Chapter 5: Four months
Diligently training, a month had passed. Shaon's cultivation level had risen to the peak of fourth level of Master stage. Even Remy was surprised by this speedy progress but it just goes to show you, the more seriously you take training, the more beneficial it is.
Shaon's gains during that month were not only limited to the rise in his cultivation level but also in terms of understanding. He gained a better understanding at fighting and honed his fighting skill, he had tripled the control over his body, his body fitness had risen to a whole new level as well. If he were to face those three elites from his clan now, he could easily slaughter them.
Even though the gains were immense, Shaon understood very well that this was only a short time gain. When Remy's power ran out, he would not be able to advance this fast even in his dreams. They made their goal to reach the Prince stage in another 6-7 months.
When during the day Shaon would do body training and fight against Archaic Beasts, at night, when he was cultivating, Remy would do a little review of what he did wrong in those fights or praised what he did right. Remy had a carrot and a stick teaching method.
He would praise him when he did things right but he would scold him if he did them wrong. When the praise and scolding are in balance, the effects are most beneficial. If you only either scolded or praised, it would only get Shaon killed.
Even though for the past month Shaon had been training intensively, the little monkey was not left behind in this. Remy worked out a training plan for him as well and the little monkey actually followed it. However one thing that baffled the both of them was how fast that little guy was growing.
When before he was about as big as Shaon's little back, then now he was twice as big as Shaon. The monkey's height reached a full grown mans now. Regarding this even Remy could not give a clear answer, he could only say that he was either a cross breed or a mutant.
Now they had reached a small town. Since it had walls surrounding it, you could tell that it wasn't little village in the sticks. They only stopped at the town for a few hours as Shaon went around looking for a map. He quickly found one and after learning the towns name and where Shaon's hometown was, he quickly understood which direction he needed to go in to reach Soradeen.
After talking it over with Remy, Shaon understood just how big the world was, to reach Soradeen in the pace that they had been going in would take at least 6 months. However they were in no hurry as they traveled along the way. Shaon also used the last of his money to buy himself a few essentials like some new clothes and a few dried rations.
As they merrily traveled along the road training time flew by and by now 4 months had passed. Shaon had just broken through to the third level of Grandmaster stage. His aura was different from before, he had fought a lot of life and death battles in these woods and had collected a lot of materials from Archaic Beasts as well. As Shaon was standing there on the road, he was frowning.
Behind his back was the little black monkey who was now huge compared to him. Shaon had decided to call him Veri. If someone passed by right now, they would probably laugh their butt off when they saw a 3 meter tall Yeti with a very buffed body hiding behind a 7 year old. As for the reason Shaon was frowning, a very powerful person had asked him to be her travel companion to Soradeen.
Shaon would've taken up the offer if the lady's guards had been a bit less of a prick. Instead of nicely asking him if he didn't mind accompanying their lady, those guys just barked orders at him.
When Shaon heard the orders, he was frowning and trying to hold back Remy, who was screaming inside his head, “You lowly little piece of shit. You dare order around my successor with your lowly skills? I've seen five year old who have more talent in their pinky finger than you have on your entire person.” Remy was truly enraged.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Over the course of 5 months that he had been training with Remy, he had learned a lot about his personality. Usually he was a happy go lucky kind of fellow, who went with the flow but if someone dared to order him around, it was like stepping on the tail of a sleeping dragon.
As he was frantically holding Remy from exiting his Dantian and killing everyone there, one of the old guards got closer, “You little slave, you dare ignore the orders of our lady?” As the old man drew closer to him, even Shaon was slowly starting to feel rage building up inside him.
None of the people there could detect Shaons true cultivation level, it was a neat trick taught to him by Remy. Although it didn't work on people who had a cultivation level higher than you. 15 out of the 20 guards were at the Master stage while the other 5 were in the early stages of the Grandmaster stage.
However even Shaon couldn't see through the cultivation level of the people inside the carriage. That was what made him most cautious, he had killed a lot of arrogant pricks on the road but even he didn't dare to randomly pick fights. However, the more that man talked, the more irritated Shaon grew.
When the old man in gray robes finally reached him to grab him by his arm, Shaon did a roundhouse kick to the stomach for the man. Before anyone could even register what just happened, the old man had flown deep into the woods already, through every tree along the way as well.
Then Shaon just looked extremely pissed as he yelled where that man had flown to, “You little prick shit, what the flying fuck gives you the right to call me a little slave? I have seen 5 year olds with better talent for cultivating in their pinky alone than you have one your entire persona.” As Shaon was raging towards the woods, he raised his middle finger to show there as well.
When the man touched Shaon, his aura changed immensely and his power rose to an unfathomable level as well. However, the one talking wasn't Shaon but Remy. Remy could take over Shaon's body for a short period of time and when he did, his strength came along as well. However, he could not stay for too long because if he did, he could cause great damage to Shaon's body.
Suddenly the carriage doors opened and two old men with a beautiful young lady jumped out. They all looked at Shaon with serious expressions as one of the old men wearing a purple robe asked, “I wonder how we have offended you great master but we apologize about that and hope that we can travel together in harmony.”
Shaon(Remy) looked at the man and raised his middle finger towards him as he said, “Fuck you prick. If your dogs had asked me like a normal person instead of barking orders and insulting me, I would have traveled with you but your arrogant little fucking puppies can't even ask someone to travel with them without managing to piss someone off. Who the goddamn Hell do you think you are?”
As the man heard the outburst, his teeth were grit from anger. He understood very well that the ones at fault here were them and if someone had barked orders to him like that, he would have most likely done the same as him. In this world, strength was power no matter who that strength belonged to. If you were strong enough no one dared to order you around.
The young lady stepped forward and respectfully cupped her hands towards him, “I apologize for the rudeness my subordinates showed you and would respectfully like to ask you to join us on our journey to Soradeen.” As Remy looked at the woman standing about 20 meters from him, he smiled. “It has been a long time Little Targon.”
When the woman heard that, her facial expression froze.
