Chapter 7 - Don't Look For Me

They left the treatment room just as they did the first time Sifeng opened his eyes in that room and headed home. Upon getting home, he consumed a plentiful amount of rice before falling asleep.

He decided not to go to school the next day and lied to Kim that he wanted to heal his mental health and rest at home for some time. Of course, Kim didn't buy this and continue forcing him to go to school, but after several failed attempts with time running out, she decided to leave him alone and head for school.

Sifeng packed a bunch of coins immediately Kim left his room, he went to the market and bought a good amount of food supply, there's not so many food that he can eat in this world, so he bought the few ones he's familiar with.

There was bread, fish, fried and boiled potato, rice and meat. He packed everything into a wooden cart and struggled to push it home, he pushed it directly to the back of his room where there's a small passage that led underground.

No guards stop or question him for the loads of food and where he's taking it too, he also didn't encounter his mom and his two brothers as he didn't dare to go into the sitting room.

He dragged the cart into the small passage and upon getting underground, he could see a long tiny hallway that stretches downward, it was completely black with no source of light shedding their blessing on the hallway. Just as he turned around dejectedly, ready to move out to find a source of light, the hallway was suddenly illuminated by a small glow that appeared just to his right, he looked back and could see that the glow is on both sides, surprised, he took a step forward and two more glows appear on both sides and another, and another until it stretches to the end of the hallway where he could vaguely see a large white door at the very end of the hallway.

"Now problem solved."

He started pushing the cart forward and the squeaking sound its wooden wheel moving on the floor echoed around the hallway, there are different intricate patterns etched on the wall, floor and ceiling of the hallway, and upon getting to the door, he could see patterns etched on it with different formation and that's when he realized he had a little problem.

"How the hell do I open this damn door, it doesn't even seem to have a lock. F*ck, why didn't I asked Kim about it."

He move closer to the door and placed his hand on it, trying to see if some sort of magic will happen, after all, the lights came on when he moves so he thought the door might open if he place his hand on it.

And somehow it did, the door slid opened as he placed his hand on it, one of the intricate patterns on the door shone dimly as he placed his hand on it and Sifeng could swear that he felt something ignite in his soul as soon as his hand touched the door.

"I knew it would open, this world is filled with magic."

Then a realization hits him.

"If I can open it without any lock, doesn't that mean anybody can open it just as I did, and she said it was privately made for me, my foot."

He pushed the cart into the room and closed the door, the room is very large, enough to fit in three different cars from his world. There are different equipment placed all over the room, he hadn't seen any of them before and he opened his mouth in awe as he looked at each one of them.

Each made with a polished wood, cloth and sack.

There's a focus mitts, training dummies, wooden sword, spears and arrows, axe and scythe, kicking bags, heavy bags, kicking paddle, kicking shields, there's a reflex training bag, speed bag, strength building lift, iron bracelets and iron sandals, wrist roller, heavy stone and so all.

Sifeng haven't seen any of this before but he had a little idea of what most of them do as they're similar to what could be found in a gym back in his world.

His reason for coming here is simple, he wanted to lock himself here and train as hard as he could to build his weak body and give himself a proper body structure, he had done the same thing in a gym back in his world.

He will stay here and train while also advancing his cultivation all nights and day for as long as his food supply last him. Many of the equipment will be useless to him for now as he don't really know how to use them, the likes of sword, training dummies and the wooden reflex. For now, he wanted to focus on strength and build his weak body to be as strong as ever, then he would go meet Kim to teach him how the people of this world fights and how those equipment are used.

But for now, he would only rely on his previous world boxing style and his strength.

Kim got back home after school and the first place he went to is Sifeng room, trying to check up on him, she knocked the door a few times before bursting inside after getting no reply.

"Shh, I knew this boy is up to something, where did he go now."

She immediately turned around, ready to go look for him but she saw something clearly written on his door.

*Hey Kim, don't look for me, I'm in the training room and I'll be staying there for a while.*

She felt relieved reading it and a smile appeared on her face.

"Stupid boy, so you can really change."

Then a sudden realization hits her.

"Staying there for a while, does that mean he won't be coming to school? Well, that will savr him from those bastard while staying there to train himself, but that also means he'll starve to death, I won't be able to give him food because not even me can access the training room without him or dad."

A sad expression appeared on her face.

"I should contact dad, because that idiot will not come out till he can't move again."
