Four days later in the Black Snake Forest, in a unnamed river. A young man was at the river waist deep in the water, with rocks tied to his legs. He was trying to run in the river, his expression revealing how hard it was do so. The young man was obviously Noah, and that was his speed training. Noah didn"t found any better option than this one, too bad his sect don"t had magical training rooms with formations like he had seen in some novels.

He got out of the water, sat down with his back in a rock and untied the ones in his legs. Noah gave a sigh of relief after all the training, wanting to sleep there. He slapped himself in the face,"What kind of idiot sleeps near a river in the middle of a dangerous forest". This river was a source of water after all, and even tough there were a lot more sources in this forest, it was almost certain that some animal would come here to drink water.
He stood up and shook his head hard, trying to make his tiredness go away. When he started running back to the sect, he had a pleasant surprise. His body was light as a feather, and he felt running was very easy. It was like he had lived in a planet with high gravity and got into one with low gravity. This feeling happens because Noah body got accustomed to running inside the water, and his muscles were beginning to adapt to it too. Compared to running with rocks tied to his legs in the water, running in the ground with nothing was obviously easier.
Getting back to the sect without dangerous encounters was a piece of cake for him, with all the stealth techniques he had. Once back to his cave, Noah had a good night sleep. Six hours later, he woke up drowsily.
"Sleeping only six hours is a pain..." Thought Noah. In reality, sleeping six hours was more than enough for him with his current body, but he just liked to sleep. Too bad he can"t afford to waste time with the tournament approaching, if he don"t gets strong fast who knows what would happen, after all the protagonist is in the sect. Noah headed out to the usual place in the forest, thinking about things along the way.
"This speed is enough for now, even if I train myself really hard till the tournament time, I will only be able to increase it slightly. I guess it"s time to train that." Noah made a decision.
What Noah was talking about is manipulation of the fight. No matter how fast you are, if you attack only at a fixed speed, you become predictable,and predictable means beatable. He may be able to crush someone weaker than him always attacking at full speed and power, but that would end up badly against someone strong as him.
What he wants to do is pratice his martial techniques in a variety of speeds and power. So in the middle of a fight, when the opponent thinks that is his fastest speed, he will suddenly get two times faster and catch them off guard, possibly ending the fight right there.
Noah goal was to be a expert at manipulating the fight, being able to set rhythms, and break rhythms. He wanted to fight in a clever and tricky way, hypnotizing his opponents into doing what he wants them to do.
