The sun's rays were lost between the branches of Log-a-rhythm. As they tried to break free, they seed to create green and golden light bridges. As Priam looked at these arcs of shimring light, he thought how beautiful this world was. He had just co out of the tree and was eager to try his new technique.
He smiled as he looked at the skill againhis skill.
[Kinetic Control] - Absorb, use, channel. Control. Kinetic energy obeys you. Motion energy is more than you think. Massive potential for evolution.

He began by stretching. Before using his new technique, Priam wanted to discover the limits of his body. Using a technique without understanding it was pretty dangerous. If he wanted to understand his new skill, it had to be the only new factor. If there were another unknown factor - in this case, the power of his body - he would not know the exact limits of [Kinetic Control].
Moreover, Priam was interested in learning his characteristics and their relation with his body. The numbers given by the System were real, but what did they really an?
He continued with physical exercises, which were useful for loosening his body. Once he was ward up, Priam began to asure his performance. First, he wanted to know exactly how many ters he could jump. After drawing a line in the grass, he gained montum and jumped. He felt his muscles tense and give their maximum. His jump was impressive. As he landed, he was exultant. This new world had good sides. Calculating that one of his steps was one ter long, he estimated his jumping distance to be about ten ters. The old world record was 8.95 ters.
"Even without jumping technique, I beat the world record by a wide margin..."
Given Priam's physical characteristics, this was normal. The System's numbers made him about three tis stronger, agile, dexterous, and sharper than an ordinary man. He was sure he could jump even further by improving his jumping technique.

Priam continued to train. He sweated push-ups, pull-ups, and squats for almost an hour to test his new limits. During this ti, he noticed that grass had replaced the charred ground around his tree overnight. He felt that soon all traces of the tribulation would be erased by nature. Log-a-rhythm gave off an aura of growth that pleased nature. I will soon live in a little piece of paradise... Lost in the middle of hell.
Once ward up, Priam walked to a tree at the edge of the clearing. He positioned himself to strike the trunk of the tree with his palm. He didn't want to break his bones with a bad wooden blow. He struck.
"Um!"
Strangely, Priam did not feel much. Neither did the tree, if he were to be honest. His dream of breaking trees in half with the strength of his hands alone had yet to be achieved.
His Constitution was more important than his Strength, and he understood that he was unlikely to be hurt by such actions. He got back into position and struck again using [Kinetic Control].
Using his skill was natural and strange at the sa ti. He didn't feel like he was moving mana, feeling Qi, or even communicating with the Dao. His skill was like a new limb. A phantom arm that he finally rembered. He could use it naturally, almost without thinking about it... But it would take a lot of practice to master it. Easy to learn, hard to master.
This ti he felt as if his strength had vanished in a fraction of a second. In the corner of his mind, he visualized a star of light that contained energy. Instinctively, he knew releasing that energy for the sa kind of strike would be easier. He could also use it to jump higher, but he felt that it would be less obvious and instinctive and that he would have to practice before attempting that.
In short, the energy absorbed from one punch was more easily used in another punch than in a kick.
Priam got into position for the third ti. He sent his strike while releasing the energy he had stored. His strike was much faster.
Ouch! The pain made him wince. When he opened his eyes, he saw the tree shaking a little. The grimace turned into a smile. His striking force was far superior. The technique was useful!
"It's still early. I need to get to know her as well as I can. Then I can explore the surrounding area."
Priam got back into position. Despite the heat, he was confident. He could finally see his progress and a solution to his problems. He struck again. Again and again.
