《Elemental User in the world of one piece.》 Prologue to a new beginning In the City of Changzhou, a youth with an above average muscular build was walking home from school. He is hearing a white shirt with blue pants and wearing a bright blue blazer over his shirt. He had dark black hair and his brown eyes gave people that walked past him a sense of uneasiness. it was as if his penetrating eyes could see right through them. This Youth is our MC Fai Zhu. Fai Zhu is a 17 year old youth that was born and raised in Changzhou. He comes from a fairly common household. His father works as a delivery driver for a furniture company and his mother works at a floral shop. Fai does not have many hobbies aside from practicing his Muay Thai and watching anime. His is quite skilled in Muay Thai and has won numerous tournaments. Of course while his parents were to see their son excel at something, other people including his fellow classmates somewhat feared and felt disdain for his talent. Another group of people who not only feared Fai Zhu but even suffered at his hands were the bullies of his school. It did not take long for Fai to become their worst nightmare. Whenever he came across a bully terrorizing other students, he would quickly step in and attack them until they passed out. It did not take long for Fai Zhu¡¯s reputation to spread throughout the school and eventually reached the ears of the other bullies at school. After suffering continuous defeats, all the bullies bullied decided to band together and ambush Fai Zhu. Unfortunately, their advantage in numbers meant nothing in Fai¡¯s eyes and while he did suffer minor injuries, when compared to the injuries inflicted on his attackers, the difference was practically heaven and earth. Nearly 100 of them were hospitalized for at least 6 months. While Fai Zhu did not seek out confrontations, he would not back away from a challenge and punish those who their power on the weak. He learned at a very young age that not only did one need intelligence, he needed strength in order to live the way he wanted. Fai Zhu was drawn to Muay Thai for its versatile techniques and the damage it can inflict on his opponents. While he did not have any complaints with his life, Fai felt that he was missing excitement in his life. Fai would often imagine himself setting off on an adventure to discover new places, meeting all kinds of people and make friends, and battling enemies who had abilities no regular human could possibly have which incidentally drew his interest toward anime. Fai loved watched all kinds of anime but the one that appealed to him the most and watched everyday was One Piece. Although it only aired once a week, he would rewatch old episodes until every detail was engraved in his heart. This held especailly true for the fighting scenes. Fai would study the fighting techniques of not only the main characters but their enemies as well. He would try to place himself in Luffys and his companions situation and imagine what he would do in their positions. Fai really identified himself with the Luffy because he also thrived for adventure and challenges. Luffy never let anyone stand in his way to accomplish his goals. While many people feared Luffy and his strength which was similar to Fai¡¯s circumstances, Luffy also had companions who saw his true side but still accepted him regardless. Although he did not mind being a solitary person, he still wanted to make friends of his own. Fai did try to make friends when he transfered to his current school however after the events of the attempted ambush, his fellow students would either avoid him or not even look him in the eye. Fai looked at his watch noticing it was already 4:30." Good I still have 3 hours before the new episode of One Piece airs. Beep beep beep¡­, Fai hears his phone and answers ¡°hello?¡± "Mr.Zhu, this is Mai over at Martial Sporting goods. I wanted to inform you that your gloves just came in and are ready to be picked up. Would you like to stop by the shop?¡± Fai: Yes! I will be there shortly. Fai hangs up the phone and starts sprinting. "Hah hah hah¡­its 5:30 and the store is only 2 blocks away. If I hurry back, I should be able to get home before episode 747 starts". Flop Flop¡­ as Fai continued to run, he couldn¡¯t help but hear the sound of cans falling down in a alleyway which was only a 100 ft away. Since he didn¡¯t have alot of time, Fai was just going to ignore it and keep running to the sports shop. As he was just about to pass the alleyway, he heard a scream ¡°Please give back my wallet!