Chapter 18 : Entering the forest again

After another month

Tian sat in the filled bathtub , the medicinal materials and Spiritual Energy inside were continuously absorbed into his body while Long Jia and Long Wan continued to add pieces of medicinal extract whenever the water seemed lighter

The two of them also kept the bathtub at a high temperature and constantly monitored Tian's condition , fearing that anything would go wrong with him as he progressed

Tian's body turned red and his muscles trembled with every breath he took

After a month of daily exposure to the liquid and using the medicinal bath , as well as intensive training in his techniques and then fighting intensely with Long Wan , Tian had completed the 25th position of the first part of the Asura Body and had finally reached the limit of his Level and was now on the threshold of breaking through to the Second Level of the Martial Apprentice Realm

A warm Energy spread through his Body , nourishing all of his muscles , bones , tendons and internal organs until he could feel himself becoming stronger with every passing moment !

The five-levels of the Martial Apprentice Realm has always been a vital stage in the martial path of people in the Mysterious Continent

It builds the foundation for the subsequent stages and refines their bodies and prepares them to deal with greater pressure and amounts of Spiritual Energy at each Level

At first , they train their bodies until they reach a Level that can deal with a certain pressure and amount of Spiritual Energy , and they directly break through to the first Level in the Martial Apprentice Realm , the flesh refinement level

This Level may seem to only target the body's muscles , but in fact , it touches all soft and hard tissues within it , from the finest nerves to the ligaments , skin , viscera , internal organs , and even bones and blood , but to a lesser degree than the muscles , as the process of refining those organs will continue at the subsequent Levels

All of this is to avoid the Body collapsing and becoming unbalanced after strengthening different parts of it differently

Now , because Long Tian relied on many medicinal and spiritual energy-rich elements during his training , as well as many extremely high-level methods to consume and utilize these resources , he then possessed amazing skills that sculpted his body excellently and gave him strength and Resilient and energetic to a degree far beyond his level , Tian has built himself a solid foundation that gives him more strength than those at his level and also the ability to continue advancing to the later levels more smoothly

Even if he continued to train these physical techniques at higher levels and advanced in mastering them , they would still help his body consume the Energy and resources within him and improve , thus maintaining the state of physical improvement and his foundation would be deeper and in a state of continuous development

Now with all his family and organization practicing such techniques !

After a few decades , he has confidence that they will truly become a terrifying existence and will obtain a safe place for themselves in this vast and dangerous world

Tian's body shook violently and he felt his flesh heating up and trembling unnaturally . He gritted his teeth to endure the pain as he continued to absorb the Spiritual Energy and medicinal elements in the medical bath

After 20 minutes , the pressure on Tian's Body disappeared and he felt the activity of his muscles and tissues stabilize and return to their normal state

Tian muttered to himself and then slowly opened his eyes.

" Haha ! I broke through ! "

' It has not been four months since I awakened the memories of the previous world and obtained the ability to upgrade , and I have already broken through two levels ! '

' It's really great to see the results of your hard work come true in front of you at such a fast pace '

Tian stood up and stretched his body well , then jumped out of the tub lightly and threw some punches in the air

" Vub ~ ! Varvab ~ ... ! "

His quick punches made a loud sound as a result of the air pressure caused by the speed and force of his movements , making his smile widen

Tian was extremely excited and wanted to test the limits of his strength properly quickly , then he stopped in his place and quickly turned around and saw Wan and Jia staring at his naked Body strangely , so he blushed and hurried out of the room to get dressed

" Mmm ... Is he okay ? "

" Yes ! I think ... ?! "

.

Entering the Great Forest Again !

This was the move that the family had agreed upon a long time ago , but they were in no hurry to implement it

But now !

After Long Tian broke through the second level of the Martial Apprentice Realm and spent two days training and fighting fiercely with Wan to better understand and control his strength , they decided to go to the Great Forest again , especially since the amount of meat and Spiritual herbs they brought last time was about to run out

Tian saw his new status and his excitement and joy at his Level rise faded immediately after he saw his Energy Points

He remembered the large amount of Energy Points he needed to consume to make high-quality medicinal bath gel for himself and his family , and also to master many books and skills

Even with the profit they were making , Tian could only reduce the speed at which his Energy Points were running out

" It's okay , it's an investment ! "

" If i want to hoard Energy Points , especially at my current stage I would really just be an idiot "

" Yes , this is much better !! "

After more than two years of hard work and almost losing hope , Long Wan managed to advance and break through the third Level of the Martial Apprentice Realm a week before Long Tian broke through to the Second Level , her body became more beautiful , fuller , and most importantly , much stronger than before

Long Tian had sparred with her many times over the course of these two days , and despite his best efforts , he was unable to hold out for more than a few minutes against her

Tian originally wanted to upgrade his proficiency to Earth Fighter so that he could keep up with her techniques , but he received a message telling him that the upgrade was currently not possible , and the reason was not explained to him

As their matches continued , all of Long Tian's methods , techniques , and even tricks eventually failed in the face of Long Wan's absolute superiority , whether in terms of strength , speed , or vitality

Wan's attacks were simply too heavy and terrifyingly fast , and as for her defense , it seemed to him like a platinum plate that was impossible to penetrate at his current level

" Damn it ! So what about the higher levels ?!? "

Here , Tian slightly realized for the first time the true horror of their world , which is not usually only highlighted by the arrogance of the true power holders and their lack of concern for interfering in the lives of the Martial Apprentices that seem trivial and unimportant to them

.

Long Tian and Long Wan prepared everything they had and put forth all their efforts to prepare to enter the great forest

The two carried their previously upgraded weapons and added other supports to them . Tian brought a set of small throwing axes while Wan brought a spear holder and filled it with several steel spears

In addition to several bags that one of his aunt's friends had made for them from the skins of Spiritual Hyenas . Tian later upgraded them , making their storage capacity better , their internal space larger , and also giving them more durability

The two brothers woke up early and after eating , they took some dry rations with them and bid farewell to their aunt who smiled at them , confident this time that they would be fine

The two left the village and ran directly to the previous area of the forest to test their abilities and avoid the dense groups of monsters from the riverside

It didn't take the two of them more than 10 minutes to run to the spring from the previous time , and their breathing did not change in the least because of The great improvement in their physical abilities

Tian frowned slightly and then looked at the large , messy footprints beside the spring

Thirty-centimeter-long claws and a full palm that exceeded half a meter

" Damn, how big are these things ?! "

" They're bear claws "

Wan spoke after examining the footprints

" Their herd must have passed through this area recently "

The two of them stared at each other seriously and then began to follow the footprints and slowly and carefully delve deeper into the forest
