My Life as an Awoken

Chapter 152: Body Training Techniques

The training method was actually pretty easy to find. If you just use some common sense, you will realize that a training method that doesn’t use any "supernatural" power to train the body is easy to replace.

It’s not perfect and still requires a bit of time and effort to change, but it is much easier than any of the others.

The other training methods use things like meridians, veins, aura, life force / vitality, spiritual images like tiger form, and even blaschko’s lines.

Trying to change any of those would be a nightmare.

I did have a concern that if we ever managed to get a training method for energy or mental types that they might interfere with them.

Like using the meridians might interfere with future energy cultivation and that spiritual images would interfere with mental cultivation.

However, there is also the chance that they might boost or be beneficial to them instead.

Then all of that is assuming that training the body doesn’t interfere with any other training methods.

We would love to be working on energy cultivation methods or techniques but no one has stepped forward to present any. I know they must exist because the abilities exist.

However, unlike most body training, energy training is most likely going to be meditation. Which means we can’t just take a video of someone doing it and copy it.

We do have a few mental training methods but we have no way of telling if they are working or not. Since all of them come from religions, and we don’t have a way to measure mental strength. There simply isn’t anything we can do.

For now we can only focus on body training methods and another aspect that we haven’t touched on yet.

Martial arts.

While some of the training methods come with martial arts forms, those forms are for training the body not fighting.

One of the main reasons I had for holding off on this for a while is that modern martial arts are not made for superpowered people. I doubt even ancient martial arts are.

But, now that we are finishing up our current research on one topic it’s only right we move onto another.

So, let’s focus on martial arts... only after we have rolled out the body training techniques. Let’s call them techniques. It sounds more in line with the aesthetics of the Purple Lotus Treasury.

After running the computer we have a total of 10,000,000 body training techniques.

Just to be clear, the techniques have grades. There are way more lower grades than higher grades. It makes a pyramid with lower grades on the bottom and better grades the higher you go.

We have designed the system to work like this. You start with a low quality cheap technique, then as you gain strength and resources, you can buy the better technique.

The low techniques feed into the higher ones with little effort spent to change the technique because they are very similar.

The qualities are low, mid, high, peak, and ascended.

Every quality can allow for someone to "Ascend" or "break through". Every quality has what can only be described as a physical limit that you will inevitably reach. The quality affects how quickly you can reach it.

The quality also affects how easy it is to break through. With ascended, leading there without any real effort or struggle to break through.

A concern I had was about the deal we made to get the initial training techniques. We said that they could pick a training technique at a later date. I am afraid that they will all choose the ascended quality blocking off all routes for the common people.

So, I have been thinking that I only allow them to choose up to the peak level. Or that they can’t hide the technique from the rest of the world.

I have been thinking about how to broach the topic for a while but I still don’t know the right way to approach the topic.

I need to find a way to benefit both sides that won’t compromise the ability for the common person to reach the top.

Maybe I make sure that every niche has a path to the top. Niche representing all of the individual paths. Like all of the elemental abilities, or all of the differing physical abilities. I can try to make sure that they all have a route to an ascended body training technique.

I have over 10 million techniques, for each quality that leaves low quality with 9,000,000 / mid 900,000 / high 90,000 / peak 9,000 / and ascended with 1,000.

That means that for the less than 100 families that I owe a technique to, I don’t really have to be as cautious as I thought. Numbers really put some things into perspective.

With all of that worked out we can finally allow the body training techniques to be sold.

To sell the techniques we paid a guy with a contract ability a lot of money to make a contract we could use.

The contract makes it so that the people who buy a technique cannot teach, pass on, or resell to another person.

There are a bunch of other legal stuff included to really cover our bases, but that is the gist of it.

With everything ready we released the techniques in the heart of summer.

Needless to say, before releasing to the public we allowed our business partners to pick their techniques first.

After the techniques went public they immediately went viral. People were hyped talking about what techniques they wanted and what they thought was the best.

The only information they had to debate with was the name of the technique and a short description. But that alone was enough for the internet to go crazy. The excitement was crazy, but that also came with one large criticism.

Only licensed awakeners had access to the techniques.

They said that it was unfair that those who already had power got to keep getting stronger.
