SURO BLEDEK
Ch. 76 SURPRISING CONFESSIONS
"My decision as the Head of the Heaven Sword College center, will be to carry out the rescue mission of Eyang Sindurogo after the Suro nakmas completed the Nine Heavenly Round technique. Are there any elders who object to my decision this time?"
The Sword God stared at the entire side of the room where the elders were sitting facing him.
"I don't mind about the rescue mission that the head of the center will be carrying out, it's just like Udan Asrep's brother said, preferably before doing that mission we already have a solution first to overcome the forces that are able to suck our energy in nature, where Eyang Sindurogo trapped." Eyang Tunggak Semi spoke up after no other elders spoke.
"Regarding that hopefully nakmas can find a solution, because he also has the technique. If he has not found a solution we will think together while waiting for Nakmas Suro to finish his training. Besides, during that time, all of you will practice the slash technique of a million swords. For your attack power to increase drastically."
"Given the opponent we will face is likely not like ordinary humans. The possibility of a creature from ancient times whose strength must have been very high, at least already at the sky stage. May the universe of Lord Batara be on our side. Because I haven't really understood what their strength is. But from the experience of the moment I entered that realm, the suction power was so strong."
"Other than that an aura of power or something? Being able to incarnate into giant hands that are as big as an elephant, is not something that is easy to face. According to my estimation it was a form of defensive magic formation. Because when I tried to cut it up with my sword energy it was like cutting through the air, not hitting or hurting it at all"
The meeting finally ended with the decision of almost all the elders to participate in the mission to save Eyang Sindurogo. Not a single elder disputed. Moreover, the Sword God would promise them all before setting out on that mission, they would all be taught the technique of slashing a million swords.

After the meeting, Suro began to practice the nine-round sky technique in a joglo house building. But it seems that the building was indeed devoted to training only because the place was a bit far behind the House of the Sword God.
"Are we able to free Uncle Eyang Master this time?"
The sword god took a deep breath first before answering Suro's question.
"If the reality we face later is the opponent of ancient creatures as told by Dewi Anggini, I think it will not be easy to face them. But as long as there's hope, we'll face it even though it's so hard."
"Therefore, do not waste the trust of Master Nakmas who holds great hope. Immediately complete the ninth stage of the exercise in the nine-round technique of the sky. I guess after the nakmas were able to pass through the power techniques in the nine rounds of the sky, the power of the Suro nakmas was equivalent to a high-level swordsman."
"But the inner energy in this technique has its own peculiarities. This is because the condition of kanda in every individual who does this technique has nine natural elements. So that the power generated by this inner energy technique, each level is equivalent to nine times stronger than the level of energy in people in general."
"Only the condition of the nakmas is very different from other people. I don't know how much power the nakmas actually have after this technique has been completed by the nakmas."
"A very unreasonable power if you look at the level of inner energy that you have and see the exertion of power that you show, very much different. Could the technique that nakmas called by the name of the four sage technique that causes the deployment of the power of the nakmas so awesome?"
Suro did not immediately answer the Sword God question just like hesitating to answer it.
"Regarding the power that Suro muster is able to be so great, there are actually various techniques that Suro does simultaneously when gathering energy in uncle. Not only sourced from four sage techniques that supply additional power in my body. This I say to my uncle only because the Master's Eyeang does not allow me to tell anyone, but to me the teacher's uncle is now indirectly my teacher as well, then I will say it. This secret was previously only known by the teacher and myself. Therefore, Suro begged the teacher's uncle not to say what I was going to say this."
The Sword God was surprised to hear Suro saying, that he was able to gather energy through various techniques simultaneously. In addition, he was also surprised to find out that not only was the four sage technique so frightening that Suro had, it turned out that there were other techniques that made his inner exertions could make him so strong. The Sword God started scratching his head before answering Suro's request.
He did not understand how it was possible that Suro who was so young could master the power technique in so many ways. Moreover, the way the inner exertion that Suro did was so extraordinary. Because he collects chakra with various techniques at once. Somehow he could do that.
"Of course nakmas I definitely won't say anything to anyone else about the additional techniques I'm going to say."
'Is this technique so important that nakmas warns against telling others? Is this a God technique that anyone can know?' The Sword God sat in while rubbing his beard.
"Actually in addition to the Four Sage Technique which is able to absorb natural energy, Suro also uses special abilities that maybe only Suro himself has. Because with this special ability, Suro is able to gather the power of energy in by absorbing the power of the sun into chakra energy through energy techniques in the Sun God's footprint."
"Looky! I've never heard of someone as powerful as a nakmas. I didn't even think there was such a power. I thought the nakmas wanted to say that the technique came from Sang Hyang Nagasesa. It turned out to be something new, something I had never heard of before there were people who possessed abilities like those of nakmas."
"Does this ability have anything to do with the origins of where nakmas came from?" After hearing Suro's unique abilities the Sword God tried to investigate Suro's origins which to him felt mysterious. The more you recognize Suro, the more you discover the uniqueness that no one has. Even from the beginning he knew Suro's abilities were not abilities that anyone he had ever met could have. Remembering the earth techniques shown in the battle against the Giant Dragon was such a terrifying ability. But after knowing that knowledge comes from Sang Hyang Anantaboga, then he can understand because he is a God who controls seven layers of bhumi. It is said that his palace was in the depths of the earth, only he heard that the story came from a fairy tale when he was a child.
