At the Walt family base, the air frequently vibrates with a strange, violent tremor. This sudden oscillation is followed by a thunderous roar that echoes through the distant sky like a powerful lightning strike. It shakes the ground beneath their feet and makes the windows rattle, yet everyone in the settlement has grown completely accustomed to it. To the twelve wives and the many children of various ages, these booming sounds are simply a reminder of their patriarch's intense training sessions—a background noise to their daily lives.
At this very moment, Dan is several kilometers away from the main base, suspended hundreds of meters in the air above the dense canopy. He is practicing a highly advanced and complex kata: a calculated sequence of strikes using every part of his formidable body. Swift jabs, devastating hooks, knee strikes, and elbow thrusts follow one another in a blur of motion. With every single movement, he applies the Gravity Fist.
The sheer speed of his execution makes his limbs invisible to the naked eye. This combination of velocity and the destructive nature of the Gravity Fist creates a terrifying synergy. Each strike compresses the air so violently that it creates miniature atmospheric quakes, sending out shockwaves that travel for miles. This is precisely why Dan chose the high altitude for this specific regimen.
On the ground, the results of the Gravity Fist are catastrophic. Even a casual punch or kick enhanced by this technique can uproot massive mountains, grinding stone into fine dust and carving craters kilometers deep into the earth's crust. While Dan accepts that his path to power requires some environmental collateral damage, he prefers not to permanently disfigure the lush forests surrounding his home. Training in the open sky limits the destruction to mere sonic booms and air pressure, sparing the landscape from total annihilation.
Dan maintains his focus with iron discipline, strike after strike, movement after movement. He can feel his mastery sharpening with every session—the chakra condensation is becoming faster, and the transition between impact points is growing more fluid and natural.
After finishing his planned sets, Dan comes to a halt, standing effortlessly in the void. Despite the monumental exertion, his breathing is steady and his body shows no sign of fatigue, a testament to the sheer vitality granted by his seals. As he stands in the silent sky, he feels a surge of quiet confidence. He is now on the very cusp of the ultimate stage: the ability to trigger the Gravity Fist instinctively with every movement, without a moment of conscious preparation.
This realization—that he is only steps away from perfecting a technique that took years of agonizing labor to develop—fills him with deep satisfaction. He has already decided that once this mastery is complete, he will finally apply the next enhanced tier of the Vitality Seal to himself.
Taking a moment to appreciate the view from his high vantage point, Dan looks out over the endless green horizon and the distant peaks. After this brief reflection, he begins a slow, controlled descent, stepping through the air as if on solid stairs.
He plans to spend the evening with his children, making a conscious effort to balance his pursuit of power with family life. Afterward, he will return to his lab to review his notes on the improved Vitality Seal one last time, ensuring every detail is etched into his mind. As his feet lightly touch the soil, Dan walks toward his base, filled with a calm, unshakable certainty in his path.
