'Based on my physical stats, I'm three times as strong as a normal, healthy adult. It's just fascinating though how fast I develop them. It might have something to do with being a Saiyan. Nevertheless, I need to finish up this quest. This is taking me so long, it's frustrating.' Being bogged by the limits of a child's physique, Caol is getting a little bit irritated on how long the first quest was taking him. 'If the first quest is already like this, how hard will be the next ones?'
"Granny, I'll rest for a bit before continuing my training. Can you tell me more about the martial path and how I can reach the Martial Ancestor realm?"
"Caol, always so eager. The martial path is a very direct and straightforward path to take. It needs determination and hard work. Talent is a good thing if you use it well. Practitioners of the martial path enhance the human body with energy, allowing it to break through the mortal fetters. For now, I will only tell you about the Martial Disciple, Martial Artist, and Martial Master realms. All three of them are divided into 9 stages. For you to be considered at the first stage of the Martial Disciple ealm, you need to be able to carry a 100 jin cauldron. This test is a very crude way of discerning the stages. For every 100 jin more, you go up another stage, until you reach the 900th mark, signifying the peak of the Martial Disciple realm."
"This also shows you that even if you are the peak of the Martial Disciple realm, if you ever be careless in a fight against a first stage Martial Disciple, your chances of being killed are high. For example, it only takes about 10 jin of force to collapse the arteries behind your windpipe, and about 30 jin to crush it as your neck is a very fragile place. That being said it is more about control and less about being stronger. That's why never, ever get careless in a fight. Never underestimate anybody at the Martial Disciple stage." Caol nodded at Granny Yu.
"Now, it is a different thing when you are at the Martial Artist realm as this is when you can start learning about techniques. A very common one is the {Iron Shirt} technique. This is a technique in which you circulate the energy within your body in different important spots to harden it but this type of utilization is very crude. An ingenious way of using this without wasting energy is to react faster than your opponent, and when you are about to get hit, predict the section of the body you are sure you're getting hit at, then utilize it there."
Caol was ruminating and comprehending some words that Granny Yu was saying. It was a very direct concept and easy to learn. 'I have about 3.4 strength right now, I'm guessing that 1 point in strength is equal to 100 jin. If that's the case then I can be considered a third stage Martial Disciple.'
[The host is correct about being equal to a third stage Martial Disciple, however, practitioners of the martial path use energy to break through every stage. As host has a Saiyan body, the host has an easier time breaking through stages compared to a human. Humanity is limited by their physique and could not compare to a Saiyan body. Of course, this is only applicable to those who do not have a spiritual root as they walk a path of remodelling their body to perfection.]
'I get it, I have a huge head start against people practicing the martial path because of this Saiyan body. Better not put it to waste.' Caol looked at Granny Yu and said, "So Granny, how can I become a Martial Ancestor then?"
"Haha Caol, that's way too far in the future. If you can reach the Martial Ancestor realm when you are 50 years old, then you are considered very talented."
'Whoa, that's way too long. Fortunately, I'll be heading a similar direction as the martial path with the application of qi in the Kame Style Martial Arts.'
"Alright then Granny, I promise I'll have a Martial Ancestor's strength way before 50. That is my goal. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go back to practice."
"Whatever you say, Caol." Granny Yu closed her eyes and started meditating while Caol went back and started his sit-ups."
2 weeks later...
'YES! I did it!' A young boy can be seen doing a dab near a cave.
[Host has completed Quest 1 and will thus be rewarded with the following: Newbie gift x1, Kame Style Martial Arts, access to the system shop and quest board.]
[The host has also unlocked the system inventory. You can get anything you get from the system here, but can never put anything foreign into the inventory.]
'Alright system, open the Newbie gift for me.' Caol was super excited as he has been waiting for this day for so long.
[Opening Newbie gift...]
[Host has acquired the following: Senzu beans x3, Customizable gi x1, Gravity bracelet x2]
'SENZU BEANS! I get to have three, which basically means three lives. System, what does the gravity bracelet do?'
[Each gravity bracelet creates a very precise force field on the host's body and can be modified to change the host's gravity up to 50 times. It is a good auxiliary tool to enhance the host's body as just opening it creates pressure which excercises each and every part of the host's body.]
'I see, so that means more training huh? I can't help it. I wanna be as strong as Goku fast.'
'System, how can I get the Kame Style Martial Arts? Does Master Roshi come with it?'
[The host can just command me to imprint the techniques inside the host's mind. The system can also compile it into a book form as imprinting it directly harms the user's soul.]
'I think the book idea might be the best option for me. It can also save me from questions from Granny Yu and I can just say that I have my own fortuitous encounter and chanced upon the technique. System, compile it into a book.' Caol thought about the options for a while before finally picking the second option.
[Compiling Kame Style Martial Arts...]
[The system has successfully compiled it into a book form and the host can directly get it from the system inventory.]
'Sweet, I'll put that aside from now as I still need to explore the unlocked options from the system.'
'System, open the shop please.'
[System shop opening...]
