Chapter 22 Visiting Forest Again

Rishi had spent an hour meditating in his garden; he had decided to incorporate one hour of meditation into his morning routine.

He then began practicing his fundamental sword moves with his wooden sword.

He attempted to practice using the correct method that Naman had shown him while teaching him.

Rishi summoned Sheru and left him alone to train and play; he then practiced and meditated all day.

He went through the same routine for two more days. Rishi soon realised he wasn't making much progress, so he decided to go in the forest to train his sword and gain experience.

He informed his maid that he would be staying with Kabir for a week. He then called Kabir and told him about his made-up story.

After which he put on the cloak he had gotten from the elder and went to the local market to buy a tent, a sleeping bag, and some food ingredients.

He then went to the Puna Forest, looked for a suitable location, and soon discovered a cave with a level 4 magic beast, he killed it, cleaned the cave, and made it habitable.

After which he began his training, making the decision to begin with weak magic beasts and gradually increase the difficulty as he improved in combat.

When he first faced a level 3 magic beast, he observed that he was uncomfortable while using these newly learned moves in battle.

He fought many level 3 magic beasts and made himself at ease with his upgraded basic sword moves.

He quickly realizes that level 3 magic beasts are too weak to challenge him, so he begins practicing with level 4 magic beasts.

It was difficult at first, but he quickly adapted and begin to feel at ease while fighting level 4 magic beasts as he fought more, he discovered all of his mistakes, so he tried to refine his basics more and more, and he soon discovered that even the level 4 magic beasts were not enough to give him a challenge.

He then began practicing alone because he was not prepared to face level 5 magic beasts.

.

He was unaware while he was busy training, the people around the entire town and his clan were astounded to learn that Rishi had awakened to become a beast tamer and had already reached level 5.

But what surprised them the most was that he had not only completed the first level of the Rawat clan's beast tamer challenge, but had also broken the previous record.

They also talked about how Rishi had been unusually quiet and had done nothing for quite some time and had changed.

Some claimed that he was a sleeping tiger who had just awoken. His both parents were very great, so he couldn't be ordinary.

.

Rishi was meditating below water fall when he discovered that he could remain thoughtless for 5 seconds. It was due to his passive skill, 'enhanced focus,' reaching level 4.

He then resumed his practice, and the outcome was far superior to any of his previous training sessions. He quickly improved significantly.

He realised he had levelled up while training. He sighed as he looked around and realised Sheru was not with him. He'd spent less time with Sheru in the last few days.

He had to be training as well he thought.

He then resumed his practice. He could easily use weight distribution this time, and his control had also improved.

He went to the jungle to find a suitable opponent and came across a magic beast. It resembled a large black boar with larger tusks, but what made it unique was an additional large horn on its head.

He used his inspection skill to examine it and a screen appeared before him.

Rishi murmured as he examined the magic beast's stats and abilities.

"This appears to be a very powerful magic beast."

He then approached the magic beast without hesitation. The magic beast noticed a man approaching him with a sword in his hand.

The magic beast was initially perplexed, but he soon realised that this human was attempting to challenge it.

He grunted and assumed an aggressive stance.

Rishi also took out his sword and struck a fighting stance. His right leg was in front, his left behind him, and his sword was in front of him.

Rather than attacking the magical beast like his previous self, Rishi chose to observe him.

The magic beast attacked Rishi with his horn and tusks, but Rishi simply turned slowly, dodged the attack, and resumed his pose.

The beast simply made a 'grunt' sound and charged at Rishi again, but Rishi easily avoided its attack each time.

Rishi was about to dodge again when the magic beast activated its 'mobility' skill, giving Rishi no chance to dodge his attack this time.

Rishi was surprised for a second before calming down again. He simply used his sword to deflect the magic beast attack to the left while moving to the right.

The magic beast collided with a tree, which split the tree in half; it became enraged as he realised he had missed again and charged at Rishi while activating its 'Horn Attack' skill.

Rishi became serious this time, and he carefully defended himself using his wooden sword horizontally.

The attack knocked Rishi back a few steps, but he appeared to be unharmed. He fought the magic beast for a little bit before becoming bored.

He then raised his sword to the top of his hand, and took cover behind a tree to avoid the beast's incoming attack, then jumped when the beast attacked the tree and brought his sword down with all his might; the sword struck the magic beast's neck cleanly, and a head fell down.

The body of a headless magical beast could be seen moving for a few meters before collapsing to the ground.

Rishi's sword was dripping with scarlet-colored fluid, which he cleared by swinging it in the air.

One of the best features of Rishi's sword was that it was so smooth that nothing remained on its surface.

He summoned his 'book of contracts' and looked at his status window.
