Training - 1

The previous day had concluded with only the race-changing procedure completed. As the next day dawned, Rizevim sat on his bed, his legs crossed and his hands resting on his thighs.

Rizevim divided his time into two parts: training with Scathach from morning to evening, and meditation and cultivation for the rest of the time.

He meditated to sense the Aryan Energy in his bloodline, which he easily detected due to his massive potential. After sensing the energy, Rizevim began collecting energy from outside. It didn't matter which type of energy entered his body; it would automatically transform into Aryan Energy. However, he didn't do that immediately. Instead, he focused on understanding Aryan Energy and how to convert other types of energy into it.

It came easy to him since he had created Aryan Energy himself. Instead of directly absorbing energy from the outside, he fed it to his body to enhance its energy-generating capacity. This way, in case of needing energy, he wouldn't have to rely solely on an external source.

He avoided using his absorption skill as it could potentially disrupt his foundation in the early stages of cultivation. After cultivating until morning, Rizevim ended his practice, noting the slight increase in his energy reserves.

Rizevim, as a progenitor, possessed full control over his body and biology, rendering him immune to many forms of poisoning. He could effortlessly expel toxins from his body and manipulate his body density at will, allowing him to fly in the air by reducing his density or strengthen his body by increasing it. Additionally, he had the ability to partially shapeshift, although mastery of these abilities required reaching the peak of Tier 13.

Rizevim had yet to attempt to unlock his supernatural eyes, choosing instead to focus on mastering the abilities he already possessed. He suppressed this aspect of his power, opting to prioritize a thorough understanding and control of his current capabilities before venturing into new territories.

After concluding his cultivation session, Rizevim went in search of Scathach to begin his training. She was waiting for him in her throne room, observing him intently as he entered. "So much underdeveloped potential," she murmured to herself, "at least he keeps his word to remove his energy, which would have been a hindrance."

She stood up from her throne and descended with her spear in hand. Walking towards Rizevim, she asked, "What weapon do you use?"

"I haven't quite decided on a weapon yet. I would like to master all weapons, but let's start with the spear, like yours," Rizevim replied.

"Then choose any spear from the side," she ordered.

"Why?" Rizevim asked.

"Because I said so," she replied with sharp eyes.

Rizevim complied, knowing he was not powerful enough to argue.

"Defend," she said, and started attacking with a thrust of her spear. Rizevim immediately sensed the danger and tried to block the spear with his own. Alas, it was futile, and seeing this, he immediately backed off.

"You have good innate instinct but an underdeveloped combat instinct," she remarked. Rizevim tried to retort, but then swallowed as he was here for that, and she immediately attacked without a pause, lowering her spear to aim at his leg.

Seeing the spear coming so fast, he immediately increased the density of his hands and gripped the spear tightly, tilting it to deflect her attack. "You have good control over your body, but your techniques are so lame," she remarked. In response, she swiftly moved her spear 180 degrees, hitting his chest and causing him to fall to the ground in pain.

In agony, his instincts screamed of impending danger. He tried to move and block the blow with his spear, but he immediately faltered, blacking out and losing consciousness.

When Rizevim woke up he saw he was laying down on ground with Scathach seating on her throne looking down on him. She remarked " I thought I hit you too hard on your fragile body."

Rizevim gritted his teeth, about to retort, but she continued, "Okay, from now on, I will teach you the ways of the spear in the first half, and in the next half, you will be fighting undead from the bottom to the top of the mountain next to this one."

After she vanished, Rizevim sighed and got up from the floor. He walked down the mountain to continue his training. However, when he tried to circulate his energy, he found it sealed with complex runes, similar yet different from Asgardian Runes, and he suspected they were Primordial Runes. He couldn't break this seal, as his knowledge in rune magic was not at the level of meta-magic that Scathach was using. This seal wouldn't hinder his cultivation, but it prevented his body from expelling or using his energy.
