Chiua drags Ace out of bed and takes him to a secluded spot of the village ready for training. Telling Ace that training should be done all day every day.
Chiua steps back as a glow covers her body as slowly her skin turns rocky and dry. Chiua says to Ace that they both will only use Earth elements in this fight and they will continue till one of them runs out of Stamina.
Ace activates Forest guardian and starts attacking, each punch landing against Chiua as she stands there like nothing was happening. Ace's punches grow in speed and strength as he pushes himself to his limits.
Chiua occasionally launching punches at Ace, sending him staggering backwards after each one. Ace keeps getting back up and continuing his attacks, deciding to activate his origin power as his aura expands with power.
With increased strength Ace attacks Chiua managing to land blows that slowly push Chiua back. Impressed Chiua matches his strength and continues fighting.
After a few hours Ace struggles to keep going but he keeps pushing as he rains punches down as Chiua matches his speed easily deflecting the many punches Ace unleashes.
Ace stamina depletes quickly as his attacks slow down to a crawl as he weakly throws each punch while struggling to breath. With a quick punch to the gut Chiua sends Ace to the ground holding his chest as he struggles to breath, "Pushing yourself to much past your stamina will kill you. Now when you can breath come find me and I will give you a few pointers."
Ace gets taken back to his room and he falls asleep for a few hours, upon waking up he heads to Chiua.
Talking to her Ace gets a few pointers that he should focus on building his stamina so he doesn't exhaust too quick because of using various abilities. She also mentions that Ace need to find a combat method that he likes so he can focus on it as his overall strength is impressive but his individual element based strength is not that strong.
Ace takes what she says and heads into the dungeon to try and grow. Upon entering Ace attempts to locate a fire element king species as he wants to get a chance to use other elements. He uses this opportunity to also think about what combat method he feels strongest in.
After locating a powerful fire aura Ace heads in that direction moving slowly as to avoid using too much stamina.

Ace quickly grabbed his spear after thinking he might stick with using a spear as his main weapon and potentially removing his Meteor shield blessing for something better. Activating Stat Boost, Mystic snare and forest guardian Ace quickly launches an attack. Managing to land a strike before it can react.
It swings around quickly sending Ace flying as it's tail slams into him, with such force Ace manages to land but only after taking a few tumbles. Ace stands up only to notice multiple spines being fired at him like mini rockets.
Ace activates Lightning haste and just barely dodges the spines flying at him, as the spines land on the ground behind Ace a huge explosion forms as fire elements burst from the spines.
Ace using his immense speed manages to land a few hits against the monster leaving deep wounds. As fire lashes out Ace quickly dodges a few of the spines as explosions follow from them. Ace pulls out a few Poison bullets but they all get stuck in the maze of spines the monster has along its back. Quickly Ace unleashes a bombardment of attacks landing a 5 hit combo strike with the first strike stabbing into the less defended side as almost instantly a slash attack hits the same area going upwards. the third strike, a downward slash as it leads with another stabbing attack in combination with Fire burst as the spear pierces the monsters flesh a burst of fire spews from the spear as it spreads along the monster inside and out, the fifth and final strike is a gorgeous display of pure strength and fire power as Ace launches into a slashing attach from the ribs up to the monsters neck as everything behind Ace explodes in a fiery bloody mess as the monster falls to the ground dead slowly disappearing.
the monster leaves behind a Fire Element Orb, 5 element blessing shards, 4 enhancement blessing shards and 10 Fire Core Spines.
Ace picks everything up and heads out of the dungeon. Upon returning to the village he heads to his blacksmith hoping to find an old Bow to use. After grabbing the bow Ace then heads to his workshop in the endless forest using the warp point. Ace makes 3 Arrows for his bow using 3 Fire Core Spines, 3 Fire Crystals and 3 Earth Spear Crystal Pieces. Ace decides to test these arrows out as he thinks of what Chiua says and decides to ignore it Ace he wants a long range attack.
