Chapter 11: Virtual simulation chamber and New techniques

Giant eye consortium can be considered to be the best organization around the Agar city. The establishment is just a branch of the main consortium located in the capital of the Phoenix country, phoenix city.

It is not an easy thing to sign a B level contract with such a giant and that in itself represents his aptitude.

Even though having Innate strength is a big advantage, that in itself doesn't warrant a B level contract from an elite organization.

Even though Allen was curious about it, he never really loved to pry into the secrets of others. If Randal wanted to say it, he would and that's how they always dealt with.

In the same way, looking at Allen who was asking about combat experience, even though Randal had many questions in his heart, he didn't ask anything about it and just gave him guidance.

After all, as his close friend, how could Randal fail to notice the changes that Allen had gone through these days. Even though Allen attributed them to effect of the high grade potion, Randal knew that here was something more to it.

"I think it is better for you to go to the virtual simulation chamber before going anywhere near the wilderness. Experience the fear of death and overcome it. Only then can you display all your strength when you fight against the monsters in the wilderness." Randal said solemnly.

"But, where can i find a virtual simulation chamber now?" Allen asked back.

"I know you don't have the access to virtual simulation chamber. Did you think I did not think about it? Wait a minute." saying so, he went straight to a worker in the school and borrowed his mobile.

He went to a side and started talking to someone over the phone with a serious face. After 2 minutes, he came back and patted Allen on his shoulders.

"Alright! It's settled. Tomorrow 8PM, meet me at the Giant eye consortium building. I borrowed a 2 hour slot of the simulator for a week and you can train your combat by fighting against the monsters in there." Randal said joyfully.

"Thank you, Randal!" Allen replied solemnly. He knew that such a slot was very precious and it must have cost Randal considerably.

In the afternoon, this time, Allen also attended the physical training classes, much to the surprise of Alkom, the teaching instructor of the physical training class.

Alkom is a middle aged man with strong vigor and powerful gait and looked at the students like a lion looking at its subjects.

He mainly teaches how to incorporate the academic teachings into combat. For example, stimulating which muscles will have a punch with higher strength and which muscles will have an impact on agility, speed and defense.

After explaining everything, he will have students perform these actions and drive them until they succeed. Even though this method is a torture for some students, it never fails to provide good results.

Though, most of this knowledge is available in the internet and is not some valuable technique, most of the low level combat techniques are based on this basic knowledge.

The main aim of this physical training is to burn these actions into the muscle memory so even when a student punches involuntarily, he uses all his strength without wasting his time on deciding how to properly execute a punch. After all, in combat, the opponent doesn't just wait for you to complete your thought process.

Taking a simple action of punching a plank of wood. Repeating the same action again and again, it will help the students execute a punch that will cause the most damage to the wood while reducing the rebound force.

With the help of knowledge regarding the stimulation of specific muscles, the number of repetitions required for such a painful exercise can be greatly reduced.

Of course, this is not all that is taught in the physical training class. The government provides every high school with some basic martial arts manuals and the instructors will help the students practice and master them.

As Allen had joined halfway through though, he could not ask the teacher to repeat the class only for him. So, he just collected a copy of the free martial arts and placed them in his bag.

Soon, Allen started the exercise to stimulate his muscles with other students and time passed by slowly.

After an hour, Allen started feeling tired and his muscles felt like they were on fire. Just when he was about to stop, suddenly there was sense of coolness form the muscles and it felt like someone was massaging him.

Just as he was enjoying the feeling, a familiar pain came to him and Allen immediately knew that his muscles are being reformed again. He was stunned and hurriedly stopped the physical training.

As he was only stimulating some particular muscles, only they were in the process of reforming and other parts are being normal and process stopped as soon as he stopped exercising.

He didn't understand the reason for forging even without performing the muscle refining volume but could only attribute to the excessive stimulation carried out by him.

He heard that when the ancient humans just started practicing the cultivation, muscle forging was done this way. Though this process is simple, the main drawback of this process is that it will only train selective muscles and will do nothing about the rest of the body.

The problem with Allen was that, when others are tired, they will just have to rest their muscles and they will slowly recover but with the presence of spirit energy in his muscles, as soon as they are fatigues, the spirit energy is being drawn towards them and the process of reforming will start again.

Allen understood one thing that he cannot perform overly exhaustive exercises before he done with completely reforming his muscles.

So, after resting for 10 minutes, he went back to his class and opened the free techniques he obtained form the school.

There are four techniques offered by the school for students in muscle refining realm. They are the Rapid fist, Muscle coat and the balance foot each one respectively for Attack, defense and movement.

The rapid fist is an attack type martial art which mainly concentrates on fist speed.

The action of doing a simple punch is studied by scientists and by stimulating some particular muscles at a particular time, the speed of this fist will reach the body limits and the resulting increase of kinetic energy will increase the impact of the fist. It is said that there is an improved version of this rapid fist called bullet fist. A punch that is fired almost like a bullet.

The muscle coat is just as it's name implies. By stimulating the muscles to their utmost, they will become like a hard membrane that can protect the internal organs from any impacts.

As for the balance foot, this mainly teaches how to move in the best way that so that the body will maintain its balance in every kind of posture. It demands a lot from the muscles and bones in the body.

After reading the 3 manuals, Allen understood the basic principle of the 3 martial arts and tried practicing them.

He first started started with the Rapid fist as he felt that it was lot in similar to the stone fist he had been practicing over the past week.

Even though he couldn't perform the stone fist appropriately even now, the main reason for that is that the Stone fist being a peak level 1 technique, demands a lot from his body and only at the complete body refining realm can he really perform it properly.

But looking at the rapid fist, as a martial art designed for people at Muscle refining realm, he could easily understand the essence of it. Soon, he started executing rapid fist according to the instructions.

Every time he executed a punch, he would stop for a movement and think about the punch he just executed and then punch again. After some time he felt that he was getting the essence of it. He was not too surprised by it though but was suspicious that there was something wrong with it.
