440: Seven Is Not Enough
The moment Zora saw the slight shift in Kai’s stance, the way his breath evened and his shoulders loosened instead of tensing, she nodded once and turned away. Without another word, she walked back to her earlier spot, sat down, and snapped her fingers.The invisible pressure vanished.The Iron Buffalo let out a thunderous roar and charged again, hooves tearing up the savannah as it rushed toward Kai with murderous intent.Kai didn’t flinch.His expression had changed. Gone was the irritation, the confusion, and the half-baked confidence.What remained was focus, sharp, grounded, and heavy. He could feel it now. The technique was different. The power circulating in his body wasn’t just gathering in his fist anymore, it was flowing, spreading, and humming through his bones and muscles like a living thing.At the same time, a strange thought flickered in his mind.Why did she actually stop him?Zora never stopped training sessions. Not for pain. Not for broken limbs. Not even for death.
439: Power That Refuses to Flow
Kai coughed and pushed himself off the ground almost instantly, reflex and stubbornness working faster than pain ever could. Dust slid off his shoulders as his eyes snapped back toward the Iron Buffalo only for him to freeze.The beast wasn’t moving.It was not charging as it should, it was not even stomping like the raging bull should. It stood there like an invisible wall had been slammed in front of it, hooves digging uselessly into the earth, muscles tensed but locked in place.Looks like Zora’s work.Kai exhaled slowly. “Figures.”Before he could open his mouth to say anything else, space rippled and Zora appeared right in front of him. There was no drama or warning, she just appeared there. Arms crossed and expression flat. Eyes sharp in a way that made Kai straighten instinctively.She stared at him for a long second, then shook her head.“You’re an idiot,” she said calmly.Kai opened his mouth. Closed it. Tried again. “In my defense...”“Did you cultivate back to Return of Or
438: Educational Trauma
The realization settled fully this time.Kai let out a long, tired sigh as everything finally lined up in his head. For a brief moment, there was a strange warmth in his chest, it was not pride and, not excitement, just the quiet understanding of what Zora had been doing from the start. Then that warmth twisted into something far less pleasant.A scoff.Of course.Why would she ever explain things normally?He clenched his fists, watching the Iron Buffalo stomp and snort ahead of him, then glanced sideways at Zora. She could’ve just told me, he thought bitterly. She could’ve said, “Hey, practice the fist technique until ten punches.” Done. Simple. No unexpected broken bones. No near-death experiences. No emotional trauma.But no, that wasn’t her style.Instead, she’d dragged him into a secret realm under two suns, separated a herd of nightmare beasts, picked the toughest baby monster she could find, banned weapons for “meat quality,” and left him to connect the dots while staring deat
437: Weak?!
From her comfortable spot off to the side, Zora burst into laughter the moment Kai’s elbow shattered against the beast’s skull. She laughed so hard she had to lean back, one hand on her stomach, fruit still in the other like this was the funniest thing she’d seen all week.“Oh, my bad,” she said cheerfully between laughs. “I completely forgot to mention that part.”Kai flexed his arm again, jaw tight, eyes flicking toward her with a look that promised future violence. “Forgot what part,” he asked flatly, voice dangerously calm.Zora waved her fruit in the air, juice splashing. “That’s a Three-Eyed Iron Buffalo.”Kai’s brows twitched. “A what.”“The name is very literal,” she continued happily. “Three eyes. Iron body. Buffalo attitude. Their hides are tough enough that if you dropped a mountain on one, the mountain would apologize first. And their heads?” She tilted her own head thoughtfully. “Their heads are basically divine anvils. You don’t hit them. They hit you.”Kai stared at the
436: The Hard Way.
Hearing Zora’s words, Kai let out a long sigh, the kind that carried resignation rather than protest. There was no point saying anything. He already knew she was more than capable of killing every single beast in this realm without even warming up, yet she had chosen him.That alone told him everything he needed to know. This wasn’t about convenience. This was training. Brutal, unforgiving training, the kind that didn’t ask if you were ready before it started. And whether he liked it or not, it had already begun.Zora lifted a hand casually, fingers flicking through the air like she was swatting away a fly.The ground trembled.The massive herd of buffalo-like beasts suddenly panicked, their synchronized movement breaking apart as if an invisible terror had descended upon them.They scattered in all directions, hooves tearing up the savannah, dust rising into the air in choking waves. Within seconds, the plains that had looked so crowded moments ago were empty.Except for one.A singl
435: Secret Realm And Bad Decision
As they walked deeper into the forest, the atmosphere grew heavier and not because of danger, at least not yet but because of anticipation.The trees thinned in strange patterns, the air subtly shifting in pressure and texture, and Kai could feel it in his bones that this wasn’t just a casual stroll into greenery. Zora didn’t walk like someone exploring. She walked like someone heading straight to a destination she already owned.After a few minutes of silence, she spoke.“Have you mastered the fist technique I gave you?”Kai glanced sideways at her, then forward again, careful with his words. “Yes.”Zora didn’t respond immediately, so he added, “Well… mostly.”She stopped walking and Kai stopped too.“How far,” she asked calmly, “can you use it?”He scratched the back of his head, already bracing himself. “At the moment? About five to seven punches. After that, my arms feel like they’ve been used to hammer mountains.”Zora turned fully to him and studied his face for a long second, e
