So how did you survive till know General? That was soul rending poison and a soul blast from the Titan King. Even if the injury didn't directly kill you your power regressing to Archmage means your lifespan would be burnt out millennium ago.? " Wraithclaw asked excited but confused about this turn of events.
"Stop with that general nonsense, that was from a past life. The injury would have killed me but Fire fairy saved me from death but me lifespan was still shortened to that of an Archmage. Two years later War Blade was able to escape from the secret realm he was chased into. there he found a pill that could prolong my life for 100,000. I can still realease my peak power for one hour, but an hour later I will turn to dust. I decided to return to my descendants. Unfortunately all but one of them had been slaughtered. War Blade helped me to save him and we guided him to settle here and grow his family. Now there is over a thousand people with the Kovar blood. Unfortunately males are rare but the Kovar name has persevered. " Rupert explained in remembrance.
" So you are actually a part of the Kovar clan?" Wraithclaw asked.
" Yes I was the last Kovar to reach the third ascension, becoming a peak Sentinel. my son who had great hopes of even surpassing me was killed during his ascension by the same clan that betrayed me." Rupert said with remorse.
"So that was why War Blade killed off the Rothgaurds, before settling here. " Wraithclaw said
"Yes, he's decided to stay here protecting my family in thanks for our years of friendship. " Rupert replied.
"So why do you seem so close to Jason if I might ask? You never believed in spirit cooks being all that valuable as pills work better for both qi and mana" Wraithclaw asked as the connection seemed unusually close.
"He reminded me of my son. he has the love and pasion for cooking I only saw in him. It is because of my son that I picked up cooking after the war. I can cook tge meals but only through repetition. Jason and my son cooked through their hearts and made divine level foods even as ordinary food. Besides jason is a body cultivator and so needs a supreme amount of spirit food. This makes being a spirit cook a necessity." Rupert explained.
"He's a body cultivator? How? That is a dead path. All body cultivation legacies have been cut off on our planet. It is impossible to ascend the body without proper manuals and without a solid foundation in body forging knowledge it is also impossible to creat a method that will allow ascension. " Wraithclaw was flabberegasted to learn that Jason had started on the path of fiends.
"Yes War Blade has a fiend cultivation technique that he sometimes trains the warriors here in. " Rupert replied with a gratifued smile.
"Well if it is him, it is more understandable. Even though we have the same cultivation level i know he could destroy a hundred of me at the same time." Wraithclaw said with a shudder.
" While he is definitely stronger than he appears so are you. I remember you charging into the Titan army using your 'Dance of the Wealth'. Slaughtering peak arcanists and peak sentinels even though you were only a seventh level sentinel at the time. Everyone thought you were just a great asssassin but you had hidden that you were actually more dangerous in a straightforward fight. You had hidden to deeply hahaha" Rupert laughed in joy at the memory of his lieutenant general, charging through the enemy to save him.
" I had never known that that was my most powerful state. And its because of that battle im the way i am now. Unfortunately the Titan King and Crown Prince got away. Thankfully War Blade was able to kill them upon his return. "

"Today I will be training you in hand to hand combat. I will show you the moves first. Then you will practice them until eight o'clock. You will get a one hour break before fighting these two wood puppets. Only when you manage to beat them will I teach you how to use weapons. From now on this will be your schedule: ten mile run, followed by a corrosive bath to clean you up, then a nice relaxing nap in the 'sand', followed by warming yourself up in the flames of purification, then a light stretch as you go over the forms of the martial art I taught you. Ending it all with a nice massage from these wooden dummies. " Kyle informed Jason and thomas with sadistic glee.
"That is not right. At the end of today you will do a sit up and a push up for every mistake you make in the forms." While Kyle was patient with correcting them he believed punishment at the end will further let the lesson sink in and motivate the two kids. Admittedly it was also fun tortur-training these kids the way his sensei trained him.
so from twelve to eight o'clock the practiced diligently. Jason had a far easier time as he had previous practice with numerous martial Arts. He made mistakes now and then as it was a completely new martial art and far harder than any of the ones from earth. but he would never make the same mistake more than twice.
Thomas on the other hand was having far more trouble as he had very little training and nothing as hard and complex as this martial art. He made mistakes constantly and by eight o'clock he had earned himself seven hundred and fifty-three pushups and setups. Jason had earned one hundred and twelve.
As soon as it turned eight both boys layed down to catch their breath and sip a little water. After about an hour the stood up and faced their individual training puppet. Each puppet was roughly six foot six inches tall and carved to look like a body builder. The size wasn't a bad thing for Thomas as he was actually larger than the puppet despite only bring ten as he was currently six foot seven inches tall himself and far more built. Jason though, had a very uncomfortable moment. He was still small for his age do to the long term malnourishment. He was catching up but currently he was still only four feet tall. That was over two whole feet of difference meaning he had to fight very hard to get inside his range.
