1 AM

The Old man suddenly wake up, when he heard a loud tremor coming from the direction where Jade is, and as he looked outside a surprised expression surface in his face.

'And hear I thought it will take him until 6 AM or until Lunch"

The surprised expression in his face only last for a short period of time, because he remembers the three potion that he gave to Jade, then the surprised looked turn into disappointment.

'Well, that's to be expected I guess, maybe he discovered the effects of the potion earlier than I thought'

He thinks that Jade relies on the effects the potion, and that is why he finished his task earlier.

"I should go, where he is now and check him out'

Then the Old man jumps over the door and went out to where Jade is.

"What the hell happened here!?"

As he arrived at his destination, the Old man first looked at the tree, and what he see makes his sleepy eyes wide open.

The damaged in the tree is really strange, the first part, maybe just almost one fourth of tree contains many marks that is a proof of continuous chopping but that is not what makes it strange, but the damaged after that.

'It looks like after chopping some part, it only took him less than 10 swings to chop the whole tree down.'

'What happened here? Is he the one responsible for this or...?'

He ponder for a little while then he looked for Jade, which is just laying down near the tree itself. As he see Jade sleeping soundly he decided to just wait for him to wake up, then he will start his questioning.

8 AM

Jade slowly opens his eyes, and what he see is the brightness of the sun, but he suddenly feel some discomfort in his body.

' What's happening in my body, .....is it because of the sun?!!!!'

Then he walked under the tree and what's surprised him is that the Old man is also there.

'Hey!! Old man!! Wake up!!!'

"What is it kid?!"

The old man slowly open his eyes then the memory of what he saw last night flash. He look intently to Jade as if scanning his body and soul but he can't find anything strange.

"I finish your task Sir, what shall I do next?!"

Strangely enough Jade doesn't feel tired at all it just that the sun makes him uncomfortable.

"What do you experience in the pass days Kid?, tell me and I will adjust your training a bit"

Even with the help of the potions he still think that it is impossible to chop the tree with only ten swings,'maybe there's someone who helps him' the Old man thinks this way.

"Alright, I'll tell you Sir, but can we first go back to your house or go to a place without sunlight"

Jade scraches his head while asking.

Because the Old man is so eager to know what happen, They just sat under a tree.

"It goes like this......."
