And here's where Max's strength shines the most at the MMA class.

Chapter 13: Strength in Training

3:00 pm

Both Jason and Max were ready for training at the MMA training room and before long, both tigers came in the ring together and Jason stood on one side while Max stands at another, ready to show each other how strong they can be and Jason stared at Max with much serious conviction while Max looks at him straight in the eye with no intention of backing down. Jason looks at him and said, "Go for it."

Right away, Max immediately charges at Jason head-on, but Jason quickly ducked and dodged every single move Max has made and continued to spar with the white tiger as hard as he could, but Jason kept going at him and he reacted very swiftly by pinning Max down and wrestling him down to the ground, but Max came swinging and wrestled him down to the ground as well with his quick moves and fast agility.

Jason was amazed by how he reacted quickly and went on the defense and he's trying to keep up with the little cub and he got up, dusted himself off and continued sparring with each other and they combined elements of kung-fu and MMA together and Max was more determined than ever to go above the extra mile with his training, but not too high maintenance.

"Come on, Max. Take me on." Jason said.

"I'll do more than that." Max said, with a smirk.

Max immediately did a backflip and grabbed Jason by the wrist and flipped him multiple times, but Jason made a huge comeback by flipping him to the wall, but Max landed on his feet to the wall instead...which also surprised Jason the most and as Max ran towards the ceiling, he grabbed onto the chandeliers, swung around and he did an extraordinary free-fall by doing a backflip in the air and landed on top of Jason, thereby putting him in a flipmode hold.

Jason was ecstatic by how Max attempted that move and he stood up and chuckled softly at this and said, "Amazing."

"Thanks." Max replied.

"I think you got me beat, man. I don't know how you managed to do those moves as young as you are." Jason replied.

Max lets out an innocent giggle and Jason chuckled softly at that and he does see a whole lot of potential in Max and he said, "All right...now that we got the sparring out of the way, let's focus on aiming at your opponent. The best way to take aim at them is to find out their weak spots."

"How do you do that?" asked Max.

"It's very simple. Just look directly into your opponent and if he lets his guard down a little bit, that's where you have to attack." Jason added.

Max nodded his head and Jason brought in a little example for this subject and brought in a Tigress training dummy and that was pretty much easier for him to focus on and he's deeply excited for the usage of that dummy version of Tigress and Jason could tell that he's getting excited about that and he said, "I'm guessing you like this dummy?"

"Uh-huh." Max replied.

"Let's see how fast you can go." Jason said.

Max nodded his head and immediately attacked the living crap out of the Tigress dummy and every single act of insanity that he's gone through with her gets to be released by taking it out on the dummy and he used every single amount of kung-fu/MMA training hybrid to use and from the looks of things, Jason was amazed by Max's quick wit, fast moves, agility and everything else under the sun and there was no shortage of being impressed whatsoever.

The biggest factor of that is watching Max reach his maximum potential and he did an aerial air kick, which sent the dummy flying across the room and finally Max climbed onto the ring, did a backflip and re-kicked it again and this time...it was hurtling through the ground and landed on the wall hard.

Jason witnessed that happening and once Max got down on the ground, he asked, "How'd I do?"

Jason was still awestruck and speechless after witnessing that and he couldn't even speak or move for that matter because he's never seen anything like that before or since and he looked at Max for a second and wondered how all of that came out of such a little cub and he said, "I'm so honored to have you as my student, man."

"Thanks!" Max replied, happily.

The two ended up giving each other a fist bump and they continued on training with each other, unaware that Tigress was standing through the window, looking furious and heavily envious that he's still training with Jason and just felt like he's a threat regarding the fact that he's training him and the more she thought about Max not being at the Jade Palace, the more furious she became...even when he has been present.

"You're gonna regret this...both of you." Tigress growled.

Uh-oh...Tigress' envy is going out of control? What's gonna happen next?
