Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 187 — Back Practice II
"Yuan'er, it looks like your strength is increasing huh?" Yun Feiyu raised his eyebrows when he realized the aura emanating from Zhou Yuan's body felt stronger than it had been three days ago.
Zhou Yuan nodded, "This is all thanks to the Moon Orchid plant that Aunt has given me, before I had extracted it into my body."
Yun Feiyu grumbled his head, "In the cranial forest not far from this residence, there are many Moon Orchids and Sun Orchids growing up, if I'm gonna be there, maybe I'll take a look for them and bring some for you."
Zhou Yuan was surprised, if only Yun Feiyu's words were truly real then his martial growth could increase far enough quickly.
"Xiaxia, do you need that orchid plant?" Yun Feiyu asked turned to Linxia.
Linxia nodded, "Both are the most precious resource plants, I don't intend to burden Auntie if it's burdensome."
"I don't mind Xia'er, I'll bring it for you as well."
Zhou Yuan looked puzzled, he felt Yun Feiyu regard the Sun Orchid and Moon Orchid as plants that were not very important to him.
"Auntie, don't the two plants have very high properties for the swordsman, in my place they are highly sought after for their benefits but why does Aunt seem not interested in the two orchids?" Zhou Yuan asked in confusion.
"Hm, it would be very long to tell..." Yun Feiyu stroked her chin, "In short like this, as I said before that the martial level between this world and yours is very different, as well as the warriors within it. For warriors in your world maybe the Orchid Moon plant is very valuable because your body actually needs the benefits but here, Orchid Moon or Sun is not much different from ordinary ornamental plants."
Yun Feiyu explained that if he consumed the Moon Orchid like Zhou Yuan did, then the resource plant would not have any impact on him because the body structure and dantian he and Zhou Yuan were different.
"In your world, the natural essence that the body absorbs will form what is called 'deep energy' right? As for me, Lian'er, as well as the inhabitants of this world, the absorbed essence of nature will form a kind of 'Qi'."
Zhou Yuan scratched his nose, he became even more confused.
Yun Feiyu smiled seeing Zhou Yuan still did not understand, "Qi is another kind of 'deep power' but it is much more perfect and pure, you will not understand it now and it will be long if it is told, but it will be, it's better for now that we focus on practicing first."
Zhou Yuan nodded, maybe sooner or later he will understand the system in this world considering he will live long here.
"Yuan'er, seeing you carry a sword seems like the point of your ability is to sword. Then we'll practice the match first, I want to see how far your sword skills go." Feiyu gave instructions by unsheathing his wooden sword.
Zhou Yuan hesitated a little, the sword sheathed on his waist was the heirloom of the kusanagi sword, using it as an exercise was too dangerous.
"Auntie, I'll go make a wooden sword first..." Zhou Yuan thought it would be safer to practice with an artificial sword considering Yun Feiyu was using a wooden sword.
"What wooden sword, no need, you just use the gagged sword, don't worry I have enough strength to hold it."
Zhou Yuan still felt doubtful but seeing Yun Feiyu give the cue once more, he had no other choice but to take out the kusanagi sword from its sheath.
"Oh, you have a pretty good sword too, Yuan'er..." Yun Feiyu slightly reacted when he sensed the unusual aura of the kusanagi sword.
"Auntie, are you sure I should use this sword?" Zhou Yuan asked once more, all this time no one had managed to survive the sharpness of the sword Kusanagi.
Zhou Yuan sighed, not saying much anymore he immediately shortened the distance between the two before swinging his sword at Yun Feiyu.
Zhou Yuan used his skills in sword arts, appearing to be extremely agile and having a variety of complicated movements.
Yun Feiyu dodged every attack of Zhou Yuan easily without the slightest difficulty.
"Yuan'er are you holding back your power, like I said I want to see your sword skills." Yun Feiyu reprimanded once more knowing that Zhou Yuan was not seriously attacking him.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly because the woman could notice it quickly, Zhou Yuan was actually a little worried that if he used the real power Yun Feiyu would get hurt but on the other hand he was curious about how strong the woman was.
After solidifying his heart, Zhou Yuan then changed his attack pattern and exerted a deep force on the sword of Kusanagi, this time Zhou Yuan used his elemental sword technique.
Zhou Yuan's attack speed increased rapidly as well as having unpredictable movements, Yun Feiyu began to feel a significant difference in Zhou Yuan's strength. .
Yun Feiyu's expression was filled with shock as well as Bailian's, the two women did not think Zhou Yuan would have such a high sword ability.
In terms of strength, Yun Feiyu was aware of Zhou Yuan's extremely weak strength but in terms of ability, he had not expected for a dozen years old that Zhou Yuan's sword technique was already this level.
Yun Feiyu could see not only Zhou Yuan using his sword techniques he also accompanied him with his battle experience.
Someone who does so is usually those who already have a lot of experience fighting life and death.
"Element Sword Technique — Wave Sword!"
Zhou Yuan poured a considerable amount of deep power into his sword then swung it very quickly and strongly.
Yun Feiyu was slightly surprised that the swing was so different and more powerful, he then stopped dodging and raised his wooden sword to resist the attack.
Zhou Yuan smiled cynically, thinking Kusanagi's sword could cut him off easily but in reality made Zhou Yuan's eyes widen.
Not only was it not cut but the sword of Kusanagi could not even make the wooden sword blister in the slightest.
Kusanagi sword that can cut heirlooms easily and split his opponent's body like tofu must now be stopped by a wooden sword that does not seem to have any quality.
"How can..." Zhou Yuan was surprised, his heart almost stopped when he saw the incident.
Yun Feiyu chuckled as if enjoying Zhou Yuan's shock. "I told you that you don't have to worry about Yuan'er, no matter how sharp your sword won't hurt me." Yun Feiyu puffed out her chest with pride.
Zhou Yuan did not reply because he still did not believe the matter just now. He looked at the sword Kusanagi in his hand and began to think it seemed like the sword of darkness had started to dull.
