Chapter 2:determination and training

And the moon suddenly gives a ring out of thin air. This thing is a space storage; the item you want is in there, so take it out. Then moon tells Jupiter, "Before you can take it out, drop a drop of blood in the ring, and it will become yours or recognize you as its owner."

Then Jupiter said, "Is it necessary to be a drop of blood? You already gave it to me, so why does it need a drop of blood?"

Suddenly, a loud laugh appears, and Jupiter becomes embarrassed. He looks around but sees nothing while the laughter persists. He thinks the laughter is coming from the moon, so he shouts, "Moon, shut up! What's so funny about it?" His face turns red from embarrassment.

Then the moon says, "Are you afraid of cutting yourself and the blood? Hahaha, I forgot that you are still a kid. Hahaha." Moon continues to laugh, and tears appear in his eyes.

Jupiter says, "What's so funny about it?" Moon replies while laughing and teasing Jupiter, "Are you afraid of your blood, afraid of being cut?" Moon sings it at the same time.

Jupiter wants to cover his ears, but he can't because his little sister is in his arms. He has no choice but to hear it, and he becomes mad about it.

Jupiter whispers, "When I have a chance to embarrass you, I will do it until I'm satisfied." While Moon is laughing, he sees Jupiter whispering and asks, "What is it? What are you talking about?" Jupiter replies, "It's nothing."

"Moon, stop talking, and drop a drop of blood in it already," Moon says, and Jupiter takes a knife but hesitates, saying, 'Are you sure I'm gonna do this?' Moon replies "You are talking too much; just do it."

Jupiter closes his eyes while trembling, then he cuts his palm, and a lot of blood comes out.Moon laughs and says, 'I told you to drop a blood, not to shower it, hahaha,' looking at Jupiter's face. Jupiter slowly opens his eyes and sees blood coming from his palm. He is shocked, because he doesn't expect that lot of blood gonna come out.

'I already got what's inside the space ring,' Jupiter says. Moon explains, 'That is Heaven's Mountain Scroll. That's where you're going to train and live with your sister for now.'

and then moon activates the Heaven's Mountain Scroll. They are sucked into the Heaven's Mountain Scroll.

Jupiter looks around while holding his sister and says, "Wow, what a beautiful place." He looks at his sister and says, "This is where we are going to live, our new home. It's beautiful, right, Star?" He pats his sister's head.

His sister, Star, smiles at her brother, and then moon says, "What a cute little baby." Jupiter says, "Don't think about it! What are you thinking about, Moon?" Moon laughs and says, "I'm just saying your sister is cute. Maybe if she grows up, I may consider it." Jupiter warns, "Don't think about it. I'm always watching you, so watch your moves."

Jupiter starts searching for a place to live and train. He finds a cottage near a river and a small farm in the yard. As he approaches the cottage, they encounter a huge snake with big sharp fangs and poison coming out. Jupiter thinks they are done for and trembles out of fear.

Moon shouts, "Get lost!" The huge snake trembles and runs away quickly. Jupiter's legs collapse from fear, and he hears his sister crying. He realizes he's here to become stronger to protect his sister but is trembling out of fear.

He walks toward the cottage and says, "Moon, train me." Moon replies, "Of course, Jupiter, but my training is hard, and you will feel it like hell. You are not allowed to quit in the middle of training, Jupiter." Jupiter says, "I'm not going to quit because my sister needs me to protect her. So train me now." Moon advises, "Don't be impatient, Jupiter. First, you need to settle down, and then we'll talk about your training."

Two hours later, after cleaning the cottage and settling down, Jupiter asks Moon, "I'm already settled down and ready to train." Moon says, "You are going to train tomorrow; it's already late. Take a good rest and be prepared for tomorrow. That's it for now." Jupiter agrees, "Okay, I'm going to do that. I'm a bit tired, so I'll train tomorrow." His sister, Star, starts crying, wanting to eat.

Jupiter prepares milk for his sister and food for himself. After eating, they lay down in bed and fall asleep due to exhaustion. Jupiter dreams of his parents leaving them again. He wakes up crying and he tell himself that i will find my mom, dad. Before that I will find some clue about the truth mom speak in the letter,then he falls asleep again.

In the next day, Jupiter wakes up; he washes his face in the river next to the cottage. He wakes his sister, Star, and prepares food for themself. When he finishes feeding Star, he thinks that he needs to prepare necessary things for her before he goes to train.

When he already prepared necessary things for her sister, he asks, 'Moon, ready to train? When are we going to train?' Moon answers, 'Go to backyard.' And he goes right away to the backyard. 'Moon, what am I gonna do now?'

'Make sure you know the basics, the foundation of martial arts. First, you need three full jars of water and a rope for that.' He immediately gets what Moon said. A couple of minutes later, he comes back with a rope and a jar full of water.

'Now you have this; you can start training. First, squat properly.' Jupiter asks, 'Like this?' Moon corrects, 'No, a little more, and then don't move.' Two hours pass, and Jupiter says, 'How many hours am I going to do this? Maybe 5 hours, 10 hours, 1 day, or a year?'

'What!? I'm going to do this for a year, but I don't have that much time.' Moon replies, 'Jupiter, if you gain sudden power that you can't control, it will only lead you to your destruction. So, I'm going to train your body first so that you can bear the power you're going to hold in the future. Your future should not be led by your body that has no control to your power, it will only lead to your destruction,' Moon says with a serious tone.

'Okay, I'm going to listen to you.' Then he thinks if that destruction is going to come, his sister will be left behind. Jupiter feels shivers and sadness in his heart.

The next morning, it repeats what he did yesterday: wake up, take a bath, prepare food for his sister, and train. He repeats what he did yesterday until tomorrow and in the following days. But Moon is surprised that Jupiter progresses so much day by day. 'I didn't think that in a few days, Jupiter would be ready to train a new level.'

Then, a week later, he begins a new training because Moon said he has already prepared for the next training level. That is to climb the mountain with bare hands while he has a rope on his waist, and at the end of the rope has a huge rock weighting Jupiter.

On the first day of training, Jupiter, on the mountain with his bare hands, can only climb at the bottom because it's so hard, and he only has an eight-year-old body.

But Moon knew that, so he arranged that kind of training for Jupiter, so that he can adapt to the power he can hold at his young age and so that his body will not break easily if he gets that kind of power."
