Noah thought of this training method remembering the mangas he watched in the past, one of them had training in water, because movements were very difficult inside it. He trained for a week like that and his progress was very good, but his body soon adapted to it so he put stones in his legs to make it even more difficult, like some gravity training.

The training became incredible hard and physically taxing, wich he liked a lot, because his body getting tired like this means progress in cultivation. He also often fell down in the water because of the failed kicks, so he found a not so deep part of the river to not drown.

Noah got out from the river all soaked, and stared at the waterfall, wondering if he should do like these novel protagonists and try to split the waterfall with a kick. He shook his head and gave a laugh, going back to his cave.

Back at the sect, Noah checked the price of the Wind Kick Technique, because the elder seems to remember him very well. It could also be needless worry, because the elder may not even go watch the outer sect disciples compet.i.tion, but it's better to be cautious. Maybe he would go watch Xiao Long and help him or something, after all there's aways that one good elder in the sect that helps the protagonist. Wandering in the pavillion a bit, he finally found it.

"Wind Kick Technique--Mortal Rank / High-Level

Summary: Increase your kicks force with the power of wind.

Price: 100 Spirit Stones."

Staring at the technique price, Noah was hesitant. A hundred Spirit Stones was a big deal, this technique was one the most expensive ones of the Mortal Rank. Noah had around 190 Spirit Stones in total. He hesitated for a long time, before he finally bought it. After all, not buying it could result in his death. Even if it was a small posibility, he would still buy it. He was not like these protagonists that constantly get chased down by sects, he could easily die like that. He sighed.

'Since I am here anyways, might as well check for another technique.' He wandered around again. He found one he needed right now.

"Eye of The Hawk--Mortal Rank / Medium Level

Summary: Practioner becomes capable of seeing at long distances.

Price: 30 Spirit Stones."

This technique was something Noah needed, since he was using a bow. Having a very good vison means being capable of hitting the opponent before they are even able to see you, something crucial to a long range fighter. It was also cheap compared to other Medium Level techniques, probabily because few people use bows. He bought the two techniques, and got back to his cave.

Back at his cave, Noah had eated another pill, and the results were seriously lacking compared to the previous time. He only advanced something like 1/4 of his stage by using it, completely different from the stage jumping from before. The third pill would have even worse results.

'The compet.i.tion will start soon' Noah started to rub his chin, reminiscing the past events. Xiao Long had caused trouble again, and this time he beat one of the second ranked disciple underlings. They will probabily fight in the tournament.