¡± Fai quickly made his way to the alleyway and saw a old man on his knees grabbing the pant leg of a rather tall stocky man who looked at the old man with anger and said ¡°dammit old man, how do you only have 200 Yuan (30 US dollars) in your wallet. This will barely cover my beer costs for the day!¡± The old man desperately pleaded the robber ¡°you can keep the money but please return the wallet. That is a present that my grandson bought for my birthday!¡± The stocky robber said with a cold smile ¡°really¡­ in that case here you go.¡± The robber dropped the wallet and the old man sighed with relief but just as he was about to grab the wallet, the robber gave a swift kick straight to the old mans jaw and sent him hurling toward a couple of trash cans. The stocky robber picked the wallet back and said ¡± who are you to demand anything from he old man. Ill take and keep whatever I want!¡± Just as he was about to leave, he felt a chill down down his spine and immediately turned around. The first thing he saw was a fist thrusting toward his face! The stocky robber tried to dodge it was too late. Once the fist made contact with his face, the sound of bones cracking echoed loudly throughout the alleyway. The stocky rubber was sent flying and hit the wall. The impact caused him to cough up blood. The robbers nose was caved in and blood was coming out of his mouth and nose. He looked up and saw a youth walking toward him. The robber saw the killing intent in this youth¡¯s eyes and yelled¡± Who the hell are you kid!? Are you looking to die?! Fai looked at the robber with a cold smile as he walked toward him and replied ¡°Who I am is irrelevant. All you need to know that your pain is only just beginning¡±. The robber sneered and replied: you think just because of a lucky punch that Im going to run away? Dream On!. The robber pulled out a knife from his waist and dashed toward Fai. The robber slashed the knife downward toward Fai¡¯s face. Fai let out a chuckle seeing this. Once the knife was in close proximity, Fai side stepped and avoided the knife by a hair¡¯s length. At the same time he grabbed the robbers wrist and countered with a knee kick that landed on the robbers stomach. The robber could feel his insides churning while this attack could have sent him flying, Fai hands was still grasping the robbers wrist so he couldn¡¯t escape. With a quick twisting motion, Fai forcefully twisted the robbers wrist until the knife fell out of hand. Despite disarming his opponents weapon, he still kept twisting until he heard a crack ¡°Ahhhhhh! The robbers scream heavily echoed throughout the alley. Thinking it was over, the robber started to yell: you bast¡­ before he could finish, Fai sent a powerful high kick to the robber jaw which sent him up in an arc before landing face first against the concrete. The robber laid their motionless. Fai went over the check on the old man. As he looked over the extent of the old mans injuries, Fai sighed with relief that the old mans injuries were not too serious but regardless he was still unconscious. He pulled out his phone began dialing 110 until¡­BANG!!!. Fai Suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and looked down to see blood coming out. Fai turned around and saw the robber laying on the concrete with a gun in his other hand. With a smile on the robbers face, the gun fell out of his hands he immediately lost consciousness. Fai cursed in his heard ¡± Dammit!! Why didn¡¯t I check to make sure he was out cold!¡± He fell to his knees. "Its no good, I have lost too much blood and my vision is becoming blurrier by the second .Dammit I cant accept this; Dying at the hands of weakling and a criminal no less. If it was Luffy the bullets would have bounced back or someone with haki could have nullified the attack completely". Unable to maintain his posture, he slowly laid himself on the concrete. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. Fai no longer felt strength in his body and knew at best he only had a minute before the last bit of life in him was extinguished. With a sorrowful expression, he looked up in the sky and wondered if there was a god watching. Fai: If you can hear me, if there was such a thing as reincarnation, I want to be reborn in a world with mystery, excitement and the chance to test my limits against powerful fighters. I refuse to believe that this is the extent of my story. I will shine more brightly than anyone and destroy those who get in my way! .... With that , the individual known as Zhu Fai died. Some time later, in a endless white space, there was a young man lying on the floor. Uh¡­ uh.. ahh¡­ huh? The young man quickly pushed himself up and observed his surroundings . "Where the hell am I? There¡¯s nothing but white space around me. There¡¯s no edge or border of any kind that i can see. More importantly, didn¡¯t I just die?" This young man was naturally Zhu Fai. A thought came to his mind ¡°Could this be heaven?