PPFC 38 - The Sky Sword Technique
“Teacher, why keep staring at students?” Fei Chen put on an uneasy expression as Feng Lao daritadi continued to stare at him.
“No, Chen. Just a few weeks later, you've grown so fast and it looks like Li-Room is getting motivated. It's just that I can feel your heartbeat sound the same as my late son or my late student. Chen, tell me do you have any deep wounds?”
Feng Lao was clearly staring at Fei Chen full of worry. The two old eyeballs depicted sadness and regret.
Actually Fei Chen wanted to inquire about Feng Lao's son Feng Xinrui as well as Feng Lao's late disciple, but Fei Fhen undoes his intentions.
“Teacher, maybe it's time. Forgive if the student says presumptuous, now Master has gained the trust of the student.” Fei Chen smiled faintly and explained to Feng Lao about the condition of his body as well as his past and purpose in living.
Hearing all that Feng Lao's breath came to a halt, before long Feng Lao gripped Fei Chen's two shoulders tightly.
“Chen, you have to stay alive. Just so you know, a great high-skilled swordsman is perfectly natural to have more than one wife. You have to find it before you turn twenty,” Feng Lao said.
Fei Chen told about the condition of his body and it made Feng Lao's eyes teary.
“For the next few months I will train the two of you before I leave the sect to face the Beast Man with the alliance.”
Feng Lao did not make small talk and directly invited Fei Chen and Jia Li to practice.
Within a year, Fei Chen and Jia Li were trained hard by Feng Lao. Not infrequently Jia Li complained while Fei Chen seemed to enjoy the portion of the exercise that was getting heavier.
Fei Chen and Jia Li's physiques were hard forged so that the formation of bones and muscles in the body were both well formed. After training the physiques, the two of them did battle training against Feng Lao and cultivated the art of breath as well as training their souls.
Empty-handed martial arts as well as swordsmanship became their main training. Although Fei Chen and Jia Li were working together, the two of them still could not defeat Feng Lao.
Until not feeling a year had passed, Fei Chen and Jia Li had grown even more rapidly. Fei Chen was now thirteen years old, whereas Jia Li was fifteen years old.
Fei Chen's posture was getting higher and his face was also getting more beautiful, as well as Jia Li who looked more beautiful and sweet and the aura of nobility looked very thick.
“Before leaving, I will teach you both the Sky Sword Technique. Lier has mastered two styles and I will teach this to you too, Chen.”
Feng Lao explained that the Sword Valley had three sword techniques that were the hallmark of this sect. Three of them were the Sky Sword Technique, Sun Sword Technique and Moon Sword Technique.
Each sword technique consists of three moves. Feng Lao had already taught the first and second moves of the Sky Sword Technique, Tearing the Sky and Black Sky.
“Li, try the first and second moves of the Sky Sword Technique.” Feng Lao had Jia Li set an example for Fei Chen.
“Good, Grandpa Feng.” Jia Li came forward and drew his sword before demonstrating the first skill of the Sky Sword Technique called Tearing the Sky.
Jia Li's movement was very gleaming yet powerful. Her swordplay was beautiful and it was obvious that the sweet girl had been training hard for the past few months.
Fei Chen took a good look at Jia Li's swordplay and he knew clearly about Jia Li's hard-training efforts.
After Jia Li finished demonstrating the first skill of the Heaven Sword Technique, Fei Chen seemed to have comprehended the entire sword intent faster than Feng Lao had expected.
For Fei Chen it was more difficult to demonstrate the Hell King Sword Technique than the Sky Sword Technique.
“Bag Li. So have you figured out where Chen is?” Feng Lao had Fei Chen demonstrate the movement Jia Li had just set into motion.
Fei Chen did not take the lead but instead directly demonstrated the first skill of the Sky Sword Technique. Fei Chen's action made Jia Li's breath stop for a moment because it took him a month to master his entire movement but Fei Chen did not get a day or even an hour.
Feng Lao was made to giggle in awe even Luo Rou who was looking from the terrace of the Sky Sword Pavilion was also amazed to see Fei Chen's swordplay.
“Chen.com, you are indeed very talented.”
Feng Lao shook his head after Fei Chen had mastered the first skill of the Sky Sword Technique, Tearing the Sky.
‘Even he demonstrated it more proficiently than the disciples in the Sword Valley. He is the equivalent of an Elder.’ Feng Lao nodded and watched Fei Chen and Jia Li.
Next Feng Lao again had Jia Li demonstrate the second skill of the Sky Sword Technique, Night Sky.
Just like before Fei Chen could master the second skill of the Sky Sword Technique easily.
