CH-2
Finally, after one month of destroying dozens of ironwood trees, I found ironwood large enough to get a log for the bow my father wanted
[Felix is standing in front of a 2-meter-diameter and 50-meter-tall tree]
Felix: This monster is a hard one, but I have been able to heat my hands until hot enough temperature to boil water in a few seconds, but I still can't melt the sand in my hand, and I've trained a lot, and meditated during the search; now I will start
[Felix starts to punch it as hard as he can and starts to heat his hands He takes a break every 10 minutes, but the frequency of the break reduces]
Felix: My hands are getting stronger and stronger as I punch, but my mana flow doesn't grow through the way my body grows
One week later, Felix realizes that his method is not efficient as he has only chipped away the bark of this gigantic tree He starts thinking]
Felix: Ahh, I won't be able to do it within 2 months; I have to increase my fire somehow, and wait, what if I stand in the fire and do it?
[Felix gradually started to put his hand closer to the fire ]
Felix: This body is incredibly fast at adapting, but mana is like a wet cloth, and hopefully the fire will ignite it.
[1 week later, Felix can put his hand in the fire for a few minutes]
Felix: This might work; I'll stand in the fire and see how effective it is
[ Felix gathers a bunch of logs and lights them up on fire]
Felix: Time to test Felix: Time to test it. "Ouch," my legs are not adapted, but I feel my mana capacity increasing and the mana feels soft and fluid
[ Felix starts punching the tree]
Felix: What ridiculous power is this? I am giving punches that even a berserker can give, and with each punch, an entire arm-sized splinter is removed
[Felix collapses to the ground in exhaustion]
Felix: The quarter is removed, but my hands feel like they might break with one more punch, and this power is too strong
[The next day, Felix, as he is punching, thinks about the water armor that his father told him about]
Felix: Water armor would probably protect my hands while punching, but it is not compatible with fire, so how about wind instead of water? It will protect my hands, and a thin and compressed layer won't reduce the damage to the tree. Shit, I forgot about the red sand; it disappears after I'm done punching, and most of it is over.
[Felix stops, closes his eyes, and is in deep thought]
Felix: Should I put some mana in my hand and hope it will make wind magic? No, that will increase the damage to my hand because I am sure that there is no way I can do that in a few days. I guess mana in my elbows would work, but that will take a lot of practice.
[Felix stands up and starts punching at a pace he's never done before, but the pace reduces the power increased by the fire, so he keeps getting faster]
Felix: Wait, why is the damage the same as the fire punches from before? I think that the speed is so high that the heat is compressed to a point where the additional mana explodes and removes large chunks of wood, and why are their black granules on the ground
[Felix stops and inspects the granules closer, discovering that they are iron granules]
Felix: "Oh, my god"
Felix: How didn't I realize that ironwood isn't made up of iron and is gray?
[Felix reignites the half-burned logs, and this time Felix, with more willpower, does it and doesn't remember]
Felix: "What, happened?"
Felix: How is the tree on the ground, and why can't I remember anything? And I feel way lighter, and my knuckles are lighter, and my blood is of a lighter color, and huh, this log, it's too big and heavy to carry.
[Felix chopped the largest branch, which is around 1000 Kg]
Felix: "This is too heavy, but I must take it back home."
[Felix struggles to carry the branch, and a day later it collapses]
Felix: "This is way harder than I thought, and damn"
[Felix carries it for two more days continuously and collapses in front of the houses]
Felix: 'What is this?'
God Felix: 'Felix'
Felix: 'Who's there '
God Felix: 'Your ultimate guide'
[Felix wakes up in a cold sweat.]
Felix: "Who are you?"
[Leo enters the hut after hearing Felix]
Leo: "Looks like you had a nightmare."
Felix: "I guess so, and you look healthy"
Leo: "Not exactly, and I don't have much time, so I decided to take the opportunity to make the weapons to get the string and poison"
Felix: "Really"
Leo: "Yeah, you managed to punch down an ironwood that would take a berserker of rare grade 1 a week."
Felix: "Oh, and what's the poison for?"
Leo: "The entire point was to get you poison resistance, so I poured it on you."
Felix: "What exactly happened?"
Leo: "You were filled with rashes and turning all around, but just as I got a healing potion, you gained resistance."
Felix: "What? I thought that when you were poisoned, you felt drowsy"
Leo: "That was low poison"
Felix: "And you gave me high poison"
Leo: "Yeah, but there is no point in arguing"
Felix: "Okay, a great way to distract me"
Leo: "Hey, how about some stew?"
Felix: "Why not"
