Experience and probing

Waking up early in the morning, Hubert performed the basic martial art forms written in the book. some of this imitates the images of prehistoric animals like the mammoth, tough heavy and explosive. A saber tooth tiger which is fast, deadly and flexible and many more. The images show the essence of how they move, and which specific muscles are being used for attack, defense and running away. Each set of images involves following certain instructions to toughen up the muscles and make it more flexible, in this way the person learning the action would become more agile, have greater strength and can receive some punishment from his enemies.

After practicing for about 3 hours, sweat can be seen all over his body, muscles being formed, internal organs slightly toughening and bones becoming a little bit resilient. It is because of the way he practice and because of the meat's essence they have eaten the last dinner. Hubert can feel the little changes that are happening in his body, he punched some trees in the area and "waracckkkkk boommm" the bark of the trees broke, with a shocked face Hubert looked at his fist and did not believe what happened.

Anna watching in the sidelines smiled and approached Hubert querying, master did you feel any difference from your previous strength compared to now? and can you tell me the specific changes that you observe about yourself? I did feel more stronger, especially the explosiveness of my muscles. Comparing it to before, i can only punch with a force of 1 to 2 kilos but now i can throw a punch with a force of 20 to 25 kilos and i think i am more nimble and flexible with my movement he said. Then he tried moving and running around in the forest and he was much faster and quicker than before. After probing, Anna went to prepare some food while Hubert went to take a bath.

In the river Hubert was washing his body when something grabbed his feet trying to sink him down, he tried moving his feet going at surface but cant do anything, so before going out of breath, he collected himself and dived down to identify what was grabbing him and to his surprise he saw a monster that looks like a human but also looked like a frog, he then proceed approached the monster and put all of his energy in his fist and made a rain of punches "watatatatatatattatat" and "booooooom" 20 to 25 kilos of force rained down in the body of the monster. Pitifully the monster was pulverized and his body was full of holes and his brain burst out of his head. Hubert rushed to the surface of the water, INHALE, EXHALE " haaaaaaaaaaaa".he quickly got off the water, changed his clothes and went to see Anna.

Finished cooking, Anna was preparing their meal when his master with a big grin was running towards her, she was curious of what made his master happy and inquired, Master what made you so cheerful today? Hubert then recalled and told what happened in the river when he was bathing. In awe Anna smiled and said, "Master it's great that you have experienced that kind of danger, it stimulated your potential and made you experience life and death situation, this made you more mature specially in deciding on which move is the best to counter your opponent and what to do in a dangerous situation, as they say master, an unsheathe sword can't cut anything. Hubert contemplated for a while and nodded.

Anna also asked, "How do you feel taking a life for the first time master? Nothing i did not feel anything at all, the only thing that was on my mind is to survive and i also realize that to survive you need to be strong because the strong will always eat the weak. If i am not stronger than that monster, maybe i am the one who died and became a nourishment for that beast. Anna's eyes were smiling while looking at his master, her eyes saying you did a good job master you've grown up a little bit.

Now let's forget about it master and just eat. I had prepared a good meal for us and I also collected some fruits and made some juice for our refreshment.

While eating, Anna inquired, master what is our next step and what are your plans from now on? You said last night that you already have some ideas and it only needs some ironing for it to be flawless. Hubert nodded then said, our first step is to find a place to stay for a long term, it is better if the place is somewhat remote so that we can avoid disturbance and interruption when we are training.

Second is to find a stable source of food for us not to be hungry, third, we need find where we could get money as they say money makes the world go round. And lastly we need to get information about things that can help me in my evolution, for example the plants we found yesterday or any thing that you can determine that is useful for us. And this is why we need money because information cost a lot.

Thinking for a while Anna stated, the first problem master we can just go deeper in the forest and make ourselves a cave or a house these would make the environment more peaceful and more tranquil, and as we go deeper at the forest the energy would be thicker and denser, this would benefit the both of us, it would make your evolution more faster and my recovery quicker.

For the second problem food, let us just hunt for evolved beasts and see if we can find fruits and vegetables that are good for your evolution, and while hunting it would also serve as your training, you would fight and grind your skills while hunting in the forest. It's like hitting 2 birds with one stone, hunting for food and hunting for training.

For the third problem, money, I don't know if we can sell the corpse of the beast that we would hunt but if we can, then let's just trade the extra bodies that we would not use.

And lastly for information, we would need to go to the city library and see what are the available intelligence and knowledges stored in there. We also need to go at the black market for more further information and it is better to make connections with people in the city so that we would have an easier time dealing with unknown problems.

After eating Hubert said let's do what you say and start our plan.
