Chapter 4 - Can I go?

Mada was still immersed in that feeling then someone outside knocked on his door making him wake up from his stupor.

"Young Master Please go to the dining area to eat your parents and little sister are already there and is waiting for you."

Mada didn't noticed that it was already morning "Thank you I will go there in a while."

Mada prepared himself up to go into the dining area he tidied himself up and checked his clothes were clean he knew her mother was very strict about personal hygiene so if he went there with messed up clothes he would be getting a talked with Angelica.

Mada checked his body all over and smiled with contempt usually the young master of a household have servants to do this for him but when he reached the age of 8 he made them leave him alone because he felt it wasn't right he was still a grown up person in his soul. His Angelica at first didn't agree to this but he shamelessly threw a tantrum and even act like he was wronged to get his way, making Angelica couldn't do anything and just let it happen with the condition of him still keep his hygiene very neatly or she would send servants to do it for him.

After a while he walked out of the door and the light from the sun made it looked like a spotlight for him making him looked even more handsome than normal. The servant girl saw this and looked at Mada with a blushed on her face.

Mada acted like he didn't notice her and walked to the direction of the dining hall.

Mada walked for a while until he reached the dining hall, inside the dining hall his parents and cute little sister was already eating.

Mada walked towards them and sat at the available chair and started eating.

He quietly ate and after he ate he placed the plate in front of him and looked at his parents that was still eating.

"Father Can I please request something from you?"

Suma heard Mada and was a little surprised he knew Mada very well he didn't asked for much only the time where he requested the servant stopped serving him every morning, as a father he was disappointed a little because when Mada was born he really wanted to spoil him and gave him anything he want he even gave Mada things he didn't need. So when he heard this he thought in his heart 'I will give it him no matter what.'

"Tell me I will grant it if I can." Suma was happy but tried to hide it with a stern voice but Angelica noticed he was happy and smiled helplessly when she saw him eagerly waiting for Mada's request.

"I wish to venture the continent." Mada said this with anticipation he had always wanted to go out and venture the Continent but he was not able to because he knew his strength was not enough but he just got a breakthrough so he was feeling very powerful at the moment.

But his expectation was shattered when he heard Suma's answer "NO you will not it is very dangerous out there and a 11 years old young man venturing out is unthinkable so my answer is no you will not go out, beside you aren't even at the Mortal Realm and you already want to venture so it will no."

Suma said 'No' three times at his refusal showing his stance to Mada.

Mada heard his father and understand him, he even felt warmth inside his heart. But he had already made up his mind and go venture out the world to see and experience many things so he started to plead to his father "Please let me out I promised that I will take care of myself and regarding cultivation I have already reached the middle stage of the Mortal Realm so please let me go."

Suma heard Mada and was surprised not only him but also Angelica they knew Mada didn't have any energy inside his body his dantian was like a dried field and didn't have any energy. They thought that Mada wasn't able to cultivate any energy and was worried about his future so when they heard him that he was at middle stage of Mortal Realm they had their own doubts inside their minds.

But before they can refute him they felt energy fluctuation around Mada's body and was stupefied they were also both cultivators so they knew what the fluctuations meant Mada really was at the Middle stages of the Mortal Realm.

Mada saw their reactions and felt joy inside his heart he continued to speak "I am now already at the Mortal Realms so please let me go out father."

Suma was still in dazed he was really happy at the moment then he heard Mada's voice and answered back "No I will still not be letting you go out."

Mada heard Suma and was disappointed then asked Suma "Why? You said that my problem was because I have not reached the Mortal Realm?"

Suma looked at Mada with a serious looked visible on his face "Yes I said that but I was only considering your previous situation but now that you clearly have Energy inside your dantian and has already reached the middle stage of Mortal Realm."

Mada was listening to Suma intently he was curious to why his father wouldn't let him go the Suma continued talking "But with all of this your strength is not enough for you to venture out but this is not the only point, you also do not know any Martial Techniques and your experienced is clearly still lacking."

Mada heard Suma's explanation and made him quiet for a long time he thought of what Suma have said, and thought that he was right.

He was now at the Mortal Realm but he still didn't know any martial technique and that was a fatal problem. Martial technique is the way for cultivators to use the energy inside their bodies and released it on the surfaced of their bodies.

