Chapter 11 Hellish Training And Strong Determination
-General POV-
A boy was surrounded by giant trees with thick outer barks near Mount Rusher. A man was there, lifting a boulder three times his size while squatting... Veins were protruding from his forehead and throughout his body. He was bathed in sweat, which produced a strong odor.
After five hours of doing nothing... He pulled a rope from nowhere and tied it to the boulder, continuing to tie it around his waist as he ran up the mountain at full speed with the boulder tied to his back. As he runs up the mountain, gravity continues to slow him down. He was already in the middle of the mountain after thirty minutes...
He was panting profusely, his face was pale, and his lips were chapped. It was worth noting that in his previous life, the mountain was as tall as Mount Everest. Despite the struggle and stress his body was experiencing, he continued to move forward, his eyes shining with determination. Even when his knees are already weak that they can give on their own. Despite this, he decided to press on.

A man was lying on the mountain's crest, his chest caving up and down as he tried desperately to breathe. Because the number of molecules in the air at higher altitudes is much lower (the air is thinner), there is less pressure to push the air into the lungs and a lower percentage of oxygen in the air. This makes it difficult for him to breathe. Not to mention after enduring a grueling training regimen... It only added to his misery.

He finally manages to rest and adapt to his new surroundings in this manner. He made the decision to hunt the wild beast in order to regain his strength faster. Hunting wild animals was simple due to his current strength... Even in his frail state, he can knock them out in a matter of seconds.
Because of the difference in strength, the normal wild beast no longer gives him exp. That's why he decided to discipline his body and mind. First, he was unable to locate a hunting ground that could provide him with valuable experience. He had already inquired of his Captain as to where the magical beasts congregated.
The good news is that there is a place where the ferocious beasts can run wild. The bad news was that it was a long distance away from his current location. At least thirty cities are in the way.

The constant screeching of owls can be heard throughout the entire area... The moon had already risen above the horizon... The light provided solace in the midst of the world's darkness... A bonfire was lit, and a small tent was set up beside it, where Fain was resting.

-Morning-
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the sun shining brightly on my face. I covered my eyes because they were sore from having just woken up. I stuck to my schedule and prepared myself to learn martial arts from an anime called "Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple," in which a boy was trained in martial arts by various masters.
I decided to learn their Karate, Muay Thai, Jujutsu, Chinese Kenpo, and the Furinji Style. I decided to devote myself to this martial arts for the whole training duration while also tempering my body as much as I can. These martial arts will help me to cover the remaining weaknesses of my fighting style becoming more versatile. And make me adapt to the ever-changing battlefield and cope with different kinds of situations.

I used my brain recall ability once more, which had been boosted to unimaginable heights by my talent. I was also able to organize the memory of the previous owner as a result of it... Unfortunately, there was nothing useful on it that could have led me to the culprit, but there was a strange memory on it about his group of friends picking up a book.
Forget about that... I tried to recall how Sasaki trained Kenichi with multiple stances and Kata from various Karate styles, teaching him the fundamentals of self-defense and countering. Sakaki primarily taught Kenichi a variety of defensive techniques, emphasizing the philosophy that "Defense" is the true nature of Karate; as a result, Kenichi has a very strong sense of defense, being able to effectively attack and defend at the same time using the techniques he learned from Sakaki.
My body was following the stances and moves that I was playing on my head while I was performing a visual scene in my head. The scene changed from Sasaki teaching Kenichi to Akisame teaching Jujutsu various throwing techniques.

Just like that, he continued with his strict daily training regimen, which included learning various types of martial arts and tempering his bodily speed and strength. He even shattered a boulder into a hundred small pieces and hurled it into the sky. He was attempting to avoid them all while standing on a thin branch of wood without allowing them to touch his clothes.
This is how he comes up with a way to train both his reflexes and his balance at the same time. It was difficult at first, but he was able to persevere thanks to his monstrous talent. The rate at which he was improving was both astounding and frightening. despite the fact that it was due to his efforts. Because the outcome is determined by how much effort you put into it. Without the necessary amount of work, talent is meaningless. Talent has only given him a head start and increased his upper limit.
He also devises a strategy to maximize the effectiveness of his time. During his training break, he will use Akisame's muscle enhancement training to achieve a body with no absolutely useless muscles. He also employs his extensive and up-to-date medical knowledge to devise a suitable method of strengthening his internal organs and bodily functions.

I clenched my fist, feeling as if I could finally punch a hole through the sky... kidding aside I finally finished my "Plan A" Strengthening plan, Next is the B plan but let me tell you my gains in the last few months first. Every second of training was tracked in order to maximize efficiency. Now, my body is completely devoid of useless muscles. I also attained the fabled 100 percent body control that only masters who have dedicated their lives to their craft can achieve.
My organs have now enhanced to inhuman levels, and I can now fight an enemy of the same level in a battle of attrition for seven days and seven nights, like Kaido from One Piece or Captain America from Marvel, without getting tired.
