After his training, Caleb went back to others, not before cleaning his body and arm. Speaking of which, his arm 'was almost back to normal. No pain, swelling, or any other negative status except for a little stiffness.
The effects of the medicine that he applied to his arm had exceeded his expectations. 'I didn't expect it would just take one week and more... Perhaps, those herbs probably mutated too?'
It was the only feasible idea that he could think of. After all, if the beasts and trees in this world got mutation. What prevents herbs from doing so? It was a weird world.
There's also a good thing that he gained. He realized that one could actually gain control of the rate of consumption and utilization of physical energy in this world. What is physical energy? It wasn't a magic energy like Qi, Chakra, Mana, or the like. It was the basic energy that exists in the body of every living thing. So... no matter the world or the universe, physical energy exists. It's the basic energy that humans used to do physical activities. Basic isn't it?
It's also the so-called 'Stamina' or at least they are directly connected with each other. By learning how to control the rate of consumption of physical energy. He becomes more efficient and can last longer in battles. It lets him prevent the loss of energy unnecessarily when doing physical things like punching, kicking, and whatnot. Then there's also utilization... It can be said that he can now channel his physical energy into any part of his body to enhance it. For example, if he channels his physical energy into his fist, he could punch stronger. It's essentially like Taboo energy, but it is more natural and compatible with the body. Albeit, the effect was much less.
...
"Done with your training?"
Jin looked at Caleb, who just came back.
"Your arms look much better now. Can you finally use it in battle?"
Caleb was surprised as he saw that Jin was back at himself. His usual demeanor returned from how it was before the deaths of Miles and Athena, matching with a faint smile on his face. Thinking of this, he smiled at Jin and said:
Surprisingly, he managed to control himself even after encountering Apokalips. Clifford knew that he wasn't strong enough yet. Only by becoming more powerful than everyone would he have the chance to avenge his parents and eradicate the Apokilips. The only way that he could and the only option in front of him was to move forward and survive! To reach the Last Wall, Wall of Hope, become a Destiny!
Hearing this, Fushigiro and Jin's eyes changed, and they couldn't help but give Clifford a look of surprise.
Caleb, on the other hand, wasn't as surprised as them. After all, he knew the other party's backstory and aspirations. He was an extreme type of guy.
'It seems he managed to put his head all together. Is it a good thing?'
Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr
He doesn't dislike extremist people as those types of people are often the ones who are crazy enough to do crazy things. Some of them can even change the world in their ways.
After all, extremist people would go to such lengths just to achieve their goal. It was the opposite of his personality. He prefers a slow and stable kind of approach in everything he does. However, he can also become crazy once the circumstances need him to. He was most proud of his flexibility and adaptability.
"Let's go. We can only hope for the best now." Fushigiro sighed, his voice weary.
Caleb, Luna, Andre, Fatty, and Clifford nodded with a hint of resolve.
Just like that, under Jin's guide and rigorous scouting... They continued their journey. They began their ascent on the next mountain while practicing their utmost caution. Even the rustle of a leaf was enough to stimulate their vigilance.
