1314: A Thousand Peonies Bloom
The Dragon Sword Dance

“Now you notice the patterns on this floor, all consisting of 5 element elements, 9 planets, and 12 zodiacs,” clearly Liko while showing the pattern on the floor that they are currently incandescent to Shuwan. The pattern formed a large circle, with 2 dragons coiling inside.

“In this great circle, a black dragon carries the moon, and the other a white dragon carries the sun. Both will react to calling a locked soul if you successfully complete the dance,” continued Liko.

Shuwan who had been silent had started to speak, “This seems quite complicated. It must have taken a long time to master it. Will I be able to master it in time?” His heart became doubtful, after seeing the patterns on the floor.

“Stupid! Are you just going to give up? I thought you were a persistent and hopeless girl. But, what is this? It is better before saying such pitiful words, you remember your purpose in coming to this world,” said Liko plainly. He tried to galvanize Shuwan mentally so as not to be weak and give up easily.

Shuwan remembers his grandfather, and also his older brother who is now waiting for him to come home. Shuwan who had been bowed then straightened his head, and looked at Liko, “Thank you, for reminding me back,” he said with a smile.

“Then I will exemplify it to completion, then next you must follow step by step. Can master it sooner or later, it all depends on your determination,” said Liko who after walking to the starting point to perform dance movements.

Liko started from 5 elements, namely fire (huu), earth (t), metal (jin), water (shuiI), and wood (malu).

Next is the pattern of the 9 planets in the solar system, consisting of Mercury (Shuixing), Venus (Jinxinng), Earth (Diqiu), Mars (Huexinng), Jupiter (Mxinng), Saturn (Txinng), and others, Uranus (Tianngxin), Neptune (Holland), and Pluto (Minngxinng).

The last pattern is 12 shio, namely rats (shu), buffalo (niu), tigers (hu), rabbits (tento), dragons (long), snakes (she), horses (hang), goats (yang), and others, monkey (hou), chicken (ji), dog (gyu), and babi (zhu).

Although the body of the Liko cat is not much different from the cat in general, but he can move so smoothly. Dance movements are not much different from Taijijian, only there are some parts that are so complicated to do. Am I really able to finish it as soon as possible? Inner Shuwan after observing the movements exemplified by Liko.

After finishing doing so, Liko approached Shuwan. “I should exemplify the Dragon Sword Dance. Now I'll train you slowly. Follow my movements from behind,” said Liko.

“Alright, I'll follow you. So, please order it, Shifu!” Shuwan replied approvingly with both hands that he clenched together while bowing as a sign of respect.

Shuwan follows Liko's movements, but she has trouble moving on to the next pattern. Shuwan falls repeatedly, and he scolds Liko for focusing on her training.

“Ah... It turns out that this is exhausting. Though I saw you so easy to step,” complained Shuwan while leaning his back against the wall. He was exhausted after training all day.

“It is a process. You still have a lot to learn, that way later you will get used to the move to each pattern, Liko brief”. “After this, I will train your physique. I know you understand martial arts. But, soulless martial will also only be a pseudo-power,” Liko brightened after seeing the potential on Shuwan.

“Se-after this? Don't we need a break? I just feel a little tired today,” Shuwan said with a slightly disappointed face.

Liko just sighed, “Alright, tonight rest first. Tomorrow I will wake you up early for physical training,” replied Liko who also felt that Shuwan was experiencing serious fatigue.

“Good. Then I sleep first,” Shuwan short while laying his body on the floor where the lost palace. It's pretty cold in here. Zhang, Jiao, Yu Hao, are you guys okay there? Wait for me, I'll set you free soon. Shuwan also fell asleep.

Liko sits next to Shuwan and meditates all night.

Those who are in the ground, do not know for sure when it is day and night. Just a preconception of continuing to survive in the dark underground.

Next day... “Hey, miss... Be aware. We have to practice soon,” said Liko while beating Shuwan's cheek with her foot.

Shuwan just shook his head to hear someone calling him. Out of annoyance, Liko decides to bite Shuwan's hand.

“Aduh..!” shuwan shouted in pain. He finally woke up from his sleep, “Can't you be gentle a little while waking people up?” shuwan asked annoyed.

“People who sleep like the dead, how can be awakened in a subtle way?” answer Liko.

“You!” Shuwan is still upset with Liko.

Shuwan recalled and realized it. Again I was negligent. Nevermind! I had to master the dance immediately, in order to save my friends. Inner Shuwan.

Eventually, Shuwan is trained so hard by Liko. Starting from physical endurance, to horses.

Because of his determination, Shuwan has managed to give the soul to the martial arts he mastered. Including playing the sword.

Todak feels that Shuwan has entered the 4th day. Now it had arrived for him to try the Dragon Sword Dance without a guide.

Amidst her struggle of memorizing patterns and movements, Liko yelled at her. “Focus! Don't think about anything else. Let your soul flow naturally in every movement,” said Liko.

It's been 4 days that I've been training, it should be successful this time. Inner Shuwan. He began to enter his focal point.

A pair of dragons dancing on the clouds

Flying brings two lights of life

On the earth of war, a warrior brought a dance

To awaken the soul to fulfill the call

Shuwan successfully completes his dance. The image of the dragon on the floor gave off a golden-colored light that filled the entire palace. His eyes were unable to pierce through what was behind that light. I can't see anything. This light is too glare. Inner Shuwan.

Slowly, the light faded. There was a shadow of a woman with long white hair, all in black.

“What you see now is the soul of the psychic owner of the heirloom,” said Liko who suddenly and startled Shuwan.

“Can you not surprise me?” ask Shuwan.

“Of course not, it's my nature to make others shocked,” said Liko cengengesan.

Shuwan threw away his face with an annoyed face. He looked straight back at the fading light, and looked at the soul before him at this moment. The psychic's soul was becoming clearer, and instead looked like it was still alive with its body.

“Did you call me?” ask the soul suddenly.

Shuwan answered him half stuttered, “I-iya. It was me who called you here.”

The soul turned around and looked at Shuwan, “Are your friends confined inside here?” tanyakanya.

Shuwan bowed, “You're right, my friends have made a mistake by opening your coffin without permission. To that end, I beg you, please release them,” Shuwan further lowered his back as proof of his sincere plea.

“He is the boy who will free you from the bonds of this world, Yue,” said Liko breaking the awkwardness.

Yue, the psychic then smiled, “So apparently, then I will release them immediately. After this, I need the help of this girl to destroy her navel,” Yue explained.

“You take it easy, Madam. I will do my best, as long as my friends are free and in good condition,” Shuwan replied confidently.

Then, Yue prepared to unseal the chest. As for Shuwan, he continued to be on standby near Yue if at any time he needed his help.
