Wen-Li sat in her small office in her small gym. The market for her brand of martial arts training had dried up a long time ago and she mostly maintained her kung-fu gym as her own home now and that was fine in her view. She had trained a number of talented men and women who went off to travel the country or settle down in their own small businesses and communities, now secure in their knowledge that they could defend themselves.
But as Wen-Li raised a tea cup to her lips, smiling as she reminisced on the memories she had at the gym, she saw ripples forming in the liquid. Could it be an earthquake? It had been years since a quake made it to this part of the countryside. The ripples were appearing more rapidly and Wen-Li could hear a stomping sound of some sort. Footsteps. A gang? No, with this much noise, it would have to be an army.
Grabbing a blade hanging on the wall, Wen-Li darted out of her office and steadied herself in front of the main door. If she could get a drop on the intruders, she would have a chance on her own, at least until help arrived. Then the door opened and Wen-Li could see who was coming to the gym.
"Hello!" a young woman said with a sunny voice. Wen-Li was a highly trained martial artist but even she dropped her guard when she saw her guest. The woman could not have been more than a few years past 20 and had the good looks youth provides, enough to easily call her a beauty. Her hair was long and black, hanging all the way down to her hips, and she had full, blossom-pink lips that were curled into an eager smile. But it wasn't the young woman's face that shocked Wen-Li. It was her belly.
Sticking out far past the young woman's beige shirt was a round, firm belly that went out for several feet. The entire belly was a perfect sphere, save for where it stuck out of the woman and the dimpled, inverted belly button on the front. Even if the woman stretched her arms all the way forward, she still came up more than a foot short of reaching the front of her belly to feel its long curvature. Despite her size, the young woman's belly didn't show a single stretch mark. In fact, her sandy skin glowed with even more sheen and clarity on her belly than on her face, which also had a warm tinge to it.
"H-hello," Wen-Li said, clearing her throat as she looked her guest up and down.
"This is the home of the Blue Forest Style school, right?" the woman said, looking around. "Wow, I've never been inside a martial arts gym before. It's big!"
It was not that big compared to many more established schools but Wen-Li wasn't too focused on that detail now. "Yes, this is the place. May I help y-?"
Before Wen-Li could fully complete her sentence, the woman hurried over with surprising speed given her belly size. With every step, it jiggled and wobbled around and her wide hips swayed back and forth. "Then you must be Master Wen-Li!"
"No one calls me 'master' anymore," Wen-Li sighed. "May I help you?"
The young woman dropped down to her knees and pressed her hands together. "Please, take me as your student and teach me kung-fu! I'll do whatever it takes!"
Wen-Li couldn't believe what she was hearing. This...mountain of a woman wanted to learn kung-fu? In her condition? "Are you sure that's such a good idea?"
"Absolutely! I need to learn and I've heard all about you. You're the perfect teacher for me!" The young woman bowed her head. "My name is Sun."
"Sun? Sun what?" Wen-Li asked.
"Nothing else. Just Sun," she said, raising her head. "I...can't really pay you but I'm really good at cooking and cleaning and I can help you lift wood and stuff."
"I don't think I'm going to have you lifting any wood," Wen-Li said with a confused chuckle.
"Okay but I can do lots of other things!" Sun said, beginning to raise one leg before groaning. "Oof...a little help please? I didn't think through how hard standing up would be in this position."
Rolling her eyes, Wen-Li took Sun's arm and pulled the young woman to her feet. She couldn't believe how much she weighed! "Okay, let's start from the beginning. Why do you want to learn Blue Forest Style?"
"Because it's the best balance of attack and defense – striking while blocking and blocking while striking – plus it's a modern style so it's practical and-"
"No, not what I meant," Wen-Li said, gripping the bridge of her nose and sighing. "Why do you want to learn?"
"Oh...you mean because of the...tummy, right?" Sun said, patting her huge belly. Wen-Li nodded. "Okay so...I'm part of a small farming community but I've always wanted to be like you! An amazing kung-fu master who can inspire women all over the kingdom! But as I was leaving my community, I got a little antsy and spent the night with this guy and...now I'm pregnant."
Wen-Li let out a little sigh of relief. Sure, Sun was preposterously pregnant but at least it was a relatively normal medical condition. If it had been something else, Wen-Li would have been seriously unsettled.
"So now I kind of have to fight the clock and become a master before these little fellas are born," Sun said, prodding her pregnant belly with one finger.
"That's going to be tricky," Wen-Li sighed, scratching her head. "Becoming a master in a few short weeks."
"Oh no, longer than that," Sun said. "Eight months." Wen-Li's dropped her sword to the ground and Sun giggled, patting the side of her belly. "I met a nice old lady on my journey here who had some medical experience. She said it's usually nine or ten months and we figured I'm a month along."
Wen-Li could not believe what she was hearing. Obviously, she had never seen a pregnant woman with a belly as large as Sun's and hadn't even heard rumors about such a thing. But to think that she was only a month along? Women never even started showing that early on...so how many babies was Sun carrying? How big would she get?
"Sorry, but I don't take students anymore," Wen-Li said, stepping away.
"But the sign on the gym is still up," Sun said, her perky eyebrows now drooping. "And I'll be really good, I promise!"
"I can't make someone a master in less than a year and I wouldn't even know how to train someone like...like you," Wen-Li said, pointing to Sun's belly. "Go home, I'm sorry."
As Wen-Li turned her back, she heard the sound of coins clattering on the floor. She looked and saw Sun dumping out a satchel of coins onto the floor of the gym, though there weren't very many. "That's all the money I have. Please, master, I beg you!" Sun bowed her head again but peeked one eye out. "And don't make me get back down on the floor. It takes too long."
Wen-Li sighed and walked over, putting her hands on Sun's shoulders. "Fine." Sun squealed and gave Wen-Li a powerful hug, her belly knocking against the middle-aged master. "It's important to teach everyone self defense. I may not make you a master but I'll let you take care of your...babies."
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" Sun said, moving around excitedly. "I can't wait!" She waddled around the gym, studying posters and weapons until she found a wooden bench. "Ooh, is this where you practice breaking boards?"
"I don't practice breaking boards. The Blue Forest Style is focused on-" As Wen-Li spoke, Sun let out a cry and thrust her hand down. Not only did she chop right through the wood, but she crushed the stone pedestal supporting the bench. "...on form and...technique..." Wen-Li walked over, inspecting what Sun destroyed with one hand. "How did you do that?"
"Hmm?" Sun said, shaking the rubble off of her hand. "I told you, for a lot of my life, I worked on farms and I did a lot of the manual labor. It made me pretty strong, huh?"
Wen-Li hesitated before she spoke, still stunned from what she was seeing. It took a newcomer a long time before they developed the body or the discipline needed to break wood with their bare hands and Sun managed to punch through solid stone with a beginner's strike. If she instilled martial arts into her...how strong would she get. "Let's...just start with some basics," Wen-Li said, beckoning Sun to join her in the center of the gym. "Can you punch?"
Sun shrugged and pulled one arm back and threw a sloppy punch. It extended out in the air but her belly extended even farther. "Like that?"
"This is going to be a problem," Wen-Li said, patting Sun on the stomach.
"That tickles!" Sun giggled, shifting in place.
"For now, we'll focus on form," Wen-Li said, standing beside Sun and slowly outstretching her arms. "Match my movements." Sun squealed and followed suit, her arms and legs shaking. "Concentrate."
"Sorry, sorry! This is just so exciting!" Sun laughed as she followed Wen-Li's form for another hour or so. Their exercises were interrupted when another sound of thunderous footsteps was heard outside the door and Wen-Li stood up to face them.
"Damn...I heard the new governor was checking gyms but I thought I'd be passed by," Wen-Li cursed quietly. The door opened to reveal several soldiers, with one in particular wearing finer armor on his body and a smug smile on his face.
"A little small but this could make a fine barrack and weapons depot," he said, approaching Wen-Li. "This gym is hereby confiscated under the governor's authority."
"Confiscated? For what reason?" Wen-Li asked.
"You don't meet the regulations for martial arts gyms. The governor is kind enough to allow you people to study self-defense but there are some limits to his generosity." He brushed his light beard and scoffed. "This hardly meets the criteria for a gym. You don't even have students."
"I'm a student," Sun said loudly. Wen-Li winced, fearing her pregnant pupil would only make things worse.
"You?" he said with a barking laugh. "How can you be a martial artist?"
"Not only that but I'm going to become a grandmaster!" Sun bellowed. Wen-Li groaned again, especially since Sun added the "grand-" to her title.
"Very well. If you're a student here, you should be able to at least spar with me," the official cackled, removing his cape and helmet and lifting his arms toward Sun.
"Sun, stand down," Wen-Li whispered.
"No can do. I have to protect my school's honor," Sun said.
"You've been here less than a day," Wen-Li sighed but it was too late. The official darted toward Sun and threw a few chops. However, her belly kept him far enough away that she could dodge. By the same token, it made her too far away for her thrusts and kicks, following the forms Wen-Li had taught her. The master was actually impressed with how well she had learned the forms but it just wasn't fighting meant for a pregnant woman, especially not one Sun's size.
"This is a farce!" the official laughed, leaping toward Sun. He kicked her in the knee, making her grunt in pain. Another kick and her leg went weak but she roped his arm in the process. Both fell down, with Sun's belly landing down on the official. Hard. He coughed and groaned when it all hit. "Get off of me! You're crushing me!"
"Leave the school alone!" Sun screamed.
"Fine, fine, you can stay open! Just get off of me!" he yelled again.
"Master? A little help?" Sun said. Wen-Li hurried over and rolled Sun off of the official as he scrambled to safety. His armor was dented and broken and he had a hard time breathing.
"W-we don't want any trouble," the official managed to choke out. "The governor will stay away from your school."
"Good," Wen-Li said with a nod. "You can all show yourselves out."
As the soldiers ran away, Sun looked to Wen-Li with a big smile. "We did it! We protected the gym!"
"I guess we did," Wen-Li said slowly, still confused by the whole event.
"So I can stay here as a student?" Sun asked. Wen-Li saw the excitement in her almond eyes and wondered just what other surprises this girl had inside her.
"I suppose so," Wen-Li said. "But for disregarding my orders, you have to take a punishment. Clean the entire gym – sweep every board, sort every paper. And clean up that broken bench while you're at it." Sun jumped to attention and hurried for the broom as Wen-Li chuckled. She'd forgotten but being a teacher had its benefits.
Wen-Li tapped out her bills on an abacus. Taking in a new student to her martial arts gym had a number of benefits. Chores and cleaning were now done without her dividing her time. Her new students had defeated an imperial officer so well that government officials never asked her for bribes or taxes anymore. And the notoriety of Wen-Li's gym was greatly boosted and word had spread around the surrounding lands.
Of course, seeing how her student was an absent-minded pregnant woman with a belly the size of an ox, all of these benefits came with some caveats. Sun was strong but she was not always the fastest woman so cleaning and organizing the gym always took time. Not to mention how Sun's enormous round stomach always knocked things over and broke the occasional wall. And on several occasions, Sun missed large patches of the gym floor when she was sweeping because she could hardly see anything below her.
