Chapter 6: Fighting a Wave Warrior
Cain ran for almost an hour before reaching a secluded part of the forest. He enjoyed training here due to the serenity of the location.
After resting for around five minutes, Cain took a couple of rusty weights covered by the roots of a large tree and continued exercising.
Another hour went like that, and then the youth performed a series of martial arts moves.
The improvement granted by physical exercise could not compare with Wave Cultivation, but Cain knew that being in peak physical condition helped the body draw Life Wave faster. While the help it provided was minuscule, it was the only method someone like Cain could get access to.
For his final training, Cain put arm guards and leg guards before adopting a martial stance in front of a large tree and began to strike it.
Cain’s attacks were precise and carried great control, proving how diligent he was with his training.
Performing those blows put significant pressure on Cain’s body, making a sharp pain appear in his ribs where Jonathan had punched him, but that only made him put more strength into his strikes.
.....
The sharper the pain in his ribs, the more strength Cain put in his punches. He only stopped after feeling blood leak through his arm guards.