¡±. Mysterious Voice: Hmm not a bad guess but still wrong hahahaha. Fai: Who¡¯s there!? Fai looked for the source of the voice but no matter where he searched he couldn¡¯t pinpoint it. ¡°Relax kid, Ill show myself¡­ A bright golden light shot forth from the white sky and landed a few feet from Fai which caused him to stumble and fall on his bottom. The light quickly dissipated and Fai was able to see this ¡°person¡± was about 6ft tall wearing a long white robe. He had long blonde hair with red scarlet eyes. He was fairly dark skinned and had a rather average build for his height. Mysterious Voice: Hello Zhu Fai, I¡¯m sure have you a lot questions but let me first introduce myself. I don¡¯t like people calling out my full name so just call me Mr.Wang. Although stunned by the mans appearance, Fai quickly regained his composure and asked this Mr.Wang: ¡± Where is this place?Am I still alive? and¡­ What are you?. Mr.Wang let out a laugh and replied: Relax Zhu Fai, we have plenty time and I will explain everything. Mr.Wang: As to what I am, I am what you people call a god. Fai: a god? Fai looked at this ¡®god¡¯ with doubt in his eyes and asked: Are you the god of my world?. Mr.Wang replied: No¡­ Your god left your world long ago. There are numerous gods in existence;not just yours. However not every god has the ability to create life like yours did. While gods may share the trait of immortality, They also have their own innate abilities that set them apart from each other. And they also rank different when it comes to strength. Concerning your current situation, you are in fact dead. Before your soul reached the gate to heaven, I pulled and isolated you in my domain¡±. Fai was kept quite and absorbed all the information he was told. After a long silence, Fai asked: Why am I here?. Mr.Wang answered¡± To fulfill your wish of course¡±. Fai: My wish?¡­ Do you mean¡­ Mr.Wang: Yes I am going to allow you to reincarnate in the kind of world you were yearning for. In fact, I will be sending you to a world your quite familiar with¡±. Fai asked in confusion: A world that I am familiar with? I am only familiar with Earth. What world are you talking about?. Mr.Wang let out a sigh ¡± obviously from that show you watch every single day. I believe it was called One Piece? Fai couldn¡¯t keep his composure any longer and yelled: WHAT!? How is that possible. I thought One Piece was a fictional work by Eiichiro Oda. Mr.Wang: I understand your skepticism but it is true. Most of the worlds you have watched on what you call anime actually exist. The gods that created those worlds would often select a human and establish a link with them. Through this link, a god can show and send information about their world to a human. Of course humans are not aware of this so they assume the information they receive is their own ideas or inspiration. The reason gods do this is because it is a form of competition for them. Fai asked: How is that a competition? Mr.Wang: To see who¡¯s world is better of course. Since your world has over 7 billion mortals , the gods let the humans judge which one their worlds is better. Fai stared at Mr.Wang in astonishment and thought to himself ¡±unbelievable , all this time those worlds were actually real. and this god is sending me to One piece''s world no less. I can finally meet Luffy and actually go on adventures with him. but wait why he is offering to send me to that world. Even if this guy is a god, there is no one this nice. There is a catch somewhere¡±. Mr.Wang: Your right about that kid. ¡°hold on you can read m..¡±. Mr.Wang: Yes i can; its one of my abilities. Anyway I will send you to the world you desire but you have to do something for me. Fai: What do you want me to do? Mr.Wang: I want you learn and master an ancient body refinement technique that I have in my possession. Fai asked¡±Body refinement Technique? Like the ones in Xianxia novels? Mr.Wang: ¡°Yes, while the concept is the same , this technique is special. This technique is both a qi gathering and body cultivating technique. The name of the technique is: Physique of the elements. Within the countless number of gods in existence, there has not been one mortal who has ascended to the world of the gods using this technique with the exception of master who created this method. Fai asked: What about you? Why didn¡¯t you cultivate with your master technique? Mr.Wang replied with a less energetic tone: its because