And sure, Sun had repelled the imperial soldiers but her strength was a double-edged sword. Wen-Li was constantly in fear that her next bit of martial arts training would result in Sun accidentally breaking her teacher's bones or knocking the entire building down with one blow. Wen-Li's only hope was that, by giving Sun the structure of Blue Forest Style, her monstrous strength could be managed.
And while people were finally talking about Wen-Li's gym again, she was not getting any new students or investors. Everyone was terrified of Sun, not just for her raw power, but because of how she looked. When she first arrived at the gym, her pregnant belly was bigger than the rest of her body. It was still smooth and even had a maternal glow but it still unsettled local villagers. Some neighborhood children even spread rumors that she wasn't pregnant but had been eating people whole.
On top of all that, in the two months since Wen-Li had been teaching Sun, her pregnancy had only gotten bigger. Sun's belly now entered the room nearly 30 seconds before the rest of her, thanks to her slow and clumsy waddling. All that extra surface area meant Sun's cravings were as strong as her fists, which is why Wen-Li's abacus told her that her gym was losing money.
"Master!" Sun whistled, waddling over to the table where Wen-Li sat. "I have a great way for our gym to get more attention!"
As Sun hurried over, her leg tripped against a stool and she dipped forward fast. Sucking in a deep breath, Sun lifted her tripping leg and did a quick kick into the ground. It broke the wood floor but her fast move anchored her body in place so she didn't fall down. Unfortunately, she did all this after her belly smashed through Wen-Li's table and broke her abacus. "I don't think a lack of attention is our problem," Wen-Li grumbled.
"But look, there were these flyers around town," Sun said, handing her teacher a large sheet of paper. It had stamps from various villages on it and Wen-Li could see how authentic it was. "It's a martial arts tournament! All you have to do is enter it and everyone will see how amazing you are. They'll line up just to be taught by you!"
Wen-Li read it a few times and, with a sad look, let it flutter down to the floor. "It says it's for disciples only. I have my gym registered and I'm past the age limit."
Sun's belly shook and jiggled as she frantically tried to catch the slowly falling paper before it went on the ground. "Oops, I just saw 'teacher' and 'student' and got excited! I skipped over most of it."
"When I read that part, I stopped too," Wen-Li said with a small chuckle.
"Did you skip the part about the cash prize too?"
With no hesitation, Wen-Li stomped one foot on the floor and snatched at the air with all her might. The resulting bursts of wind made the flyer zip right back into her hands. "The what now?"
Sun giggled and clapped her hands together. "Wow-ee! Master, you have to teach me that one!" Wen-Li read the sheet over again, not responding to her pupil. "So...can I enter instead?"
Wen-Li looked Sun over, seeing her student's big warm smile, her twinkling brown eyes, and her hands eagerly rubbing wide circles on her exposed belly. "With your strength...maybe you could win but you have been training for too short a time. There are martial arts schools where students are trained since they are boys and learn to kill before they become adults."
"Good, then I'll teach them a lesson," Sun said, her full, pink lips pouting as she lifted one fist. "You don't have to be mean to be strong."
The aging master laughed and scratched her chin. "Sure...let's give it a shot." She reached back down for the sheet. "When is it?"
"Today," Sun chirped. Wen-Li rushed away from her smashed table and grabbed Sun by the collar. "Whoops!" Sun giggled as she held one arm against her chest. Not only was her belly getting bigger but Sun's breasts were extremely swollen and Wen-Li's grab made her naked bosom sneak out.
Using all her stamina, Wen-Li got herself and her student to the sight of the tournament: a large trading down on the river. There were thousands of people bustling around and all of them looked at Sun and her belly with utter disbelief. Wen-Li was nervous about walking around with such an odd-looking woman but Sun couldn't have been happier.
"Wow, this place is so cool! Look at all these people! All this food!" Sun said, looking at the market with her mouth in a permanent smile. "Hi there!" she said, waving to an old woman crossing the street who looked back at her with confusion.
"Let's find that tournament," Wen-Li said, putting her arm around Sun's back and guiding her toward the center of town.
There, a large stone platform stood with a crowd gathered around. An official stood by the side, checking in scary looking men who were clearly fighters. "Name?"
"Wen-Li of the Blue Forest Style," Wen-Li said, handing her gym permit to the judge. "This is my student, Sun."
Sun had her back turned, still looking at the city in awe, and was partially obscured by the large crowds, so the official didn't see her enormous pregnant middle. "She seems kind of frail," he said. "We're not liable for any injuries she receives, you understand?"
"Glad to hear it," Wen-Li said with a knowing grin. "We won't be responsible if she breaks anyone."
Up on the stone platform, martial arts students knocked their heads, fists, and legs against one another again and again. Eventually, the judge for the tournament came out, a scroll in his hands.
"Next, from the Gongga Mountain Temple, Shu Dua," the judge said, signaling to a bald young man with toned muscles and a cold expression. "And from the Blue Forest Style," he began to say before turning and seeing the gigantic mass of smooth, round skin behind him. "Uh...um..."
"Close. It's pronounced 'Sun,'" Sun said, waddling forward. "Sorry, when I signed in, I may have not done a good job. I have sloppy handwriting."
The crowd murmured as Sun turned to Shu Dua and bowed. He held up one hand and bowed as well. "I am sorry, but I can not compete," he said as the starting bell rang out. "It is against the tenants of our school to attack one who is–"
Before he could finish his sentence, Sun had already run forward and lept into the air, turning her hips so her swinging arm could strike Shu Dua in the chest, slamming his back into the stone platform. It knocked the wind out of Shu Dua and he was immediately declared out. The audience was dead silent as Sun was declared winner and she proceeded to the next round.
No one else took Sun lightly but it didn't make much of a difference. With one strike, Sun took out her opponents. If it wasn't a shove or a stray kick, one sudden twist of her hips knocked Sun's belly against their bodies with enough force to take them out of commission. In her penultimate match, an agile fighter actually managed to get one punch of his own in but he hit Sun in the head and her skull shattered the bones in his hand.
"Master, you always said I had a hard head," Sun called out to Wen-Li after the incident, waving to her teacher. The audience turned to face Wen-Li and gossiped to themselves about her ability as a martial artist or whether Sun's pregnancy was the result of some sort of witchcraft.
"Now we are ready for our final match," the judge said, visibly trembling. "Representing the Blue Forest Style, we have Sun." Some in the audience actually clapped, growing impressed with the pregnant girl over the course of the day. "And representing the Old Fang School, Ayu."
The crowd went quiet as Ayu stepped up. She wore a cloak that may have been white or some other plain color at the beginning of the tournament but it was now dyed with patches of red. Her black hair was tied into a tight bun and she looked at Sun with a focused, piercing gaze.
"Nice to meet you," Sun said, bowing as the starting bell rang. Ayu slowly extended both arms, keeping her eyes locked on Sun. "Sorry, hugging might be kinda tricky with my tummy in the way."
"Noted," Ayu said as two chains fell down her sleeves. On one end was a weight and a curved blade was on the other. She began swinging both and they got increasingly fast.
"Hey, weapons are banned!" Wen-Li called out. The judge tried to approach Ayu to chastise her but got a cut across his face instead.
"I don't care about winning or losing. I just wanted to massacre the other so-called martial artists in the region," Ayu cackled. "I've been doing this since I was little."
"Oh, master told me about people like you!" Sun said, pointing at her opponent. "Except...did you used to be a boy? Otherwise I'm confused." Ayu let out a sickening howl and through her weapons at Sun. She managed to block or dodge them thanks to her inhuman power but she wasn't able to get close enough to actually attack.
"This is my fault," Wen-Li moaned quietly. "I let this poor girl go into the lion's den, all because I wanted some money."
"Wait, I get it!" Sun suddenly said. Her belly suddenly contracted as she sucked in a deep breath. As Ayu's weight swung closer, Sun let out a big gasp of air and swung her hand the same way Wen-Li did earlier in the day. The bursts of air stopped the chain's momentum and it clattered lax on the ground. Ayu tried to lift it again but Sun had already grabbed it and tugged hard. Ayu went flying toward her and crashed against Sun's belly like a ship against a cliffside. She collapsed, as limp as her chain.
The audience was silent. "A...and your winner," the judge said, barely able to get the words out as he trembled in fear. "Is...is..."
"It's me!" Sun said, hopping up and down with glee. "See Master? I've been watching and learning Blue Forest Style!"
Wen-Li was just as shocked as the crowd, possibly more so. In a few months, Sun had managed to learn a high-level move. How much more had she learned that Wen-Li didn't know about.
"You did great, Sun," Wen-Li finally said with a smile.
"To celebrate, can we eat at a restaurant in this city? They have so many kinds of fish I've never seen before!" Sun said, climbing down from the platform as judges checked on Ayu.
"Sure, but then let's head back to the village," Wen-Li said, patting her pupil's belly. "There are a lot of things I want to teach you."
It was incredible. Wen-Li paced around her student, watching in marvel as the young woman punched and kicked in the air with perfect accuracy and grace. In only a handful of months, her pupil had managed to complete all the training Wen-Li had to offer when it came to teaching the Blue Forest Style. There was no missed timing, no extraneous movements, and no strain in her student's strikes.
What made this all the more surprising was just what kind of student Wen-Li had been counseling for the past four months. Sun came into Wen-Li's gym as the largest pregnant women she had ever seen and her fetuses had only grown larger inside Sun since then. Wen-Li had to pace in a wide circle around Sun to avoid being hit by her enormous round belly as it swung around with each of Sun's steps. As Sun moved and went through the various stances and forms of the Blue Forest Style, her golden skin got sweaty and Sun's entire pregnant stomach glowed and glistened like polished marble.
For her demonstration of the Blue Forest's entire manual of movements, Sun was stripped down to let Wen-Li see which of her muscles she was using, particularly along her back. This revealed just how much the rest of Sun's body had grown as her pregnancy progressed. The cloth wrapping used to cover Sun's breasts nearly used up all of Wen-Li's laundry and they had to borrow from some neighbors to cinch it in place and keep Sun's naked chest from flopping out. Her cleavage was deep enough to fit two fists between her bosom, one on top of the other, and still have room to spare.
Sun's butt was getting increasingly round and firm. For a while, Wen-Li had internally compared each cheek to the melons grown at the farm in a neighboring village. But now, it was more appropriate to compare Sun's rear to a normal woman's pregnant stomach. For the day's exhibition of Sun's martial arts prowess, she had on a small bit of rope and cloth to cover herself up but it let her butt stick out essentially nude and it wiggled back and forth as Sun showed off her moves.
For her whole life as a self-defense practitioner, Wen-Li believed her own slim frame was the best for martial arts, particularly for the Blue Forest Style, but Sun's accomplishments made her reassess. Not only was Sun pulling off all of the moves with expert precision, but her detailed back suggested her heavy chest may be toning her strongest muscles and her quick moves appeared to be aided by the use of her large butt as a rudder. Still, Wen-Li wasn't so sure how Sun's belly helped her out. It had surpassed the size of the Gao family's largest ox and Sun had to awkwardly turn her body when using the wooden post dummy Wen-Li set up in an ill-fated exercise.
