YM778.TV Chapter 164 Inner Strenght
After the tiresome practice, Viktor returned to the designated room
Unlike before, this time he received a private room, while the three girls received another private room.
Viktor laid his head on the bed, sighing in contentment as he enjoyed the soft pillows. He realized that on any normal day before the apocalypse happened, he would never sleep alone at night.
But for today, he decided to pay it no mind. He was tired from training, and he was definitely in no mood for any form of intercourse.
Wait…
A thought sprung up in his mind.
Was the one crazy mission that told him to avoid sex to prepare him for this? to make him less lustful, and focus on his training instead.
He shook his head and got rid of the errant thoughts. Some kind of PTSD must have affected his mind and made him lose his desire.
The next morning after breakfast and one hour of waiting in the parliament house, once again Viktor was being stood up by his father.
Viktor decided to take a bit of precaution. He called for his old butler and said to never call him again unless his father was ready.
After breakfast, he headed back into the training room, but this time he brought everyone in tow.
The two bodyguards would spend the majority of their time sitting in the corner, meditating and consuming more spirit stones. Meanwhile, Eva and Liza would just sit and watch at the edge of the training room as Viktor sparred with the other three.
Pa! pa! pa! pa!
As his power was currently sealed by the pendant, Viktor has similar strength, agility, and battle power as the two boys. Hence, they became good enough opponents for him.
Kosta has pretty good agility and Barry has better strength, as long as Jessie didnt give him any surprised attack, Viktor would be able to match them three.
The spar continued for around half a day before Viktor excused himself. He asked to go without anyone this time.
It was not too difficult to find the sauna room, as most soldiers would use the room to relax after training or after a particularly difficult battle. Luckily, he managed to find one that is empty.
Viktor sat in a lotus position right in the middle of the expansive whirlpool. He closed his eyes and concentrated on learning the third part of his [36 Fists of the North Star manual], the cultivation of inner strength.
This part was the easiest by comparison, but he needed a lot more concentration. Hence, he decided to train by himself.
There are also 8 stages of the breathing technique that would increase his inner strength. Without further ado, Viktor quickly started to try the first stage. Basically, it was about channeling his spirit energy into certain nerve points on his body, mostly to his arms and shoulders to increase the power and speed of his strikes. An hour of concentration later, Viktor felt as if something was open within him.
Energy poured into his body and started to revitalize him, making him much stronger and faster than before,
[You have learned the first stage of the North Star inner strength]
[You have received 2 points of battle power.]
When he saw the message, his lips curled into a small smile. 2 points of battle power would mean 6 points of stats, and if that was only the first stage, how many battle points would he receive after he mastered all 8 stages?
The next day, Viktor ended up staying in the sauna longer than he intended. He only emerged in the late evening after he managed to master the second stage.
[You have learned 2 stages of the Nort Star inner strength]
[You have received 2 points of battle power.]
Of course, the quick improvement excited him more and more. He was so excited that he decided to start training his inner strength in his room.
In the morning, the old butler knocked on his door, and Viktor only half-open it and talk to the old butler.
"What is it Angus? is my father ready?
"No actually, I was wondering… are you not training today, young master?"
"No, of course not… I am too tired today, I would like to sleep. Don\'t bother me!"
"I understand, young master."
Right as the old butler turned around to leave, he stopped the old man and said.
"Actually, there is something you can do. Can you spare a few spirit stones for my two bodyguards? It\'s a shame that I don\'t even have one Sky Realm bodyguard to protect me."
"Certainly, young master."
"Thank you."
It would be best to keep his pretense as a lazy young master, hence when the old man leaves, Viktor once again sat cross-legged on the floor and returned to his inner strength training. He managed to learn the third stage by the third day and the fourth stage by the fourth.
[You have mastered the second stage]
[You have received 2 points of battle power.]
[You have received 2 points of battle power.]
[Viktor Romanov]
[Male - 23 years]
[Strength - 73 (37)]
[Agility - 112 (56)]
[Endurance - 73 (37)]
[Battle Power - 86 (43)]
[Spirit force - 100 (50)]
[Sky Realm Level 1 - Early Stage]
[Core of Anvil Stage 5 - 0,1%]
With his current strength along with his hidden skill, Viktor has no reason to be afraid even if he has to fight a saint-level fighter.
But right now it would be better for him to keep his power hidden. On the other hand, though, the high numbers of his other stats only made his [Core of Anvil] percentage look rather pitiful in comparison. He should find another way to increase it as soon as possible.
Maybe asking about the Romanov gold reserves to be sent to him, will be fantastic
On the morning of the fifth day, he woke up and got ready to train as usual. However, a knock came from the door, and the familiar voice of the butler spoke from outside.
"Young Master, your father is ready to see you."
