System Break the Limit - Qing Shandian' Journey
Ch.05 - Learning the Thousand Swords Split the Sky Technique

The night slowly coiled with the light of the moon illuminated the darkness of the night. Sitting in his room, Qing Shandian calmly concentrated on studying the 'Thousand Swords Split the Sky' Technique Book'. He read it slowly, examining each written guide. He flipped through one sheet after another of those engineering books.

Not felt, the night just passed. When Qing Shandian heard the sound of knocking on the door and his mother's call, he instantly came to his senses from his mode of comprehension. Looking to the side only to find the morning light barging into his room. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yes, ma'am. I'm coming, wait a minute."

He quickly got up, then washed his face. After he finished drying his face, he walked out of his room. Arriving at the dining room, Qing Shandian found her parents looking back at her strangely.

"Ehem... Dad, mom, what's up now? Why look at me like that?" Said Qing Shandian with a bit of confusion.

"You brat... What have you been doing all night?" Said Qing Yuan probing.

"Ahaha... That's.. Fathering.. Ahem.. Actually, I haven't slept, hehe... I was late in understanding technique last night. If it wasn't for mom's call, maybe I'd still be immersed in understanding." Facing her father's probing question, Qing Shandian replied rather clumsyly with slightly twitching lips. He forgot that he had not slept, so he had a panda on both of his lower eyelids.

"Basar you boy.. Didn't you tell me to study it slowly?" Said Qing Yuan in a reprimanding tone.

"An'er, at your current age, you really don't need to rush. There will be plenty of time for you to grow and develop. Dad and mom aren't scolding you, it's just that you're a kid, so it's only natural that we behave like this if you overreact to yourself." Lin Lianhua said to her husband.

"Sorry dad, mom. An'er didn't mean it that way. It was against An'er's will. Every time An'er learns something, An'er will always be like this, as if it were something deeply embedded in An'er. Whatever An'er learns, be it knowledge or technique, An'er will be instantly immersed in understanding." Qing Shandian felt guilty. With a lowered face, he explained about his condition.

Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua who heard his son's words were stunned. They never knew about this. A very rare case, which one in ten people do not necessarily experience. What it was was instantly immersed in understanding whenever it learned anything.

With a sigh, Lin Lianhua said softly, "Hahh... Forgive those of us who never knew. If you say it early, we will probably be able to understand your predicament.. Mom and Dad won't blame you. Anyway, anyway, you're still our son, so it's only natural that we worry about you."

Bravely, Qing Shandian raised his head, staring fixedly at the look in his mother's eyes that was full of affection and tenderness. Sighing deeply, he began to explain, "Huuhhhh... Dad, mom, that's exactly what happened to me. It started when I was 6 years old, whatever I learned, whether it was knowledge of this continent, about cultivation, techniques, human body analogy, medicine, alchemy, etc, I will always be immersed in understanding. Each level of difficulty, it would be different how long it would take for me to sink into that understanding. To this day, the longest case I have ever experienced was when I studied a copy of our Clan Cultivation Technique, the 'Nine Round Lightning Dragon Technique'. Furthermore, this 'Thousand Swords Split the Sky' Technique was the second longest case. So, mom and dad don't say that An'er is overreacting. Because being immersed in that understanding wasn't An'er's will."

Hearing his son's long explanation of his condition, Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua could only fall silent. After quite a long moment of silence, Lin Lianhua looked at Qing Yuan for a moment, then said gently with a smile, "Alright, father and mother now already understand your condition. We'll always support you as long as it's good."

"Hm... Maybe that's your advantage, little boy. Forgive your father and mother for our ignorance all along." Sahut Qing Yuan with a warm tone.

"Ah.. Father and mother need not apologize, instead, An'er is happy, An'er is proud to have a father and mother who love and care for An'er." Qing Shandian said as he waved his hand. Pause for a moment, he continued excitedly. "Today, An'er will practice the Thousand Swords Split the Sky Technique that father gave him. An'er understood it completely. What was left behind was simply practicing the movements and how to channel Qi to a technique. This would be the first time for An'er to use a fighting technique. Dad and mom don't mind, do you accompany An'er to practice?"

Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua looked at each other, then they nodded.

"Emmm... We will monitor and evaluate your training later. I'll take you somewhere, but before that, we'll eat."

"Well, thank you, mom." Said Qing Shandian happily accompanied by his sparkling eyes.

...-------------------------...

