The Human God - 5 Bitter Training

“Mhhhh…. where am I?” Maximus woke up confused. He looked around ans saw that he was on the bed inside the tree house. “How long did I sleep?”

“Just a day” Maximus looked around and saw old man Bluemoon seated on the right side of his bed.

“Master!”.

“Well then now that you’ve awakened the first thing you should do is eat something and the go and start meditating and let master see what grade is your cultivation method”

“Grade? Isn’t it all the same for all after all is something that the universe has gives?” asked Maximus confused.

“Ai ai boy, of course not, if it was like that then “even a chicken could become a master”. There are three kinds of cultivation techniques Heaven rank, Earth rank, and Mortal rank. And each one of them is further divided into low grade, middle grade, and high grade” then old man Bluemoon let Maximus digest the information. After some time.

“But Master if it’s like that isn’tit to unfair, I mean what is the point to work hard if someone will get a higher grade cultivation method than you from start?”

“Well you can just use another cultivation method.” said the old man.

“What!!! We can train using others…..”

“Why should be able to. Those powerful clans and sect’s can stand until today because of the long legacy. Well enough chit chat, after you eat come to the river bank” then old man Bluemoon stood up and left.

After eating Maximus put some clothes on and went to the river bank.

“Sit cross-legged there and let Master see your cultivation method”

Maximus did as he was told. He stood there for some time and suddenly the energy all around him started to vibrate. A small cyclone of pure energy formed with Maximus as his center.

Old man Bluemoon eyes were filled with shock.

“Haven stage middle grade, no Heaven stage high grade. Hahaha what a good seedling.”

After some time Maximus felt like his body was about to explode and then there was a BANG.

He felt like some kind of shackles were broken, and energy started rushing in his body again.

“Truly a luck bastard, already a 2nd level spirit master.” Then the old man interrupted Maximus.

“You’re a lucky boy, youwon’t have to worry about higher level cultivation technique, you already have a Heaven ranking one. From today onward, you will spend four hours a day cultivating and other four hours training in martial arts from basic fist techniques, leg techniques, etc. After that will be practical combat, hand to hand, swords, spears, bows, sabers, staffs…..” then the old man named a bunch more of weapons. Maximus was little startled, it was a lot to take in. First he finds out that he has the highest cultivation method possible. Second he hasstart training the basic every day. Then right after he has to fight.

“But Master if we do that you will work me to death” said Maximus.

“I will just supervise your training and adjust it. Argenti stop hiding.” said old man Bluemoon.

Then Maximus saw Argenti appear out of thin air. He turned to him and bowed.

“I thank Martial Uncle Argenti for his future guidance”

“Hahaha, martial uncle Argenti” laughed the old man.

“Hump, as if I would waste my time with a shrimp like you. Amica come here”

Then the figure of a beautiful elf girl came into view, she was wearing a silver armor, light and beautiful, underneath was red battle dress, that went very well with her armor. She had slender, long legs, beautiful curves and was endowed gifted on the chest area. She had long and beautiful ears, silver-red eyes, she had alluring lips, her light smile made people feel a certain type of alluring danger, her perfect nose only completed her godly looks.

Maximus was momentarily speechless. This kind of beauty was something that went against heaven.

“Lord Argenti, I am here to serve.” said Amica.

“Genetrix already informed you of the situation. Do what Bluemoon tells you.”

“Yes Lord!”

“Listen up little girl, from today onward you are to train with this little fellow. He has to cultivate for four hours then train the basics. After you will spare with him, and don’t hold back, just make sure he can continue to train the next day, feed him fasting pills to not with time on food. Once a month he will go to the silver lake to meditate for two hours. Did you understand?” said old man Bluemoon.

“Yes Lord”

“Go you can start with the basics now he already finished his cultivation session”

Maximus went numb when he heard this “Hey hey… are you kidding me. I am not some old monster like you, I can’t even teleport like you guys. Even spending time with this beauty wasn’t worth, if I have to train like this.This training is gonna kill me” he thought to himself.