Finally, Sun flung her fist out in one last punch. The force and speed of the blow made the sweat on her arm and hand fly off and splash against her belly. "So," Sun said with a long exhale, turning to Wen-Li and giving her teacher a big, toothy grin. "How did I do?"
Wen-Li paused. "Very well," she said after a while. She didn't add that Sun had done impossibly well, considering she had only been a student of Wen-Li's gym for a few months. Even less than that, in fact, since Wen-Li didn't seriously try and teach Sun until after seeing her student's prowess at a martial arts tournament in a large city half a day's travel away. "Soon, you may be better than me."
Sun blushed and held her hands against her cheeks. "Oh, master, no!" Sun giggled. "You're incredible! I don't think I'll ever be as good as you but I appreciate you taking me in as your pupil." Sun stretched out and turned to Wen-Li and cupped her hands together. Just as she began to move forward, she stopped and snapped back up to a regular standing position. "Oops, almost forgot!"
"It's alright," Wen-Li said, her eyes looking at all the spots in the gym where the wood floor was recently replaced because Sun's bowing kept putting her belly through the ground. The only thing more surprising than Sun's quick adoption of martial arts was the truly monstrous strength that she came into the gym with. Well, the fact that her pregnancy was this size and she was only five months pregnant was a little more surprising.
"So, what should I do next?" Sun asked, pressing her hands into her back and waddling around the gym some. Often, as she was getting bigger, Sun would lean back to accommodate the sheer size and weight of her swollen middle and this pose made her look even larger, if that was possible. "Do you have any more chores you need me to do? Or am I ready for the next level of training?"
Wen-Li had a predicament on her hands. There was no "next level" for Sun to achieve in Blue Forest Style. There wasn't a single master around who Wen-Li thought Sun couldn't defeat now. All Wen-Li really had left was to give Sun some exercises for weight training but with Sun's natural power, it all seemed like a joke. She had seen Sun casually lift a boulder with one hand so she could reposition it and give herself some shade and this was before she had the kind of discipline the Blue Forest Style beat into her.
But...there was one step left for Sun if she was going to be an honest-to-goodness martial arts grand master. And she couldn't believe she was going to tell this young, pregnant student about it. "There is one piece of training you have to complete," Wen-Li said. "And it will be the final part of my teaching to you."
Sun gasped and hurried toward Wen-Li, knocking her belly against her teacher. Luckily, Wen-Li was used to this and was able to parry the force with hands, though it left her arms a little numb. "Master! You're leaving? H-have I offended you?" Tears started to well up in Sun's eyes. "Was it because I'm so clumsy?"
"No," Wen-Li said.
"Or because I had sex with your nephew when he visited?"
"No, not..." Wen-Li started to say. "Wait, you did?"
"Or because I kept bringing in cats and feeding them?"
"No, nothing like that," Wen-Li said with a shout before composing herself. She had come to love Sun like family but...she was a little grating on the nerves at times. "Sun, this is my last bit of training because you have completed everything else."
Sun's reddening cheeks stopped changing their hue when she heard that. "What do you mean?" she said with a sniffle.
"I've taught you everything I know. Literally, everything I know," Wen-Li sighed. "I even made up a few exercises and stances and you ended up mastering those in about a week each. You have almost everything a martial arts master needs." She didn't want to add that Sun has the making of a true kung fu legend since things were complicated enough as it was.
"Wow so...we're equals now!" Sun said, her sunny expression back as she got giddy and hopped up and down, shaking the foundation of the gym in the process. "I don't have to call you master anymore!"
"I never wanted you to call me that," Wen-Li mumbled.
"From now on, refer to me as Sun-nushi," Sun said, sticking her chin up and puffing out her chest.
"Wait, wait, wait," Wen-Li said, having her hand. She didn't expect Sun to get a superiority complex already. Imagine if she had told Sun just how powerful she actually was? "I didn't say you're a master yet. You still have one last test."
Sun blushed and fell to the floor, lying on her side so her belly stuck out, and grabbed Wen-Li's ankles. "You're right, I'm so sorry master! Please, tell me what I have to do to make up for my insolence!"
Wen-Li groaned and rubbed her temples. "Sun, please get up."
"I need a hand with that," Sun squeaked. Wen-Li helped her massive student to her feet, straining her own muscles to lift Sun's pregnant body as it approached 400 pounds. "Okay, so what is my final task, master?"
Wen-Li took a deep breath. "You need to go on a personal quest."
"Ooh, a quest," Sun purred. "Sounds like fun...who do I have to beat?"
"This is a serious, spiritual quest, Sun. You aren't being sent out to kill a dragon or fight with demons," Wen-Li said, darkening her tone.
"Well of course I'm not going to kill a dragon," Sun said, rolling her eyes.
"For centuries, to become a master of Blue Forest Style, one had to take nothing but the clothes on their back and head to our ancestral home: the thick forest the crowns the great mountain Di Tian Kong," Wen-Li said, unfurling an old map written on parchment and pointing the location out to Sun.
"Go to the mountain, got it," Sun nodded. "Then what?"
"Practice. Train. Meditate," Wen-Li said. "When you know you are done, you can return."
Sun paused and giggled, patting her enormous belly. "Uh, master? I don't know if you remember but I don't have a lot of time left. Could you give me a hint so I can speed through this?"
"No hints," Wen-Li said, shaking her head. "But I believe in you. Somehow...you are meant to go on this journey, even as you are now."
Sun took in a deep breath and looked more composed and serious than Wen-Li had ever seen her. "Okay...okay, I understand." She waddled forward and scooped Wen-Li up in her arms. "Thank you, master."
Wen-Li was about to ask her pupil to back away but Sun's hug was warm and soothing. She smiled and touched one hand to Sun's firm belly and hugged Sun back. "Good luck."
Sun gave her teacher one last squeeze before dropping her down and turning toward the door. "So just the clothes on my back then?"
"Yes but you can put your shirt back on, Sun," Wen-Li chuckled. "I mean, you're almost naked right now. You can't go on a long journey like...Sun? Sun?" Wen-Li hurried after her student but Sun was already out the door and walking down the road, belly and butt hanging out for the world to see and her breasts not far behind. "Oh...I suppose this is the way it was meant to be too."
After a few days travel, stopping in unattended farmhouses and under trees along the way, Sun made it to the mountain and the forest inside. She waddled around, admiring the natural beauty of the land, before coming to an old, dead tree. All its bark was gone, revealing only worn, white wood, and there were many names carved into the tree. Sun ran her hands against the etched names until she came to the characters for Wen-Li's name.
"That's your momma's teacher," Sun said, looking down at her belly and patting it. "You'll all get to meet her. I don't have anywhere else to live, after all, so we'll be staying in her gym!" She giggled and snatched an itch along the long curve of her belly before climbing farther up the stretch of the mountain.
Past the woods, the peak of Di Tian Kong was totally bare of any vegetation aside from some scraps of grass. From the peak, Sun could see the wide open sky, the various mountains and forests and rivers around, and even the indications of small villages hundreds of miles away. She sucked in her breath and ran her hands down her full, fertile body. Days of travel had already loosened her cloth top and she undid the final part, standing on top of the mountain stark naked and pregnant. Her belly jiggled in the wind as she went through the entire Blue Forest Style manual with precision and grace. Sweat made her nude breasts glisten and each stomp of her toned legs sent out an echo.
When she had finished, Sun was under a dark sky of glittering stars, and she let out a long exhale, feeling her energy spread from the top of her head to the base of her feet, to the tip of her inverted belly button on her enormous pregnant stomach.
"Okay," Sun said to herself, putting her hands on her wide hips. "Now what?"
When Wen-Li was a young student, she asked her teachers what it meant to be a master. One teacher who had little poetics about her said a master was someone who had achieved a level of understand and control over their kung-fu. Another told a story about a legendary fighter who defeated an entire army with their martial arts skills. But Wen-Li's third teacher, and her personal favorite, just smiled and said a true master will make themselves clear to those with open hearts and minds.
She remembered this words as she worked alone in her gym. With Sun up in the mountains training, she finally had time to repair the damage her colossal strength and impossibly large pregnant belly did to the gym. But still, Wen-Li had grown to miss Sun and always looked out the window to see if she might be waddling down the path to return.
Then, the ground began to shake. A chorus of startled birds rang out as they flew into the sky. Wen-Li steadied herself, looking around the gym to see if there was any risk of it coming down. As the tremors began to settle, she heard a familiar sigh and giggle outside her door as the curtains opened and a big, smooth belly pushed through.
Sun made her way into the gym, her maternal glow in full effect. She looked like she was a statue carved out of gold, with extra attention and polish given to her belly. Her hair fluttered in the wind and there was a calming sparkle in her dark brown eyes, plus a smile that put Wen-Li's old heart at ease.
"Master, I-"
"I know," Wen-Li sighed, holding up one hand and giving a relieved smile. "I can tell. Congratulations, Master Sun of the Blue Forest Style."
Sun squealed and rushed forward, hugging her old teacher tightly. Wen-Li braced herself to be squashed by Sun's monstrous strength but Sun was distributing her power so Wen-Li was hugged equally on all points of her body. It was still tight but not as painful as before and far more calming. Still, Sun couldn't help but smother her teacher in her engorged cleavage.
"Sun...maybe you should put some clothes on," Wen-Li said in a muffled voice. After months alone in the mountains, Sun was completely naked, showing off just how curvy pregnancy had made her.
"Oops! Sorry, I kinda got used to being nude up there," Sun giggled, looking for something to put on. Nothing really fit her anymore but she found a large blanket that at least concealed her bare breasts.
"Didn't people stare at you when you came down?" Wen-Li asked.
"No, I got bored walking back down from Di Tian Kong and I was so excited to see you that I just jumped," Sun said with a shrug.
"What...what do you mean 'jumped?'" Wen-Li said, narrowing her eyes.
"You know, jumped!" Sun said with a laugh. "I jumped from the mountain to your gym." Wen-Li now knew what that massive earthquake was a few moments ago. "Duh."
"Of course," Wen-Li sighed, never getting used to just how strong her pupil was. "And your pregnancy is still healthy?"
"I think so. They are really getting big!" Sun said, stroking her stomach in wide circles. She was one big inhale away from being unable to fit inside the gym doors and Wen-Li could hardly believe how much bigger she'd gotten since leaving months ago to train on Di Tian Kong. There were prize-winning oxen Wen-Li had seen in the village markets that were not as big as Sun's round belly. "And it's so much tighter than before but I think that's just from the training."
"I see," Wen-Li nodded. "May I...no, I can't ask that of a Blue Forest master."
"Anything for you!" Sun said with a big grin. "I owe a lot to you, Wen-Li."
"May I...touch it?" Wen-Li gulped. "I'm just so curious, I apologize."
Sun's smile melted into a look of shock, then utter glee. She rammed her stomach against her old teacher and squealed. "YesYesYesYesYesYesYes Of Course Yes!"
Wen-Li laughed and placed her palm against Sun's belly. She couldn't believe how tight it was, like a sphere made of pure steel. Wen-Li even tried to push against it but couldn't get even a millimeter of give. Then, as Wen-Li moved her hand around, she felt a twinge run across the expanse of Sun's stomach as it grew even tighter. "What was that? Was that a...a kick?"
