(Note, rather than levels for Laws, saying Layers would be much more appropriate, thuss I've made said change)
Three months later
Keisuke has been diligently working every day,
During the day he trained with large boulders 10 times the sise of him, learnt to dodge and finally perfected his swordsmanship,
Then during the night he was locked up in the room with the Space Law obelisk.
Many such days and nights passed and Kei was steadily making prpgress
*obelisk room
Kei is sitting down cross legged with one hand in front of him trying to use the law of space
Keisuke is putting all of his focus in the space law
Faint sparks start forming slowly around his arm and then around himself
'NOW!'
~Crack bzzzt crack crack~
"AAackk!"
The moment Kei tried to leap through space
He was shocked by electricity and failed
He was frustrated,
"God damn it! I must be doing something wrong! I came here thinking I could comprehend the Laws just by "feeling" the space distortion the obelisk produces while I cultivate and mimicking it. But I'm progressing too slow! There must be another way."
he had been trying to comprehend a single layer of the space law for over 3 months, and all he had to show for it was just a few sparks
But that's only from his perspective, in reality most need years to get even the little understanding that Kei currently has over the Law of Space
Keisuke striked a serious face
'Let's think, to understand the Law of Space I've been using "feeling" what other sense can I use? Taste? I don't think tasting the space Law would help me... Smell? I've been here so long the smell doesn't change by the Law of Space... Hearing? Wait, that's a good idea, when I try to use the Law of space I can clearly hear sparks whereas with the obelisk I hear nothing..'
Kei thought of another direction to direct his comprehension
"I got it! I have been trying to force this, but like that my direction in the Law of Space is completely wrong! I should try to make it silent, if I remember correctly 3 months back when I was having a "spar" with Master Ming, he must have used the Law of Space to teleport above me! He was completely silent, I should try to copy that."
Now with Keisuke's interest and mental health replenished by a sudden realisation, Kei was once again ready to put his all into studying the Law of Space
*Two months pass
Keisuke is squatting boulders 12 times his sise, sweat is dripping from every part of his body
"997...998...999....1000! Fuaaaa!"
~boom~
With a satisfied look Kei let down the boulder,
He was finished with his morning physical training, it was time to practice dodging
And right on queue, a certain master came by
"You finished already brat? How about we start your dodging training right away?"
At the start there were only 3-4 flying swords, but by now Keisuke could easily dodge 8
"Master you are here! Please give me some time to rest before we start!"
Master Ming smiled and took out 10 flying swords
"In a battle you won't have the luxury of waiting when you are tired! HAHAHAHAHHAHEHHEHA!"
With a maniacal laugh the bombardment of swords started once again
Ming Liang thought to himself
'This brat is supposed to have started Cultivating a few years ago based on the letter from John.. At first I doubted the words in the letter, but after training this kid myself, I can see that he is a genius! Even more so than I was in my prime! And I am mount Hua's sect leader! This brat.. His talent is immense! Perhaps the letter, instead if exaggerating this kids talent instead downplayed it!'
While Kei was desperately trying to dodge 10 flying swords at once Master Ming uttered something once more
"Hahaha! Brat back when I was only in the Golden core lowest realm I could dodge 20 flying swords! This is child's play, you have to do better than that if you want to have a chance to win even 3rd place in this competition!"
As Mings' words distracted Keisuke, he got a tiny slice On his arm
"I'M TRYING ALRIGHT!"
Kei thought to himself
'Damn it, if only I could comprehend the first layer of the Law of Space I could dodge this like it's nothing.. 20 flying swords would be a piece of cake..'
Kei was thinking as he was dodging the flying swords, using intuition and muscle memory, dodging was becoming part of his being
'Hey how come I don't have a flying sword for fighting? It would certainly be useful in a fight. Oh yes and about the Law of Space... What have I not tried yet..?'
~slash~
"AACKKK!"
As Kei got distracted he got cut on his back, thankfully he didn't have to worry about his outfit as Master Ming said he would repair it by the end of his 6 month training
*After finishing the dodging training
Master Ming announced
"This is the fifth month of your training, next month Mount Hua's Annual Martial arts tournament will be held, do you think that you are ready?"
Keisuke paused for a second and then spoke
"No. There is something I must do first, I don't know if I will succeed within this last month, but I won't give up!"
Master Ming saw the fire in Kei's eyes and was pleased that his determination has not yet wavered
"Good. Kid, don't be too down if you fail, at most you will stay here with me for another 6 months! HAhahahA!"
Kei shuddered as he heard that laughter, he knew that he HAD to succeed, he got a serious look and clenched his fist
"Now get your sword out brat!"
"Yes Master Ming!"

*Later that night in the Space Law obelisk chamber
Kei had been Cultivating and trying to comprehend the Law of Space
'I feel it, I am close, I'm really close to completely comprehending the first layer of the Law of Space... But there is something missing, last time what helped me progress was the sense of hearing... What sense have I yet to try? A human has 5 basic senses, Touch, Hearing, smell, Taste and... EYESIGHT! But how will I see the Law of Space...?'
Keisuke pondered that thought for a while
'A way to see... Space...Hmm, if mages want to see the flow of mana they gather mana into their eyes... So to view space.. I should try doing the same!'
Kei poured his Qi into his eyes and looked around, everything looked clearer, an obvious effect of Qi, but he could not see Space
'Here goes...'
Kei slowly but surely applied The Law of Space into his eyes along with his Qi and eventually
"Ho-ly shit."
Kei could finally see it, The Law of Space, right in front of him as lines showing him how space was being distorted and at which places, he could differentiate the normal Space and the Space being distorted because of the Law of Space obelisk, what was missing was slowly clicking into place
Kei sat there in awe comprehending the Law that he had almost completed
*A few hours later
After some experiments and failures Kei finally got up
"It's time, this is the shot for all the money..." Keisuke took a step forward and got ready, aiming for the Space obelisk
Keisuke immersed himself in the Law of Space and finally
~step~
He finally comprehended the First Layer of the Law of Space and had succeeded in teleporting next to the Space Law obelisk
'SO IT WAS LIKE THAT! W-what..'
Kei felt something familiar inside of him it was the feeling of Qi rising and breaking through to the next level
Kei would rise from Golden core low realm to Golden core Middle realm if he succeded in controlling his Qi
Kei sat next to the obelisk and started his cultivation method with full focus, even if this was a minor realm it would still take effort to breakthrough
*
*Now outside of the obelisk's chamber
Master Ming was approaching the chamber and as he was about to open the door he felt it
'What?! What is this Qi flux?! No way! Is this kid breaking through!? Now of all times!? Well, let's hope he'll be ready by the end of the month... I better not bother him for now. How about I visit Yang Ming?'
Then Master Ming's figure disappeared into thin air as he teleported away
