Swordsman of the Sword God
Ch. 320 - The Story of a Little Child III
"Then the old man took him to a remote cave.
In that place, the old man would torture the child every day, while forcing him to do strange and strange exercises the entire time. Similarly, the old man would beat and whip every muscle in the child's body at different times. The old man would mention that he was softening the body so that he would become stronger over time.
The old man would even leave him without food, only giving him an animal every three or four days, whether it was a rabbit, a deer, a wolf, a bird, a mouse.. Sometimes he leaves the child without food for an entire week.
The old man told him that he would take it as his disciple and that if he managed to survive the training and defeat him in the end, he would let him live.
The child accepts desperately, not knowing that new torments and sufferings will begin.
Five years had passed, with the child suffering countless torments every day without being able to rest or even sleep well. He tried to run away several times, but somehow the old man would always notice it, and after he found it, he would, the child will suffer painful punishment to the point that a man cannot get out of bed for a few days, the child still does, he said, only by the power of his own will in the desire to live and avenge his family.
One day, the boy, who was now an adult, learned of the existence of the old man drunk and asleep, where the boy rummaged through his belongings and found a book related to it.
The book looked very old and ancient, and in it it was all about cultivators and what they were doing.
He learned about the basics, as well as how to cultivate a little and what he had to do first.
There was also another book that caught his attention and he picked it up.
Thanks to the book, the boy knew that the old man wanted to take over his body, but for that he had to suffer so that he could destroy his soul and the old man could possess his body more easily. That was why he was the only survivor because the old man realized that his body could cultivate.
With the knowledge gained in his mind, the boy gathered some plants that he was not sure would be useful or not because the book mentioned that every plant had energy to cultivate. He also stole a small crystal from the old man without his knowledge.
When the day comes when the old man will have his body, so that day will be the decisive day.
The boy tried to make the old man give him more time because he had not finished his usual training. The old man nodded after a long time and decided to drink again.
The boy quickly gathered all the objects that were said to have spiritual energy and tried cultivating as said in the manual. After a long time, he managed to cultivate.
Since the old man was drunk, the boy managed to increase his cultivation a few more times before this event quickly caught the old man's attention.
The old man became very angry and quickly decided to drop the child and then possess his body when he saw that he was about to reach his cultivation level.
Apparently the old man had been injured before and his injuries were incurable, so he was dying quickly. In the five years that the old man had spent torturing and softening his future body, his strength could not help either but wane due to his injuries.
The boy thought it would be easy to fight the old man after cultivating for a while, but what he did not know was that the old man was still a little stronger than him. Likewise, the boy did not know any techniques or how to fight with others.
This resulted in an immediate loss, leaving him almost at the point of death.
However, the Medal left behind by his original family when he was a child shone as the boy's blood covered him, starting to form an energy barrier around him to protect him. The boy was dying, so he couldn't see much and thought he was imagining something.
The old man was furious and never realized that the boy's medal was a mysterious object.
The old man managed to break the barrier in one of his attempts, but before he could do anything, The medal shone even brighter as the surrounding wind started to change and finally an energy sword formed in the air, leading to the old man. .
The old man was easily killed by that sword.
The sword formed from the energy did not dissolve and instead approached the boy.
The boy thought that the sword would also kill him, so he could not help but close his eyes and tremble in fear. He thought that now that the old man had finally died, he would be able to live, but now the sword would kill him.
However, the sword did not kill him and instead made the boy take it in his hand, as if the sword was trying to convey something to him.
Immediately after, the sword made an unexpected move and entered the boy's body, scaring him.
The boy soon realized that there was energy filling his body and started cultivating as he remembered.
The spiritual energy was so abundant that it broke through several stages in a row.
Finally, after suffering from trying to break down the final barrier, the boy made it into the next realm.
The boy did not know much about cultivation, so when he was about to leave the cave and return to the city, he saw a place inside the cave that contained many crystals.
He knew that the crystals had energy in them, so they could make them stronger.
He noticed a book that said 'The Secret Cultivation Technique on the skeleton, so he took the opportunity and advanced to take it.
The surprise came when laughter spread all over the place and great spiritual energy started coming from the skeleton itself.
That energy took on a human form, and began to speak, referring to the fact that he was a soul and that he would have his body.
This time, the skeletal soul easily imprisoned the boy even though his cultivation had increased a little.
The soul said it had high natural strength.
Once again, the medallion began to shine and tried to protect the child by forming the first barrier that was destroyed at once by the soul and then trying to reshape the sword, which was also destroyed by the skeletal soul.
The boy thought that he was really going to die. But at the very last moment, the Medal began to shine with a much higher intensity as it began to expend more energy, even to the point of scaring away the evil soul.
That mysterious energy began to take on a human form quickly, adding more fear and terror to the skeletal soul.
The human soul that came out of the Medal destroyed and wiped out the skeletal soul before disappearing, but not before smiling at the boy and finally sending some of its energy to his body to heal his wounds.
However, the Medal eventually broke and no longer showed the brightness as before.
The boy knew that his biological family had to be a cultivator, at least a strong cultivator ...
The boy immediately saw a mysterious door inside the dark room that began to glow as he felt his body forcing him to enter.
After hesitating for a moment, the boy came forward and as he passed through the door, he found himself as if he were in the sea. In the middle of the sea there was a shining island.
Turning around to return, he was shocked when behind him there was nothing left, not even the door he had entered!
With no choice but to continue, the boy began advancing past a bridge made of glass that led him to the island in the middle of the sea.
The sea surface was calm, without ripples in the water.
When he turned around again to look back, the boy was stunned to see that even the beach he was on just a moment ago was no longer there, only the unfinished glass bridge could be seen.
Furthermore, he was shocked when he saw that the island was made of pure crystal.
As the boy advanced, fear returned to him when he found another skeleton on top.
Behind the skeleton, there was what looked like a transparent crystal core that glittered and was on top of a natural stone pedestal.
The boy sensed that in order to get out of that place he had to get close and pass through that skeleton.
He approached the skeleton carefully. However, it seemed to be just a skeleton and that was it.
On the skeleton's hand bones, there were precious rings and dried tree seeds.
The boy boldly took the two objects and heaved a sigh of relief when nothing else happened.
He walked up to the glass ball and touched it when he felt his body telling him to do it.
A light entered his head without him knowing what was happening? he could only see three small objects coming into his forehead. At the same time, the always calm water surface went wild as the sea shook and the crystal mountain also shook.
Instantly, the boy felt dizzy and often felt like he was falling into the air.
After his dizziness ended and he opened his eyes, the boy was in the middle of what looked like a forest. Next to her was a river and she decided to take a bath.
Since he did not know where he was, he decided to leave the forest and walk until he found a city.
Shortly after he came out of the forest, the boy met two girls on the street..."