"Hmm? Oh no, that was just a cramp," Sun said, stroking another part of her belly. "I dunno, I've been having those a lot lately. I need to walk around more."
"A cramp?" Wen-Li said with a nervous gulp. "Um, Sun? How long have you been pregnant?"
Sun held out her hands and tried to count on her fingers. After stopping and restarting a few times, she looked back at Wen-Li. "Eight months."
"Eight months...you're sure?"
"Yeah, it's been eight months since I saw a doctor who told me I'm pregnant," Sun nodded with a little smile.
Wen-Li tried to make sense of what her former student just said. "Wait...since a doctor told you?"
"Right, that's when you start counting. When the doctor says you're pregnant," Sun giggled. "How else would you know how long it's been?"
Wen-Li felt another strong cramp and began to worry. "Okay, then how long has it been since the sex you think caused the pregnancy?"
"Master!" Sun said, blushing. "That's a very personal question."
"How long?"
Sun sighed and counted on her fingers again. "Um...I think it's probably been about..." As she was thinking, there was a groaning sound from inside her belly and a torrent of fluid spilled out from between her legs, soaking the wood floor of the gym. "10 or 11 months." Sun winced and touched both hands back to her belly. "Wow, that's getting really tight."
"Oh dear...wait a moment," Wen-Li said, darting out of her door and into the surrounding village. "Anyone with any experience delivering babies, I'm going to need some help."
Lots of women and a few men raised their hands. "How many of us do you need?" one old woman asked.
Wen-Li looked at all the volunteers. "All of you."
They managed to get Sun to a pond not far from the gym. Her groans and cries of discomfort made wild animals within a two-mile radius run away as she lay in the pool of water and writhed around. Each midwife and doctor that tried to help her could only last a few minutes before being knocked away by Sun's belly or errant kicks. Only Wen-Li remained the entire time, wetting Sun's forehead and telling her soothing things.
"You can do this," Wen-Li said softly. "You are the strongest woman I know."
"This is hard," Sun whimpered, her teeth gritting together. "I-I don't thing I can do it. There's too many of them."
"Sun, listen to me," Wen-Li said, putting her arms around Sun's strong shoulders. "You are like a daughter to me. I will be right here, helping you through, but you need to do this. You need to believe in yourself."
"But it hurts...and I'm so tired," Sun said, tears starting to form in the corner of her eyes.
The first sight of Sun's tears made Wen-Li start crying large streams. "I know but think of how amazing it will be for you to be a mom and be able to teach all your babies Blue Forest Style. You will be a real master, just like me."
Sun let out a howl of pain and turned back to Wen-Li. "But I can't last that long! I can't keep them inside me! They want to come out!"
Wen-Li opened her mouth to try and give Sun more words of encouragement but stopped. "I...what do you mean 'keep them inside you?'"
A big grunt turned Sun's face red as her body doubled over. "I have to keep them in my belly for a whole year. Otherwise, when they're born, they won't be one year old and they'll be underdeveloped!"
Everyone looked at Sun with confusion and Wen-Li sighed and patted her on the back. "No...no that's not how it works."
"It's not?" Sun chirped.
"No...you need to push them out, not...pull them in," Wen-Li said.
"Oh," Sun said, clenching her muscles and looking down at her belly. The closest midwife looked into the water and cupped the head of one of Sun's babies as she pushed it out. In no time, there was a crying baby in her arms and Sun was looking back at it in shock. "W-wow...that was a lot easier."
"You did it," Wen-Li said with a sniffle. "You're a mom."
"And you're a grandma!" Sun giggled. Wen-Li laughed too, taking it as a compliment. "Alright, can't stop now. Time to find out how many babies are inside me."
One year later, Wen-Li sat at a small table while she watched Sun teaching her class. The Blue Forest Style gym was bustling with new students since Sun's exhibition match while she was pregnant and crushed all her opponents. She also modified her curriculum for different types of students and today, she was training all pregnant women with a style she'd developed specifically for women with big bellies. Well, not as big as hers was, but still.
While the young women moved through the movements Sun showed them, letting their round stomachs bounce around in the air, Sun smiled and gave them words of encouragement. Without her pregnant belly, her stomach was now flat and toned, with a clear set of eight-pack abs. Her breasts and butt lost a little bit of volume but were still the size of melons served at the emperor's wedding.
"Okay, now try some light sparring," Sun said to her students. They lined up and the first two put pads on their hands and over their bellies as they began to trade blows and practice what Sun had taught them. Meanwhile, Sun sat with Wen-Li and let out a long sigh. "Teaching sure is hard. I don't know how you ever trained me."
"Neither do I, some days," Wen-Li chuckled as she felt a tug on the hem of her dress. She turned to see one of Sun's daughters crawling on the floor and exploring. "Hello there," she said, lifting the toddler up and sitting her on her lap. "Help me with the names."
"That's Wu-May," Sun said, pouting. "If you're their grandma, you should know their names."
Wen-Li smiled back at Sun and didn't protest. There were dozens of identical boys and girls to keep track of now and names would be tricky. But at least Sun could tell them apart. As Wen-Li bounced the giggling toddler on her knee, she noticed something strange on her skin. Wen-Li poked at some flaking skin behind the girl's ear and saw a few green scales on the other side. "What in the...Sun, Wu-May is sick. We need to take her to a doctor."
"She is?" Sun said, turning to see the scales. "Oh, her scales are just coming through. That's fine."
"That's fine?" Wen-Li said, almost yelling but stopping herself with the baby girl looking up at her.
"Sure, she's half dragon after all," Sun nodded.
"Half...you had sex with a dragon?"
"How do you think I got so big?" Sun giggled, rolling her eyes and tickling her daughter. "You know, for being my master, there are still a lot of things you don't know."
But as Wen-Li raised a tea cup to her lips, smiling as she reminisced on the memories she had at the gym, she saw ripples forming in the liquid. Could it be an earthquake? It had been years since a quake made it to this part of the countryside. The ripples were appearing more rapidly and Wen-Li could hear a stomping sound of some sort. Footsteps. A gang? No, with this much noise, it would have to be an army.
Grabbing a blade hanging on the wall, Wen-Li darted out of her office and steadied herself in front of the main door. If she could get a drop on the intruders, she would have a chance on her own, at least until help arrived. Then the door opened and Wen-Li could see who was coming to the gym.
"Hello!" a young woman said with a sunny voice. Wen-Li was a highly trained martial artist but even she dropped her guard when she saw her guest. The woman could not have been more than a few years past 20 and had the good looks youth provides, enough to easily call her a beauty. Her hair was long and black, hanging all the way down to her hips, and she had full, blossom-pink lips that were curled into an eager smile. But it wasn't the young woman's face that shocked Wen-Li. It was her belly.
Sticking out far past the young woman's beige shirt was a round, firm belly that went out for several feet. The entire belly was a perfect sphere, save for where it stuck out of the woman and the dimpled, inverted belly button on the front. Even if the woman stretched her arms all the way forward, she still came up more than a foot short of reaching the front of her belly to feel its long curvature. Despite her size, the young woman's belly didn't show a single stretch mark. In fact, her sandy skin glowed with even more sheen and clarity on her belly than on her face, which also had a warm tinge to it.
"H-hello," Wen-Li said, clearing her throat as she looked her guest up and down.
"This is the home of the Blue Forest Style school, right?" the woman said, looking around. "Wow, I've never been inside a martial arts gym before. It's big!"
It was not that big compared to many more established schools but Wen-Li wasn't too focused on that detail now. "Yes, this is the place. May I help y-?"
Before Wen-Li could fully complete her sentence, the woman hurried over with surprising speed given her belly size. With every step, it jiggled and wobbled around and her wide hips swayed back and forth. "Then you must be Master Wen-Li!"
"No one calls me 'master' anymore," Wen-Li sighed. "May I help you?"
The young woman dropped down to her knees and pressed her hands together. "Please, take me as your student and teach me kung-fu! I'll do whatever it takes!"
Wen-Li couldn't believe what she was hearing. This...mountain of a woman wanted to learn kung-fu? In her condition? "Are you sure that's such a good idea?"
"Absolutely! I need to learn and I've heard all about you. You're the perfect teacher for me!" The young woman bowed her head. "My name is Sun."
"Sun? Sun what?" Wen-Li asked.
"Nothing else. Just Sun," she said, raising her head. "I...can't really pay you but I'm really good at cooking and cleaning and I can help you lift wood and stuff."
"I don't think I'm going to have you lifting any wood," Wen-Li said with a confused chuckle.
"Okay but I can do lots of other things!" Sun said, beginning to raise one leg before groaning. "Oof...a little help please? I didn't think through how hard standing up would be in this position."
Rolling her eyes, Wen-Li took Sun's arm and pulled the young woman to her feet. She couldn't believe how much she weighed! "Okay, let's start from the beginning. Why do you want to learn Blue Forest Style?"
"Because it's the best balance of attack and defense – striking while blocking and blocking while striking – plus it's a modern style so it's practical and-"
"No, not what I meant," Wen-Li said, gripping the bridge of her nose and sighing. "Why do you want to learn?"
"Oh...you mean because of the...tummy, right?" Sun said, patting her huge belly. Wen-Li nodded. "Okay so...I'm part of a small farming community but I've always wanted to be like you! An amazing kung-fu master who can inspire women all over the kingdom! But as I was leaving my community, I got a little antsy and spent the night with this guy and...now I'm pregnant."
Wen-Li let out a little sigh of relief. Sure, Sun was preposterously pregnant but at least it was a relatively normal medical condition. If it had been something else, Wen-Li would have been seriously unsettled.
"So now I kind of have to fight the clock and become a master before these little fellas are born," Sun said, prodding her pregnant belly with one finger.
"That's going to be tricky," Wen-Li sighed, scratching her head. "Becoming a master in a few short weeks."
"Oh no, longer than that," Sun said. "Eight months." Wen-Li's dropped her sword to the ground and Sun giggled, patting the side of her belly. "I met a nice old lady on my journey here who had some medical experience. She said it's usually nine or ten months and we figured I'm a month along."
Wen-Li could not believe what she was hearing. Obviously, she had never seen a pregnant woman with a belly as large as Sun's and hadn't even heard rumors about such a thing. But to think that she was only a month along? Women never even started showing that early on...so how many babies was Sun carrying? How big would she get?
"Sorry, but I don't take students anymore," Wen-Li said, stepping away.
"But the sign on the gym is still up," Sun said, her perky eyebrows now drooping. "And I'll be really good, I promise!"
"I can't make someone a master in less than a year and I wouldn't even know how to train someone like...like you," Wen-Li said, pointing to Sun's belly. "Go home, I'm sorry."
As Wen-Li turned her back, she heard the sound of coins clattering on the floor. She looked and saw Sun dumping out a satchel of coins onto the floor of the gym, though there weren't very many. "That's all the money I have. Please, master, I beg you!" Sun bowed her head again but peeked one eye out. "And don't make me get back down on the floor. It takes too long."
Wen-Li sighed and walked over, putting her hands on Sun's shoulders. "Fine." Sun squealed and gave Wen-Li a powerful hug, her belly knocking against the middle-aged master. "It's important to teach everyone self defense. I may not make you a master but I'll let you take care of your...babies."
