Koji Fights The World - Chapter 39 Unexpected Gains
Despite receiving the healing energy from Sifu Huang, Koji’s body felt heavy. And since he already spent time cultivating, Koji decided to sleep for the rest of tonight. He was mindful of the need for adequate rest, or else Koji will stress his body to the point of receiving a new injury.
The next few days were a repeat of the first day’s schedule–saber practice in the morning and afternoon followed by body refinement training in the evening. Koji spent one session training in three times normal gravity. And then he handled 4g without trouble.
But once Sifu Huang upped the difficulty to 5g, Koji’s body faltered, and he couldn’t withstand the blows from his instructor. When Koji dropped to the ground, his teacher laughed and helped his pupil get back up. Every attack under the effect of 5g resulted in Koji’s butt on the ground.
Sifu Huang saw the anger and frustration on Koji’s face and said, “Don’t feel too discouraged. While your current body isn’t strong enough to absorb my hits in 5g, you will soon reach another breakthrough under my tutelage. Now start cultivating!”
“Yes, Teacher!” the pupil bowed from his waist. He sat on the ground and started circulating his Yang Qi. Soon, Sifu Huang’s regenerative wood energy entered the young man’s body and began to heal Koji’s bruises and other minor injuries.
When the instructor assessed that Koji had recovered sufficiently, Sifu Huang ordered Koji to take the horse stance and resume his body temperament training again.
The young man stubbornly resisted the blows from the wooden stick with his body while under 5g. He managed to resist 10% of the attacks. The next night, Koji withstood 20%. And the following night, his rate elevated to 35%. By the seventh day of training with Sifu Huang, Koji reached the breakthrough he sought desperately–Tier 8!
Sifu Huang noticed the sudden change in his pupil’s physique; Koji’s skin felt smooth like marble, but the flesh and bones underneath hardened into iron. “Congratulations, Koji!” the instructor beamed with delight at his pupil’s sudden but expected advancement.
Koji offered a respectful palm-over-fist bow. “My improvement was due to your tutelage, Master,” he replied sincerely.
The middle-aged man laughed. “Well said, young man,” Sifu Huang praised while patting Koji’s shoulder. “Let’s end today’s training session early. Soak up in the bathhouse and then return to your room,” he ordered.
“Yes, Sifu!” Koji replied with a bow. He retrieved his clothing and sword and quickly departed from the private courtyard.
Once the young man left, the teacher’s fatherly smile turned into a frown. “I wonder what the king will do next,” Sifu Huang said and pitied his student.
Koji strolled along the hallway until he reached the bathhouse.
Some servants noticed his approach, and they soon gathered at the entrance to greet him. “Welcome, Prince Consort!” they said and bowed in unison. They opened the door, and Koji entered without comment.
An attractive servant accosted him and said, “This lowly one is named Fengbai. Please follow me, milord.”
Koji saw that the servant was in her early twenties with light, smooth skin. Her face was on par with Zelea in terms of beauty, but still lesser than Daethix. The attendant was also a few inches taller than Koji’s five-foot-ten. The servant wore a white uniform which clung to her feminine figure. Koji stared at her wide hips, large buttocks, and long, silky smooth legs.
Unknown to him, Fengbai was among the “Nine Flowers of Nephosian Palace,” as ranked by the palace guards, for her exquisite beauty. Of course, Princess Daethix and Princess Zelea held the top two spots.
The attendant suddenly turned around and began to help Koji strip. Fengbai folded his clothing neatly and placed them on a table, and then she disrobed.
While Koji stood, the woman lathered her hands with soap and rubbed it all over his body. When he felt her palms on his little peacock, he immediately hardened.
The servant knelt and stroked him while staring straight into his eyes. A bewitching smile crossed her face as she continued to stroke his soaring rod until he released his hot fluid all over her face. The beautiful woman stuck out her tongue and licked his semen without breaking eye contact. She then swallowed everything in one big gulp.
Seeing that Koji didn’t reject her advance, Fengbai stood up and pressed her body against his. She started rubbing her hard nipples against his chest, making him shudder involuntarily.
Koji suddenly put his hands on her delicate shoulders. “Enough,” he commanded.
