Chapter Six: The Secret Training Ground
Mo Tian walked through the narrow alleys of the city, his eyes searching for a quiet place, far from prying eyes.
He didn't need an audience or fame—he needed absolute privacy.
Soon, he stopped in front of a small, old house tucked into a deserted corner.
He glanced at the system:
[Location available for rent: Yes]
[Cost: 5 local coins]
[Suggestion: Rent this place now to make it a private training ground]
Mo Tian smiled coldly:
"Physically weak… but even an abandoned house can become a kingdom of power."
He paid quickly and closed the door behind him.
Inside, he began to prepare the place: balance stones, wooden rods for basic techniques, and a small area for movement and practice.
The air was thick with a sense of challenge, yet now this was his private ground, away from anyone's eyes.
Beginning the Training
A system window appeared before him:
[Refinement Stage: Beginner Level]
[Training Objectives: Improve body control, learn basic movements, increase defense awareness]
[Duration: Based on learning speed]
[Suggestion: Start with basic movements and analyze each step]
Mo Tian smirked:
"Finally… a safe place to learn, without anyone laughing at me."
The system guided him directly:
"Start with the basic exercises: hand movements, foot balance, coordinate breathing with motion."
Mo Tian moved step by step, every motion calculated precisely.
The system provided instant feedback:
[Movement Accuracy: 70%]
[Body Control: +2]
[Improvement Suggestion: Right-hand angle off by 5 degrees]
He smirked internally:
"Your system is smart… but it will never know I can learn faster than expected."
Refining Defense
After hours of practice, the system added a new challenge:
"Train to defend against a virtual attack. Focus on reaction speed and balance."
Mo Tian began to observe the air as if predicting every movement.
With each repetition, he improved steadily:
[Reaction Speed: +10%]
[Balance Stability: +3]
[Suggestion: Combine hand movement with a forward step]
"Even my weak body can be effective… everything here is about intelligence and control."
Testing Intelligence and Wit
The system didn't just monitor physical performance—it tested his mind as well:
Analyze every possible future movement
Predict potential opponent reactions
Integrate environment into each step
Mo Tian paused, reviewing each motion, smirking wryly:
"This is where the real journey begins… not with strength, but with system, planning, and intelligence."
End of the Day
After hours of intensive training, he stood in the center of the small house, breathing slowly.
The system displayed a new window:
[Current Progress: 15%]
[Self-Defense Ability: Beginner]
[Suggestion for Next Stage: Learn basic attacks]
Mo Tian smiled coldly:
"The first step is simple… but it lays the foundation for everything. Next stage? Basic attacks… the true power begins soon."✅ Notes on this version:Clear foreshadowing for learning offensive skills later.