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" Sun said, moving around excitedly. "I can't wait!" She waddled around the gym, studying posters and weapons until she found a wooden bench. "Ooh, is this where you practice breaking boards?"
"I don't practice breaking boards. The Blue Forest Style is focused on-" As Wen-Li spoke, Sun let out a cry and thrust her hand down. Not only did she chop right through the wood, but she crushed the stone pedestal supporting the bench. "...on form and...technique..." Wen-Li walked over, inspecting what Sun destroyed with one hand. "How did you do that?"
"Hmm?" Sun said, shaking the rubble off of her hand. "I told you, for a lot of my life, I worked on farms and I did a lot of the manual labor. It made me pretty strong, huh?"
Wen-Li hesitated before she spoke, still stunned from what she was seeing. It took a newcomer a long time before they developed the body or the discipline needed to break wood with their bare hands and Sun managed to punch through solid stone with a beginner's strike. If she instilled martial arts into her...how strong would she get. "Let's...just start with some basics," Wen-Li said, beckoning Sun to join her in the center of the gym. "Can you punch?"
Sun shrugged and pulled one arm back and threw a sloppy punch. It extended out in the air but her belly extended even farther. "Like that?"
"This is going to be a problem," Wen-Li said, patting Sun on the stomach.
"That tickles!" Sun giggled, shifting in place.
"For now, we'll focus on form," Wen-Li said, standing beside Sun and slowly outstretching her arms. "Match my movements." Sun squealed and followed suit, her arms and legs shaking. "Concentrate."
"Sorry, sorry! This is just so exciting!" Sun laughed as she followed Wen-Li's form for another hour or so. Their exercises were interrupted when another sound of thunderous footsteps was heard outside the door and Wen-Li stood up to face them.
"Damn...I heard the new governor was checking gyms but I thought I'd be passed by," Wen-Li cursed quietly. The door opened to reveal several soldiers, with one in particular wearing finer armor on his body and a smug smile on his face.
"A little small but this could make a fine barrack and weapons depot," he said, approaching Wen-Li. "This gym is hereby confiscated under the governor's authority."
"Confiscated? For what reason?" Wen-Li asked.
"You don't meet the regulations for martial arts gyms. The governor is kind enough to allow you people to study self-defense but there are some limits to his generosity." He brushed his light beard and scoffed. "This hardly meets the criteria for a gym. You don't even have students."
"I'm a student," Sun said loudly. Wen-Li winced, fearing her pregnant pupil would only make things worse.
"You?" he said with a barking laugh. "How can you be a martial artist?"
"Not only that but I'm going to become a grandmaster!" Sun bellowed. Wen-Li groaned again, especially since Sun added the "grand-" to her title.
"Very well. If you're a student here, you should be able to at least spar with me," the official cackled, removing his cape and helmet and lifting his arms toward Sun.
"Sun, stand down," Wen-Li whispered.
"No can do. I have to protect my school's honor," Sun said.
"You've been here less than a day," Wen-Li sighed but it was too late. The official darted toward Sun and threw a few chops. However, her belly kept him far enough away that she could dodge. By the same token, it made her too far away for her thrusts and kicks, following the forms Wen-Li had taught her. The master was actually impressed with how well she had learned the forms but it just wasn't fighting meant for a pregnant woman, especially not one Sun's size.
"This is a farce!" the official laughed, leaping toward Sun. He kicked her in the knee, making her grunt in pain. Another kick and her leg went weak but she roped his arm in the process. Both fell down, with Sun's belly landing down on the official. Hard. He coughed and groaned when it all hit. "Get off of me! You're crushing me!"
"Leave the school alone!" Sun screamed.
"Fine, fine, you can stay open! Just get off of me!" he yelled again.
"Master? A little help?" Sun said. Wen-Li hurried over and rolled Sun off of the official as he scrambled to safety. His armor was dented and broken and he had a hard time breathing.
"W-we don't want any trouble," the official managed to choke out. "The governor will stay away from your school."
"Good," Wen-Li said with a nod. "You can all show yourselves out."
As the soldiers ran away, Sun looked to Wen-Li with a big smile. "We did it! We protected the gym!"
"I guess we did," Wen-Li said slowly, still confused by the whole event.
"So I can stay here as a student?" Sun asked. Wen-Li saw the excitement in her almond eyes and wondered just what other surprises this girl had inside her.
"I suppose so," Wen-Li said. "But for disregarding my orders, you have to take a punishment. Clean the entire gym – sweep every board, sort every paper. And clean up that broken bench while you're at it." Sun jumped to attention and hurried for the broom as Wen-Li chuckled. She'd forgotten but being a teacher had its benefits.
Wen-Li tapped out her bills on an abacus. Taking in a new student to her martial arts gym had a number of benefits. Chores and cleaning were now done without her dividing her time. Her new students had defeated an imperial officer so well that government officials never asked her for bribes or taxes anymore. And the notoriety of Wen-Li's gym was greatly boosted and word had spread around the surrounding lands.
Of course, seeing how her student was an absent-minded pregnant woman with a belly the size of an ox, all of these benefits came with some caveats. Sun was strong but she was not always the fastest woman so cleaning and organizing the gym always took time. Not to mention how Sun's enormous round stomach always knocked things over and broke the occasional wall. And on several occasions, Sun missed large patches of the gym floor when she was sweeping because she could hardly see anything below her.
And sure, Sun had repelled the imperial soldiers but her strength was a double-edged sword. Wen-Li was constantly in fear that her next bit of martial arts training would result in Sun accidentally breaking her teacher's bones or knocking the entire building down with one blow. Wen-Li's only hope was that, by giving Sun the structure of Blue Forest Style, her monstrous strength could be managed.
And while people were finally talking about Wen-Li's gym again, she was not getting any new students or investors. Everyone was terrified of Sun, not just for her raw power, but because of how she looked. When she first arrived at the gym, her pregnant belly was bigger than the rest of her body. It was still smooth and even had a maternal glow but it still unsettled local villagers. Some neighborhood children even spread rumors that she wasn't pregnant but had been eating people whole.
On top of all that, in the two months since Wen-Li had been teaching Sun, her pregnancy had only gotten bigger. Sun's belly now entered the room nearly 30 seconds before the rest of her, thanks to her slow and clumsy waddling. All that extra surface area meant Sun's cravings were as strong as her fists, which is why Wen-Li's abacus told her that her gym was losing money.
"Master!" Sun whistled, waddling over to the table where Wen-Li sat. "I have a great way for our gym to get more attention!"
As Sun hurried over, her leg tripped against a stool and she dipped forward fast. Sucking in a deep breath, Sun lifted her tripping leg and did a quick kick into the ground. It broke the wood floor but her fast move anchored her body in place so she didn't fall down. Unfortunately, she did all this after her belly smashed through Wen-Li's table and broke her abacus. "I don't think a lack of attention is our problem," Wen-Li grumbled.
"But look, there were these flyers around town," Sun said, handing her teacher a large sheet of paper. It had stamps from various villages on it and Wen-Li could see how authentic it was. "It's a martial arts tournament! All you have to do is enter it and everyone will see how amazing you are. They'll line up just to be taught by you!"
Wen-Li read it a few times and, with a sad look, let it flutter down to the floor. "It says it's for disciples only. I have my gym registered and I'm past the age limit."
Sun's belly shook and jiggled as she frantically tried to catch the slowly falling paper before it went on the ground. "Oops, I just saw 'teacher' and 'student' and got excited! I skipped over most of it."
"When I read that part, I stopped too," Wen-Li said with a small chuckle.
"Did you skip the part about the cash prize too?"
With no hesitation, Wen-Li stomped one foot on the floor and snatched at the air with all her might. The resulting bursts of wind made the flyer zip right back into her hands. "The what now?"
Sun giggled and clapped her hands together. "Wow-ee! Master, you have to teach me that one!" Wen-Li read the sheet over again, not responding to her pupil. "So...can I enter instead?"
Wen-Li looked Sun over, seeing her student's big warm smile, her twinkling brown eyes, and her hands eagerly rubbing wide circles on her exposed belly. "With your strength...maybe you could win but you have been training for too short a time. There are martial arts schools where students are trained since they are boys and learn to kill before they become adults."
"Good, then I'll teach them a lesson," Sun said, her full, pink lips pouting as she lifted one fist. "You don't have to be mean to be strong."
The aging master laughed and scratched her chin. "Sure...let's give it a shot." She reached back down for the sheet. "When is it?"
"Today," Sun chirped. Wen-Li rushed away from her smashed table and grabbed Sun by the collar. "Whoops!" Sun giggled as she held one arm against her chest. Not only was her belly getting bigger but Sun's breasts were extremely swollen and Wen-Li's grab made her naked bosom sneak out.
Using all her stamina, Wen-Li got herself and her student to the sight of the tournament: a large trading down on the river. There were thousands of people bustling around and all of them looked at Sun and her belly with utter disbelief. Wen-Li was nervous about walking around with such an odd-looking woman but Sun couldn't have been happier.
"Wow, this place is so cool! Look at all these people! All this food!" Sun said, looking at the market with her mouth in a permanent smile. "Hi there!" she said, waving to an old woman crossing the street who looked back at her with confusion.
"Let's find that tournament," Wen-Li said, putting her arm around Sun's back and guiding her toward the center of town.
There, a large stone platform stood with a crowd gathered around. An official stood by the side, checking in scary looking men who were clearly fighters. "Name?"
"Wen-Li of the Blue Forest Style," Wen-Li said, handing her gym permit to the judge. "This is my student, Sun."
Sun had her back turned, still looking at the city in awe, and was partially obscured by the large crowds, so the official didn't see her enormous pregnant middle. "She seems kind of frail," he said. "We're not liable for any injuries she receives, you understand?"
"Glad to hear it," Wen-Li said with a knowing grin. "We won't be responsible if she breaks anyone."
Up on the stone platform, martial arts students knocked their heads, fists, and legs against one another again and again. Eventually, the judge for the tournament came out, a scroll in his hands.
"Next, from the Gongga Mountain Temple, Shu Dua," the judge said, signaling to a bald young man with toned muscles and a cold expression. "And from the Blue Forest Style," he began to say before turning and seeing the gigantic mass of smooth, round skin behind him. "Uh...um..."
"Close. It's pronounced 'Sun,'" Sun said, waddling forward. "Sorry, when I signed in, I may have not done a good job. I have sloppy handwriting."
The crowd murmured as Sun turned to Shu Dua and bowed. He held up one hand and bowed as well. "I am sorry, but I can not compete," he said as the starting bell rang out. "It is against the tenants of our school to attack one who is–"
Before he could finish his sentence, Sun had already run forward and lept into the air, turning her hips so her swinging arm could strike Shu Dua in the chest, slamming his back into the stone platform. It knocked the wind out of Shu Dua and he was immediately declared out. The audience was dead silent as Sun was declared winner and she proceeded to the next round.
No one else took Sun lightly but it didn't make much of a difference. With one strike, Sun took out her opponents. If it wasn't a shove or a stray kick, one sudden twist of her hips knocked Sun's belly against their bodies with enough force to take them out of commission. In her penultimate match, an agile fighter actually managed to get one punch of his own in but he hit Sun in the head and her skull shattered the bones in his hand.
