Leonidas walked to the first shelfs containing different scrolls, he wanted to find a scroll that compliments his claws and hand to hand combat.
And he found one made by master crocodile, the name was called feral beast flow.
The technique itself was not a combat style like kung fu or karat but a type of flow that ensures weapon, body, and innate ability synergies.
Master crocodile used a two-edged weapon, but this was not only his weapon as he had a strong tail, sharp claws, and sharp teeth.
He mixed all his abilities together creating a type of flow the feral beast flow.
I took that as the first scroll and kept glancing at the shelfs, another scroll took my attention and that was weapon throwing scroll, it shows how to weigh weapons differently and when you master it any weapon can be a throwing star or a spear.
The third and last for the day was counterattack scroll, it shows how utilise openings but mentions that this needs to be practised and honed through battle.
I figure that these 3 would make a good foundation so I head out to train, on my way to the training yard I see 5 familiar faces.
I bow down slightly," I thank the 5 master for saving me that day, if you have anyway I can repay you…. Errr besides money I will be happy to oblige."
The 5 just stand there with wide eyes contemplating his new appearance.
"damn dude you look majestic as fuck Leonidas." Said mantis as he hoped on his shoulder.
"so how do you feel? After the pool of sacred tears trail." tigress said as she examined his body.
"I feel great matter of fact I was just about to test my new strength, my bady trembles and begs for a release sooo….anyone interested in enlightening an apprentice?" Leonidas said peaking everyone's curiosity.
"I will do it!" tigress almost didn't let him finish his sentence but took notice that she seems fidgety.
"its settled let head to the yard." As they all went down.
Vipress decided to bring something up.
"so Leonidas we tracked the poisons purchase channels since we got no antidote yet and we found a general search area for the culprit. We were on our way to report to shifu but it can wait, really not looking forward to the swamp land hu…" tigress taped vipress and signalled her to keep quiet as Leonidas might do something about it.
Leonidas thought about it' of course I will deal with this myself the swamp land is fairly far, I need supplies and permission to go there alone, it will be a step up for me to go into master stage because tai lungs time is near, soon oogway will have his vision and become ping petals and I need to be ready.'
As I reach the training ground the others stand back so they can watch, this stage tests reflexes as many holes are in the walls most of them tainted with paralysis darts, the dart itself is not dangerous and many of them are also not that dangerous since only apprentice and masters use this arena, not getting hit or grazed is the objective as with every hit and graze your speed and reaction time will be lower so the paralysis poison.
Monkey stands near the edge and activates a mechanism, soon I hear creaking noises and.
*WHOOSH*
I see an arrow fly by my head, I immediately go into a stance.
"puff"
"Puff"
"puff"
"Puff"
Arrows start coming out at increasing rate.
I dodge left and right, duck and jump.
Time goes on none of the arrows could even touch me so far.
Tigress looks at me and smirks while saying" monkey ramp it up for him."
"next level is ours; I don't think he can handle it." Monkey says shaking his head.
"just do it! I will take responsibility." Tigress says while monkey reluctantly ramps it up.
The number of arrows increased considerably but Leonidas was holding out, but at this rate he will tire him self out, masters of kung fu use flows, types of arts that alter someone's movement, in turn all movements because faster and more smooth, with slight to no deviations it came be said that they are efficient killers but biggest of all is they don't waste stamina this is important because masters can fight each other for days and when you are fighting for days stamina management becomes key to victory.
Leonidas is only testing his new strength with no knowledge in flows what so ever, the reason he is doing well is because he is relying on his instincts and over using them can be very taxing on his concentration it is only a ,matter of time until…
*puff*
*thud*
He gets hit.
Leonidas looked at his backhand with an arrow piercing through his palm, the reason was he was too late to move his head and had to use his palm to block, this took half a second to register as he remembered other arrows are making their way towards him.