by the time I met master, I was already halfway through my cultivation methods. I had reached the point of no return but my master took pity on me and helped nonetheless with my training. Thanks to master, I was able to ascend and become a god. I asked if there was anyway I can repay him for his guidance. He gave me the task of passing his technique to mortals who had the potential to master this method like he did. I have passed this technique down to 9 mortals who showed great potential but in the end, the best of the 9 only made it halfway through the method. However I believe you have good chance at accomplishing this task¡± Fai replied:Hmm¡­ before I give my answer, I need to confirm something. Mr.Wang: What do you want to know. Fai: The cultivation technique in Xianxia worlds states that qi is a form of energy that exist throughout the world. That same explanation is given to describing Haki in the world of One Piece. Are Haki and Qi the same kind of energy? Mr.Wang answered with anticipation: In a sense yes. The difference is that Haki is much purer than Qi, it is very abundant in the One Piece world, and there are different elements of Haki as well. Fai : Different elements?¡±. Mr.Wang¡± I¡¯m sure you have seen those elements in action by know. Fai:¡­. Mr:Wang: Anyhow, The elements are as follows:earth, wind, water, fire and lighting. Those elements are key to mastering the Physique of the elements. So have you decided? Fai looked at Mr.Wang with reverence and said:¡±Yes! Ill do it. hahahaha so what if no managed to master this technique. There is nothing I can¡¯t accomplish with determination and hard work. Mr.Wang: I like your spirit kid. Now close your eyes. Im going to impart the technique into your mind. its more convenient than having a scroll right?. Fai closed is eyes and soon felt a hand on his forehead. Seconds later, an insane amount of information was being transferred into his mind. Fai gritted his teeth and bared this pain. The process only took 2 minutes. Fai slowly opened his eyes and Mr.Wang looking at him with a smile. Mr.Wang: I have imparted the technique along with a message from me and my master. It time for me to send you on your way. I hope we can meet again Fai. Fai: Will i still have my old memories? Mr.Wang: Yes! you will need them for the challenges your going to face in that world. I have done all I can for you. Good luck kid. Mr.Wang waved his hand in an upward motion and summoned a bright gold light which enveloped Fai. After a few moments Fai disappeared along with that golden light. Chapter 1 : 12 orbs Grand Town has a population of roughly 5000 people. It is located in the eastern border of Osiris Island. Out of the three towns on the island, Grand Town is considered to not only have the largest population but it also occupies the most area of land too. In a small house, there was a young man sitting by the bedside of a beautiful blue haired woman. The women was in pain going through the final moments of labor. ¡®Honey, you¡¯re in the final stretch, just one more push.¡¯ The young man was said with concern. ¡®hah! hah! hah! hah! hah!¡­ ahhhhhhh!¡¯ The beautiful women gave one final scream which was soon replaced by the cries of a baby boy. ¡®Honey you did it, it¡¯s a baby boy!¡¯ The young man said with excitement. ¡®Darling let me hold him¡¯ The beautiful women said with a gentle smile. guh gah ruh yu¡­¡¯Look honey I think our little one is trying say something¡¯ The beautiful women said with a curious expression. ¡®Ha Ha Ha, oh darling our son is not even a day old, how can he possibly try to form words¡¯ The young man couldn¡¯t help but let out a laugh after dismissing the possibility. The beautiful women turned to the young man and said ¡®I suppose your right but what should we name him?¡¯ Young man: hmmm¡­¡¯How you do feel about Yin Shen?¡¯ Beautiful woman: Yin Shen¡­ I think it suits him. Later that night in a room with his parents, Yin Shen was lying in a crib wide awake while his parents slept. ¡®So my name now is Yin Shen huh¡­not a bad name but it will take some time getting used to¡¯. The baby Yin Shen was in fact Zhu Fai. He had successfully reincarnated along with his memories. Yin Shen: I don¡¯t have much mobility in this body but that is to be expected. Since I have all this time, I might as well look at the technique Mr.Wang left me first. He also did say there was a message from him and his master too. Yin Shen dived into the innermost reaches of his mind. It didn¡¯t take long for Shen to find 12 orbs hovering next to each other. Each orb was numbered one through twelve starting from the left. When he tried touching the orb