Chapter 35 - First Victory

"BOOM"

Tyche took few steps back as he blocked the punch from the puppet, but Tyche was not sad or angry at his disadvantage in the fight rather his eyes shown with excitement.

There are two reasons for this excitement, the first being because he figured out a appropriate blood flow rate which will consume less energy without affecting his battle power much. The second reason is that he is finding the back and forth battle with the puppet very interesting and he has taken a liking to this.

Now back on the battle stage, Tyche stabilized himself after taking few steps back and then he started to adjust his breath as well as blood flow to the appropriate level. After that Tyche sprinted towards the puppet and once again started their exchange of fists.

But this time unlike the previous unrefined and uncontrolled way of fight he is now using only necessary amount of force to attack and he is improving himself at a alarming rate as the fight progress.

But he knew that this situation can't continue since even though he has learnt to reduce the energy consumption but he will eventually exhaust himself at one point but the same can't apply to a lifeless puppet so he has to defeat the puppet as soon as possible.

After entering a even tempo in the battle Tyche suddenly increased the amount of Blood qi exerted or rate of blood flow which made his skin emit in blood colour and this made his strength and speed increase drastically but this state consumed lot of energy.

As Tyche's battle strength suddenly increased the puppet was caught off gaurd and it was unable to process the change all of the sudden. Tyche didn't want to let this chance slip so he attacked with all his might and didn't give the puppet a time to defend.

Tyche succeeded in breaking the arms of the puppet with some effort and he continued to attack it's head and then chest which made the puppet send flying. As the puppet landed on the ground Tyche walked towards it with caution and he was ready to attack but he concerns were unnecessary as the puppet lay there incapable of any movement.

After confirming that the puppet was dead Tyche exited the battle state and immidiately he felt powerless so he sat down panting heavily. Soon a message appeared in his mind, 'Successfully passed the first exercise of the 1st floor Battle Tower. Reward: 30 Battle Points'.

As the message appeared his identity token glowed for a second as the Battle Points was updated in it. Tyche sat there panting without paying any attention to the message and the points update, he entered meditative state to adjust his breath and Blood qi.

After some time Tyche opened his eyes and checked his reward and started pondering about his first fight. If he is honest with himself he is unsatisfied with his battle strength as a Second level Body Tempering Realm(in Universal System) is equivalent to himself in terms of Realm but he was struggling a lot to defeat a puppet. Though it can be justified by saying that this was is first time fighting he was still unsatisfied with the result.

Now in this fight he has learnt few lessons the first is that a enemy will not give you time to prepare or analyse the situation in the battle field you will have to learn adapting to any situation. The second is conserving your energy is very important in a long fight but to deal with a opponent with endless stamina you must be fast and attack with all your might.

The third is that understanding the opponents weakness and attacking appropriately increases the winning chance as in the fight Tyche was able to win due to sudden increase in strength and targeting puppet's weakness that is it's core which is usually located in head or chest of the puppet.

After analysing the battle for some time Tyche used his identity token to exit the Battle Tower where he one again saw the Tower Keeper sleeping in the lean back chair, decided not to disturb the old man Tyche left there quitely. After Tyche left the area of the tower the old man opened his eyes and thought to himself, 'Sigh.., time sure runs fast'.

As it is already late evening Tyche decided to return home so he reached the transport area where he saw Ray, Lily and other children waiting. Seeing Tyche returning the all of them surrounded him as they already learnt about Tyche sensing his Blood qi from the instructor so they first congratulated him and then asked about the process to learn from it. Tyche patiently explaining the situation to his cousins and they all listened with intrest then they all talked about their own training while waiting.

As they were talking a transport vehicle which is more specifically a aircraft arrived and landed in the appropriate zone.
