True Martial Arts

Cleaning Yourself in Waterfall

Kala pulled his arm back gently. “Kaia, you have the talent of being a swordsman or commonly called ‘pranor’. You're too old to start training, but I'm sure you'll be a strong mentor.”

Kaia was actually a little disappointed when Kala stopped that comfortable feeling, but she was too proud to ask Kala to do that again. Kaia then listened to Kala's words with attention even though the look on her face did not care.

“I don't want to be your teacher, we can study together.” Kala smiled gently. “For now, we eat first. Training starts tomorrow.”

He lifted his flesh from the fireplace. One stitch for Kaia while the other stitch for her.

“This meat is hot. However, it will definitely be cold with your attitude.” Tempt a little before you start eating.

Kaia's face did not change, remaining flat. He held the meat skewer, hoping to cool down with the night wind.

Kala himself had eaten with a glutton, he drained prana on his mouth to be immune to the very hot meat. Kaia could only stare at Kala who was eating.

Realizing that gaze, Kala asked, “Can't you blow?”

“Have you never been taught manners by your parents?” Kaia asked back.

The etiquette of eating Javanese indeed forbid blowing food to be more polite. What's more, Kaia is a girl. Kala just responded lazily.

“I just want to help. Looks like you haven't eaten in days?”

Kaia nodded slowly. Just like the rest of the citizens, he had not eaten since the Ice Crystal Castle attacked.

“Aih .. look how unfortunate you are. Bring your meat.” Kala stuck out to reach for the meat without waiting for permission.

Kala took out a pill from the interspatial ring. The pill was a transparent blue, a pill given from Maheswari. Kala put the pill on a meat slip and then pressed it until it broke and let out a lot of cold smoke.

The smoke enveloped the flesh and bodies of Kala and Kaia. This pill is a pill that is used if the body burns. In fact, the bonfire in front of Kala to death when the smoke passed.

Kaia immediately shivered violently while Kala used prana to warm herself up. The smoke that was thick enough made Kala unable to see Kaia shivering.

A while later, the smoke started to decrease and Kala said cheerfully, “Well, your meat is already cold!”

Kala stuck out the meat. However, he immediately panicked when he saw Kaia who was shivering with pale white skin. He quickly put the meat on the ground spontaneously.

He also took out a cloth from his ring and enveloped Kaia. However, it was not enough to make Kaia's body temperature return to normal.

Panicked, Kala held onto Kaia's arm and hurriedly drained the prana. Kaia felt a sense of comfort that she had longed for.

Slowly but surely, Kaia's body stopped shivering even though her skin was still whiter than usual. When Kaia feels her body temperature is still unstable, this may happen because Kaia has a fever.

“Ai, I didn't think of this before.” When feeling careless, Kaia is still not a pranor who can warm the body with prana.

Igniting an ice bomb near an ordinary human was an extremely ridiculous act. What's more, using a very expensive ice bomb just to cool the roasted chicken, it was a complete moron.

Kala held a blanket on the ground while Kaia still continued to limp and pale. Kala told Kaia to sleep there, for a faster recovery.

“You ... don't make things ...” Kaia said in a stammer before closing her eyes.

Kala let out a long sigh, in the end this girl did not eat even though her stomach was completely empty. He felt very guilty, even more so he had given false hope with the aroma of meat so delicious.

In the end, Kala ate the meat alone while lamenting the fireplace. He only slept two hours before meditating all night.

***

In the morning, Kaia woke up with a condition that was almost recovered. Kala greeted him warmly.

“Awake up? Drink a glass first new eat.” Kala thrust a plate on which there is grilled meat complete with spices, in contrast to the roasted chicken that yesterday without spices.

Kaia furrowed her brows, had she not slept all night?

The girl was indifferent as she asked Kala for a glass of water. After drinking a full glass of water from which it was unknown, Kaia immediately ate the grilled meat.

Kaia was stunned, unable to chew any further. It feels, it's fantastic! On the outside of the meat is very crunchy and savory, while the inside is very soft so there is no meat fiber tucked in the teeth.

Kaia tried to cover up her admiration, but a Kala could clearly capture the sense of awe that flashed in Kaia's eyes. This girl was eating voraciously and quickly, as if it was no longer time to eat.

Kala repeatedly told this girl to slow down. But again, ignored.