"Master, you always said I had a hard head," Sun called out to Wen-Li after the incident, waving to her teacher. The audience turned to face Wen-Li and gossiped to themselves about her ability as a martial artist or whether Sun's pregnancy was the result of some sort of witchcraft.
"Now we are ready for our final match," the judge said, visibly trembling. "Representing the Blue Forest Style, we have Sun." Some in the audience actually clapped, growing impressed with the pregnant girl over the course of the day. "And representing the Old Fang School, Ayu."
The crowd went quiet as Ayu stepped up. She wore a cloak that may have been white or some other plain color at the beginning of the tournament but it was now dyed with patches of red. Her black hair was tied into a tight bun and she looked at Sun with a focused, piercing gaze.
"Nice to meet you," Sun said, bowing as the starting bell rang. Ayu slowly extended both arms, keeping her eyes locked on Sun. "Sorry, hugging might be kinda tricky with my tummy in the way."
"Noted," Ayu said as two chains fell down her sleeves. On one end was a weight and a curved blade was on the other. She began swinging both and they got increasingly fast.
"Hey, weapons are banned!" Wen-Li called out. The judge tried to approach Ayu to chastise her but got a cut across his face instead.
"I don't care about winning or losing. I just wanted to massacre the other so-called martial artists in the region," Ayu cackled. "I've been doing this since I was little."
"Oh, master told me about people like you!" Sun said, pointing at her opponent. "Except...did you used to be a boy? Otherwise I'm confused." Ayu let out a sickening howl and through her weapons at Sun. She managed to block or dodge them thanks to her inhuman power but she wasn't able to get close enough to actually attack.
"This is my fault," Wen-Li moaned quietly. "I let this poor girl go into the lion's den, all because I wanted some money."
"Wait, I get it!" Sun suddenly said. Her belly suddenly contracted as she sucked in a deep breath. As Ayu's weight swung closer, Sun let out a big gasp of air and swung her hand the same way Wen-Li did earlier in the day. The bursts of air stopped the chain's momentum and it clattered lax on the ground. Ayu tried to lift it again but Sun had already grabbed it and tugged hard. Ayu went flying toward her and crashed against Sun's belly like a ship against a cliffside. She collapsed, as limp as her chain.
The audience was silent. "A...and your winner," the judge said, barely able to get the words out as he trembled in fear. "Is...is..."
"It's me!" Sun said, hopping up and down with glee. "See Master? I've been watching and learning Blue Forest Style!"
Wen-Li was just as shocked as the crowd, possibly more so. In a few months, Sun had managed to learn a high-level move. How much more had she learned that Wen-Li didn't know about.
"You did great, Sun," Wen-Li finally said with a smile.
"To celebrate, can we eat at a restaurant in this city? They have so many kinds of fish I've never seen before!" Sun said, climbing down from the platform as judges checked on Ayu.
"Sure, but then let's head back to the village," Wen-Li said, patting her pupil's belly. "There are a lot of things I want to teach you."
It was incredible. Wen-Li paced around her student, watching in marvel as the young woman punched and kicked in the air with perfect accuracy and grace. In only a handful of months, her pupil had managed to complete all the training Wen-Li had to offer when it came to teaching the Blue Forest Style. There was no missed timing, no extraneous movements, and no strain in her student's strikes.
What made this all the more surprising was just what kind of student Wen-Li had been counseling for the past four months. Sun came into Wen-Li's gym as the largest pregnant women she had ever seen and her fetuses had only grown larger inside Sun since then. Wen-Li had to pace in a wide circle around Sun to avoid being hit by her enormous round belly as it swung around with each of Sun's steps. As Sun moved and went through the various stances and forms of the Blue Forest Style, her golden skin got sweaty and Sun's entire pregnant stomach glowed and glistened like polished marble.
For her demonstration of the Blue Forest's entire manual of movements, Sun was stripped down to let Wen-Li see which of her muscles she was using, particularly along her back. This revealed just how much the rest of Sun's body had grown as her pregnancy progressed. The cloth wrapping used to cover Sun's breasts nearly used up all of Wen-Li's laundry and they had to borrow from some neighbors to cinch it in place and keep Sun's naked chest from flopping out. Her cleavage was deep enough to fit two fists between her bosom, one on top of the other, and still have room to spare.
Sun's butt was getting increasingly round and firm. For a while, Wen-Li had internally compared each cheek to the melons grown at the farm in a neighboring village. But now, it was more appropriate to compare Sun's rear to a normal woman's pregnant stomach. For the day's exhibition of Sun's martial arts prowess, she had on a small bit of rope and cloth to cover herself up but it let her butt stick out essentially nude and it wiggled back and forth as Sun showed off her moves.
For her whole life as a self-defense practitioner, Wen-Li believed her own slim frame was the best for martial arts, particularly for the Blue Forest Style, but Sun's accomplishments made her reassess. Not only was Sun pulling off all of the moves with expert precision, but her detailed back suggested her heavy chest may be toning her strongest muscles and her quick moves appeared to be aided by the use of her large butt as a rudder. Still, Wen-Li wasn't so sure how Sun's belly helped her out. It had surpassed the size of the Gao family's largest ox and Sun had to awkwardly turn her body when using the wooden post dummy Wen-Li set up in an ill-fated exercise.
Finally, Sun flung her fist out in one last punch. The force and speed of the blow made the sweat on her arm and hand fly off and splash against her belly. "So," Sun said with a long exhale, turning to Wen-Li and giving her teacher a big, toothy grin. "How did I do?"
Wen-Li paused. "Very well," she said after a while. She didn't add that Sun had done impossibly well, considering she had only been a student of Wen-Li's gym for a few months. Even less than that, in fact, since Wen-Li didn't seriously try and teach Sun until after seeing her student's prowess at a martial arts tournament in a large city half a day's travel away. "Soon, you may be better than me."
Sun blushed and held her hands against her cheeks. "Oh, master, no!" Sun giggled. "You're incredible! I don't think I'll ever be as good as you but I appreciate you taking me in as your pupil." Sun stretched out and turned to Wen-Li and cupped her hands together. Just as she began to move forward, she stopped and snapped back up to a regular standing position. "Oops, almost forgot!"
"It's alright," Wen-Li said, her eyes looking at all the spots in the gym where the wood floor was recently replaced because Sun's bowing kept putting her belly through the ground. The only thing more surprising than Sun's quick adoption of martial arts was the truly monstrous strength that she came into the gym with. Well, the fact that her pregnancy was this size and she was only five months pregnant was a little more surprising.
"So, what should I do next?" Sun asked, pressing her hands into her back and waddling around the gym some. Often, as she was getting bigger, Sun would lean back to accommodate the sheer size and weight of her swollen middle and this pose made her look even larger, if that was possible. "Do you have any more chores you need me to do? Or am I ready for the next level of training?"
Wen-Li had a predicament on her hands. There was no "next level" for Sun to achieve in Blue Forest Style. There wasn't a single master around who Wen-Li thought Sun couldn't defeat now. All Wen-Li really had left was to give Sun some exercises for weight training but with Sun's natural power, it all seemed like a joke. She had seen Sun casually lift a boulder with one hand so she could reposition it and give herself some shade and this was before she had the kind of discipline the Blue Forest Style beat into her.
But...there was one step left for Sun if she was going to be an honest-to-goodness martial arts grand master. And she couldn't believe she was going to tell this young, pregnant student about it. "There is one piece of training you have to complete," Wen-Li said. "And it will be the final part of my teaching to you."
Sun gasped and hurried toward Wen-Li, knocking her belly against her teacher. Luckily, Wen-Li was used to this and was able to parry the force with hands, though it left her arms a little numb. "Master! You're leaving? H-have I offended you?" Tears started to well up in Sun's eyes. "Was it because I'm so clumsy?"
"No," Wen-Li said.
"Or because I had sex with your nephew when he visited?"
"No, not..." Wen-Li started to say. "Wait, you did?"
"Or because I kept bringing in cats and feeding them?"
"No, nothing like that," Wen-Li said with a shout before composing herself. She had come to love Sun like family but...she was a little grating on the nerves at times. "Sun, this is my last bit of training because you have completed everything else."
Sun's reddening cheeks stopped changing their hue when she heard that. "What do you mean?" she said with a sniffle.
"I've taught you everything I know. Literally, everything I know," Wen-Li sighed. "I even made up a few exercises and stances and you ended up mastering those in about a week each. You have almost everything a martial arts master needs." She didn't want to add that Sun has the making of a true kung fu legend since things were complicated enough as it was.
"Wow so...we're equals now!" Sun said, her sunny expression back as she got giddy and hopped up and down, shaking the foundation of the gym in the process. "I don't have to call you master anymore!"
"I never wanted you to call me that," Wen-Li mumbled.
"From now on, refer to me as Sun-nushi," Sun said, sticking her chin up and puffing out her chest.
"Wait, wait, wait," Wen-Li said, having her hand. She didn't expect Sun to get a superiority complex already. Imagine if she had told Sun just how powerful she actually was? "I didn't say you're a master yet. You still have one last test."
Sun blushed and fell to the floor, lying on her side so her belly stuck out, and grabbed Wen-Li's ankles. "You're right, I'm so sorry master! Please, tell me what I have to do to make up for my insolence!"
Wen-Li groaned and rubbed her temples. "Sun, please get up."
"I need a hand with that," Sun squeaked. Wen-Li helped her massive student to her feet, straining her own muscles to lift Sun's pregnant body as it approached 400 pounds. "Okay, so what is my final task, master?"
Wen-Li took a deep breath. "You need to go on a personal quest."
"Ooh, a quest," Sun purred. "Sounds like fun...who do I have to beat?"
"This is a serious, spiritual quest, Sun. You aren't being sent out to kill a dragon or fight with demons," Wen-Li said, darkening her tone.
"Well of course I'm not going to kill a dragon," Sun said, rolling her eyes.
"For centuries, to become a master of Blue Forest Style, one had to take nothing but the clothes on their back and head to our ancestral home: the thick forest the crowns the great mountain Di Tian Kong," Wen-Li said, unfurling an old map written on parchment and pointing the location out to Sun.
"Go to the mountain, got it," Sun nodded. "Then what?"
"Practice. Train. Meditate," Wen-Li said. "When you know you are done, you can return."
Sun paused and giggled, patting her enormous belly. "Uh, master? I don't know if you remember but I don't have a lot of time left. Could you give me a hint so I can speed through this?"
"No hints," Wen-Li said, shaking her head. "But I believe in you. Somehow...you are meant to go on this journey, even as you are now."
Sun took in a deep breath and looked more composed and serious than Wen-Li had ever seen her. "Okay...okay, I understand." She waddled forward and scooped Wen-Li up in her arms. "Thank you, master."
Wen-Li was about to ask her pupil to back away but Sun's hug was warm and soothing. She smiled and touched one hand to Sun's firm belly and hugged Sun back. "Good luck."
Sun gave her teacher one last squeeze before dropping her down and turning toward the door. "So just the clothes on my back then?"
