C17 New Ways To Train

Kyle ran away for about a kilometer away from the area. The monkey beast was really fast, so if it really wanted to chase and kill Kyle... It would probably succeed. But thankfully the monkey beast didn't bother to follow and chase him.

Kyle found a safety branch in one of the numerous trees in the forest, so he climbed to it and rested. His body was really tired and full of bruises. The hour-long fight took a great toll in his body. Fortunately, his body was also improving at an alarming rate due to the constant battles inside the forest, especially against the monkey beast.

He felt that he could almost break through the 9th stage, so he was quite glad even though he just lost miserably. The fight against the monkey beast was really an eye-opener for him. He saw how strong a Xiantian Realm stage is, making him want to broke through the Xiantian realm even more.

He wondered if who is stronger between the two Xiantian Realm practitioners he met. Usually, a Monster beast is stronger than a Human at the same stage. But once you broke through the Xiantian Realm, the Humans could overcome their dis-advantages by their techniques and Martial Skills. But then again, monster beasts also had their innate skills, just like the one that monkey beasts used in its last attack.

Knowing that he can't get the answer just by thinking about it, Kyle just forgot about it and focused on his cultivation. Cultivating only helps him a bit at this stage, but since his body needs to rest due to his injuries... He could only hold himself back and cultivate peacefully.

The night passed...

Kyle's body was almost recovered... He felt amazed by his ability to recover fast, he only thought that 'maybe this is one of the benefits of being a Body Cultivator' so he only shrugged it and continue to do his daily routine. He stopped looking for beasts to train since there were only a few strong beasts here at the monkey's territory. He only hunts some beasts for eating and preservations.

After the whole day training... Kyle wondered why the monkey beast didn't chase him.

'Maybe because it wasn't so pissed of and didn't wanna chase some lowlife human and waste its time, or maybe because he can't leave the Tree's area' bunches of ideas kept on coming in Kyle's head.

Sooner later... He deduced that maybe the monkey beast was protecting something in that area, hence he can't stay away from it. He wasn't 100 percent sure about this, but since the area was clearly conspicuous... there must be some treasure, or better yet one of those legendary fruits or herbs that could help you improve your body.

Thinking about this... Kyle was smiling widely. Isn't overcoming dangers to seek for treasures a man's dream? So Kyle decided to head back to that area. And since he really wanted to return and battle the monkey beast again to use it for training his body, the treasure was only a bonus for him. But He didn't want to underestimate the monkey beast, so he decided to head back after he is fully recovered.

A day after and his body is now fully recovered. Kyle was thinking for a plan on how to battle the monkey beast. He can't just use the same old move and rip the space and escape once he loses, can't he?. Since he lost after battling the beast for an hour, he decided to just fight the beast in half an hour so he can escape properly.

While walking towards the tree area... Kyle suddenly thought 'what if the beast had companions? what can he do if he gets ambushed?' But then he shrugged it off and thought ' naaah, if it had companions, then why didn't they help finish him off?' Then he continued to walk.

He then thought 'wait... What if he were just lucky and met the monkey beast while its companion was out for something' thinking this made him dread. Kyle was starting to get paranoid and started to doubt his decisions to train against the monkey beast.

He can't sneak in and scout the monkey since, for starters, scouting wasn't his expertise and second, the monkey beast had higher cultivation than him, so it could probably sense him from far away.

But He suddenly had a realization ' no! I can't keep on doing this, I can't just run away because of some maybe this, or maybe that. If this continues... How could I improve myself.' So he resolved his self and continue to walk towards the area where the tree is.

But due to his careful habits, he made some precautions. A few hundred meters away from the area where the tree is. He cut some trees and found some large rocks and stacked them up together and scattered them all around the place.

He wanted to make the path harder to travel and see, so when he escapes he could find a lot of places to hide and block the enemies sights when they chase him. This took him the whole day so he decided to fight the beast for another day since he wanted to avoid fighting when its dark.

Another day has passed and he directly went to the area where the tree and monkey beast is. When he arrived he saw the monkey beast again.

"Oh-oh-oh... You got the guts to return huh! Do you really want to die that badly?!" The monkey mocked him.

"Enough with that rubbish! Come down here if you dare!" Kyle talked shit.

When the monkey heard this, it became speechless. The monkey didn't expect the human to be so shameless. 'Didn't you got pummeled by me like a dog when you last came here?' the monkey thought and he attacked.

The battle went by and the result was the same, Kyle was always on the defensive, but he was a lot better than before since he already saw the fighting style of the monkey.

After a half hour... Kyle retreated safely and the monkey didn't chase him when he reached a few hundred meters away from the tree. This made him think that his guess that the monkey was protecting something from the tree a lot clearer.

Luckily, his conjectures about the monkey having companions weren't right, so this made his retreat easier and he continued his daily training routine. After another day he went back again and fought the monkey beast and retreated.

And this kind of training continued daily. Until two months passed by...
