Chapter 8 : First-Level Martial Apprentice

The family ate the usual rich meal due to Tian's hunt, which caused Ruru's stomach to swell with excitement, as she hadn't eaten this much meat to be full in a long time

Then the brothers returned to Tian's room while Wan went to help her aunt

" Tian ! I heard that you were bullied by that bastard Long Hai ? "

Ruru sat in front of Tian and examined his Body after remembering what Wan had said earlier, and a dangerous red light flashed in her eyes

How could outsiders bully her family ?

" Oh, don't worry ! It's over and we've got the proper compensation ! "

Tian waved his hand indifferently and then turned to her

" The most important thing now is … "

" Aaah ! "

" Tian !! What is this exercise, it's too painful ! "

" Bear with it, pay attention to your breathing ! Don't lose your focus ! "

There was a faint smile on Tian's face but his eyes were staring at Ruru's postures with intense concentration for fear that she might make a mistake and hurt herself

And … yes !

He decided to teach Ruru, Wan, and Jia the postures of the first part of Asura's body

In this world, in order to build his own organization, he only has these three relatives, and he has some good things, so how could he forget them while he benefits alone ?

Just as Ruru chose to give him the Body Strengthening powder instead of using it for herself, he would do the same and even more for them

Tian taught Ruru the poses he could perform at this stage

Out of 50 poses, Tian was able to perform and master the second pose after more than ten days of continuous training

He was also able to perform 5 more poses but intermittently, so their effect currently wasn't as good as the first and second poses

The two brothers continued to train hard inside Tian's room until late at night, and thanks to the meat they had eaten earlier, the result of the training was very fruitful, especially for Ruru who felt that her Body had been given what it had needed for years

Early in the morning, Ruru went with Tian to the river to check his fish cages

Throughout these days, Tian continued to take the harvest of the fish cage once a day, precisely in the early morning

For her part, Ruru never stopped smiling, after knowing Tian's amazing harvest of work during these days and realizing that the meat she had eaten last night would not be a one-time thing but would continue for days and might even get better

There were countless large fish, shrimps and various aquatic creatures in the house, and Tian was still getting more every day !

Ruru had matured early and had noticed Wan and her aunt's regrets about not being able to train and improve the family's situation, so she had been keen to train hard since last year, especially after she had broken through to the First Level of the Martial Apprentice Realm in two months despite the lack of food, where she realized her good Talent and the Talent examination in Black Snake City had done nothing but confirm it for her

And now ! With all that meat, she could finally unleash her madness and train harder and harder without fear of starving herself, draining her body, and damaging her potential

Ruru excitedly accompanied Tian to the edge of the river and picked up one of the fish cages with her small, strong hands. She then looked at the vibrant shrimp, crabs, and large fish inside, with the stars in her eyes

People who have never felt hungry, can't imagine the pleasure of eating a full meal ! Let alone those who desperately need it on a daily basis !

" Ruru ! This is a secret, just like the postures I taught you yesterday, we won't tell anyone except Wan and Auntie, do you understand ? "

Tian warned Ruru seriously, fearing that she might make a mistake and reveal this place to anyone else

" Don't worry Tian ! I know very well how important they are to our family ! "

Ruru also looked a little serious

Although Long Ruru looks simple, it is only in front of her family, in fact she is a very cautious, meticulous and intelligent person, otherwise how did she become a Level Two Martial Apprentice in just one year without resources ?

" Okay, we will go back now "

" Don't let anyone see the fish in the bucket, otherwise they will seek to find out our secret and we will be hungry again "

" Okay ! "

Ruru nodded and put all the fish and shrimp into the buckets they had brought, covered them, carried them and left for home

Although it was still very early and the sky was still dark, there were many villagers awake

Guards, hunting teams, medicinal herb farmers, and merchants

When you live in a dangerous area like their village, where they are no more than ten kilometers away from the southern Great Forest, the residents' activity and motivation to work is always at its peak throughout the year

Training, hunting Spiritual Beasts, preparing the village's trade caravan, and even farming

All of these are necessary work for the village to continue and develop properly, especially the hunting teams

Many villagers welcomed the duo after seeing them working hard early in the morning

" You two went out so early ? You two are good ! "

" Long Ruru, I heard **** say that your talent is High Four-Stars, not bad, put your effort into training later to make good use of it, don't waste it ! "

Ruru scratched her head, didn't speak and just smiled

" Long Ruru, you are a Second-Level Martial Apprentice and you have good Talent. One day teach my stinky son, he has been practicing Martial Arts for more than three years and has not made any progress and he's still stuck at the First Level ! "

" Ah, you're talking about that lazy fat guy ! "

" Long Ruru, Talents like you are absolutely essential to the survival of the village, don't let us down ! "

" Huh ?I ... "

" Uncle Wu, we need to go back quickly, bye ! "

Ruru didn't know what to say, so Tian quickly stepped in and pulled her with him and ran home while the man called Uncle Wu watched in amazement as the two ran

.

For the next two weeks, Tian and Ruru spent all their time at home practicing the movements of the first part of the Asura body.

With Ruru's knowledge of Martial Arts and her help, Tian was able to perform 5 complete stances, while she was able to perform 9 stances already

Thanks to her good foundation, her progress was much faster than Tian's, then thanks to the nutrition she received and also the new training method, her body shape and strength became much better than before

It can be said that the strength of the two had doubled during these two weeks

In the third week, Tian decided not to wait and invited Long Wan and Long Jia to train with them and not leave them behind

He had previously found a chance to examine their bodies and the following screens appeared in front of him

　　 [Name]: Long Wan

　　 [Introduction]: 16 years old, Human

　　 [Status]: Level Two Martial Apprentice (Exhausted, Minor Internal Injuries and Fractures)

[Talent]: Intermediate One-Star (upgradable)

　 [Training Style]: Primordial Strengthening Technique / Silver

　 　[Energy Points]: 39

Tian was horrified as soon as he saw his sister's condition and imagined the amount of pain she had dealt with all these years and how she had suppressed it and continued training

　　 [Name]: Long Jia

　　 [Introduction]: 48 years old, Human

　　 [Status]: Level Five Martial Apprentice (Severe Internal Injuries, Energy Veins Rupture and Distortion)

[Talent]: Intermediate Seven-Star (upgradable)

[Skills]: Spiritual Alchemist/Star (can be upgraded)

　 [Training Style]: Primordial Strengthening Technique / Silver

　　 [Energy Points]: 39

After seeing his aunt's condition, Tian was truly speechless and didn't utter a single word for half a day

Wan's condition may be bad but it's relatively new, while his aunt's condition has lasted for over twenty years and hell ! She still forced herself to work hard and take care of their family and she didn't complain even once

" No ! I need to treat them and quickly "

Tian's eyes lit up and his determination to become stronger and more ferocious in his training increased

A month after Ruru returned, while Tian was training in his room and completing the 7th position of the exercise with difficulty, he suddenly felt a slight heat spreading inside him, and a warm current slowly flowing from his surroundings and entering his Body, washing it and strengthening it, then concentrating in his muscles, bones and internal organs

Tian felt as if he had returned to his mother's embrace and his entire Body was intoxicated and deeply immersed in this wonderful feeling

" Hahaha ! "

" This feeling is unbelievable ! "

With that, after about 10 minutes, the warm current stopped flowing inside Tian's body, and his breakthrough was over, and he officially entered the Realm of Martial Apprentice and became in the First Level of this Realm

He examined his Body for a few minutes and felt that he had become a little larger compared to before, and his strength and vitality had also greatly improved

" Hahaha ! No wonder everyone in this world is crazy about cultivating and gaining more strength ! "