"Yes but you can put your shirt back on, Sun," Wen-Li chuckled. "I mean, you're almost naked right now. You can't go on a long journey like...Sun? Sun?" Wen-Li hurried after her student but Sun was already out the door and walking down the road, belly and butt hanging out for the world to see and her breasts not far behind. "Oh...I suppose this is the way it was meant to be too."
After a few days travel, stopping in unattended farmhouses and under trees along the way, Sun made it to the mountain and the forest inside. She waddled around, admiring the natural beauty of the land, before coming to an old, dead tree. All its bark was gone, revealing only worn, white wood, and there were many names carved into the tree. Sun ran her hands against the etched names until she came to the characters for Wen-Li's name.
"That's your momma's teacher," Sun said, looking down at her belly and patting it. "You'll all get to meet her. I don't have anywhere else to live, after all, so we'll be staying in her gym!" She giggled and snatched an itch along the long curve of her belly before climbing farther up the stretch of the mountain.
Past the woods, the peak of Di Tian Kong was totally bare of any vegetation aside from some scraps of grass. From the peak, Sun could see the wide open sky, the various mountains and forests and rivers around, and even the indications of small villages hundreds of miles away. She sucked in her breath and ran her hands down her full, fertile body. Days of travel had already loosened her cloth top and she undid the final part, standing on top of the mountain stark naked and pregnant. Her belly jiggled in the wind as she went through the entire Blue Forest Style manual with precision and grace. Sweat made her nude breasts glisten and each stomp of her toned legs sent out an echo.
When she had finished, Sun was under a dark sky of glittering stars, and she let out a long exhale, feeling her energy spread from the top of her head to the base of her feet, to the tip of her inverted belly button on her enormous pregnant stomach.
"Okay," Sun said to herself, putting her hands on her wide hips. "Now what?"
Every day, for months now, there were daily tremors and strange sounds rolling down from the mountain. In the small villages in the valleys surrounding the mountain, there were rumors of a demon that had come to live on its peak, angrily beating its fists into the stone to shake the earth. Others thought this was an omen of the coming end of the world, with the trembling in the ground getting stronger with each passing day until they could be considered genuine earthquakes. Still others, looking for more logical explanations, thought the military was testing new gunpowder or other explosives for coming wars with regional rivals or rebel factions.
In truth, it was all the work of one young woman, practicing her martial arts.
Sun had lived on the mountain for two months now, eating plants that grew on the side of the mountain and fish from nearby streams. At one point, she had considered cutting down on her consumption from the Di Tian Kong mountain that was so important to her master Wen-Li and the practitioners of the Blue Forest Style. Instead, she would only breastfeed from her own massive chest but it wasn’t big enough for her to do that…yet.
Since Sun had climbed the mountain and began her solitary study, her pregnancy had advanced steadily. Her pregnant belly was now quadruple her own pre-pre-natal size and each of her breasts was the size of a regular woman’s stomach when she’s overdue with twins and her butt cheeks were like boulders, ready to roll down the mountain side and crush a cottage.
When she left for Di Tian Kong, Sun brought little with her and only wore a loin cloth and a loose top to cover her nipples. But after days of exercising out in the elements and steadily becoming rounder and wider all over, Sun had abandoned her clothing and was now totally nude, her pregnant belly glistening in the uncovered sunlight and her bosom resting on top, swollen and heavy.
It was the end of another day and Sun took a deep breath, bringing both hands together the way Wen-Li taught her to do and pressing her breasts together in the process. She’d said it was a sign of respect after a day of practice and Sun had continued her master’s teachings. The moon was starting to become brighter as the sky turned dark and Sun didn’t want to get lost on her way back to the top of the mountain when she got dinner.
Eagerly, she bound down the steep rock face. Early on in her self-imposed training regiment, she pushed herself to move faster and lighter despite her increasing size and she now jumped several feet in the air, barely touching her toe against the stones as she made her way down. Her belly and breasts jiggled in the air while her rear remained firm, channeling the power in her legs and abdomen. Sun giggled as she felt her babies kick and squirm as her womb flew through the air and she took the time to rub and stroke her ever-growing curves as she darted around.
Back on top of the mountain, Sun sat on the very peak, watching the stars twinkle as she ate fish with one hand and rubbed her belly with the other. She smiled, enjoying the feeling of her warm, tight skin. Her chest was now so large that she could barely look at her swollen stomach but she could get a good sense from just stroking her fertile middle.
“I haven’t given birth yet and I’m already excited to go through all this again,” Sun said to her belly. Being alone for months had made her go a little stir-crazy and she took to talking to her enormous womb. “But maybe I’ll try to be a little smaller next time…or maybe even bigger! This is fun!”
She giggled and looked over her shoulder at her “training area.” There was a large fissure in the top of the mountain from where she practiced her daily chops while also trying to control her power so she did not destroy Di Tian Kong. Nearby were several trees with smooth, slender holes in them from constant punches through its center, followed by sweeping motions to sand the bristles and wood down to the point that it felt like jade.
Aside from those kinds of strength exercises, Sun practiced her motions and katas, now able to punch and, amazingly, given her colossal pregnancy, kick at speeds beyond human comprehension. Sun was also precise enough to skewer leaves with her fingers with her eyes closed.
Despite all this mastery, Sun did not feel as though she was ready to leave Di Tian Kong. Somehow, she did not feel like a master, as Wen-Li told her she would. This made Sun a little worried, as the constant churning inside her belly and the tightness of her skin signaled what she already knew: that she was getting closer and closer to her birthdate. Sun was not always the brightest lantern but she understood that after a little less than a year, pregnant women had their babies and just because she was bigger than some houses didn’t mean she was exempt.
Sun sighed and leaned back, tossing the fish bones down the mountain face and back down into the river miles away. Both hands rested on her belly as she moved to her back. “Ā-tummy, you wouldn’t want me to stay here too long, would you? I mean, you would give me a clue when you were ready for me to have my babies, right?”
A gurgling sound of gallons of amniotic fluid sloshing around inside her made Sun smile and she patted her belly. She’d taken those kinds of sounds to mean “yes,” though most of her questions were “yes or no” questions and she always preferred “yes” as an answer. “No” just sounded so mean.
Brushing her black hair – which was now longer than she was tall, dirty, and unkept – out of her eyes, Sun relaxed and drifted off to sleep, dreaming about Wen-Li praising her and waddling around the town, a proud smile of accomplishment on her face.
But as Sun tried to sleep, she kept being woken by the constant kicking going on inside her belly. With a little groan, Sun opened her eyes and glared at her stomach, sticking up like a mountain to rival Di Tian Kong.
“Ā-tummy, quit it. Sun needs her beauty sleep to stay cute and strong,” Sun chided, giving the side of her stomach a light smack. To her surprise, her unborn children kicked back, pushing her hand away. Sun gasped and frowned, sitting up so she could get a better look at her pregnant middle. “Rude!”
A kick to her bladder made Sun groan and she hoisted herself up, watching her swollen middle bounce and sway with movement. She was not used to her fetuses being this active yet, as she was just on the cusp of her third trimester. Every kick felt as if it were propagated, spreading out beyond their limbs. Sun wasn’t sure how many babies were actually inside her gigantic belly but it felt like twice as many were kicking inside her.
“Wait,” Sun said to herself, settling her palm against her belly and feeling the vibrations. There was a kind of rhythm and pattern to the beating blows against her womb wall. Something she could understand and follow with enough time. Sun brought one of her hand back, inspecting her fist. “This whole time, I have just been doing one punch at a time…what if I could do more?”
She waddled to one of her training trees, reached her elbow back, and threw a punch, trying to include more than one blow. Her hand struck the trunk and blew a gust of wind from its power but it was still just one punch.
Sun let out a deep sigh and rubbed her belly as she thought. Wen-Li had always taught her to relax when she punched. It went against her logic but if she was tense, it would come out worse. And as Sun rubbed her unborn young, she thought about what it must be like inside her belly: warm, gentle, relaxed. Her fetuses couldn’t have been too forceful when they kicked.
She tried to think about that. Sun pictured herself in her own mother’s belly, trying to remember being caressed and tickled by her mom’s hands and arms for months before finally being pushed out. A small smile formed on Sun’s pink lips and when she opened them back up, she threw another punch at the tree. It bent under the pressure, then out of nowhere, a second blow struck it and the tree collapsed, its roots popping out from the earth and rolling down the mountain.
“I did it,” Sun squealed to herself, looking at her hands. “But…I bet I can do more. This is what I need to practice.”
At the end of another month of training, Sun was enormous. Anyone looking at her may not have even noticed the rest of her body unless she spoke or moved. Her belly was like part of the mountain itself, if not for her gleaming golden skin. She was like an ancient, unearthed fertility statue, hewn from the best bronze and gold to make a beautiful monument to womanhood.
You could be forgiven for thinking Sun was just a statue. At the moment, she was sitting on the tip of the mountain, perfectly still as her eyes were closed. Both hands were pressed against the side of her belly, feeling her fetuses and trying to spread her consciousness to each of them individually to get a sense of their bodies and placement. Sun may have been tranquil but her unborn children were kicking up a storm that would have made her cry out in shock weeks ago.
Sun waited for a gust of wind to shake her hair, now cut short with sharpened stones so she could improve her focus, before she started to take in a deep breath. There was a change in the air pressure as a storm cloud came overhead. Just as the rain started to beat down, Sun let her new-found power fly out of her.
All around her, she was sending out strong punches without moving a muscle and knocking the raindrops out of the sky. Her training had taken her far beyond adding to her punches. Sun felt her babies even when they weren’t kicking and she had learned to attack without attacking.
Sun was in a dry patch as her unseen strikes cleared all the water away, leaving her totally clean. As the rain got harder, her blows got faster. She had spotted the coming thundercloud in the sky hours ago and had been preparing, knowing this would be her last true test if she was going to consider herself a master.
Then, in the dark clouds overhead, a rumble came and Sun prepared herself. With a great cry, she lifted her hips and thrust her belly into the air just as a bolt of lightning came down. It struck her pregnant middle and Sun deflected it, sending the jagged energy through the sky and down to a nearby stone hill, destroying it completely.
Sun’s belly was still smooth and firm, with only a bit of steam coming off of it. All of her babies were kicking, just as healthy as ever. She let out a deep breath and clasped her hands together, bowing to the terrifying cloud.
“Thank you,” Sun said. “Now I know I’m a master.” She grinned and patted her glistening, naked belly, allowing the rain to fall against her and make her tight skin shimmer as it got wet. “C’mon, ā-tummy, let’s head back down and introduce you to Wen-Li. You might have forgotten her but she’s like your other grandma…though I don’t know how old she really is.”
When Wen-Li was a young student, she asked her teachers what it meant to be a master. One teacher who had little poetics about her said a master was someone who had achieved a level of understand and control over their kung-fu. Another told a story about a legendary fighter who defeated an entire army with their martial arts skills. But Wen-Li's third teacher, and her personal favorite, just smiled and said a true master will make themselves clear to those with open hearts and minds.
She remembered this words as she worked alone in her gym. With Sun up in the mountains training, she finally had time to repair the damage her colossal strength and impossibly large pregnant belly did to the gym. But still, Wen-Li had grown to miss Sun and always looked out the window to see if she might be waddling down the path to return.
