Hua Tuo wasn’t expecting Zero to return so soon. With how furious Zero had been, he thought that it might take the boy at least one night to cool down and try again. The brunet came back with a new look of wisdom in his eyes. Hua Tuo kept an eye as Zero approached him under the Progression Falls. The Sage God wasn’t prepared for Zero to kneel before him and bowed his head till it touched the floor. While he mentioned about the traditional kowtow that disciples did to their masters, Hua Tuo never…-

Hua Tuo didn’t stop his disciple from trying new ways to find an answer after his hint. In fact, his job as a mentor was done. The rest was up to Zero to find his answer and learn by trial and error. Bob and Mii didn’t interfere with how Zero’s wanted to test out but they did inform Hua Tuo when the teenager had gone too far. The lungfish experiment robbed Zero of his hope when he found out that paying with insurance didn’t work with the Aggression Falls. It was as if the waterfall didn’t give…

Hua Tuo woke up to the smell of breakfast in the form of roasted fish. Zero was already sitting cross-legged under the Aggression Fall meditating with a frown on his face. The physician smiled at his student’s enthusiasm. Last night must have been something if Zero was so ready to dive into facing his fears head-on so early in the morning. The Sage God ate his roasted fish and steamed rice before doing his morning ritual to warm his old bag of bones. The qi gathered at Trigression Falls was a lot…

Mitchnew and Ruth weren’t too surprised to find that both master and student returned soaked to the bone. The dark elf prepared dry clothes while Ruth prepared dinner. Hua Tuo made a mental note that for quicker progress, he should set up camp in that cave that Zero made. Submerging oneself into the training experience is always a good thing. Many masters achieved breakthroughs quicker when they go into seclusion to train. He took a look at the vampire and dark elf and made up his mind. At dinner,…

Zero didn’t know how to describe the feeling of sitting under the Aggression Falls. While it was true that the water tried to drown him, Zero felt that it was more irritating than dangerous. The pins and needles feeling wherever the water made contact with his skin was annoying. Zero couldn’t really move to scratch it or shrug it off during a meditation session. Hua Tuo watched as his student fidgeted constantly underneath the waterfall. He thought that Zero looked slightly constipated with his…

Zero let out a long burp. Lunch was delicious and now that he was full of energy, he turned his hopeful eyes towards Hua Tuo. The physician knew that look. Zero gave him this expectant eyes whenever he was promised lessons about something new. With the brilliant boy’s intelligence, it was sometimes difficult to keep up with his hunger for knowledge. Thankfully, this lesson was going to be a much simpler one for Hua Tuo to teach. It didn’t consume his limited energy and stamina. Perhaps this would be…

Oblivious to Mitchnew’s worries, Zero was having the time of his life. He’d been to the forest many times and had a very good map of the place. However, there were still many unmapped areas and Zero wanted to tackle everything. He had an hour to be back for lunch and that was plenty of time for the teen to do what he wanted. The first place Zero found himself going to was the swamp in the forest. The last time he came here, it wasn’t fully explored. Zero got sidetracked by the fireflies. This…

Zero looked at the stick in his hand and back at Ruth. The vampire wasn’t joking and the brunet wondered how he was ever going to be able to accomplish his new mission. True, it took a lot of practice and patience to perform a surgery. However, in a combat situation, how could anyone retain finesse and grace while defending against an attack or plotting a counter move? Ruth didn’t look like he was fooling around and Zero gulped. It was just an ordinary dried up branch that had fallen to the ground…

Hua Tuo looked at Zero’s secret martial manual and raised a brow. Zero had decided to demonstrate to his shifu the ’overpowered signature moves’ that he invented over the last week with his combat teacher. Hua Tuo flipped through the pages and tried not to laugh at that horrible middle-school syndrome leaking through the naming sense. For all the stages of growth that Hua Tuo didn’t mind Zero missing out on like the taking apart his waterwheel and catching of garden pixies in action, he didn’t…

"Welcome back," Mitchnew greeted and Zero groaned. The sun was simply too bright. Wait, sun? Zero bolted up quickly and took a quick glance at his surrounding. he was tucked into his straw mattress with a moth-eaten blanket draped over him. It didn’t take long for the apprentice know where he was. "Wait, what? How?" Zero blurted out, confused as a fish. The dark elf smiled. Hua Tuo did say that desperate times called for desperate measures and while she was happy that the village head…
