Bang!
Jaden stood in the center of the training ground, repeatedly punching the sandbag in front of him.
With his current physical conditioning, simply hitting a sandbag was probably useless-the reason he was doing it now was mainly for another kind of training.
-That was punching at the speed of sound, having his fist land on the sandbag, and ultimately not blowing the sandbag up.
His daily mandatory lesson was to use this method to maintain his understanding and control of his body, lest the fusion of Pique's template finish and his control over his strength and his understanding of his body become blurred.
"Jaden, time to eat."
Erina walked in from outside the training area, looking at the still-training Jaden with a gentle smile.
"I got it, Erina."
Jaden turned around, took the towel from Erina's hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then nodded with a smile.
"Erina, how is the Shinomiyas' matter being handled recently?"
Hearing Jaden say this, Erina shrugged.
"To be honest, it's the same old story-those members of the Shinomiya family put their trust back in Oko Shinomiya after learning he was still alive."
"But because of your previous actions, Kaguya managed to secure Unyo Shinomiya's inheritance rights. In about a month, they will probably still use the Shinomiya succession battle to determine who will be the family head."
Jaden nodded upon hearing Erina's words.
"So, should I move now to quickly take over the Shinomiya family?"
"No need for that."
Erina shook her head.
"Things are just right as they are... and the fact that those gossips are still gossiping means they have started to fear your power, and giving Kaguya the right of inheritance means they've started to yield."
"That's enough for now."
"Mhm."
Jaden nodded in agreement with Erina, having no objections.
He could entrust most things to Erina to handle. He would only speak up for the few things that required his action or things he could no longer tolerate.
And just as he usually listens to Erina under normal circumstances, if he became serious, Erina would also listen to him.
This was their mode of interaction, built upon their respective personalities.
Erina has her own style when dealing with things and is definitely a qualified helmsman, so most matters are left to her.
Jaden...
Apart from how he treats Erina, basically everyone who knows Jaden clearly understands that he is a person with a terrible personality.
He is aware of this himself.
That's why he doesn't interfere with things in everyday life.
"Since there's nothing that needs my intervention recently, Erina, I might need to spend a minimum of three days and a maximum of ten days to complete a cultivation, or rather, to achieve a goal-help me prepare an undisturbed space, preferably large and empty, and don't let anyone bother me. Just leave the necessary food outside for me every day."
Hearing Jaden say this, Erina was startled for a moment, then nodded.
She doesn't know much about fighting, but she has heard that some martial artists often undergo extreme training or special targeted training to become stronger.
She had never heard of Jaden's training method.
But Jaden is also much stronger than a typical martial artist.
It's understandable if he has a few eccentricities.
"Okay, I understand."
Erina nodded, then gave Jaden a helpless look.
"But don't push yourself too hard. Forcing yourself too much isn't always a good thing, you know."
Hearing Erina say this, Jaden scratched his head.
"Don't worry, I won't force myself... I just simply feel that there's one thing I can probably do now, so I just want to try it out."
Saying this, Jaden's eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
His so-called training was actually not training, but an incomplete, yet 80% to 90% accurate, duel!
And his opponent for the duel could naturally only be the one he had long prepared for.
That's right.
-It was Yūjiro Hanma, simulated by his imagination!
...
The power brought by the Hanma bloodline is actually more than just the Demon Back.
The Demon Back is just the external and most obvious manifestation.
Furthermore, the fighting spirit of the Hanma bloodline, which is almost integrated into the cells, gives this bloodline super-strong tension and recovery ability, plus an extremely strong resistance to common poisons.
This is what people in the Baki world know about the bloodline of the strongest creature on earth.
But in reality, the power of the Hanma bloodline doesn't stop there.
After Baki conducted a large number of simulated battles, Kureha Shinogi, the ceiling of doctors in the Baki world, conducted a full-body examination on Baki.
He then discovered an obvious problem with Baki's brain!
-His brain's convolutions had been trained into a Demon Face!
This is the so-called Demon Brain!
Holders of the Hanma bloodline can rely on their own imagination to simulate a fight, one that can even give them real feedback as if they were being struck. The core of this is probably the brain, which can even develop the Demon Brain.
After Jaden activated the Demon Back, he felt his brain's enhancement of his senses become increasingly powerful.
And now, with his eyes closed in the huge underground space that Erina prepared for him-the moment he truly began his imagination training, he also felt that the Yujiro Hanma he had materialized with his imagination was even more real!
Seeing this Yujiro Hanma, Jaden smiled.
"Last time, I was furious because of your twisted logic... but this time, it's my turn. The me now is not the me from last time, Yujiro Hanma!"
Hearing Jaden's words, Yujiro Hanma also smiled.
But it wasn't an excited smile-it was a sneer!
"Do you think you can defeat me now, kid?"
"Heh... thinking about what to do if you lose before the fight even starts... do you take me for that kind of trash, Yujiro?"
Neither of them answered the other's question, but at the same time, they both had the answer to their own question in their hearts.
The next second.
-Their fists collided!
...
Bang!
The door to the Imperial Leader's office was pushed open, and the manager of the Imperial Intelligence Department walked straight in.
"Leader... that Jaden seems to have trained this morning and afternoon. The satellite reports from his location say that some of his body movements briefly exceeded the speed of sound, reaching above Mach 2... but this speed is still far from Mach 3. Is the near-Mach 4 alarm you asked to set up... is that thing really useful?"
The manager of the Intelligence Department pushed up his glasses.
"I'm not aiming this at you, but simply analyzing the intelligence, the individual named Jaden Yuki seems never to have reached Mach 3; the maximum was Mach 2. Near Mach 4... based on big data analysis, it's likely he can't achieve that speed at all."
Hearing his subordinate's report, the Imperial Leader smiled.
"Whether he can reach Mach 4 now is indeed hard to say-but I wonder if you've noticed his age... Even after his birthday this year, he will only just be seventeen, still in his growth phase, and not yet an adult. Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Hearing the leader say this, the intelligence officer was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
He manages intelligence and holds a high position, so naturally, he is not stupid.
He didn't quite understand at first, but now he realized.
"Are you suggesting that the main purpose of monitoring him alone with the satellite is to track his growth rate?"
"You could say that... After all, even if we are wary of a guy who hasn't reached his peak yet, we can't guard against him with a stable value... This monster is still growing, so if we want to observe him before he reaches his limit, the upper limit should be set higher. That way, we can better judge his growth rate, and also..."
Before the Imperial Leader could even state his most important objective, the phone on his desk rang.
He was startled for a moment, exchanged a look with the manager of the Intelligence Department, and then picked up the phone.
"What's wrong?"
As he asked the question, a voice from the other end of the phone caused him and the intelligence manager, who also heard the message, to widen their eyes simultaneously.
"Leader... The satellite specifically used to monitor Jaden... has sounded the alarm! Jaden's speed has exceeded the limit you set!"
"The satellite has begun tracking the target's location, please advise!"