Then, the ground began to shake. A chorus of startled birds rang out as they flew into the sky. Wen-Li steadied herself, looking around the gym to see if there was any risk of it coming down. As the tremors began to settle, she heard a familiar sigh and giggle outside her door as the curtains opened and a big, smooth belly pushed through.
Sun made her way into the gym, her maternal glow in full effect. She looked like she was a statue carved out of gold, with extra attention and polish given to her belly. Her hair fluttered in the wind and there was a calming sparkle in her dark brown eyes, plus a smile that put Wen-Li's old heart at ease.
"Master, I-"
"I know," Wen-Li sighed, holding up one hand and giving a relieved smile. "I can tell. Congratulations, Master Sun of the Blue Forest Style."
Sun squealed and rushed forward, hugging her old teacher tightly. Wen-Li braced herself to be squashed by Sun's monstrous strength but Sun was distributing her power so Wen-Li was hugged equally on all points of her body. It was still tight but not as painful as before and far more calming. Still, Sun couldn't help but smother her teacher in her engorged cleavage.
"Sun...maybe you should put some clothes on," Wen-Li said in a muffled voice. After months alone in the mountains, Sun was completely naked, showing off just how curvy pregnancy had made her.
"Oops! Sorry, I kinda got used to being nude up there," Sun giggled, looking for something to put on. Nothing really fit her anymore but she found a large blanket that at least concealed her bare breasts.
"Didn't people stare at you when you came down?" Wen-Li asked.
"No, I got bored walking back down from Di Tian Kong and I was so excited to see you that I just jumped," Sun said with a shrug.
"What...what do you mean 'jumped?'" Wen-Li said, narrowing her eyes.
"You know, jumped!" Sun said with a laugh. "I jumped from the mountain to your gym." Wen-Li now knew what that massive earthquake was a few moments ago. "Duh."
"Of course," Wen-Li sighed, never getting used to just how strong her pupil was. "And your pregnancy is still healthy?"
"I think so. They are really getting big!" Sun said, stroking her stomach in wide circles. She was one big inhale away from being unable to fit inside the gym doors and Wen-Li could hardly believe how much bigger she'd gotten since leaving months ago to train on Di Tian Kong. There were prize-winning oxen Wen-Li had seen in the village markets that were not as big as Sun's round belly. "And it's so much tighter than before but I think that's just from the training."
"I see," Wen-Li nodded. "May I...no, I can't ask that of a Blue Forest master."
"Anything for you!" Sun said with a big grin. "I owe a lot to you, Wen-Li."
"May I...touch it?" Wen-Li gulped. "I'm just so curious, I apologize."
Sun's smile melted into a look of shock, then utter glee. She rammed her stomach against her old teacher and squealed. "YesYesYesYesYesYesYes Of Course Yes!"
Wen-Li laughed and placed her palm against Sun's belly. She couldn't believe how tight it was, like a sphere made of pure steel. Wen-Li even tried to push against it but couldn't get even a millimeter of give. Then, as Wen-Li moved her hand around, she felt a twinge run across the expanse of Sun's stomach as it grew even tighter. "What was that? Was that a...a kick?"
"Hmm? Oh no, that was just a cramp," Sun said, stroking another part of her belly. "I dunno, I've been having those a lot lately. I need to walk around more."
"A cramp?" Wen-Li said with a nervous gulp. "Um, Sun? How long have you been pregnant?"
Sun held out her hands and tried to count on her fingers. After stopping and restarting a few times, she looked back at Wen-Li. "Eight months."
"Eight months...you're sure?"
"Yeah, it's been eight months since I saw a doctor who told me I'm pregnant," Sun nodded with a little smile.
Wen-Li tried to make sense of what her former student just said. "Wait...since a doctor told you?"
"Right, that's when you start counting. When the doctor says you're pregnant," Sun giggled. "How else would you know how long it's been?"
Wen-Li felt another strong cramp and began to worry. "Okay, then how long has it been since the sex you think caused the pregnancy?"
"Master!" Sun said, blushing. "That's a very personal question."
"How long?"
Sun sighed and counted on her fingers again. "Um...I think it's probably been about..." As she was thinking, there was a groaning sound from inside her belly and a torrent of fluid spilled out from between her legs, soaking the wood floor of the gym. "10 or 11 months." Sun winced and touched both hands back to her belly. "Wow, that's getting really tight."
"Oh dear...wait a moment," Wen-Li said, darting out of her door and into the surrounding village. "Anyone with any experience delivering babies, I'm going to need some help."
Lots of women and a few men raised their hands. "How many of us do you need?" one old woman asked.
Wen-Li looked at all the volunteers. "All of you."
They managed to get Sun to a pond not far from the gym. Her groans and cries of discomfort made wild animals within a two-mile radius run away as she lay in the pool of water and writhed around. Each midwife and doctor that tried to help her could only last a few minutes before being knocked away by Sun's belly or errant kicks. Only Wen-Li remained the entire time, wetting Sun's forehead and telling her soothing things.
"You can do this," Wen-Li said softly. "You are the strongest woman I know."
"This is hard," Sun whimpered, her teeth gritting together. "I-I don't thing I can do it. There's too many of them."
"Sun, listen to me," Wen-Li said, putting her arms around Sun's strong shoulders. "You are like a daughter to me. I will be right here, helping you through, but you need to do this. You need to believe in yourself."
"But it hurts...and I'm so tired," Sun said, tears starting to form in the corner of her eyes.
The first sight of Sun's tears made Wen-Li start crying large streams. "I know but think of how amazing it will be for you to be a mom and be able to teach all your babies Blue Forest Style. You will be a real master, just like me."
Sun let out a howl of pain and turned back to Wen-Li. "But I can't last that long! I can't keep them inside me! They want to come out!"
Wen-Li opened her mouth to try and give Sun more words of encouragement but stopped. "I...what do you mean 'keep them inside you?'"
A big grunt turned Sun's face red as her body doubled over. "I have to keep them in my belly for a whole year. Otherwise, when they're born, they won't be one year old and they'll be underdeveloped!"
Everyone looked at Sun with confusion and Wen-Li sighed and patted her on the back. "No...no that's not how it works."
"It's not?" Sun chirped.
"No...you need to push them out, not...pull them in," Wen-Li said.
"Oh," Sun said, clenching her muscles and looking down at her belly. The closest midwife looked into the water and cupped the head of one of Sun's babies as she pushed it out. In no time, there was a crying baby in her arms and Sun was looking back at it in shock. "W-wow...that was a lot easier."
"You did it," Wen-Li said with a sniffle. "You're a mom."
"And you're a grandma!" Sun giggled. Wen-Li laughed too, taking it as a compliment. "Alright, can't stop now. Time to find out how many babies are inside me."
One year later, Wen-Li sat at a small table while she watched Sun teaching her class. The Blue Forest Style gym was bustling with new students since Sun's exhibition match while she was pregnant and crushed all her opponents. She also modified her curriculum for different types of students and today, she was training all pregnant women with a style she'd developed specifically for women with big bellies. Well, not as big as hers was, but still.
While the young women moved through the movements Sun showed them, letting their round stomachs bounce around in the air, Sun smiled and gave them words of encouragement. Without her pregnant belly, her stomach was now flat and toned, with a clear set of eight-pack abs. Her breasts and butt lost a little bit of volume but were still the size of melons served at the emperor's wedding.
"Okay, now try some light sparring," Sun said to her students. They lined up and the first two put pads on their hands and over their bellies as they began to trade blows and practice what Sun had taught them. Meanwhile, Sun sat with Wen-Li and let out a long sigh. "Teaching sure is hard. I don't know how you ever trained me."
"Neither do I, some days," Wen-Li chuckled as she felt a tug on the hem of her dress. She turned to see one of Sun's daughters crawling on the floor and exploring. "Hello there," she said, lifting the toddler up and sitting her on her lap. "Help me with the names."
"That's Wu-May," Sun said, pouting. "If you're their grandma, you should know their names."
Wen-Li smiled back at Sun and didn't protest. There were dozens of identical boys and girls to keep track of now and names would be tricky. But at least Sun could tell them apart. As Wen-Li bounced the giggling toddler on her knee, she noticed something strange on her skin. Wen-Li poked at some flaking skin behind the girl's ear and saw a few green scales on the other side. "What in the...Sun, Wu-May is sick. We need to take her to a doctor."
"She is?" Sun said, turning to see the scales. "Oh, her scales are just coming through. That's fine."
"That's fine?" Wen-Li said, almost yelling but stopping herself with the baby girl looking up at her.
"Sure, she's half dragon after all," Sun nodded.
"Half...you had sex with a dragon?"
"How do you think I got so big?" Sun giggled, rolling her eyes and tickling her daughter. "You know, for being my master, there are still a lot of things you don't know."
Wen-Li sighed and smiled. "I guess it's true what they say. A good teacher learns from their student."
"Maybe you should start taking classes with me," Sun said, looking up at Wen-Li. "I have one tomorrow for elders."
Wen-Li took a deep breath, thinking about her long life as a martial artist and where it's ended up. "I may take you up on that."

Carrying for the Colony: Extended Gestation
Two weeks after her 19th birthday, Lena dutifully walked into the Ganymede Colony Fertility Center. Citizenship in the 24th Century colony on Jupiter’s largest moon had to be earned through one of several options. It was either three years military service, four years manual labor, or for females, there was the option to serve for three years as a birth mother. It was the same for everyone, regardless of wealth or social status, and by the time the fateful day arrived, most of Ganymede’s young people had made up their minds about which path they wanted to pursue. Lena was a typical girl. She wasn’t un-patriotic, but neither was she persuaded by the propaganda posters making these options seem more glamorous than they clearly were. She just wanted to do her service and get on with her life. Four years seemed way too long, and she hated the idea of being barked at by a drill sergeant. Modern medicine had made childbirth perfectly safe and relatively painless, so serving as a birth

“Fill these out and the doctor will be with you shortly.” The medical assistant slid a clipboard thick with forms through the slot in the window, gaze never leaving her computer. A name-badge that seemed almost limp itself sat on her chest reading “Tracy”.
“Thank you Tracy!” Maria smiled. She turned to find a seat. Maria frowned. She eventually spied an unoccupied loveseat and and waddled over. Her spacious hips grazed the armrests but still sat her easily. Gently lowering her belly, she shivered at the cold floor before plunging head-first into the forms.

[Rapid Pregnancy] More Than She Bargained For
Kristina was a fair-skinned 19 year-old with a long mane of black hair that fell just past her petite chest. Though she had a slender waist that gave her silhouette a pleasant hourglass shape, she was overall not particularly curvy, a source of frequent irritation for her. Kristina was in her bedroom, wearing a black tank top and pair of black underwear that accentuated her petite shape, when she suddenly felt an intense tingling in her chest. As she looked down, she could see that her chest was slowly but visibly swelling outward, her breasts filling out and coming together in the middle to form a distinct line of cleavage. Cleavage! For the first time in her life she had cleavage! Kristina couldn’t help but grin and lifted her hands to her growing breasts, watching as they steadily filled up her palms. “Oh my god!” she exclaimed. “I actually have boobs!” She didn’t know why this was happening, but she was glad that it was. She stood in front of the full-length mirror hanging on
