Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Training to our limits.

A whisper from the future haunts me. It seems like we need to get back to training. I hope you're ready for this. 

The air in the dojo crackled with tension as the fight between the body two and I reached a horrifying and brutal crescendo. The serene meditation pit now bore witness to a savage battle, the very essence of tranquility shattered by their relentless clashes.

Fueled by determination and a desire to prove my own strength, I unleashed a flurry of relentless attacks. The movements were precise, each strike aimed to incapacitate and overpower their counterpart. They wielded the wooden sword with unparalleled grace, its sharp edges seeking to find their target in the form of Body Two.

But Body Two was no less formidable. With a newfound proficiency in martial arts and the refined skills of their second body, they moved with an uncanny agility. Each of their strikes was deliberate and calculated. Body Two's hands and feet became lethal weapons as they expertly parried my blows and responded with punishing counters.

The intensity of the fight grew as I unleashed a powerful strike that sent Body Two crashing to the ground. The wooden sword connected with their opponent's body, leaving behind a painful mark as if to brand their victory. But Body Two refused to stay down, his eye gleaming with a fire of resilience.

With a swift and fluid motion, Body Two rose from the ground, their body seemingly unaffected by the brutal hit. Their Hyphae-covered limbs moved with inhuman speed, delivering a series of bone-crushing blows to me. Each punch and kick left vivid imprints, a testament to their newfound power.

My determination began to wane as they struggled to keep up with Body Two's relentless assault. The fight had become a gruesome dance of pain and endurance, with neither combatant willing to yield.

A chilling moment of stillness descended as Body Two and I locked eyes, their breaths heavy and labored. In that brief respite, I could see the reflection of themselves in Body Two, a mirror image distorted by conflict.

The final act of brutality came as Body Two executed a powerful strike, sending me sprawling backward. They landed on the edge of the meditation pit, their body battered and broken. The pain was excruciating, and the world seemed to blur.

With Body Two's victory seemingly assured, they stood triumphantly, their chest heaving. It was a horrifying and brutal confrontation that had pushed both of us to our limits, revealing the savage potential that lay within them.

Cell Regeneration!

I get up from the edge of the pit and move back to the sparring area, to begin practice again. Let's spend some points on our footwork when we get a chance and a thought drifts from me. I can core share. I haven't tried it yet but in theory I put my core up to another as close as possible and I should be able to move skills out of one core and into another. It's an incredible idea but I feel there are faults in it. Will the system even allow for it and two what benefits do I gain by losing a skill? I might have just invented skill sharing but I can't be certain if it works. I need one of these two numb skulls to develop a core first. Maybe I should tell Master Shikans what's going on..
