the kitchen to prepare food for himself to eat this morning as well as the food he would eat after the process of absorbing the third soul ring for his two martial souls.
