Volg opened his eyes...he saw Ulker's face looking at him...he realized that he was lying..on the grass..by the river...Ulker heard: Are you all right?...

...Moments passed...He got up, fully conscious, and said, "Yes..I'm fine...but it seems that I won't be able to use this strength much....

Ulker:...as I expected...

Then he added: We have no choice but to train you normally... and train men as well - and this was what would happen in any case - and until the promised day comes, we will think of the plan that we will use....

The wolves had returned to the fish, scattered...Volg approached the river and took a drink...Ulker approached him, saying: Shall we continue our old training?

Volg: Please...

Ulker: So... come on...

Volg: Well...

He seemed focused...Ulker quickly said: Focus your energy on the river and try to feel the energy of the fish...

Volg:!!!!!!

Ulker: All living things have spiritual energy...as long as they are alive...

“But some of them have very little energy… like fish….”

“If you just try to lift a very heavy stone until you lose your strength... then, of course, when you regain your strength, when you try to lift a stone that is-significantly- lighter than it, you will find it easy…”

"Now come on...do it..."

Time passed... and Volg was called for breakfast... then he returned to his training after he finished it...

As for Ulker, he began to train his men after ordering Hora to train his men...

Hours passed... Ulker noticed that most of his men were tired... So he gave them a rest... and went to check on Volg... to find him lying on the ground!... He came close to him and whispered: Volg!

Volg replied: Yes...!

Ulker was a little surprised, then said: You scared me, boy!

Volg opened his eyes and looked at him... Ulker said: So... you run out of energy and you can't feel the fish - the energy of the fish, of course - right?

Volg: No...

Ulker:!!?

Volg: Yes, I ran out of energy, but at the last moment I could feel the fish's spiritual energy...

Ulker: Are you kidding?!?

Volg: Huh!? Why would I be kidding?!

Ulker: You... you're really not normal at all! No one in the world learns so fast!

Then he was silent for a while..... Then he said: Huh! Would I be amazed at how quickly you learn while your body holds the soul of a bear along with yours, and this bear has superhuman strength in its turn!

Volg thought: What if I knew that my soul came from another world and belonged to a creature about which you knew nothing!... What if I knew that I am more amazed than you while I live in the body of an animal that speaks in the midst of talking animals!

Added Ulker: When the King told me that a savior would save us, I thought he would be a seasoned military leader, skilled in combat....

And here Volg heard a voice in his mind that marked it as belonging to a light wolf: You are not so wrong, Ulker....

Volg was astonished and said (in his mind, of course): What do you mean?!

The wolf replied: It doesn't matter...don't worry too much...

Ulker spoke: Relax now

And here Folg said in his mind: I am already well rested...

As Ulker continued - he didn't stop talking at all -: And let's continue training when you get your energy back....

An hour passed....Ulker returned to his men's training...Then he let them train and went to Volg and found him sleeping!...Wake him up...Then he said: Try to spread your energy as wide as possible, then tell me the types of inner energy that are around you from the closest further....

There was a little silence, and Volg focused a lot.... Then he said after a while: "There's a bit of a lot of energy right in front of me...

Then there are several good energies left in front of me, and then there are many small energies... dozens...

Then there is a rather large energy in front of me, and next to it there are quite a few energies....

And on the left in front of me are dozens of good energies... and several fairly large energies and great energy... Then..."

Ulker interrupted: "Enough...let's do what you said! First I'm in front of you...

And on the left in front of you is the kingdom of camels, in which there are soldiers: their energy is good - as you say - and citizens: their energy is small, leaders: their energy is kinda big, and a king: his energy is great....

And in front of you are my men (their energy is okay) and with them are Leon (whose energy is kinda big)....."

There was a little silence.... Then Ulker said: Well... I think you've mastered this (kind of).... Let's move on to the second level....

"First make a small ball of energy and squeeze the energy into it until I stop you..."

Volg closed his eyes a little, then opened them and focused them on an imaginary dot....After a little while a transparent ball - a little bluish - began to appear, getting closer to blue as time passed...

“Okay, stop,” Ulker said. (The ball stopped turning blue) Let the ball go... (The ball started losing its color until it disappeared)....

Ulker continued: Well, your energy is cold Like me - as expected - so you have to master the use of the shield to get past the second level... Now let's start the exercise!

Two hours passed, and Volg was training, Ulker's men, Hora's men, and Breaker....

Now it's time to fish for lunch...

All the wolves headed to the river to fish even though they were exhausted from training...

But they were not the only ones who were exhausted, as the river was also exhausted - if the expressing was permissible - as the fish almost ran out of it!...

The wolves could hardly catch enough - hardly - to feed them all - wolves, cats, foxes -...

After they finished their food and rested a little, Ulker met with the king and Hora and decided to travel to the kingdom of gazelle - where Gax and those with him - during the next two weeks, using the river road in their travel.....

The cats and foxes were organized, then the walk started…

They walked until nightfall... Then they stopped, and the wolves went to the river to hunt... They ate dinner, and then got ready for bed...

The next morning came...the wolves went hunting...they had breakfast...then the training started...(everyone is training)

After quite a while, Folgh mastered the energy shield... Ulker said: Good! It's time to move to Level 3!... Level 3 is the level of Special Techniques... Watch me closely....

He closed his eyes a little and then opened them... and behold, several transparent blue blades (similar to swords) were forming around him in the air (five blades in particular).

Then each blade went in a different direction, then the blades came back again and disappeared.....

Ulker said, "This is my own technology, flying blades - that's how I called it -...

“There are three ways to obtain a special technique, - and the special techniques are many and countless, and most are the same - but you must increase your spiritual energy before using any of the three….

“There are two ways to increase spiritual energy. The first is slow, so we will ignore it, the second is relatively fast, which is: fighting the embodiment of energy in the mind.”

Volg: !!!What?

Ulker: As I heard you will enter your mind and fight your energy, to the death!...

Volg:!!!!

Ulker: I mean, no one can die in their minds for sure!...But you both - your consciousness and your energy - will fight and each wants to kill the other as a physical entity, and until you lose your strength you will continue to fight, the more you fight, the more energy you will have!.. .

Volg: Well...

Ulker: But there are two things you need to know before you start... First, do you know how to move in your mind?

Volg: I remember I used to move around a bit in my mind sometimes, but I don't remember how! - Or I don't know-...

Ulker: You are in your mind, so you move at will. If you want to move up you move up, and if you want to move down you move down, Before forward, behind backward, and so on.....

“Secondly - the mind of a being who can use spiritual energy is immersed in it, you must try to control it, but the preference stay for the embodiment of energy, because it is from it and is directly connected to it, so you have to do your best, because if the fight is one-sided, you will not benefit much. ..."

Volg: Well...

Ulker: Ready?

Volg: Yeah...

Ulker: So come on!