As if reading Maximus mind the old man smiled wickedly. “Amica if Maximus never complain about the training and finish all the course every day, then you are to listen to one of his requests as it was told by me or Argenti. No matter what he asks you to do, you are to make it happen”

Amica eyes just trembled for a brief half of a second, it was more like blinked. “Yes Lord”

Maximus shook a little. “God is this really happening. This old man is a genius”

The glow coming from Maximus was extremely strange, it gave people a strange felling, his eyes didn’t have the innocent of a child, they were more like that of a middle-aged man, it was like a man who was in the desert for more than seven years full of thirst, and then he saw not a cup of water or a bucket but and entire river of clear refreshing water”

“Mankind is so vulgar” mumbled Argenti.

“It’s what make life interesting you dumb lizard. Things like you won’t understand.” said old man Bluemoon.

“The place near the tree house should be enough for to your training.” said old man Bluemoon.

Maximus and Amica walked in silence. When they got to the tree house Maximus say all kind of weapons and equipment.

“First of all, my name is Amica, the Chief instructor of Her Majesty Queen Genetrix, Mother of all Elves, personal bodyguards”

“What?????” Maximus was genuinely surprised, he knew that elves existed, but what surprised him was that this was someone of such a high status “What kind of background does that old man has to command someone like her.” After all he knew that the kingdom of elves was on the same level as the hegemony of the Phoenix province, the Phoenix clan. “Wait a minute…”

“Big sister my ask where is the Dacian Province?” asked Maximus

Amica made a strange expression “Well the Dacian Province is about 25 or 26….”

“Kilometers (1 mile = 1.6 KM) away, thanks goodness” said Maximus relived.

Maximus froze “How is that possible, this can’t be I should have died” he thought

“Don’t interrupt when I speak. Its 25 or 26 thousands kilometers away. Second

off all kid for you it’s instructor Amica, I am already 1800 years old.”

This time Maximus jaw almost hit the ground.

“Enough chitchat. First put the 50 kg wights on your waist, feet’s and hands, and do 10 thousand punches, then 10 thousand kicks. When you finish eat this pill, and then we will start the sparring.”

“Instructor isn’t it better to just train with my cultivation and get to a higher level of cultivation. After all my body will get stronger?” asked Maximus confused.

Amica looked at him and said “Listen carefully boy, you may have higher cultivation than your opponent but if your reflexes, your reaction etc… is slower than I guarantee that even if you are a peak Saint and your opponent just set foot on the Saint level, you will die 9 out of 10. You should always do this to know your body perfectly, to know where is his limit and how much stress it can take. Now don’t waste anymore time”

Maximus did as he was told he put the wights on and started punching.

“Your posture is wrong”

He tried again.

“Your fist is moving wrong”

After a couple of tries he finally started to get it right.

“9998,9999,10 000” Maximus hands dropped to the ground as if they were the same wight as black holes (AN: black holes are the heaviest thing in the universe) “F*ck, this is insane. I will be dead before tomorrow” though Maximus to himself.

“Good now the kicks”

Then the same thing repeated itself again, Maximus doing it and Amica correcting him.

“Hooo… not bad for a little kid” said Amica, but inside she was shocked “How can he possibly endure this kind of training with only that little level of cultivation” Amica took a pill and gave it to Maximus.

“Eat this, rest for half an hour. Then we start fighting lessons.”

Maximus took the pill and put it in his mouth, he felt that the hunger in his body was gone and the cells in his body were absorbing the nutrients like crazy.

“Time is up, come”

Maximus stood up and found out that his body didn’t hurt too much, just itching a little.

“First we will start hand-to-hand combat. Now attack” said Amica.

“Haaa…” Maximus shouted and trews a punch at Amica, but she easily avoided it, then using just one hand, she starts beating Maximus, who did his best to evade. “Don’t always run boy, find an opening.”

After they were done Maximus stood on the ground gasping for air, his hole body was full of bruises.

“You have three hours to sleep. Then we start from the beginning”

Day after day, month after moth, year after year. Maximus would cultivate, train his body, and then fight with Amica. The training got only harder and harder the fight started to get more intense and intense, if it was anyother human they might have gone insane with this kind of training. This way Maximus spent nine full years. On this day Maximus was cultivating as usual when suddenly the Flame Blood locked trembled and the flame inside got smaller. Maximus opened his eyes, his eyes seemed to contain a world of their own. He looked at the locket then in the direction of the river bank and said “I have to go Master.”

“Have a safe trip, and remember if you need me you can always come here” said old man Bluemoon.

They were both speaking without moving their lips at a distance of about 2 km.
