Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.122 - Stone Warrior

Fu Chen felt that his body and mind had become fresher after he studied the Dou Huang's handbook. He seemed to be able to understand everything new easily.

Dou Huang said that it was caused by the pure qi in Fu Chen's body. According to the experience of Dou Huang, at least ten percent of pure qi strength was equated to forty percent of general qi strength.

That power would be terrifying if used in the right way. In the previous Dou Huang life, only a handful of people had pure qi, if counted including himself and the Devil those people were no more than ten.

Fu Chen as if he had the enlightenment of hearing it, he grew even more eager to study the book. However, he needed to adapt to his strength now.

Because he felt that the book was very useful Fu Chen also named it the Book of Springs. Fu Chen named him so because he felt fit, he himself felt like he had a new life after understanding the contents of the book.

The Book of Springs explained that after entering the realm of the Combat General, a swordsman should at least train one of their muscle types. Red muscle and white muscle.

Both types of muscles have their own roles, such as Fu Chen. Unknowingly all this time he has been training his red muscles to increase endurance, although not too significant. This muscle is very useful for storing more energy in the long run.

While training white muscles is useful for increasing body strength, white muscles actually affect body size. A person who focuses on training white muscles will have a sturdy body like a wrestler.

Knowing that Fu Chen was a little aware, reaching the realm of a late stage Combatant General within a month was impossible, Fu Chen would at least need four months or so to achieve it without any risk.

The day continued, Fu Chen did not care about Dou Huang's orders urging him to immediately reach the final stage as soon as possible. Fu Chen knew very well the risks involved if he obeyed Dou Huang's words.

For Fu Chen it was useless to have high strength if it weighed on his body. From the book that Fu Chen had read, he knew one could experience paralysis just because his body was unable to keep up with the strength he had.

Meanwhile Dou Huang had indeed wanted to see Fu Chen's decision now, from the very beginning Dou Huang had planned to stop educating Fu Chen if the young man was indeed infatuated with strength.

"It's been almost two months and his body has undergone many changes. Do I need to improve my training again?"

Dou Huang observed Fu Chen while stroking his white beard. So far he felt quite satisfied with what Fu Chen showed, the boy seemed to say all the exercises that a Dou Huang gave him were nothing.

In the space of nearly two months that Fu Chen had managed to increase his cultivation and physical strength simultaneously.

At the moment Fu Chen's cultivation had reached the intermediate stage Combat General, his development was certainly incomparable to that of an ordinary swordsman, even his current self having been able to keep up with a late stage Combatant General.

Dou Huang had actually adjusted his training given Fu Chen's young age. Dou Huang was quite certain that the training should have been enough to torture even a late stage Combat General.

In that short vulnerable time Fu Chen and Dou Huang's relationship was also getting closer, yet Feng Bian still held his pride to not interfere with lowly human affairs like theirs.

"Teacher, can you make more Stone Warriors again?" Fu Chen wiped away the sweat that came out from his forehead, he had just crushed ten Dou Huang-made stone warriors.

"Huh that's right.." Dou Huang grimaced softly, he had created dozens of middle-stage Combat General-level stone warriors as Fu Chen's training partner. But Fu Chen was able to defeat them in just a few days.

Dou Huang was a little hesitant to make more stone warriors, his soul strength had been greatly reduced as it continued to be used during these two months, "Hm, alright, well, this time I'll make it a lot stronger than before."

Dou Huang took a heavy breath, perhaps after this he would have to take a nap for the sake of recovering his soul strength. However, before the stone warrior Dou Huang could form suddenly a loud clashing sound made Fu Chen aghast.

"Don't ruin my place again with that toy of yours, motherfucker! Get out of here and find a big place!" Feng Bian used qi on his voice, making the entire cave tremble violently.

"Yes..all right, all right! You chatty fox! What are you proud of from this narrow cave!" Dou Huang swung his lips in a dowel.

"Go!!" Feng Bian again snapped, his residence became a mess since the arrival of the two humans who did not know themselves.

"Son, it seems like we can't be here anymore," Dou Huang put on a sad face and went ahead of Fu Chen. Fu Chen looked at Feng Bian and Dou Huang in turn, he raised both shoulders for a moment and went after Dou Huang.

"That fucking asshole.Look at me I'll get back at you someday!"

**

"Huft." Fu Chen muttered softly.

His body had been soaked in sweat, Fu Chen had even taken off his clothes to let his sweat out optimally. His opponent this time was really difficult to defeat, even after he used some martial arts though.

Dou Huang used the rocks from the outer wall of the cave to make the stone warriors. Make the rocks on the right and left side of the mouth of the cave with large holes. Feng Bian was furious to realize, his aura overflowing to the exit of the cave but Dou Huang only ignored the fox.

