Chapter 7 - Pipi

Luis, after returning to his world, slept soundly.

Early Morning

Luis woke up, became refreshed, and walked out of the room. Instead of heading to the parade ground as usual, he made his way to his private training ground, eager to test his new idea.

Today, he will attempt to combine the knight breathing method and martial arts technique he has learned yesterday.

His private training ground was located behind the castle, near the back garden. He made the private ground here because he can observe the flowers in the surroundings to calm his mind.

Once he arrived at the training ground, he began to prepare himself. He sat down on the ground and took out the thin book and started observing all the movement of turtle martial arts. The techniques focused on balancing softness and rigidity.

After observing for some time in repeat, he jumped up the ground after becoming ready.

He started taking a rhythmic breath at a specific pattern according to the eagle breathing method, and along with it, he began moving his body with softness and rigidity.

At first, he felt nothing and just was following the movement. But as time passed, the cells in his body became more active and stirred with energy.

He could feel his body being strengthened. His life seed was also being nourished at a faster speed, constantly strengthening his body.

He felt his body being strengthened by both the martial arts and knight breathing method separately. The combined techniques seemed to work in tandem, reinforcing each other.

In his estimation, he could break through to Official Knight in around 3 months, but this time can be reduced to around 1.5 months now.

He trained continuously without any rest as he felt his improvement at rapid speed. He was so focused that he didn't notice pipi flying out of the training ground.

"Pi pi!" Pipi shouted, watching Luis as he trained, but quickly grew bored.

She began to roam around the area. After roaming around, she entered the garden where she was born.

Seeing the familiar garden, joy filled her, and she flew towards it. Biggs, who was nearby watering the plants, spotted her and stopped in his tracks.

'Is young master here?' He stopped watering the plant and observed Pipi, who was happily flying around.

He then saw a sight that shocked him. for the first time in his life, he saw the magic of a fairy. The flowers around him, some of which had not budded, bud their flowers. The flowers, which were obviously dying and had diseases, became healthy.

The garden, which was already filled with vitality, became more lively with all the flowers and trees moving as if they were cheering at pipi. 

Biggs seeing this scene was moved to tears. He was in this castle since the time of Luis grandfather. He has been through all the difficult times of the Hartmann family.

The difficult time when the Hartmann family almost lost their position of nobility, the slow recovery, and now the rise of family in the time of Felipe Hartmann-Luis father. He has seen all these things from the sidelines, silently supporting the family.

Now, the family has their own fairy.

'No one will stop the Hartmann family's rise now,' Biggs thought, his heart full of emotion.

-----

Pipi was flying all around the places happily. She roamed around the corridors of the castle, to the parade ground, and many gardens.

She was recognized everywhere she went, many pointed fingers at her and were whispering. She met many people along the way. Some children chased after her with laughter, some just looked at her from afar with awe.

She also met a kind woman who was very nice to her, giving her a lot of magic stones to absorb.

After spending the whole day outside, she returned to the private training ground where Luis was training.

----

Luis trained the whole day without noticing the passage of time. 

He was constantly training and improving his strength. At first it was a little uncomfortable training, as you had to constantly breathe and move in a specific pattern. But as he trained, he improvised the technique slowly, making it more comfortable to practice.

The body nourished by the life seed and martial arts was much stronger than before.

According to his estimation, he strength is in the late stage of body training, just short of controlling qi in his body. He will reach this stage when he becomes the official stage, generating life energy in his body.

He was satisfied for today and ended his training. Just as he was about to leave, Pipi appeared in his sight.

She was flying towards him happily. He forwarded his palm for Pipi to sit in. 

----

After returning to his room, Luis left Pipi there to rest. Now, he was ready to test the effects of the Body Training Powder he had purchased the previous day.

In the bathroom, he poured 1 packet of this powder into the tub.

This one packet of powder can be used by the early stage of body training warriors ten times, but as the strength increases, the body absorbs the medicinal properties faster and faster.

The tub after the powder slowly began to change color and became lime green.

Luis directly entered the tub without wasting any more time. His body began absorbing all the medicinal properties from the tub. 

He tried Knight breathing while absorbing the medicine and it was extremely effective.

He was enjoying this sensation as his body felt very relaxed. After ten minutes, his body stopped absorbing the medicinal powder, but by now the green color was very dim.

'This is incredibly effective,'

Luis stepped out of the tub with relaxation. His body felt refreshed and even stronger. However, he knew that using the powder too frequently would diminish its effectiveness.

"It's a pity I can only use this twice a week," Luis murmured, drying off. "If I could use it daily, I'd become an official knight in less than ten days."

He now felt that he could become an official knight in less than a month. If this could be used daily, he could become an official knight in less than 10 days.
