The feeling of sudden surge of power is something that anyone is addicted to. I could spend ages, years, doing this.
It is an indescribable, unthinkable feeling. But now is not the time for that. I needed to hunt for my livelihood, and I wanted something specific, fish.
Smiling, I, with my clothes, jumped into the sea without caring. I didn't have to hold my breath, let alone worry about shortness of breath.
I don't know how it works, if my lung was modified or something, but that's not important at all. What matters is that it works.
Feeling the resistance of the water, I thought it would be a good idea to move my workouts deeper. However, I didn't turn off pressure resistance while descending, so my body didn't feel any different. It just made it harder to move, but it was such a minor difficulty that it hardly counted as difficulty.
Since my goal was not to train, I activated Ki flight and telekinesis enhancement, my body crossed the sea to the depths quickly.
This time, I didn't commit the stupidity of not activating Ki Sense, so I already knew my target. A fish that had the same level of power as me.
I got to him quickly, it wasn't too deep after all, the monsters at the bottom were... Just too strong for me without using any power up.
I saw the monster. It was kind of dark so I couldn't see him well. But it wasn't the same from him to me. He was a normal fish, nothing special.

The only thing that was different were its purple scales that seemed to glow in the little light that reached them.
He seemed to look directly at me, when he opened his mouth and a purple Ki sphere shot towards me like a bullet.
Ignoring my sudden surprise at the first time I've encountered an animal/monster that has the ability to manipulate Ki, I forced my flight to the side.
The Ki Sphere passed by quickly, forming bubbles and a small swirl in its path.
I looked at the fish only for another orb to come towards me. Having already come out of my stupor, I moved my hand forward and a Ki Sphere was thrown as well.
They met and an underwater explosion was the result. The sound of bubbles and a faint sound of explosion reached my ears. Instead of dust to cloud my vision, here were bubbles.
Before I could see anything, however, one sphere came out faster than the others from inside the bubble. The sphere collided with my face. The explosion knocked me back, which I prevented from going further back in flight.
I barely had time to look back at the fish before another orb was aimed at me. I dodged because I was a little far away and I couldn't wait to be the victim of another attack again.
My body shot like a torpedo into the water, reaching the fish almost instantly, I grabbed its mouth to try and close it before its Ki Blast was released.
But it was too late, by the time I touched his mouth, before he could close it, the Ki Blast was fired point-blank into my hand.
Thanks to the Shell skill, however, even though the explosion hit me in full, I only had scratches on my body. My hand, however, was in living flesh, my skin was destroyed with the explosion so close.
Feeling the pain and sting of the wound, I stopped myself from letting it go as I used my other hand on the fish and held it by what should have been its neck. If fish have one.
A Ki blast was released from my palm, even stronger than the one that destroyed my hand, all concentrated on the neck part.
Another explosion followed, along with a white flash, the color of my Ki. The explosion blew a hole in the monster's neck, but it still looked alive, maybe it's its scales.
He turned at once, his tail coming towards me with a force and speed that this fish should not have. I crossed my arms in defense, weathering the blow that knocked me back a little into the water. The fish, however, took advantage of the moment to move away, and when it was at a reasonable distance, it opened its mouth.
Like a machine gun, sphere after sphere came towards me. Each clashing with my arm crossed in defense. Although they weren't as potent as the first ones the fish released, the numbers made up for it.
I felt my skin peel and break with each stroke, he pushed me back little by little.
For a moment, I wanted to use one of my forms, however... I chose not to! I still had a chance.
Obviously, if my life was in danger, I would use them.
I felt more and more pain in my arm as my flesh was more and more exposed. If completely exposed, I would be more fragile and probably my arms would be useless.
How do I counterattack? He is not giving space!
Think... Think...
And so, I thought of a way. A way to fight back. My mind focused on Ki Sense, the exact location of the fish.
I didn't need to put my fingers to my forehead, as that was only said to improve concentration, which I didn't need as I had full control of my mind. For a moment I seemed to get a third perspective.
Using Instant Transmission, I vanished from the spot, appearing behind the fish, which didn't seem to notice me, to which it continued spewing its attacks.
He only noticed when the impacts stopped happening, but it was too late.
Doing something I should have done from the beginning, I touched his body, my telekinesis enveloped him from the inside out, and all I needed was to shake his organs slightly using telekinesis.
His body went limp lifeless. But I couldn't celebrate.
A monster was coming, following the scent of blood, probably mine.
His Ki was so great that I could probably only defeat him if I used Ikari mode, which I honestly wouldn't use at the moment.
I had to increase my base power first. I grabbed the dead fish and shot upward with enormous speed through the flight.
Next time, I'll hunt with Instant transmission instead of going to the target. At least I got some valuable experience.
I smiled wryly at the excruciating pain plaguing both my arms and my left palm.
As soon as I left the sea, I threw the fish on the ground, covering it with dirt, but I didn't care. To clean up was as simple as doing nothing.
Instead, I sat on the floor. My arms itched with pain. My hand too. I needed someone's regeneration. Majin Buu? Piccolo? Cell? Any of those were too far gone to happen at this point.
Ahhh, this f**ckin pain!
.....
Again, that feeling that I'm missing something.
....
Is there any way to heal me? Heal... Heal... The only thing I can think of is the time Majin Buu healed a child's blindness.
But I've never seen him use it on himself... AH! There is one!
Piccolo once used a technique to heal his neck, didn't he? Yes, I'm sure!
Maybe I can try?
Bringing my undamaged hand closer to my damaged hand, I moved my Ki with that intention.
It doesn't matter if I was doing it right or wrong, as the notification popped up just as I expected.
|Acquired skill (Wound Healing)|
That! I knew Piccolo had already used it!
Now that I think about it, would this be the same technique as Dende? I don't know...
Using the new skill, I touch the injured area again, this time, the Ki makes its way naturally.
A golden aura covers my hand as I feel my Ki being sucked up quickly. My skin heals, becoming like new, but in return, a lot of Ki was used.
Now I understand why Piccolo doesn't use it much... No, seriously, I still don't understand why Piccolo forgets such a convenient skill.
Touching the area of both injured arms, I perform the same technique. The golden aura covered both of them and in exchange for almost all of my Ki, I was completely healed.
Well, at least the worst ones, because the scratches from the Ki blasts on the rest of my body were still there. And I wasn't going to spend any more Ki for that.
Getting up, I catch the fish, and before washing it in the sea, my tail penetrates its body, and I feel a new addition to my strengths, unfortunately, no new skills. After washing it in the sea, using a table I made with magic, next to a knife also made in the same way, I start to prepare the fish.
After cleaning it and cutting it correctly, I decide to bake it. Taking a big pot, because the fish was as big as my own body, that is, about 50 centimeters, it had a lot of meat.
Can't wait to grow up soon.
Grabbing some sticks to start a fire, I place the pot on top and launch a small ball of Ki from my fingertips. It enters the kindling and causes a small, insignificant explosion, which is enough to light it.
Another thing I've learned in the few months I've been here.
While it was baking, I opened the status, to admire. After all, it's always good to see how the numbers have gone up.
