《My Path of Justice》Chapter 6: No rest for you
Advertisement
It was now dusk, Muyou and Yiqi had spent the whole afternoon trying to memorise and master the Destroying of Limits exercise. Grandmaster Hong had used a wooden stick to guide their strokes and their circulation of their Inner Strength.
"Let's call it a day!" Grandmaster Hong sat down as he drank some water from the bucket. Guiding their movements personally for the whole afternoon was indeed quite tiring. Especially for Grandmaster Hong who was used to lazing around.
Muyou and Yiqi had a very puzzled look on their face. Grandmaster Hong had been too lenient in the afternoon training, far more lenient than the morning training. Grandmaster's training could not possibly be so simple.
Just as they were about to head back to their cave, Grandmaster Hong raised his hand.
"Who said you two can just return back to the cave to rest? I've only said that the day is over, but the night training has just begun!"
Muyou and Yiqi groaned. Although they had already expected that the afternoon training would not end just like that, they still hoped to rest.
"You two are to go out and hunt three wolves each before returning to the cave. Once you bring back three wolves' corpses, then you can return to the cave to rest. Remember, I want the whole corpse, not just the skin or the head. Oh and settle your dinner yourselves."
Just as Grandmaster Hong started to walk away, Yiqi shouted, "Grandmaster Hong! What about our weapons, can you give us back our weapons?"
Grandmaster Hong turned his head and smiled. "No weapons until I said so. Your body will be your best weapon. Be careful not to end up as dinner for the wolves."
Just like that, Grandmaster Hong sent a weaponless 10 year old and a 9 year old boy to hunt for wolves. Anybody would call Grandmaster Hong insane or a sadist sending young boys to die.
"Grandmaster Hong is insane!" Yiqi muttered to Muyou, who nodded silently.
As the night falls, night predators started to emerge out of their caves to hunt. In the middle of the jungle, there was a fire and laughters could be heard. It was actually Muyou and Yiqi who were eating their dinner. They had managed to kill a deer, eating a portion of it as dinner while scattering the remains around them as bait for the wolves.

"It was just one day of training and we have improved so much!"
Muyou and Yiqi were conversing excitedly about their improvements. After one day of training, they were able to kill a deer with their bare hands! Although they struggled quite a bit, they were very satisfied with their performance.
As they continued laughing away, they felt several eyes staring at them. When they turned around, they noticed that they were surrounded by a pack of wolves, numbering to around a dozen.
"Well well, guess it is finally time for work." Muyou stood up as he threw away the bone he was gnawing on.
"Big Brother, don't just rush straight into them, remember Grandmaster Hong's teachings." Yiqi reminded Muyou, he was worried that Muyou would be over-confident.
"Bah! Don't nag too much."
Muyou and Yiqi were now standing with their back facing each other.
"AWHOO!"
After several loud howls, 4 of the wolves charged straight towards Muyou and Yiqi.
"Keep calm, keep calm. Remember to be the master of your body... Gather your inner strength and circulate them like the Destroying of Limits exercise." Muyou and Yiqi desperately tried to calm themselves and remember Grandmaster Hong's teachings.
As the first wolf pounced towards Muyou, Muyou simply twisted his hips and delivered an uppercut to it's stomach. The wolf was sent flying away. As another wolf tried to attack Yiqi's right leg, Yiqi dragged his right leg backwards, and delivered a slap to the wolf's face, sending it tumbling away.
These movements seemed pretty normal, but there were minimal wasteful moves. Every muscle movement served a purpose in avoiding an attack and delivering a blow. The blows dealt by them, were filled with their inner strength. Although they had not cultivated a monstrous amount of inner strength or completely mastered the control of inner strength, they were able to gather and utilise whatever little inner strength they had. A blow with inner strength was several times more powerful than a blow relying just on brute strength.
As the other two wolves attacked Muyou and Yiqi, they utilised parts of the Destroying of Limits exercise again, the footworks to avoid the wolves and the strokes to strike the wolves. Although they appeared to be handling the situation with ease, they were sweating profusely. They were focusing heavily on their usage of inner strength.