numbered ¡®1¡¯, his hand phased through it. The same happened with the rest of the orbs. ¡®Why am I unable to open these orbs? There must be some method to opening them but I can¡¯t seem to find that memory¡¯. Yin Shen was feeling frustrated and didn¡¯t know what else to try, however; as he was about to give up, two spheres of light suddenly emerged from behind the orbs. One gave off a golden radiance similar to what the mysterious Mr.Wang demonstrated when they first met. The other sphere was crimson and shined brighter than the golden sphere. Without warning, the golden sphere shot out a radiance which covered the entire area. Soon the radiance was slowly dimming down and Shen was able to see the golden light taking the shape of a person. When Shen saw this person, He cried out in shock:¡¯Mr.Wang!?¡¯. Mr.Wang:¡­.Zhu Fai if you¡¯re seeing this projection, it means you attempted the open the first orb. You also must be wondering why you¡¯re not able to open any of the other orbs either. There are two reasons for this. The first is I set seals on each of the scrolls which can only be opened when you break through the refinement techniques¡¯ respective stage. In other words, you can only open them in chronological order starting from the orbs numbered ¡®1¡¯. As for the second reason, your lower dantian has not developed enough for you to advance to the first stage. You must first absorb Haki from the world and circulate it in your lower dantian in order to nurture it growth. Next Haki must be guided from the lower dantian to the rest of your body so it can not only remove the impurities from within but also strengthen your body. Shen: Tch no wonder I couldn¡¯t even touch the orbs but why would he set seals on them? Oh it looks as there more to this message. Mr.Wang: I imagine you¡¯re quite anxious to start cultivating. Once this message ends, the method to drawing and channeling Haki will be imprinted in your mind so be patient a bit longer ha ha ha. Shen: hmph acting like he knows me. Old man knows me too well. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! Mr.Wang: Moving on, I should explain my reasons for the seals. It has to do with your predecessors. I previously told you that only the best of the 9 mortals, my previous disciples, were able to cultivate this technique. They were able to master half of the technique but the Haki in their bodies ended up becoming unstable. That instability caused their lower dantains to eventually explode; killing them in the process. Shen:¡¯!!!!!¡¯ Mr.Wang : I naturally grew concerned so I watched over the last 3 disciples to see if there was a common link to the previous deaths. I was disappointed when I found the reasons to be so simple Shen: ¡®simple¡¯? Mr.Wang: it turned out they forcefully broke through the technique stages without removing the impurities. Once the impurities are removed from the body, the amount of Haki absorbed is reduced by sixty percent. On the other hand, when the impurities of Qi are removed from the body, its essence is reduced by 90 percent. ¡®The previous disciples were blinded by greed and kept the impure energy in their bodies so they can break through the next stage faster. Maintaining that impurity in their bodies resulted in their lower dantains and elements essence to become unstable which eventually led to their demise¡¯. ¡®Lastly, the disciples looked at the contents in the later stages of the technique which describe how to absorb stronger versions of the elements essence while they were only in very early stages of the technique which put their bodies through tremendous torture and left permanent damage. Although you seem like a smart person Fai, I do not want you to suffer the same fate as your predecessors. To fully grasp this technique, it is imperative that you build a solid foundation before each breakthrough¡¯. Shen: I understand now. So these seals were for my benefit. Although I don¡¯t consider myself a rash person but the temptation of taking short cuts can influence even the best of people. I am no exception to this either. Mr:Wang: I bet your wondering what the function the crimson sphere serves. The sphere contains a message from my master but it can only be opened when you break through the final stage of the technique. However I am not clear on what the message is. Now before this message ends, there is one last thing I need to tell you. It is concerns the timeline of the world you are currently in. Although you ultimately wanted to travel with Luffy and his crew, I figured you wanted sufficient time to increase your strength before meeting them. To that end, I made it so you were