LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episode 69's. Fire Soul burners
2 Years later.
Sakte thousand swords was the strongest sakte of the Wei imperial white stream which had disciples totaling 3000 people with 1500 of them being outer disciples, 1000 inner disciples, and 500 core disciples.
Sakte thousand swords itself was located in the northern part of the Wei empire and stood near a large city called Heihan city.
The core disciples of a thousand swords had at least the strength equivalent to diamond level swordsmen and there were also some who already had the strength of soul swordsmen as well as the core disciples who were ranked 100 and above there as well who already had the strength of a king and senior swordsman.
Another case with flat inner disciples are at the level of gold warriors and some have the strength of diamond level warriors.
As for the outer disciples that numbered 3000 disciples or more, it had the strength of a bronze swordsman to the strength of a gold swordsman.
The head of the thousand swordsman himself was a great swordsman who had the peak ability of a holy swordsman named Zhao Zhang who was often dubbed as a swordsman of a thousand swordsmen.
The thousand sword sakte also had the 10 strongest sword elders who had their respective posts.
Once every 3 years, a thousand-sword sakte would send its representatives to every city in the Wei empire to recruit talented new disciples to join the thousand-sword sakte.

Zhao Zhang Residence.
Zhao Zhang's residence is the largest building of the thousand swords sake and is located right in the middle of the thousand swords sake region.
In addition to a large building, zhao Zhang's residence also built a battle area that was usually used by the thousand sword sakte core disciples if one challenged to determine who was worthy of being in the top rank position.
In addition to being used by core disciples, the battle arena was also usually used by special disciples recruited by Zhao Zhang to practice or just do battle training.
Seen an elderly man dressed as a healer was visiting at the residence of the chairman of the thousand swords, sake thousand swords, who else would it be if it wasn't Shen Yu who 2 Years ago had just joined the thousand-sword sakte.
The few special disciples who were training inside Zhao Zhang's residence who were aware of Shen Yu's presence suddenly saluted him.
"Murid sakte saluted elder Shen Yu." Say them simultaneously.
Shen Yu simply nodded softly in response to them before asking about Zhao Zhang.
"Is your teacher inside?" Shen Yu asked them.
"Older, he's been waiting for you since." Answer one of the students.
"Hmm okay, continue your training." Said Shen Yu before stepping into Zhao Zhang's residential building.
Arriving inside, Shen Yu found Zhao Zhang who was currently sitting cross-legged absorbing the natural energy with his eyes closed.
Soon enough, Zhao Zhang who noticed Shen Yu's presence now began to open his eyes and found Shen Yu standing before him.
"Greetings to the chairman, is there anything important you want to talk to me about?" Said Shen Yu while saluting him.
"Hmm elder Shen, I know you have now opened the eighth gate in the stage of the holy swordsman, and soon you will rise to the next level, but why do you still behave this formal to me." Zhao Zhang said.
Although Shen Yu only served as an accuracy teacher in the sake of a thousand swords, but Shen Yu's level of strength was far above Zhao Zhang's strength which currently had the strength of a 9-star saint swordsman and had already opened 4 gates.
"Zhao Zhang, although I am stronger than you, but the chairman is still the chairman, I can't possibly be disrespectful to you instead" Shen Yu replied.
"Oh yeah, what exactly was there until you called me here?" Shen Yu asked.
"Hmm actually I want to talk about the spiritual fire core spirit that is inside the sakte training tower." Zhao Zhang said as he got out of place and walked towards a table not far from the two.
"Have those spiritual fire spirits gotten more and more out of control lately?" Shen Yu asked as he walked following Zhao Zhang.
"You're right elder Yu, the soul-burning fire spirit (rank 10) was sealed by the previous chief of a thousand swords, but now the previous chief is dead, somehow I'll control the soul-burning fire if the seal that locks it is destroyed."
Zhao Zhang let out a heavy sigh after saying that, he then poured wine on the two glasses that had been available on the table and invited Shen Yu to sit down and have a drink with him.
Shen Yu then sat down with Zhao Zhang and grabbed a glass filled with wine and started drinking it.
"Hmm this is no ordinary matter, but. If it does happen then I will definitely help you, I can't possibly let my old friend bear this heavy burden myself." Said Shen Yu with a warm smile.
"Thank you, man, you are my true friend." Zhao Zhang poured the wine back into the two glasses on the table and without a doubt the two went back to drinking it with a single gulp.

The Ling Clan Residence.
Two years have finally passed, Ling Yan who was 13 years old and still as tall as half an adult has now grown up almost to the height of his father.
Thanks to the training as well as the celestial path science he had learned, Ling Yan was currently already ascending to the level of a 9-star diamond swordsman, already, ling Yan's development did look slow because in two years it could only go up by 1 tier.
But actually Ling's development in these two years is not slow, but to become a swordsman, a swordsman must open 25 small Meridians in his body first in order to purify his soul power.
In the past 2 years, Ling Yan had already managed to open as many as 17 small Meridians in his body, he said, this development is fairly fast because finding and opening small Meridian points in the body is the most difficult thing to do by a swordsman.
Like Ling Han for example, Ling Han broke through the diamond swordsman level at the age of 35 and finally broke through the swordsman level after the age of 45.
This was because it took him quite a long time to open his 25 small meridians and purify the soul power he possessed.
Ling Yan who was currently sitting cross-legged slowly began to open his eyes and get up from his training.
"Hmm it's been 2 years but I just managed to open 18 small meridians on my body, opening them is indeed easy, but looking for small Meridian points in the body is very difficult to do."
Ling Yan clucked in annoyance and judged his current training progression to be so slowed down that it even looked like there was not the slightest development.
"Haha! you should be grateful you've managed to open 18 tiny meridians in your body in 2 years." The eternal flame.
"Truly sir, yes, it used to be that master Shen Long who had broken through the power above the holy swordsman alone took 7 years to open his 25 little Meridians was arguably the talent that master Ling Yan had currently above master Shen Long's." The flame of life justifies the word eternal fire.
"Hahh but still I feel my development is so degenerate at the end of this." Ling Yan lowered his head in lethargy after saying that.
"Heheh! master Ling Yan is indeed so impatient, if master does want to open the master's small meridians quickly, I have one way that master Shen Long used to use first." The heavenly sacred fire spirit spoke from within Ling Yan's mind.
