Chapter 11 - The Space Within The Bracelet

Taking a deep breath, Jason breath out some black smoke which was no other than the impurity inside him. Walking to a tree, Jason threw out a punch without holding back his power as he wanted to test his strength, and to his surprise, the tree busted apart.

"This is cool, hey are you seeing this," said Jason to the bracelet in excitement.

"Yes, kid, and it's all thanks to me that you were able to get this strong yet you didn't know how to appreciate good" reply the bracelet.

"Sorry I forgot, I hope you won't take it to heart" apologize Jason.

"Forget kid, you are my master so I won't take it personal since your energy is also beneficial to me" reply the bracelet.

"My energy, what do you mean by that" asked Jason in confusion.

"You see as a treasure that has gain intelligence, I need spiritual energy to keep sustain myself and the moment I am out of energy will be the day I cease to exist. And the best way to get energy is from absorbing the spiritual energy from other treasure or humans spiritual energy" reply the bracelet.

"I see which means you have been taking energy from me since the day I took you," asked Jason.

"Yes, and it is the reason why I was able to awake from my slumber" reply the bracelet.

"I think I am beginning to understand you a little," said Jason as he begins to walk toward another tree.

Now standing in front of the tree, Jason took a deep breath after hesitating of he should kick the tree since he has tasted the pain he went through the first time he kicks a tree, and now that he no longer had the vial of the healer with him anymore.

"Hey kid what are you planning to do just standing here," asked the bracelet when seeing Jason standing.

"When I started training my legs for the phantom kick technique for the first time, I almost crippled myself after kicking hard on the tree without holding back my strength" reply Jason.

"And now you are thinking of kicking the tree in full force but you are scared of crippling yourself right," asked the bracelet.

"Yes, that's what been troubling me" reply Jason with a nod.

"And I thought you said you wanted to master the technique before the tournament begins" asked the bracelet once more.

"More than anything and I am running out of time" reply Jason.

"Then kick the tree and besides with your new improve strength, I find it hard to believe that you won't be able to kick it in two" yelled the bracelet in anger.

"You mean I won't get any injuries if I were to kick the tree but instead the tree won't be in a good state," asked Jason in amusement.

"Precisely or have I ever lied to you before" reply the bracelet.

"Not at all, you have been very sincere from the start," said Jason with a smile.

"Good, now go on and give the tree the kick of its life" yelled the bracelet.

Throwing his worries to the wind, Jason lifted his leg and sent a powerful kick at the tree, and to his surprise, his leg was fine but the tree was still standing with no sign of a crack. Jason was disappointed by the outcome and has just turned his back ready to walk home when he heard a cracking sound, turning around to see what it is only for Jason to see the tree was sliding to the side as it falls on the ground.

"It works, I actually destroyed the tree with a kick," said Jason in excitement as he ran to where the tree used to stand.

"What did I told you earlier about the blood refining process, now you can practice the technique without any worries of breaking your bones" commented the bracelet.

"Right but I am not sure if I should practice it now" reply Jason as he took out the manual.

"There is no need for you to worry too much kid. With your improved strength, you should be able to enter my space and learn the technique there but the only problem is that you won't be able to stay for long" said the bracelet.

"What space are you talking about," asked Jason.

"It's like a dimension but this one is special since you will be able to comprehend the technique faster in there" reply the bracelet.

"Really, then how am I supposed to get inside this Space you speak of," asked Jason in anticipation

"Easy, you just have to let your consciousness into the bracelet and since you are the master here, you won't face any disturbance" replies the bracelet.

Sitting on the ground, Jason begins to concentrate and it didn't take long before he started feeling dizzy and went unconscious but was still in his sitting position like he was meditating. Looking around him in panic as he begins to fall from the sky before slamming into the ground but he didn't felt any pain which was very surprising since he was supposed to felt some pain.

And then again where he was sent to was without light and Jason was beginning to regret while he had to listen to the bracelet spirit and come to this place but it didn't take long before his surroundings begin to light up as a bright light ball before to float towards him and Jason begin to take a step back in fright since he doesn't know what the ball of light is.

"Welcome to my space master" reply the bracelet.

Hearing the familiar voice, Jason stopped backing off as he asked while looking at the lighted ball.

"Hey is this ball of light your spirit".

"That's correct, this is what I look like" replies the bracelet.

"You scared the living hell out of me when I saw you moving towards me earlier," said Jason as he let out a sigh.
