Chapter 4: Training begins
As the information entered Shaon's head, his expression turned solemn as he sorted it out. Seeing this Remy was pleasantly surprised, although the soul for the two of them was the same, a person differs from experience. In one life, a person can be the most cold blooded and ruthless killer but in another it could be a flower sniffer that didn't even hurt an ant.
““Blood Crystal Dagger” works the same way as a Blood Weapon but with a difference. You condense the dagger and it grows in strength along the creator but there is no limit on how many you can create. The more you have, the more options in terms of fighting you have.” Shaon thought to himself as he summarized the information.
This truly was a powerful technique if you had enough daggers. You didn't necessarily have to hold the dagger but it followed your commands telepathically. It was similar to a flying sword, with one thought you could make it fly forward or sideways. In all of the information, there was one peculiar thing that piqued Shaons interest.
He looked at Remy and asked, “What are “Tartaros Chains”? In the technique it said that when you combined the daggers with “Tartaros Chains”, you could use a technique called “Chain Prison.””
Remy thought for a second before starting, ““Tartaros Chains” are these same ones.” He pointed at the chains that were wrapped around him. “These chains have the ability to disrupt any Qi from gathering. So people bound by these chains can not use any form of Qi to break them, only brute strength can be used.” Hearing that Shaon was baffled, “This guy is like a dictionary of brokenly over powered techniques.”
However, even Shaon could understand that any technique is only as good as it's user. If you give someone the strongest technique in the world but that person has practically no idea how to use it properly, he could at best match a mediocre person. Remy looked at Shaon and gave a faint smile, “Time to start training.”
Immediately Shaon straightened up and started listening intently. He was quite curious on how this was supposed to work. Seeing Shaon with such a serious expression pleased Remy. There was nothing better than teaching a person who was actually interested. Remy gave a nod of approval and started, “Before we begin, let me say this: Hold your questions for when I am done. That keeps us from getting distracted.”

Shaon nodded signaling that he understood what Remy meant. Seeing this Remy continued, “First things first, the way you have been cultivating until now is bullshit. It works well for Qi Refiners but for Body Refiners it is not worth shit.” Hearing that Shaon was surprised, it was the same as saying that he sucked at cultivating.
“For a Body Refiner it is more beneficial to exhaust his body through physical training first and then absorbing Qi. You get muscle, experience and Qi. If you first exhaust your Qi and then absorb more, you will always absorb more than before. So this kind of training is like killing 3 birds with one stone. There are more benefits to this like getting familiar with your body, stress situations etc but mainly it can be summed up with what I said in the beginning.”
When Shaon heard Remy say that, he thought over it for a second and could only agree. You can't get fighting experience through sitting in a cave and cultivating. Remy looked at Shaon with a serious look and said, “Cultivating “Bloody Angel” is different from the way you cultivate other Body techniques. When with other Body techniques you get a feel of your body through cultivating and meditating, “Bloody Angel” focuses more on fighting. Through fighting you get a better feel of your own body and how to use your Blood Weapons in the most effective way there is.”
He loosened up a bit before adding, “The limits of technique are not known even to me, so you should understand what I am saying?” Shaon understood what he meant by that. Usually a cultivation technique has been cultivated by countless people so the vague outlines of what it can do are known.
However “Bloody Angel” has been cultivated by only one other person and that was the creator of the technique. There was still a world of possibilities in terms of how to use it well. “Now then, I will tell you how I plan on having you train.” As Remy said that, he condensed black shackles and threw them to Shaon.
As Shaon caught them, he was immediately surprised, these ordinary looking shackles weighed a hell lot. And there were four of them, so each hand and leg got one. “Now then, these shackles will help you in your body training, you can not take them off unless I give you permission to do so. When you wear them, they will restrict your Qi gathering and usage by half, so when you get used to them, it will be like a trump card when you take them off.” As Remy explained the method and what it would also bring as benefits, Shaon nodded.

