Chereads / The Way Of The Gladiator / Chapter 5 - Bamboo Hut

Chapter 5 - Bamboo Hut

I walk into the plain bamboo hut to see nothing out of the ordinary. I start to look around the room more to only see a bamboo table with bamboo chairs, a bamboo bed and a bamboo praying mat. " I think I'm supposed to kneel on the bamboo praying mat." I start to walk over to the praying mat until I stop. I look around the room once more as I look at everything in the room to the walls and the ceiling I realise something. "I dont understand... Why is everything made out of bamboo?" This question starts to bug me to the point I start to investigate everything in the room I start to only look but not touch the surface of any of bamboo furniture. After looking at everything I still cant understand anything about them so I try and smell, with nothing to come from that. I keep looking at different angles is from the room to see if I can look at all of the bamboo furniture at the same time. "I still cant find the right angle, for some reason I" My mind freezes as I finally fix the angle of the room to see every bamboo furniture. I sit down to meditate on the room and to focus on all of the furniture. I slowly start to fall into this state of total concentration, I stare at the bamboo table as it slowly dissipates, then the bamboo chairs, the bamboo bed and lastly I stair at the bamboo praying mat until it disappears and everything around me starts to spin! "Why is everything spinning?! My mind start to get fed this crazy information about spiritual energy and how to cultivate spiritual energy. First comes Spiritual energy sensing where you train your senses to see the spiritual energy around you. Just like body refining it has stages.

Spiritual energy sensing: initial step, one foot around your body, early step five feet around your body, advanced is eight and above, and peak is when you can no longer extend your sensing range.

spiritual energy absorbing: Initial step, absorb spiritual energy and retain it in your body. Early step, fill one entire limb with spiritual energy. Advanced step, fill three limbs with spiritual energy. Peak step is when you can no longer fill your body with anymore spiritual energy. Having a stronger flesh body let's you absorb more spiritual energy. spiritual energy absorbing step is a unique step because it can be stepped into a anytime from spiritual energy sensing but can be harmful to the flesh body if failed to harness the spiritual energy. Being later in spiritual energy sensing give you the advantage of being able to control the spiritual energy beter.

Spiritual energy movement: Initial step, Move the spiritual energy in your body. Early step, move the spiritual energy from one full circle from one limb to another. Advanced step, a full circle from each of your limbs. Peak step, complete one full circle with all the spiritual energy in your body.

One this messaged stopped my body shook back and forth then to forward and back until I mad a full circle with my body over and over until a new message information start to appear in my head.

typhoon spiritual energy!

It was a full spiritual energy training technique all the way up to the spiritual movement and a really dangerous side effect of this Training Method is when I start to absorb the spiritual energy into my body they were automatically start moving on its own just like a typhoon! "I must control the typhoon and make it my own. To step into spiritual movement would be combined with my spiritual absorbent and save me an incredible amount of time and my strength increase as well." I say to my self. Once I start to go though the memories I realise that this is a inheritance of the Typhoon Lord, and his signature technique was only a peak low ter Marital art the spinning fist but he combined it with the typhoon spiritual energy and it strength shot up all the way to peak middle ter! "That is the strength I need this is what I'm choosing, he used it with wind element combined with the water element. I shall use water and with my water spirit it'll be even better for me then it was for him!" I excitedly stand and bow the the bamboo room and I start to head toward the door a ding rings in my head.

"Ring system has received spiritual energy inheritance! update commencing! 24 hour update time."

"what does the system mean updating, what's going to chang with it?" I decide to ignore the system from now because every time I call to it all I see is a clock ticking the time away. i walk out the door to realize that I was in the bamboo hurt for almost half the day and the sun was already close to the mountains. Senior Yee was sitting in the ground in meditation when he noticed my arrival and opened his eyes and grinned. "You dont need to tell me what you go but because of how long you took you must of got something well! let's go we need to set you up at the sparing arena where they will help you learn how to fight better and to register a rank there." Senior Yee explains to me just like the treasure body the sparing arena go body the same names for ranks. "Bronze fighters are the cheapest to afford but at the sametime you can get anyone from never spared before to someone how is at peak of bronze skin. After that is steel fighter partners and they can fight with someone who has achieved steel skin. Diamond fighter can be someone who has stepped into diamond skin or has begun spiritual energy absorbing. Jade fighters are mostly high figures in the Training Arena and dont fight often but they have to be at least jade skin or advanced spiritual energy absorbing. That is also how body tempering compares to spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is more powerful but if you only train in this then your body can easily be killed but same goes for only training your body. If you only train your body then what will you do against an opponent how can fly, or even just way faster then you what will you do then. You must have a good balance for a good fighter. Senior Yee finishes tell me all this as we wall over the the teleport rune. "We wont run this time it's way to far away, it's back in the city of ZaZa." As Senior Yee finishes a bright light blinds us as we teleport to the city of ZaZa.

