The next day, he started fighting against the disciples and instructors of the Orin Temple. He controlled his strength and fought with people who were weaker than him. He would at least fight every disciple for 5 minutes and only after that he would knock them out. On the first day, he defeated all the 50 students of the Orin Temple. Being able to control his power was equally important as the power itself. So, he was honing his capability to control himself.

He fought instructors for half an hour per day and retired for the day. Only the head instructor was a challenge for him. He knew that the best way to grow in battle power was to fight someone stronger than you and the best way to learn to control that power was to spar with someone weaker than yourself. After the battles, He would contemplate the battle and how he could have done better. He asked guidance from his master and master A-wut alike. Master A-wut instructions had given Rayhan unique insights. After staying for a month, the master and disciple duo left for another school.

Similar occurrences happened in many schools over the months and his reputation had grown. According to his estimation, his battle power should be around 205, and his master was at 250. During the journey, he would spar with his master from time to time. It accelerated his growth in power level. He also realized one needed pressure to overcome his or her limit. Since during this era there was not much pressure for survival. The growth was slow and minuscule compared to the growth of Z fighters.

'Mutaito will be able to reach a power level surpassing 300. I wonder how he achieved that with no real danger looming around.' He wondered.

'If Mutaito was born 300 years later, He might become as powerful as Saiyans despite being a human.' He thought to himself and laughed at his silly thought because it was virtually impossible to match them with their transformation which gave them 50X multiplier.

As they traveled school after school was defeated in their path. It was not that spectacular feat because many people had done it in the past. The one who last defeated all the schools was Monkey hermit during his youth.

10 months later, the master-disciple duo reached the Monkey Temple.

Since Monkey Hermit was the strongest living human, even Tiger Hermit was somewhat respectful towards him. Monkey Hermit looked like a monkey. He was scrawny and short. He had an unkempt appearance due to his facial hair.

"Brother, Tiger you have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you to come. Let us drink some wine and chat." The Hermit said heartily laughing.

"Since, Brother Monkey is willing to bring out the wine. Naturally, we should follow your instructions." Tiger Hermit replied.

"Of course, Come. Come. Let's go to a quiet place. Also, your disciple should come as well. I heard a lot about him. My disciple has been anticipating his arrival for months now." He said.

After that, they went and drank wine. It was a bit bitter but after going down the throat it gave a pleasant feeling.

"This wine is called the monkey wine. Consuming it for a prolonged period can help the body grow stronger. That is why the disciples of this school are much stronger compared to other schools. This wine has more practical benefits than mind-calming tea. Unfortunately, they don't sell it, unlike Orin Temple." His master relayed to him the message through telepathy.

'Even if they sold the wine, it will be far more expensive than mind-calming tea. I would have to slave away to acquire such wealth to be able to eat those things on daily basis.' He contemplated.

The next day, Rayhan started his usual school defeating streak. He confirmed that students of Monkey Temple were significantly stronger than in other schools. The strongest instructor had a power level of 200. Thus, Rayhan had learned a lot from him. Only Mutaito was hand not been challenged.

Mutaito's power level was restrained. Therefore, Rayhan could not accurately gauze his strength but Rayhan was sure that it was roughly equal to his own.

"Brother Mutaito, I would like to challenge you after 10 days." Rayhan cupped his fist and asked for a match.

"Okay", Mutaito said and turned around. He seemed to be a person who didn't communicate much.

Rayhan was able to guess both of their power levels were about equal. So, He trained to a near-death state and ate a Senju bean for the next ten days. He had grown from the pressure.

The day of the match came.

Two people were standing in a ring. One was a short and stocky guy with a mustache and another was 6 feet 3 inches and was built like a tank. Naturally, They were Mutaito and Rayhan.

When the bell rang, they launched themselves at each other. Both were equal in strength and speed. However, Rayhan was taller. So, his reach was longer. Thus, he would occasionally connect a good hit. The match was in favor of Rayhan but suddenly Mutaito gave him an unexpected kick which brought the match to equilibrium. This fight went on in the same pattern. Rayhan would dominate for a while then Mutaito would manage to land a solid blow and then equilibrium. This went on for half an hour.

Since they were in a battle, Rayhan had easily found out that Mutaito's power level was nearing 210. His was nearly 215 due to the last 10 days of training. So, he was at a slight advantage.

Another half an hour passed. The match seemed to be in perfect equilibrium.

They started going blow for blow now. Another 30 minutes went by and both the contestant was exhausted. Rayhan had trained in near-death states 10 times previously. So he had a good grasp of this situation and he was used to exhaustion. Their speed had considerably slowed down and their punch did not have as much power.

Mutaito saw that Rayhan was defenseless in the stomach area. So, after seeing the opening he punched with all of his remaining strength. However, after the blow connected, he didn't feel any flesh rather Rayhan disappeared in a flash. Right then Mutaito was kicked hard on his ass and he fell down the stage and fainted. Rayhan had used the afterimage technique with the last burst of energy and wonder the match.

2 days later, Tiger hermit and Rayhan were returning when Rayhan saw Mutaito at the top of a mountain. Mutaito mouthed the words "Next time I will defeat you."

Rayhan just smirked and went on his way.

They reached the Tiger school after 1 month of traveling. He lived in a tailor's shop for a while and drilled Fanfan for quite a while. After his mind felt relaxed, He counted Senju beans and there were 72 of them. It would last him a long time. His next step was to learn to fly because it was more convenient while traveling and Also, it was faster.

2 weeks later, He had increased his flying speed to an adequate amount. After that, he taught it to his father and master.
