Chereads / The Way Of The Gladiator / Chapter 4 - Status Unlocked

Chapter 4 - Status Unlocked

After I finished my nightly routine of cleaning the body of filth and brushing my teeth I go lay on the spine bed that had some wool blankets. I've been asleep for a couple of hour now and a loud bell sounds off in my head.

"Ring system assisted cultivation unlocked"

"what the hell is going off in my head" I instantly sit up as I grab my head and focus, I can hear my heart pounding from trying to listen. "I can't hear anything.. what was.. OH I remeber when I first got knocked out I head a sound as well, I thought I was imagining it. I think I hear um what was it....state unlocked." Nothing happens...After ten minutes of waiting I start saying random thing relating state and unlocked."What the fuck is it! I know it has unlocked in it but what the hell is the first word I've tryed everything I known! Status unlocked please I'm so tired I want sleep.."

"Ring status opened"

Instantly a fully transparent screens appears in front of my eyes!

"What the hell! What am I seeing." I try and reach for the transparent screen and my hand fazes through. "Well I dont really get it but at least its showing my progress of where I am at, I do get the level thing but look at that! I'm already 20% of Jade skin! When did that happen...Right when I saw the sign for the city of ZaZa." I start to put the pieces together and understand where that came from. I look out side and start to see the sunshine reach above the hillside. As I start focusing on the transparent screen it disappears and I look back only to see nothing. "Well because I'm already awake let's get a early start on the say and do some exercise some push ups and maybe pull ups."

"Ring new Daily Quest"

"Status open" The transparent screen re appears only to have changed at the daily quests.

"Your fucking with me right?! How the fuck am I supposed to get this done. Okay breath I got this I start now!" I hope out of bed grave my normal t-shirt and I see my reflection I start and see a healthy glow. I see myself a 5'9" tall stout build with broad shoulder. Pitch black hair with light blue at the tips, with two deep peacock blue eyes. "I'm going to start with push ups first and go until Senior Yee shows up." As I go outside into my yard I instantly drop to the ground and start pushups, one, two, three, four,..... and on and on until 100 and I stop. "I feel as if I haven't done a single one! I wonder if its because I have 20% of jade skin completed. With this I think I will breeze this quest." I keep doing pushups until 200, then 280 I start to slow down as the pain starts to kick in. 350 my arms are completely numb and sting so much I have already have cold sweat dripping down my forehead but I know if I stop I wont be able to start aging so I have to keep going! 425. "I'm here! I cant relax just yet all I have is 75 more and then I'm dont with push ups! Hurry up and put everything I have!" With each and every pushup my body starts to shake and I can barely lift my self. 50, are left keep going I will make it, my skin starts to skin starts to sting in horrible pain and that keeps shoot up my arms until I finally let out a cry as I keep pushing myself up and down until I stop. "Only ten more I must finish this!" I put my body down as I start to push up I can feel my body fighting every movement I make. Seven more. Three more! One more! my boy drops to the ground as I finish the last one I look up at the sky as the status bar appear and I see at the daily quests.

"I've been doing pushups for 4 hours! If each one takes me 4 hours then I will barely fine with 4 hours to spare and that if I dont slow down and at this rate theres now way I'll finish today. No matter I will see how far I can go and because my arms are numb doesn't mean I work my core!" I lay on my back as I bring my knees up and relax until I finally fix my breathing and start to bring my upper body to my knee and repeat this process for over 2 hour until Senior Yee arrives to greet me and is stun by seeing a sweat stain and exhausted me. As I see Senior Yee come over i take one last look at the status to see how many I've done.

"Oh it's you Senior Yee! I will be right back after I wash!" I yell out to Senior Yee from laying in the ground, and as I speak all of the air and grass around me freezes for a brief moment. Once i return to see Senior Yee looking at me as he asks. "How long have you been out here for and what have you been doing?" I laugh to his question as I respond calmly. "It really nothing just some basic exercise."

"What every you say, let's get a move on."

"Wait Senior Yee are you alright if we run their instead of teleporting?" I ask Senior Yee to see what he says and I'm praying to get more of the quest done if its possible.

"I don't mind but I think its 4 miles way if you're willing to run there I don't mind coming with you" Senior Yee fixed his pants and he pointed out in a direction. "Its straight this way run your fastest speed and I'll run with you and if you make it there under 10 minutes I'll give you a reward when we make it what do you think?" Excitement fills my mind as I think about how I have worked my arms first and then more core but I havent worked my legs so they are full of energy! "Alright Senior Yee you are on! How do I know when I have arrived there?"

"Its a big bamboo hut, it's hard to miss and dont worry just run in the direction that I pointed and you will get there, see you soon." Right as Senior Yee says these works he bends his back forward as he arches his back to look as if he is a tiger ready to pounce. He shoots forward we speed that was hard for me to follow with my eyes. My pupils shrink to the size of a pin as I laugh. "Looks like I need to hurry up" I start to run as fast as I can over all sorts of mountain shrubs and around trees and wildlife. After running for 9 minutes at full pass I feel winded as my chest is on fire and start to feel the lack of oxygen. I see the bamboo hut on the top of this hill in font of me that is not even fifty feet tall. "I can make it! I still have one minute to make it! I will make it!" I force my body to start running the last little bit I notice that all around me start to slow down as I instantly speed up and arrive at the top of the hill at a incredible rate suddenly all of the strength leaves my body as I fall onto the ground completely exhausted.

"Ring"

I put my face onto the ground as I say "status" in my head and the image projects into view of my closed eyes.

"Host can ask for the Daily Quest instead of the status."

"WHAT YOU CAN TALK?!" WHO ARE YOU, WHY ARE YOU I MY HEAD!?" I yell in my head just to have no response. "At least I've made a little progress, I went up a full percent for jade skin! Senior Yee walks up to me to help me stand. "Lad I ment for you to try your best not to push your self to the brink of passing out..."

"But Senior Yee I passed your test right!? What is the reward?" I eagerly ask Senuor Yee.

"Haha, yes that is true you did pass the text do I will help you out, most of the time when new recruits appear they only can get one Martial of the low grade and one low grade spiritual technique, I'll let you know that there are two peak lower grades Martial Arts that are able to be picked but the requirements are very hard to master."

"Senior Yee, what are Martial Arts and what are the grades your talking about?" I ask as we start walking tord the bamboo hut.

"Well Martial Arts help you use the spiritual energy of the world and a apply them to your attacks. Remember your Senior Sister, I wont say her name because she didn't but I believe that her Martial Art was a peak low grade ice spike that she improved on to make into a low middle grade Martial Art of her own. They go from low grade, to middle grade, to hight grade. Each grade is broken into three categories as well from initial, where you just learned the technique to then proficient, that's when you start to truly trying to understand the technique. Your Senior Sister is also at the proficient stage as well, that's why she can alter her Martial Arts to fit better. After that is Masters, I dont know much at that stage but its truly something. Oh I head a story before that after master is grandmaster but I have no clue if the true or not but now we're here." We have made it all the way to opening of the bamboo hut. "I cant tell you what going to happen in there but good luck and try your best you never know if you can grab a middle Martial Art." I nod my head to Senior Yee as I walk into the bamboo hut.