Fu Chen was extremely overwhelmed against that stone warrior, he had unleashed a wide variety of martial techniques yet the stone warrior was as if able to recover his shattered body parts.

Fu Chen did require a strong opponent to bring out his potential, this match practice was also useful for Fu Chen to increase his red muscle ability.

"Son, don't you want a break? I just caught a boar, very rarely do I offer food to others, so don't miss this opportunity."

Dou Huang was sitting on a fairly large tree branch, his right hand was seen holding a twig that was thrust into the pork, while his left hand was letting out a fire to roast the meat.

Dou Huang did so to fill the void while controlling the stone warriors that Fu Chen was fighting. Any food that entered the mouth of a Dou Huang would eventually just glide freely and fall to the ground.

Fu Chen's body bounced far away while being hit by the stone warrior's chest. He only stopped when his body hit a tree to make the tree fall. Fu Chen held his stomach while grimacing softly, his ribs felt like they were about to break from the attack.

Although the movement of the stone warrior was not too fast but its strength was truly terrifying. A single blow from him alone could be fatal, Dou Huang seemed to have also placed some kind of special move on the stone warrior in order for him to have a certain attack pattern.

Fu Chen got up with a stagger, he tried to keep his eyes open by blinking somehow. His gaze began to blur, it seemed like Fu Chen had reached his limit after fighting a full day with that stone warrior, he had exerted all his abilities.

Dou Huang smiled in satisfaction, not for Fu Chen but for his stone warriors. That stone warrior was one of his homemade techniques in the past, Dou Huang had never tried it in battle yet he did not expect that the stone warrior would be so powerful against Fu Chen.

The day continued, without feeling Fu Chen had been asleep for three days. The young man had indeed been pushing himself too much lately to make his body lack of rest.

While Dou Huang took advantage of that three days to recover his soul strength that had been reduced.he also occasionally increased the ability of that stone warrior, Dou Huang wanted to see how far his stone warrior ability could develop, he said, this would probably be the greatest achievement during his career as a spirit.

Fu Chen felt his head slightly dizzy as he woke up, he smiled wryly upon seeing Dou Huang smashing the rocks around the mouth of the cave while grinning widely.

Fu Chen could feel a terrifying aura emanating from within the cave, Dou Huang seemed to be deliberately provoking Feng Bian because he realized the fox could not freely move.

After some time Dou Huang quickly cleared his throat slowly and approached Fu Chen. Dou Huang immediately switched the conversation when Fu Chen asked his reason for destroying the cave.

"What about your body today?" asked Dou Huang.

"I think it's okay, I'll continue my training after one more hour's rest." Fu Chen tilted his head left and right while taking a slow breath.

"No. You better keep resting for the next few days, too much self-imposing is also not good for your body." Dou Huang shook his head slowly, "Maybe the day after tomorrow I will return to the ring, being outside for too long is also not good for my spirit. If there's anything you want to ask, you better ask now."

Fu Chen nodded softly without saying anything, so far all he thought about was practicing, he had almost forgotten his responsibility about the mission Li Chun had given him back then.

Fu Chen became worried whether he would return to the sect or not, regardless of the mission Fu Chen also had difficulty explaining the origin of his strength now. It felt impossible to tell Li Chun about the existence of a Dou Huang and the mission he gave.

As he thought about it further, Fu Chen suddenly recalled the wooden box he found the other day. Perhaps he could ask Dou Huang for help to open the wooden box.

"So the one who sealed this wooden box was your father? Looks like your family has quite good talent, I've almost never heard of a Swordsman King being able to make a seal this strong."

"So...did Master open it?"

"Heh don't underestimate me, this seal is nothing." Dou Huang stroked his beard, one flick of his hand managed to make the electrical energy on the wooden box break instantly.

Fu Chen widened his eyes, quickly checking the contents of the wooden box. Inside it turned out to be some thin books and notes from Tang Shu. Attention then Fu Chen locked onto a piece of paper that looked like a letter.

In it was written the advice and advice of Tang Shu to Fu Chen if he wanted to make the name of the Tang clan back in the know. Tang Shu advised Fu Chen to cooperate with the clan that had fled to the Eastern continent, the Ye clan.

Fu Chen was a little surprised as he read it, Xiao Jing once said that the Ye family that led the Golden Star organization was actually not from the Song Empire.

However Fu Chen really did not expect that the Ye family was also one of the Tang clan's business associates in the past.

"The Golden Star Organization. I think I can establish a relationship with them while Brother Xuan Rong is on my side."
