Chapter 1217: Training Monster: Attaining Flight
Liu Heng, that was his current name. He was the scion of the Liu Family, an aristocratic family that had an Imperial Meister. On top of that, if nothing else changed, he was supposed to become the next Imperial Meister.
Not only did the current him have authority, but he also had an affluent background. Even though he was only ten years old, he was one of the most promising students in Iron Peak County's County Academy.
From young, he was a talented child, carefully groomed by the Liu Family to become their successor. Now that Krune had reincarnated into such a talented child, he was a bit happy. 'It seems that since I have killed five Demon Arms wielders before my death, my current reincarnation has received quite a lot of benefits.'
'But this time, I won't take action so hurriedly.' Krune clenched his hand into a fist, mulling over his plans. 'I'll first train and achieve the peak of my power. With my knowledge of body cultivation, I'll be able to grow really strong even without the development effect.'
Upon seeing that he was alright, Krune excused himself from the infirmary, returning to his dorm to rest.
From the next day onward, he began to attend classes. The classes only consisted of mundane stuff that he gained an understanding of after reading through the contents for a couple of weeks. After that, for the rest of the duration during the classes, all he did was close his eyes and meditate.
He had become mad due to the rapid influx of memories he had received. So, the moment Krune tried to take action right now, he would come off as insane. In fact, that was why he didn't do anything, spending the mornings meditating during the classes while training during the evenings and the late nights.
He was building up both his body and mind, creating a weapon capable of going head-to-head against the Demon, with the goal of winning this time.
During the night, Krune summoned his Cloud Whale, noticing that it was even stronger compared to when he summoned it as Shi Jiang. Not only was it healthier, but it was also able to grow in strength now.
After all, unlike the bodies of everyone that he reincarnated until now, Liu Heng was a child, only at ten years old. His body was rapidly growing with every passing day.
In other words, with the development of his body, the development of the Cloud Whale would quickly follow, being intrinsically connected.
As its strength increased, its size also increased, soon reaching the size of his head after a couple of months of practice. Krune also trained in his Sonic Radar, making his body used to the sensations, increasing the density of his body by training accordingly.
He increased his body weight, making his muscles strong. At times, he looked through the library, finding some recipes to create concoctions that would help temper his body better.
His insane training regiment did catch the eyes of a lot of teachers. However, they were unable to say anything to him. After all, his scores were perfect.
During one of such days, Krune found Wang Hao and Chen Xue, noticing that they were part of a nearby class. Upon seeing them, he was happy immediately, calling for them, "Hey, you guys!"
"Lord, did you summon us?" Wang Hao and Chen Xue arrived before him and made a polite bow, privy of his status. As they were already sensible children, the couple of months of stay in the academy already taught them everything they had to know in relation to etiquette, the status of the students studying there, and so forth.
So, they didn't wish to offend such a powerful person.
"As fellow students, you must call me Liu Heng," Krune smiled as he said, casually shaking hands with the other two before dragging them with him. "I was bored training alone. Come join me!"
"But, we have classes after this!" Chen Xue smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry about that," Krune waved his hand as he replied. "I'll teach you everything later."
He was well aware of the secret the two children held. After all, he was the one that had created them in the first place. So, he wished to teach them and take care of them so that they would turn into strong people that he could depend upon.
"Fight me!" Saying so, he threw a bunch of wooden swords at them, forcing them to pick one as he wielded one himself.
Immediately, he fought them, cornering them after ten moves before defeating them. Of course, he only exhibited swordplay that looked like something a genius ten-year-old was capable of showing. He didn't exert his true strength.
"You… are strong, Liu Heng!" Wang Hao smirked, getting up from the ground as he said, "Let's go again!"
"Sure." Laughing in response, Krune fought against them. While fighting them, Krune felt his mind relax a little. His stress was decreasing while the countless cracks in his mind, resultant of the memories from countless people, was being mended.
In short, their simple exchange was actually the medicine required to heal his mind faster. Moreover, he was also training the two to become strong. Thus, he was hitting two birds with one stone.
Every day, once classes ended, Krune dragged the two with him to train, teaching them some stuff related to their homework while training with them for the rest of the time.
Upon hearing countless remarks from the passing students that regarded the three as weird, Krune didn't seem too bothered. Instead, he sent a letter to the Liu Family, requesting for a manor to be provided in the academy for the three of them to stay.
Of course, it was easily provided. In the County, the Liu Family was one of the strongest families. So, they possessed a lot of authority.
With that, the trio were able to peacefully train. For the next five years, Krune completely forgot about himself, his objectives, everything. He wholeheartedly immersed himself in training both his body and mind, attuning himself to his Cloud Whale as much as he could.
And finally, five years since he had begun training, Krune arrived at the courtyard in the middle of the night, sighing as he gently kicked the ground with his foot, taking off into the air. Arriving at a height of four meters off the ground, Krune hovered in place.
He had finally attained flight!
