After explaining and telling Faye most of her earlier mistakes, Thiago finally got to his own training, which he had originally planned to start today. So, Thiago told Faye that he would now practice his techniques and if she was too bored to just stand there and watch, he could take her into his inner world for now, until he had time to let her fight another beast.

As Faye was also a bit tired at the moment, she actually considered Thiago's offer for a moment, until she realised that there was a huge disadvantage to it, as she would not be able to go out on her own and would only be able to wait for Thiago to take her out himself, so she finally decided against it.

"I'll just watch from the side-lines, it doesn't matter." Faye replied to Thiago's offer, to which Thiago nodded in understanding and then said: "Alright, but you have to keep a certain distance as it can be quite dangerous to get too close to me when I test my skills.

Understanding this Faye did not disagree and obediently distanced herself a little as she would not be playing with her life like that.

'Alright, time to practice these newly acquired techniques.' Thiago thought as he decided to start right away with his 'Dominant Lightning Chain Art', as it was the only one of his techniques used purely for attack, which made it pretty self-explanatory why he was training it out here.

Going over the contents of the technique in his mind, Thiago was already getting a better feel for it, and the mana in his body flowed in accordance with the technique He felt the lightning mana aroused by the technique flow through his meridians as it headed towards his paws, as he had no hands or arms in his tiger form, As the lightning mana slowly coalesced at his paws, they formed arcs of crackling lightning As Thiago concentrated on the dominant lightning chain technique, he could feel the mana coursing through his body, electrifying his muscles and filling him with power.

As a tiger, he had to use his paws instead of his hands, but he was just as adept with them With a sudden burst of energy, he lunged forward and unleashed a crackling bolt of lightning from his paw The bolt sizzled through the air, leaving a trail of sparks before striking a nearby tree with a deafening crack Thiago marvelled at the power of the technique, He knew that mastering it would give him a significant advantage in any battle He practised the technique, moving quickly and fluidly as he unleashed bolts of lightning from his paws, striking trees and rocks with deadly accuracy As he trained, Thiago felt his confidence grow with each successful strike He knew that he was becoming a more formidable opponent with each passing day, and he relished the thought of testing his skills against even more powerful foes.

He knew he was becoming a force to be reckoned with, and he was eager to see what new challenges lay ahead. Practice made perfect, and Thiago knew that mastering his Dominant Lightning Chain art would take both time and dedication.

He focused his mind, and with a flick of his paw, he materialised chains of lightning that crackled and sizzled with raw energy.

Thiago practised his technique, moving quickly and fluidly as he unleashed the lightning chains, striking trees and rocks with deadly accuracy. He experimented with different variations of the technique, adjusting the intensity and range of the lightning bolts to suit different situations.

As Thiago continued to practise his Dominant Lightning Chain art, he realised that the lightning chains he was materialising were not yet perfect. They were a little unstable and the lightning would occasionally flicker or dim.

Thiago knew this was a problem. If the chains were unstable, they could easily be broken by an opponent, rendering the technique useless.

So, he decided to focus his training on stabilising the chains and improving the overall effectiveness of the technique. With each repetition, Thiago became more attuned to the flow of mana in his body, and the chains of lightning became more stable and powerful.

He pushed himself harder and harder, testing the limits of his technique and refining his movements until they became second nature.

Meanwhile, Faye's eyes were full of wonder as she felt that Thiago's movements looked very elegant, even though those lightning chains gave her a great sense of danger, but Thiago looked as if he was gliding and moving with precise steps over the ground, so that it almost looked as if the chains were dancing with him, giving this scene a different kind of feeling.

"Hmph! I hope Thiago will teach me some techniques like that too," Faye muttered absentmindedly as she watched Thiago practising, but what she did not know was that these words clearly fell into Thiago's ears, as his hearing was simply incredibly strong after having advanced to the superior student realm.

Well, although he heard her, he showed no reaction as he had already planned to teach her some techniques soon when he found the right one for her, and her saying that only strengthened his intention.

It was only a short time later that Thiago actually took a short rest before continuing his training, which went on until dark, when he suddenly decided to find another opponent for Faye, as he had simply lost all the fear of the night and the dark of the forest that he had had when he first came to this world, and for whatever reason did not want to hunt in the dark, even though he clearly had an advantage in the dark as he had black fur, but whatever, those were things of the past.

"Faye, we'll find you another opponent, let's go!" Thiago ordered before heading off in a direction where he had already spotted a perfect prey with his extremely good senses.

This time her opponent was actually a small basilisk, who seemed to be of the similar or even same race as the Previous Golden basilisk but was immensely weaker as he was only at the 3rd Tier of the Student realm, which was a small stage lower than the previous opponent, the Apekin.

However, the basilisk was not to be underestimated, as it was many times more powerful and dangerous than the Apekin on the same realm, so it should be a good opponent for Faye to gain combat experience.

