Chapter 3: Starting the Training

Dining Room.

"Ah~ How wonderful. This is the first time I've eaten this delicious dish." Shirou said as he sat back lazily on the dining table seat. In front of Shirou was some dirty cutlery that Shirou used before.

"Anyway, I better start planning the training I'm going to do." Shirou immediately sat back in a perfectly upright position while closing his eyes.

Shirou's nature of always closing his eyes to think about something has been innate to him since he was little. Whenever Shirou wanted to plan something ahead, he needed total focus so that he could plan something good.

" After this, I will start training. Within 2 months from now, I need to awaken a martial soul. With my martial soul about to awaken, the highest probability I will awaken soul force is 10 or maybe more. For now, I don't need to think about that and focus more on improving my physical fitness in order to absorb soul rings that exceed the limits that all the people of the Douluo continent know about."

"Another benefit that I get by increasing my physical fitness is that I can condense my soul strength to become more dense and solid. This is an advantage for me, so my soul force will be higher than at the same level as a Soul Master. Moreover, by condensing soul force, at least by the time I advance to Soul Emperor or Saint Soul level, I can try condensing soul cores the first time and gain a fast regeneration ability like that of an average Title Douluo."

"Supporting this plan, I can use the 10,000-year Etile Edelweiss Flower to absorb before starting the practice. By absorbing the 10,000-year Etile Edelweiss Flower, my physical strength would increase very quickly and might be able to directly compete with the physique of a Great Soul Master level Soul Master. Apart from the absorption of the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower. I can add the absorption of the 10,000-year-old Phosphorous Snake Viper Flower to boost my immune system as well as my blood from various poisons."

"Even with me having strong strength and strong body fitness. I still have threats against Soul Masters who have poison bases like Tang San, Dugu Bo, and one of the elders from Wuhun Hall. As for the absorption of his other immortal plants, I'd better absorb it later after awakening the martial soul. I can absorb a 10,000-year-old Fire Lotus Flower and a 10,000-year-old Lightning Lotus Flower to increase the power of my martial soul."

"Aside from training, I also need to prepare a medicinal bath for recovery use after training. Because it would be very bad if I practiced too hard but instead of getting the best results but getting dark scars from the training I did. Especially now that I still haven't awakened the martial soul. For now, the target was to reach the physical fitness level of a Soul Sect or Soul Elder level. So that at the time of absorbing the first soul ring, I can obtain the first soul ring that is thousands of years old or maybe tens of thousands of years old."

Shirou, who had finished planning the training he was going to do, slowly opened his eyes again and looked in front of him, "But before starting the training, let's clean the tableware and cooking utensils that I use first." Shirou immediately got up from his seat and collected every utensil. eat dirty while taking it to the kitchen to be cleaned along with the previously used cooking utensils.

It didn't take long for Shirou to finish cleaning all the dirty cutlery and cooking utensils. Shirou went straight to his room and took out the gym clothes in the closet that was stored earlier. The sportswear is blue with a mix of white and white shoes. Shirou immediately took off his clothes and put on his sports clothes and shoes.

After finishing, Shirou immediately went to the bathroom and collected water in the bath up while adding various medicinal plants that have the function of restoring stamina, restoring muscle fatigue, maintaining skin, maintaining the body, as well as various other medicinal plants that have a good function of protecting Shirou's body.

The smell of medicine enveloped the entire bathroom, Shirou who saw the bathtub was full immediately turned off the water and walked out of the bathroom towards the practice room.

******

Exercise room.

The practice room has a size of 75 square meters with a round shape. The floor of the practice room was made of black iron and the walls were made of mithril metal which made this room very closed and it was impossible for sounds from outside to enter, conversely sound from inside could not come out. In addition, this exercise room has a control panel facility that can regulate room temperature, gravity training, and various other things.

*Krick*

The door to the practice room is open, we can see Shirou walking inside while locking the door to the practice room. The moment Shirou entered, he felt the temperature of the room was hot because the room was so closed. Shirou immediately walked towards the control panel and began to make arrangements for the room for himself to be comfortable to use during the training process.

"Finally~" Slowly the temperature of the previously hot training room quickly stabilized back to normal and cool temperature.

Shirou immediately walked towards the center of the room and sat in a meditative position while taking a deep breath, "Let's start" Shirou muttered under his breath and took out a 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower from his storage room.

The moment the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower came out of the storage room and appeared in Shirou's hand, the scent of the flower instantly covered the entire training room.

"I am grateful because this training room is a closed room. Otherwise, by the time I take out the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower and the scent reaches the outside world, there is a chance that I will become the target of the beasts that live around this location." Shirou sighed and said, "Let's get started"

Shirou who had acquired immortal plant knowledge, knew how to absorb the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower. Shirou immediately absorbed the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower starting from absorbing the powder surrounding the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower. After the absorption of the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower powder was completed, Shirou immediately ate the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower flower from the crown to the stem without leaving it.

Shirou immediately sat down and began to prepare himself. At the time when the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower was absorbed, suddenly from within Shirou's body a huge amount of energy began to instantly increase Shirou's physical strength. Shirou who felt this physical increase had to endure the feeling of pain. However, Shirou's face showed a determination to be strong and endure the pain.