He understood very well, what a trump card meant in this world. Lets say someone was on par in terms of battle strength when he had the shackles on, if he removed them, then he could easily overpower him. A trump card was one more chance at life, you could never have too many.
However, Shaon was wondering if the shackles could be taken out of his Dantian or not. Seeing the wonderment, Remy guessed what he was thinking and said, “These shackles can be taken out. A Dantian is like an inter spacial ring you can store items in it provided that they aren't alive. However it is not advised to carry useless junk in your Dantian, only truly valuable things. The room inside a Dantian is approximately 10x10x10 meters, so it won't fit a lot of things either. So getting an inter spacial ring is beneficial for carrying around money and not so valuable things.”
Shaon understood the benefits and logic around the Dantian space. Afterwards Remy went over the training regime in detail and answered question that Shaon had. After 3 hours they were done and Shaon decided to start the training. As he exited his Dantian, he withdrew the shackles with the method Remy taught and put them on. When he put them on, he immediately felt his Qi being suppressed and his hands and feet were also very heavy.
“This will truly help me train a lot better than before.” Shaon thought to himself as he tried to move around a bit. The shackles were currently set to weigh 10KG each, so combined they weighed 40KG. Currently, this was his limit, as his body developed, the weight can be increased. He quickly got used to the weight and looked at the little black monkey who had woken up now.
The monkey looked at him with curious eyes and Shaon said, “Now that you have woken up, go.” As he tried to shoo him away, the little monkey refused to leave. Shaon had never had a pet so he didn't have confidence in keeping the little monkey around. After half an hour of trying, he gave up and reluctantly let the monkey follow him.
The monkey had intelligence that rivaled a human so it could understand him, however it could not talk. So the little monkey used his hands and body language to communicate with Shaon. It was like a game of charades. As the little black monkey followed Shaon, they soon reached the road again. Since it was around noon, Shaon decided to start traveling along the road to find a village.
He still had the low quality inter spacial ring that he had gotten from one of the elites two years back. In it was a bit of money, so he wasn't penniless but a lot of things inside the ring were worthless or useless to him, so he had dumped them out a long time ago.
When Shaon couldn't go on anymore, he sat down to absorb Qi and nourish his body. After a bit of meditating, he was shocked at the speed in which the cells absorbed the Qi. “This is at least 10 times faster than it was before.” As Shaon thought to himself, he finally understood the importance of a mentor. Someone experienced makes cultivating a lot easier than doing it alone. “Seems like I seriously need to listen to the man.” While he chuckled that to himself, inside his Dantian Remy opened his eyes.
He clenched his fist as he quietly mumbled to himself, “Seems like I only have around 8 months left. I need to step up pounding my knowledge into this guy. If I don't the chances of him surviving a Dimensional War is extremely slim.”
Remy's eyes turned a bit cold as he remembered the Dimensional Wars.

P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT: Aeon Genesis
The first project focusing on four protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century Europe.This is the first P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT focusing on 3 (+1) protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century-esque Europe. Each story has its own protagonists (Male or Female Lead), genres (mainly Western Fantasy), and can be read as a standalone. Status: OngoingUpdate(s) per week: 1Words per chapter: 3000 - 6000 *** ‘A human or not; a king or a servant; hope or despair; a hero or a villain.’ Depending on one's perspective and how each story portrays, one will view an individual or a group as evil or virtuous. Because of that, it depends on the reader and listener to believe which one is the truth. More people read and trust multiple (trusted?) sources that either complement or contradict one another. The contradiction becomes the source of debates between those who believe and those who don’t. From that difference in belief, two groups appear: The Majority and The Minority. The majority, having more people, suppress the minorities’ beliefs, claiming theirs, the majorities’, to be the truth. However, the majority are not only composed solely of those who share the same belief but also those who know the truth but afraid to admit it. They have to keep quiet and turn a blind eye for their safety. The majority had to submit to those with power and authority. With the majority under control, those with power and authority can create, manipulate, and/or fabricate truth and lies by force. The reason was for one’s or group’s personal benefits. In the end, there is no such thing as ‘absolute truth’; only sugar-coated lies created by the top. Don’t believe me? It is up to you to decide. Go and read it yourself.
