Two days passed since he combined martial arts and knight breathing. Luis strength has been increasing a lot since he started practicing.
He was currently in the Changhe store buying body training powder. This time, he purchased more than dozens of these powders. A lot for stock piling.
He intends to take it back to his world and share it with some of his most trusted people who will follow him in the future. Building strength wasn't just for him. He wanted his family and allies to grow alongside him.
After making his purchase, he roamed around the market searching for the seeds of plants that are used to grow body training powder. These materials are hard to buy in bulk as they are strictly controlled and cannot be flowed into the market too much.
The people with power behind them restrict this kind of sale. So, the strategic medicines are very inflated when they are sold into the market.
Luis has Pipi, who could grow the medicines with better quality, so he wanted to farm and start his own business and be self-sufficient in this world.
Just buying the seeds cost him nearly 20 silver coins—a high price but worth it. He bought more than dozens of these.
He then approached Turtle Martial Hall for todays training.
----
In Turtle Martial Halls, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement.
"Today we are going to see Master again."
"Yeah! Last month, he was already at late stage of the body-building realm. Do you think he broke through to innate realm?"
"Breaking through the innate realm is very hard. Most of the warriors are stuck in this realm for life."
"I will break into the innate realm and make the turtle martial hall reach a higher peak."
"Haha, you should focus on breaking through the second stage first!" someone joked, causing laughter among the group.
Luis stood among them, listening to the chatter. There was a lot of murmur among the turtle martial hall students. Today, the hall master, Cai Tian, was coming to inspect and teach. He taught an open class once a month, and everyone was eager for the chance to learn from him.
However, Luis standing among them didn't feel any awe for this Master Cai. He felt that he was already stronger than this master.
'I won't be in this town for much longer,' he thought. 'There are bigger cities and immortal cultivators out there. I need to find them.'
Luis has been searching for any kind of information about immortals, but nothing was found.
"Master is coming," a named student shouted towards them.
The students who were murmuring immediately shut up and looked towards the entrance.
An old man with long beard and white hair was slowly walking. He had an aura around him, which made him look like a wise old man.
'He looks like one of those old wizards' Luis had seen those wizards in his territory once. They had a similar appearance, with their flowing robes and quiet authority.
Master Cai slowly reached the podium in the middle of the yard and glanced towards everyone. His eyes met Louis for a short moment before looking away.
'Almost as strong as me,' Luis thought, assessing the old man's strength.
Suddenly, without any warning, a bang was heard on the podium where Master Cai was standing.
Cai Tian, who was standing on the podium, disappeared from the spot and arrived in front of Luis, ready to throw punches.
'What the—!' Luis barely had time to react as the old man threw a punch directly at him.
He moved his head back a little, avoiding the punch of the old man. Without any delay, he took out the sword that was on his waist.
Master Cai again attacked without any delay. Luis barely dodged it. In this battle, Master Cai had already taken the initiative from the start without giving him any chance to gain an advantage.
'Shit, Shit, I am exposed' every time Luis dodged, he couldn't help but curse.
If he didn't find a way to turn the tide, he'd be injured. Worse, he could be surrounded by the other students. He needed a plan, and fast.
Master Cai was still attacking him, but this time he didn't dodge but took the punch to his chest with a sword blocking in the front.
Luis felt the impact taken by his body through the sword. The force of the impact sent him flying backward, but he managed to stay on his feet.
"Who are you, kid?" Master Cai slowed down after feeling the true strength of Luis. "What are your intentions?"
Luis, who had stabilized and was ready to attack, also stopped. He was gradually surrounded by other named and core students.
'This isn't looking good,' he was worried but outwardly, he remained calm.
"My name is Han Long," Luis said with calmness in his tone. "I don't have bad intentions. I just want to learn martial arts."
He then began to get ready for combat with his back facing towards the wall. The students were closing on him, trying to surround him. Fighting one against many, he will be injured, but if he wants to escape no one here can stop him.
"One cannot have both the fish and the bear's paw," Master Cai said with a deep look, observing Luis closely.
Luis was just silent, this old man thought that he was biting off more than he could chew. He didnt explain anything to the old man and just stood in stance, ready for any incoming attacks.
Cai Tian looked at the body of Luis, which was in the late stage of body building, and was secretly shocked. He only looked the age of 13–14 but was already so strong.
'The strength of this boy... He's in the late stage of the body-building realm, but he looks no older than thirteen or fourteen.' The more Cai Tian looked at Luis, the more he realized.
'This kid cannot be messed with, he surely has big force behind him.' Cai Tian can be sure. Such a strong strength at a young age cannot be done without sufficient resource and talent.
'I need to talk with him'
"Kid, follow me," Cai Tian still said in a deep voice. No matter how wary he is, he cannot show it in front of his students.
"Others, you can disperse."
Everyone was confused, hearing the order of Cai Tian, and began looking towards each other.
They didn't dare to disobey the old master, so they dispersed slowly, staring at Luis. They were still wary of him, who was training with them, disguising himself as a normal student.
Luis also followed Cai Tian. He wanted to see what the old man would talk with him.
'He's shameless. He could attack at any moment,' Luis was wary as he followed Cai Tian deeper into the hall.
Both of them were cautious, neither knowing what the other was truly planning.