After being repelled by Muyou and Yiqi, the wolves returned to the rest of the pack as the pack started to circle around Muyou and Yiqi. Moreover, other than forcing the wolves back, their attacks did not seem to critically wound the wolves.
"Guess, this might not be so easy afterall... Let's hope we survive the night." Muyou said with a bitter smile. Yiqi frowned a little too. "Don't worry if Grandmaster Hong gave us this mission, that means it is within our capabilities."
"AWHOOO!"
After another howl, all of the wolves charged towards Muyou and Yiqi simultaneously. It seemed like they were going to launch simultaneous attacks.
"COME YOU BEASTS! LET ME SHOW YOU WHO IS THE BOSS!" Muyou roared as he leapt forward. Meanwhile on Yiqi's side, he took a step back and stretched out his hand readying for the attack.
Both Muyou and Yiqi were totally absorbed in this battle. With each attack and defence movement, they were trying to link the moves with the Destroying of Limits exercise. Each footwork, each stroke, each punch and each kick, they thought of the moves in Destroying of Limits exercise and rapidly circulated their Inner Strength.
However, the simultaneous attacks launched by the wolves proved too much for them to handle. They were struggling to circulate their Inner Strength around to deliver deadly blows to every one of the attacking wolves, and to execute the footworks swiftly. Soon, scratches and bite-marks started to appear on Muyou and Yiqi's bodies. The wolves were not any better too. They started to limp and showed other signs of injury, as Muyou and Yiqi repeatedly landed blows on them, blows which contained Inner Strength.
Meanwhile on top of a tree nearby, stood Grandmaster Hong watching cautiously.
"This is the fastest way to master the control of your inner strength and grow your inner strength. By throwing yourself into danger, and being pressured to constantly quicken your moves. Who would have thought of this genius method, except for me! Hahaha." Grandmaster Hong laughed in his heart as he nodded approvingly.
True enough, in this battle, Muyou and Yiqi's Inner Strength have improved significantly. The constant quickening of circulation of Inner Strength, the pressure to force Inner Strength around the meridians had caused some of the meridian points to widened by a little bit. When dealing out simultaneous blows, they had learnt to split their Inner Strength. When they were entangled with a wolf, and it was too late to circulate their Inner Strength to deal with another approaching wolf, in that moment of pressure, their body would manage to squeeze out an additional tiny amount of Inner Strength. Muyou and Yiqi did not know of these improvements because they were too busy in focusing on the wolves.
This method of training, was indeed a madman's way of training.
"STOP THERE!"
Muyou leapt forward and slammed his right leg onto the head of a wolf who was trying to escape. Two hours had past and 10 of the wolves were either dead or critically wounded on the ground.
*BAM!*
Yiqi delivered a swift punch and sent the last wolf flying. After a tough battle, Muyou and Yiqi had finally killed twelve wolves!
"We did it... We killed..." Muyou muttered as he collapsed onto the ground.
Yiqi limped to Muyou and lied down beside him. "Yes we did it... Don't sleep, we have to return to the cave with the corpses." Yiqi said with a huge grin on his face, but as he completed his sentence, he too slipped into unconsciousness.
Suddenly, Grandmaster Hong descended from the tree and rushed towards them. Muyou and Yiqi were now covered with wounds and their clothes were drenched with blood, at first sight people would have thought they were dead.
Grandmaster Hong immediately popped two medicinal pills into Muyou and Yiqi's mouth, and inspected their pulses.
"Phew. Luckily they merely fainted from exhaustion. If these two talents were to die, it will be a waste. They really surprised me, taking down twelve wolves. It seems like their rewards from tonight's battle were greater than what I expected." He sighed as he inspected their injuries.
"Since you have done much better than what I have expected. Let me give you two a present."
Grandmaster Hong smiled as he took out a pocket of silver acupuncture needles.
"Let me help you unblock the eight hidden meridian points"
The eight hidden meridian points were not part of the 150 meridian points, but were the eight additional meridian points which only a few people like Grandmaster Hong knew of. These eight meridian points were not any ordinary meridian points!

8 571Project TheirWorld: Book Two - Tatterskin
**IMPORTANT: Because I am trying to reconcile some of the consistancy issues due to unexpected changes in how I've decided to write the story, this story is to be renamed/reordered. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) is now to be concidered as Book One of Tatterskin. Tatterskin will contiune without real inturruption, though "Book Two" is really going to be the rest of the series with multiple volumes. Sorry guys! I've gone and brought the chaos of my real life into the storyverse T-T. ----- Dassah Graydon was just another human woman looking for adventure in her life when she moved to the academic floating continent, the Enclave. But while she wanted to escape her mundane reality, she quickly discovers that her life there – with the exception of all the crazy aliens and the unusual setting – was no different than her life on Earth had been. After spending a couple of months getting used to the place, she finally got the chance to play the popular new VRMMORPG, TheirWorld. As she is drawn deeper and deeper into the game, however, she begins to realize that her in-game life is far more connected to the happenings of reality than she could have imagined. Finding herself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens her life and the lives of the people around her, Dassah must decide whether she allows herself to be a puppet, or she finds the determination to become the master of her own fate. This is a Project: TheirWorld story, and there is a prequel story, The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) but if I am doing my job, you won't need to have read that to enjoy this one. ____ The story will usually update once a week, sometime on Fridays JST. The updates on Royal Road L will be about 1 chapter behind my main WordPress site found here: Project: TheirWorld. This will change, as the WordPress site will have holiday releases and RRL will not. Thank you for reading, and the support! :) ____

8 138Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