reincarnated 17 years before the start of Luffy¡¯s adventure. Shen: 17 years¡­ Mr.Wang: That concludes the message Fai. From here on out, I can no longer help you. The path ahead will be filled with danger and trials which will test your physical and mental capacity. If you decide not to ascend to the world of the gods and live your life in your current world, I will not hold it against you. Once you reach the 12th stage, there will very few people who will be able to challenge your power. Mr.Wang: I will now pass on the method of drawing Haki to you. Goodbye Fai; good luck and I hope we meet again. The figure of Mr.Wang began to lose its radiance and shape. It resumed the form of a sphere and moved toward Shen. Once it was close, it shot out a golden light which enveloped him. The golden light was transmitting the method to his mind. The pain was relatively light and it could not be compared to when Mr.Wang transmitted the refinement technique. After the pain subsided, he looked around and noticed that the golden sphere was gone. Shen returned from the innermost reaches of his mind. It was still night and both his parents were still asleep. He was feeling various emotions but one thing was for sure. He felt gratitude toward Mr.Wang. If it wasn¡¯t for him, Shen would have died with regrets and never had the chance to achieve his goals and dreams. Shen: Thank you Mr.Wang. I will not waste this life and chance you have given me. ¡®Although I can start cultivating now, I will wait until tomorrow morning. My mind may be that of an adult but I am still in an infant¡¯s body and the desire to sleep is taking over. Tomorrow is a brand new day. I will take the opportunity to learn what kind of people my parents are and find out if I am in East Blue¡¯. With that, Shen closed his eyes and went into a deep sleep. Chapter 2: Danger of Cultivation This is the unedited version. will have the edited version out in 24 hours. It was an average day in Grand town. The merchants were haggling, the housewife''s where gossiping about Orans affair with his neighbor and children who were not under mothers watch were causing all sort of trouble. In a merchants stall who was selling fruits, There was a beautiful blue haired woman carefully looking over the fruits making sure their quality was good. She had a very slender figure with enchanting brown eyes. On her back was a infant curiously observing his surroundings. This infant was naturally Yin Shen. It has been two months since he came to this world. At first, it took some time for him to adjust himself in his new body. The sleeping patterns of a newborn came in random intervals and no matter how much will power he had, the desire of sleep took over in the end. Another aspect of his life he did not look forward to is when he needed to have his diaper changed. Whenever he felt the gaze of either his mother or father looking at his whole naked body, he felt somewhat embarrassed Although they were his parents now, he couldn''t help but feel they were complete strangers peeking at his privates. Shen managed to pick up a few things since his birth. For one, he learned this mother name was Yin Bao. Shen spent most of his days in his mothers care while his father, Yin Cheng went out every morning. From what Shen gathered, His mother was a typical housewife who managed the household. Although it seemed his father had a job, he was not sure it was. Shen also learned that the town he lived was called Grand Town. Shen wanted to gather more information but with his current body, he had to be patient and wait until his body grew up some more. After careful observation, Shen noticed he was also the Yin Family only child. He was also the only child in his world so it did not bother him too much. One odd thing was brought to Shens attention. The Language that his parents and the residents of this town used was actually Japanese! Shen''s native language in his world was Chinese but the anime of One piece was made in Japan therefore the characters spoke Japanese. Although Shen could not speak the language, he still understood some phrases having watched anime for so long. He didn''t dwell on this issue too much. Shen had figured the god who created this world made it so the universal language of this world was Japanese. As for the reason, it was probably done in consideration to the human author the god chosen. After deciding on buying a few apples, bananas, and watermelon, Yin Bao proceeded to continue her grocery shopping. During that time, you could see Shen taking the opportunity to observe everything and everyone around him. Many residents that walked passed him noticed