The servant’s eyes turned from surprise to disappointment. “Yes, Prince Consort,” she answered meekly and bowed. She quickly washed the soap off Koji with a sponge and a bucket of warm water. Then she wrapped a towel around his waist. Her eyes lingered on the contours of Koji’s ass as layered on with the white cloth, and sighed wistfully at what could have been. Fengbai called in several favors to become Koji’s attendant at the bathhouse today; she felt frustrated at her inability to take advantage and seduce him.
Koji’s heart pounded furiously inside his chest. He knew that if he continued fooling around with that attendant, his wife would be upset. Koji wasn’t as naive as he looked; he understood what Fengbai tried to do. Without his Indominable Spirit, Koji would have fallen into her trap, impregnate the scheming woman, and be forced to take her as a concubine.
Koji decided to bring up the issue of concubines after his marriage to Daethix. He slowly stepped into the pool, and he walked across the water until he reached the wall at the end. He sat cross-legged and enjoyed the soothing water as his body healed from another brutal body temperament session with Sifu Huang.
The next morning, Koji arose at sunrise and visited the private courtyard for his early morning practice. To his surprise, King Apraphus and Prince Heretrios were already waiting for his arrival. The young man quickly approached and said, “Good morning, father-in-law and brother-in-law!” Koji bowed respectfully to both men.
“A fine morning to you, son-in-law!” the king replied in his typical loud voice.
“Morning,” the prince nodded.
“May I ask why you are here?” Koji inquired politely.
“Sifu Huang reported that your body can now withstand 5g! Considering that you’ve trained under him for less than a week, your progress is astonishing!” King Aphraphus praised with delight.
Heretrios’ eyebrows rose at the news. “You are truly talented, brother!” the prince said in admiration for Koji.
“I only advanced so quickly due to the special training method,” Koji replied and bowed to the king from the waist.
“Special training method?” Heretrios asked while looking at the king.
His father smiled faintly. “The training is arduous. But if you truly desire to use this method, I can instruct Sifu Huang to train you,” King Aphraphus proposed.
His son immediately shook his head. “That’s quite alright,” Heretrios replied. “I’ve been busy training the recruits,” he added.
The king laughed jovially. He knew that his son had a lower tolerance for pain compared to Koji. Thus, Aphraphus allowed the matter to drop and spare Heretrios needless pain. Besides, his son’s talent was in commanding the kingdom’s army. If Heretrios ends up fighting the enemies personally, then that means his men are near defeat.
King Aphraphus turned his attention back to Koji. “Show us your sword dance,” he ordered.
“At once, Sire!” the young man answered. He pulled his saber from its case and started making a figure-8 with his right hand, and the performer switched to his left side. Koji seamlessly twirled the blade like a baton while he danced to an imaginary soundtrack.
The two watchers were stunned by Koji’s smooth performance. Neither warrior could control his saber to the extent which Koji had shown!
Clap-clap! “Stop!” the king commanded.
Koji immediately sheathed his weapon and bowed.
“Read your menu report for saber proficiency,” Aphraphus ordered.
The son-in-law called up his menu and saw the following: “Saber Proficiency Tier 5 (3/10)”. Koji read the line aloud.
Prince Heretrios whistled. “That’s impressive!” he remarked. He couldn’t believe how quickly Koji advanced; the prince had taught Koji the eight angles of saber attacks less than a week ago.
King Aphraphus unfastened the sword case from his belt. “Koji, from your sword dance performance, I can tell that you are a dual sword wielder. Since my son gifted you a saber already, here’s another one from me.”
“Thank you, father!” Koji accepted the weapon in both hands and bowed from his waist.
Prince Heretrios fished out a hook from his pocket. “Use this to attach the other sword case to your belt,” he said and gave the item to Koji.
“Thank you, brother!” Koji accepted with a smile.
“Since we are both here, why don’t you spar against both of us together?” the king suggested with a big grin.
The young man’s heart sank at the proposal, but Koji quickly recovered. “Please guide me,” he answered with another bow.
“Fight with your weapons sheathed,” Heretrios added. He held his weapon case in both hands while his father opted to spar with his bare hands.
Without warning, the two men attacked!
