Chapter 59: Ch. 29 Part 1

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The clanging sounds of metals clashing together resonated. Two people clashed one making movements and attacking from all sides wielding two long and average looking daggers. The other stood in place calmly wielding a long sword as he defend off the incoming attacks of the one with daggers. Xiao Ling leaped head on intending to strike from above, Yanzhi decisively raised up his sword and easily blocked the attack midair. He smirked with a smug look, Xiao Ling added more strength pushing down on Yanzhi. Yanzhi easily pried away Xiao Ling’s daggers throwing him off with great strength. Xiao Ling landed about 10 feet’s away from him in a squatting position with his daggers stuck in the ground using that as support from falling flat. His remained still with his chest raising up and down panting as he catch his breath, but his eyes still remained vigilantly on Yanzhi watching intently in oder not to suffer a surprise attack.

".....big....big sister was mistress always this strong?" Liu asked Yue who was by her side as they watched their master and mistress spar. Jinghua and doctor Shi also stood not far from them as they watch such a spectacular spar between two strong people. Jinghua and doctor Shi now were firmed in their believes that Xiao Ling was also a master martial artist in disguise, they looked at the couple with envious eyes. An immortal cultivator and a master martial artist, wasn’t it a powerhouse family. They were leaning to absorb qi from heaven and earth not long when they heard the clashing sounds of metals, Liu had them stopped and quickly hurried to where the clanging sounds came from. They were met with Yanzhi and Xiao Ling who exchanging strikes and Yue, Mei Lin, Ling, Feng and the Lu’s who had come back from the building site watching their master and mistress spar. Shock and bewilderment was the only expression they all had including Chang and Baihu who were still in their punishment. Yue was the only one amongst them who wasn’t as shocked as them but all the same she had a somewhat shocked expression.

Yue glanced at Liu after hearing her question, she swept through her siblings and doctor Shi and Jinhua who looked at her excited and anticipation waiting for her to answer Liu’s question. Since she was with Yanzhi and Xiao Ling months before them she would know best. Yue sighed "don’t you already know mistress’s identify? You’ve already seen the strength of big brother Bee" she simple answered, because there were strangers amongst them she didn’t want to go into details. Her siblings nodded perplex, amongst them only Baihu and Mei Lin didn’t know what they were talking about as well as doctor Shi and Jinhua who were confused and completely lost. "I know but i didn’t know that mistress would be this strong!" Lin said proud of their mistress. Yue gave him an amused look "what do you mean.... when big brother Bee who’s also silver core like us is much more stronger than us. Then how come his master wouldn’t be far more stronger, and since you didn’t know this. Let me tell you mistress is golden core!" just as Yue’s words ended making them all gasped "deit..." Chang’s sprouted earning a warning glare from Yue making his words cut short. Doctor Shi and Jinhua who saw that they were talking in puzzle got the hint that what they were discussing wasn’t meant for others who weren’t family to know since it was an important information which was involving Xiao Ling’s true identity.

Remembering the warning words of Yanzhi to them not to pry, they both knew not to ask or be interested in such a topic. While all the disciples at present understood Yue’s unspoken words except for Baihu and Mei Lin, the Lu’s who were present when Yanzhi explained of the cultivation path knew of that information. "Elder sister was that the reason you stopped me earlier" Liu asked. "That wasn’t the only reason..... mistress....he is very scary when he’s angry and I’ve witnessed it. He terrified me, he was covered with an eerieness screaming of death" Yue spoke recalling what she witness, she felt the shivers and ghostly feeling from before. The rest also shivered from her words setting their sights on Xiao Ling who on normal days had the temperament of a naive and docile youngster, but now sparring with Yanzhi he’s demeanor was serious and cold.

"Little wife are you tired already?" Yanzhi asked with a smile as he watched the youngster who remained squatting with his eyes solely on him. "No! I’m just assessing first!" Xiao Ling answered with enthusiasm and determinations making YanZhi chuckled lightly. "Little wife you’re indeed strong...but your movements and actions leaves much to desire. Too many pointless and excessive actions, your movements are messy and not corresponding.. Little wife no matter how strong you are, you’re considered weak and an amateur if you don’t know how to wield the blade well and your movements and actions are this messy!" Yanzhi gave his evaluation truthfully and coldly with a calm expression, stating facts and not leaving anything out. He was such that he would state the fact even if it meant hurting a person’s self esteem, what if he hide the facts and left the person thinking he was doing everything right and in the end looses his life in lies and overconfidence. And the problem now was with Xiao Ling, Yanzhi would prefer to let Xiao Ling know his flaws and correct them. Yue and the rest hearing Yanzhi’s cold and harsh words were stunned, speechless and dumbfounded. They didn’t think Yanzhi would say such words to Xiao Ling so easily without battling an eye, Xiao Ling who was degraded mercilessly didn’t have the same thoughts as those pitying him. He was glad that Yanzhi didn’t hide his flawless and rather told him, that way him (XL) would correct it and not be cut down one day by his blind confidence.