The martial techniques also helps strengthen the body of a cultivator making it stronger than normal people but Mada's body is a lot stronger now even without martial techniques but coupled with a technique he would definitely be able get stronger.

"You lack at this point and one more thing you can also only go out when you reach the earth realm or get the top at the martial meet in the coming 2 months." Suma was stern but he didn't let Mada down he still gave him leeway. "You are only 11 years old and you have already reached the middle stages of the Mortal Realm, most youths your age is only at lower stages at the Mortal Realm this shows your talent you may even reached the Earthen Realm in 2 years so my advice is to work harder if you really want to go out and venture into the continent."

Mada didn't say any words he knew that Suma was right he was still weak compared to other cultivators, and regarding reaching the Earthen Realm he was confident in reaching that because he had the Origin Force technique from its name it must have something to do with the Origin Domain and anything that has a direct connection to that is undoubtedly very strong.

The other condition of Suma about winning the martial meet he was also already planning on entering it to gain experienced he already have a freakishly strong body that can possibly contend with earthen cultivators but he was still lacking in experience so this would be a great practice for him.

Mada remembered something "Father regarding the Martial Techniques."

Suma heard the Mada and waved his hands and 5 books appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

Suma looked at Mada and said "This is techniques are all peak Mortal level Martial techniques given that this is your first time training in Martial Techniques I advise you to start with this and build up a foundation pick two books from that you want to practice."

Martial techniques also have levels and grade like in cultivation it goes as Mortal, Earth, and Heaven their levels Basic, Intermediate, Master, and Peak level this techniques have gaps with every level but was still harder to practice on so Suma saying that peak level Mortal Martial techniques as basic was inconceivable.

Mada looked at the books and pick it up one by one the first technique was a finger technique the name and the description of the technique "'piercing sword finger' enables the person cultivating to pierce through rocks with his fingers with ease."

Mada looked at the first technique and was already surprised then he excitedly picked up the other books "'fierce sword' when practicing this technique he will have the sudden bursts of energy that enables him to cut through any opponent. 'Dragon Stance' the Dragon Stance have 3 Stances Pouncing Dragon, Coiling Dragon, and Retaliating Dragon that will let you attack, defend, and counter attack. 'Lightning Punch' will enable you t0 punch as fast as lightning and letting you to struck out first. 'Shadow Steps' will let you move like the shadow if reached the highest grade of mastery you will be able move so fast that not even your shadow can be seen."

Mada checked all of the Martial Techniques in front of him and made him feel awe the techniques are all powerful and overbearing but two moves attracted his attention most was 'Shadow Steps' and 'Dragon Stance'.

Dragon Stance was really balance it can attack defend and counter attack others it was almost perfect it just didn't have any retreating method so he picked the Shadow Steps to compensate for that it was the perfect combination.

Mada decided to pick the two "This two Shadow Steps and Dragon Stance."

Suma looked at the two techniques at Mada's hands and nodded his head in approval "Good choice this two really complement one another the other for offense and defense while the other is for retreating. I will give this to you now practice hard Mada don't slack off."

With that he gave Mada the two books and got back to eating. Angelina and Mada's little sister Ling-ling have already finished and have long left the dining hall they didn't want to disturbed the two so they just quietly left.

Mada also left the dining area and went to his own courtyard he was excited to go and start practicing the Dragon Stance and the Shadow Steps martial techniques.

When he reached his courtyard he sat there cross legged and placed the books in front of him he looked at books in front of him and was lost in thought 'What should I study first?'

He was in deep thought the martial meet is in two months giving him only a little amount of time to study and practice any of the two techniques, if he wanted to use both of the technique he had to think of a way to study the two techniques at the same time.

Mada was seated in his courtyard with the two books in front of him for a whole day when it got dark he was still seating in his courtyard then a light of idea flashed in his eyes.

He started to get up and walked out of his courtyard he walked for a while and reached a door. He looked at the door in front of him took a deep breath and entered inside the room.

When he entered the room shelves of books welcomed him and Suma seating in front of a table was reading something the Suma noticed Mada he looked at him "is there anything you want Mada?"

"Can I go out to the mountains?" Mada asked with a serious looked.