It took four hours for Shirou to complete the absorption of the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower. Shirou who had finished absorbing the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower slowly opened his eyes again. Shirou first checked his current body condition.

"Amazing~ The upgrade I got was exactly as predicted. I now have the physical fitness of a Great Soul Master. Moreover, there is still a lot of energy left in the absorption of the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower in the body. I just need to stimulate myself by doing exercises so that this energy can be fully absorbed. Hee~ The chance to have the physical fitness of a Soul Elder in two months can't be a dream"

Shirou was overjoyed after he checked his body. After finishing examining his body, Shirou took a breath and let it out again to reorganize his emotions, "Let's continue".

Shirou, who had calmed down, immediately adjusted his position properly. Shirou took out the 10,000-year-old Phosphorous Snake Viper Flower according to the plan to absorb in order to obtain a very strong immune system to fight various poisons. Just like the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower, the moment the 10,000-year-old Phosphor Snake Viper Flower came out, the scent of the flower instantly covered the entire training room.

Shirou didn't want to wait any longer, he immediately absorbed the 10,000-year-old Phosphor Snake Viper Flower. The moment the 10,000-year-old Phosphor Snake Viper Flower was absorbed, Shirou felt energy equal to that of the 10,000-year-old Edelweiss Etile Flower suddenly appear within him. However, unlike the previous energy, the energy from the 10,000-year-old Phosphor Snake Viper Flower began to increase the poison resistance of his blood and immune system.

Shirou felt his body very hot like he felt his body being submerged in a hot temperature of 55 degrees Celsius. However, determined to become as strong as his previous absorption, Shirou suppressed the feeling and continued the process of absorbing the 10,000-year-old Phosphor Snake Viper Flower until it was finished.

It took four hours for Shirou to fully absorb the energy of the 10,000-year-old Phosphor Snake Viper Flower and boost his blood immunity and immune system to withstand all the poisons. Shirou slowly opened his eyes again and slightly checked his body changes. The changes in Shirou's own body on the outside didn't change too much after absorbing the 10,000-year-old Phosphor Snake Viper Flower.

Shirou who had finished absorbing the two immortal plants immediately rose from his position while raising his hands up, "Ahh~" Shirou did a simple stretch while glancing at the control panel seeing the time it was 16.00 am.

" 4 pm? Labor takes 8 hours to complete the absorption process of 2 perennial plants. Huu~ Let's move on to practice." Shirou immediately walked towards the control panel and started to adjust the gravity training to his liking.

After setting up, Shirou immediately activated gravity training starting from 1 time of gravity pressure. This gravity exercise itself measures using body weight. Shirou's body now weighs 20 kilograms, with one-time training of gravity pressure, Shirou must withstand a load of 20 kilograms.

The moment the gravity training began, Shirou immediately felt the pressure of 20 kilograms hit his entire body. However, Shirou who had gained the physical fitness increase of a Great Soul Master felt this 20-kilogram pressure was still very light and had not yet reached its limit.

"Amazing~ I didn't expect that the absorption of this immortal plant could increase physical fitness to this degree. It's true that I predicted beforehand, but getting the results myself was completely different when it came to estimating. In that case, let's upgrade. I wonder what the physical fitness limit of a Great Soul Master who doesn't use soul force is."

Shirou increased the pressure again to 2 times the gravitational pressure. The weight that hit Shirou's body became 40 kilograms. However, Shirou was still standing in an upright position only his head was slightly bent due to the pressure. Shirou increased the gravitational pressure once more by 3 times the gravitational pressure. The weight that hit Shirou's body became heavier by 60 kilograms.

Shirou's body was previously only slightly bent at the pressure of 40 kilograms, at the moment it entered the pressure of 60 kilograms, Shirou's body bent. Shirou took a deep breath, " It's better if I start my first practice at pressure 3 this time. It's a fitting position, other than that. I also need to adapt to the power of this new body."

Shirou started walking a little away from the control panel and started doing some simple stretches. After finishing stretching, Shirou started running around the practice room. With the help of gravitational pressure, Shirou himself didn't need muscle training and all. Because with this gravity training, Shirou's entire body is also being trained in muscle strength. Shirou only needed to run or do activities under the pressure of gravity to increase his physical strength.

Three hours had passed since Shirou started his training. We can see Shirou is leaning against the wall near the control panel and his whole body is already wet from sweat, the workout clothes Shirou is wearing are already alkaline and his blue hair already looks very messy. At the same time, Shirou's breath was heavy.

"Haha! Haha! Haha!, Looks like this is my limit now. Haha! Haha! Haha!, Let's finish this practice." Shirou dragged his body towards the control panel.

Arriving at the control panel, Shirou immediately turned off his gravity training settings along with the room settings. After Shirou turned off the gravity training setting, Shirou's body immediately felt very light, the weight he had previously lifted just disappeared.

Shirou started to slowly drag his body out of the practice room with still very heavy breaths. Arriving outside the practice room, Shirou rushed to his room to be able to get the medicinal bath he prepared in the bathroom.
