Chapter 14 - Discovering the Stone Steles!

At 25 meters Musk had already started to utilize the gravitational force spreading five meters around him and his descent reduced faster until it stopped completely at about nine meters. He then spends less effort to reach the ground.

The ground was cold the instant he landed, but that could be ignored as the chill seemed to come from the environment in this place, not like the situation that resulted in him ending in this place. He put his line of sight off into the distance and realized that this place was indeed more like some funeral as the sound of birds and animals could not be heard at all. just standing here as a normal person one would already start thinking about escaping this creepy place. That did not include Musk, as in train of thought, the fact that he almost died was already one extreme for the day, He did not realize that he had taken close to a few decades to come to this place, an indication that he had traveled far off.

At the moment he had more important things to confirm rather than worrying about anything foolish, and as he moved step by step on the island lost in thought he did not even notice that the place was becoming colder as he approached the huge stone tablets.

In the end, he woke up to the fact that he realized some murmurs were echoing in his ear from time to time without even his realizing it. This situation managed to unsettle him. Standing in place, he could indeed feel some voices, as though they were whispering in his ear. This place was indeed not some kind of opportunity like the old man had said, at least not for Musk. It was also lucky that he was not awake to figure out that he had been sent to this place by the old man.

At the moment he felt the murmurs were intensifying he sat down and started to use other thoughts to distract himself but it all proved pointless. In the end, he resorted to some skill he had learned from the corporate culture, self-hypnotization.

"I don't hear anything! ..."

It took close to three hours for him to see the results of this and when he stood up the words that kept echoing in his mind were that he could not hear anything and it allowed him to move past the first stone tablets, and in the same moment, the feeling disappeared.

At this moment, he found himself standing before another tablet and this one seemed even bigger than the one he had seen, but it gave him some sense of Deja Vu. Back then when Musk had just transmigrated into the world, beasts were rampant and he learned martial arts until he got the opportunity to see the source of their martial arts, in that time he thought that perhaps he and the people in that time were being put under pressure that they went ahead and visualized their own things out of the tablet with the already existing predecessors bias and so the birth of the martial arts.

But that was not until he reached the second level of Tortoise Longevity Art, but at this time the tablet did not seem to exist anymore. Whatever he saw before him was the same in all aspects, just looking at the tablet it seemed to extend beyond infinity due to the pressure it was putting on him.

Perhaps this is also the reason for the old man pushing him into this place as he had sensed something that resembled this place. But he was unaware of how he got here, but rather his attention on the tablet was very serious and he then started to see numerous changes appearing on the tablet. No to be more specific it was a martial art, being displayed from the initial stage, and when it reached the third stage he could feel it and he managed to see it transform into the fourth stage.

That was not all, the martial arts probably had more stages but he could not understand nor even check the rest of the process due to lacking qualifications. But things did not end there numerous martial arts were being replayed before him and he could see the process required for the fourth level to be attained from all of them.

Just standing there his heart was racing, his martial arts had stopped improving a long time ago and at this moment he just seemed to have realized he was going in the wrong direction, and in order to take the next step evidently he had to take focus on something ethereal referred to as well. His will had to be fused with the martial arts to step into the fourth level and from there onwards, his focus would be improving his will. He could only see the situation of the fourth level and thinking of all the tablets he had seen on this island, his eyes were turning fiery.

"This is my opportunity to gain knowledge and this collection seems enough to allow me to improve greatly. At the moment the best thing to do is to study new martial arts first, after all the three martial arts I studied in the past were not from a well-organized system like this one. Pick something that is unique from the numerous lists and then focus on it."

At this moment, It can be said that Musk was very excited but in the end, he knew that even if he were to focus on the martial arts he had studied, it would still take a long time to actually attain the fourth level. He was not sure how long he would have to stay on this island before some trouble came for him. At the moment though, his main objective is to deal with something that can help him gain results fast.

Without wasting time he sat down, before the huge tablet and when his eyes focused on it, he found himself in a different environment. Snow was falling, and he could see icicles in the sky falling at a slow pace some figure standing in the distance was wearing gloves. When he arrived the figure instantly started to throw random punches before the void above the figure the instructions for this martial art were being presented.

It was martial arts focused on the physical body, and it is also the reason he chose to focus on it to the point of being thrown directly into this virtual space world.

It resembled an internet site that had numerous videos under preview and the moment one choose it and it would be opened for them to view it, except this was something that happened on the level of perception.

He also was not chosen randomly at all since he had already learned some boxing techniques in the past, and this was the reason for his selection, as the speed of practice would be even faster.

"Well, let's see how fast this martial art will be cultivated then?"
