Executing any Training Methods was always uncomfortable and comes with bits of pains which varies accordingly to the techniques or the number of repetitions made by the individual which was the price for gaining an increase in strength.
Every Training Manual has its limited amount of times it could be performed no matter how easy it may seem. And more importantly, if a Training method is used continuously without advancing to the next level, the efficiency fades after a period of time and the increase in strength after each repetitions reduces after a certain period of time.
For example, the Formless Heat Training method that David was currently practicing has three levels to it.
The first level allows David to practice the Training Method for at most 2 repetitions only, forcing a sharp spike or an increase in his heartbeat, before his heart begins to fail due to the over usage of it. It was like forcing an engine used to moving a cart and then forcing the engine to move a train, it would fail. It was the same for the hearts. Or his body losing too much heat, which would also cause his organs to fail.
With the great control of strength he had over his body, he could easily practice the Training Method a few more times higher than it was stated. He could easily avoid wasting energy mindlessly unlike other Spryhers would.
The warning was meant for those who mindlessly practice the Manual with no reservation as they could only roughly propel their blood and roughly oscillate their muscles, it eventually lead into wasting too much energy and then overworking the hearts. Which would eventually lead to 1 to 2 repetitions before they would reach their limits.
But David was different, with his ability, he could smoothly propel his blood and easily oscillate his muscles at the frequency that had been stated. Little to no energy would be wasted during that period, compared to his peers, allowing him to execute the method a few times more than required without overdrafting his heart.
Grunting in pain, blood rushed once more into his head due to the disruption of circulation. His face which was already red, couldn't even redden any longer. His body went cold for a few seconds, but he hurriedly no time in circulating Scorching Fury and heat returned into his body.
He had long since reached the perfection state of Scorching Fury - Burning Blood.
The heat which was supposed to be generated in his arms with the circulation of the technique, was now generated in every part of his body.
His blood practically boiled with heat as steam could be seen raising from his red coloured head. The hairs in his body had curled in every which way. It was a wonder if it could even be straightened back.
Due to the terrible pain he felt, he knew he had almost reached his limits and he could perform another cycle of it before reaching his absolute limit but David wasn't intending to do so. He prefer not to get close to that line as it may affect his heart or cause some hidden injury which might surface later on.
It was the fifth time and also the last time time he was planning to do for the day.
Gazing at the fitness tracker's holographic image, he smiled with what he saw. His CPM had increased to a terrifying 67 cycles per minute. His rate of improvement left him feeling satisfied but soon, it was replaced by a serious look. He had something important he wished to do.
David entered through the library, it was his first time in the library in this life iflr the previous ones ever since he had been admitted into the institute.
The library was creepily quite but he could see lots of students walking to and fro from different directions but he couldn't even hear a single sound of footsteps sounding out.
But something caught his eyes. There was a transparent blue barrier that was enveloping the entire library with how huge it was. It wasn't very visible, but if one looked closely, one would be able to notice it.
David expression changed as he was suddenly reminded of the technology Lu Feng had used to block his imprint from sending out any forms of distress signal - F1-B4U Cubic EMP.
But this particular one was different, it didn't seem to stop the function of his Imprint, it's seems it only function was to counter any sounds made in the library.
Although he didn't know the principal behind it such technology, it was nothing short of amazing to him. Which came down to the main reason he was here.
He was here specifically for the gadgets the institute had to offer. Last time he had suffered a loss because he couldn't find ways to counter the Silencing Series EMP.
But now, he came to increase his knowledge and also, maybe get a few contraptions on his way to his room.
. . .
"What did you say? That guy is finally out?" Nick eyes widened in surprise as he quickly asked his clansmate who he had assigned to keep an eye on David.
It had been quite the while he was hoping to catch David unawares. But every time he was hoping he would catch David after the lectures are over, but every with every passing day, he always failed though as David would always head directly to his classes, and then to his dorm almost immediately.
There was not enough time for him to travel a few miles to teach Dav a lesson as David had probably gone to his dorm.
This situation frustrated him, but now, the opportunity had finally come, when he had almost given up.
"Yes, he entered the library a few minutes ago." the youth nodded his head in confirmation.
"Haha! Very good! Billie, he finally came out if his turtle shell, i will make sure to reward you well for bringing such good news." Nick laughed happily as he promised. He waved his hands, intending for Billie to leave the room.
Then, he stood up from his seat as he turned towards a lanky youth who was by his side and whispered. "Have you gotten that item from there yet?"
Glancing at door, Sébastien only spoke up once the door was closed. "Boss, those people aren't easy to deal with at all but thankfully, I didn't disappoint your faith in me." He then carefully opened up his backpack and then slowly took out a cubic glass object which seemed quite fragile.
"You didn't disappoint me as always. I'm sure you had quite the rough time, giving you a few Gyno points in return doesny seem quite right." Nick carefully took over the cubic object with electric currents flowing inside.
After gazing at it intently, he kept it safely as he continued. "From now onwards, you will officially become my right hand man as rise to power within the institute. That is your reward." he said with an awe aspiring time as he turned towards sébastein "What do you think of my reward?"
Cursing in his mind, he was already the right hand man, how was being officially assigned benefit him but outside, his expression was happy as he replied " Its my honour."
"Lets go. And also, contact the rest. We need to make sure he doesn't escaoe."
"Yes!"
* * *
Dav frowned as he walked out of a store. Gloom covered his face. He had never thought Contraptions were very expensive. This was the fourth store he had gone to already but, the outrageous amount of Gyno points scared him witless. He didn't even own enough Gyno Points to take care of him self yet, if he mindlessly spent it on some time use Gadget, the pain would hunt him for a long time.
There was one that David had seen and it was absolutely amazing. He had wanted to get it the instant he saw it. But when he saw the Price, he almost chocked on his own spit. It was even the lowest Grade of the SkyWalker Series But it costs 10,000 Gyno points. Selling himself might not cost that much.
'Forget it, although its cool and nice to own a gadgets or constraptions, it is more important to increase his own strength rather than relying on something else.' David forced himself to believe that.
It was almost midnight, David left the Section and headed towards his dorm.
One might think he had been traumatized by the previous event but, David as till took the same shortcut he had taken when he fought Lu Feng.
He had only walked about a few meters when suddenly, the sound of different footsteps seemed to rhyme with his foot step.
Every step he took, the other foot steps seem to synchronise with him, he ignored it and walked a few meter forward but suddenly, his heart beat also seem to beat in sync with the sound of their foot step as a wierd energy seem to generate itself along with the beating of his foot step and heart. But before the energy could be fully formed, it was suddenly burnt away by a scorching heat which David's body had generated it self.
If it were an ordinary Spryher, they would be greaviously injured if they weren't careful. But David didn't have to do anything, his Scorching Fury was at a high state, it wouldn't allow a different force to exist inside Dav's body aside from itself. It was law that two different energies re unable to exist simultaneously without one devouring the other unless there was a catalyst, enlisting an equilibrium to energy.
David wasn't stupid enough to believe that with the vibrations his body got through the feedback from the ground, he wasn't strong enough to produce such intense vibrations.. He knew he had been sneaked attacked.