After the plate was empty, Kaia felt her stomach was not satisfied or what was actually her tongue was less satisfied. In fact, Kala has given a portion of twice the portion of meat that last night.

“Where did you get the spices plus water?” Kaia finally asked, but her tone was as usual.

“I looked for him last night,” replied Kala lightly.

“You left me last night?!”

“Well, in the end you admitted that you still needed my protection.” Kala patted her own thigh and laughed softly. “So, stop being cold.”

“This attitude is my attitude. Do you want your attitude to be changed by someone?”

Kala shook his head slowly not intending to discuss this further. Kala dared to leave Kaia alone because Mata Garuda could be relied upon to watch over Kaia.

“Near here is a waterfall. Do you want to take a shower?”

Kaia squinted her eyes, hoping that there was no ill will from Kala and that her hope was right. Kala also wanted to take a bath as well as wash her robe, she really smelled of rotting blood.

Actually, Kala could have taken a shower last night. Unfortunately, he did not want to leave Kaia for long in the middle of the vast wilderness that many destructive beasts like this.

Kaia did not answer or nod, she just stood up and folded her bed. Again Kala could only be patient in the face of this girl's attitude.

Kaia handed the finished cloth she had folded back to Kala. The Garuda Knight lazily flicked his hand, the cloth instantly disappearing from before Kaia.

“When heading to the waterfall later, do not be noisy ...” When you stop his words, don't be noisy? Didn't Kaia already meet those conditions? “I mean, try not to step on the twigs. Watch your steps as you step. If our existence is known by a savage beast, then it will be troublesome.”

“If we have to separate, use this to protect yourself.” Kala gave Kaia her kerambit spirit. “Do not use to play around, just think of this as your own.”

“If there are wild animals chasing you, run among the trees and try not to hide in the cave.”

“Please pay attention to wind direction if you want to hide, because the wind can bring the scent of your body to wild animals.”

Kaia chipped coldly. “You speak like this as if we will be chased by a thousand beasts.”

“This is just anticipation, we don't know what will happen in the future.” Kala raised her voice. “You have no experience yet but your pretentious level is very high. Stop being stubborn or I won't care about you anymore.”

In the end, Kala had to bring out her resolute nature to keep the situation under control in her hands. If only he had just resigned himself to the girl, then both of them would have been in danger.

“Understand, this is a wilderness. You can't count how many dangers are stored here, ready to wait for someone like you.”

He put his fingers on his lips and then tweeted. Instantly also Alang perched on his shoulders, returning with a small size. Alang's body looked limp, Kala felt guilty for not being able to feed him the energy stones.

Moving her hand, Kala invited Kaia to walk immediately.

Kala left a former path when last night to the location. Although this path is barely visible among the bushes, Kala can determine its location.

Almost every step was very noticed. Mata Kala also probes thickets and lush trees.

Other than spirit beasts, another menacing danger was spirit plants. If the spirit animal would be overtly in attack, then the spirit plant would be the opposite.

There are some spirit plants that eat meat, usually they eat animals that pass by. They hide in the bushes, almost unrecognizable if not meticulous.

Kala quietly opened her Garuda Eye because Kaia was behind her, unable to see Kala's golden eyes. Kala also told Alang to use his eyes to watch.

Their journey was safe and controlled until they finally reached the location of the waterfall safely. Kala went straight to the waterfall and doused his face.

The Siraman also flushed the Alang. Angrily, Alang flew upwards and turned huge with flames all over his body. Alang then alighted at the top of the waterfall.

Kala looked at Alang for a while who was far above her, then glanced at Kaia nervously. “Um, Kaia .. You can shower first, I'll go.”

“No, you shower first.” Kaia turned cynical. “Are you not a strong man? You have to make sure this river is safe before women take a shower.”

Kala shook her head with a hand that stroked her chest. “Alright, if there is danger shout out loud. And don't get too far from here.”

“Mhm.” Then the girl went back into the forest.

He took a deep breath before entering the pool.

The cold water cooled him. Washing his already sticky body with demonic blood. Kala also took off his robe as he returned to the surface, he washed all his clothes on a large rock.

Kala just washed his robe by rubbing the cloth onto the stone. That way, the blood stains disappear even though it takes more time and energy. For Kala, energy is not a problem.

After he felt all the clothes were free of blood, Kala again tweeted to bring Alang. Although very lazy, Alang came.

