He looked at the 50% increase of the Savage Sword fighting technique in just nine years and said, "I don't even like swords, yet I made this much progress. Imagine what kind of progress I could make with boxing."
Others think he is a genius because of his cultivation, but he knows that that is only because of the advantage of the Mountain Sitting Dao system.
Because of the system, he has greater strength than he should. His true strength is still extraordinary, but it is not as unbelievable as the Mountain Sitting Dao system makes it seem.
It is his comprehension ability and his hard work that are his true ability. Because of them, he progressed from the first transformation to the seventh transformation in just five years.@@@@
He knows that the main reason he made such quick progress in the mastery of the sword fighting technique is because he has a high control of his body.
The sword fighting technique was mostly pulled along by his mastery of the three foundational techniques, but if anyone calls him a genius in terms of comprehension ability, he is willing to believe it.
He is not surprised by this, though. His trainer back on earth, who had taught him boxing for self-defense, had called him a genius.
Back then, he didn't believe the guy because he was paying him for the training. It was expected that the trainer would strike his ego to get money out of him.
But now that he can see his progress clearly and there is only him left to stroke his ego, he can start to see some truth in what that bootlicking trainer was saying.
That memory made him chuckle and say, "Those were the good old days."
Those days were especially good because they were the days before the cancer that eventually took his life arrived.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about his past. Then he turned his sight to the progress of his Mountain Karma.
Every day he earns 15,000 karma from his dojo and 12,500 from giving out bread, which makes a total of 27,500 karma daily.
He has about 2,162,000 karma left to reach level three of Mountain Karma, so it should take him 79 days to reach level three.
He can reduce this time by allotting more money for the bread-giving charity. After all, he can afford it.
The 270 gold coins he spent on buying bread this last nine months is about 3 months of income from his wine for him. So he has more money to spare. But doing so will draw too much attention from thieves.
He has already drawn attention from thieves. His house had been robbed many times in the past few months. If not for Ruff, who alerted him to break-ins, he might have died during one of the robberies.
So it is not that what he is currently doing is not dangerous. He has already crossed that line. Pushing beyond is not a good idea at all.
For context, the amount of money he is spending per month on buying bread to give to the poor is comparable to what second-class dojos like the Owl Claw dojos earn per month.
So people like Master Owl Claw are already tempted. They haven't made a move yet because of their fear of him and his family. But they might overcome that fear if he increases the allure of robbing him.
His plan is to take things slow and steady. After all, he has the time.
He still has ten years to prepare for the regional sect examinations. So he has no urgent need to risk his life.
He plans to earn his karma slowly. In the meantime, he will strive to achieve the two other goals that will make him exceptional during the regional sect examination.
He said to himself, "I guess it is time to join the ten thousand beast hunting society."
