Staring intently into the information contained in the silver manual. Lance was sweating all over his body. He just found out how difficult it is to train using the procedures inscribed. Just like a practitioner who succeeds in practicing this silver manual and gaining 10 times the power. The level of difficulty in training using this manual is multiplied by 10 times as well.
According to the book, there are only 3 postures in each rank and each posture is designated in each class of the rank. Lance understood that if he wanted to enter the realm of magical warriors he needed to accomplish the requirements listed to succeed in practicing the first posture designated for the 1st class beginner rank. He also understood that he needed to endure at least a day to fulfill the requirements. To accomplish it and succeed he must execute the 1 toe air sitting posture where he needs to lift his left leg and place it in his right thigh while bending. It is also required to clasp his hands together and level them on his forehead. Gulping his own saliva, Lance continued to browse the information contained inside the silver manual. 3 hours later he sat up and jumped down from the large boulder, Lance started to run and hooped from various rocks. He decided that he will first increase his stamina by running while also searching for available fruits and wild pig to hunt today. Several hours later, Lance came back dragging a dead wild boar while carrying a branch full of berries. He did not return to the cave but instead chose to stay near the waterfall. Using the small dagger that he found inside the cave long ago, he skillfully butchered the wild boar. After cutting the boar's corpses into four parts, he gathered some old branches of wood around the perimeter and started a fire. He then skewered the meat and roasted it patiently, several hours later a smooth fragrance assailed Lance's nostrils. Unable to contain his hunger anymore he started to devour the meat in gulps. Lance was so hungry that he almost drained his food reserves which were supposed to be spared for 2 days. Laying flat in the ground while stroking his round stomach, Lance gazed at the clear blue sky and several minutes later he fell asleep. He slept and woke up the next morning. After taking his breakfast, Lance started his first endurance training using the prescribed procedures and tasks listed in the silver manual. First, starting in the morning, he would perform sit-ups under the waterfall while embracing an estimated 60-kilogram rock. Next after doing sit-ups he proceeds to perform push-ups and curl-ups while holding weights. In the afternoon he runs around the perimeter while shouldering a massive rock in his back. Afterward, using the vines he found around the forest he tied each of his legs to two rocks of the same size and he proceeded to drag them while climbing the steep slope. Continuing the same routine every day coupled with some supplementary exercise, Lance's muscles tighten even more especially his lower extremities. A month had passed in the blink of an eye. Today he would try to attempt performing the posture prescribed in the manual for 1st class beginner rank.
" I should be able to at least endure this posture for 7 hours" Lance deduced.
Performing the 1 toe air sitting posture, he adjusted himself and tried to find his balance. Several minutes later Lance became steady as a rock. He meditated for an hour when suddenly he started to feel the familiar heating sensation once again.