"Regarding that Suro lacks understanding of the teacher's uncle. Because Suro doesn't know where I'm from either. Since childhood, Suro could remember only the hands of the teacher who raised me to this size. But regarding the ability that Suro said just now I have been aware of since I was a child. Every time I bask under the hot sun, a form of strength seemed to struggle to enter my body. Make my body full of energy."
The Sword God within a moment he was speechless, unable to speak the words hearing Suro's words. He was so shocked by the ability he had never heard of before.
Suro only grinned the horse when he knew that his achievements were far beyond the Sword God when he first trained this technique.
"It's possible that uncle, because the training of energy in the nine rounds of the sky through meditation makes the absorption of chakra gathered from the power of the sun help break down Granthi or the energy knot at each stage."
"Has a matter of fact, it deserves the ability of nakmas even passed the inventor of this technique. He took nine full moons to pass through the entire stage."
"Alright then, now nakmas will start training. Before starting this exercise, uncle will explain again to remind nakmas at this ninth stage that he had explained. In the previous stage the nakmas have opened the granthi or knots of power that are in the muladhara chakra and anahata chakra. So in this ninth stage there is one more granthi that will open, which is in the ajna chakra."
"Usually there will be an explosion of energy once the knot is open. The magnitude of the burst of energy created depends on how much pure energy the nakmas are able to accumulate."
"With the opening of these three granthi will uncle make sure the power of energy in the nakmas will increase rapidly."
"In the ninth stage of meditation the nakmas use a mudra (hand gesture) a thousand petals of the crown.
Suro who heard the words of the Sword God nodded his head trying to understand what he said.
"Chakra ajna isn't that what the teacher's uncle calls the third eye chakra capable of increasing spiritual power?"
"Truly nakmas. Apparently nakmas still remembered what uncle said. One of the reasons uncle has such strong swordsmanship skills, because the deep power techniques that uncle used from the beginning have been able to open my third eye. So from the beginning uncle has been able to awaken my spiritual power. With the rise of my spiritual power sword energy and sword air increased dramatically, the following sword techniques that uncle mastered also increased. With the growing strength of my spiritual power also stirred up the sword stage. So that uncle can get through each stage more easily."
"Wow amazing uncle, I didn't expect this nine-round celestial technique to be so special. O, yes uncle, why didn't uncle let me pass stage nine before I contested the selection of the young elders the day after tomorrow? Isn't it with that ability that I can show my sword technique for the better?"
"The nakmas sword technique has been very good compared to all other participants."
"Right uncle, but what uncle master did not witness as I fought the Semi Stump Elder, even by using fifty sword blades at once. Suro was still unable to break through his defenses. How could Suro help the Teacher if only breaking through the elders' defenses was unable? Yephmmm!" Suro looked at the Sword God as he rubbed his face.
On the face of Suro looks a burden that is so heavy trying him to lift. Because at every moment he tried to become stronger again in order to be able to help Eyeang Sindurogo, but after seeing the results of his fight against the Semi Stump Elder, made him feel disappointed in himself.
Because all this time his mind has always been engulfed in feelings of guilt for not being able to help Eyang Sindurogo out of other realms. The burden was too heavy for a boy who was still his age, even though his body was already like that of a seven-teen-year-old child.
The Sword God did not immediately reply he looked at Suro's lethargic face after saying his grievance regarding his last fight.
"Regarding that nakmas need not be disappointed. It may be a disappointing result for the skipper, but rest assured that it is something quite remarkable. Even I myself cannot do as nakmas do. Attacking by using a hundred sword blades at once, I think that not even Eyang Sindurogo himself would go that far! Does the nakmas not see the Legionnaires until they have to use the ability to unite with the sword? Don't think about the fight before."
"As for why uncle did not let the nakmas finish the ninth stage first, the reason was because of the burst of energy that would occur at the last stage. Shortly after the nakmas opens the granthi in the ajna chakra. If the nakmas body is not ready, then the explosion will result in a very fatal risk. Therefore the uncle waits for the readiness of the nakmas body first. But after seeing what the nakmas did in the last fight, the uncle felt that the nakmas' body was already strongly receiving the effect of the burst of energy."
"Now please do the training! I think this house is strong enough to withstand the energy explosion that will occur!" The Sword God stared at the roof of the building that looked so sturdy. Because the whole building is joglo-shaped it is made of teak wood in the form of large blocks. Its bows of wood were almost the size of an adult's hand.
"Remember this stage of meditation using mudra (hand gesture) which I gave the example."
"Nuwun inggih uncle guru."
"Maybe until one full moon, the nakmas will continue to practice until it reaches the ninth stage."
Suro nodded slowly.
"Nuwun inggih(Good) uncle teacher Suro will soon finish this exercise."
'Wait for Eyang Guru one full moon ahead.'
Suro muttered softly while clenching onto his two hands.
