Between many tall boulders made up of stone, a boy could be seen moving around, performing various moves. He practiced some punches and kicks, and soon his body started oozing a little blue light. He changed his stance and focused the energy around him. He then concentrated the mana on that particular hand.
'Boom!' A hole appeared on the boulder, and his punch landed on it. His hand was stuck. He had to use mana again to take it out. He then started practicing again. He had finished the network of mana veins throughout his body and had mastered its use. His offense, senses, reflexes, agility, physical strength, and defense greatly increased.
He had also gained some more muscle, which made his body bulky and stiff. It was due to the air here. The meat he consumed and the dragon presence transformed his body, so he decided to revisit the shrine. It was time for him to start the war; he was ready to test his newly gained strength.