This time Thiago did exactly the same as in her precious fight and only watched from the side-lines ion case some emergency occurred while taking note of the flaws and mistakes she revealed during the fight.

And soon the fight had already begun with Faye taking the lead in attacking the basilisk, but the basilisk was certainly no vegetarian either and promptly counterattacked...

…

This time the fight lasted a bit longer and Faye was able to hold out longer than before, well, not that it was comparable as the two fights involved completely different enemies, but anyway, in the end she was still unable to defeat the basilisk and had to be rescued by Thiago in the end, Thiago did not show the slightest sign of concern, as if he had already expected this outcome, which was indeed the case, as Thiago was well aware of the Basilisk's fighting abilities, which were still many times stronger than the almost inexperienced Faye.

"Well, you can see that she's progressing quickly, she seems to be a bit of a genius," Thiago mused at that moment, as he was quite pleased with Faye's performance in this fight, even though she had lost it in the end. She had already made up for some of the mistakes that Thiago had explained to her earlier after her fight with The Apekin, and unexpectedly she had already corrected some of them, which really showed some of her potential.

"Damn, that ugly snake, or whatever it is, was only able to win against me because it was so hard to see in this dark forest with its dark skin!" Faye shouted with utter conviction, as if that was the real reason she had lost, making Thiago almost laugh again at her hilarious personality.

"Well, yeah, I know, I know." Thiago replied, barely able to contain his laughter before becoming serious again and saying that he would quickly tell her some of her obvious mistakes in this battle before taking her to his inner world so that she could sleep.

Well, first of all, you were able to correct some of your previous mistakes against the Apekin, which is quite good, but don't get complacent because you still have a lot of mistakes. Well, to start with one of the main mistakes I saw you make this time, it was the...

…

Half an hour later, Thiago had already sent Faye into his inner world, while he himself was still outside practising his 'Dominant Lightning Chain Art', having suddenly felt an impulse to do so, even he did not know why he followed this instinct, as he was not the least bit tired yet.

He felt that he was slowly gaining a better and deeper understanding of the technique, and that sooner or later he would reach the small - achievement realm, which would multiply his attack power with this technique many times over.

It was only after another two hours of training that Thiago felt he had had enough for the time being and went back to his inner world to sleep in a comfortable bed instead of sleeping outside somewhere.

…

The next morning, after a light breakfast of steamed buns and porridge that he had bought for himself and Faye at the System Shop, Thiago immediately resumed his training, having already reached a stage of the 'Dominant Lightning Chain Art' that could be used in combat, although he still wanted to reach a higher level of understanding before using it in battle.

This time, he had decided to practise the Abyss Turtle Breathing Art, as it was also an extremely important technique for him to be able to hide his aura, which was important to him and of great use to him.

He would do the same as the day before yesterday, find an opponent for Faye, and after their fight was over, he would explain to her the mistakes she had made in that fight. After that, he would practice alone while Faye watched him, or she would cultivate herself.

'The Abyss Turtle Breathing Art' was completely different from the 'Dominant Lightning Chain Art' in almost every way, as they had different uses, but Thiago quickly got the hang of it too, as the system had already given him all the information he needed, and he just had to follow the instructions.

Suddenly, his aura, his scent and basically everything that indicated his presence disappeared as he activated the technique, which immediately startled Faye, who had been cultivating somewhere off to the side, as she suddenly noticed that Thiago's scent was missing, which was an abnormal situation.

Just as she was about to get a strange feeling, she opened her eyes and saw Thiago still lying in the same place where he had started practising one of his techniques earlier.

Seeing him there confused her, but she did not do anything else as she did not want to interrupt Thiago's cultivation, which could lead to a backlash in a serious case. It had to be said that Faye was quite tactful in this situation, quite unlike her usual personality and manner of speaking.

'What had Thiago done to make his scent disappear like that,' Faye wondered inwardly, but seeing that nothing else was happening, she closed her eyes again to return to her cultivation.

Thiago, on the other hand, was quite pleased with the wondrous effect of the technique, which took effect as soon as he activated it, making him extremely satisfied.

In order to increase the concealment effect, Thiago eagerly practised the technique for another two hours before he exhaled a cloud of air and told Faye that they would now look for their next opponent, causing her to jump up quickly, almost in anticipation, as she seemed to like the feeling of fighting, or maybe she was just surprised that Thiago suddenly spoke to her after all this time of practising in silence.

…

As the sands of time trickled away, minutes turned into hours, hours passed seamlessly into days, and before he knew it, just over a week had passed since Thiago began his arduous practice of his techniques.

In the midst of this temporal progression, Thiago honed his techniques with unwavering focus and unexpected determination, while Faye fought valiantly against the beasts, he had chosen for her. And now, after all this time, behold the fruits of their labour - Thiago's progress and Faye's remarkable results...