this and would often giggle. Shen was determined to learn as much as possible about where he was. Yin Bao would go shopping once a week which was the only time she would bring Shen outside with her. Although he wished to see more of the island, Shen bared with it. His current body was far from suitable to go exploring. Even Crawling around in the house was challenging for him. A normal child would have to wait a couple of year before he could out exploring. Of course this did not apply to Shen and he was not going to wait that long. Once Yin Bao returned home, she sat Shen in the living room and went to the kitchen make dinner for the family. Once Shen confirmed he was indeed alone, he sat himself against the coach and sat in a cross-legged position. He cleared his mind and visualized the energy of Haki around him. He drew in a small strand of Haki into his lower danitan. After circulating the Haki in the lower danitan, He directed the Haki to the rest of his body until there was nothing left in his lower danitan. Based on the amount of Haki Shen absorbed, the process should have lasted more than an hour but Shen finished in half that time. The reason is that he does not remove the impurities from his body! Shen is obviously not foolish and had his reasons for doing so. The first time it was a little over a week after his birth that he first starting practicing the method. The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Thanks to his extraordinary perception, he was able to sense the Haki in the world which was the most difficult part of the technique. However Shen was too reckless in the following: He absorbed more Haki than his body could handle. After circulating the Haki to the rest of the body, Shen felt as though he was on fire. He soon developed a severe fever shortly after which concerned both his parents. it took Shen about a week to fully recover from the backlash. After the experience , he decided on only absorbing a strand of Haki and to cultivate only once a day. His body was still in its most crucial growing stage and did not want to his body suffer internal injuries early on which would effect his future growth. As to the issue of the letting impurities remain, this was in concern to his parents. Shen Remembered the end result of removing the impurities from Xianxia novels which is black oz coming out of his body. If either Yin Bao or Yin Cheng stumbled upon this, they would think Shen contracted some kind of strange disease which would lead them to constantly which over Shen which was something he wanted to avoid. Shen planned on removing the impurities of his body once he was able to walk. He would have more mobility by then. He would be able to remove the impurities from body and would be able to wash off the black substance without worrying his parents. ''sigh... That was tiring. Although I absorbed only a minuscule amount of haki, the process is still rough on my body''. It was mortifying for Shen to feel this tired after only cultivating 30 minutes a day. ''Im not sure if it because I am still 2 months old, but this feels more exhausting than my old training routine''. Shen was new to the training of cultivation and was also a new experience for him. ''Cultivating everyday is exhausting in this body but I can''t waste the time I have either''. Shen was always persistent when it came to training and would never leave things unfinished. Shen thought to himself ''The months to come will be challenging but Cultivating is just an higher level of training. I just have to remember this will make me stronger''. thud thud thud... Shen heard the sound of footstep and turned to look at the door. He saw that Yin Cheng walked through the door. Shen carefully looked at his father and noticed he was covered in sweat. He picked Shen up and said "hows my little guy doing today". The weather on the island was relatively mild so it was a wonder what his father did when he was out. Hearing her husband voice, Yin Bao came to the living room and greeted her husband with a kiss. Cheng asked "How was did shopping go with little Shen go today?" Yin Bao: it went smoothly as usual but I have to say that our Shen is a very curious child. Whenever I try to grab his attention, he just ignores me and looks at his surroundings. Yin Cheng: hahahaha I see. I feel as though our little Shen will grow up to be a very intelligent child. Yin Bao: "I just finished cooking. Lets sit down and eat" Yin Cheng said with excitement"The food smells delicous as always. Cmon little Shen, it time to fill our stomachs". ''arrgh just put me down. you reek of sweat'' Shen said to himself with annoyance.
