Physiques

Physiques.

They can be considered as gifts or blessings. They gave their holder a unique advantage over the rest of humanity. Some Physiques gave their holders an increased elemental affinity whereas some Physiques gave their holder a better body.

Physiques holders were an extremely rare commodity. The moment a Physique holder was revealed, the five great sect would scramble to recruit the talent. A Physique is counted as a unique power due to the fact that no two Physiques could be the same. Most Physique holder tended to avoid the Origin Sword sect and Overlord Body sect if their Physiques were not related to the sword or the body respectively.

Physique holder were born with their powers. Physiques were considered as innate talents. It was not something that could be acquired. No amount of effort would lead to the creation of a Physique.

Wang Weisheng's word were incredibly surprising due to the fact that Physiques were not acquired but innate. Yet the Absolute Sword Paragon was radiating confidence for some reason.

"You do not believe it can be done right, kid."

"It has never been done before. Many people tried and failed. History speaks for itself."

"Physiques are innate powers that a selected few are born with. What we are trying to achieve a little different. We are going to try and bring your compatibility with the Absolute Sword technique to the maximum in such a way it becomes similar to a Physique. While other Physiques tend to increase elemental compatibility, the acquired Physique we are tying to achieve will bring your compatibility with the sword to the maximum possible state. A Physique that surpasses all known Physiques. Achieving something that has never been done before is my specialty."

"It's going to be extremely hard to do something like that and I have to be the one who does the handwork."

"Considering what you may achieve in the end, do you not think it will be worth it?"

"Sigh. Let's do this, shall we?" said Lucas as he closed his eyes thinking of the hardships he would experience for the next six years.

ONE YEAR LATER

In the coastal village of Tenga situated in the Shenhie province under the Infinite Scripture sect.

An old man and a five year old kid could be seen standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea.

"Jump in."

"What! Are you mad, master? Waves of this intensity will kill me."

"Bah. Just jump in, kid. If it looks like you are going to die, I will make sure to save you."

"There is no need to do this, old man. Let's that continue our daily routine. No need for unnecessary risks, right."

"Tch."

Wang Weisheng grabbed Lucas by the back of the neck.

"Master, we can talk this out. Don't do anything rash. I'm only a five year old."

"Climb up the cliff within a year. I will be waiting for you here."

"What! This cliff is freaking tall! Its got to be at least two kilometers tall! How will I fucking survive? I'm a human being as well!"

"You will have to figure it out by yourself. Bye."

Wang Weisheng lifted Lucas up and chucked him into the sea.

"Daaaaaaammmmnnnnn yyooooouuuuu!!!"

SPLASH!!

"It is finally time to relax. I have a whole year to enjoy life in this beautiful coastal village."

**********

Six months later.

Lucas reached out his hands and grabbed a hold of soil on top of the cliff. He pulled himself up on to the top of the cliff.

THUD!

And collapsed on the ground.

'Finally, proper land. The soil smells so good. Everything is so much more better here. The light breeze and smell of freshly roasted chi...'

He abruptly his head only to see Wang Weisheng leisurely sitting on a chair next to a fire over which a whole chicken was being roasted. He looked like a retired officer enjoying a secluded lifestyle.

"You made it much faster than I expected you to make it."

Lucas completely ignored the old man. He only had eyes for the chicken which was slowly getting ready as the aromas entered his nose. Lucas had survived on fish and boiled water for six months. The fish tasted so bad that he had vomited several times before he got used. He slept in small naturally formed caves in the side of the cliff before he started climbing again. Many a times, he would loss his grip and fall back into the sea only to start his climb again.

Wang Weisheng could see that Lucas only had eyes on the chicken. Lucas looked crazy enough to fight the Absolute Sword Paragon for the chicken.

"Ha, you can have it, kid. I do not feel like eating today."

As soon as he heard those words, Lucas pounced onto the chicken and start devouring it like a animal. The heat didn't bother him in the least.

'Kid, you do not understand what you have just achieved. You survived on Grim poison fish for 6 months. You unbelievable immunity system managed to come up with a antidote for one of the most deadliest poisons in the world as if it was nothing. You are making me extremely greedy, kid. Just how far can you go. If your body is able to keep this up. You could be the first person in the entirety of Azure to achieve the Thousand poison immunity body after almost a thousand years.'

Wang Weisheng looked at Lucas with a crazed joy in his eyes. He was going to let the kid do whatever he wanted for a month before starting training again. But now he changed his mind. Every second of the time he spent with the kid was important. He didn't want to waste even a second of that time. He was going to up the difficulty of the training that was to come. Although it would be painful for the kid, he decided to go forward with his plans. After all, Lucas was a grown man in a child's body. As long as he was careful not to harm the body, he could push him as far as he wanted.

"Old man, you are thinking of doing something evil, right. I can feel it." said Lucas as he cleaned the last bit of chicken, leaving only the bones.

"I will give you today to get ready. We are moving to the largest forest in the whole of Azure tomorrow, the Du forest. There is a large variety of beasts in the forest. You will be able to taste the meat of different types of beasts. I can not wait to see your reaction." said Wang Weisheng with a smile on his face.

'Thankfully, he does not know why the forest is known to be dangerous. The entire forest is completely filled with poisonous beasts. There are 416 known varieties of poison in the Du forest. It is a forbidden area for a reason. Sorry kid, but you are going to suffer a bit for the next few months. After all, I will have to make you adapt to the 416 types of poison found in the Du forest.'

"What! I just climbed the freaking cliff. Don't I get a few days break at least?"

"We do not have time to waste, kid. We will leave at the strike of dawn tomorrow."