At the top of the hill, not far from the Snow Lotus City. Currently standing quietly two people were observing a little boy playing his sword. At first, his movements looked stiff. However, as time passed, and the more movements he played, the movement of the little boy in playing the sword became even more refined. He danced around with his sword which was getting longer, his movements were also getting faster, getting more agile.

Yes, that brat was Qing Shandian who was practicing the 'Thousand Swords Split the Sky' Technique'. Each swing of his sword looked gentle, yet it carried ferocity. In this technique, there are seven steps that must be mastered if you want to achieve perfection. Among them:

First Step - Sword Puncture

Second Step - Slash Sword

Step Three - Rain Sword

Fourth Step - Tornado Sword

Sixth Step - Sword of Destruction

The Seventh Step - The Thousand Sword of Destruction

Right at this moment, Qing Shandian shouted softly,

"Thousand Swords Split the Sky, First Step - Puncture Sword"

Qing Yuan channeled his Qi at this step. He pointed his sword at a large rock not far from him. A beam of white light accompanied by transparent black lightning streaked until it struck the huge rock fiercely. This lightning was not part of the Technique, but was formed from the Innate Qi of the Qing Clan, the transparent black lightning.

"Blarrr..."

The stone was smashed into pieces with the crackling of lightning that was clearly visible. Qing Shandian continued to play his sword, before long, he shouted again,

"Second step - Slash of the Sword!" Following his voice, a beam of white light accompanied by transparent black lightning shot back. But this time, it was shaped like a crescent moon. The slash was as if splitting the wind, revealing it an extremely clear Qi ripple.

"Blarrr..." The sturdy shade tree exploded. Wood powder flakes scattered everywhere.

Qing Shandian continued to swing his sword tirelessly, by pointing his sword at the sky, Qing Shandian shouted back, saying,

"Third Step - Rain of the Sword!" Following his voice, many swords formed from condensing Qi above his head. Then, Qing Shandian swung his sword towards the rocks that were a little further away from him.

"Blarr's.. Blarrs.. Blarrr.. Blarrr.. " The sound of the explosion was earthy for quite a while, until it finally subsided. Followed by Qing Shandian's next shout, "Fourth Step - Sword Tornado!"

Many swords condensed from Qi reappeared and spun rapidly like a tornado. With a swing of his sword, the sword tornado headed back towards the area of rocks. The sound of the explosion was again simple, until it appeared that the rock area was flat, as if there was never an area of rocks there. Only after performing the Fourth Step - Tornado Sword, the 'Thousand Swords Split the Sky' Technique, Qing Shandian stopped his actions.

Grain of sweat seemed to pour out profusely on his forehead. His clothes also looked a little wet. However, from the glare of her sharp eyes, there was the satisfaction she felt. His advantages, had led him to the success of his training. Staring at the sword in his hand for a moment, Qing Shandian then turned to the direction where his parents were watching him train. With gontai steps in exhaustion, Qing Shandian slowly walked up to them.

However, before Qing Shandian reached in front of his parents, Qing Shandian's gaze suddenly felt hazy. Everything turned dark, and his body slowly fell down. Just before he fell, his father had already caught him first.

Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua looked at her son who was fainting from exhaustion and was running out of Qi.

With****** long, Qing Yuan said, "Haahhhhh.... What a stubborn boy. Forcing himself to not even realize that his Qi was drained."

"Huhhh... He's stubborn, just like you, his father..." Lin Lianhua's voice quipped in Qing Shandian's joking tone.

"Ehh.. Why me? Oh.. Emm.. Yes, yes, I am stubborn. " Qing Yuan said somewhat clumsily. Then he added in a solemn voice, "It was really unexpected, that this little brat was actually able to grasp quite a difficult fighting technique very quickly. From the looks of it earlier, I can tell that it was amazing. Not only were his movements perfect, even the use of Qi he channeled at each Technique Step was perfect. At his current level, even if he were to face an ordinary 6-star Qi Refining cultivator, he would easily defeat him."

"I think so too. No movement is wasted. Huhh... We parents have made many years of effort in vain compared to An'er." Lin Lianhua said as she compared herself to her son with a long sigh.

"You're right Hua'er... It feels like our efforts over the years have been in vain when compared to An'er... All right, let's go home. Let An'er rest comfortably. He needs to recover before our departure. It seemed, An'er was already very impatient to start his first adventure.. Hehe.." Said Qing Yuan while looking at his son who was fast asleep.

Hearing that, Lin Lianhua nodded. Then they got up and disappeared from the top of the hill. It was as if the three of them had never been there...
