STATUS: Healthy
He had grown stronger, well only his body had experienced rapid growth. His endurance and strength experienced the biggest growth. His potential in vitality had been transformed into actual physical capability. He is about to reach the limit of physical stats for vitality core stage refinement. Only his vitality didn\'t adhere to the limits and had long since broken it. It even increased which is mostly due to the increase in his core conversation rate.
The next step of his training will not cause much change in terms of his stats but his finesse will undergo a metamorphosis for the better.
He arrived before a door that read Physical Techniques Room 201. Apparently, every trainee gets their own training room for the second stage of training. The golem was waiting for him by the front of the door. She was also holding a tray. On the tray is what he could recognize as memory crystals.
He was in a good mood so he decided to great the golem. "How are you, Wendy?"
"Can\'t complain." That monotonous voice of the golem sounded out.
Soverick shook his head. \'What am I doing asking how she is feeling? Of course, she can\'t complain. If she could complain we will have some problems.\'
"Welcome Soverick, and congratulations on completing the preparatory stage in record time." The Golem said.
"Thank you. So what\'s next?" Soverick asked.
"What is next on the agenda is the bonding of a room to your wrist logger. Followed by the absorption of knowledge required for the next level. The room will be used only by you for the period of time you will spend during this stage."
Soverick nodded. He had shared the rooms for the physical and spiritual preparatory stage with others. There wasn\'t much disturbance though, at least he didn\'t suffer any. He ignored everyone else and focused on his training. He was not there to socialize but to train so he did just that. This time he will be alone. There had to be reasons for that, but he was in no rush to find out. He pressed the face of his wrist logger onto the imprint outlet on the door. The color of the door changed from red to blue.
"Good, it has been linked to you. It will remain blue as long as you have permission to use the room. It is currently locked, to unlock it you will need to verify your presence at the door by using your divine sense." The golem informed him.
He brushed his divine sense against the door. The door changed color from blue to green signifying access.
Wendy continued. "There are five regimens to complete for the physical aspect of this stage of training. The footwork, eye and body coordination, dodging and perception, blocking and parrying, and finally, the obstacle course. It is recommended to follow the schedule in that order but you can choose to engage in them however you want. You have access to all the training regimens but you must complete them before you can move on to the final stage. What is your choice?"
Soverick didn\'t think much about it, he would just follow the schedule since a proper order had been created for him.
He shrugged and said, "Let\'s go with the schedule then."
"Good choice. Since you will follow the recommended order, you must select the option for footwork in your wrist logger. Then after that, you have to accept the knowledge infusion about footwork. It is the first memory crystal from the right."
He did just that and assimilated the information. The first stage of training required him to reach physical fitness while this stage is meant to understand his body to such an extent that he becomes capable of making his body efficient at what it does. So more information was provided on how to move right, how to walk better, how to balance his weight on his feet, how to run faster with the same amount of physical fitness, and how to contract and relax muscles to amplify the strength of the body and many more. He will have to use the knowledge acquired to achieve feats beyond what his body can do normally. When he achieves these feats, the difficulty will be increased to ensure he becomes more proficient in them. Practice makes perfect.
"I\'ll wait here for you. When you are done with footwork we will move on to eyes and body coordination. Good luck, soverick."
Soverick pushed the door open and entered to find a room with various sections. The room has been prepared for the footwork training since he selected that option on his wrist logger. He knew what to do from the information he got from the memory crystal, so he walked to the section for the Footprint challenge. The aim of this challenge is to learn how to walk without making a footprint. He will have to walk bare feet on a surface which will offer only slight resistance. The force he applies on the surface must be equal to this resistance, only then will he be able to walk without leaving behind a footprint.
The principle behind walking without leaving footprints is to reduce the pressure of his feet on the ground. To reduce the pressure, one must spread the force created when walking, evenly across the sole of the feet and must disperse it evenly across the surface of the ground.
He tried applying the techniques he learned from the memory crystal, but he failed on his first try. He adjusted his breathing, took active control of how the muscles of his legs contracted, and relaxed to move. He took control of his tendons to properly manipulate his toes. The difficulty of this challenge lay in how to gain active control of the body. When we move we simply envision the thought, we don\'t actually control our muscles with ourselves to do the movement. All the contraction of the muscles of the body is done passively through muscle memory. The perspective of this technique is that footwork that is based on muscle memory is wrong.
The body learns how to perform actions based on the quickest, shortest, and most efficient method to achieve it, but that doesn\'t mean it is the best method.
The movement of the body is carried out by the subconscious, but now, it has to be shifted to the conscious. Only then can the limit placed on the muscles by the subconscious be removed, then the body will be able to achieve feats beyond its limit.
So Soverick had to take active control of the movement of his muscles. Then he has to relearn how to walk "right". This might have been difficult for others to achieve but not for Soverick. His mind is much stronger and much more agile than his body. A Transcendent has perfect control over their mind and bodies much less an Origin god. He might have lost the fine control he had gained from transcendence but he can still overwhelm his body with his mind. He just had to impose his will on his body and it was easy. He had always been able to influence this body but not in such a direct manner so he found the process familiar but jerky.
The control he gained from overwhelming his body cannot be compared to that of a transcendent but the learning capabilities of his mind are beyond what a Transcendent can achieve. His body is still weak though, so he doesn\'t want to make it do somethings that will damage it. The limits are there to protect the body from itself after all. Transcendents have succeeded in removing this limit entirely.
Instead, he circumvented the limits by trying to create more efficient pathways. He tried many options over and over again. Now that he had active control, he had to relearn how to walk right. He would need to determine the proper firing sequences of neurons.
His progress was slow because of the vast combination available. There was a lot of try and error to achieve spreading the force evenly throughout the sole of his feet. It took him a month of constant effort to finally get the hang of it. He didn\'t give up once. He would stumble and pick himself up, then continue practicing.