When we arrive at the city of ZaZa I see that we are in a giant circle room that has no ceiling. The walls around use are 50 feet tall and completely black with ingraved runs flashing from time to time. At the corner was of the room was a old man standing then he appeared at center of the circle room. "Welcome I am Muzi, what challenge will you be taking today? As I look over to see Senior Yee I finally see that he isn't in the room and was never here! I look right at the old man who called him self Muzi and see that he's wearing a plain old white tshirt with ripped pants. I cant my self from thinking "he's just some weird old many but from some reason he screams danger!"

"Come young one who will you challenge today in the Arena?" said the old man Muzi. "Sen." I was instantly cut off by Muzi. "MY NAME IS OLD MAN MUZI!" as a terror fill my mind when the old man aura erupts! All the hair on my neck stands up as I fast retreat from the old man. "Relax I won't kill you boy I here to make sure you dont die in the next challenge so who are you going to face to set your rank?" Once old man Muzi finished talking all the aura he has returned to him and he returned to the giddy old man that could be your best friend and you never know about his other side. "old man Muzi" I wait to see if he yells again. I see he just waiting for me to continue like he never yelled. "I will pick steal." Once these word left my mouth the whole atmosphere froze as old man mazi looked at me with an excited face. "GOOD! GOOD! NO GREAT! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE!" after old man Muzi calmed down he continued "come at me with everything you have I will see if you are qualified to fight for a steal rank! As old man Muzi finishes he jumps into a ready position and start to move back and forth. Excitement fills my mind "This is what I want a real fight!" I slowly start to run over to where old man Muzi is as I forcefully stop my body five feet from his and stand in a mix stance between a boxer and karate fighter. The images from the from the inheritance of the typhoon Lord with the spinning fist Marital art that was in printed to my brain so I instantly had a initial understanding standing of the technique. I lunge forward with a full strength right round house kick! Right when my foot was about to reach old man Muzi he shook his head as he reach his hand up to cat my foot at an incredible speed. Once I saw him react to my foot I pushed forward with all the strength in my left foot shot up into the air as I aimed right at his head and focus and the way you spin you are to create the vortex to appear and increase my strength. Old man Muzi eye brows raise as he see me jump in the air as he turn his head his eye showed the look of shock!

"MARITAL ART SPINING FIST"

I yell as my fist shoots right at old man Muzi head! At first my fist looked normal until it start to rotate in a weird way until a white cyclone appeared around my fist as I lunch forward. "Good boy! This is what I want to see!" Old man Muzi calls as he pulls back right arms and screams.

"MARITAL ART PALM CANON"

Old man Muzi arm shoot at my fist and as they collid a loud pop noise is made when old man muzi back up two feet and I back up 3 feet. "Now how long can you keep this up!" Old man Muzi charges at me after he finished talking. He appears the the right if me as he straights with his hand again as I stumbled and brought my and to back and with a loud crash fly into the ground as I rolled and hoped back into stand with blood coming down my noise and mouth. "He is so much more skilled then me and he speed is way above mine." I ready my stance as I charge once more. we clash back and forth for a couple of minutes until I am sent flying away from his position. "I cant keep this up if this is all we are going to do. I wonder if I can apply spining fist to different parts of my body, let's try it when I round house kick to see if I can give my body more torque." I plan in my head as old man Muzi yells. "You have one more change to prove to me that you belong as a steel fighter. Now come!" I ready my feet as I play over and over in my head how I'm going to make a vortex underneath my pivot foot to increase my speed and how I'll turn my foot to produce a spinning kick! i run at old man Muzi as he brings both of his hand behind his back forward!

"Martial Arts Twin Palm Cannon!"

Both of his palms shoot at my head as I swing my foot I see that no matter what I'm going to get hit with one of the palms! I steady my resolve as I find a way for him to hit me but I will strike his head with my kick. My pivot foot starts to shake as it spins at a incredible speed as I'm propelled right next to old man Muzi as I swing my right foot up and spin once more! "Marital Art Spinning Kick!" I feel a force that shakes my bones and cracking sounds start to emit from my shoulder where old man Muzi's palm landed. I feel my leg making contact as I shoot force out to destroy anything in its path I hear a chuckle next to my ear. "Ha if I was a a steel fighter that strike may have significantly injured me but I'm lucky for you I'm a diamond fighter. Old man muzi voices sounds as I feel a hand hit the back of my head as I fall I see a smiling old man laughing. I put everything into one last strike, I land my hand on old man Muzi chest and a loud bang sounds explodes forth. Old man Muzi looks at me to see me standing straight up passes out with my hard still out holding a fist. "What a strong will to fight, he is a good sapling to train... and I guess he did land a strike on me... so he's now a steel fight." Old man Muzi grabs ahold if me as he finishes the work, then shoves a steel coin into my pocket with a slip of paper.
