Kshatriya

In the very center of the Dahai, Karna stood on a simple bamboo raft, barely large enough for him to stand upright. He closed his eyes and let himself drift on the Dahai.

In an instant, the once tranquil Dahai became turbulent, and the waves transformed into sharp blades that slashed towards Karna. He took a step forward, and the bamboo raft, under his control, moved like a nimble fish, dodging these water blades.

An hour later, Karna emerged from the water blades, but the training was far from over. The water transformed into fists, hammers, axes... and flew towards Karna.

The attacks were incredibly dense and impossible to dodge. Karna summoned his Golden Armor, and with each attack landing on him, he gritted his teeth and absorbed the force.

During this process, it is not only necessary to maintain the release of force, but also to control the flow and volume of internal energy. If the force is released blindly, the bamboo raft beneath one's feet will shatter instantly.

Bang, bang, bang! Karna was constantly being hit. The bamboo raft beneath his feet was constantly spewing jets of steam, creating huge waves on the sea. He was soaked to the bone, and the bamboo raft beneath his feet creaked and howled.

"Hang in there a little longer, buddy."

Karna lowered his head and spoke, it was unclear whether he was talking to the bamboo raft or to himself. The next moment, a whooshing sound came, and an enormous blade formed from seawater flew towards him like a boomerang.

Karna gritted his teeth, neither dodging nor flinching, letting the blade strike him. The powerful weight of the blade sent him flying, and he crashed heavily onto the sea.

It was as if a bomb had fallen into the sea, causing a Dahai that brought rain to the entire shoreline.

From afar, Rama with the Axe, watched this scene. Although Karna was not his disciple, he was still eager to see what this young man could accomplish. At the same time, if Bai Mo went too far, he would not hesitate to rush down to save him.

Teachers always like good students, even if those students aren't their own.

Amidst the torrential rain, a laugh rang out. Karna, still conscious, lay sprawled on the bamboo raft that looked as if it would fall apart at any moment, laughing heartily in the downpour.

"Finally, finally I succeeded! Hahaha, Master, does this mean I've completed this training?"

"Now that the second section is complete, it's no longer an inanimate object. Analyze its power flow carefully."

Bai Mo's emotionless words rang out, and in the next instant, the seawater transformed into a rhinoceros, created by the power of 600,000 horses, charging directly towards Karna with a terrifying momentum. Karna looked at the rhinoceros, and his expression immediately froze.

Thump~

Rama with the Axe, watched as Karna was tossed high into the air and then fell back down.

When Bai Mo manipulated the waves to bring Karna back, he reached out and pulled Karna up, then encouraged him, "Very good, it's already quite impressive to have made this much progress in three months."

Let's take a short break.

However, Karna shook his head, took a big gulp of water, and exhaled deeply, saying, "No, I can continue. I was just startled."

Then, he picked up another bamboo raft and turned to walk towards the Dahai.

Seeing Karna's state, Bai Mo shook his head with a smile, while the voice of Rama with the Axe, came from the side:

"See? I told you so. This is a real piece of gold. It's a pity I swore to only teach Brahmins, otherwise I wouldn't have entrusted such a good student to you."

Although the son of Sudor was of lowly status, his willpower was even stronger, like that of wild grass.

At this moment, Karna could not hear the two voices. Then Bai Mo said to Rama with the Axe, "He is the son of the charioteer, but his identity is not that of Sudo. Karna, in law, is a Kshatriya."

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Rama with the Axe widened his eyes. He looked at Karna, who was fighting against the giant serpent that the waves had transformed into, and his tone was full of doubt.

"Kshatriya? How could the son of a prince become the son of Sudatta?"

"That's where things get interesting."

Seeing that Rama with the Axe, was not angry after learning Karna's true social class, he explained Karna's life and how Kunti had abandoned him.

"Even wild animals wouldn't abandon their cubs, how could there be such a wicked mother in the world?"

Upon hearing Rama with the Axe's words, Bai Mo slapped himself across the face, thinking to himself that this guy really was outspoken.

"It wasn't exactly malicious... just a bit foolish."

The Rama with the Axe shook his head. "This act is vicious; those of lower races with talent will suffer more than those without."

His gaze was fixed on Karna in the distance, lost in thought. He then turned to Bai Mo and asked, "When do you plan to teach him archery? I'm quite curious to see just how amazing your archery skills are."

"I won't."

Bai Mo's words made Rama with the Axe's eyes widen again. Bai Mo stretched and said, "Archery is useless to me. At most... I can shoot a Mist Arrow and then just rush over and throw a punch."

Upon hearing Bai Mo's explanation, the Rama with the Axe's lips twitched. He thought about the scene for a moment, then quickly shook his head to banish it from his mind.

"That won't do. In the outside world, archers are still considered the highest-ranking warriors, and I reckon this kid is really envious of archery skills. He brought a bow with him when he came to become an apprentice."

How about this, I'll teach you archery as part of a deal?

Although Rama with the Axe looked like a dignified old man, he was actually quite quick-witted after living for so many years. He immediately came up with a way to teach Karna without breaking his vow.

Bai Mo then feigned ignorance and asked, "Are you willing to teach Karna, this Kshatriya?"

"Heh, what I oppose is the Kshatriyas' cruelty, but this lad will surely become a benevolent and outstanding king or warrior in your hands. Besides, this is just a transaction; I haven't taught Karna any skills, that's your business."

The Rama with the Axe laughed, but his smile quickly vanished, and he said in a low voice:

"I have killed countless Kshatriyas in my life, my blood has filled five great lakes, but in the end, the world is still ruled by Kshatriyas as kings, and those ruling Kshatriyas are still brutal."

Therefore, in order to realize my vision...

Rama with the Axe, wielding his axe, slammed it into the ground. Looking at the familiar weapon, he sighed and said, "My vision cannot be realized with the axe and bow in my hand."