"En!" Xiao Ling nodded, "i understand... i don’t know the basics and there are a lot of flaws in my movements. I charge in continuously without a thought... i-i don’t know how to fight well." Xiao Ling stated without feeling embarrassed or shy about it. Yanzhi smiled, he was starting to like Xiao Ling more and more as they lived together. To be able to admit one’s mistakes and flaws without feeling embarrassed about it, how admirable. "Truly, little wife’s flaws are too many. It was my mistake to have not thought about it previously, since little wife’s spiritual energy was abundant i was short sighted. But do not worry i Yanzhi will help you correct all your flaws and make you stronger than any other monarchs, this is my promise to you as a god!" Yanzhi said with himself held high overflowing with confidence and shining with elegance and grace like the god he is. Xiao Ling smiled brightly and stood up on his feet "en Xiong gong, thank you! I’ve never learnt to fight before, i had to pick up the blades in oder to survive and protect myself. I had no teacher to teach and guide me." he said reminiscing of his past life.

This made the people hearing it look at him with bewilderment and full of praise. "Little wife is truly commendable, you have my praise and awe of your strong will. For a mortal to reach the heights you’ve reached now, it’s truly worth looking forward to see how more you can grow." Yanzhi was full of praise of him making him embarrassed. "Let’s go for one more round, but this time around little wife.....i won’t hold back. And also use all the technique i just taught you and the ones which you’ve already learnt, because this time around i will cut you when my blade reaches you so do well to defend yourself as well as try to inflict equal damage on me" Yanzhi said as his demeanor suddenly changed from carefree to serious, Xiao Ling nodded. The rest sucked in their breaths with their attentions on Yanzhi and Xiao Ling. ’Qi flows exactly like mana, cover my daggers with mana...’ Xiao Ling thought with his eyes closed taking in deep calming breaths. After a minute or so his eyes suddenly opened with the fire of determination burning in them, he felt the qi which clothed his daggers.

[Ding! Ding! Ding!

User has used skill, Sword Aura S rank.]

[Description

Xiao Ling smiled, after Yanzhi taught him the sword qi technique and the system ranked it, it turn out to be an S rank skill. He was belated even though he couldn’t yet harness all it’s power now.

"Here i come!" he announced and ran towards Yanzhi, he striked from the left which was easily pried off by Yanzhi. "You’re making unnecessary movements, assess your opponent, find their weak point and strike from there." Yanzhi stated and strike back, Xiao Ling tried blocking but was thrown away falling on the ground with a thud. He groaned bitting hard on his lips to suppress the painful moans which were trying to escaped his lips. He scurried back to his feet from the ground looking down at his hands which wouldn’t stop shaking from the impact with Yanzhi’s sword. "Little wife no relaxing, come at me again" Yanzhi ordered and he nodded. In training Yanzhi was like a different person who didn’t take relationships into consideration, he was a master and he taught and spoke as one. Xiao Ling firmed his grip on the daggers, this time around he chose not to charge in carelessly but assess Yanzhi well. "Clang!" he barely blocked as Yanzhi’s figure suddenly appeared behind him striking at him, "Ugh! hiss" Xiao Ling leaped back putting in distance between them. He sucked in his breaths and coughed out a mouth full blood, his left arm had an open cut which wasn’t very deep but still would hindrance him as well as suffered an internal damage. He spit out the blood and wiped his lips staining the corners of his mouth with blood. Thankfully he was able to invade Yanzhi’s surprise attack but wasn’t able to avoid damage, shock and bewilderment was written all over his face. Yanzhi’s attack was fast and hidden, he wasn’t able to even tell when Yanzhi got to his back if not the warning from his clone which was hidden in his shadow and that too the warning came late.

"Herh~ that’s an interesting shadow you have there" Yanzhi said amused, Xiao Ling’s eyes widened shocked. How did Yanzhi notice, he couldn’t tell. "If you won’t come at me then I’ll come at you, your opponent won’t give you the time to assess him" Yanzhi disappeared from sight as soon as his words fell. This action left him tensed up but he didn’t let it cloud his judgements, he stood guard and vigilant as he watched sides from sides turning to any sound which was caught by his ears. "Ugh!" Xiao Ling groaned as he felt a cut out of nowhere on his tight, bleeding profoundly.

[Ding! Ding! Ding!

User has been affected by a debuff, player can no longer use the skill shadow clone!]

’What?’ he was perplexed by the system’s notification.

"How can you get distracted in your situation, when you don’t know when the next attack of your opponent will be!" a flash by the clear sword appeared at his neck, luckily he was able to avoid getting his neck sliced, he was able to get away with a small cut on his cheeks. Yanzhi re-appeared again facing him with cold face. "Listen to the sounds around you, open up your senses to your surroundings, your surroundings are also your aid so listen to the changes around you" Yanzhi informed and he nodded. His face was starting to look pale as he was loosing a lot of blood making his vision blurry, but Xiao Ling’s will power was strong so he wouldn’t let such small wounds inconvenient him. He has suffered much worse wounds than this fighting monsters, but that had never prevented him from doing his best to survive.

"Mistress.... he isn’t looking good, he’ll die at this rate. Won’t master stop now?!" Feng said concerned, the disciples were depressed with how the training of their master and mistress was going, it seemed as if this time around Yanzhi wasn’t concerned about Xiao Ling which hurt their hearts but they could but only watch and unable to voice out their thoughts.

’Qi can be used to do a lot of things’ Xiao Ling suddenly recalled Yanzhi’s words from before. He calmed his tensed up and nervous self down, materialized his qi and clothed himself with it as he fused his qi with his senses. After doing that the world and his surrounding seemed to have changed, his vision seemed to have opened more, his sense of smell was much better and his hearing. Listening on carefully he was able to hear even the smallest sounds made by insects from miles and miles away from him.