“Chenchen, are you actually a human or a God? I just studied the Night Sky for two whole months and you.” Jia Li was already so upset that he hit Fei Chen's chest.
Hearing that Jia Li softened, “But I want you to hold back. At least you pretended to be stupid.”
“That's impossible.” Fei Chen flicked Jia Li's forehead making the sweet girl kick her stomach.
Feng Lao who was looking at the behavior of the two shook his head before reprimanding the two to pay attention to himself who was about to demonstrate the final skill of the Sky Sword Technique, the Sky-Waving Lightning Dragon.
When Feng Lao demonstrated the stance, the atmosphere was gripping due to the pressure of the terrifying aura. Feng Lao's swordplay was extremely firm and deadly, leaving Fei Chen and Jia Li stunned to see it.
“These three moves if you improve your skills and continue to hone this technique, then you can fight using a sword as you please. Like a sword if it is not sharp then it will be more blunt, likewise with the three moves earlier if you do not master it perfectly then the style is just an empty attack that can not even kill lowly criminals though.”
Finished demonstrating, Feng Lao said so. Then he had Fei Chen and Jia Li demonstrate the final skill of the Celestial Sword Technique.
It took Fei Chen a day to master it, while Jia Li a week thanks to his hard work that Fei Chen wanted to acknowledge.
Seeing Jia Li's development made Feng Lao smile with pride as Jia Li's potential became increasingly visible thanks to Fei Chen's figure.
Now Fei Chen had reached the Intermediate Level Great Swordsman and Jia Li had reached the Late Stage Emperor Swordsman. Jia Li's development was thanks to his resources and training, whereas Fei Chen was thanks to his talent and the condition of his body.
Just like his edged sword that was the condition of Fei Chen's body. Even Feng Lao became pessimistic because he was three above Fei Chen, an Intermediate Earth Swordsman.
Feng Lao had also heard that Fang Huo just like himself had reached the Intermediate-stage Earth Swordsman.
“Alright, we will not meet in an uncertain time. Take good care of yourself Li-Ther, Chen.” Feng Lao stroked the heads of Jia Li and Fei Chen simultaneously, “I tipped them both, Rou.”
Luo Rou nodded her head gently and replied, “I will take care of them like my own son, Patriarch.”
“Grandfather, do not forget to eat regularly and must be careful during the mission, ” said Jia Li reminded.
“Li, this grandfather of yours is only gone for a moment. You're overreacting.” Feng Lao pinched Jia Li's cheeks and chuckled softly.
“Teacher, bring this.” Fei Chen gave a number of Star Dew Pills to Feng Lao.
Instantly Feng Lao choked even Luo Rou and Jia Li were stunned to see Fei Chen's palm filled with Clear Dew Pills.
“Chen you didn't steal, did you?” asked Feng Lao suspiciously.
“No, Teacher. I made it myself.” Fei Chen explained that as long as he locked himself in the room he learned the recipe for making a Clear Dew Pill.
“One month I can only make him a Clear Dew Pill. Though I should be able to make ten in a day, it seems like I am not talented in the field of medicine.” Fei Chen scratched his head because there was no reaction from Feng Lao.
‘Aday make ten? What did Chen say? Even a medical expert took a year to make one to five Clear Dew Pills and you Chen is able to make two Clear Dew Pills in a month, you are truly a talented genius.’
Feng Lao refused Fei Chen's gift but Fei Chen kept forcing him so Feng Lao accepted it. In order not to arouse suspicion, Fei Chen told Feng Lao, Jia Li and Luo Rou about the resources he had stored in the Space Ring when he had escaped death during the massacre.
The three trusted Fei Chen's story and in the end Feng Lao received Fei Chen's Clear Dew Pill before saying goodbye.
After Feng Lao's departure, Fei Chen and Luo Rou chatted. Luo Rou taught Fei Chen about kindness even the woman did not want Fei Chen to be arrogant because of his genius and always respectfully be polite to the elder.
“Aunt Luo, I must choose an adult who deserves my respect.” Fei Chen's reply made Luo Rou squeeze her hair.
“Cannot be like that, Chen.”
“All depends on the way they treat me, Aunt Luo.” Fei Chen smiled and made Luo Rou sigh.
“Aunt Luo..”.
“What's up?”
Luo Rou looked at Fei Chen's face which looked like a grieving child. Although it was only a glance but Luo Rou clearly saw Fei Chen's sad expression before changing into a smile.
“Aunt Luo, if I make a mistake and act improperly, please scold and temper me like my late mother did.”
After saying that Fei Chen left leaving Luo Rou who was smiling kindly staring at his back.
“She wants to feel affection..“ Luo Rou muttered softly and understood Fei Chen's feelings of longing for the old man's affection.
