Sunrise, at the forest close to Blue Crystal City.
On a rocky hilltop, Arthur was practicing a set of martial arts techniques.
Martial Art Techniques are techniques that let the cultivator use their strength in a specific manner by the technique, and are made for battle.
They are ranked the same way as Spirit Crystals, and are divided into;
*Mortal Rank.
*Profound Rank.
*Earth Rank...and
*Heaven Rank.
"Symmetrical Battle Technique," Arthur said as he went through all he knew about the technique.
This was a martial arts technique that did not have any official rank and could be practiced even at a higher cultivation level.
It is one such technique that will grow stronger as the user gets more powerful. Arthur got this technique from the memories of his past life.
It was a technique that had multiple variations. It had fist techniques, leg techniques, palm techniques, and finger techniques.
It also teaches one how to use the body in perfect coordination and control. Arthur had been practicing it for a few days now and had gained control over his newly gained strength.
He has also made progress in the technique and now he had some confidence in taking anyone of the same cultivation.
Because even if they had the same strength, he would be able to release a greater amount of force due to his mastery of this technique.
"Hah!"
Arthur took a step forward and gave a full-powered punch, and then smoothly switch to an elbow hit.
"Hmph!"
After that, his leg followed as it drew an arc in the air and stopped just midway, and Arthur jumped in that position and kicked with the other leg while simultaneously landing with the other one.
*Woosh!* freew(e)bnove(l)
The wave of air moved in the direction of Arthur's kick as he finally stopped his training and took a deep breath.
"With this technique, my attacks are unpredictable as I can freely change attacks at any speed and at any time," Arthur analyzed.
This was a hard technique to master. As one would need to have perfect control over their body flexibility and strength, along with a fast reaction speed.
Comprehension is also a major determiner of if one can master this technique. Arthur remembers that it took him years in his past life, but less than three days to master this life.
"It should be because of my soul, and the overall talent of my current self," Arthur concluded.
At the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, one would have the power of six thousand pounds at the very least. Although some have greater strength in the same rank and that could be due to several factors.
One of those factors ate the quality of resources used in tempering the body. Another is the physical talent of the person, and the last is endurance, as some could not endure the tempering to the end and skip some parts on tempering a particular part of their bodies.
But Arthur's strength at this level is over fifteen thousand pounds, and with the Symmetrical Battle Technique, he can release a force of over twenty thousand pounds.
"With such strength, I should be able to easily lift a truck back on Earth," said Arthur as he turned to leave.
This was his routine for the past few days. He would come up here and do what he refers to as his morning workout. And go back to the inn.
Although so far he had avoided going deep into the forest as he felt he wasn't ready to face any spirit beast yet.
'I would have to do that soon though,' Arthur thought.
'Meanwhile, I still haven't encountered anything related to a sword. Or should I go to another city? My fate sense hasn't given me any feedback.'
He had broken the seal on his body that stopped him from cultivation. But he hasn't sensed any direction concerning the sword.
"I guess I should not be relying too much on that ability. It is only there to assist me and not dictate the direction of my life," Arthur said while making a decision not to take everything he saw in his fate sense at face value. f(r)eewebnovel.com
Because things may not be as they seem in a vision as it is often vague.
"For now, I should just focus on getting to the peak of the Physique Transformation Stage and awaken my martial soul."
**********
"What, you already reached the peak of the Body Tempering Stage in three days?!" Helia said in shock back at the Rose Gold Inn.
They were in their rented place and Helia just learned of Arthur's progress. Arthur had already told her that he could finally cultivate, which made her cry in joy for him.
But he didn't tell her that he reached the peak in a few hours.
"Yeah, why are you getting so surprised?" Arthur asked with a 'confused' expression.
Helia rolled her eyes, "Don't you act dumb now, as I know how knowledgeable you are."
"Arthur, you are a genius!"
"Of course, I am the MC of the universe after all," Arthur replied with a grin.
"Yeah, keep trolling yourself," Helia sneered and then left the room.
"I'm going to order food," She said as she left.
Arthur chuckled, "I shouldn't have taught her of the term I learned on earth, trolling. Now she knows when I am trolling her."
"That isn't good. I need to keep some things to myself. Most especially, my anime references," Arthur muttered and he reminisced back to some happy memories of his otaku lifestyle.

Meanwhile, outside Rose Gold Inn, on the streets...
The skinny figure of a young boy walked unsteadily until he arrived in front of the inn.
The guard at the entrance to the Rose Gold Inn saw the boy and frowned, "Hey, this place isn't for beggers. Leave at once!"
"Sir, please let me in. I...have money," said the boy in a dry voice, that made him sound like he hadn't Drunk water for days.
The boy brought out a tiny sack filled with bronze coins and showed the guard.
The guard just frowned and slapped the bag away and shouted at the boy, "This place is not for beggers like you, leave!"
"That's the boy!"
"Catch him!"