“Alang, you help me dry these clothes. I can't wait until the sun dries this.”

Kala said very confidently as if she was covered in silk clothes, even though she was not wearing clothes in front of Alang. And fortunately, Alang does not care much about the condition of Kala who is naked now, after all he is a bird that is always naked!

Alang exhaled his hot breath. If Alang dries Kala's clothes with fire, then it's too risky to do. Alang breaths are hot enough to dry clothes much faster than drying them out in the hot sun.

Kala chose to splash himself into the pool under the waterfall. Freshness like this has long been felt, and certainly he missed it. Although this water is very cold for ordinary people, especially in the cold morning, I don't know what makes Kala so durable inside without wearing the slightest prana!

He's nuts!

Kala's head occasionally poked out to take in air, but most of his time was spent inside the pond.

After a long time in the water, he was found a pretty crazy idea again.

Pranors who are experts in self-easing science usually practice under the waterfall all day. Especially in people who master the Subtlety of the Breath like Maheswari, they always practice with the pressure of the waterfall.

The waterfall in front of Kala is not big, but it is also not small. With a guy like this, Kala sure is very fitting for him.

Swim and climb the rock that is flanked by waterfalls. However, Kala received such a strong pressure from the water that it fell down. He tried again and the result was the same again.

In addition to the pressure from the heavy waterfall, the stone is also overgrown with a little wet moss. At first, Kala did think this would not be as easy as he thought, but not his estimation did not reach this level.

However, this is not the name if you give up easily. He kept trying repeatedly. He could only sit on the stone after his hands bled.

His sitting position was attempted for the lotus position. However, the position of the precepts continues to waver and Kala's shoulders continue to be overwritten by the burden. In the end, he fell back with more pain.

“Wuh! It was exciting, but I don't have much time.”

Actually, he wanted to practice more under the waterfall. However, he is worried about Kaia's safety if she is left behind even longer. Kala immediately swam to the edge.

The clothes were almost dry, not completely dry but Kala just wore them. Alang snorted dejectedly before darting upwards, perched again at the top of the waterfall enjoying the breeze.

“Well, this is fitting.” Yep. Kala likes clothes that are half dry because the freshness will last longer.

Kala took a deep breath. Draining the prana on his chest, then exclaiming loudly, “I'm done!”

Moments later, Kaia appeared from within the forest with some ginger in her hand. Kala invited Kaia to take a shower and wanted to leave the location.

But Kaia held him back. “Do you have any more clothes?”

“I don't have, the clothes you're wearing now belong to the village chief's daughter.” Kala waited for a moment and just left after not getting an answer.

With a quick step, Kala entered the forest even though it was not too far from the location. He had no intention of peeking at all even though he could do that. He chose to sit on a weathered tree. Because there is no Alang, Kala was forced to use fire stones to light the pipe even for a little while.

It sucks the pipe slowly. Enjoying the sweetness and prana that he obtained.

Kala pondered for a moment. He did not know what he would do if he arrived at Mandataran.

According to the conversation with his teacher, many ancient grave sites and temples in which save valuable knowledge. Kala decided to search the ancient tomb sites and train with Kaia if possible.

The pipe also carries away the memories of a sad past. When you realize, the present means more than the past.

What he is confused about is .....

Am I a history or a future?

Kala shook his head when he realized he was already dissolved with pipe smoke.

Time also seemed to pass very quickly because Kala felt the most comfortable point during the past week. Who would have thought that Kaia who bathed longer than Maheswari felt like a duck bath for Kala?

Kala's ears caught something terrible from a distance.

Noisiness in the water. What makes the water sound like this must be something big!

Kala threw the remaining bones slightly into the bushes then ran towards the waterfall where Kaia was bathing.

His face was extremely anxious thinking about the worst possible thing that had happened. However, Kala had always hoped that whatever happened Alang would provide the first rescue.

The closer to the location, the more the sound of a storm of water is heard. Kala also hears the screams of a girl he strongly believes is Kaia.

The branches and leaves that prevent it are just wiped away until he stepped on small river stones, it means he was already in the waterfall area.

He stared at the head of the huge crocodile that was poking out from the surface of the pond. The head was huge and almost filled the entire pool. His larger body must have been below the surface of the water.

Shit, this is a spirit crocodile's nest!
